Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 347 - 302: Yun Xiao Faces Calamity

A woman in green attire walked across the sea surface, her figure flickering just a few times before she had stepped onto the Three Lights Immortal Island. She gave a cupped fist salute and said, "I have seen my senior brother!"

Bai Jin also stood and reciprocated with a cupped fist salute, smiling as he said, "Yun Xiao, junior sister, what brings you here? Please, have a seat." Both of them sat down on a large mushroom. frёeωebɳovel.com

Yun Xiao said with a touch of sorrow, "Senior brother, now I am the only one left in the Law Enforcement Hall. It’s just too desolate."

"If junior sister is feeling bored, you can come play here with me."

Yun Xiao looked around and said, "Shi Ji, that maiden, Long Ji, Jingwei – they are not here either. It’s rather lonely at your place as well, senior brother!"

Bai Jin spoke leisurely, "Enduring a moment of solitude allows one to attain eternal freedom.

Planting mushrooms around the island, I raise my eyes to see the sky amidst the sea. The mind is clear and pure, that is the true Tao; stepping back is actually moving forward.

Junior sister, taking a step back might bring you even more."

"Are you speaking of that elder sister?"

"Yes! Just some casual feelings I was expressing."

"Senior brother, I am here mainly to express gratitude for saving my elder brother’s life."

Yun Xiao stood up and deeply bowed with utmost respect, "Many thanks to senior brother for his life-saving grace. We will never forget your great kindness."

Bai Jin quickly stood up and said, "Junior sister, you are too polite. You and the others are my disciples, my brothers and sisters; how could I, as the elder brother, not save you when you are in peril?! Please rise quickly."

Yun Xiao got up, a smile on her face.

Both returned to their seats.

After a moment of hesitation, Yun Xiao asked, "Senior brother, have you found the person who secretly harmed my elder brother?"

"No need to ask further, and no need to worry about it."

"But senior brother, that’s my elder brother."

"And I am your senior brother, how could I harm you?"

Yun Xiao’s expresson flickered slightly as she murmured, "Senior brother, was it the Saint?"

Bai Jin remained silent and did not respond.

"Senior brother, I understand. I will not ask anymore."

Bai Jin then advised, "Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming has already been rescued by me. You should let go of any resentment. In the midst of the Great Tribulation, life and death are unpredictable."

Changing the subject, Yun Xiao said, "Senior brother, I am the only one left in the Law Enforcement Team now. When will it be my turn to face the Tribulation?"

After pondering for a moment, Bai Jin replied, "I had intended to arrange for you to enter the Tribulation soon, but due to a sudden emergency, there might be perilous danger."

"Just like the unforeseen incident that befell my elder brother?"

Bai Jin nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then I am all the more obliged to go. If someone has harmed my elder brother, how can I rest!"

Yun Xiao looked at Bai Jin with resolute eyes.

After contemplating for a while, Bai Jin said, "Good, then you may take a trip there! In the midst of the Great Tribulation, the most feared is indecision."

"Senior brother, to what extent can I go? Slay disciples from the Chan Sect and Western Sect?"

Bai Jin extended a hand and tapped Yun Xiao’s forehead, saying annoyedly, "Where did these angry thoughts come from?"

Yun Xiao’s face turned red and she complained, "Senior brother~"

Bai Jin withdrew his hand with a dry laugh. He was accustomed to tapping Jingwei Longji’s head, how had he ended up tapping Yun Xiao’s head? Clearing his throat, he said, "You can let people like Mahasthamaprapta from the Western Sect have a turn in the Mixed Element Gold Bowl."

Yun Xiao’s gaze sharpened. Mahasthamaprapta, could it be one of the Western Church Saints who acted against my elder brother? Senior brother saved my elder brother from the hands of the Western Church Saints, what risks had he taken? An image formed in her mind of Bai Jin fighting to save her elder brother, traveling through the heavens and the earth, facing life and death, wielding the Divine Sword and fighting bloodied battles, slaying countless Western Sect Disciples, until finally confronting the Western Church Saints, standing with a sword propped up.

