Chapter 186 You Like to Bully Others, Right?
Niangniang Shiji struggled in the Nine Dragons Fire Cover. Her clothes turned to ashes in the blazing Samadhi Fire. Her body was twisted and deformed in the purgatory of the Samadhi Fire. Her skin was charred and she was in extreme pain.
Her voice was hoarse, but she was still begging: "Daoyou Taiyi, Taiyi Immortal... I was wrong, please let me go!
I won't dare to do it again!"
Nezha stood aside, watching the once powerful female demon in such a miserable state, and a trace of pity surged in his heart.
He looked back at Taiyi Zhenren and whispered: "Master, Shiji has realized her mistake, let's let her go.
She has received the punishment she deserves. If she continues like this, she will die."
Hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren looked at Nezha with a sharp gaze, but the expression on his face did not waver at all. He shook his head, his tone serious and firm: "Nezha, you are kind-hearted, which is a good thing. But you must also understand that being soft-hearted to the enemy often leaves behind the root of trouble.
People in cultivation must act decisively, cut the grass to remove the root, and never have any trouble.
Niangniang Shiji is cruel and ruthless. If we let her go, she will definitely cause trouble again. By then, it will not only be us who will be harmed, but also more lives."
Nezha was hesitant after listening to his master's words.
His eyes wandered between Taiyi Zhenren and Niangniang Shiji. He knew that what his master said made sense, but looking at Niangniang Shiji's painful appearance in the flames, his heart still softened involuntarily.
Niangniang Shiji was in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, surrounded by ruthless flames. Her voice was hoarse, but she was still begging for mercy.
Her body had been burned almost unrecognizable by the Samadhi True Fire, but her eyes still revealed the desire to survive.
Nezha bit his lower lip tightly, feeling a little bit reluctant.
Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren said calmly: "Nezha, you must remember one thing... to have mercy on the enemy is to be cruel to yourself.
If this Shiji does not die today, he will definitely harm you in the future. At that time, you will regret your temporary kindness today..."
Before Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, a cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, floating and fluttering, and there seemed to be a figure on it.
The cloud slowly fell, and Yang Ling's figure appeared in front of the master and disciple.
"It's you!"
Nezha exclaimed, as if he was a little surprised, staring at Yang Ling and questioning: "What are you doing here? I don't need your help!"
Yang Ling ignored him and looked directly at Taiyi Zhenren and said: "Taiyi, as a Jinxian of the Chan Sect, you are selfish and harm innocent people. You keep saying that it's for Nezha's good, but in fact it's just to survive your own killing calamity!"
When Taiyi Zhenren heard this, his face suddenly became ugly.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Yang Ling with a sharp gaze, questioning: "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous here!"
Yang Ling remained calm and responded generously: "I am Yang Ling, a disciple of the Human Sect. I passed by here today and couldn't bear to see Taoist Shiji die innocently, and I couldn't bear to see Nezha led astray by you!"
Taiyi Zhenren narrowed his eyes, as if examining Yang Ling's true identity. He asked coldly: "So you are that Yang Ling... Humph, when will it be your turn to teach the Xian Sect alone? Disciples pointing fingers? "
Yang Ling calmly replied: "Red flowers, green leaves, white lotus roots, the three religions are originally one family... You, me and fellow Daoist Shiji are all disciples of Xuanmen, so I naturally cannot sit idly by and watch you kill fellow disciples!
Besides, Nezha is kind by nature, and should learn to be compassionate, instead of being led by you to a path of killing. "
Niangniang Shiji was tortured in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, her body was burned to charcoal, and only her soul was still struggling to support her. When she saw Yang Ling coming, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Ling, save me... I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have provoked right and wrong, and I shouldn't have ignored the advice... Please, save me!"
Her words were full of regret, and that desperate plea made everyone present feel the fear deep in her heart.
The former strength and arrogance have now disappeared in the face of life and death.
Yang Ling nodded slightly, turned to Taiyi Zhenren, and said in a deep voice: "It was Nezha who shot and killed Daoist Fellow Shiji's boy first. Daoist Fellow Shiji just wanted an explanation, but you took such a heavy hand and wanted to refine him to death!
Are you protecting Nezha, or are you using this incident to satisfy your own killing desire?
Now I advise you one last time, let Daoist Fellow Shiji live immediately. If you insist, then I will have to do it myself."
Taiyi Zhenren heard this, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes "Yang Ling, who do you think you are? Why do you come here to make decisions? I tell you, it's impossible! Lady Shiji is cruel. If I let her go now, she will repeat the same mistakes in the future. How can I change my mind just because of a few words from you?"
At this time, Nezha suddenly stepped forward and interrupted, "Master, what Yang Ling said is not unreasonable. Although Shiji made a mistake, she has been punished now. Why don't you spare her life?"
