Chapter 25: The Great Immortal Arrives to Rescue

  Yun Zhongzi was enraged, these two were indeed determined to kill Hongyun, he had already come to rescue Hongyun, and Zhen Yuanshi would definitely arrive soon. Moreover, Hongyun still had the protection of the 12th-grade Destroying World Black Lotus, making it even more difficult for them to kill him. However, Kunpeng and Minghe insisted on taking action and attacked Hongyun.

  At the same time, Yun Zhongzi's heart was also a chill. He himself was only in the middle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal now, and although his Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus defense was one of the top two in the world, his cultivation couldn't withstand the attacks of Kunpeng and Minghe, these two quasi-saints. It must be that Kunpeng and Minghe had also seen this point, which is why they had made their move.

  As expected, when Kunpeng and Minghe's attack landed on the Twelfth-Rank Destructive Black Lotus, Yun Zhongzi's heart was drawn in, his body's yuanqi stagnated, his whole body shook violently, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His face turned pale and haggard.

  Looking at the red cloud again, the air mask on the lotus platform almost broke through in a flash of madness, but it finally held up, which also shows the strong defensive ability of the lotus platform.

  Hongyun felt a sense of relief, but seeing Yun Zhongzi injured while saving him from afar, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

  Hongyun was originally a kind-hearted person, seeing this naturally wanted to return the Twelve Products Lotus Platform to Yunzhongzi. He shouted, "Yunzhongzi fellow Taoist, take back the lotus platform! This poor Taoist is fortunate to have met you and Zhenyuanzi in this life, absolutely cannot implicate fellow Taoists for my sake."

  Yun Zhongzi forced a smile and said, "Hong Yun Daoyou doesn't have to be like this, you just need to rest assured, I've already sent a message to Zhen Yuanzi Daoyou, he'll arrive soon, Daoyou only needs to hold on for a moment."

  Yun Zhongzi said this naturally had his own thoughts, he hoped that Kunpeng and Minghe would abandon Hongyun and retreat under the circumstances of Guzhenyuanzi.

  Obviously, Yun Zhongzi's abacus was wrong. Kunpeng and Minghe were shocked by the words, but they became even more frantic in their attack on the twelve-product lotus platform that protected Hongyun, wanting to kill Hongyun before Zhenyuanzi arrived.

  Yun Zhongzi saw this and secretly scolded Kunpeng for being an idiot. In an instant, he took out the Gun of Divine Assassination and launched a sneak attack on Minghe's back. Yun Zhongzi chose to attack Minghe, also calculating in his heart that Minghe had the Yuan Tu and An Bi two swords, with extremely strong attacking power. However, Kunpeng didn't have any particularly powerful magical artifacts in hand. As long as he could hold down Minghe, as for Kunpeng, it was absolutely impossible for him to break through the defenses of the 12th-grade Destroying World Lotus Platform.

  Minghe suddenly turned around, Yuan Tu, Anbi directly attacked Yun Zhongzi, one gun and two swords collided together, a destructive force surged in all directions, nearby mountain peaks were broken, collapsed, and devastated.

  Both of them had their arms numb at the same time, but Minghe recovered instantly, while Yun Zhongzi was unable to use his hands due to having used the Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus Rite on Hongyun. As a result, Yun Zhongzi no longer had any other defensive treasures and could only dodge Minghe's attacks while moving towards Hongyun's direction.

  Kunpeng saw that Minghe was being held back by Yun Zhongzi, so he went crazy and continuously attacked the twelve-product lotus platform, causing the lotus platform to shake violently. At the same time, the primordial energy in Yun Zhongzi's body was also constantly being consumed, making it more difficult for him to dodge Minghe.

  As time passed, Yun Zhongzi's face had already turned pale and bloodless. As for Hongyun, thanks to the protection of the lotus platform, he was not hit by Kunpeng. Not only that, but also inside the lotus platform, he recovered a lot of his strength. Seeing Yun Zhongzi's appearance, he spoke out, "Yun Zhongzi, my fellow Taoist, please withdraw the lotus platform. I have now recovered some of my magical powers and can hold back Kunpeng without any problem."

  Yun Zhongzi smiled wryly, didn't say much, and instantly withdrew the Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus. At the same time, he took out a few pellets of medicinal pills and swallowed them. These medicinal pills were some of the best ones that he had obtained from Laozi at the Jade Void Palace back then.

  Of course, Laozi had also taught Yun Zhongzi some alchemy techniques in the past, but after all, Yun Zhongzi was not his direct disciple. The alchemy techniques he taught were mostly about refining low-grade elixirs, so Yun Zhongzi eventually stopped learning from Laozi and went into seclusion to cultivate his own skills.

  Thanks to the protection of Lian Tai, Yun Zhongzi found it easier to hold back Ming He, and the elixir dissolved in his mouth, quickly restoring his vitality. Soon, Yun Zhongzi's face was flushed with red light, holding the Gun of Divine Punishment, unleashing his divine power, and fighting against Ming He together.

  However, it was soon suppressed again. The underworld attacked the Yuantu, Abi, and the twelve-story lotus platform, while the repair was two levels higher than the cloud middle child, so the defeat was expected.

  Minghe had reservations, but now in the vast and powerful Hongyuan, who didn't know that Yun Zhongzi was the eldest disciple of Tongtian Sect's master? If Minghe really wanted to kill Yun Zhongzi, it could be said that there would be no chance of survival. Therefore, Minghe also dared not make a move, only hoping that Kunpeng would make an effort and quickly get rid of Hongyun.

