Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 824 - 741: The Marshal Displays His Might, Captures the Eight-Treasure Again! [Thanks to Zhu Ting Feng for the 10,000 Reward!]

Tianhe.

Northern Realm.

Cloud Tower Palace.

Buddha Light illuminates all, monks sit in meditation, discussing Buddhist teachings.

Looking closely.

Among those sitting here, there are many high monks of the Buddhist Sect, renowned figures in the Three Realms.

Such as the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha at the head, the Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva to the left, Lingji Bodhisattva, Sitting Arhat, and Budai Arhat to the right.

The five of them expound on doctrines and discuss the path.

Sacred monks, arhats, jiedi, biqiu, yupovaisai, Immortal Gods of various mountains and caves, great gods, Ding Jia, Gong Cao, Jialan, Earth Spirits, enlightened master immortals from the Northern Tianhe, listen with great absorption.

At this moment.

Four Heavenly Dragon Generals burst in, urgently calling, "Guang Power Bodhisattva has been captured by the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, we beseech the King and Eight Treasures Bodhisattva to aid quickly!"

The Buddhist teachings session was interrupted.

All monks and Immortal Gods showed displeasure.

Yet upon hearing the Heavenly Dragon Generals' words, they were shocked: "Guang Power Bodhisattva? Captured alive?!"

They knew Guang Power Bodhisattva.

Originally the Jade Dragon Third Prince of the West Sea, possessing profound Dao abilities and outstanding skills. After the Western Tour, he joined the Buddhist Sect and was bestowed the title of 'Nammo Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons' Wide Power Bodhisattva', dual cultivating in Buddha Path, advancing his Dao abilities greatly.

Among those present.

Even the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha, without summoning that 'Linglong Treasure Tower', could not confidently claim victory, let alone capture alive.

Who exactly is this Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy to have such capability?!

"Tianpeng?"

"We stay in our own waterway within the Tianhe, how could he act so unreasonably?"

The Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva rose in anger, glaring at the four Heavenly Dragon Generals.

The Heavenly Dragon Generals dared not conceal the truth.

Hurriedly, they recounted the conflict caused by the Evil Flood Dragon.

The Eight Treasures Bodhisattva immediately grew more furious: "Since Guang Power Bodhisattva captured the Evil Flood Dragon, Tianpeng's robbery is unjustified. Come, let us go find Tianpeng for an explanation!"

With that.

He stood to leave.

The four Heavenly Dragon Generals showed hesitance and said, "Tianpeng declares, inviting the King and Bodhisattva both to come. If not within three days, Guang Power Bodhisattva will be beheaded."

Looking toward the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha.

Sending only the Eight Treasures Bodhisattva might not meet the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy's expectations.

Furthermore, the Eight Treasures Bodhisattva's power is ordinary, slightly inferior to their Third Prince. If he goes alone, he may just end up as meat on another's chopping block, adding trouble.

"Such arrogance."

"Guang Power Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva granted by the World Venerable, how could a mere Tianpeng speak of beheading so easily!"

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha chuckled disdainfully.

The four Heavenly Dragon Generals quickly said, "The origins of this Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy are unknown and his temperament unclear, thus caution is needed. We humbly ask the King to show compassion and save our Bodhisattva's life!"

Given how far it has come.

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha dared not refuse, otherwise, if Guang Power Bodhisattva truly was beheaded, it would become his fault, tarnishing his reputation.

"In that case."

"Let's confront this Tianpeng."

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha stood, ordering subordinates to gather Buddha Soldiers.

Meanwhile.

Budai Arhat frequently smiling, understood and said openly, "King, you must be cautious. Tianpeng's 'Five-Colored Divine Light' is truly formidable and troublesome. We, with the Senior Brother, are here for this Tianpeng too, why not go together, perhaps we might assist."

Nearby.

Lingji Bodhisattva also chimed in, "This fellow stole the Wind Stabilizing Pearl and Flying Dragon Staff granted by the World Venerable. I am here to retrieve the Supreme Treasures, and will accompany you, King."

"Couldn't be better!"

"With help from the Bodhisattva and two Venerables, dealing with Tianpeng should be a piece of cake!"

