Chapter 325 - 319: The Power of Treasured Lotus Lantern【Fifth Update, Requesting Subscription】_1

Sha Chen coughed once and just looked at the Three Holy Mother, waiting for her generous gift.The Three Holy Mother was stunned for a moment. She had called out to Sha Chen in a moment of desperation, never actually expecting him to really stop. But when Sha Chen did stop, she hurriedly pressed on with her question.

Sha Chen said, "What about the generous gift you mentioned?"

The Three Holy Mother’s expression changed, then she replied, "Sorry, I didn’t bring it."

Sha Chen vanished instantaneously, and his indifferent voice came from the river, "Bring it, then come talk to me."

"Remember, if what you bring is less than what Fairy Yunlou offered, then it’s insincere."

The Three Holy Mother stomped her feet in anger, saying, "Despicable, truly despicable! How can there be such a materialistic person in this world?"

Boss Yuan and the others stepped forward and nodded. "Indeed, this young man is quite greedy for wealth and profit. One should not associate too closely with such a person."

The Three Holy Mother retorted, "Who wants to get close to him? I just wanted to inquire about Second Brother’s situation, that’s all."

Then she added, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to stay here a moment longer."

After finishing, she looked towards Yunlou and said, "Isn’t that right, Sister Yunlou?"

However, Yunlou disagreed. "No, General Sha Chen is a hero of great righteousness, valuing relationships and honor. He only seeks to survive in this dog-eat-dog world."

"He can’t leave this place, so apart from asking for some money or valuables, he has no other choice. Therefore, he’s compelled by his situation, not genuinely obsessed with wealth and profit."

The Three Holy Mother was dumbfounded.

Boss Yuan was dumbfounded as well.

Yunlou had just been tricked by Sha Chen, and they had spoken up for her, only to be refuted and chided by her. This baffled the Three Holy Mother and the rest, leaving them feeling somewhat frustrated. After all, they had spoken for Yunlou’s sake, yet Yunlou had turned around to defend Sha Chen. It was as if they had tried to do a good deed only to end up feeling tricked.

Yunlou looked at the Three Holy Mother and said, "San Niang, you should go back and prepare the resources. Otherwise, he will not meet with you." Read complete versıon only at novel•fire.net

The Three Holy Mother replied, "I won’t indulge him. He wants benefits? I adamantly refuse to give them."

She then picked up the Treasured Lotus Lantern and said, "If he refuses to see me, I will force my way in to see him and see what he has to say about it."

Yunlou’s expression shifted slightly. "If you act so recklessly, you’ll have to face the consequences."

Then she turned and left.

Sha Chen’s refusal to see her made Yunlou unhappy and feel wronged, but she blamed her own family for the entire situation. Sha Chen was also cornered, and since it was her Li Family that had erred first, she couldn’t really blame him. The fact that Sha Chen refused to marry her left her deeply aggrieved and heartbroken. However, she didn’t believe the problem lay with her and Sha Chen; rather, it was her father’s and brothers’ fault. Therefore, she planned to go back and cause trouble for Li Jing, Jinzha, and Muzha, intending to make them experience the frustration of "crying, causing a scene, and threatening suicide."

Yunlou turned and left without further delay.

The Three Holy Mother furrowed her brows, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided she could take a chance. After all, the changes in Yang Jian had been too great, and she had to know the truth; otherwise, she would remain restless. Sha Chen refusing to see her and being evasive at this moment was something she found unbearable. Thus, forcing her way in seemed inevitable.

The Three Holy Mother declared, "Boss Yuan, I intend to force my way in. You all should leave now to avoid getting dragged into this."

Boss Yuan replied, "San Niang, if you have decided to take action, then it is our concern as well. We can’t just stand by and watch you make your move."

"Sha Chen has his skills, and we brothers have some abilities too. With me being a Daluo Golden Immortal, we can somewhat contend with Sha Chen." He patted his chest and said, "The others are all peak-level Greater Primordial Golden Immortals, stronger than you. They can protect you while you use the Treasured Lotus Lantern to break through the Flowing Sand River and force Sha Chen out. It will be no problem at all."