  Hong Yun was also in a bad situation, as he had been injured before. Although his vitality had recovered, his injuries had not healed much, so he was at a disadvantage against Kun Peng and was caught off guard, being punched directly on the back in no time.

  A loud "crack" sounded, and Hongyun's back was directly blown apart, her entire body unable to stand upright.

  Hongyun rapidly descended to the ground, and simply landing was such a simple matter. However, after Hongyun landed on the ground, his entire face was filled with painful expressions, and he was drenched in sweat, revealing the immense pain of having his spine snapped.

  Kunpeng saw this and couldn't miss such an opportunity. With a loud laugh, he rushed towards the red cloud.

  Yun Zhongzi was shocked and was about to use the Twelve Tribulations' Black Lotus Rite on Hong Yun, but at this moment, Yuan Tu and An Bi's two swords flew towards him with a speed that was more than twice as fast as before.

  If Ruoruo were to bring out the Twelve Products of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, even with the Gun of God-Slaying in hand, he could only withstand one sword strike. Under a second strike, he would be absolutely dead without a chance of survival. If he didn't do so, Hongyun would have no possibility of returning to life either. Yun Zhongzi was caught between two difficult choices.

  Just as Kunpeng was about to pounce on Hongyun, Kunpeng's eyes were filled with excitement, and Minghe was also overjoyed. However, Yunzhongzi was about to exert his strength to shoot the Hegemonic Gun to kill Kunpeng, when Hongyun's face was full of despair...

  Suddenly a book appeared in front of Hongyun, directly blocking Kunpeng's attack. At the same time, an angry voice entered everyone's ears.

  "What a wonderful Kunpeng, Minghe, you are obscuring the heavenly mechanism and killing the Red Cloud Daoist friends. Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by the people of Hongyuan?"

  This person is actually Zhenyuanzi, and as for that book, it's naturally Zhenyuanzi's terrestrial book.

  Everyone saw Zhenyuanzi appear at this critical moment, with different expressions on their faces. Yunzhongzi naturally relaxed his expression, and at least rescued Hongyun. However, Kunpeng and Minghe's faces looked extremely unpleasant, only to be saved by Zhenyuanzi at the last minute, it would be strange if they didn't look unhappy.

  As for Hong Yun, a face full of painful expressions also revealed surprise, apparently surprised that Zhen Yuanzi appeared and saved himself at this critical moment. At the same time, he felt extremely lucky to be able to survive, fortunately, there were these two people, otherwise, he would have had no chance of escaping today.

  Kun Peng gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and flew away decisively, without even saying goodbye.

  "This makes Yun Zhongzi secretly say, 'Indeed resolute enough, no wonder he would abandon the demon clan and escape alone during the Great War of the Witch and Demon, this resoluteness is rare in people.'"

  Minghe saw Kunpeng retreat and also knew that he had no hope of getting the Hongmeng purple energy today, so he coldly snorted and left.

  At this time, Hongyun finally spoke to the two of them, "This great calamity was thanks to the two fellow Taoists for saving me, I am overwhelmed with gratitude."

  Zhenyuanzi supported Hongyun in sitting down and said, "Fellow Taoist, you're being polite. Given our friendship, I must rescue you no matter what."

  Yun Zhongzi put away his magic treasure, feeling relaxed all over, and flew to the front of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun. He first greeted Zhen Yuanzi and sat down in a circle, saying, "Hong Yun fellow practitioner is in a precarious situation, and from now on you must be careful. At present, the vast continent of Honghuang certainly has many powerful beings watching you."

  Hong Yun smiled wryly and said, "After going through this matter, I already know what to do."

  Hongyun surprisingly gave his flying technique to Yun Zhongzi as a repayment.

  "Daoist friends must not, I can only hold back Minghe River, this thing I am absolutely unable to collect."

  Yun Zhongzi naturally refused, the flying technique of Hong Yun was even better than Kun Peng's, it can be seen how fast its speed is. Such an important Taoist method, Hong Yun actually used it to thank himself, how could he accept it?

  Hongyun, however, insisted that Yun Zhongzi accept it and said, "Fellow Daoist, please take it. You and I are both transformed from clouds, so we can be considered the same kind. This flying technique is also my heart's blood over the years. I hope you can pass it on. Moreover, after today's events, I'm afraid I won't appear in the Hongyuan again."

  Yun Zhongzi and Zhen Yuanshi were both shocked, and they asked him repeatedly why, but Hong Yun just shook his head and didn't say anything.

  Yun Zhongzi had no intention of accepting it at first, but in the end, even Zhen Yuanzi came to persuade him on behalf of Hong Yun, so he had no choice but to accept it.

  Hongyun asked Cloud Middle Child after taking the Dan medicine, "How did you know that I had this calamity?"

  Zhenyuanzi heard this and also looked towards Yunzhongzi.

  Yun Zhongzi smiled and said, "On that day in the Purple Cloud Palace, when the Dao Ancestor gave you a strand of Hongmeng purple energy, I noticed that Kunpeng's eyes were not right, so I left a mark on my heart. That's why I had those words when we parted ways at Wuzhuang Guan. After that, I've been paying attention to fellow daoist, but recently, I suddenly lost the sense of connection with fellow daoist, so I knew someone would harm fellow daoist. So I rushed over from Biyu Palace. On the way, I was worried that Kunpeng might have helpers, so I sent a transmission talisman to Zhenyuanzi fellow daoist. Fortunately, we were able to save fellow daoist."

  Yun Zhongzi didn't mention the Naihe River, because in the Zi Xiang Palace, there was indeed no unusual place in the Naihe River. If he wasn't a person from a later generation who had crossed over, he wouldn't have known that the Naihe River would come to kill Hongyun.
