Chapter 112: The Xuanmen Retreat, Chi You Defeats Xuanyuan
On the battlefield of Zhuolu, Guangchengzi, the chief disciple of the Chan Sect, was brutally defeated by Duobao. Yuanshi couldn't stand it and personally stepped in to try to save face. However, Tongtian was not going to tolerate him and directly confronted him. Just as Tongtian and Yuanshi were about to fight, Taishang arrived in time to stop them. Styx, fearing that Tongtian would suffer a loss, also came to Zhuolu.
"Supreme Lord, my helpers have arrived as well. How about it? Shall we have a fight?" Tongtian said to Supreme Lord with a provocative look when he saw Styx arrive.
"Tongtian, how dare you speak to your elder brother like that?" Yuanshi, still righteous, rebuked Tongtian for his unpleasant manner.
"Original source, I am no longer one of the Three Pure Ones, so why should I be called the elder brother? If you want to fight, then fight; if you don't want to fight, that's fine too, just admit defeat," Tongtian said.
"You!" Yuanshi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Taishang.
Taishang looked at Tongtian and said, "Tongtian, whether you admit it or not, you will always be my younger brother. As for fighting, there's no need. It will only make the world laugh at us brothers. I'll give you the throne of Thailand."
"Brother, how can this be?" Upon hearing that Taishang had voluntarily relinquished the throne of the Tai Emperor to Tongtian, Yuanshi could hardly believe it. This was the only teacher of the Human Emperor in his Chan Sect. He had just given it up like that. Yuanshi didn't know how to explain this to Hongjun.
"Second Brother!" Taishang said, "The outcome of this battle is already clear, so why continue? Do you really intend to fight until your disciples suffer heavy casualties before you're willing to give up?"
Guang Chengzi was brutally defeated by Duobao, forcing Yuanshi to personally intervene. From the moment Yuanshi went to Zhuolu, the Chan Sect had already failed. If Tongtian and Minghe were not present, they could still forcefully reverse the situation with the power of the sages. However, with Tongtian and Minghe present, they could only be helpless. In particular, Tongtian's Zhuxian Sword Formation was so powerful that even if a sage war broke out, they could not defeat Tongtian without the participation of other sages. As for asking Hongjun to intervene, that was even more absurd. With a sage war about to break out, Hongjun had not yet shown up. Obviously, Hongjun was blocked at the gate by Xuanchu again.
"Uh..." Looking at the Twelve Golden Immortals lying on the ground like dead dogs, Yuanshi was speechless. Yuanshi knew all too well that the Chan Sect had already lost. Otherwise, why would he have disregarded his status as a saint and personally intervened? But to make Yuanshi admit defeat, given his pride, it would be better to kill him.
"Yuanshi, you don't need to force yourself too much. After all, it's too difficult for a sage like you to admit defeat. It's alright, we can continue fighting. Whether it's a battle between disciples or a fight between us, I, the sect leader, will accept it." Tongtian said to Yuanshi with a mocking smile. Having spent so many years with Yuanshi, how could Tongtian not know Yuanshi's personality? He was just stubborn as a mule.
"Yuanshi!" Seeing that Yuanshi was hesitant to express his opinion and Tongtian was still pressing him, Taishang was worried that Yuanshi would lose his temper. So he spoke to Yuanshi in a more forceful tone, saying, "You are a sage, you should be able to take it and let it go. If you lose, you lose. What's so shameful about it? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why fight for a moment's pride? If you insist on continuing, then I will not care about you in the future."
"Disciples of the Chan Sect, listen to my command! Follow me back to Kunlun Mountain!" Yuanshi said with a dark face. Taishang's words were not advice, but a threat. Yuanshi could accept defeat and give up the Taihuang's army, but he could not lose Taishang's support. The reason why Yuanshi dared to be arrogant in front of the two Western Saints and Nuwa was because Taishang was backing him up. Without Taishang's support, the two Western Saints would deal with Yuanshi in no time.