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha laughed heartily.

The four Heavenly Dragon Generals, witnessing such a formation, were relieved.

...

Three days later.

Little Galaxy.

Outside the camp, a report arrived, "Marshal, Buddha Soldiers have arrived eight hundred miles away."

"Finally here."

Lu Qingfeng stood, looking around at the generals within the camp, saying, "Generals, join me outside for a meeting."

"Yes."

The generals responded, leaving the camp together.

Outside the camp.

Indeed.

In the north, the camps stretched for countless miles, densely packed with Buddha Soldiers. Observing their march and setup, orderly and well-trained, definitely not scattered troops. Contrasting with Tianhe's side, somewhat loose. The difference is clear-cut.

"Worthy of the Pagoda-Bearing King."

Lu Qingfeng internally praised, knowing that he had only recently taken command of Tianhe, focusing on personal cultivation, hence Tianhe Water Army's military bearing naturally could not match that of the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha's Buddh Soldiers, who had once led as the Chentang Pass General and Heavenly Demon Suppressing Grand Marshal.

The discrepancy is naturally expected.

Outside the camp.

Riding clouds in the high sky.

Suddenly, several figures appeared ahead in the formation.

Leading them, wearing armor, draped with a Kasaya, crowned with a Golden Winged Crow Treasure Crown, left hand carrying a pagoda, right hand holding a trident, commanding presence.

Another.

A head of fiery red hair, tousled, two round eyes, bright as lamps.

Face neither black nor blue, indigo.

Draped in a goose-yellow cloak, waist cinched with twin white vines.

Below hang nine skulls, holding a formidable treasure staff.

Both stood out prominently.

Lu Qingfeng glanced over, immediately recognizing.

Seeing the latter stepping forward, loudly proclaiming: "Guang Power Bodhisattva subdues the Evil Flood Dragon, his Merit is infinite. Why does the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy wage war without reason?!"

Voice booming like thunder and drums, an old dragon's voice.

Very loud.

"Is it the Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva?"

Lu Qingfeng observed his appearance, guessed his identity, and shouted.

"That is indeed this humble monk!"

Eight Treasures Bodhisattva struck the 'Suoluo Treasure Staff' onto the cloud with a deep voice.

Lu Qingfeng's face darkened and said, "How could the Eight Treasures Bodhisattva distort black and white? This marshal is ordered by the Great Venerable to oversee the Tianhe and instructed to capture the Evil Flood Dragon. Instead of listening to the Buddha's teachings at Spiritual Mountain, the Guang Power Bodhisattva comes to Tianhe to obstruct this marshal and snatch away the Evil Flood Dragon, intending to frame this marshal. Dare I ask, Bodhisattva, what sense does this make?"

Eight Treasures Bodhisattva's face fell, recognizing the meaning behind the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy's words.

For a moment, he was unable to respond.

Nearby.

Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha laughed aloud, "I have long heard the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy is eloquent and excels in sophistry. Seeing it today, truly, the reputation is deserved."

"Hmm?"

Lu Qingfeng turned to look at the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha and mockingly said, "I wondered who it was, turns out it was King Li, who couldn't even manage his own son and got beaten and scurried away, yet had to cry for Randeng Buddha to bestow him the Linglong Treasure Tower."

In terms of verbal sparring, Lu Qingfeng never loses to anyone.

He's not afraid of old scores.

But these Immortal Buddhists, which one isn't riddled with scandals?

Lu Qingfeng had a great advantage.

His eyes glanced between King Li and his 'Exquisite Relics Ruyi Golden Treasure Tower' with open derision and a face full of mockery.

It indeed struck at Li Jing's sore spot.

"A mere bamboo demon, daring to speak such nonsense?!"

Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha was infuriated, shouting to the left and right, "Who will capture this thief for me?!"

Eight Treasures Bodhisattva responded to this, saying loudly, "I will!"

He stepped forward on the spot.

Brandished the Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff and attacked Lu Qingfeng.

As he charged.

Crash!

