Chapter 13 An Impromptu Rescue

“I am from Biyou Palace. I am very interested in the immortal artifact in your hand. Hand it over.”

The voice in his mind was of unknown origin, but it revealed the identity of Biyou Palace. Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord immediately rebuked, "Monster, dare to use the technique of telepathic transmission to fool us!"

"Impersonating a Biyou Palace cultivator, are you not afraid of offending Xia Maoshan!"

The voice immediately laughed, "Oh! You think I'm impersonating?"

"Then alright, feel where I am speaking to you from!"

Immediately afterwards, the power belonging to the Shangqing Dharma Realm descended. The rich Shangqing aura filled the altar. Azure moon, golden light, clouds and mist, all created out of thin air.

The six Dharma Lords were shaken. "He is descending from the Shangqing Dharma Realm!"

Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord also felt a chill run down his spine.

The control of Biyou Palace over the Shangqing Dharma Realm had actually reached such a state that they could use the Dharma Realm to act in the mortal world. They could enter and exit the invisible realm, come and go between life and death. Who could possibly find the踪迹 of Biyou Palace cultivators!

"Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord, are you afraid of Biyou Palace?"

"Do you find it unbelievable? But the spells of Biyou Palace originate from Shangqing, so it's only natural that they have strong control over the Shangqing Dharma Realm, isn't it?"

"You are all using the power of the Shangqing Dharma Realm... This power spreads to you all, is cultivated and used by you all, and finally, the incense and wishes you obtain will all return to the Shangqing Dharma Realm, helping us to grasp even greater power."

"And your Dao lineages may not always be your own methods."

Guanyin Dharma Lord said, "We all know... Yes, that's how it is."

"Great Manifest Brilliance, what does this immortal artifact that the Shangxian (immortal) mentioned mean?"

The flames flickered, but there was silence. No sound came out.

Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord's face was very unsightly at this moment.

"Since you have mind-reading abilities, I won't bother thinking about anything."

"I do have an immortal artifact, but I can't give it to you. I want to present it to the Palace Lord of Biyou Palace."

Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord prepared to make a final gamble. Presenting it was of course a lie, but as long as he could get this cultivator to retreat, he could directly seek help from Prince Lu to resolve this predicament.

The voice of the Biyou Palace cultivator descended, "I know where your immortal artifact came from."

"The order to take back your immortal artifact was issued by the Palace Lord."

"Sorry, we already know everything you discussed with Prince Lu."

"It turns out that you separated a part of the wishes here, which led to our sovereign noticing the anomaly, and only then did we窥视 (peep) your actions...."

"Alas... Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord, do you know that betrayers will pay a great price? All the spells of Xia Maoshan came from the Shangqing Sect. Now, I only need to move my mind slightly."

"Your spells will kill you."

As his words fell, Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord began to experience severe pain, and the surrounding world of flames also experienced high temperatures. The Fire Evasion Technique was gradually failing!

If he did not escape from the world of flames before the Fire Evasion Technique failed, then he would be burned alive in the raging fire!

"Five Manifestations Head Official Great Emperor!"...."It's not working. I've retrieved the form and spirit of the Five Manifestations Head Official Great Emperor here."

The Biyou Palace cultivator, with the help of the power of the Shangqing Dharma Realm, forcibly controlled the divine position of Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord. The divine position left his body and was taken back by Biyou Palace. This method of forcibly stripping away a divine position was extremely domineering.

Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord immediately fell into a sea of fire. The Fire Evasion Technique was collapsing. He immediately began to look for an exit, but the Biyou Palace cultivator was still mocking:

"Without the divine position of the God of Fire, your Fire Evasion Technique will kill you. Now hand over the immortal artifact, and I will send you out, and Biyou Palace will not hold your betrayal against you!"

"There's no need to search blindly. You won't find the exit. The lights in front of those five Dharma Lords have all been extinguished."

"You beast! You slave with two surnames! Quickly hand over the immortal artifact!"

.......

Black Fiend Dharma Lord looked at the extinguished lights in front of him, his expression hesitant. The voice in his mind was forcing Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord, while he was confused and didn't know where Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord had betrayed Biyou Palace.

Black Fiend Dharma Lord could also hear those voices in his mind. Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord seemed to be about to be burned alive.

"Great Manifest Brilliance betrayed Biyou Palace? No, he has always been under the command of Prince Lu.... Prince Lu, could it be that he is the most beloved prince of today's emperor?"

"So this prince is also a cultivator."

"You reap what you sow. Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord, we six sects are connected, and now that disaster has really come, we can only fly away separately. Your death is not our fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Guangze Dharma Lord for being碎嘴 (garrulous)."

Black Fiend Dharma Lord muttered a few times, and Ji Xiang heard it clearly on the statue, and secretly thought that he couldn't let this Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord die in the world of flames.

If the people from Biyou Palace didn't come out, how could he catch them alive?

If you want to destroy someone, you must first make them go mad. Ji Xiang's eyes looked at some of the yellow talismans beside the statue. Just by looking at them, the incense aura naturally burned on the talisman paper. Soon, a few yellow talismans flew up, and this change also made Black Fiend Dharma Lord turn his head back, shocked!

In front of the statue of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, a ball of flame suddenly rose!

Black Fiend Dharma Lord was almost scared out of his wits!

"Zhenwu manifesting?!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu was manifesting sacred power to protect Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord? How could I see such a sight?

He almost prostrated himself, but soon he broke out in a cold sweat and thought of the terrible consequences!

If Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord ran out of the world of flames, wouldn't he be questioned by the Biyou Palace cultivator! That would definitely be a thunderous rage!

Thinking of this, he immediately kowtowed to the Zhenwu statue and said, "Lord Zhenwu! Please forgive this disciple's disrespect!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately began to put out the fire. How could Ji Xiang let him put out the fire? So the incense stirred up the talismans, and suddenly the entire altar was filled with fire!

Black Fiend Dharma Lord was stunned by this scene. He originally wanted to pinch off the three incense sticks, but because Zhenwu was manifesting, he didn't dare to do such a disrespectful thing. He could only stand aside helplessly, sighing and shouting, "My life is over!"

Sure enough, the flames soon boiled, and Great Manifest Brilliance Dharma Lord, covered in raging fire, ran out from a candlestick, and the Biyou Palace cultivator was already furious!

"Black Fiend Dharma Lord, you dare to help this traitor?"

Black Fiend Dharma Lord pleaded, "Immortal, spare me! It wasn't me who did it. The statue of Lord Zhenwu moved the incense itself and wrote a fire curse!"

Biyou Palace cultivator: "Are you a fool or am I a fool? The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gods are all divine positions. You're telling me that the divine position spontaneously combusted and wrote a fire curse? I see it sitting in the shrine just fine!"

"You traitor, you betrayed and you dare to lie to me. Double the punishment!"
