Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 795 - 715: Registered Disciple, Gone Missing! [Seeking Monthly Votes!]

"Very well."

"By subduing these Great Generals and Marshals, my Tianpeng Water Mansion will possess some power, enough to handle many situations. I'll then bring Le'er, Xiao'er, Yao'er along with my disciples here, then enter dreams to trace through time and space, journey through the vast universe, and cultivate myself to avoid any disasters since becoming Tianpeng."

Lu Qingfeng made up his mind.

He commanded the 'Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy' to lead him first to the Weaving Cloud Continent.

The generals of Tianpeng were headed by the 'Heavenly Gang Saint.'

The first one Lu Qingfeng had to subdue was this man!

...

On this end.

Lu Qingfeng, newly appointed as Tianpeng, faced a chaotic mess with numerous tasks at hand.

On the other end.

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind waited respectfully in the Black Wind Mountain.

Listening to a sermon.

The preacher was an extremely young girl, only seventeen or eighteen years old, dignified and beautiful, dressed in a long, flowing green robe, her long hair pinned up with a green bamboo hairpin, which added to her liveliness.

The girl's voice was clear and melodious, as though pearls were dropping onto a jade plate.

The Dao she expounded upon was profoundly mysterious.

Even the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind found it endlessly enigmatic and exceedingly beneficial.

After half a month passed.

Only then did the sermon conclude.

The girl instructed the various disciples and children in the mountains to disperse, then addressed the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind, "Great Saint of the Yellow Wind, I am aware of your purpose here. Considering you have cultivated for so long, it would be inappropriate for you to become a Third Generation Disciple. Today, I shall take you as my registered disciple in my father's place. My name is 'Zhou Zhu.' Call me 'Senior Sister' when you see me."

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind, upon hearing this, joyously bowed deeply to the girl, Zhou Zhu.

Zhou Zhu smiled and asked, "Do you have the Wind Stabilizing Pearl and the Flying Dragon Treasure Staff with you?"

"Yes."

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind hurriedly took out the treasures and presented them with both hands.

Zhou Zhu casually waved her hand to pick them up and spoke loudly, "Shakyamuni cultivated the incarnation of Duo Bao Tathagata with a thousand Innate Spiritual Treasures. Although the Wind Stabilizing Pearl and the Flying Dragon Treasure Staff might not seem impressive, they're still among those thousand treasures, and their karma is significant. I will keep them for you for now, and later return them to Tathagata."

Seeing the worried expression on the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind's face.

"I am not coveting your treasures."

Zhou Zhu added, "When Tathagata takes these treasures back, he will certainly not gift them again. Given his honor, he won't personally bother to deal with you."

"How could this disciple entertain such thoughts?"

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind was initially startled and quickly explained, "As you see fit, Senior Sister."

His mind, however, was relieved.

Having finally escaped Ling Ji.

If these treasures were to be returned and then given by Tathagata to Ling Ji, who would come after him, it would be a real mess.

"I see your weapon is quite ordinary, and there happens to be a chunk of Star Sand Iron from the bottom of the Heavenly River in the mountain's treasury. If you incorporate it into your trident, it can become a Supreme Treasure."

Zhou Zhu nonchalantly instructed a Daoist Child to fetch the treasure from the treasury.

In no time.

Eight children together carried back a palm-sized, shining mineral stone.

It was the Star Sand Iron.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind quickly expressed his gratitude, now understanding the benefits of having a sect and a protective mountain.

Storing away the Star Sand Iron.

Zhou Zhu pondered and finally said, "First refine this Star Sand Iron. I will make arrangements in some time."

"Yes."

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind complied.

As his Senior Sister was finishing her instructions and about to let him leave, the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind hesitantly said, "Senior Sister, please wait. My third brother is still outside the mountain. He is the Qingjing Method Bamboo who attained Dao in the Black Wind Mountain. Can he also be taken into the sect to avoid harassment from the Buddhist Sect?"

He should join the Heavenly Daoist Sect.

