Three Quasi-Sages in One Family, Duke of the East's Fear!

Until Jie Yin and the other two completely disappeared from sight.

The Celestial Court remained deathly silent!

The crowd naturally didn't believe Jie Yin and Chen Ku's words.

But without any evidence, they couldn't very well make accusations.

What's more, the Old Toad Ancestor was lying in wait, intending to harm Jie Yin and the others, making him the guilty party.

Beside Duke of the East, the Yellow Springs Daoist came back to his senses and said in a deep voice:

"Why didn't we forcibly detain those three, Jie Yin and the others?!"

The Yellow Springs Daoist asked with some surprise.

Without a doubt, they were also extremely covetous of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's Primordial Purple Qi, as well as the Spiritual Treasures in Chen Ku's hands.

Moreover, the Yellow Springs Daoist naturally thought that they were stationed here to detain Jie Yin and the others.

Most importantly, there were more than a dozen top experts on the Celestial Court's side.

In the Yellow Springs Daoist's view, even if Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were powerful, could they really stand against more than a dozen mighty figures on their side?!

No matter how tough they were, how many nails could they crush?!

But earlier, Duke of the East's behavior had been too polite.

This left the Yellow Springs Daoist puzzled and furious!

Hearing his words, Duke of the East glanced at the Yellow Springs Daoist meaningfully, and then said:

"As far as I know, the Linglong Ancestor and five other mighty figures joined forces earlier, wanting to seize Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's Primordial Purple Qi."

"And the Old Toad Ancestor also harbored resentment, which is why he was lying in wait in the Chaos, wanting to seize an opportunity."

"However, now Jie Yin and the other two have returned safely."

"Presumably, those six mighty figures have either died and vanished, or have been dealt with by Jie Yin and the others using unknown means."

"Before we figure out the reason, we must not act rashly."

As Duke of the East spoke, a hint of apprehension couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

In fact, the Linglong Ancestor and the others' previous plan couldn't be called too secretive.

Therefore, Duke of the East was also aware of it.

The reason he was waiting here was precisely to see if the Linglong Ancestor and the others could succeed.

But he didn't expect that what he ultimately waited for was the safe return of Jie Yin and the other two.

This made his heart sink, unable to understand how Jie Yin and the others had escaped the siege of six Quasi-Sages.

Hearing his words, the Yellow Springs Daoist asked again:

"Then what should we do now?!"

In response, Duke of the East only looked deeply in the direction of the Outer Chaos Domain, and continued:

"Wait!"

"Let's wait for the Old Toad Ancestor to return, and everything will be clear!"

Leaving aside the Linglong Ancestor and the others, Duke of the East had no doubt that as long as the Old Toad Ancestor hadn't died, he would definitely find this place.

However, everyone waited for a long time, until they showed impatience and anxiety.

But the Old Toad Ancestor's figure never appeared!

Even when Duke of the East extended his divine sense and sensed in every possible way, he couldn't find the Old Toad Ancestor's aura.

Gradually, Duke of the East's heart became heavier and heavier!

"Damn it!"

"Could it be that they have all been wiped out?!"

Even if Duke of the East was unwilling to accept it, he couldn't help but come up with such a guess.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Celestial Court experts changed drastically.

It should be known that in today's world, there are only ten thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and even fewer Quasi-Sage experts.

Now, six Quasi-Sages have all been buried in the Outer Chaos Domain?!

This was too shocking, even sensational!

Everyone's hearts were filled with unease, was provoking Jie Yin and the others really a good thing for the Celestial Court?!

Of course, everyone didn't know that the Old Toad Ancestor and the Corpse Puppet Daoist were both killed by Chen Ku alone.

Otherwise, if they knew such inside information, everyone present would probably be even more shocked and terrified.

The Yellow Springs Daoist was immediately furious.

"What?"

"So, Fellow Daoist Golden Toad was killed by Jie Yin and the others?"

"If that's the case, how can we just let this go?!"

The fall of a Quasi-Sage is a tremendous loss for the Celestial Court.

Moreover, Yellow Springs Daoist and Old Toad Ancestor were quite close on normal days.

Therefore, he was now consumed with rage, even appearing ready to seek revenge against Jie Yin and the other two.

Duke of the East didn't even turn his head, but he already understood Yellow Springs Daoist's thoughts.

He sternly warned, "Do not act rashly!"

After a pause, he continued thoughtfully, "Earlier, the aura of that Chen Ku kid was unusually strong, already reaching the Quasi-Sage realm."

"Right now, the Western Sect has three Quasi-Sages; they are definitely not an easy bunch to deal with."

"What's more, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, possessing the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become Saints."

"If we become enemies with them, once those two become Saints, then for our Celestial Court..."

Indeed!

Earlier, Duke of the East had already discerned the strength of Chen Ku's aura, which had completely entered the Quasi-Sage realm.

Three people in one sect, each a Quasi-Sage, each capable of standing alone!

Even if the Celestial Court were to attack them, it wouldn't be easy to win.

Duke of the East didn't finish his sentence, but everyone already understood his implied meaning.

Offend two future Saints?

The thought alone made everyone's scalp tingle and their hearts pound.

And some of the weaker Celestial Court cultivators' expressions changed, alternating between green and red, their unease overflowing.

After he spoke, Lord of the Clouds on the other side also thoughtfully said, "Emperor Donghua is right!"

"Right now, our Celestial Court is already irreconcilable with the Witch and Demon Clans, and a war could break out at any time."

"Offending Jie Yin and Zhun Ti would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire."

"Without absolute certainty, it's best to avoid provoking those three from the Western Sect as much as possible."

Emperor Donghua was the respectful title used by the Celestial Court for Duke of the East.

Lord of the Clouds' considerations were also quite comprehensive.

Hearing these words, the originally aggressive Yellow Springs Daoist reluctantly restrained his aura, but the look in his eyes towards the Western Sect was still filled with resentment.

Then, Lord of the Clouds sighed with disappointment.

"It's a pity... that Queen Mother of the West is unwilling to join our Celestial Court."

"Otherwise, with the male and female leaders of the immortals gathered together, it would surely attract more strong individuals to join our ranks."

"The Celestial Court would also be even more powerful and unmatched, why would we be so timid and hesitant?!"

Lord of the Clouds looked towards West Kunlun.

That was where Queen Mother of the West's Daoist temple was located.

When the Celestial Court was first established, Duke of the East had gone to West Kunlun to invite Queen Mother of the West to join the Celestial Court and jointly rule over the world's cultivators.

However, Queen Mother of the West, perhaps because she was a woman, didn't care about worldly prestige or fame.

Therefore, she politely declined Duke of the East's invitation, only wanting to be a solitary cultivator, and didn't participate in the power struggles of any faction.

Hearing these words, Duke of the East couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.

"This matter... can only be left for future planning."

"If there is an opportunity, I will visit West Kunlun again, and see if I can persuade Queen Mother of the West."

Right now, the third lecture had just ended.

Everyone still needed to return and retreat to digest the gains from listening to the lecture.

And the Spiritual Treasures they had just obtained also needed to be refined to remove the innate restrictions and so on.

Therefore, the matter of persuading Queen Mother of the West couldn't be rushed.

At this time, Old Toad Ancestor still hadn't returned.

Needless to say, everyone already understood in their hearts.

Finally, with a heavy look at the Outer Chaos Domain, everyone stopped talking.

With an order from Duke of the East, the Celestial Court immediately turned around and left, heading back to Mount Penglai in a mighty formation.
