Just as Chu Hao was having a lively chat with Our Lady of Wudang, he suddenly noticed the outer edges of Penglai Island beginning to shimmer again.
Three beams of light, red, white, and green, flew over from the distance.
Our Lady of Wudang was stunned when she saw these three beams of light, her eyes filled with shock.
"Wait, these three lights are..."
Before they arrived, their voices preceded them.
A chorus of loud shouts came from afar:
"Senior Sister Wudang, we're back!"
Three beams of light, purple, white, and blue, suddenly arrived before Our Lady of Wudang and Chu Hao.
As they stood still, tears streamed down Our Lady of Wudang's face.
"Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao... How did you come here?"
Standing before Our Lady of Wudang were the Three Xiao Maidens, the elite disciples of the Jie Sect's outer sect, and the younger sisters of Zhao Gongming.
The Three Xiao Maidens were utterly loyal to the Jie Sect. They served the Jie Sect alongside Our Lady of Wudang in the past, and they persevered until the very end, even daring to challenge the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning with their bodies as Golden Immortals of the Great Luo.
It was just a pity that the fates of the three were not pleasant.
Yunxiao was captured by Laozi using the Qiankun Diagram and suppressed beneath Qilin Cliff.
Qiongxiao was struck in the head by the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning with the Three Treasures Jade Scepter and died.
Bixiao was turned into blood by the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning using a magical artifact (a jade box) and died.
In the end, their true spirits were sealed on the Investiture of the Gods, never to leave their positions for all eternity, imprisoned in the Heavenly Court for who knows how many years.
There was a time when Our Lady of Wudang thought she would never see the Three Xiao Maidens again, but she never expected to encounter these three adorable junior sisters again on Penglai Island today!
"Senior Sister, we've missed you so much!"
The Three Xiao Maidens rushed to Our Lady of Wudang, sobbing like children.
Our Lady of Wudang also hugged them and wept bitterly. Only after experiencing great ups and downs did she realize how precious these junior sisters were.
Chu Hao smiled gently beside them. Although they were all esteemed Golden Immortals of the Great Luo, they were very genuine, unlike those in the Western Sect, who were all cold-blooded and ruthless, with great compassion being synonymous with great evil.
Our Lady of Wudang suddenly remembered something and looked at the Three Xiao Maidens, asking anxiously:
"Weren't you sealed by the Investiture of the Gods? Why are you able to descend to the mortal realm? Did something major happen in the Heavenly Court?"
The Three Xiao Maidens shook their heads.
"It's not that something happened in the Heavenly Court, but that we had a benefactor's help."
The Three Xiao Maidens turned to look at Chu Hao and bowed respectfully, saying in unison:
"We thank Your Excellency, the Law Enforcement Prison God, for helping us escape the Investiture of the Gods. Your kindness is akin to a second life. If Your Excellency needs anything, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The Three Xiao Maidens' etiquette was quite grand, but it was because Chu Hao had helped them too much.
"Released from the Investiture of the Gods?!" Our Lady of Wudang was incomparably shocked, looking at Chu Hao in amazement.
Chu Hao chuckled. "That's right! It's a long story. Simply put, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and Ao Lie had rebellious intentions and were caught by me on the spot, so I sent them to the Investiture of the Gods."
"As a replacement, I chose five people to be released from the Investiture of the Gods, and the Three Xiao Maidens are three of those spots."
The Three Xiao Maidens and Our Lady of Wudang were incredibly surprised.
"Why would Your Excellency, the Prison God, save us? We have no way to repay you.", Yunxiao Fairy asked.
Chu Hao smiled. "We are from the same sect. Who else would I help if not you?"
The Three Xiao Maidens were astonished.
Our Lady of Wudang saw how surprised the three of them were and couldn't help but chuckle. As expected, it wasn't just her who couldn't accept this reality.
Soon, with Our Lady of Wudang's explanation, the Three Xiao Maidens accepted the reality that they had gained a senior brother amidst shock.
That's right, a senior brother.
Back then, the Tongtian Sect Leader had taken Chu Hao as a closed-door disciple, declaring that he would be of the same status as the first-generation disciples.
Of the four great direct disciples, the Duobao Daoist had transformed into the Tathagata, and the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit had been completely devoured by Mosquito Daoist, her body and spirit extinguished.
Chu Hao was of the same status as the first-generation disciples, so for the current Jie Sect, besides Our Lady of Wudang, Chu Hao had the highest seniority.
The Three Xiao Maidens were shocked for a while before saying:
"To think that after the Master's Conferred God Tribulation and being sealed in the Zixiao Palace, he would manifest for the sake of Senior Brother. Unprecedented."
"So our second senior brother is the Heavenly Court's powerful minister who holds sway over the court, the Three Realms Law Enforcement Prison God?! How fortunate!"
Chu Hao quickly waved his hand. "No, no, don't call me Second Senior Brother. It sounds like a pig... Just call me Chu Hao."
They chatted for a while longer.
Our Lady of Wudang asked, "Chu Hao, you came to find me and rescued the three junior sisters from the Investiture of the Gods. I imagine there is something very important you want us to do?"
The Three Xiao Maidens immediately stepped forward and said in unison, "As long as Senior Brother gives the order, we will die without hesitation!"
Chu Hao's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Do I look like the kind of person who casually asks you to die without hesitation? Live well, the Jie Sect will still need you in the future."
Chu Hao's words revealed a hint of information, causing the four women to sense something unusual.
"So what exactly is it?" Our Lady of Wudang asked seriously.
Chu Hao didn't say much, but directly said:
"Actually, the main reason for bringing everyone here is that I plan to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm within the next few days, but the West will inevitably try to assassinate me, so I need everyone to protect me."
The four women were startled and only then did they probe Chu Hao's aura.
When they sensed Chu Hao's vast and boundless magic power, the four of them were stunned.
The Three Xiao Maidens were incredibly surprised.
"So you're only a Golden Immortal of the Taiyi realm. If you hadn't said so, I would have almost thought you were already a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"Yes, Senior Brother Chu's aura is so profound. Whether it's his primordial spirit or his physical body, they both give me a sense of pressure. I'm afraid that within the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, no one can match Senior Brother."
"The West is so shameless, they have long regarded Senior Brother as a thorn in their side. We will definitely protect Senior Brother well! It's just that..."
Yunxiao's face was filled with melancholy, "It's just that after being sealed for so many years, we have already fallen from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and are only in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. But Senior Brother, don't worry, we will definitely protect you, no one can harm you!"
Our Lady of Wudang's eyes were filled with pity. Being sealed on the Investiture of the Gods for so many years had caused them to fall directly from the Great Luo realm to the Taiyi realm. This was a reality that would be difficult for anyone to accept.
However, Chu Hao smiled slightly.
"Naturally, there's no need to worry about that. I have a gift to give to the three junior sisters, consider it a meeting gift."
The Three Xiao Maidens looked puzzled.
A meeting gift?
What could be so mysterious?
Chu Hao calmly took out a pill from his body.
The moment they saw the pill, the eyes of the Three Xiao Maidens and Our Lady of Wudang went wide!
Even with their experience, they were disturbed when they saw this treasure.
The four women shouted in unison, shocked,
"Nine Revolutions Great Luo Golden Pill!!"
