The Unruly Immortals

"Hehehe, how can there be none? There's no mahjong from Da Liang, but there's mahjong from Da Qi."

Just as the illusion Hong Zhong finished speaking, an old woman rolled out in front of Zhuge Yuan.

Li Huowang remembered her appearance, she was Bei Feng, whom Zhuge Yuan had captured and sent into Da Qi!

Upon standing up, Bei Feng's expression was very confused, but as soon as she took in her surroundings, her eyes quickly sharpened.

Suddenly, her face quickly twisted, the wrinkles rapidly receding, and it first changed into a Bei Feng mahjong tile, then the edges of the tile abruptly folded inward.

It transformed from a rectangle into a cube, the flesh on the face quickly coalesced, ultimately forming a six-sided die.

The die, with its blood-red one dot, looked up at the Emperor of Da Liang in the tree with a tone of smugness, "Did you really predict every move? Then did you guess that through Heart Pan, I pulled over Da Qi's Oblivion Path?"

"Hehe, one table of mahjong, you can handle, but what about two tables of mahjong?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang's pupils instantly shrank to their smallest, realizing that Bei Feng had other Oblivion Paths, whether it was finding Zhuge Yuan or intentionally losing to Zhuge Yuan, they had pretended it all!

Their only goal was actually to make Zhuge Yuan turn them into people of Da Qi, then enter Da Qi, and connect with the Oblivion Path there!

This made it clear that Da Qi was not just a figment of Heart Pan's imagination; Da Qi truly existed!

While Li Huowang was thinking this, the black and white vertical pupil in the sky suddenly changed dramatically, the pupil instantly becoming three and the divinatory symbols of the surrounding sixty-four hexagrams spinning rapidly.

Facing the support from outside from the Oblivion Path, the other side clearly did not want to sit and wait for death and immediately started to move,

The strange chanting sounds near his ear suddenly became much louder, and the single sound began to split into several terrifying roars and whispers.

Li Huowang's head started to throb, veins bursting forth from his forehead, and his features felt as if they were melting.

That wasn't any chanting at all, but some kind of sound incomprehensible to mortals, that listening to it just once could make anyone's Ten Emotions and Eight Miseries show signs of coming undone.

Bai Lingmiao had only been affected by the Evil Qi in her Ten Emotions and Eight Miseries, and her personality underwent such a tremendous change, it was hard to imagine what would happen to a person if their Ten Emotions and Eight Miseries truly became scattered and fragmented.

With a great battle about to start, Li Huowang became extremely anxious, enduring severe pain as he struggled to search for that Xinsu Bei Feng.

But, what was even more fatal was that with the entrance of Da Qi's Oblivion Path, the number of Bei Fengs suddenly increased to eight! Now, to seek out that Xinsu Bei Feng had become even more troublesome.

With a "boom," those Oblivion Paths all started to sit cross-legged around the giant gold tree, beginning to chant.

The four dice, perfectly occupying the four directions of east, south, west, and north, now had the numbers four, two, five, and one on their faces respectively.

"Heart Zhai Oblivion, the most extreme path! Those who preserve true nature, nourish through Oblivion; those who preserve, nourish physically. Physical nourishment leads to Corporeal Immortal; Oblivion Nourishment forsakes form to enter the truth..."

The odd voice of Oblivion Path instantly dispersed the strange chanting sounds in the sky, and the two types of sounds began to interweave overhead. Under the influence of these sounds, everything around began to appear illusionary, whether it was the people or the gold that was twisting continuously.

With just a thought from Li Huowang, the golden bricks on the ground surged up and coalesced into a golden statue of Yang Na smiling with her head tilted to the side.

"No, I can't worry about what they are going to do next! It will definitely become more and more dangerous! I must find that Xinsu Bei Feng as quickly as possible and take her away from here!"

Li Huowang's mind raced, and quickly he thought of a method. He immediately pulled out a dagger, tore open his clothes, cut his shoulder to reveal his collarbone, and then began to take out ginger yellow paper to draw Divinatory Symbols.

Although the divination ability was of no use in finding those with profound cultivation, and could even lead others to one's location, who said it couldn't be used in reverse!

As Li Huowang's yellow talisman plunged into his own bloodied and muddled collarbone, he saw one of the eight Bei Fengs in the distance suddenly lift her head and look straight at him.

"Found her! It's her!!"

Hidden, Li Huowang moved on the twisted gold bricks, approaching the Xinsu Bei Feng like walking on water.

Li Huowang's approach went unnoticed by the bigwigs, something he had guessed since neither the Astrological Bureau nor the Oblivion Path had the capacity to intervene.

Faced with the actions of the Oblivion Path, the chief of the Astrological Bureau and the Da Liang National Master naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

Li Huowang saw that as the white-haired Da Liang National Master waved the star-patterned longsword, the entire Taoist Robe moved as if by its own will, and stars appeared to speckle the heavily overcast clouds.

Then another figure, shrouded in a big red robe, stepped forward, followed by three others who—if he was not mistaken—were the lesser monitors of the Astronomical Bureau, and the one in red was the chief of the Da Liang Astrological Bureau itself.

Six unnaturally long fingers extended from the wide sleeves of the Taoist Robe in three layers—upper, middle, and lower, with the upper performing hand signs, the middle Drawing Talismans, and the lower forming seals.

From within the Taoist Robe, three different, oddly melodious chants echoed in succession.

"A day a world unfolds, among realms the White Lotus blooms, this lotus not of Buddha's seed, nor of beauty mundane, upon phoenix wings its petals glean, at a touch they turn to ancient smoke, lightness of form unknown, atop lotus leaves is thrown..."

As this chant rose, the voice of the Oblivion Path gradually faded, the constantly twisting gold bricks came to a halt, and the strange chant took over, with the giant eye in the sky lowering a fraction.

Under the gaze of that giant eye, bodies on the edges of the Oblivion Path began to collapse, first blooming like lotus flowers, then orderly flesh returned to chaos.

Just when Li Huowang thought they would continue their magical combat, suddenly, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the massive tree's root system unexpectedly collapsed.

The disciples of the Oblivion Path, who should have been in meditation, stood up with glee, racing towards the canopy.

With the rumble, streaks of silver light appeared within the snow-filled clouds, followed by the sound of something tearing as a bolt of dark thunder struck, instantly throwing the entire battlefield into chaos.

"Perfect opportunity!" Without any hesitation, Li Huowang picked up his pace and charged towards the Xinsu Bei Feng.

This time both sides were serious. The world's natural order changed abruptly, shifting between dusk and high noon. With the chanting from the sky, Li Huowang, after spending some time in this place, even felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.

Li Huowang couldn't tell which side had the advantage; he simply couldn't make a judgment.

But no matter what was happening around him, nothing could shake his resolve. Li Huowang never took his eyes off the Xinsu Bei Feng.

He saw the Xinsu Bei Feng, gritting her teeth, staring hatefully at the Emperor of Da Liang guarded by the three lesser monitors of the Heavenly Observatory, seemingly plotting something.

But the next moment, she painfully covered her face and knelt on one knee as a dark golden fluid incessantly seeped from her eyes.

Just as a bolt of dark thunder descended from the sky towards her, a right hand missing two fingers grabbed her arm and yanked her violently.

"What's wrong! Are you alright! You're hurt!" Li Huowang said, pulling the Bei Feng and hastily retreating from the battlefield.