The treasure staff whirled, stirring the Tianhe water and churning the Tianhe sand, standing in the middle of Tianhe, intending to drag Lu Qingfeng underwater for battle.

"Wishful thinking!"

Lu Qingfeng knew this Eight Treasures Bodhisattva once caused mischief in the Flowing Sand River as a demon and had decent water skills. Entering the water would enhance his battle power by at least three layers. Though he practiced the Gonggong Demon God, excelling in the Water Technique, it wasn't wise to make things easy for Eight Treasures Bodhisattva.

His eyes fell upon the treasure staff in his hand.

This staff, outwardly encrusted with precious radian light, inwardly suffused with golden auspicious aura, resembled a black rolling pin, seemingly crude but actually crafted from the Moon Palace Suoluo Immortal Wood, sculpted by Lu Ban, weighing 5048 pounds, officially named the Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff.

Before joining the Buddhist Sect, as General Juanlian, he was bestowed this by the Jade Emperor, carried at his side, adaptable in size, excels at suppressing demons. After being demoted to Flowing Sand River, the staff stayed with him.

But now it's used to show off.

"Bestowed by the Great Venerable, hard to take back."

"This marshal will handle that!"

Seeing the staff's power, second only to his Emperor's Regret Bell, Lu Qingfeng swung his Green Bamboo Staff, scattering Tianhe water and sand into mist. Seizing the moment, he unleashed the green Divine Light, brushing over the Eight Treasures Bodhisattva's staff.

In the next moment.

The Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff fell into Lu Qingfeng's hand.

"My treasure staff!"

Eight Treasures Bodhisattva felt his hand empty, the staff missing. Looking up, he saw the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy holding it, putting it into his sleeve. What else could it be but his Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff?!

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Eight Treasures Bodhisattva realized, silently regretting.

When he attacked, clearly he held back, prepared against this Divine Light. Who would have thought, despite the caution, he couldn't evade. The Green Light, blending into the water mist, was truly hard to detect.

In an instant.

He fell into the trap.

"You thief!"

"Return my staff!"

Weaponless, Eight Treasures Bodhisattva was furious.

With bare hands, he raised the Tianhe water, charging at Lu Qingfeng. Each punch created gusts of wind, like a Divine Mountain crashing, splitting the heavens and earth.

To be hit.

At best, he'd tumble; at worst, obliterate into dust.

Lu Qingfeng was utterly unperturbed.

Cultivating the 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill,' with Demon God support, his body was exceptionally strong, strength unmatched. Although the Eight Treasures Bodhisattva packed a punch, how could he rival Lu Qingfeng?

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

The bamboo staff easily deflected the wind punches.

"Behold my divine skill."

Lu Qingfeng flipped his palm, producing a Copper Bell, and shook it lightly.

Ding-a-ling!

The Copper Bell's power, enhanced by the 'Fallen Divine Light,' immediately stalled Eight Treasures Bodhisattva.

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward, fiercely raised the bamboo staff, and smashed down hard.

Bam!

Directly striking the golden Dharma Image hidden within his body, toppling Eight Treasures Bodhisattva, sealing his Six Roots, rendering him immobile.

"Go!"

Throwing the Green Bamboo Staff, it transformed into Green Light, securely binding Eight Treasures Bodhisattva.

With hands free, wielding the axe, he repeatedly hacked fiercely at the equally stagnant dharma image, delivering 367 successive hits, shattering the golden Dharma Image into pieces.

A sweep of the Divine Light.

All was collected.

Another Dharma Image, several hundred Yuan Hui of mana secured.

This all sounds complex, but in reality, it all occurred in a flash after Lu Qingfeng snatched the Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff.

As the water curtain fell.

All Immortals and Buddhists then saw the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy holding an axe, standing proud with a cold demeanor, while Eight Treasures Bodhisattva was bound by the green light, rolling and struggling desperately on the ground.

Yet the Six Roots Purification Method sealed his six senses, mana, primordial spirit, and having lost the golden Dharma Image, left him with no power to escape.

Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeves grandly.

Rolling up Eight Treasures Bodhisattva to the Tianhe Army, commanding, "Bind him!"

Thus capturing yet another Bodhisattva alive.
