A Chain of Vicious Schemes, Tongtian's Disappointment

Ah?

Ah???

Laozi's expression froze, as if he hadn't understood what the Dao Ancestor had said.

Tongtian, being very kind, spoke up from the side.

"Brother, the teacher said he wants you to go and oversee the Demon Race clan."

Laozi face has turned black!

I have heard you clearly; I don't need you to remind me!

Laozi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Although he and his companions were discussing the matters between the Witch-Demon and demon races here, they felt it was a very good opportunity.

But it would be really difficult for him to get involved in the affairs of the Witch-Demon and demon races!

The karmic force contained within these immeasurable Tribulation is something that would make even Sage wary!

I've racked my Laozi trying to figure out why the Dao Ancestor would send him to oversee things.

Hongjun asked with a cold expression and a completely calm voice.

Is there something troubling you?

Laozi shivered and bent down to speak.

"Master, I have little connection with that Demon Race. Wouldn't it be full of loopholes if I went to oversee Demon Race?"

As Laozi pleaded his case, the expressions of the Primordial Being and the Two Sages of the West also changed.

If Laozi manage to shirk my responsibility, won't this job fall to them?

Hongjun, whose disciples were watching him with great tension, remained unfazed and continued speaking.

"It won't be riddled with flaws; your going is actually quite convenient."

Hongjun explained to Laozi, who was looking at him with disbelief.

"There's a reason why only you can oversee that Demon Race."

"Don't forget, your Taiji Sect Dao lineage needs to be spread."

Laozi's complexion was already comparable to that of Zhunti; there was no need for him to rush to spread his Dao lineage.

As he was lost in thought, filled with bitterness, he heard the voice of the Dao Ancestor.

What I just described is only one aspect of the reason.

Secondly, none of your junior brothers are suited to interact with the Demon Race.

Primal beings naturally despise those born from wet eggs, covered in fur and with horns; going to the Demon Race would only increase their hatred.

Jieyin and Zhunti had once usurped the position of the Demon Master Kunpeng, and they had also severely humiliated the Demon Race in the Hong Yun incident, so it was not suitable for them to go to the Demon Race.

As for Tongtian, let's not even mention him!

So after a while, Lao Laozi became the most suitable candidate.

"Furthermore, the Fortune of this Demon Race..."

After receiving a telepathic message from the Dao Ancestor, Laozi's thoughts also changed.

He then bowed down in front of everyone and spoke to Hongjun.

"Please rest assured, teacher, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Seeing that Laozi had accepted the task, everyone else relaxed.

Jieyin then spoke up.

"With my Laozi brother Laozi in charge of the Demon Race clan, we don't need to worry about anything else."

Yuanshi and Zhunti nodded, Tongtian, not understanding why, also nodded.

Hongjun shook his head and said...

"It's not enough for just you and your Laozi brothers; the rest of you also need to contribute."

What Hongjun wanted was for the Witch-Demon and Yao races to fight until they lost their minds, fought until they went mad, and fought until the entire Primordial World trembled!

Not some petty squabble like you poking me and I bumping into you!

Having understood the meaning of the Dao Ancestor, Zhunti recalled something he had heard before.

"In that case, I do have a solution."

"That Demon Emperor Dijun, had previously fathered ten sons, whom he honored as the ten crown princes of the Heavenly Court, and he cherished them dearly."

Once Zhunti this, the others roughly understood what he meant.

Tongtian sensed something was amiss and asked.

"Could it be that you intend to emulate the Demon Ancestor Luohu, murdering those ten children and then framing the Witch Clan?"

Tongtian's words were like stabbing a knife into Zhunti's throat!

Luohu's deeds in the Western Paradise are something that Jieyin and Zhunti a grudge against!

Tongtian said this, he was essentially categorizing them into one group.

This disgusted Zhunti greatly!

However, Tongtian's words were not entirely definitive, so they couldn't immediately lose their temper.

Jieyin a bitter smile and began to speak.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, you've misunderstood my junior brother."

"How could he possibly imitate the actions of that Demon Ancestor Luohu?"

"My junior brother only heard that the Demon Emperor Dijun has been keeping his ten sons confined to the Fusang Tree, preventing them from going out."

"I just wanted those ten children to come out and see the scenery of this Primordial World!"

As for what impact those ten Little Golden Crows will have on the Primordial World, and what they will encounter as a result.

That's something that neither Jieyin and Zhunti can guarantee!

None of those present were fools, and their methods of calculation were all highly skilled.

After following the Jieyin and conducting some deductions, I finally understood what was going to happen!

Laozi also said with a smile.

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has lost ten sons, and the Witch Clan has lost its Great Shaman. What a clever scheme."

He spoke calmly, his expression indifferent.

"Brother, you're mistaken. The Witch Clan lost more than just one Great Shaman."

The Great Shaman who murdered the ten sons of the Heavenly Emperor will surely face extremely severe retribution.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, and both ended up in this predicament because of the other!

The Witch-Demon and Demon races really have no choice but to fight each other!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes and looked at the Two Sages of the West with a strange gaze.

"Since this method was proposed by the two of you, then let the two of you carry it out."

Unlike Laozi Tzu, who declined the offer, Jieyin and Zhunti calmly accepted the task!

This is a good opportunity!

Both of them, who had always harbored the idea of revitalizing the Western Paradise, never let any opportunity slip by!

Seeing that everyone decided the Fate of others with just a few words, Tongtian felt that this was very inappropriate.

He stood up abruptly and looked at the Dao Ancestor, saying...

"Since the goal is to complete this over countless Tribulation, isn't it acceptable to use any method?"

"In order to plot against others, they've dragged innocent children into this mess!"

Among the Sages, Tongtian's character was a breath of fresh air!

Be straightforward and speak your mind!

With a sword in hand, why bother with all those scheming things?

It could be said that Tongtian's unwillingness to scheme was one of the reasons why he failed in his later Investiture of the Gods!

Hongjun remained calm; Tongtian's reaction was exactly what he had expected!

His disciple was excellent in every way, except for his temperament. If he weren't exceptionally strong, he simply wouldn't have been able to survive in the Primordial World.

Hongjun, who had a premonition, didn't react, but the others thought differently.

Laozi and Yuanshi looked at Tongtian with disappointment in their eyes.

Every single thing they're scheming today is for the sake of future development!

Pangu Three Pure Ones ultimately became one!

They should be of the same blood and lineage!

How could such a disruptive situation as Tongtian still occur?

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun harbored disappointment towards Tongtian.

Tongtian was also somewhat disappointed in his two elder brothers.
