Immortal Travel of Longevity

Buddhist light shrouded his body.

A large bell seemed to rise from beneath the Little Beggar's feet, transforming into a halo of light that spread outward to cover the pavilion.

The Evil Phoenix frowned, his feathers slashing outward like sharp blades.

"Clang, clang..."

As the feathers clashed against the Golden Bell, a faint Buddhist rhythm seemed to echo outward.

The golden light vibrated intensely.

The Evil Phoenix seemed to see a massive hand stretch out from within the Golden Bell, slapping down toward him.

"Boom..."

With a loud crash, the golden Buddhist hand faded away.

"Bald donkey!" the Evil Phoenix snapped. "Ruining my grand plans!"

But immediately after, the qilin strode forward, its sharp claws slashing down at him.

Seeing this, the Evil Phoenix dodged and demanded, "Mo Yu, you chased me all the way here from the Desolate Sea! We both once served under the Divine Lord, why must you drive me to the brink of death?!"

Mo Yu snorted coldly. "Do not mention the past!"

As he spoke, the qilin opened its mouth and spat out a blast of demonic fire.

The Evil Phoenix frowned deeply, his eyes burning with resentment.

His gaze shifted to the Ritual Cauldron.

But the Little Beggar of the Buddhist Dao was blocking the way.

A wolf ahead and a tiger behind.

Yet what filled him with even more apprehension was the man sitting by the shore of The Lake.

Even if he were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize Chen Changsheng!

Ruyi frowned. Her gaze lingered on the young lord in black, and she couldn't help but mutter, "So ugly..."

Furthermore, for some reason, he looked somewhat familiar to her.

Why was that?

Mo Yuan watched the scene and asked, "Mister, do you want me to go help them?"

Chen Changsheng replied, "No rush."

He actually wanted to see just how many tricks this Evil Phoenix had left, and how he had managed to escape from the flower petals of his Divine Abilities back then.

And then there was that Little Beggar...

No matter how he looked at him, there was something strange.

His Buddhist dharma didn't originate from himself, so what was his purpose in coming here?

It was clearly not as simple as just attending this Investiture of Immortals Assembly.

Shangguan Ningjing watched the spectacle, feeling somewhat astonished.

He had seen quite a few demons, and had killed quite a few as well.

But to see a battle like this was a first.

Was this what a true demon was like?

Then what were the things he had encountered before?

Suddenly, Shangguan Ningjing lost a bit of his confidence.

"Sinister demon!"

A golden lotus manifested between the Little Beggar's brows. He lifted his foot, rising into the air as he walked toward the Evil Phoenix.

Mo Yu also slowly closed in, and Jian Shenghua approached wielding an Immortal Sword.

The three of them completely surrounded the Evil Phoenix.

"Using numbers to bully the few?"

The Evil Phoenix sneered. "How ridiculous."

His heart gave a slight pause, but from the corner of his eye, he kept his attention on Chen Changsheng by the shore.

If he were only facing the three people in front of him...

...he could indeed retreat in one piece.

But with Chen Changsheng here, it wasn't a certainty...

He knew very well just how capable this green-robed cultivator was. Even though he had recovered up to seventy percent of his strength, it probably still wouldn't be enough to matter in front of that man.

Accept defeat? Or risk it all one more time?

Jian Shenghua gripped his sword and said, "It wasn't easy for us to chase you for so long. Now that Mister Chen is here, you should stop these futile struggles. Just surrender without a fight."

The Evil Phoenix did not answer, remaining perfectly silent.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the pavilion.

Several people were also watching the situation unfold above.

Long Rong didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. In fact, she didn't quite understand what they were even doing here.

How had this Investiture of Immortals Assembly taken such a strange turn?

And that Little Beggar...

Long Rong had never expected that the Buddhist Schools would actually step in and intervene.

Tu Hu, Zhu Wuneng, and Lu Qishan—these three Great Demons were among the few survivors of the Spirit Cage Demon Domain. The current situation couldn't help but give them a slight sense of crisis.

It stemmed from that Little Beggar.

Back then, Feng Feiyu had sacrificed his life to collapse the spirit cage. After his hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, that power of the Buddhist Dao had nearly purified the entire spirit cage. They had only narrowly escaped disaster.

When it came to anything with even the slightest connection to Feng Feiyu, they had to tread carefully.

Lu Qishan looked at Tu Hu and asked, "Are we still going to stay here?"

Tu Hu replied, "Of course we're staying. Don't tell me you want to hide for the rest of your life? Lingering on your last breath under the Heavenly Dao?"

Lu Qishan's heart gave a slight pause, feeling that the danger this time was far too great.

Because she felt that the Little Beggar seemed to be aiming for them.

Lu Qishan indeed had reason to worry.

But Tu Hu was different.

When he came here and saw that person, he felt assured.

He hadn't expected to see this person here either.

That was...

...an old friend from the past.

Zhu Wuneng, however, was hesitating like one holding a chess piece, unable to decide. He said, "Sister Lu, Old Pig will follow your lead, hehe."

Lu Qishan frowned slightly but didn't respond.

Zhu Wuneng seemed incredibly stupid, but in reality, he harbored many hidden thoughts.

Lu Qishan understood this better than anyone.

Back in the day, it was exactly because everyone thought he was stupid that he managed to carve out and take control of the Twelve Caves' forces.

Up in a distant tree, there was indeed a cultivator in Daoist robes watching this scene.

He chuckled and said, "Interesting."

But there was no rush. It wasn't his time to step onto the stage just yet. When their Quanshan Lineage finally made their move, it had to be a shocking debut.

He had no interest in the Investiture Scroll.

What Quanshan needed was orthodoxy, an orthodoxy like that of Qingshan City.

Everyone present harbored their own ulterior motives.

Only one person was somewhat bewildered, and that was probably the Old Ox.

His gaze was blank, and he didn't even know what he should be doing. Before coming to the Investiture of Immortals Assembly, he hadn't even considered the possibility of a fight.

Lihua stayed on the shore. She was a bit anxious and asked, "Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan, Mo Yu won't lose, will he?"

Mo Yuan thought about it and said, "Three against one, how could they lose? Just relax."

"Oh, oh..."

Lihua kept watching, her heart still full of worry.

Ruyi looked at Lihua's nervous appearance. Come to think of it, she rarely saw Lihua this worried.

Mo Yu was truly very important to Lihua.

Ping'an took a deep breath, recovering from his sheer shock.

Honestly speaking, these things had indeed thoroughly horrified him. It was as if something within his heart had collapsed, but it had also truly broadened his horizons.

Just as he was thinking this...

...he suddenly saw a bright light rise.

A ring of fire abruptly ignited around the Evil Phoenix's body.

"So what if this venerable one risks my life against you all!"

He shouted, and immediately after, the shadowy flames swelled brilliantly, blinding to the eye.

Seeing this, Jian Shenghua slashed out with his sword, Mo Yu pointed from afar, and the Little Beggar chanted Buddhist scriptures, causing the Buddhist light to flare. The three of them attacked in unison.

But in the next instant, the Evil Phoenix's figure suddenly burst like a bubble.

"Bang."

Accompanied by a burst of fire, that body seemed to vanish within it.

Seeing this, Jian Shenghua pulled back his hand, suddenly realizing what had happened.

"Crap!"

Only then did the others realize it too.

They saw the Evil Phoenix use his divine sense to surge toward the side of the Ritual Cauldron.

He raised a hand, grabbed three incense sticks, ignited them with a swipe, and dropped them into the Ritual Cauldron.

The Evil Phoenix's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Burn!!"
