Chapter 336: Chapter 238: A Bold Man Cuts Off His Own Wrist!_2

"No problem!"

Despite agreeing verbally, the Ghost Taoist’s eyes never strayed from the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva. He had another question for the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, but he did not want to affect the sealing ritual of King Tianran, The World’s Foremost Talented.

Thus, he ultimately kept that question to himself.

"Keep an eye on Puppet Xie Wenren!"

After dealing with the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect believed they would next need to confront Li Ping’an.

But to deal with Li Ping’an, they needed evidence to prove that it was Li Ping’an who had killed the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, and stolen the Immortal Slaying Sword.

And the only one who could prove all this was Puppet Xie Wenren, the very person who had witnessed the entire process!

Therefore, he immediately thought along the same lines as Li Ping’an and swiftly shifted his attention from the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva to Puppet Xie Wenren.

"Yes, Master!"

The Eldest Senior Brother of the Flame Cloud Sect, Jiao Chujun, the second, third, and fourth senior brothers all responded in unison.

"Sect Master Zhuge, do you need our help to capture Xie Wenren?"

Mo Liqi, the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Taishi Bao, the Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, the Head of Yanyue Sect, Shangguan Hongzhang, the Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect, He Zudao of Kunlun’s Three Sages, and Dan Chenzi, the Sixth Senior Brother of Mount Shu, from various Taoist sects, also quietly inquired.

They understood that once the external enemy was eliminated, once they no longer had a common foe, the internal strife would follow.

For instance, dealing with Li Ping’an, it was crucial that Li Ping’an be stopped from entering the final contest and disrupting their plans of dividing the Four Great Noble Paths and the Imperial Court Offering positions!

Similarly, dealing with Taishu Yiqing, the Head of Immeasurable Sect, would mean disqualifying his sect from the competition among the four great paths.

Thus, they needed to aid Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect in capturing Puppet Xie Wenren, ensuring Li Ping’an would not make it to the final round!

"..."

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen pondered for a moment, realizing that his four disciples might not be a match for Puppet Xie Wenren, thus he nodded and agreed:

"Then I must trouble you all!"

...

"Old man, are you finished just like that?"

Puppet Xie Wenren, looking at the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva about to be completely sealed, began to feel inexplicably fearful, understanding the dire consequences he would face without the support of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

He now desperately wanted to escape this place, but with so many eyes on him, external threats from the Night Traveler and internal threats from Li Ping’an, King Tianran, the Ghost Taoist, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect and the Heads of Yanyue, Hehuan, and other esteemed members of the Taoist sects.

It was indeed a net cast from heaven to earth!

He simply couldn’t escape!

Now his only hope for survival was the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva!

"Old fellow, don’t get sealed! Because of you, I’ve offended so many people! I don’t want to die yet; I can’t die now!"

...

In that moment, the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva looked at the Immortal Extermination Sword held in his severed hands and immediately controlled it with his thoughts to chop at his own soul’s arms.

Ah!

With a heart-wrenchingly painful scream, the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva actually controlled the Immortal Extermination Sword and cut off his soul’s arms which had been controlled by the Black Sky Bodhisattva.

"My god! Is the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva mutilating himself?"

"What is he trying to do? Is he going insane by crippling his own arms?"

"His arms had already been sealed by the Black Sky Bodhisattva, but why would he still sever his own arms? This makes no sense at all!"

"Could it be that he has some other plan?"

"What on earth is the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva thinking?"

Faced with this sudden development, the cultivators were utterly baffled, including Li Ping’an, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Xianyu Zixuan of Yanyue Sect, Shangguan Hongzhang of Hehuan Sect, He Zudao of Kunlun’s Three Sages, and Dan Chenzi the Sixth Senior Brother of Mount Shu, from various noble paths, all incredulously said:

"What on earth does the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva want to do?"

"I get it!"

The Ghost Taoist suddenly had a flash of insight, understanding the purpose behind the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva severing his soul’s arms.

"Why would he do that?"

Li Ping’an immediately pressed for answers, but before the Ghost Taoist could explain, the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva smirked with delight:

"This time you’ve won! But next time, I will surely kill you and Li Ping’an!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The entire arena was filled with the wild laughter of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

"Could it be that you..."

The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran suddenly realized something, but it was already too late. He immediately controlled the Black Sky Bodhisattva and reached for the soul of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva once more.

However, Undying Immortal Kumarajiva bit down on the Immortal Extermination Sword, and in the next moment, the Divine Beast Liang Gui fiercely appeared around the body of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

"Goodbye, King Tianran!"

"Goodbye, Li Ping’an!"

"Living for such a long stretch, let’s take our time playing!"

"I will eventually find a way to kill you both, especially you, Li Ping’an! Hahahahaha!"

Then the Divine Beast Liang Gui directly bit through the flesh of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva and swallowed his exposed flesh and blood.

"Hahahahaha!"

The sound of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva’s delighted laughter came from within the Divine Beast Liang Gui.

"Stop!"

The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran immediately tried to grab the Divine Beast Liang Gui, but in the next second, the Divine Beast Liang Gui, along with the body of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, disappeared abruptly from the Moyun Temple competition arena.

Crack! Crack!

All everyone saw was the gluttonous Black Sky Bodhisattva continuously gnawing at the sealed arms of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, who had long since fled.

"After living for hundreds of years, the old devil finally faltered!"

The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran shook his head in resignation, but after a brief moment of dejection, he reinvigorated his spirits:

"But I’ve also sealed the arms of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva. Even if he finds a new body, his arms won’t be able to cast any spells!"

"It’s not entirely without merit."

After the World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes toward the lonely Puppet Xie Wenren.

"Xie Wenren, you wanted to kill Li Ping’an, didn’t you?"

The Ghost Taoist was the first to act, instantly flying behind Puppet Xie Wenren.

"Xie Wenren, if you want to live, you must tell everything that happened that night at the Fallen Dragon Pit truthfully! Or else you die now!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect instantly flew to Puppet Xie Wenren’s left.

"Boy, you dared to leave the Orthodox Path for the evil demons! You must die today!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing flew to Puppet Xie Wenren’s right.

"Don’t you dare wait any longer, surrender now!"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, and Head of Yanyue Sect Xianyu Zixuan, along with Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang of Hehuan Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other luminaries from the Taoist sects also instantly surrounded Puppet Xie Wenren, blocking all his potential escape routes.

"Without Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, let’s see what you can do now?"

Li Ping’an stood on the ground with his arms crossed, appearing very relaxed.

He believed that Puppet Xie Wenren was definitely doomed today!

However, he had to kill Xie Wenren before Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect Xianyu Zixuan, Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang of Hehuan Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu and other luminaries from the Taoist sects could subdue Puppet Xie Wenren.

This was to prevent Puppet Xie Wenren from falsely accusing him in order to save his life, which could trap him in a predicament again!

"Xie Wenren! Reveal the hiding place of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, and you can spare yourself some pain!"

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan also led a group of Night Travelers to encircle Puppet Xie Wenren!

What is an inescapable net?

This is an inescapable net!
