As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone stopped what they were doing in unison, their gazes all fixed on Qin Xuan.
Great shock filled their hearts.
This was too audacious, wasn't it?
This was outside Zixiao Palace!
Under Hongjun's very nose!
He wanted to pack up the entire Treasure Distribution Rock and take it away?
But faced with Qin Xuan and ten Ancestral Witches, each millions of feet tall, it only took a moment before everyone lowered their heads deeply.
Not a single person dared to say, "I object."
In the crowd, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a look, already communicating secretly.
Jieyin said:
"Junior Brother, with Qin Xuan and the Ancestral Witches here, we have little chance of getting anything from this Treasure Distribution Rock!"
"Let's go somewhere else and grab some benefits!"
Zhunti asked, puzzled:
"Somewhere else?"
"Where else could there be more benefits than this Treasure Distribution Rock?"
Jieyin chuckled and said:
"We still owe Duke Dong karma! Now that all the powerhouses of the Immortal Court are gathered here, how do you think the Immortal Court's treasury is right now?"
Zhunti's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:
"Good idea, owing karma, of course, we have to repay it!"
Jieyin patted Zhunti's shoulder:
"Stick with Senior Brother, and you'll get your share!"
As he spoke, the two of them unobtrusively withdrew from the crowd, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot, heading straight for the Primordial Chaos.
Seeing that Qin Xuan was about to monopolize the Treasure Distribution Rock, Yuanshi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said:
"The Dao Ancestor said that treasures depend on individual opportunities!"
"Do you Ancestral Witches intend to cut off the opportunities of all your fellow Daoists?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people on the scene felt a change in their hearts.
Their gazes towards Qin Xuan took on a hint of hostility.
Dijun glanced at Duke Dong, thinking: As long as your Immortal Court doesn't get any benefits, that's fine.
Coincidentally, Duke Dong's gaze also happened to glance at Dijun, and what he was thinking was exactly the same.
Thus, both of them felt a sense of relief at the same time.
They looked at Yuanshi, then at Qin Xuan, preparing to watch the show.
Qin Xuan sneered upon hearing this:
"Speaking as if you were thinking of your fellow Daoists when you were discussing how to divide the treasures just now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly understood.
That's right!
Yuanshi was speaking with such righteous indignation!
But just now, his three brothers wanted seventy percent of the treasures!
What kind of face did he have to say that to the Ancestral Witches!
Qin Xuan continued:
"Also, I heard just now, you call yourself Pangu's Orthodoxy?"
As he spoke, Qin Xuan took out the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.
"At Buzhou Mountain, you personally admitted that we Ancestral Witches are Pangu's Orthodoxy!"
"Speak, how do you plan to compensate for impersonating Pangu's Orthodoxy this time!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi subconsciously tightened his grip on the Pangu Banner in his hand.
Last time Qin Xuan asked for compensation, he had to give up the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
This time, was he setting his sights on his Pangu Banner?
He had only just obtained the Pangu Banner and hadn't refined it yet, so he couldn't unleash much of its power at all.
A real fight would definitely be a loss.
But the Pangu Banner was a supreme innate treasure!
And it was transformed from the Heaven-Opening Axe!
It was completely incomparable to the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
He absolutely couldn't lose it!
He glanced at Tongtian in the distance.
He didn't care about face or anything else now.
He only hoped that Tongtian could be like he was at Buzhou Mountain.
And take out a treasure to pay off his debt for him.
Tongtian seemed to sense the meaning in Yuanshi's gaze and immediately turned his head away, pretending not to see.
Isn't this something you brought on yourself?
Someone praises you as Pangu's Orthodoxy.
And you eagerly admitted it?
Seeing Tongtian unmoved, Yuanshi glared at him fiercely, rapidly calculating a plan in his mind.
As long as he could safely bring the Pangu Banner back.
If you think this book is good, to avoid not finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.
Once he fully refined it.
He would definitely avenge himself!
Thinking of this, Yuanshi began to slowly retreat, preparing to run.
On the other side, Qin Xuan also saw Yuanshi's movements.
