Chapter 288: Chapter 214 Master, Save Me!_2

...

As lives were about to be taken, the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He, naturally would not stand by idly. To prevent a bloodshed, he immediately stood up and addressed the furiously angry Qingyun Sect Cultivator Li Ping’an:

"Li Ping’an! This is the Imperial Taoist Temple, you cannot kill people here!"

Li Ping’an, glaring at Nangong Zhidao, a Zhengyi Temple Cultivator, who was struggling and covered in blood, angrily retorted:

"That depends on whether he can withstand my spell! If he can’t, he only has himself to blame for his lack of skill!"

"This young beast clearly wants to kill!"

After muttering softly, Observatory Master Immortal Fei He then turned to the struggling Zhengyi Temple Cultivator, Nangong Zhidao:

"Nangong Zhidao, are you willing to admit defeat now?"

"Hahahaha!"

Armed with the support of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, even in this deadly situation, Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao boasted confidently:

"How could I possibly admit defeat? I must kill Li Ping’an today!"

"Mad! You’re both completely mad!"

The anxiously torn Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He, turned to Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan and Wang Tianran, pleading:

"Both of you were invited here, one to preside over this meeting and the other as an impartial judge, and now people are about to die. Can you please intervene?"

"What’s it to me!"

Wang Tianran lazily replied:

"I’m not the Observatory Master of Moyun; I came here for some fun. I’ve had my fill of entertainment, the rest is none of my business."

"No one’s died yet, right?"

Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan laughed and said calmly:

"Immortal Fei He, don’t rush; we will of course handle it if someone dies."

"By the time you handle it, I will already be facing punishment from the Imperial Court!"

After voicing his exasperation, Observatory Master Immortal Fei He again looked at the leaders of the Four Great Noble Flame Cloud Sect, Heavenly Mist Sect, Immeasurable Sect, and Senior Brother Tai Shibao of the Qingyun Sect:

"Sect Leaders, these young disciples are behaving recklessly. Are you going to just sit back and watch as well? It won’t look good for any of us if someone dies!"

"Immortal Fei He, rest assured, if anyone dares to kill, we will intervene immediately!"

"No one has died yet, and they haven’t finished fighting."

"Exactly, exactly, Li Ping’an may be strong, but this Nangong Zhidao isn’t weak either. He hasn’t surrendered, so why worry unnecessarily? Just watch the contest in peace."

"We will certainly not ignore the situation, but it hasn’t escalated to that level yet!"

After briefly replying, the leaders of the Four Great Noble Flame Cloud Sect, Heavenly Mist Sect, Immeasurable Sect, and Senior Brother Tai Shibao of Qingyun Sect continued to watch the tense contest.

"It’s over, it’s over, this time Li Ping’an might really kill someone!"

Seeing that no one was helping and being incapable of Taoist Magic himself, the frustrated Observatory Master of Moyun Temple could only helplessly sit back down, hoping that Qingyun Sect Cultivator Li Ping’an wouldn’t end up killing Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao. If blood was spilled and a life was lost at the Imperial Taoist Temple, he would be in deep trouble.

...

"I underestimated you, you’re actually able to endure the pressure of these two mountainous manas! Remarkable! Remarkable indeed!"

Li Ping’an knew that even The Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, wouldn’t dare to withstand the power of these two Mountain of Magical Power, let alone this sinister Zhengyi Temple Cultivator, Nangong Zhidao.

But the reality was right in front of his eyes; this sinister Zhengyi Temple Cultivator, Nangong Zhidao, was clearly more formidable than the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, or otherwise he would have been crushed to death already.

"Li Ping’an! Try to kill me if you can! Kill me quickly!"

To demonstrate Li Ping’an’s power, Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao risked everything, even boldly challenging him.

"It’s clear you have powerful backing, or else you wouldn’t be so fearless in facing death!"

The clever Li Ping’an also discerned the hidden meaning in Nangong Zhidao’s words, but Li Ping’an was not afraid; he now wanted to kill the despicable, shameless, and wicked Nangong Zhidao, since he dared to threaten him with Zixia.

"Then I shall grant you that! Another peak it is!"

Li Ping’an formed the Tiangang Five Peaks Seal once more, manifesting an even larger and taller mountain descending from the sky. This time, the mountain’s power was greater, showing that Li Ping’an had hardened his resolve.

"It’s over! Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao is doomed!"

"It seems Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong is about to be crushed to death by Li Ping’an!"

"I used to say that Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was sinister, but now I think he’s a real man, preferring death over surrender. That’s gutsy!"

"But then again, what is Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao really after? Isn’t living better than anything else? I just don’t understand!"

"Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, you better surrender soon! Otherwise, you’ll really die!"

"Exactly, exactly. ’Where there is life, there is hope.’ Living is what’s most important!"

"Orthodox Zhengyi Temple’s Nangong Zhidao! Surrender quickly, it’s not too late!"

As the cultivators discussed, they watched as the mountain of mana fell from the sky destined to crush the mountain held by Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, urgently advising him to surrender.

However, when they had seen Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao trying to kill Li Ping’an earlier, they didn’t display this attitude. Perhaps they were jealous of Li Ping’an’s formidable strength or it could be that Li Ping’an reached this point with the help of women and friends. Compared to Li Ping’an, they were more impressed by Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao who got this far solely based on his strength.

Of course, the one urging Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao to surrender most vehemently was none other than the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He.

...

"Master, you won’t just stand by and watch, will you?"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao already felt the endless murderous intent. He knew that with his current strength, despite possessing the power of the Curse Seal of the Earth, facing Li Ping’an’s Tiangang Five Peaks Seal, all he could do was wait to die. His only hope for survival was begging his master, the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

"Of course not!"

A faint smile appeared on the face of Kumarajiva from his left shoulder:

"How could I bear to see you killed by Li Ping’an? If it were just an ordinary spell, Li Ping’an surely wouldn’t be able to hurt you, but the spell he used is the most orthodox Immortal Law of the Taoist sect. Even with the Curse Seal of the Earth, you would struggle to defend against it."

"Master... nguh!"

The gravely struggling Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before nearly pleading:

"Master... enough talking... please save your disciple now! Your disciple is about to die!"

From his left shoulder, Kumarajiva replied indifferently:

"Puppet, there’s no way I can intervene in front of so many people!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao completely panicked. He wished he hadn’t acted so arrogantly earlier, but it was too late for regrets now as the mountain was about to smash down on him, and he desperately pleaded:

"Master, save your disciple, please!"

"Hahahaha!"

Laughing, Kumarajiva on the left shoulder spoke unhurriedly:

"Puppet, why panic? My not intervening doesn’t mean I won’t save you,"

Extending a slender arm, Kumarajiva formed another seal at the spot of the Curse Seal of the Earth on Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, then gently pressed it:

"Good Turtle! Come forth!"

Suddenly, Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s left shoulder bulged, continuously swelling until it was as big as a human head, extremely conspicuous, clearly visible to all present.

"Huh? What is that?"

"What’s happening to Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s body?"

"It seems like something is growing and slowly crawling on him..."

"Could he be from Immeasurable Sect? Does he have the ability to summon spirit beasts?"

"No way! What exactly is that thing crawling on him?"

Under the scrutiny of the cultivators, they saw a bizarre turtle the size of a head emerge from the neck area of Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.