"We accept the decree!" The disciples of the Chan Sect breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from the disciples of the Jie Sect was immense. Although on the surface, apart from Guang Chengzi being in a worse state, the others seemed to be unharmed, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. Guang Chengzi was the biggest weak point. As long as Guang Chengzi was defeated, Duobao would be able to free up his forces. At that time, those seemingly evenly matched situations would be shattered instantly. Admitting defeat now was a timely way to stop the damage.
After Yuanshi left with the disciples of Chan Sect, Taishang also took Xuandu away, leaving only the disciples of Jie Sect at the scene.
"Brother Tongtian, congratulations! You have seized the position of the Tai Emperor's teacher. The fortune of the Jie Sect will surely rise to a new level." Styx congratulated Tongtian.
"Hahaha!" Tongtian laughed loudly, "Thanks to Junior Brother Styx, it wouldn't have been so easy to get Taishang and Yuanshi to admit defeat without Junior Brother Styx."
"Senior brother is joking. Even without Styx, your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would be enough to suppress Taishang and Yuanshi. Styx's arrival is merely icing on the cake, nothing to mention," Styx said.
Styx's words are not wrong. Even without Styx, Tongtian is not afraid of Taishang and Yuanshi. However, the Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be set up casually. Once Tongtian dares to set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Hongjun will definitely send all six Heavenly Saints over at once. At that time, a war between the saints will be truly unavoidable. It is precisely because of Styx that Tongtian was able to intimidate Taishang and Yuanshi without using the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
"No matter what, thank you very much, Junior Brother. I will remember this favor," Tongtian said. Styx had not been a Primordial Golden Immortal for long, and his foundation and aptitude were not very good. Therefore, he had been stuck at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal and his progress was very slow. In a one-on-one fight, he might not even be a match for Yuanshi. However, even though he was weaker, Styx was still willing to lend him a hand. Regardless of Styx's original intention, Tongtian remembered this favor.
"Senior brother, there's no need for such formalities between us. Now that this matter is settled, I won't stay any longer. There are still some mundane matters in the Blood Sea that I need you to attend to. I'll take my leave now," said Styx.
Tongtian nodded and said, "Very well, thank you for your trouble today, Junior Brother. Take care, Junior Brother. Come to Jin'ao Island sometime, and I'll drink with you until we're both drunk!"
After Styx left, Tongtian said to Jinpeng, "Jinpeng, the Xuanmen has withdrawn from the competition for the position of Taihuang's teacher. The rest is up to you. Don't disappoint your master. As for your fellow disciples, they will also return to Jin'ao Island."
"Please rest assured, Master, your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations!" Jin Peng replied. The biggest problem had been solved by Xuanmen. If Jin Peng couldn't handle the remaining matters, he would have no face to return to Jin'ao Island.
"Disciples of the Jie Sect, heed my command! Immediately return to Jin'ao Island with me, without fail!"
"I will obey the Master's instructions!"
After seeing Tongtian and his fellow disciples off, Jinpeng returned to the Jiuli tribe's camp. Upon seeing Jinpeng's return, Chiyou eagerly rushed forward and anxiously asked, "Master, how did it go? Did we win?"
Jin Peng smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, our Xuan Chu lineage has won a great victory in this battle. Those Xuanmen disciples have already left Zhuolu and returned to their respective mountain gates. Chi You, you should immediately organize your troops and launch a final attack on the Youxiong tribe, achieving victory in one battle and completely defeating Xuanyuan."
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely take down that brat Xuanyuan. I'm determined to become the Emperor of Tai!" Chi You was overjoyed. Xuanyuan had conquered the north and south, first integrating the northern tribes, then taking down the western tribes without losing a single soldier, and then defeating the southern tribes led by the Lieshan tribe. Almost everyone thought that Xuanyuan was the next human emperor, but he was able to surpass him and make the entire human race understand who the last emperor was.
Soon, under Chi You's leadership, the Jiuli tribe launched a final assault on the Youxiong tribe. Having lost the support of the Xuanmen, Xuanyuan had no will to resist. In the end, Xuanyuan was captured alive by Chi You. In order to save the Youxiong tribe, Xuanyuan voluntarily dissipated all his cultivation and committed suicide on the spot. After the battle, Chi You did not exterminate the Youxiong tribe, but exiled them to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south.
