Chương 134: Duobao Talks About Jinling

Daoist Duobao did indeed want to talk to Fang Yang. He really wanted to know what kind of person Fang Yang was and what his purpose was.

"Junior brother, I hope you don't ask for too much. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our fellow disciples!"

Surrounded by countless immortals, Daoist Duobao once again set foot on the land of Jin'ao Island.

The group was in a grand procession. Fairy Hanxiao and Fairy Yuzhu sang and danced in the void, scattering flowers to pave the way. Fairy Lülu struck the fairy gong, and Fairy Huigu beat the drum. The gongs and drums resounded, and wherever the sound waves passed, the mountains and plants were automatically tied with red ribbons. The green mountains and clear waters also wore smiles, creating a festive atmosphere.

Surrounded by a multitude of immortals, Daoist Duobao reveled in the magnificent spectacle of being honored by a gathering of immortals. A refined smile graced his face; at this moment, he was not a Daoist cultivator, but a gentle and elegant scholar.

Within the Star Palace, the Vacuum Hall, and the Eternal Palace, three pairs of gazes peered through the void, witnessing everything that was happening at the entrance to Golden Turtle Island.

In the past, they would have gone to the mountain gate to greet Daoist Duobao upon his return. Now, however, they remained motionless, showing no intention of welcoming him at all.

Fang Yang declared war on the Duobao Daoist faction a long time ago, and the enmity between the Qingcheng Mountain lineage and the Penglai Island lineage is now a foregone conclusion.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and the Holy Mother of Wudang support Fang Yang. As long as Fang Yang is willing to stand up and fight against Daoist Duobao, they are willing to help him.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit did not want to take sides. If she went to welcome Daoist Duobao, she might be dragged into the factional struggles of the Jie Sect. The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit did not care about any conflicts in the world; she just wanted to live her own life behind closed doors.

However, regardless of the situation, the absence of the three Golden Spirit Mothers at the gate of Golden Turtle Island is not a good sign for Daoist Duobao. If the three Golden Spirit Mothers all side with Fang Yang and help him against him, his situation will be extremely passive.

Whoosh!

Three divine thought clones flew out from above the head of Daoist Duobao. They soared into the sky and quickly arrived at the Daoist temple of the three Golden Spirit Mothers.

Inside the Star Palace, the Golden Spirit Mother was pondering whether to send a message to Fang Yang. Just then, she sensed the presence of Daoist Duobao outside the Star Palace.

Her heart sank slightly, knowing that Daoist Duobao had come to her door.

Golden Spirit Mother had fantasized about this meeting with Daoist Duobao many times. She felt guilty towards Daoist Duobao.

When she first became his disciple, Daoist Duobao treated her like a brother, teaching her Daoist arts, taking her on journeys, and instructing her on the ways of survival in the world. But now, she must join forces with Fang Yang to deal with Daoist Duobao's followers.

Even though she knew it was for the sake of the Jie Sect, she still felt sorry for Daoist Duobao and had no face to see him.

"Senior Brother, please don't blame Junior Sister. I had no choice. I can hardly repay your kindness, but I can never fully repay Master's kindness to me. I will not allow anyone to damage the fortune of the Jie Sect, including you!"

The image of the Tongtian Sect Leader flashed through Jinling Shengmu's mind, and then her eyes hardened.

She no longer hesitated, no longer felt guilty; she had the courage to face Daoist Duobao. Perhaps what she was about to do would offend Daoist Duobao, but she would still do it.

She lacked the awareness to sacrifice her own family for the greater good; she was simply doing what she wanted to do.

When Duobao Daoist's divine sense avatar entered the Star Palace, he did not blame Jinling Shengmu; instead, he first played the emotional card.

"Junior sister, this journey has taught me a great deal. The exciting chapter 'Chapter 134 Duobao Talks About Jinling' is now available online. Click to read it first! In the mortal world, I have witnessed all walks of life. Among them, what has touched me the most is the affection and righteousness of mortals."

"Oh, which mortal is so lucky to receive such praise from our senior brother?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit became interested.

On the surface, Daoist Duobao appears very approachable, but in reality, he is a very proud man. There are very few people in the world whom Daoist Duobao deems worthy of his respect.

Daoist Duobao smiled slightly, a look of reminiscence on his face: "That place is called Mashanbo. On Mashanbo, one hundred and eight mortals with deep feelings of brotherhood gathered together. They raised the banner of acting on behalf of Heaven, protecting the country and its people, punishing evil and promoting good, and upholding justice for the common people. Humanity is full of affection, and Mashanbo was a place of brotherhood.

They were just mortals, yet they were able to live for love and die for righteousness. It truly moved me, brother."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Mother; she understood the unspoken meaning in Duobao Daoist's words.

"In that case, the mortals on Mashan Lake are doing something similar to what our sect is doing. They are acting on behalf of Heaven, while our Jie Sect is trying to secure a lifeline for all living beings."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Duobao's expression softened even more: "Junior sister, it's good that you understand my feelings. Every time I see mortals on Mashan Lake, I think of my fellow disciples in the sect. We disciples of the Jie Sect always prioritize camaraderie and loyalty among fellow disciples, valuing our bond and upholding our principles. We would go to great lengths for our fellow disciples, even risking our lives for them."

He paused, his tone tinged with melancholy: "In my heart, everyone in the Jie Sect is one family. Since we are one family, we should all be together, and not one of us should be missing."

Golden Spirit Mother's eyes shimmered with starlight as she nodded slightly: "I understand what Senior Brother means. Senior Brother doesn't want to abandon any fellow disciple, even if that disciple is stubbornly clinging to the evil path and refusing to turn back."

The smile on Duobao Daoist's face froze, and his expression turned serious:

"Junior Sister, saying that is incredibly disrespectful to our fellow disciples. In Zixiao Palace, our Grandmaster personally intervened and abolished the demonic arts within our junior brothers and sisters. They have received their due punishment. Why must you kill them all? You must understand that even beings completely unrelated to us should be given a chance to repent. Who is without fault? To err is human, to forgive divine!"

The Six Immortals of Penglai are all his people, his most steadfast supporters; he cannot abandon them. If he abandons them today, who will support him and pledge allegiance to him in the future?

Jin Ling raised her eyes, her gaze unwavering: "And what about you, Senior Brother? You cultivated the demonic Heart-Burying Technique, losing your true self. Have you abolished your demonic arts?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Duobao's expression changed drastically.

Practicing the Burial of the Heart Technique was the thing he regretted most, and the thing he least wanted to talk about. The fact that the Golden Spirit Mother was questioning him about this clearly showed that she had been swayed to support Fang Yang.

"Junior sister, you have disappointed me greatly. I think you have been deceived by junior brother's sweet words. If you insist on dealing with junior brother Jin Guangxian and the others, you will be making an enemy of me. I have said all I need to say. Think it over carefully!"

Having had the "Heart Burial Technique" exposed to him by the Golden Spirit Mother, Daoist Duobao had no face to remain in the Star Palace. After leaving behind a single sentence, he dispersed his divine consciousness clone.

Seeing the destruction of Duobao Daoist's divine sense clone, Jinling Shengmu's eyes flickered slightly, and then her gaze returned to its firmness.

Duobao Daoren has her own choices, and so does she.

Duobao Daoist wanted to use his numerical advantage to spread his teachings and earn merit, thereby offsetting the karma created by the Six Immortals of Penglai and others. This was the future that Duobao Daoist was planning.

The Holy Mother Jinling absolutely does not approve of such a future!
