You Think I'd Stand for This?

This is just a remote mountain range, not particularly rich in Spiritual Qi, and without any special rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It's not exactly unremarkable in the East, but it's not a very special place either.

If we exclude the mythical beasts that inhabit this place, then that is indeed the case.

The mythical beasts in this valley developed into a tribe.

The tribe's members were all black and white, round, ferocious beasts.

That's right, these beasts, relying on cuteness to survive is their degenerated form. They are still High Antiquity beasts, the Iron-Eating Beasts who will make a name for themselves in the future.

As ferocious beasts, they are naturally not gentle, but they also do not like to fight. They usually feed on special refined iron ore in the mountains.

They lived a simple life, owning a house and fields, enjoying boundless happiness. But who knew that Zhun Ti and Jieyin would be so arrogant and ruthless.

Indeed, the two uninvited guests who broke this tranquility were the future Western Saints, shameless individuals who constantly complained about being poor and were regarded as a disgrace to Sage.

You can't call them shameless, because to them it's a compliment; after all, being shameless still means having some sense of shame.

From above, Xiang Dong saw a shiny bald head and another bald head with fleshy bumps on it. With such distinctive features, it was hard to mistake one for the other.

When Xiang Dong realized that these two were the Two Saints of the West, he was still wondering to himself, after all, these two idiots were creatures from the Western lands, how did they end up in the East?

On second thought, oh right, the West is now the stronghold of the Devil Ancestor Luohou, and also the main battlefield of the Demon Dao struggle. They probably can't survive in the West anymore.

Xiang Dong even suspected that they might have sided with Luohou.

After all, many of the methods used by Buddhism in the future are quite similar to those used by the Demon Dao path. It is said that the eight hundred unorthodox sects are based on the Demon Dao Cultivation Method's techniques and have modified them. They have the ability to bewitch people and change their thoughts, but they call this "conversion".

However, even two Great Unity Golden Immortals cannot get involved in a battle between Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, and they are not suitable to join the Ten Thousand Demons Formation.

So they must have been rejected and had no choice but to come to the East to beg for alms.

But if you're going to leech off others, why pick on the weak? Bullying a small tribe that barely has any Taiyi Golden Immortals, and what's more, it's... an iron-eating beast?

Can Xiang Dong? He certainly won't tolerate it in the slightest. How dare they bully the ancestors of our national treasure? He's determined to take action today.

"Xuehuang, go downstairs. I need to take care of this."

"Yes!"

Xuehuang did not try to dissuade Xiang Dong, although in her opinion it was not a big deal.

In the primordial world, strength reigns supreme, the law of the Primordial World prevails, and killing for treasure is the dominant theme.

Since Xiang Dong wanted to get involved, she would play along to the end, though she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Our benefactor is just too kind-hearted!

As Xuehuang plummeted, she released her aura, the aura of a peak Great Unity Golden Immortal, instantly enveloping the entire valley.

The two bandits, who were frantically sweeping through the area, paused in their actions. When they saw the snow-white Phoenix that blotted out the sky, their expressions changed.

"Why would Great Unity Golden Immortal from the Phoenix Clan appear here? Could it be that the Phoenix Clan is related to the creatures of this tribe?"

Zhun Ti frowned, somewhat worried. Although they were also at the peak of the Great Unity Golden Immortal, the Phoenix Clan was, after all, a powerful clan with a deep foundation, and not to be trifled with.

There were only two of them, and they weren't even native to the East. Their actions were somewhat overstepping boundaries, and they weren't in the right to argue about it.

Fortunately, there was only one opponent, so it was two against one, and they were confident of victory.

And what was that on her back? A being of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

When they sensed Xiang Dong's aura, which was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, Zhun Ti and Jieyin both doubted whether they had sensed it wrong. They looked at each other, and both could see shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

But their intuition was definitely correct; the other party was indeed only at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Why would the proud Phoenix Clan, peak-level Great Unity Golden Immortal, humble themselves and become the mount of a Taiyi Golden Immortal? This shocking fact makes them wonder if it's a distortion of humanity or a moral decay.

"Senior brother, this..."

"Wait and see how things develop; caution is paramount."

As the senior disciple guiding him, he needed to be more composed and cautious. Although he couldn't deduce the reason, he knew that this matter was definitely not simple.

"Zhun Ti, Jieyin?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you recognize us?"

The two met for the first time, but Xiang Dong revealed their real names in one sentence, which made them even more convinced that this Taiyi Golden Immortal was definitely not a simple being.

"You two are really shameless, treating Dongfang like your own backyard, eating and taking things as you please. Do you really think Dongfang is deserted?"

Xiang Dong's words left the two men with rather interesting expressions, their faces turning red and then pale.

The main reason was anger. After all, they were peak Great Unity Golden Immortal, while Xiang Dong was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. What difference was there between Xiang Dong's words and pointing his finger at Zhun Ti and Jieyin and cursing them?

Jieyin could still tolerate it, but Zhun Ti could no longer hold back, and his face darkened.

Even clay figures have a temper; they have their pride.

"Fellow Daoist, my senior brother and I are only being polite to you out of respect. If you continue to be so aggressive, then don't blame us for being impolite."

"Hmph, you dare to lay a hand on the master? That would be to make an enemy of the Phoenix Clan."

Xuehuang snorted coldly and released her aura, deflecting Zhun Ti's oppressive aura.

The auras of two Great Unity Golden Immortals collided, and a great battle seemed imminent.

The terrifying aura frightened the iron-eating beasts in the valley into huddling together.

They do not want a major war to break out, after all, this is their home, and if they really start fighting, it will inevitably cause huge destruction, and the aftermath of the battle will also cause considerable casualties.

The strong don't care about the thoughts of the weak, nor do they consider the survival of the weak; that's not their concern.

Zhun Ti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, already preparing to make their move.

So what if it's the Phoenix Clan? You were indeed a powerful force in the past, but times have changed, and the Phoenix Clan is no longer as glorious as it once was. Moreover, the Phoenix Clan still has a lot of karmic burdens from the Heavenly Dao Karmic Force.

As long as the two brothers act cleanly and leave no trace, who would know that they were the ones who did it?

Even if the Phoenix Clan learns of Xuehuang's death, they wouldn't be able to mobilize their entire force to hunt down the two of them throughout the entire Primordial World.

Just as a life-or-death battle at the level of Great Unity Golden Immortal was about to erupt, Xiang Dong stepped forward and protected Xue Huang behind him.

His action stunned not only Xuehuang, but also Zhun Ti and Jieyin.

Is this Taiyi Golden Immortal truly fearless? He reached into his pocket—what was he going to pull out?