Though only as a registered disciple, he at least had an identity and needn't fear the Buddhist Sect.

But his third brother also had affiliations with the Buddhist Sect. Having helped him seize two Supreme Treasures from Ling Ji, he probably attracted their attention. Without the protection of Black Wind Mountain, he feared being restrained and converted by the Buddhist Sect, losing his freedom as had happened to him before.

The Great Saint of the Yellow Wind looked at his Senior Sister.

Only to see Zhou Zhu shake her head, "This 'Qingjing Method Bamboo' was obtained by the 'Nuojuluo Venerable' from the west, planted in the courtyard especially for quiet cultivation. Your second brother, Green Fox, took it away ignorantly and attained Dao on the Yellow Wind Ridge. Since it has already been given, how could it be right to take it back, possibly tarnishing Black Wind Mountain's reputation?"

With that said.

Zhou Zhu waved her hand, not waiting for the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind to speak further, then her figure faded and vanished.

"Sigh!"

Seeing Zhou Zhu depart, the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind heaved a sigh.

He was aware of this reasoning.

However.

The thought of his third brother enduring hardships was intolerable to his heart.

Meanwhile, he thought of a plan while heading towards the sect at Black Wind Mountain.

"Third brother?!"

Upon reaching the base of the mountain, he found that besides the Mountain Guardian Generals, there was no trace of his third brother.

Shocked.

He hurriedly asked, "Generals, do you know where my third brother has gone?"

Although the Mountain Guardian Generals did not know that the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind had become a second-generation disciple of the Heavenly Daoist Sect, they understood that he was personally summoned by the sect's ancestor master and did not dare to neglect him, answering honestly, "After you went in, that little Daoist left. As for the direction, it seemed he headed east."

"Why trouble yourself, third brother!"

Understanding clearly and guessing Lu Qingfeng's intentions, the Great Saint of the Yellow Wind, feeling both anxious and ashamed, looked towards the east. Without bothering to refine the treasure, he summoned the Yellow Wind and chased directly towards the east.

In less than two days.

He arrived outside the Heavenly Observation Marshal Mansion.

"Marshal Zhang."

"Has my third brother visited by any chance?"

Upon entering Marshal Zhang's residence, Huangfeng Great Saint saw Zhang Weiyu and, without bothering with pleasantries, immediately asked.

However, the expression on the face of the Heavenly Observation Marshal was complex.

He started to speak then stopped.

Anxious, Huangfeng Great Saint asked again.

Only then did Zhang Weiyu come to his senses and with a composed demeanor let out a laugh, "It seems the Great Saint is not yet aware. Congratulations are in order, your brother was summoned to heaven by Sa Heavenly Master. The Emperor himself decreed the Qingjing Daoist as 'Marshal Tianpeng True Monarch,' taking charge of eight million troops of the Heavenly River Navy, assuming the post effective immediately. He should be handling affairs in the Tianpeng Water Mansion at this moment."

Inquiries about the situation at Huangfeng Ridge had been made since then.

It was found out that Huangfeng Great Saint lost his fight against Lingji Bodhisattva and had left Huangfeng Ridge.

Critical among them was Qingjing Child from Three Great Kings of Huangfeng Ridge.

He intercepted and stole Lingji Bodhisattva's treasure on his route, and for reasons unknown, he separated from Huangfeng Great Saint and easily broke through the encirclement of the Eighteen Arhats.

Though he had not shown his full strength in direct confrontation, these two feats alone were enough to make his name resonate throughout the Three Realms.

It was then Marshal Zhang understood why the Jade Emperor would have Sa Heavenly Master personally invite this Qingjing Child to heaven. And the news from Palace of the Polestar that Qingjing Daoist defeated Wang Lingguan only surprised Marshal Zhang more. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Thus,

Upon learning that his former subordinate had transformed into the General of Tianhe, his overall acceptance was accompanied by a bit of shock.

"Marshal Tianpeng True Monarch?!"

Huangfeng Great Saint was also startled by the news and frowned immediately, "Why take up an official position in heaven?"

