Lin Ze's pupils shrank when he saw this. Wherever the Confucian Sage's big hand touched, the invisible ripples caused by the mark of the corner of Heaven were smoothed out.
In addition, Lin Ze clearly sensed that the connection between him and Tiandao instantly became much weaker, as if the signal was blocked.
One of the unique methods of a saint is to replace the way of heaven with his own way within a certain range.
Once enveloped by the Saint's Way, except for the Saint Realm and the few third realms of Heavenly Beings that have half-stepped into the Saint Realm, the ordinary Heavenly Realm will become like ordinary people.
This is also the fundamental reason why Lin Ze has the blessing of heaven and is invincible in the saint realm, but he cannot even withstand the power of a saint's blow.
The saint only needs to cut off Lin Ze's connection with the way of heaven, and then he can crush him to death with his backhand.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that a saint cannot replace the way of heaven with his own way for a long time. Once the way of heaven discovers that the destined person has died in the hands of a saint, it will not only reduce his luck, but also give him a daunting divine punishment.
The big attack was about to come in a moment. Lin Ze took advantage of the fact that he still had some contact with Tiandao and retreated frantically, trying to avoid the attack.
But if the Confucian sage takes action, how can Lin Ze, a half-hearted heavenly being in the third realm, be able to avoid it? Especially Lin Ze will not be able to borrow the power of heaven.
Just as the big hand was about to catch Lin Ze, a big fish with an illusory body swam through the gap between his fingers and escaped with Lin Ze.
At the critical moment, Zhuang Zhou still took action. Even if Lin Ze tried to commit suicide one after another, he could not sit back and watch Lin Ze die in the Confucian Sage.
Although the Confucian sage might not kill Lin Ze, Zhuang Zhou couldn't afford to gamble.
After all, Zhuang Zhou promised Lin Ze that he would protect him in front of the saint, and he also promised the Taoist saint that he would do his best to protect Lin Ze.
The big hand failed to hit the target and immediately collapsed into nothingness.
The Confucian sage's indifferent voice sounded: "Zhuang Zhou, do you want to stop me?"
Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly and said: "The Confucian sage forgives me, but I am a young and ignorant fellow. If I have offended you in any way, I hope that the Confucian sage will forgive me and forgive me."
The Confucian sage stood up from the cloud bed and walked towards Zhuang Zhou: "You are young and ignorant? In front of me, you hurt Confucian disciples one after another. Is this ignorant?"
Zhuang Zhou protected Lin Ze and retreated slowly, trying his best to keep the distance between him and the Confucian sage. He smiled reluctantly and said: "Junior brother Taoist is only twenty-seven years this year. He is still three years away from the Confucian sage who said he would be thirty years old. Isn't it possible?
Aren’t you young and ignorant?”
The Confucian sage continued: "It doesn't matter that you are young and ignorant, but if you do something wrong, you must learn a lesson to avoid falling into the devil's path in the future."
Zhuang Zhou frowned and then returned to normal: "What the Confucian sage said is absolutely true. The poor Taoist is about to take his junior brother back to the Taoist palace to accept the teacher's punishment."
The Confucian sage suddenly stopped and said in a cold tone: "Zhuang Zhou, are you using Master Li to suppress me?"
Zhuang Zhou also stopped, shook his head and said: "Confucian sage, please don't misunderstand me. Pindao has no such intention. Pindao just feels that as a direct disciple of the Tao Palace, Junior Brother Pindao should have a teacher to discipline him."
"As for my junior brother who killed the Confucian disciples and injured the three sages Meng Ke, Pindao apologized to the Confucian sage on behalf of his junior brother. Please rest assured that Confucian sage, Pindao will truthfully convey these things to the teacher. Pindao believes that the teacher will handle it impartially and give the teacher
Confucian sages and Confucianists should give an explanation."
The Confucian sage shook his head: "Master Li has always liked peace and quiet, so why bother him with such a trivial matter? I, as the owner of the suffering, can just handle it on my behalf."
