Indeed, it was disdain. One had to remember, they were the Three Pure Ones. Even if Yuanshi couldn't defeat two at once, he could certainly suppress them!
After all, the Two Saints of the West lacked innate supreme treasures!
At this very moment, Tongtian was already rushing over. This time, he was determined to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and thoroughly humble the Two Saints of the West! They had been too arrogant, causing trouble incessantly!
Taiqing Laozi harbored the same thought. Where did these two rascals get the audacity to face the three of them! Just he himself could beat them both until they called him father. Now, they thought they could do as they pleased by ganging up on Yuanshi!
The speed of a Saint was considerable. Moreover, Yuanshi could still hold them off fighting two on one!
At this time, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances. Their time was running out. If all Three Pure Ones arrived, they honestly didn't know if they could even move, let alone resist if the Three Pure Ones dragged them into the chaos!
Now, they would make the Three Pure Ones pay the price!
With that, the two of them attacked Yuanshi together!
Yuanshi took out the Pangu Banner, a look of disdain on his face. You might have the numbers now, but my brothers are coming soon, and they'll finish you off!
As the chaotic sword energy appeared, Jieyin and Zhunti ignored it, allowing the sword energy to strike them as they inflicted damage upon Yuanshi!
Yuanshi was furious. Were these two trying to humiliate him today?
Tongtian, who had arrived first, immediately unleashed the four pieces of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, ready to deal with Jieyin and Zhunti!
As Tongtian set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Jieyin and Zhunti had already charged towards the great earth. Placing their hands on the ground, a vast expanse of earth veins began to explode, with the tendency to spread further!
Yuanshi and Tongtian were stunned. What were these two doing? Detonating the earth veins? Did they not want to live?
Taiqing Laozi, who had also arrived, was taken aback, then roared, "Quick, save the earth veins!"
Then, Taiqing Laozi quickly beckoned, and a Creation Green Lotus and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda flew out from within him, covering Zhunti and Jieyin respectively!
At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin were unusually calm, saying indifferently, "It's too late. We've already made our arrangements!"
As expected, the earth veins of the Great Desolation exploded and cracked simultaneously. An entire continent of Great Desolation actually split into four pieces!
Countless beings were shocked by this scene, and simultaneously, countless lives were lost, and resentment filled the air!
Even those engaged in battle at Xiqi were stunned. They all retreated, looking on in disbelief!
At this, Taiqing Laozi understood the intention of these two Saints. They were gambling with their Sainthood!
Indeed, in the sky above, a giant single eye appeared. Then, Tongtian's Chaos Bell flew out automatically, as did Taiqing Laozi's Taiji Diagram. A golden bridge stabilized the Great Desolation, while the Chaos Bell suppressed the wind, water, fire, and earth!
Heaven's will had intervened!
An old man manifested, none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian exchanged glances and said, "Master!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed and looked at the restrained Western duo, saying indifferently, "Was it worth it?"
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and remained silent!
Hongjun waved his hand, and the two of them instantly vanished, their whereabouts unknown!
Then, Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones again and said, "From henceforth, no Saint shall venture forth upon the Great Desolation! Those who violate this decree shall have their Sainthood stripped and be banished to the mortal world! All Saints shall establish their dojos beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven!"
With just one sentence, Yuanshi and Tongtian stood stunned. They finally understood the intentions of Jieyin and Zhunti. They were willing to sacrifice their Sainthood to drag the Three Pure Ones down with them!
This ruthless?
Then, the two of them looked at their elder brother. No wonder their elder brother didn't become a Heavenly Dao Saint. Now, their elder brother had attained enlightenment by severing the three corpses and was not a Saint, so Heaven's will couldn't control him!
"Taiqing Laozi! You'd best be careful!" Hongjun looked deeply at Taiqing Laozi and uttered this sentence!
Indeed, Taiqing Laozi was not a Heavenly Dao Saint, and Heaven's will truly couldn't reach him!
However, Hongjun's subsequent words held deeper meaning!
Taiqing Laozi remained silent, closing his eyes in deep thought. He had never expected things to escalate to this point!
At this moment, in the Asura Realm, Minghe flew out cursing incessantly. Indeed, he could come out, but he had to establish a dojo outside the Thirty-Third Heaven. Damn it, he wouldn't be able to roam freely below anymore, which was incredibly frustrating. He had already cursed Jieyin and Zhunti to the heavens!
Nuwa was also unsettled at this moment. They had said they would only drag the Three Pure Ones down, but Taiqing Laozi was unscathed, while all the Saints were implicated?
Although Nuwa's Wa Huang Heaven was already beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven, she wouldn't be able to go out anymore. What was the difference between this and being imprisoned or under house arrest!
At this moment, Nuwa deeply regretted her actions!
These lunatics, the West truly were lunatics!
As for Jieyin and Zhunti, they were currently suppressed in Zixiao Palace. Hongjun appeared before them and threw out two pills of Saint Annihilation. The two of them readily consumed them!
They had long anticipated this outcome and had no regrets!
It was only a pity that Taiqing Laozi, who had attained enlightenment by severing the three corpses, would not be severely controlled by Heaven's will, allowing Taiqing Laozi to make arrangements from afar. This would create many unforeseen circumstances for the future prosperity of the Western religion!
Fortunately, before they left, they had made all their arrangements. From now on, it would be up to fate!
"Elder Brother, I entrust my disciples to your care!" Tongtian said with a sigh!
"Elder Brother, mine as well!" Yuanshi was even more dejected. These two lunatics had dragged all of them Saints down with them; their hearts were truly wicked!
Taiqing Laozi nodded!
Afterward, the two of them also flew towards the Thirty-Third Heaven!
Li Er, in Huoyun Cave, did not go to establish a cave dwelling but continued to suppress Huoyun Cave. Heaven's will did not trouble Li Er either, as he was permitted to remain as long as he did not leave Huoyun Cave.
Taiqing Laozi retrieved his magical artifacts and arrived at Xiqi. He glanced at Xuandu, reached out, and grabbed, drawing the Seven Arrows Book of Nail-Head directly towards him. Accompanying it was one soul and one spirit of Xuandu, which he sent into Xuandu's body. Only then did he sigh and return to Shouyang Mountain!
As for the Seven Arrows Book of Nail-Head, he took it with him directly!
Xuandu awoke slowly and, upon hearing everything Guangchengzi said, was stunned. Had the West become so insane?
But now that a great calamity had descended, they could only temporarily halt their conflict and stabilize the Great Desolation first!
In the Heavenly Court, Hao Tian almost burst out laughing. So many Saints were gone in one fell swoop, leaving only Taiqing Laozi. At least things would be easier for him!
After all, on a Great Desolation with Saints, it was hardly his place to rule!
As for the Investiture of the Gods, haha, he, Hao Tian, no longer cared much. After all, there was no better news than this. Now that the leaders of the Chan and Jie sects were in the Thirty-Third Heaven, could he not do something?
