Although Taiqing Laozi was the leader of Sanqing and had the Exquisite Sky Suppressing Pagoda to protect him, he did not dare to use his own body to resist Taichi's claw. He did not have Menglin's strong body, nor was he as crazy as Menglin.
No matter how good the Bell was, it was not worth mentioning compared to his own life. If he lost his life, everything would be over.
Under such circumstances, Taiqing Laozi had no choice but to give up this great opportunity to take the Bell.
Taiqing Laozi had probably forgotten that the Bell was originally Taichi's treasure. It was normal for Taichi to take back his treasure!
Unfortunately, Taiqing Laozi did not think so at this time. He had already hated Di Hao and Taichi to the core. It was because of their sneak attack that he missed such a great opportunity!
Hua Xi and Ling Wa could stand in front of Shangqing Tongtian when they saw that Di Hao and Taichi were in danger. But now, they did not want to do so anymore!
Hua Xi and Ling Wa looked at each other and then tacitly moved away, no longer confronting Shangqing Tongtian. They had betrayed Di Hao and Taichi. Their retreat had caused Di Hao to fall into a trap.
It was because of Di Hao's intervention that Menglin had the opportunity to seriously injure Yuanshi. How could Shangqing Tongtian not be angry? Since it was related to Yuanshi's life, Shangqing Tongtian attacked with a killer move. Two Sword Qi slashed towards Menglin and Di Hao.
Shangqing Tongtian's sudden attack made Di Hao and Taichi's hearts sink. Then, they became dissatisfied with Hua Xi and Ling Wa.
They had helped to the end. Why did Hua Xi and Ling Wa stop halfway? Weren't they tricking them? They had made them happy for nothing.
Not only were Di Hao and Taichi upset, Menglin was also furious. Shangqing Tongtian's intervention had interrupted his attack to kill the Yuanshi, causing his plan to fail.
Earlier, Menglin had no choice but to give up on the Bell of Heaven and Earth because of the sneak attack from Laozi Tai Qing. Now, Shangqing Tongtian's attack had caused him to fail in his attempt to kill Laozi Tai Qing. How could he not be angry?
Unfortunately, being angry was useless because the opportunity had been completely lost. Although it was only a matter of an instant, an instant was enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
When Menglin heavily injured the Jade Clear Primeval, the enraged Heavenly Dao once again sent down the Purple Eerie Heavenly Lightning.
However, it was blocked by the power of Sky Pillar Mountain, which was controlled by Pangu's remnant will.
Boom!
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, Menglin and the others were not injured by the Purple Eerie Heavenly Lightning, but the aftershock of the lightning sent them all flying.
It was unknown whether it was the will of the heavens or Taichi's luck that the Bell of Heaven and Earth was sent to Taichi's side under the aftershock of the lightning, allowing him to regain it.
"Bastard!"
When they saw that Taichi had taken back the Bell of Heaven and Earth, both Menglin and Laozi Tai Qing were cursing in their hearts. They had done all they could, but it was all for nothing.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the void froze!
A powerful force appeared out of nowhere and froze Meng Lin, Three Pure Ones, and the others on the spot. They couldn't even muster the slightest bit of strength to resist and could only stand there in a daze like wooden puppets.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun finally made his move.
He controlled the entire situation as soon as he made his move. The power of the Jade Plate of Fortune forcibly isolated the power of Sky Pillar Mountain and Heavenly Punishment Heavenly Lightning.
What was even more incredible was that the Jade Plate of Fortune seemed to be absorbing and devouring these two forces at the same time to strengthen itself.
"Disperse!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun shouted, and the sea of lightning that gathered above Sky Pillar Mountain quickly dispersed.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sudden intervention made Sanqing and the others unhappy, but they were unable to resist the suppression of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's power.
Meng Lin was unwilling to accept the fact that he had paid such a huge price just to become famous!
Sanqing was even more so. He had also paid a heavy price. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also got into trouble. Di Hao and the Taichi brothers were the same as Sanqing.
As for Hua Xi and Ling Wa, they did not get any benefits. Sanqing was dissatisfied with them, and so were Di Hao and the Taichi brothers. The only one who was not affected was Huang Yun.
Although Taichi was unwilling, he was still satisfied. At least he had taken back the Bell of Mystery and did not let this treasure be taken away.
Di Hao said in a low voice, "Brother, that bastard Menglin didn't refine the Bell of Mystery and Yellow, did he? Is there anything wrong?"
Hearing Di Hao's words, Taichi sank his mind into the Bell of Mystery and Yellow. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Fortunately, Menglin's Primordial Spirit is not in the Bell of Mystery and Yellow!"
Taichi did not know that the Pan Clan did not have a Primordial Spirit. Even if Menglin wanted to refine this treasure, it was absolutely impossible for him to imprint his Primordial Spirit in the Bell of Mystery and Yellow like Taichi, because he did not have a Primordial Spirit.
Taichi was too careless. He only cared about checking the internal space of the Bell of Mystery and Yellow, but he did not notice that the blood on the surface of the Bell of Mystery and Yellow was gradually disappearing. To be more precise, it was being absorbed by the Bell of Mystery and Yellow. It was Menglin's blood.
This was one of the last tricks Menglin had left for himself. It was also the last trump card he used to scheme against the Bell of Mystery and Yellow: blood sacrifice.
It was almost impossible to refine the Bell of Mystery and Yellow with one's own blood!
First of all, as a Primordial Treasure, the Bell of Mystery and Yellow could not be successfully refined by ordinary practitioners no matter how much essence and blood they had.
Second of all, if any practitioner lost a large amount of essence and blood, it was equivalent to losing the foundation of martial arts and the origin of the body.
No matter how good the Spirit Treasure was, no one would do such a stupid thing.
But Menglin was different.
As a descendant of Pangu's blood, Menglin was qualified to use the Bell of Mystery and Yellow. Moreover, in the previous confrontation, Menglin had been forced to explode all the essence and blood of Pangu in his body. A part of it turned into pure energy that helped Menglin get through the crisis, while the other part was absorbed by the Bell of Mystery and Yellow.
But in terms of bloodline, Menglin was no longer a member of the Pangu Clan, because he had lost the essence and blood of Pangu.
At this moment, Menglin's body could be said to be on the verge of collapse.
But Menglin's eyes were fixed on the Bell of Mystery and Yellow in Taichi's hand.
He really wanted to get the Bell of Mystery and Yellow, but the current situation seemed to be very difficult. No matter if it was Sanqing, Di Hao, Taichi, or even Tao Ancestor Hongjun, they would not let him succeed.
Moreover, if he attacked Taichi at this time, he was afraid that Sanqing, Di Hao, and Taichi would immediately attack him crazily. Without the support of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, he could not fight against five people alone. Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan.
Although he could not get the Bell of Mystery and Yellow, Menglin did not want to miss the Primordial Spirit Treasure that was about to appear in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
Although Tao Ancestor Hongjun's power had suppressed the situation in a flash, he had paid a great price.
Moreover, Tao Ancestor Hongjun had never expected that an accident would happen after he had paid a great price to drive the Jade Plate of Fate to suppress the situation.