Zhuang Zhou shook his head again: "The Taoist palace can be reached in an instant, and it doesn't take much time. Teacher Kuang has always loved the poor Taoist junior and is absolutely willing to discipline him."
The Confucian sage's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and he said in a quiet tone: "You want to leave? But have you left yet?"
Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly and said: "Pindao has always been careful to stay outside the scope of the Confucian Sage Avenue. I think I can still leave."
The Confucian sage chuckled: "Really? Can you take a closer look?"
Zhuang Zhou's intuition was dazzled. The Confucian sage who was thousands of meters away from him suddenly appeared ten meters away.
Zhuang Zhou's expression suddenly changed, and he turned into a golden-winged roc, carrying Lin Ze on his back, and spread his wings to fly.
I saw the Confucian Sage stretching out his right hand, through the layers of void, grabbing one of the claws of the Golden-winged Dapeng. No matter how hard the Golden-winged Dapeng struggled, it couldn't get away.
The Confucian Sage snorted coldly, pulled the Golden Winged Dapeng and Lin Ze who was on the Golden Winged Dapeng and threw them to the ground. There was a "bang" and the two of them exploded into the air.
At the same time, the figures of Zhuang Zhou and Lin Ze appeared thousands of meters away.
The Confucian sage asked calmly: "When did the golden cicada start to shed its shell?"
Zhuang Zhou replied honestly: "From the beginning."
A sneer appeared on the corner of the Confucian sage's mouth: "Has the shelling really been successful?"
Zhuang Zhou's face changed slightly, as if he felt something. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was gray. Obviously this was not the normal human world, but the world of Confucian sages.
Zhuang Zhou's face turned ugly: "When did the Confucian sage drag Pindao and his junior brother to this world? Pindao remembers that he never followed your way."
The Confucian sage said calmly: "From the very beginning, when I returned from overseas, I created such a world to imprison those who have committed bad deeds and do not want to repent."
Zhuang Zhou bowed his hands and said: "The Confucian sage's cultivation is so great that the poor Taoist admires me. I wonder what the Confucian sage plans to do with the poor Taoist and his junior disciples?"
Lin Ze stood next to Zhuang Zhou and was stunned for a while.
Is this the real battle between the third level of the top gods and the saints?
There was no fireworks in the whole process, and the winner was already decided without even seeing any sign of taking action.
Sure enough, Zhuang Zhou was a parallel importer. If he wasn't sure that the Confucian sage would not easily kill him, how could he dare to take the risk and let Zhuang Zhou protect him?
The Confucian sage said calmly: "Lin Ze first killed a Confucian disciple, and then injured one of my direct disciples. I want to take him to Huijixia Academy and teach him for ten years to temper his violent spirit."
"After ten years, the feud between him and Confucianism has been wiped out, and he can leave Jixia Academy at any time and live a free life."
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly: "Ten years is too long. Not only the poor Taoist and junior disciples, but also the teacher will not agree."
The Confucian sage replied domineeringly: "As long as someone goes to Jixia Academy, it's a done deal. Even if Master Li doesn't agree, there's nothing he can do."
"Zhuang Zhou, give up your resistance, lest I take action and suffer a lot in vain."
Zhuang Zhou looked resolute and said: "I hope the Confucian sage will forgive me. Junior brother cannot let you take him away."
The Confucian sage frowned slightly and said, "Just you?"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "Of course it's not a poor Taoist. A poor Taoist asks himself that he is not the opponent of the Confucian sage, so how can he dare to speak nonsense in front of the Confucian sage?"
"and you?"
Zhuang Zhou continued with a smile on his face: "The poor Taoist knew that he was not necessarily the opponent of the Confucian sage, so he urgently contacted the teacher. The teacher took action. What did the Confucian sage think?"
As soon as Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, a flawless white jade Ruyi suddenly squeezed out of the gray sky, shrouded Zhuang Zhou and Lin Ze in it, and led the two of them into a white light and flew out of the sky.
The Confucian sage's face darkened: "Since Master Li is here, why not show up and see him?"
