Chapter 1046: Disrespecting Superiors

Yet none of the immortals, gods, Buddhas, or bodhisattvas rose to greet him.
“This Yellow Dragon is still as foolish as ever! He must know that Ji Meng is the protector of the Beiming Sect, yet he still dares to kill him? Isn’t that offending the Kunpeng? Doesn’t he even consider his own strength?”
“Offending the Kunpeng is one thing, but if he offends the Goddess Nüwa, even Yuan Shi might not be able to save him!”
“Moreover, Yuan Shi has always despised those who hatch from eggs with feathers and scales. Who knows—maybe the Kunpeng will even be happy to kill him.”

The immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas discussed among themselves.
It was well known that after the great war between the witches and demons, Goddess Nüwa, who descended from the demon race, protected them. The Beiming Sect led by the Kunpeng was able to dominate the northern skies and expand its influence there, while the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court could do nothing about it—all because of Goddess Nüwa behind the Beiming Sect.

The Yellow Dragon ignored the immortals, and though the four women were angry after receiving his instructions, they did not act on it. Still, the Rebellious Dragon couldn’t help but let out a thunderous snort that echoed in the ears of the immortals and Buddhas, scaring them so much that they all stopped in their tracks.

“Hehe, True Man Yellow Dragon, after waiting so long, you’ve finally arrived,” said Taibai Jinxing eagerly, smiling and gesturing, “Please, come in!”

The immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas still didn’t know the true nature of the Yellow Dragon, but Taibai Jinxing knew a bit about him. He was afraid that the others might provoke the Yellow Dragon by being disrespectful.

The Yellow Dragon nodded indifferently and followed Taibai Jinxing to his assigned seat.

“What?! This Yellow Dragon has been seated in the first row?!”
“What merits does he have? Did Taibai Jinxing make a mistake?!”

When the immortals and Buddhas saw Taibai Jinxing lead the Yellow Dragon to sit in the first row south of the Jade Pool, they couldn’t help but whisper in shock and disbelief.

At the Peach Festival, the seats were arranged on both sides of the Jade Pool—north and south. There were three rows on each side. Generally, those sitting in the first row on either side were humans, the top disciples of the Chen, Jie, and Western sects, or the leaders of sects like the Beiming Sect and the River of Darkness. Only such people were qualified to sit in the first row.

Now that the Yellow Dragon had been seated there, did it mean the Jade Emperor considered him equal to the leaders of the Beiming Sect, like the Kunpeng?!

Xuandu, the top disciple of the Human Sect who was already seated, and Jinling Shengmu of the Jie Sect, who sat next to him, were also shocked when they saw the Yellow Dragon. But after their initial surprise, they both remained calm, their thoughts unreadable.

Since this was the Jade Emperor’s wish, the two of them had nothing to say. After Huang Long sat down, he remained calm and composed, while Huang Yi and the others, as relatives brought by Huang Long, were seated below the Jade Pool. “Guangchengzi of the Chan School and Chisijingzi have arrived!” Not long after Huang Long took his seat, an immortal official outside suddenly announced loudly. Immediately, everyone turned to look. Two young men wearing Taoist robes and carrying immortal swords entered with an air of arrogance. “Dear Taoist brothers, long time no see!” As Guangchengzi and Chisijingzi arrived, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother of the Jie School stood up to greet them, along with Xuan Du, the eldest disciple of the Ren School. Although the three schools—Ren, Chan, and Jie—had deep conflicts during the Battle of Deification, times had changed, and the three schools were originally one; thus, they should greet each other. Xuan Du and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother stood up to welcome them, and the other attendees, including Emperor Nanzhan, the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Dongfang Chongen, the Northern Arctic Xuanling, and the Central Yellow Extreme Yellow Horn Immortal, also stood up to greet them. Except for the Buddhists from the West, such as Ran Deng and Manjushri, who did not stand up, most of the attendees stood up to greet Guangchengzi and Chisijingzi with smiles, showing the high status of these two in the Chan School. This was the complete opposite of when Huang Long entered. Guangchengzi and Chisijingzi, full of pride, greeted everyone with smiles. However, when the two entered the Jade Pool and reached the seats in the south, they were stunned upon seeing Huang Long, and their expressions darkened. “Huang Long, what kind of identity do you have to dare attend this Peach Festival? How dare you sit in the front row? Get down from there!” Chisijingzi was the first to shout angrily, pointing at Huang Long. He had often scolded Huang Long like this in the past. Although Huang Long had returned powerfully and killed Ji Meng, that did not change his status in Chisijingzi’s eyes. In his view, Huang Long was still that weak, incompetent, and worthless disciple with low status in the Chan School. Guangchengzi also looked gloomy. As the eldest disciple of the Chan School, he was greeted by Xuan Du and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother when he arrived, but this Huang Long still dared to sit here acting tough and ignoring him?! Did he think that just because one of his subordinates killed Ji Meng, he could be so arrogant as to disregard his senior brother?! Naturally, he also needed Chisijingzi to teach this insolent wretch a lesson! Chisijingzi’s angry outburst immediately drew the attention of all the immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas in the Jade Pool, who watched with delight, taking pleasure in Huang Long’s misfortune.

At this moment, the Yellow Dragon slowly raised its head, a cold glint in its eyes. For some reason, the moment the Red Essence Spirit met the Yellow Dragon’s gaze, it felt a badpremonition.

“Which dog is barking here recklessly! Does a dog even have the audacity to attend the Peach Festival?! Ah, Tai Bai Jin Xing, right? How did your Pangu Heavenly Court allow such a mad dog in?” Just as everyone watched the Yellow Dragon with schadenfreude, a cold laugh suddenly came from below the Jade Pool.

Then, everyone saw the Rascal Dragon approaching.

Everyone was stunned.

A dog?!

Someone actually called the Red Essence Spirit a dog?!

This made all the immortals and Buddhas feel dizzy.

Tai Bai Jin Xing was even more stunned, unable to react for a moment.

“Master, such a dog truly doesn’t deserve to sit in the first row with you. Not to mention the first row— it doesn’t even deserve to enter the Jade Pool!” the Rascal Dragon said to the Yellow Dragon.

“You… you actually dare say that?!” Only then did the Red Essence Spirit realize what the Rascal Dragon meant. Its face turned pale with anger as it roared, “Yellow Dragon, since you can’t control your servant and dare to defy me, I’ll capture you all now and take you back to Kunlun Palace to be punished!”

After saying this, the immortal sword behind the Red Essence Spirit flew up automatically, its blade emitting a brilliant light. A fierce sword energy shot out, startling the powerful beings around.

Then, the Red Essence Spirit thrust his sword at the Yellow Dragon.

This wasn’t meant to capture the Yellow Dragon—it was meant to kill him. If hit by this sword, given the Yellow Dragon’s previous level of cultivation, he would be severely injured if not killed!

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes. Just as the Rascal Dragon was about to act, the Yellow Dragon said in a deep voice, “No need. I’ll do it myself!” He wanted to personally end the grudges from their past lives!

However, the Yellow Dragon didn’t use its divine power but rather a small portion of its true strength. Raising his right hand, he pointed at the Red Essence Spirit’s immortal sword.

“Yellow Dragon, you’re simply seeking death!” The Red Essence Spirit laughed angrily at the Yellow Dragon’s audacity to try and touch his own sword with his finger.
