Chapter 289: Chapter 253, Shi Ji Overlooks Chentang Pass Swoosh~ A sharp flash of light streaked by, and a maid on the left was instantly repelled and nailed to the mountain with a thud, fresh blood trickling down the stone. Another maid hurriedly ran into the cave mansion, crying out in panic, "Not good, my lady, not good, Bi Yun has been shot with an arrow." Shi Ji strode out from within the cave mansion, saw the impaled Bi Yun, and trembled with rage, anger surging to the Spirit Platform as she shouted furiously, "Who is it?" Boom boom boom~ A giant ape stood up from behind the mountain, akin to a small mountain itself, with a Golden Hoop on its head and an iron rod in hand, gazing toward the Western direction. Shi Ji reached out and grabbed, and the long arrow that nailed Bi Yun was suddenly shot out, landing in Shi Ji’s hand. Shi Ji held a Seal in her hand and pointed at the long arrow, which zoomed off westward with a whoosh. Engulfed in rage yet retaining some sanity, Shi Ji remembered her Daoist Brother’s prior instructions and immediately cried out, "Wuzhiqi, follow me!" Wuzhiqi’s figure rippled, vanishing into the space. ... Atop Chentang Pass’s city tower, Nezha continued to string his bow and shoot arrows, this one firing toward the South, a flash of arrow light streaking across the South. Nezha laughed heartily, holding the long bow, and said with great satisfaction, "This arrow is really good." Suddenly feeling a chill at his back, he hastily shifted and swapped places, and bang~ a long arrow pierced through where Nezha had previously been, sticking on the city wall. Nezha turned around and bellowed angrily, "Which sneak thief dares to ambush me?" Whish~ A gust of wind rose Between Heaven and Earth, bringing with it dark clouds that shrouded the skies above Chentang Pass. Li Jing and the officials of Chentang Pass came out of their residences one after another, looking at the changing sky with very solemn expressions, while countless townsfolk also buzzed with discussion. A middle-aged man anxiously said, "Commander, what’s happening?" Li Jing flew up into the air, standing above Chentang Pass, and called out loudly, "Which expert has come to Chentang Pass? Please show yourself." "Li Jing!" A grand voice resonated in the sky. Shi Ji, wearing a White Bone Magic Crown and a Bone Spirit Robe, walked with long steps from the Eastern direction, her demeanor cool and aloof. However, seen by the people below, Shi Ji—adorned in bones—appeared exceptionally horrific and evil, like a demon, causing instant chaos in Chentang Pass as countless people frantically fled, banging into their own homes. Nezha, engulfed with anger, yelled, "You fiend, you dare to sneak attack me, die!" His feet standing on Wind and Fire Wheels and wielding the Fire-tipped Spear, he charged at Shi Ji. Li Jing urgently called out, "Nezha, stop!" Shi Ji felt a sudden uncontrollable fury within her, raised her finger, and the dark clouds in the sky swirled to form a giant skull head, which lunged towards Nezha with an open mouth. Nezha shouted, "You think you can bite me? I’ll smash your skull head first." Nezha shot straight up at the skull head, and boom~ a massive explosion sounded in the sky, a dark figure with trailing fire, like a meteor, plummeted from the high sky, bang~ crashing into the city, burrowing deep into the ground, the surrounding stone pavement instantly upturned. Li Jing’s expression stiffened; although his child often caused trouble, his skills were indeed terrifying, but now he proved no match in a single encounter. Li Jing took a deep breath and respectfully said, "Fairy, from which immortal abode do you come? Why have you come to Chentang Pass?" Shi Ji reached out and grabbed, and the Sky-shattering Arrow embedded in the city wall instantly flew out, tossing it casually, the Sky-shattering Arrow flew towards Li Jing and hovered in front of him. Shi Ji said in a cold voice, "Is this something from your Chentang Pass?" Li Jing’s complexion changed, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Heaven-shattering Arrow!" The Heaven-shattering Arrow still bore bloodstains, clearly having claimed a life not long before. Piecing together the current situation and the terrifying fairy who had come knocking, Li Jing knew all too well what had transpired. Within Chentang Pass, besides himself, the only one capable of drawing the Sky-shattering Bow was Nezha. Li Jing’s face turned particularly unpleasant as he angrily said, "This unfilial son." Shi Ji said coldly, "Li Jing, your son has wantonly slain my Child, how shall this matter be settled?" Li Jing’s expression shifted, and he slowly bowed and knelt midair, kowtowing as he beseeched, "Li Jing has failed in his paternal duties and is willing to repay a life for a life. I implore the fairy to spare my wretched child." The officials of Chentang Pass all cried out in alarm, "My Lord!" The people of Chentang Pass too stepped out from their homes one after another, looking up at the sky as they called out, "My Lord!" "My Lord, you must not die!" "My Lord!" "My Lord!" ... Nezha crawled out from the ground and looked up at the sky, crying out incredulously, "Father!" Lady Yin also soared into the sky, kneeling beside Li Jing, hastily entreating, "Fairy, this is not my husband’s fault, he is preoccupied with military affairs and cannot attend to matters at home. It is I, I am the one at fault for not teaching my child properly. I beg the fairy to spare my husband and child, I am willing to offer my life in compensation." Below, Nezha was instantly enraged, shot into the sky, and with a swipe of the Qiankun Ring, a silver light streaked towards Shi Ji as he bellowed furiously, "Dare to coerce my father and mother, meet your death!" Li Jing suddenly looked up and yelled, "Nezha!" Shi Ji sternly shouted, "Still acting violently!" With a flick of her sleeve, a white light streaked across, and in an instant, the void froze; Nezha too was frozen amidst the Mystic Ice, suspended mid-leap, clutching the Qiankun Ring, his expression fierce. Ever since following Bai Jin, with endless resources for cultivation, Shi Ji’s cultivation was far beyond what was described in the legends of her past life. She had stepped into the Daluo Realm tens of thousands of years ago. Had Lingzhu Zi been in his prime, he might have been a match for her, but now there was a vast difference. Shi Ji, looking at the frozen Nezha, said, "Young in age yet so vicious, what would become of you if you were to grow up? Today, I shall resolve you and let you be reborn sooner, to properly cultivate in your next life." A sword materialized in her hand. Lady Yin screamed, "No!" "Stop!" A loud shout resounded in the sky as numerous strands of horsetail whisk fibers descended from the sky towards Shi Ji. Shi Ji’s expression changed dramatically, and her figure hastily retreated, leaving an afterimage as she reappeared a hundred miles away. The whisk strands swept over the Mystic Ice which shattered with a bang, freeing Nezha who immediately soared into the sky, leaving the area of icy confinement and looking up, joyfully crying out, "Master!" Li Jing and Lady Yin also looked up to see an old Taoist standing above the cloud head, holding a horsetail whisk. Nezha immediately tattled, "Master, this vile old woman wants to kill your disciple." Taiyi True Man said, "Junior Sister Shi Ji, bullying the weak with your strength, is this the style of the Jie Sect?" Shi Ji replied coldly, "Daoist Brother, what our Jie Sect adheres to is the word ’justice’. In cultivation, we value justice, and wrongdoings must be punished. Nezha relied on divine weapons and sharp arrows to kill my Bright Pearl Child, and still sought to harm me using magic treasures. Today’s matter with him cannot be settled easily. Daoist Brother, please hand over Nezha to me. Let’s still be able to look each other in the face; everything will come to rest. If Daoist Brother continues to protect him, I fear that trying to hit a sparrow with pearls will end up being an unseemly affair."