Eventually, out of admiration for senior brother’s heroic spirit, the Western Church Saints spared her elder brother. Bai Jin then turned and returned to the Jie Sect, concealing his sharpness and brilliance beneath a guise of white that outshone snow, quietly protecting them, his junior brothers and sisters.

In the depths of Yun Xiao’s heart, a wave of indescribable emotion surged forth. My senior brother has been so good to us all!

"Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao, what’s wrong with you?" Bai Jin saw Yun Xiao’s complexion fluctuate and called out twice.

Yun Xiao suddenly stood up and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, gratefully saying, "Thank you, senior brother. You’ve braved hardships to rescue our eldest brother and shelter us. Such kindness will never be forgotten.

Rest assured, senior brother, I will certainly follow your instructions and will not act rashly, causing you any trouble."

Before Bai Jin could reply, Yun Xiao had already stood up and swiftly flew away, disappearing above the sea.

Bai Jin was momentarily puzzled and muttered, "What’s gotten into her? What hardships have I gone through? Was it really that difficult to deliver the straw effigy to Nuwa?"

Shaking his head, he sighed and said, "Women! Truly incomprehensible."

...

On the other side, Fire Spirit Saint Mother flew back to Duobao Island and entered the grand hall of Duobao Tower, where atop the main seat sat Duobao Taoist, cross-legged on a cushion, the hall vast and empty.

The Fire Spirit Saint Mother knelt on a cushion below, and said respectfully, "Master, your disciple has returned."

Duobao opened his eyes and leisurely inquired, "Have you been drawn into a calamity?"

The Fire Spirit Saint Mother nodded somberly and replied, "Yes."

"Why did you not heed your master’s words?"

The Fire Spirit Saint Mother said dejectedly, "Uncle Lv Yue has perished; he took care of me since I was young, and I am heartbroken."

Duobao said calmly, "Lv Yue did not cultivate his virtue, and calamity entered his body. It was his fate to go through this during the Calamity of Measurements."

Unable to resist, the Fire Spirit Saint Mother looked up and said, "Master, I almost perished in the calamity, was that also fate?"

"You have already been saved by Bai Jin, so it is no longer fate."

"Master, if uncle had not intervened, would you have saved me?"

Duobao looked at her and with a slight smile said, "Your tribulation has passed, go and meditate in seclusion."

"Yes!" Fire Spirit Saint Mother answered, stood up, and walked outside.

...

A month later, the Xi Qi army and the Yin Shang army engaged in repeated battles, with Yin Shang suffering a major defeat and being besieged in a fortress.

Inside the main hall, Wen Zhong sat high on the main seat, with Shen Gongbao, Yang Jiao, Ao Bing, Deng Chanyu, and others seated below.

Wen Zhong said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Shen Gong, the forces of Xi Qi are strong, what should we do now?"

Stroking his beard, Shen Gongbao said gravely, "We can only go to the East Sea now and ask for assistance from the Jie Sect.

I have a friend named Luo Xuan, the Flame Immortal, whose dominion over fire spells is rarely surpassed; certainly, he can withstand Xi Qi."

Yang Jiao frowned and said, "Flame Immortal Luo Xuan, I know of him. Though he possesses Tongtian abilities, he acts without restraint. I worry that inviting him might lead to him burning down Xi Qi, harming countless soldiers."

Ao Bing also whispered to the side, "Chanyu, if the Flame Immortal comes, stay away from him; he’s not a good person."

Deng Chanyu nodded firmly, trusting that Brother Ao Bing would never harm me.

Wen Zhong’s expression flickered, knowing that water and fire are ruthless. If they could get the assistance of Flame Immortal, they might be able to fight Xi Qi.

Suddenly, a massive presence descended from the sky.

Everyone in the hall changed color and immediately stood up and ran outside.

As they exited the main hall, they saw three fairies descending from the sky.

Yang Jiao hurriedly bowed and called out, "Disciple pays respects to uncle!"

Ao Bing and Wen Zhong also quickly bowed and greeted, "We pay our respects to uncle!"
