Chapter 68 The Lord of Xikunlun, the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi
at the same time.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Woman has arrived in the Jade Pool Immortal Realm.
The Jade Pool is as smooth as a mirror, and the green grass is as lush as a carpet.
After passing through layers of pavilions and towers shrouded in mist, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden finally arrived at the outside of a residence.
After straightening her clothes and composing herself, she walked into the hall.
Upon entering the main hall, one sees a woman seated gracefully atop auspicious nine-colored clouds.
The woman's face was beautiful and refined, as if she had gathered the essence of heaven and earth; her skin was as white as jade, with a faint glow.
Its entire body is surrounded by innate Daoist energy.
The flowing robes are adorned with depictions of mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars.
While possessing a gentle and graceful demeanor, she also exudes an air of authority.
If she isn't the Queen Mother of the West, who is she?
"Greetings, Master!"
Upon seeing the Queen Mother of the West, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully to her.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West slowly opened her eyes.
"Um?"
After a brief examination, she noticed the injuries on the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's body. Her phoenix eyes narrowed instantly, and she asked in a deep voice:
"Who caused the injury?"
Although the Queen Mother of the West spoke softly, her voice was filled with boundless rage.
You should know that this Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is her only personally taught disciple.
Now he has returned, but he is injured.
Injuring her disciple is tantamount to slapping the face of the Queen Mother of the West.
When the Queen Mother of the West inquired about her injuries, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not hide anything and answered directly:
"Master."
"On my way back, I was harassed by people from the Eastern King Duke's Purple Mansion Celestial Court."
Even after revealing their names, those people still wouldn't let it go.
"It was them who injured the disciple."
Thinking of the male immortals in the Purple Mansion Celestial Court, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's eyes were filled with hatred.
At the same time, I felt a little scared.
After all, if they hadn't encountered Niu Ben, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"snort!"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's face darkened, and anger flared within her.
The mere release of his anger was enough to shake the entire Jade Pool.
"well!"
"The Purple Mansion Celestial Court of the Eastern King Duke is truly becoming more and more outrageous!"
"They even dare to touch my disciples."
"I will make sure his Purple Mansion Celestial Court gives me an explanation for this matter in the future!"
The Queen Mother of the West spoke coldly, her anger still simmering.
After the Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished his sermon, he appointed the Eastern King Duke as the head of the male immortals, while she is the head of the female immortals.
The Queen Mother of the West has always kept a low profile in the Jade Pool.
However, the Eastern King Duke was the opposite. Relying on his status as the head of the male immortals, he recruited many subordinates and acted recklessly.
Now, they're even bullying their own disciples! The Queen Mother of the West can't swallow this insult.
Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West was angry, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden quickly pursed her lips and said again:
"Master, there is no need to be angry."
"Those people from the Purple Mansion who were harassing the disciple have all been executed."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West was slightly surprised, but said with satisfaction:
"Well done, disciple!"
"There's no need to be soft-hearted when dealing with people like that."
"Let's see if those people from the Purple Mansion Celestial Court will dare to act recklessly outside again!"
The Queen Mother of the West subconsciously believed that those people in the Purple Palace were killed by her own disciple, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"Master, I didn't kill those people."
Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West had misunderstood, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden quickly spoke up.
"Um?"
The Queen Mother of the West was taken aback and looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with a hint of surprise.
"You didn't kill him?"
"Who is that?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn't hide anything and answered directly:
"It's Fellow Daoist Niu Ben!"
Upon hearing these words from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Queen Mother of the West was taken aback:
"Bullfighting?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded and murmured an 'Mmm':
"This disciple is no match for those male immortals in the Purple Mansion."
"At the critical moment, Fellow Daoist Niu Ben appeared and saved me."
"And they all killed them!"
After the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden explained it this way, the Queen Mother of the West finally understood.
Thinking about it, Niu Ben was quite decisive, daring to kill even a male immortal from the Purple Mansion Celestial Court.
Although somewhat surprised, the Queen Mother of the West did not ask any further questions.
Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West didn't say anything, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden quickly added:
"Master! Fellow Daoist Niu Ben is a disciple of the Supreme Daoist, the head of the Three Pure Ones."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West was immediately taken aback.
"Oh?"
"Is he the eldest brother's disciple?"
She hadn't thought much of it before; even though the other party had saved the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, in her eyes it was just a matter of cause and effect.
Who would have thought that Niu Ben had an extraordinary background, being a disciple of the Supreme Taoist.
This inevitably drew the attention of the Queen Mother of the West.
After all, she and the Supreme Taoist were both students at Zixiao Palace.
Finally, Hongjun Daozu accepted the Three Pure Ones as his disciples. Taishang, as the head of the Three Pure Ones, was naturally Hongjun's first disciple and their senior brother.
Seeing the Queen Mother of the West's surprised expression, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden continued:
"Master."
"At this moment, Fellow Daoist Niu Ben is outside Yaochi."
"He escorted his disciple all the way back."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West came to her senses and smiled, saying:
"If that's the case, then bring him in!"
"Let me see the demeanor of the disciples under my eldest brother's tutelage."
"good!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden responded, and was naturally pleased.
Without further ado, she got up and hurried towards the outside of Yaochi.
Before long, the Nine Heavens Mystic Woman arrived at Niu Ben's location.
At this time, Niu Ben had already used ordinary forging scrolls to upgrade the grade of the Azure Profound Armor.
"The Mystic Maiden has returned."
Upon seeing the return of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Niu Ben said with a smile.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded slightly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"My master asked me to take you inside."
Niu Ben remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.
He was, after all, a disciple of the Supreme Being, and based on that relationship alone, the Queen Mother of the West would certainly not turn him away.
Not to mention, he also saved the life of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
Next, Niu Ben entered the Yaochi Sacred Land under the guidance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
Along the way, they naturally encountered many fairy maidens from the Jade Pool.
The female immortals were all astonished when they saw Niu Ben.
After all, since its creation, very few male immortals have come to this Jade Pool.
"Who is that male immortal?"
"He looks rather simple and honest!"
"Since she's with the Mystic Maiden, she's probably going to see the Holy Mother!"
"..."
The female immortals whispered among themselves, showing great interest in Niu Ben.
After passing through numerous celestial pavilions, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden led Niu Ben into the main hall.
As soon as Niu Ben entered the hall, he saw the Queen Mother of the West sitting on the throne.
"Junior Niu Ben pays respects to his aunt, the Queen Mother of the West."
Niu Ben stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly and said:
"Get up!"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West began to carefully examine Niu Ben.
However, the more she looked at it, the more alarmed she became!
With his cultivation level, he naturally realized that Niu Ben was a primordial demon god.
"What a fine senior brother!"
"They actually took in such a talented disciple."
The Queen Mother of the West sighed inwardly.
Considering Niu Ben's background and qualifications, if she had met him first, she would have taken him under her wing without hesitation.