He chased after him, wielding the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.
Seeing this, the Ancestral Witches, except for Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, who were still guarding the Treasure Distribution Rock.
The other Ancestral Witches put away their Ancestral Witch True Bodies and surrounded Taiqing in the blink of an eye.
Taiqing's face changed drastically, and he was terrified!
No.
Laozi didn't say he would help!
However, the next moment.
Eight bricks slammed onto the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda.
The Ancestral Witches were furious just looking at this pagoda, and they showed no mercy, using all their strength!
Zhurong roared:
"I don't believe I can't smash your tortoise shell!"
Unlike before, this was the full force of eight Ancestral Witches with mixed Laws!
In just two or three rounds.
The Xuanhuang Pagoda was already trembling slightly.
Taiqing's face darkened.
Although the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda's defense was strong, it couldn't withstand such a beating.
A moment later.
Under the bombardment of eight bricks, the exquisite pagoda could no longer hold on, and the shaking became more and more violent, as if it would shatter at any moment.
On Qin Xuan's side, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler was already resting on Yuanshi's neck.
Yuanshi only felt a chill on his neck and couldn't help but recall the scene when Qin Xuan cut off his limbs outside Zixiao Palace last time.
He was terrified, his eyes full of fear.
He turned his head and glanced at Zixiao Palace.
Hoping that Dao Ancestor could directly save him like last time.
But he didn't know.
Inside Zixiao Palace.
Smoke and dust filled the air at this moment.
Hongjun sat upright on the cloud bed.
The Creation Jade Plate spun wildly in his hand.
Before long, black smoke billowed from it.
And with each breath he took, wisps of smoke began to emanate from his mouth and nostrils.
But he still couldn't figure out a solution.
Moreover, he'd noticed that this broken plate of his had become unreliable lately, unable to calculate anything.
However, he wasn't panicking.
After all, Qin Xuan only wanted Yuanshi to compensate him, not take his life.
Ultimately, it was Yuanshi himself who pretended to be Pangu's Orthodoxy and incurred the karma.
If he were to intervene now, he would be bearing that karma for Yuanshi.
Wouldn't Qin Xuan exploit him to death?
Thinking of this, Hongjun completely dismissed the idea of intervening.
Outside Zixiao Palace.
Qin Xuan, seeing Yuanshi's expression, immediately understood what he was thinking.
He glanced at Yuanshi, then at Taiqing, and with a thought, said calmly:
"Hand over the All Heavens Celebration Cloud!"
Hearing this, a trace of relief flashed through Yuanshi's heart.
Thankfully, he didn't want his Pangu Banner.
As long as he doesn't want the Pangu Banner...
He subconsciously looked towards Taiqing.
That one look completely dumbfounded him.
He saw Taiqing with bumps all over his head.
Zhurong and Gonggong, one on each side, had their arms draped over Taiqing's shoulders, each holding a brick in their other hand, occasionally slamming it down on his head.
On those bumps, he could faintly see characters he didn't recognize—"Benevolence," "Righteousness," "Propriety," "Wisdom," "Trust"...
Taiqing also understood the meaning in Yuanshi's gaze.
He knew that now that Qin Xuan had spoken, the All Heavens Celebration Cloud had to be handed over, whether they wanted to or not.
Otherwise, unless the Dao Ancestor personally intervened, they probably wouldn't be able to leave this Chaos.
At the same time, he felt a surge of resentment towards Yuanshi.
The treasure he had just obtained, not even warmed up, was lost because of this idiot!
The Three Pure Ones had practically become Qin Xuan's mobile treasure vault!
Taiqing, with a helpless expression, took out the All Heavens Celebration Cloud and handed it to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan accepted the All Heavens Celebration Cloud, put it away, and smiled faintly.
It wasn't that he didn't want the Pangu Banner, but this was outside Zixiao Palace, and if he pushed too hard, Hongjun might actually intervene.
Better to take something tangible first.
Anyway, the journey from this Chaos Sea to Primordial Chaos was very long.
Hongjun couldn't possibly keep an eye on Yuanshi all the time, could he?
