Chapter 131 Cause and Effect, Though Late, It Arrives
Zhai Rong and Jun Ce were slightly relieved when they saw that Jun Ce was no longer coming over.
[With the disappearance of the Heavenly Mantra, talismans can now be used to calculate directions!]
She raised her hand and made a hand seal, and several golden talismans flew out, forming a divination array within the rapidly spinning Gate of Life and Death.
"Li, Gen, Dui, Qian, Zhong, Xun, Zhen, Kun, Kan!"
A crisp sound rang out.
The nine Death Gates instantly merged into one, appearing before Zhai Rongyu along with the Life Gate.
She looked at the two doors in front of her, her eyes slightly cold.
[The odds are stacked against us; now it's all down to luck.]
Upon hearing his thoughts, Jun Ce's jaw tightened, and his eyes filled with panic: "Rong'er!"
There's a 50% chance she'll die!
Just as Jun Ce was in a state of utter distress, a figure suddenly leaped down from the sky.
"My little disciple, your master has come!"
Zhai Rong looked at the newcomer with surprise and delight, "Master!"
[Master really came here too!]
Fortunately, he's alright.
An old Taoist priest in a gray robe landed beside the altar.
His eyes were sunken, and he could not see, but he had a smile on his face as he hung the gourd he was holding back on his waist.
When the Three Pure Ones saw him, they clenched their fingers tightly into their palms.
It's him……
It turns out that the master of this formation and this otherworldly soul are master and disciple!
He glared at Zhai Rongyu with a sinister look, his eyes blazing with jealousy.
That blind old Taoist priest will surely be able to break the formation.
No, he absolutely cannot let this otherworldly soul leave alive!
The Three Pure Ones changed their minds and suddenly stood up and rushed towards Zhai Rongyu, reaching out to push her towards one of the doors!
Jun Ce's pupils suddenly contracted, and he channeled his inner strength into his palm, slashing fiercely at the Three Pure Ones!
"puff--"
Before the Three Pure Ones could even touch Zhai Rongyu, they were struck by lightning and sent flying, landing on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He looked down at his abdomen, where there was a large, dark hole from which blood was seeping out, and the wound was charred black.
The streaks of lightning coursed through my body, causing intense pain.
"what!!!"
The Three Pure Ones let out a scream and fainted.
Jun Yinghuai's face suddenly darkened.
His chest heaved violently.
Failed again...
He looked at Zhai Rongyu with a sinister hatred in his eyes.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he quietly left the scene.
Jun Ce had just obtained the power of lightning, and his aura was already unstable. Now he felt an overwhelming surge of violence within his body, and his meridians were somewhat disordered.
He forced himself to endure the discomfort.
The blind old Taoist priest smelled the scent emanating from Jun Ce and thoughtfully rested his chin on his hand.
He turned towards the battleground of life and death.
Although invisible, it seemed to know everything about the formation.
Zhai Rongyu pouted and puffed out her cheeks with a hint of resentment: "Master, aren't you going to save me!"
The blind old Taoist priest gave her a sharp rap on the head from a distance.
"If you had focused on the lesson, how could you have been trapped by this gate of life and death?"
Zhai Rongyu covered her head and exclaimed, "You're still so energetic..."
The blind old Taoist priest grumbled and cursed.
"I'll deal with you properly when we get out!"
"Alright, I'll lend you a hand right away!"
He made a hand seal and chanted incantations. Golden runes materialized from the void and fell into the life-and-death formation.
The two doors instantly merged into one.
Zhai Rong walked out of the birth gate and landed right next to the altar, almost falling over.
Jun Ce instinctively grabbed her arm.
Zhai Rongyu quickly glanced at him, then her gaze drifted to the blind old Taoist priest. Both of them immediately let go of each other's hands and took half a step back.
The blind old Taoist priest continued chanting his incantations.
The golden runes continued to weave, and the gate of life within the formation instantly vanished.
He suddenly fell silent.
The entire formation, along with the Three Pure Ones, was reduced to fragments.
He raised his hand and waved it, and everything vanished.
Zhai Rongyu suddenly felt his mental strength recover to 70%, and looked at the blind old Taoist priest with some surprise: "Master?"
The blind old Taoist priest shook his sleeves.
“Ah Yu, this Sanqing Zhenren is wicked. He stole karma that did not belong to him and has committed many sins.”
"To die in the battle against you is to say that you have rid the people of a scourge."
"This merit will naturally fall upon you."
Zhai Rongyu laughed out loud with some surprise.
Then, his smile faded, and he asked, "Master, did you just annihilate him?"
The blind old Taoist priest nodded.
"In the battle of life and death, if the soul is scattered, there will be no next life."
Zhai Rong understood.
The law of cause and effect, though late, will eventually arrive.
"Where is Zhai Rongyu!" a female voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw Jun Yinghuai walking over, supporting the Empress Dowager, with Qin Yan following behind.
The Empress Dowager looked anxiously toward the altar.
Where is anyone else?
His phoenix eyes suddenly sharpened.
She looked at Zhai Rongyu with anger: "Where are the Three Pure Ones?"
"You killed him?!"
Zhai Rongyu glanced at the blind old Taoist priest, and seeing his master approaching Jun Ce with a look of inquiry on his face, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
[My master remains the same as always.]
[I want to avoid these worldly affairs like the plague...]
She twirled the ribbon at her waist and said to the Empress Dowager, "The Three Pure Ones absorbed the demon's core and reaped what they sowed; they have already died in the formation."
The Empress Dowager was furious and pointed at her with her long, red nail polish.
"You have ruined the emperor's chances of survival, I will never forgive you!"
"Here comes someone!"
"Take Zhai Rongyu away and execute him immediately!"
A group of guards stepped forward with weapons.
Jun Ce immediately stepped in front of Zhai Rongyu, his dark eyes surging with anger.
"Rong'er is my brother's savior!"
"I'd like to see who dares to touch her!"
The guards immediately stepped back, glancing hesitantly at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's face turned pale, and her eyes widened in anger.
"Look at you! You've been completely bewitched by this vixen!"
"How dare the dignified Regent utter such words to deceive me!"
"Does she really think I'm senile?!"
Qin Yan stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager and said to Jun Ce, "Brother Ce, how long are you going to keep being deceived by this woman?"
"You say she's the Emperor's savior, but the Emperor is clearly lying on his bed right now..."
She bit her lip and glared at Zhai Rongyu with a hint of malice.
"This witch must have used some kind of sorcery to bewitch you, Brother Ce! Open your eyes and see clearly! She's not worth your protection at all!"
Jun Ce's eyes were icy cold as he struck out with a palm at Qin Yan's feet.
Lightning crackled up her skirt, and she screamed as she quickly extinguished the sparks.
The Empress Dowager was also startled.
"If you dare to disrespect Rong'er again, I will take your life!" Jun Ce's icy voice was full of oppression.
Qin Yan turned pale with fright and dared not utter another word.
She cowered and hid behind the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager, having regained her senses, looked at Jun Ce and said, "Look at you! What have you become since you've been with this vixen!"
"Do you even want to kill me, my dear wife?!"
Her face turned ashen, and she suddenly questioned, "You allowed this woman to plot against the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Did you conspire with her all along to seize the throne?"
A chilling light flashed in Jun Ce's deep eyes.
Just as he was about to lash out, he heard a eunuch shout:
"The Emperor has arrived——"