The third brother said, "That’s right, San Niang. We’ve watched you grow up; we can’t possibly ignore your troubles."

The fourth brother added, "Absolutely! Moreover, Second Master is our brother. His matters are our matters."

The brothers each voiced their opinions, indicating that none would leave.

Boss Yuan continued, "San Niang, don’t worry. Since you’ve decided to act, we will support you. Taking down Sha Chen won’t be a big issue. Although we brothers may not match up to Second Master, even he didn’t find it easy to defeat us back in the day."

"Now, with your Treasured Lotus Lantern and us brothers working together, even if Sha Chen had three heads and six arms and powers that reach the heavens, he wouldn’t stand a chance of coming out on top."

Hearing their words, the Three Holy Mother felt more confident and nodded faintly.

Indeed, with my strength and the Treasured Lotus Lantern, even Second Brother might not dare to confront me easily. With several brothers protecting me, Sha Chen is surely in for a rough time.

"Dear brothers, please lend me your aid."

Then, she positioned the Treasured Lotus Lantern in front of her, unleashing its brilliant light, and her eyes became sharp as well. Her whole being was shrouded in divine light.

The Meishan brothers also drew their Magical Tools and surrounded the Three Holy Mother, manifesting their true forms. Each revealed their demonic true forms, their bodies embodying the Law of Heaven and Earth, tall and robust like mountains. Holding their Magical Tools, they seemed to support the heavens above, exuding a potent aura of immortal and demonic essence, their Divine Power thick and terrifying.

Besides Boss Meishan being a Daluo Golden Immortal, the rest were peak-level Greater Primordial Golden Immortals. All of them were capable of shaking the heavens and dominating the earth, their powers vast and profound. Standing above the Flowing Sand River, they emitted an aura that seemed insurmountable. United, even an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal would hesitate to confront them. In the era of Divine Enthronement, they were all figures of great renown. Now, joining forces against Sha Chen, they were naturally brimming with confidence.

The Three Holy Mother felt the same. She had just descended from the mountain, and though she had only recently become a Greater Primordial Golden Immortal, with the power of the Treasured Lotus Lantern, not even the Meishan brothers would dare claim they could defeat her. Now that she was taking action, with the Meishan brothers as her protectors, defeating Sha Chen seemed like the natural course of action.

Yang Chan shouted again, "Sha Chen, I don’t want to be your enemy, but you’ve forced my hand, and now I must act!"

"First, I’ll destroy your cave abode, then we’ll talk!"

The Treasured Lotus Lantern shone brightly, on the verge of exploding with brilliant divine light.

The Flowing Sand River instantly churned into terrifying waves, like a mighty river, crashing towards the Three Holy Mother.

The six Meishan brothers all chuckled.

Boss Yuan said, "Such childish tricks! Daring to show off your meager skills before an expert? Watch as I reverse the cosmos!"

He was a white ape, endowed with some spatial translocation Divine Powers. Tossing his Magical Tool toward the Flowing Sand River, he then bellowed, "FREEZE!"

The Flowing Sand River was truly frozen in place.

Boss Yuan triumphantly said, "It’s said that the Flowing Sand River is more treacherous than the Milky Way, where goose feathers cannot float, yet it seems to be nothing special."

The others also laughed heartily, praising Boss Yuan’s immense Divine Powers, superior to those of the past.

The Three Holy Mother also felt much more at ease and grew more confident.

If Boss Yuan can render Sha Chen helpless, so can I.

Continuing to chant the incantation, the Treasured Lotus Lantern suddenly shone with resplendent light.

The Flowing Sand River calmed. Then, the water seemed to turn red, and a mist began to rise. Flames suddenly soared to the sky, parting the great river. Great flames flew out from the bottom of the Flowing Sand River, like world-destroying magma, annihilating everything in their path.

HUM.

The fire spread far and wide, and the Three Holy Mother and her companions were enveloped in the great blaze, as if they were about to perish within it.

