Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Kicks Off by Drawing Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal

The very next moment, however, Li Xiao's actions made everyone stare in disbelief.

"What the f—"

Li Xiao seemed startled. Snapping back to reality, he looked at the Primordial Violet Qi in Tongtian Cult Master's hand with disgust. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, this disciple is untalented and unworthy of the Primordial Violet Qi. First Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, and Fourth Senior Sister are all more cultivated than I am and are more suited to inherit it. This disciple..."

What the hell is going on?

He's actually refusing the Primordial Violet Qi?

Others would kill to get their hands on the Primordial Violet Qi, but this guy, Li Xiao, is actually refusing it?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it even if I were beaten to death!

Everyone watched, wide-eyed and dumbfounded, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.

Even Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently. He looked at Li Xiao in disbelief and exclaimed, "Li Xiao, this... this is the Primordial Violet Qi, and you... you don't want it?"

Yunxiao also looked at Li Xiao, completely bewildered, not understanding why he would refuse the Primordial Violet Qi.

I know damn well it's the Primordial Violet Qi! But this thing is a trap! Although it can help one become a Saint, it's like a poison. If I use this Primordial Violet Qi, even if I become a Saint later, I'll be forever controlled by the Heavenly Dao, forever controlled by Hongjun!

My ambitions are grand! I'm going to be the man who surpassed Great God Pangu in the future. Why would I want the Primordial Violet Qi!

Besides, isn't Teacher trying to set me up? Don't you see the wolf-like gaze of First Senior Brother? If I take the Primordial Violet Qi, will First Senior Brother let me off?

Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's thoughts.

Yunxiao turned and looked at Li Xiao with disbelief and shock. Clearly, she hadn't expected the Primordial Violet Qi to have such implications.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, Li Xiao cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master again. "Teacher, this disciple truly feels unworthy of possessing the Primordial Violet Qi. Teacher, please bestow it upon someone else. Hmm, for example, First Senior Brother, or Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, and Fourth Senior Sister..."

"Bestow it upon you? What a joke! Duobao will betray the sect in the future. If I give this Primordial Violet Qi to Duobao Daoist, wouldn't that just add another Saintly enemy to the Intercepting Sect?"

Tongtian Cult Master was furious. He looked at Li Xiao with anger and shock, then flicked his hand, throwing the Primordial Violet Qi towards Li Xiao. He roared, "Hmph, you rebellious disciple! This Primordial Violet Qi is a gift from me. Whether you want it or not, you will take it!"

Fine!

What is going on with these two, Li Xiao and Tongtian Cult Master?

Li Xiao looks at the Primordial Violet Qi like it's a plague god, while Tongtian Cult Master is shoving it into Li Xiao's hands!

What kind of situation is this?

The Immortals of the Intercepting Sect were all dumbfounded, their jaws almost hitting the floor.

Duobao Daoist turned and glared at Li Xiao with malice, gritting his teeth.

Tongtian Cult Master glanced at Duobao Daoist, then looked back at Li Xiao and said sternly, "Li Xiao, this Primordial Violet Qi is my gift to you. If you lose it, or give it to someone else, I'll beat your backside until it's bruised and broken!"

"Uh?"

Li Xiao's old face twitched violently. He could only force a bitter smile, looking at Tongtian Cult Master with a helpless expression, on the verge of tears. "Yes, Teacher!"

You, you, you...

What's with that expression!

Are you that disgusted by the Primordial Violet Qi?

We want it but can't get it, and you're acting like this!

Where's the fairness in that!

The Immortals of the Intercepting Sect looked at Li Xiao's resentful, helpless expression and wished they could gang up and beat him.

Tongtian Cult Master looked at the crowd and waved his hand. "Alright, you can all disperse."

With that, Tongtian Cult Master turned and returned to Biyou Palace.

A flash of malice flickered in Duobao Daoist's eyes. He smiled thinly at Li Xiao and cupped his hands. "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi!"

Although Duobao Daoist was smiling, Li Xiao felt a chill down his spine!

He knew that Duobao Daoist had set his sights on him!

Li Xiao felt like crying but had no tears. He looked at Duobao Daoist with a helpless expression and quickly said, "First Senior Brother, I'm also helpless. Teacher insisted on giving me this Primordial Violet Qi, there's nothing I can do. How about... you take this Primordial Violet Qi, and you..."

I wish I could take it!

But if I did, wouldn't Tongtian Cult Master skin me alive?

Duobao Daoist's old face twitched violently. His gaze, filled with extreme unwillingness, shifted away from the Primordial Violet Qi in Li Xiao's hand. He looked at Li Xiao and said, "Junior Brother is joking. The Primordial Violet Qi was given to you by Teacher, how could I possibly snatch it? Farewell, farewell!"

With that, Duobao Daoist left without looking back.

Only Li Xiao remained standing there, on the verge of tears...

Chapter 34: The Secret of the Primordial Violet Qi

After everyone had dispersed, Yunxiao hesitated for a moment before approaching Biyou Palace. She cupped her hands and said, "Teacher, disciple Yunxiao requests an audience!"

"Enter!"

Tongtian Cult Master's voice came from within Biyou Palace.

At the same time, the doors of Biyou Palace slowly opened.

Yunxiao walked in, and the great gate of Biyou Palace closed again.

Tongtian Cult Master reclined on his cloud bed, raising a hand to stop Yunxiao, who was about to bow. He asked, "Yunxiao, have you heard any useful information again?"

Yunxiao hesitated, then cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master. "Teacher, your disciple overheard Fifth Senior Brother's thoughts. He said that the main culprit who killed Old Ancestor Hongyun was not the demon race, but the two leaders of the Western Sect!"

"Oh? The Two Sages of the West?"

Tongtian Cult Master raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with uncertainty.