While the position of Tianpeng indeed offered substantial authority and great benefits, it also meant numerous responsibilities in the future.

The Jade Emperor surely wouldn't make a losing deal.

Worry crossed his mind.

Just then, while Marshal Zhang praised Lu Qingfeng for snatching Lingji's treasure and breaking through the encirclement of eighteen Arhats,

It became clear to him.

"It must be! It's the Buddhist Sect making it difficult, the encirclement of the Eighteen Arhats startled him. With no place to escape, he took refuge in the Heavenly Court."

Huangfeng Great Saint pieced it together.

A thought sparked.

And he decided to head to Tianhe to find Lu Qingfeng.

Just then,

Someone outside the Heavenly Observation Marshal Mansion reported: "Marshal, a 'Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy' from Tianpeng Water Mansion is outside, claiming to be under the orders of Tianpeng True Monarch, here to escort registered disciples and subordinates."

"Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy?"

Before Zhang Weiyu could act, Huangfeng Great Saint swiftly left the Marshal Mansion.

The envoy was waiting, and suddenly saw a swirl of yellow wind materialize before him, revealing a Daoist that carried an authoritative air, who directly asked: "Is your True Monarch in the Water Mansion?!"

While the envoy hesitated, Heavenly Observation Marshal hurried out towards him, saying, "Direct Talisman General, this is Huangfeng Great Saint, the oath brother of the new Marshal Tianpeng."

"Oh?"

"The True Monarch's oath brother!"

Startled, the envoy quickly responded, "My True Monarch ordered me to come here to gather disciples and former subordinates. He left Tianhe and descended from the Heavenly Realm, but his whereabouts are currently unknown."

He was an honest person.

And had also personally witnessed his new True Monarch display three heads and six arms combating the defiant generals like Heavenly Gang Saint, Nine Heavens Slaughter General, Gao Diaobei Weng God General, and Long Skull Giant Beast General, beating them all into submission, none daring to defy further.

Each of these generals,

Whether in terms of power or combat ability, was above him.

The Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy also had his reservations about the sudden promotion of a minor god to the position of Marshal Tianpeng and now having to be disciplined by him.

But it was ultimately Emperor Jade's Decree, and he dared not defy it.

Thinking to give the Emperor face, he reluctantly accepted the order to welcome.

And just managed to escape a catastrophe.

The shock was still not fully dissipated.

Now encountering the True Monarch's oath brother, he obviously did not dare to behave arrogantly, lest the True Monarch learn of it, and return to punish.

"Not in the Heavenly River Water Mansion?"

Huangfeng Great Saint's brow furrowed deeply, he sighed, "Always one step behind!"

Having just entered Black Wind Mountain, he finally could not wander about carelessly.

He could only give up, and to the Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy said, "If your True Monarch returns, please ask the general to send someone to Black Wind Mountain to inform me."

Meanwhile, Black Wind Mountain kept Lu Qingfeng from entering.

For his brother's sake,

Huangfeng Great Saint couldn't let Lu Qingfeng visit him at Black Wind Mountain, so he would have to visit Tianhe.

"Black Wind Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, both Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy and Heavenly Observation Marshal were shocked.

That was the locus of the Heavenly Daoist cultivation field.

Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy hurriedly asked, "May I inquire what relation the Great Saint has with Black Wind Mountain—"

"At Black Wind Mountain, report 'Huangfeng Daoist,' I will come out to meet you," Huangfeng Great Saint left this line and did not linger any longer.

He rode the yellow wind and returned to Black Wind Mountain.

Leaving Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy somewhat bewildered.

Looking at the side Marshal Zhang, but heard the Marshal seemingly mutter to himself, "Black Wind Mountain! Who would have thought Huangfeng Great Saint would have such fortune and could be admitted into the Heavenly Daoist order."

Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy, having long stayed in Tianhe, was not very informed about the Lower Realm.

He hurriedly inquired further.

Marshal Zhang didn't hide it and explained the secrets thoroughly to the Envoy, who finally understood.

Again, he was shocked.

But chose not to bring it up.