Taiyi Zhenren glanced at Nezha, frowning, obviously dissatisfied with what Nezha said. He knew that Nezha was soft-hearted, but he didn't expect that Nezha would also start to waver at this time.
"Nezha, you don't understand." Taiyi Zhenren said in a deep voice, "Letting her go is like letting a tiger go back to the mountain, which will become a big problem in the future. You and I are both practitioners. How can we ignore the greater good because of temporary sympathy?"
Hearing this, Nezha's heart was full of contradictions. He didn't know whether to listen to the master's words or the voice in his heart.
He knew that his master was firm in his position, but he couldn't bear to see Niangniang Shiji being refined in the flames.
His eyes wavered between Taiyi Zhenren and Yang Ling, not knowing what to do.
Yang Ling's expression remained unchanged. He knew that if he didn't take action today, Niangniang Shiji would definitely die.
Taiyi Zhenren sneered, his eyes wandering between Yang Ling and Niangniang Shiji, as if he was enjoying a drama.
He had absolute confidence in his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and didn't think Yang Ling had the ability to break the flame barrier condensed by nine dragons.
He looked at Yang Ling and sneered, "You want to save people, right? Then go into the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to save her yourself... As long as you can save her, it's not impossible for me to spare her life."
Yang Ling smiled slightly, and suddenly there was an ancient copper coin in his hand. The copper coin was engraved with strange runes around it, emitting a faint golden light, and went straight to the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
The falling treasure money rotated in the air, making a series of crisp clanging sounds, and instantly turned into a golden light, covering the Nine Dragons Fire Cover.
The flames in the Nine Dragons Fire Cover dimmed instantly, and the nine circling and dancing fire dragons seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force and gradually dissipated.
Then, the Nine Dragons Fire Cover actually shrank and deformed, and in an instant it turned back to its original inverted copper bowl shape, and slowly fell into Yang Ling's hands.
Taiyi Zhenren was shocked when he saw this. He never thought that Yang Ling was actually able to remove his Nine Dragons Fire Cover.
His face turned pale instantly, and an unprecedented panic surged in his heart.
He suddenly remembered what his two brothers Wenshu and Yuding had mentioned before, saying that Yang Ling had a strange treasure in his hand, which was extremely powerful and could drop people's treasures.
At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren regretted it. If he had known this, he would never have taken out the Nine Dragons Fire Cover easily.
"Yang Ling, you...what do you mean?" Taiyi Zhenren's voice trembled. He tried to stay calm, but the panic in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Yang Ling, give me back my baby!" Taiyi Zhenren's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were full of anxiety and fear. He knew that once he lost the Nine Dragons Fire Cover, he would encounter endless difficulties in his future practice.
Yang Ling was unmoved. His eyes were cold and he looked at Taiyi Zhenren indifferently, "I will keep your Nine Dragons Fire Cover for you temporarily and give it to Nezha later.
As for Fellow Daoist Shiji..."
Yang Ling turned and looked at Shiji, only to see that her charred body was gradually healing. It was not difficult for her, a Taiyi Jinxian, to reshape her body.
However, after being tempered by the Nine Dragons Fire Cover, her soul was weak and her vitality was seriously damaged. It was certain that she would lose at least thousands of years of mana.
"Fellow Daoist Shiji, you can leave on your own... I will give you an explanation about Nezha shooting your boy in the future. As for the grudge between you and Taiyi, that is your business. Don't involve others.
Do you understand?"
Yang Ling said lightly, with a warning in his words.
Niangniang Shiji trembled and stood up from the ground with difficulty. She glanced at Yang Ling, her eyes full of gratitude, but also mixed with deep fear.
She knew that she could survive today, all thanks to Yang Ling's kindness. She didn't dare to cross any more and quickly turned into a black gas and soared into the sky.
"Don't leave!"
Taiyi Zhenren's voice exploded in the air like thunder, and a powerful force surged from the whisk in his hand, trying to stop Niangniang Shiji from leaving.
However, at the moment when that force was about to touch Niangniang Shiji, Yang Ling waved his hand lightly, and that force was like being blocked by an invisible wall and scattered.
Taiyi Zhenren's face instantly became extremely ugly. He didn't expect Yang Ling to be able to easily resolve his attack.
A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he dared not act rashly again.
Yang Ling looked at Taiyi Zhenren coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his eyes, "Taiyi, if you don't stop, don't blame me for being rude."
"You!"
Although Taiyi Zhenren was angry, he also knew that he was no match for Yang Ling, so he could only shout coldly: "Don't bully me too much!"
"Bullying me too much?" Yang Ling stared at Taiyi Zhenren with a bad look, "Didn't you just bully fellow Daoist Shiji like this?
Oh, no, you want to refine her to death... Tsk tsk tsk, who is bullying others by taking advantage of their power?"
