Ch. 261Tian Ni's Actions
Daoist Shichen’s scheme to take the Southern Red Emperor Sword unraveled when Saint Envoy Yangyan and the others abandoned their secret arrangement and joined Venerable Ziming. After the outsiders killed the Taowu Ancestor, Beast Emperor Tian Ni used the crisis at the Heavenly Pillars to strip the Four Fierce Beasts of their guarding duties.
- Daoist Shichen warned Venerable Ziming that the Taowu Ancestor had arrived, but the Taowu Ancestor struck Ziming before he could react.
- Saint Envoy Yangyan and the other four arrived after breaking the Southern Heavenly Pillar’s formation, and Yangyan told Ziming they would each take one Chaos Spirit Treasure.
- Venerable Ziming concealed his anger and joined the group as the six killed the Taowu Ancestor and Saint Envoy Yangyan took the Southern Red Emperor Sword.
- Taowu God saw the Taowu Ancestor’s death and called for a truce, warning that outsiders were invading the Heavenly Pillars.
- The Qiongqi Ancestor revealed that Most Evil Qiongqi had been slain, and Taowu God reported that the Taowu Ancestor had also fallen.
- Beast Emperor Tian Ni invoked his authority to remove the Four Fierce Beasts from guarding the four poles, provoking their furious protest.