Boss Yuan, terrified, exclaimed, "It’s actually Samadhi True Fire! And such powerfully fearsome flames!"

"He can spout Samadhi True Fire from within the Flowing Sand River? Such horrific fire control abilities!"

The other brothers were terrified, screaming continuously as they used their Divine Powers to fend off the Samadhi True Fire.

The third brother said, "Big Brother, we can’t hold on any longer! The Samadhi True Fire is too strong. We can only block it for a moment; afterwards, we fear we’ll be reduced to ashes!"

Boss Yuan’s face also changed dramatically. Seeing his brothers’ protective divine light vanishing and them about to perish, he felt desperate. At this moment, the Treasured Lotus Lantern suddenly erupted with a dazzling absorptive force, instantly drawing away all the Samadhi True Fire that filled the sky.

Boss Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, dripping with cold sweat.

The Three Holy Mother’s divine light shone brightly, but her breathing became heavy. Using the Treasured Lotus Lantern to absorb and suppress such potent Samadhi True Fire was incredibly taxing. She had expended a lot of mental energy and had almost been unable to suppress it.

The Three Holy Mother said, "Boss Yuan, you all step back. I can only hold on like this three times at most; after that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you."

Just then, the doors of the Flowing Sand River Cave opened wide. A desolate aura emanated from within, then a giant hand stretched out! The hand reached out to smack Boss Yuan and the others away. Normally, Boss Yuan and the others, their forms embodying the Law of Heaven and Earth, would tower like mountains, but in front of this giant hand, they still seemed as trivial as dust.

THWACK!

Without any power to resist, they were directly smacked away, disappearing without a trace.

The Three Holy Mother was both shocked and furious, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Fire within the Treasured Lotus Lantern about to be unleashed to burn Sha Chen to ashes. But at that very moment, a gale started to whip up from within the Flowing Sand River, at first like a gentle breeze, then turning into a fierce storm.

WHOOSH!

The Three Holy Mother was blown away in an instant. She was protected by the Treasured Lotus Lantern; otherwise, the Gang Wind would have injured her. Even without injury, with the Three Holy Mother’s ability, she still could not harness the Treasured Lotus Lantern to stop her momentum, and she was helplessly blown far away without pause.

「Inside the Flowing Sand River Cave.」

Sha Chen put away the Plantain Fan, his expression calm with a faint smile.

Three Holy Mother? If it weren’t for Nuwa’s sake, daring to make a fuss before me, attacking my Flowing Sand River over and over, I would have killed you.

Sha Chen certainly had no inclination to show mercy to women. If anyone dared to make a move against him, whether man or woman, he treated them all the same: one punch, one kill. The reason he hadn’t killed or even injured her was only out of respect for Nuwa. He couldn’t ignore it; a Saint’s influence was too great.

Having dealt with these matters, Sha Chen proceeded to retrieve the Eight-Treasure Water Tower, a structure that Lord Yuan Shi had forged from Gong Gong’s arm bone. It was immensely powerful, containing endless water source power and a pool of divine water.

Just by taking out the Eight-Treasure Water Tower and setting it alongside the many palaces, it towered into the clouds, standing out among the palaces like a central hall.

The spider spirits were already up, albeit a bit disheveled. They now came forward, chirping and asking about the situation.

Sha Chen said, "I’ve driven the people away. This is the Eight-Treasure Water Tower, which probably contains divine water inside. I plan to draw it out to irrigate the fields."

The spider spirits’ eyes lit up.

Seventh Mother said, "Big Brother, we haven’t bathed for a long time, and we love bathing most. How about we use some to irrigate the fields and draw some for us to bathe with?"

Sha Chen said, "That can be done."

The spider spirits immediately cheered and began to prepare for their bath.

Seventh Mother said, "Big Brother, we’re dirty and plan to wash up. Do you want to join us? We can scrub your back."

Sha Chen flatly refused.

Scrub his back? It seemed they wanted to scrub something else entirely, and he had no desire to have his iron rod ground into a needle.
