Yuanshi Tianzun: Big Brother, What Should We Do? This Person Has Obviously Led Third Brother Astray.

Dijun and Taiyi looked at Black Dog, who was acting like a rabid lunatic, and found it utterly unbelievable that a mid-stage Golden Immortal like him could break through the barrier they had set up.

He had even evaded the Fusang Divine Tree's attacks and silently stolen Golden Crow Sixth away.

Other than a Saint or someone at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm, no one should have been able to do that.

Moreover, they could feel Black Dog's hatred for Zhunti from far away, as though he wanted to bite Zhunti to death.

Although Black Dog had been able to bite Zhunti just now, that had entirely been because Tongtian's overwhelming power had suppressed him, giving Black Dog an opening.

One could imagine just how badly Zhunti had offended Black Dog back then, for Black Dog had shown no regard for the fact that Zhunti was a Saint.

Of course, it was also a case of a dog relying on its master's power.

After Tongtian had loosened the leash just now, the damned dog had not charged forward. Instead, he had handed the leash to Tongtian and waited for him to hold it securely before continuing to growl fiercely at Zhunti.

With that cowardly appearance of a dog emboldened by its master, who would believe Black Dog had dared to steal a Golden Crow?

Jieyin spoke at this moment. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, how do you explain why this Karma Thread led us to you?"

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword stabbed into the void not far from Jieyin, releasing boundless killing intent.

"Explain? Shall I use this to explain it to you? Jieyin, who the hell do you think you are, demanding an explanation from me!

"I... Hmph! This time, I'll give the Heavenly Dao some face.

"Zhunti and I have recently formed a grudge. If the Karma Thread didn't seek us out, who else would it seek?" Tongtian said with surging killing intent, making no attempt to conceal the fury in his eyes.

He immediately revealed to everyone how, after Black Dog had taken human form, Zhunti had set his sights on him, and how Zhunti had tracked him down using the Karma Thread. He made clear the karma between himself and Zhunti.

Dijun and Taiyi immediately understood that this was a matter of face between Saints. Being sought out once or twice over such a matter would anger anyone.

Someone had come to their doorstep over something that belonged to them. It was an outright slap in the face.

The traces of a battle between Saints they had sensed in the Eastern Sea last time had been because of this.

Zhunti's face darkened, and a flash of hatred passed through his eyes. Tongtian was simply being unreasonable. This matter definitely had something to do with him.

But Zhunti had no grounds to say so, because Tongtian had already sworn an oath, and the Heavenly Dao had verified it.

"Since it wasn't you, Tongtian, release this Karma Thread," Zhunti said in a low voice, a glint of calculation flashing through his eyes.

Tongtian could talk all he wanted, but the Karma Thread could not be mistaken. Whether it was Tongtian's doing or not, if it found Tongtian again next time—

Then even if he was not directly responsible, he could not be unrelated to it.

The Absolute Immortal Sword!

It stabbed into the air near Zhunti, its killing intent soaring to the heavens. Cracks began to appear in the surrounding space.

"I'll give you one chance to reconsider your words!

"I know you bear the Mark of the Heavenly Dao and cannot truly die!

"But I want to test whether I can beat you into slumber within that Mark of the Heavenly Dao, unable to awaken." Tongtian spoke calmly, but everyone could feel his boundless killing intent.

Tongtian was so confident because Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint had already arrived nearby.

And by deliberately revealing his karma with Zhunti just now, he had been telling his two elder brothers that he had the moral high ground this time.

Just as Zhunti was about to fly into a rage, Jieyin, beside him, stopped him. He had already sensed the arrival of Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint.

No matter how one looked at it, his junior brother was in the wrong.

"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Tongtian intends to resolve this?" Jieyin asked blandly. The bitter expression usually on his face was unusually absent.

Truthfully, he had not regarded Taiyi or Dijun as worthy of notice at all. Those who had not become Saints were ants in the end.

Zhunti, at the side, knew that his senior brother had become serious—and angry.

"I—"

Tongtian had just been about to make an exorbitant demand when his two elder brothers appeared behind him. He immediately understood that they had come to back him up.

At the same time, a massive eye appeared in the sky—the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao did not want Tongtian to make matters worse. After all, the positions of Saints were the foundation supporting the Heavenly Dao.

This also proved that Tongtian truly had the ability to beat Zhunti half to death.

And the moment the Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared, it immediately took control of the entire scene. Waves of pressure displayed its might.

Most importantly, everyone saw a trace of complicated emotion within the Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had descended.

Other than Black Dog, whose senses Tongtian had sealed, everyone lowered their heads obediently. Such was the tyranny of the Heavenly Dao.

Black Dog, however, continued snarling at Zhunti. Dijun and Taiyi could not help glancing at him, already deciding in their hearts that he was a mad dog.

"My demands are not excessive. Zhunti, swear to the Heavenly Dao that all karma and enmity between you and Black Dog will be cut off from this day onward.

"That way, you won't keep coming here to cause trouble. Next time, you won't be so lucky.

"Also, compensate me with some resources as dog food."

A look of grievance appeared on Tongtian's face, but a gleam of satisfaction flashed through his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the Immortal Executing Sword and the Immortal Trapping Sword floated behind him, while the Immortal Slaughtering Formation diagram slowly unfolded beneath his feet.

Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint stepped forward, directly taking hold of the Immortal Executing Sword and the Immortal Trapping Sword before standing atop the Immortal Slaughtering Formation diagram.

