Chapter 36 The Madman of the Purple Mansion
The purple-robed Taoist's face instantly turned extremely ugly when his path was cut off by Xuan Yao's swift and decisive sword strike.
He hovered in mid-air, his long, narrow, sinister eyes scanning Xuan Yao, who stood with his hands behind his back in front of the formation.
Clearly, he never expected that such a powerful Golden Immortal, with a profound and unfathomable aura, would be lurking in the outer reaches of the inner mountains of Xikunlun, hundreds of thousands of miles away!
But he was only stunned for a moment.
The fear in the purple-robed Taoist's eyes quickly faded.
"So what if you're also at the Golden Immortal realm?"
The purple-robed Taoist sneered inwardly.
He is a disciple of the Golden Immortal Sect under the Eastern King Duke, the head of all male immortals in the Purple Mansion Continent of the East Sea!
In this vast and desolate world, apart from those high-ranking innate saints, who would dare not give Zifu Continent some face?
Moreover, in his view...
The Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun was also appointed by the Dao Ancestor.
However, he was easygoing by nature and only knew how to cultivate himself in seclusion.
He only commands a group of female immortals who are not worth much.
In terms of both prestige and foundation, it is simply incomparable to the currently flourishing Purple Mansion Continent Immortal Court!
Thinking of this, the purple-robed Taoist's previously tense nerves completely relaxed.
He gave Xuan Yao a perfunctory bow, and with a forced smile, introduced himself:
"My Daoist name is Huang Feng. I am a cultivator under the tutelage of the Eastern King, the Wood Duke, in the Purple Mansion Continent of the East Sea!"
"This time, I am acting on the orders of the Celestial Court to track down and capture this audacious beast that stole the treasures of my Purple Mansion Continent."
In a moment of urgency, I chased after you to your treasure mountain; I had no intention of offending you.
Although Huang Feng Daoist repeatedly addressed Xuan Yao as fellow Daoist.
However, his demeanor lacked the politeness one would expect when facing a Golden Immortal of the same level.
Instead, it subtly carried an arrogant tone, as if to say, "I am an official of Zifuzhou, all irrelevant people should quickly leave, and others should not interfere."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yao immediately understood the situation, as if his mind were crystal clear.
"So they were cultivators from Zifu Continent who had chased us all the way from the East Sea!"
Xuan Yao sneered inwardly.
As a time traveler, he knew all too well the character of the Eastern King.
Although the current Dongwanggong has not yet been able to truly establish the so-called Celestial Court and rule over the entire prehistoric world.
However, Zifu Continent, even when outside, has already adopted the vassal status of the Primordial Sovereign.
The cultivators under his tutelage were even more arrogant and abusive.
When traveling through the primordial world, he often used the name of the Eastern King Duke to run rampant and tyrannical, seizing and plundering, leaving many rogue cultivators with no background daring not to speak out against him.
If this trivial matter had occurred in some other remote and desolate place in the prehistoric world...
Xuan Yao might not actually be willing to offend such a behemoth as Zi Fu Zhou for the sake of a swan of unknown origin.
After all, the most taboo thing in cultivating virtue and merit is to needlessly provoke those deeply entangled karmic consequences.
But the situation is completely different now.
The opponent relentlessly pursued and attacked, forcing the swan to the entrance of their Qingheishan Dojo.
Even that gust of yellow sand just now almost shattered the mountain-protecting formation and broke into his own dojo!
Furthermore, the words of this Yellow Wind Taoist were full of an extremely irritating arrogance.
It was as if he, a dignified and immortal Golden Immortal, was nothing more than a dispensable object in the eyes of this disciple of Zifu Continent!
"This is blatantly trampling on my doorstep..."
A hint of coldness gradually crept into Xuan Yao's dark golden tiger eyes.
This place is within the territory of Xikunlun.
The other party is merely an ordinary cultivator from Zifu Continent, yet they dare to be so presumptuous and arrogant in the Daoist temple of the head of the female immortals.
If I were truly intimidated by his few words today.
He had completely disgraced himself as a direct disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, and even the entire Xikunlun sect.
If this gets back to Master's ears, it might not be a good thing, and he might even look down on me.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yao's tall and straight body remained standing in front of the formation as firm as a deep pool and a towering mountain.
His gaze swept indifferently over the swan perched on the stone steps.
Then, he slowly raised his head and spoke in a cold voice:
"She stole a priceless treasure from your Purple Mansion Continent. That's the cause and effect between you two, and you have your own way of explaining it."
"But you relentlessly pursued me, even attempting to bombard my sacred ground's protective array with that filthy yellow sandstorm, and you even tried to force your way into my mountain gate..."
Xuan Yao's tone suddenly became more serious, carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"It was you who first broke the rules among fellow cultivators in this primordial world."
Upon hearing Xuan Yao's blunt and forceful words, Huang Feng Daoist's gaze immediately turned extremely sinister and cold.
He was clearly used to running rampant in the East Sea and the prehistoric continent, relying on his noble status as a member of the Eastern King's faction.
Wherever he went, those rogue cultivators and even demon kings all treated him with utmost respect and deference.
"What a reckless Taoist priest!"
Huang Feng Daoist was too lazy to pretend to be a respectable member of a prestigious sect anymore.
A sinister smile appeared on his thin face, and he shook the yellow sand-covered fan in his hand.
"call--!"
In an instant, a swirling, extremely yellow and turbid poisonous sandstorm suddenly rose up, blotting out the sun and turning the sky above Xuan Yao's head into an extremely oppressive, deathly yellow!
Huang Feng Daoist pointed down at Xuan Yao and shouted angrily:
"Who do you think you are, daring to oppose my Purple Mansion Continent?!"
"I urge you to get out of here immediately and hand over that demonic bird!"
"Otherwise, if you anger me, I will surely turn your Taoist temple into a barren wasteland, and teach you, this arrogant Taoist, a lesson!"
This extremely arrogant and threatening statement was uttered.
There was no room for maneuver between the two sides.
However, faced with such an extremely arrogant clamor, Xuan Yao felt not the slightest bit flustered, but instead became completely calm.
Within his mind, the extremely pure flow of virtuous energy circulated more and more smoothly.
Because Xuan Yao knew this very well.
If the other party is only hunting down this swan because of personal grudges, I would have to consider the weight of the karmic entanglements if I forcibly intervened.
But now that things have developed to this point...
The other party was extremely foolish to bring up the banners of Zifuzhou and Dongwanggong as leverage to intimidate others.
Furthermore, he arrogantly and openly made such threatening remarks about destroying the temple of the Queen Mother of the West in this very place of Xikunlun!
Taking action against him would be considered to have a righteous cause.
Even if we beat this Yellow Wind Taoist to the point of annihilation today.
The Eastern King Duke would never come to the Western Queen Mother's dojo to demand an explanation for a mere Golden Immortal disciple!
"Since you're so eager to die, then you can't blame me!"
Thinking of this, Xuan Yao decided not to waste another word on such a madman.
"Zheng—!!!"
The mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Flying Gold Sword, which was suspended in mid-air, emitted an extremely high-pitched and passionate long cry!
An extremely terrifying Golden Immortal aura suddenly erupted from Xuan Yao's tall and imposing body.
The milky white aura of virtue and the black-gold natal aura around him intertwined in an extremely mysterious way, slowly rising and transforming into an extremely terrifying black tiger phantom, roaring to the sky behind him!
