"To hell with you, you three damn mutts!"
Master Ping trembled with rage, his teeth nearly crushed from clenching them so hard. He roared and lunged at the three Saint Masters.
Lao Ba, Black Fatty, Luo Ying, Lin Shanshan, and the others followed close behind, all bristling with murderous intent.
However, Wei Qingkuang suddenly stepped out to stop them.
Luo Qianye glared at Wei Qingkuang and said coldly, "Wei Qingkuang, what is the aning of this?"
Dou Dou pointed her black umbrella at her and shouted, "Bad woman, you're in cahoots with them! Dou Dou will show you the power of the Lightning Five Continuous Whips!"
Wei Qingkuang hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to protect them."
"Right now, Heavenly Brother is imprisoned in the Sanctum of Tri-Clearance. If we harm any one of those three, the Sanctum will collapse, and Heavenly Brother, who is trapped inside, will also..."
Luo Xian's eyebrows knitted slightly. She glanced at the crowd and said, "What she says is true. The Sanctum of Tri-Clearance is a legendary spatial Divine Skill that only the three of them, working together, can manifest. It can imprison and suppress any living being."
"And once this small world is deployed, only the three Saint Masters themselves can close it."
Zihong Shengzhu smiled. "As expected of Princess Chang. You are truly well-inford."
Lin Shanshan asked, "What exactly do you want?"
The White Rainbow Saint Master replied with a smile, "Naturally, to offer him to His Majesty, Emperor Hao."
Wei Qingkuang looked at the three of them and said coldly, "If the Azure Emperor hadn't saved you, you would have been dead long ago!"
"You're ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity. With actions like these, how can your Dao Heart be at peace?!"
Hearing this, the three Saint Masters fell silent, unable to refute her words.
Zihong Shengzhu snorted. "Let's not conflate the two issues. He saved our lives, and we are grateful for it. But how can one's personal life and death compare to the orthodox path of Heaven? In the face of the greater good, we can only forsake lesser loyalties!"
Saint Lord Red Rainbow looked impatient and urged, "Enough talk. We have important matters to attend to!"
Under the resentful glares of the crowd, the three Saint Masters separated and sat cross-legged in a triangular formation, acting as if no one else was there.
A tri-colored spiritual light instantly ford a Barrier, enveloping the three of them.
The Heaven-Supporting Venerable squinted. After observing for a mont, he said, "I'm afraid not even I could break through this Barrier."
Zhang Yi clenched his fists and said hatefully, "Are we just going to stand here and do nothing?"
Master Ping suddenly laughed. "Although we can't rescue Luo Xiu, we can figure out a way to get in there and find him."
「At this mont, outside the Green Lotus Palace.」
Wuxing Chuan sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, his hands forming a mysterious Daoist seal. "Kui Bao," he said with great effort, "you don't need to stand guard for . I need so ti to summon the Five Elents Heavenly Seal. You and Senior Yang should focus on gathering our forces."
Kui Bao, standing beside him, patted his chest. "Don't worry, leave it to us."
Then he added, "But, Five Elents Brother, do you really need to push yourself this hard?"
Wuxing Chuan's expression turned grim as he slowly said, "Only the Five Elents Heavenly Seal can give the strength to fight the Azure Emperor. You know I need a victory like that to prove myself."
Hearing this, Kui Bao gave Wuxing Chuan a deep look and nodded gently. He couldn't help but think of Wuxing Chuan's older brother. He knew that even though Wuxing Chuan was a once-in-a-millennium Daoist prodigy, he had always lived in that man's shadow. Whenever people ntioned Wuxing Chuan, they always rembered that he was that man's younger brother.
「anwhile, inside the Sanctum of Tri-Clearance.」
Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes, only to be assaulted by an excruciating pain that wracked his entire body. It felt as if his bones were shattered. He couldn't move a muscle or even muster a shred of strength.
As his consciousness returned, he found himself kneeling on a circular platform. From the void surrounding the platform, nurous tri-colored chains extended, coiling tightly around his limbs.
At that mont, he was like a condemned criminal brought to the execution ground.
Three enormous Law Manifestation phantoms floated above his head, gazing down at him like gods.
Those three phantoms were none other than Zihong Shengzhu, the White Rainbow Saint Master, and Saint Lord Red Rainbow!
The voice of Zihong Shengzhu suddenly echoed through the void. "Within the Sanctum of Tri-Clearance, everything about you is under our control—including your thoughts and your mories."
Luo Xiu managed a faint smile, his voice weak. "You've really put a lot of thought into this."
Saint Lord Red Rainbow spoke in an eerie tone, "We have the Azure Emperor to thank for this opportunity. Otherwise, we would have had no way of pulling Your Majesty into the Sanctum of Tri-Clearance."
"And now that you are inside, it no longer matters who you are. No matter who you might be, in here, you are rely a prisoner!"
The White Rainbow Saint Master grew impatient. "Enough nonsense, let's begin. First, we'll strip his soul and copy his Daoist Divine Abilities. Then, we'll seize his Power of Laws!"
Luo Xiu looked up at the three Law Manifestation phantoms. "So that's your plan."
Saint Lord Red Rainbow said, "The Azure Emperor's collection of Unique Arts is a divine treasury in itself. Every single art is an earth-shattering technique. It is only natural that we mortals would covet them."
Luo Xiu chuckled mockingly. "You seem to be forgetting that I saved your damn lives."
Saint Lord Red Rainbow replied, "We will never forget the grace of you saving our lives, but we can only repay it in the next one."
Luo Xiu's gaze turned icy as he stared at the three phantoms. "If I ever get out of here, I will wash the Tri-Rainbow State in blood."
"I'm afraid you won't get that chance," Zihong Shengzhu snorted. "To prevent any unforeseen accidents, we will first cripple Your Majesty's heaven-defying Cultivation."
"The thods may be a bit brutal. We ask for Your Majesty's understanding."
As his words fell, a tri-colored chain shot out from the void and, like a vicious viper, pierced directly into Luo Xiu's abdon.
"AHHH—!"
The indescribable pain tore a blood-curdling scream from Luo Xiu's lips.