The two Saints used their actions to confirm Tongtian's words.

Zhunti and Jieyin's scalps immediately went numb. Tongtian alone was already more than enough for them to handle. With the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, he could easily crush the two of them.

And now Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint had joined him...

They were completely screwed!

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Zhunti, shall henceforth have no karma or enmity with Black Dog. Should I violate this oath, may I be forsaken by the Heavenly Dao and fall into eternal damnation."

Zhunti immediately swore the oath without hesitation. At the same time, he ripped the Karma Thread in his hand into pieces and destroyed it.

What Karma Thread? This was clearly a death-seeking thread.

Crack—

The Heavenly Dao recorded everything.

Jieyin's face showed a pained expression as he handed a storage bag to Tongtian.

Tongtian took the storage bag and hung it around Black Dog's neck. Then, with a beckoning gesture toward the Western Sect, he seized some of the resources visible below and took them into his hand.

Zhunti's face remained dark, fury blazing in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

Who told him to provoke that rogue Tongtian?

The already impoverished Western Sect had just suffered an even worse blow.

Tongtian waved his hand and put away the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation diagram. He slightly raised his chin and cast a sidelong glance at the two opposite him.

"Keep your eyes open next time."

Then Tongtian turned to Dijun and Taiyi and said blandly, "Saints possess the dignity of Saints.

"If not for the fact that you were born from Father God's eye, I would have given each of you two sword strikes today to knock some sense into you.

"Useless trash who cannot even refine the Chaos Bell—holding Father God's supreme treasure is an insult to him."

Dijun and Taiyi's expressions changed drastically. Anger appeared in their eyes, but they had no choice but to swallow it.

There was nothing they could do. Tongtian had just displayed the Immortal Slaughtering Formation diagram, together with the Four Swords of Zhuxian and Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint.

Beating them up would have been effortless.

Most importantly, that final remark had plainly meant that if Taiyi could not refine the Chaos Bell, then he should not be holding it.

Tongtian was practically saying, I want your Chaos Bell!

Tongtian stunned everyone.

Even the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, which had been preparing to leave, remained behind.

"Your Golden Crow was the one I rescued. Do you want to take him back?" Tongtian said blandly, rubbing his fingers over the Immortal Slaughtering Sword as a provocative glint flashed through his eyes.

His posture was clearly seeking trouble, but his gaze was fixed on the Chaos Bell. His intention could not have been more obvious.

Dijun and Taiyi respectfully bowed to Tongtian, then turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

They did not even take the Demon Race members they had brought with them.

If they did not leave now, that madman Tongtian would soon find some excuse to snatch the Chaos Bell.

Do not doubt it. He was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Like master, like dog. One only had to look at Black Dog's crazed demeanor to know.

"Tch. No one believes the truth," Tongtian said lightly, satisfaction flashing through his eyes.

The next instant, he grabbed Black Dog and tore through space, racing straight into the chaos.

Zhunti: ??

Jieyin: ??

Grand Pure Saint: ...

Yuanshi Tianzun shouted, "Big Brother, hurry and chase him! Don't let him get away.

"He's about to sever his evil corpse..."

Within the chaos—Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sighed helplessly. He did not quite understand what was going on with Tongtian's cultivation. Why had it increased so much?

Could it be because he had founded the Interception Sect? Had he intercepted a thread of life?

"But that boy is far too good at stirring up trouble. Still, why are Yuanshi and Grand Pure pursuing Tongtian so relentlessly?" Hongjun stroked his chin, a gossipy gleam flashing through his eyes.

"Fine. A united Three Purities is not conducive to the Primordial World's development.

"I can make a move in that regard.

"Besides, the Demon Race has indeed become rather arrogant. It is time..."

Deep within the chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Tongtian's incarnation before him and sighed helplessly. They had let their third brother Tongtian escape again.

"Big Brother, the method used to refine this incarnation is the same as those formation discs. Third Brother definitely did not make them.

"There must be someone behind him."

The Grand Pure Saint looked at Tongtian's incarnation, which showed no reaction whatsoever, and nodded in agreement. Raising his hand, he released the Taiji Diagram to shield this place.

He said seriously, "This person is proficient in artifact refinement, pill refinement, formations, and formation discs.

"He modified One Qi Transforming into Three Purities and created a method for layering formations. Furthermore, applying that layering method to pill refinement and formations produces different effects.

"Third Brother is avoiding us now because he fears we will discover this person."

"Yes. I suspect everything in the Interception Sect now is this person's handiwork. Could it be that Third Brother fears we would harm him?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked in confusion, his voice carrying an incomprehensible note of sourness, as though Tongtian had abandoned them.

"This person should be a special existence, which is why Third Brother does not dare let too many people know about him—or perhaps he fears the Heavenly Dao learning of him.

"The anomaly when the Interception Sect accepted disciples back then..." the Grand Pure Saint said blandly, a wise gleam flashing through his eyes.

The three of them had lived together for countless years. How could they not understand what their own brother was like?

In the past, he only knew how to use a sword. Yet at the Western Sect just now, it had entirely been his personal performance. From his entrance to the end, every step had suppressed the other side, and he had held the moral high ground throughout.

But the Tongtian of today gave both of them the feeling that their younger brother had gone bad!

"Big Brother! What should we do? This person has obviously led Third Brother astray!"
