This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 605: Chapter 420: Has Celestial Master Xu Become An Immortal?

“What’s going on?”

With Xu Yang’s Wu City-accented “What’s going on?” the heavily dignified presence of Lord Thunder seemed at a loss, and he remained silent for three seconds before speaking, “Celestial Master Xu, you have violated the Heavenly Law by attacking the ghost market of the mortal world, leading to the Lord of the Huai River Ghost Market going to the Heavenly Court and striking the Injustice Drum.”

“His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is furious and has specially ordered me to bring down heavenly punishment as a warning to others!”

“Celestial Master Xu, do you admit your guilt?”

“…”

Xu Yang, speechless for a moment, complained, “In the ghost market, various spirits mingle, and many fierce ghosts run and hide there after committing crimes, with ghost officials and grim reapers having their hands tied by rules and unable to catch them. They can only watch as the wrongdoers go free in the ghost market and then wait for them to commit crimes again and run back to the ghost market to hide, right?”

Above the immortal cloud.

Lord Thunder put away the decree and smiled bitterly, “Celestial Master Xu, this heavenly rule is set by Emperor Dongyue himself, and we are just following the Heavenly Law. So what do you think, should we bother finding a more secluded place and let me strike you down a few times, just for appearance’s sake?”

“???”

Xu Yang was stunned.

Not only him,

Behind him, Wang Hou, Grandmaster Chengming, Master Huiyuan, the heads of various sects, and the Daoist sect leaders who came out of the funeral are all dumbfounded…

“… Amitabha.”

Master Huiyuan recites the name of the Buddha and lowers his voice to ask Celestial Master Zhang Jiyu of Dragon Tiger Mountain, “Celestial Master Zhang, do you guys from the Daoist sect not even bother concealing that you’re bending the rules? Is this how you punish Celestial Master Xu for breaking the Heavenly Law?”

Zhang Jiyu rolls his eyes and whispers, “Master Huiyuan, don’t slander others. It’s Celestial Master Xu and the Jingming Sect who are bending the rules… in our Dragon Tiger Mountain line, we never take shortcuts.”

Master Huiyuan: “Heh.”

What is your Dragon Tiger Mountain [Heavenly Master’s Mansion] situation, is there no one aware of your backdoor dealings?

Meanwhile, Xu Yang said, “Isn’t it just a heavenly punishment? You can do it right here, we’re still discussing business.”

Lord Thunder, with a bitter smile, said, “Celestial Master Xu, please move a bit… the power of the heavenly punishment is too great. I’m afraid it will harm ordinary people in Wu City.”

Only then did Xu Yang jump up and fly out of Wu City, landing on a small hill.

“I have checked with my divine thoughts, there is no one within thirty li around this small hill, we can proceed.”

Whoosh!

Above the immortal cloud, Lord Thunder and Lightning Goddess transformed into lightning and fell.

Lord Thunder smiled apologetically, “Celestial Master Xu, please don’t hold a grudge, we are just following orders… of course, His Majesty also said just to go through the motions, no need to be serious.”

He took out a pill and said, “Celestial Master Xu, this is the Lightning Avoidance Pill. After taking it, you will be immune to heavenly thunder for half an hour.”

The Lightning Goddess took out a jade bottle and said, “This is celestial dew, Celestial Master Xu can use it to take the pill.”

Xu Yang took the Lightning Avoidance Pill, put it in his mouth, took a sip of celestial dew to send the pill into his stomach, and immediately felt a strange power spread from within his body…

That power was very peculiar, invisible and intangible, but it could be felt as if it formed a layer of “horny insulating film” covering his body.

Lord Thunder asked, “Celestial Master Xu, are you ready?”

Xu Yang nodded.

Lord Thunder and Lightning Goddess exchanged glances, transformed into lightning again, flew back to the immortal cloud, and shouted at the hill below, “Celestial Master Xu, I’m about to strike!”

He turned his palm over, took out the Thunder God’s Hammer, held the hammer in one hand and the chisel in the other, and slammed down fiercely.

The Lightning Goddess held a treasure mirror in her hand.

This mirror is called the “Qianyuan Mirror”, a truly remarkable treasure. With a flash of the mirror, it can release lightning, split mountains and shatter rocks, with immense power!

In an instant, thunder roared, and purple lightning illuminated the night sky. Thunderbolts as thick as water buckets fell from the sky, bombarding Xu Yang.

“Holy shit!”

Xu Yang was taken aback.

The mere power of the heavenly punishment’s arrival made his scalp tingle and his heart tremble with fear, giving him an urge to flee.

However, before he could escape, he was already engulfed by the purple lightning.

Boom!

The purple lightning instantly enveloped the entire hill, spreading in all directions. In an instant, an area of twenty li centered on the hill turned into a vast sea of thunder.

From afar.

Wang Hou and others watched this scene with a shudder in their hearts.

“Amitabha!”

“With such a terrifying power, can Celestial Master Xu really survive?”

Master Huiyuan sighed.

Even though they knew that Xu Yang had a strong “backstage” and probably would be fine, seeing the incredible power of the heavenly punishment still scared them!

Under the heavenly punishment, Xu Yang, who’s going through a different experience,

At the center of the heavenly punishment, he could feel the terror of the punishment even more than Wang Hou and the others.

However, the power of the heavenly punishment did not affect him at all.

“This Lightning Avoidance Pill is really amazing.”

With a sigh in his heart, Xu Yang couldn’t help but think, “It seems that the heavenly punishment won’t end for a while, so I might as well take advantage of this time to practice a bit, and improve my understanding of the rules of the Thunderbolt.”

With that thought, he immediately sat cross-legged and opened the system attribute panel in his mind.
