197: Where is my younger sister?

The young Cultivator turned his hand, and dozens of brilliant pearls appeared, continuously spinning around his body.

Counting them carefully, there were twenty-four in total, each one seemingly containing the power to hold the four seas.

Their power of suppression was even greater than that of the previous Zhenhai Divine Whip.

Kong Xuan's eyes lit up again; this was very likely already at the rank of a Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

"Little thief, take this!"

The young Cultivator struck again, and the twenty-four divine pearls flew out together.

They linked with one another, forming a massive net that covered the sky.

The young Cultivator gripped the Void Realm and shouted!

"Suppress!"

As his voice fell, the suppression power of the great net erupted violently, briefly suppressing this entire world.

Trapped within it, Kong Xuan's movements suddenly became extremely difficult.

A curve hooked at the corner of the young Cultivator's mouth.

"No matter how powerful you are, it is hard to withstand the Divine Might of my pearls!"

Under his control, the Sea Pacifying Divine Pearls continued to descend, intending to completely suppress Kong Xuan.

But just before the pearls could fully suppress him, Kong Xuan, positioned in the center, moved once more.

The Five-Colored Divine Light burst forth again.

The young Cultivator was instantly shocked; he had thought he had suppressed him until he couldn't move, but he didn't expect this sneaky bastard was still hiding his strength.

He watched helplessly as the Five-Colored Divine Light appeared and swept toward the pearls.

He no longer had any more means to stop it.

Without a doubt, the Sea Pacifying Divine Pearls were also taken away.

The young Cultivator's heart instantly turned to ash.

"Sister, the treasures... are all gone!"

Right at that moment, a sword hum sliced through the Void Realm, and a young Daoist appeared out of thin air; it was Tongtian.

"Disciple, what has happened to cause this!"

Seeing his backer arrive, the young Cultivator began to wail and complain.

He recounted everything from seeing his sister being beaten to his treasures being taken.

While speaking, Tongtian inadvertently glanced at Kong Xuan.

Capturing a certain dao rhyme, he couldn't help but feel a bit startled and suspicious.

Kong Xuan met his gaze, and his heart was also startled.

He saw the qingping sword circling the man, its Sword Intent reaching the heavens.

Strands of pressure emanated, actually carrying a hint of profound and unfathomable dao rhyme.

This was a Saint appearing in person!

With a Saint appearing, this matter became quite different.

At this time, the Void Realm shook again, and dao rhyme manifested.

Two figures walked out from within, shielding him behind them.

It was the two Dao Venerables!

Kong Xuan was instantly enveloped by a powerful sense of security.

With the Dao Venerables here, he no longer had to worry.

Qing Wu recognized the young Cultivator standing beside Tongtian.

Holding a divine whip and accompanied by twenty-four Sea Pacifying Divine Pearls, who else could it be but Zhao Gongming.

However, this Outer Sect Eldest Senior Brother of the Jie Sect, who would shine brilliantly in the future Investiture of the Gods and stand alone against the Immortals of the Chan Sect,

was currently no match for Kong Xuan at all.

The battle just now could be described as an old man playing with a naughty child.

However, for the sake of the Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming was actually able to be unafraid of death.

Even knowing he was outmatched, he still fought to the death, which showed the depth of the siblings' affection.

Qing Wu smiled faintly and then bowed to Tongtian, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, it has been a long time. I have yet to congratulate you on your Dao validation and becoming a Saint."

Yuan Feng also followed with a bow.

They had once met the Three Pure Ones.

But during that meeting, it was mainly Qing Wu who had a pleasant conversation with the Three Pure Ones; Yuan Feng had not paid them much attention.

At that time, although the Three Pure Ones had quite a reputation in the Great Desolation as the Pangus Legitimate Successors,

they ultimately weren't enough for her to take seriously.

But now that the Three Pure Ones had all achieved Dao validation and become Saints, the situation was different.

Seeing the two appear, Tongtian immediately returned the bow.

"Fellow Daoists, what a pleasure!"

"I happened to be preaching here and accepted some disciples; I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

Having been looked down upon before, Tongtian had always held a grudge in his heart and wanted to get back at them after becoming a Saint.

But after actually becoming a Saint, he gained a deeper understanding of some secrets of the Great Desolation.

Upon learning that these two had relied on their own efforts to walk the path of Hunyuan in the Great Desolation,

Tongtian also involuntarily felt a sense of respect.

The Great Desolation needed Saints, but it needed Hunyuan even more.

Therefore, he did not want to make enemies of these two over this matter.

"I wonder how you two Fellow Daoists intend to handle this matter."

"Fellow Daoist, you should know that one must not listen to only one side."

"Only by understanding the beginning and end of the matter can one make the most comprehensive judgment," Qing Wu said slowly.

Tongtian was good in many ways, but he was a bit too prone to believing his Disciples.

Thinking of the original great trend, it was precisely because Tongtian listened to the one-sided words of Duobao and other Disciples that the Immortal Slaying Formation, the Myriad Immortals Formation, and the battle of Saints occurred.

In the end, the Jie Sect completely entered the tribulation, becoming ash and filling the investiture of the gods tablet.

Reminding him now might allow him to fix some of his flaws.

Hearing this, Tongtian frowned and then looked at his Disciple.

"Gongming, is what you said just now the truth, and was it seen with your own eyes?"

Being asked this, Zhao Gongming was momentarily unsure of where to begin.

He had only seen Kong Xuan taking the Sanxiao away; he had not seen him strike and injure the Sanxiao.

In his urgency, he had boldly attacked and engaged in a great battle, resulting in his own treasures being taken.

"It's simple, just bring them back."

Yuan Feng spoke, then directly reached out into the Void Realm.

A moment later she withdrew her hand, which now held a Golden-Winged Great Peng, with a limp Flood Dragon dangling from its beak.

It seemed the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon had been treated quite miserably after being caught.

Seeing so many eyes staring at him, Jin Peng let out low growls.

This was... protecting his food!

Smack!

"I'll give you 'protecting food'!"

Yuan Feng directly slapped him, sending him flying backward.

The force was just right—dazed but without brain damage.

Jin Peng's mouth loosened, and the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon fell out.

Then Qing Wu had Kong Xuan release the Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming's two treasures.

Looking at his three sisters who had been beaten back to their original forms, and the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon that still carried a hint of killing intent,

Zhao Gongming's eyes instantly widened. "So it was you! What a damnable beast! You've targeted my three sisters several times, and this time while I was away, you actually struck such a cruel blow."

"Die!"

Saying this, Zhao Gongming was about to strike and kill the dying Yin-Yang Flood Dragon.

Tongtian reached out to stop him, "Gongming, step down. This no longer concerns you."

His voice clearly carried a hint of anger.

Although he knew Zhao Gongming had spoken nonsense out of an urgent desire to protect his sisters,

it was one thing to deceive him, but it almost caused him to make enemies of these two Fellow Daoists; that Karma would have been immense.

Tongtian hurried to apologize.

"I am truly sorry. My Disciple was momentarily blinded by urgency; I hope you two will not take offense."

Qing Wu lightly waved his hand and sent Zhao Gongming's two treasures back. "No matter. They can be considered to have met through a fight."

"Since the misunderstanding is resolved, these two treasures are returned to their original owner."

Looking at his regained treasures, Zhao Gongming was delighted, but soon his heart sank slightly.

The treasures were back, but where was his sister...
