Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 745: The Beggar Daoist

The beggar Daoist paid no attention to the pile of white bones and continued singing his Daoist verses as he approached the mountain. However, no one now regarded him as an immortal; all eyes were filled with terror as they looked at him.

The child of the man who had been reduced to only bones finally snapped out of his shock. He hastily ran to the pile of bones and began to call out in terror, “Father, father!”

Li Daoyie was immediately alerted. This is bad!

He quickly called out to the beggar, “Please, fellow Daoist, wait!”

“Annoying!”

The beggar Daoist frowned again. With a flick of his sleeve, a fierce wind swept through, taking away the worshipper's child and leaving behind another pile of fresh bones.

At this point, no one dared to make a sound. All the worshippers stood frozen, unsure of what to do, their eyes filled with fear.

Daoists from the Grand Thousand Dao Sect’s outer sect heard the commotion and rushed out, gathering around Li Daoye, both shocked and angry.

As the beggar Daoist approached a female worshipper holding a three-year-old child, she trembled uncontrollably in fear, her teeth chattering loudly.

“I told you not to be noisy,” said the beggar Daoist, chuckling ominously.

Countless black insects flew out from his sleeves, quickly engulfing the female worshipper and her child.

In less than a breath, all that remained on the ground were bones smeared with a bit of flesh. @@@@

“Damn it!” roared Li Daoye, furious.

He leaped into the air. As he moved, the wood element surged around him, causing trees and plants to grow wildly, transforming into towering soldiers that charged alongside him toward the beggar Daoist.

Some of the wooden soldiers did not forget to take all the worshippers along the way up the mountain to avoid harming them by accident.

The Daoists in the outer sect, witnessing this scene, felt a surge of confidence. They had heard of this technique, known as All Things as Soldiers. It was passed down by the highest-ranking ancestor of the Grand Thousand Dao Sect. Many of its disciples were skilled in this technique.

The beggar Daoist laughed oddly. “Ants, you dare to be noisy?”

The power of fire surged wildly around him. Fiery leopards formed from blazing flames appeared, lunging at the wooden soldiers.

In an instant, these wooden soldiers were reduced to ashes by the flames.

Despite seeing the All Things as Soldiers technique break under the flames assault, Li Daoye did not retreat; instead, he shouted sternly, “Eight Trigram Formation activate!”

Standing at a formation's eye, he continuously channeled his spiritual energy, causing a golden aura to rise and form a grand array around him, imprisoning the beggar Daoist within it. ȑÄ????oBĘS

Li Daoye fixed his gaze on the beggar Daoist. “Madman, where do you come from, and why are you wantonly killing the innocent here?”

The beggar Daoist glanced at the formation and chuckled. “The Eight Trigram Formation of the Innate Dao Sect? It seems the Great Expansion Dao Sect indeed has some good treasures hidden away.”

He seemed wary of Qin Xuan’s background, as his smile faded a little.

Qin Xuan thought the opponent was intimidated and was about to speak again when she suddenly saw him glance back at Li Daoye and break into a strange laugh. “Kid, who’s your daddy now?”

He raised his hand and struck again.

Li Daoye was sent flying by the terrifying palm force, crashing heavily in front of Qin Xuan.

The onlooking worshippers could clearly see that even his arms had been broken now.

A glimmer of despair flashed in Li Daoye’s eyes. “I’m afraid I’ve lost all face.”

In light of the situation, he even neglected the searing pain.

The beggar Daoist chuckled again. “Kid, not going to answer me? It seems my two merciful attempts haven’t made you understand.”

Li Daoye shouted angrily, “My real name is Li Daoye! If you have the guts, reveal your name! Even if I die here today, I’ll at least divine your fate before I go!”

At that moment, Pei Qingfeng’s voice rang out. He had arrived along with Guan’e and others. “Disciple, don’t be unreasonable! This person is the South Void Mountain’s wandering cultivator, Immortal Duan.”

Stepping out from the light gate, he arrived in front of Li Daoye.

Pei Qingfeng looked at the beggar Daoist and cupped his hands with a smile. “Immortal Duan, my Grand Thousand Dao Sect hasn’t offended you, right?”

The beggar Daoist smirked. “It hadn’t before, but your disciple has insulted me quite harshly just now.”

“Let’s be straightforward.” Pei Qingfeng smiled. “I’ve heard that you enjoy mingling among mortals, free and unrestrained. Why have you come here and targeted our worshippers?”

“Why? Because they were noisy. Isn’t that reason enough?” The beggar Daoist paused, then chuckled. “Actually, it’s nothing much. I’m also a person of the Dao. I came here today just to convey a message from the Purple Sun Dao Sect. Three days from now, they will come in full force to ask for guidance, so you all should be prepared.”

Pei Qingfeng and the others were astounded.

Although the Purple Sun Dao Sect wasn’t particularly strong, they had an Enlightenment Realm cultivator stationed there and were quite renowned within the Azure Dao Manor. What’s more critical was that the Purple Sun Dao Sect was backed by the Nine Sun Dao Sect.

Are they planning to take action against the Grand Thousand Dao Sect?

“I have delivered the message. I’ll take my leave now. See you in three days,” said the beggar Daoist.

He laughed heartily and began to sing the Daoist chant as he prepared to descend the mountain.

“Since you’re already here, why not have a cup of tea before you leave?”

A figure walked up from the foot of the mountain and cupped their hands toward the beggar Daoist.