After a long pause, a smile spread across Tongtian Cult Master's lips. He chuckled, "That makes sense. Back in Zixiao Palace, Fellow Daoist Hongyun yielded his Saint position to the Two Sages of the West. But they might not have been grateful. They couldn't repay such Heavenly Dao karma, so they had to make Hongyun disappear..."

"Yes, Teacher's guess is correct. Fifth Senior Brother said that the Two Sages of the West disrupted the Heavenly Secrets and prevented Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi from saving him, which led to the fall of Senior Hongyun..."

Yunxiao nodded.

Tongtian Cult Master nodded, looked at Yunxiao, and asked, "Yunxiao, besides this matter, what else did you hear? By the way, why did Li Xiao refuse the Primordial Violet Qi that this humble Taoist offered him?"

Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Teacher, this is what I was going to say. Your disciple overheard Fifth Senior Brother's thoughts. He said that the Primordial Violet Qi is a trap set by the Heavenly Dao to restrain all living beings in the world. If one achieves sainthood by proving the Dao with the Primordial Violet Qi, they might never escape the Heavenly Dao's constraints. Fifth Senior Brother has great ambitions; he wants... to be a man who surpasses Great God Pangu, and that's why he refused the Primordial Violet Qi!"

"Oh, right. Fifth Senior Brother is also afraid of Senior Brother's revenge, so he's a bit hesitant to accept the Primordial Violet Qi!"

Yunxiao added.

Tongtian Cult Master's eyebrows shot up, and he exclaimed, "This... Is there such a saying about the Primordial Violet Qi? Then how can one transcend if they prove the Dao with the Primordial Violet Qi?"

"This... Senior Brother Li Xiao's thoughts didn't mention this!"

Yunxiao grinned.

Tongtian Cult Master's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "That brat wants to be a man who surpasses... Great God Pangu. He must know the method to transcend the Heavenly Dao..."

Yunxiao grinned and remained silent.

Tongtian Cult Master took a deep breath and muttered, "To want to be a man who surpasses Great God Pangu, this brat's ambition is quite grand. He should be able to resolve Duobao's troublesome matter on his own!"

Yunxiao grinned, hesitated, then cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master. "Teacher, if there's nothing else, your disciple will take his leave!"

"Go, guide that rebellious disciple Li Xiao as much as possible and make him reveal the method of transcendence!"

Tongtian Cult Master said, looking at Yunxiao.

"Yes, Teacher. Then your disciple will take his leave!"

Yunxiao cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master and then turned to leave Biyou Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, this humble Taoist Zhenyuanzi pays his respects!"

Just then, Zhenyuanzi the Great Immortal's voice echoed from outside Golden Ao Island.

Tongtian Cult Master hesitated, then said, "Yunxiao, guide Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi to Biyou Palace!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Yunxiao accepted the order, left Golden Ao Island, and saw the anxious Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi waiting. She quickly cupped her hands towards him. "Great Immortal, Teacher invites you!"

"Thank you, Fairy!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi hurriedly cupped his hands towards Yunxiao, then followed her into Golden Ao Island, heading straight for Biyou Palace.

As for the reason for Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's visit to Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master knew it naturally!

He figured that Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi must have suddenly heard that the demon race ambushed Old Ancestor Hongyun and that the Primordial Violet Qi was obtained by Tongtian Cult Master, which was why he rushed to Golden Ao Island to see Tongtian Cult Master.

Upon entering Biyou Palace, Yunxiao withdrew. Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi hurriedly cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Tongtian!"

Tongtian Cult Master lightly supported Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi and looked at him. "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, you've come regarding Fellow Daoist Hongyun's matter, haven't you?"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi nodded quickly and looked at Tongtian Cult Master, asking, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, how is Fellow Daoist Hongyun now?"

Tongtian Cult Master gave a wry smile. "Fellow Daoist Hongyun's origin was injured by the demon race, and he has fallen into a deep slumber. This humble Taoist is nurturing his soul with his magic power, thus preserving him!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's old face twitched violently as he heard this. He exclaimed in shock and anger, "How could this happen? This..."

Tongtian Cult Master sighed. "Alas, that day, I was traveling in the Primordial World when I suddenly saw the demon race surrounding and attacking Fellow Daoist Hongyun. I intervened to save him, but... it was too late. Fellow Daoist Hongyun was already severely injured, his physical body self-destructed, and his primordial spirit was extremely weak, almost extinguished. That's how I managed to save Fellow Daoist Hongyun..."

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi gritted his teeth upon hearing this, roaring, "Damn demon race..."

Tongtian Cult Master hesitated, then looked at Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi. "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, the ones who harmed Fellow Daoist Hongyun were not solely the demon race. There were also..."

"Who else?"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi raised an eyebrow and looked at Tongtian Cult Master, asking.

Tongtian Cult Master replied, "The Two Sages of the West!"

"The Two Sages of the West? This... Why would the Two Sages of the West harm Fellow Daoist Hongyun? Back in Zixiao Palace, Fellow Daoist Hongyun had the kindness of yielding his Saint position to them... Could it be that..."

As Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi spoke, he suddenly thought of the crucial point and became shocked and angry.

Tongtian Cult Master nodded and said with a wry smile, "Indeed, the karma of yielding the Saint position is too great. The Two Sages of the West couldn't repay it, so they thought of a way to make Fellow Daoist Hongyun die and have his karma dissipate. Therefore, when the demon race attacked Fellow Daoist Hongyun, those two acted to conceal the Heavenly Secrets, preventing you, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, from supporting Fellow Daoist Hongyun, which led to Fellow Daoist Hongyun being severely injured and nearly falling..."

"You despicable Two Sages of the West, your hearts are so venomous! Truly inhuman and utterly detestable..."

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi gnashed his teeth in hatred.
