Determined gazes...
Solemn expressions...
Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi's demeanor at that moment had already made their intentions perfectly clear.
However, Xuan Yang could not help but laugh.
He patted Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun on the shoulders and said with a smile,
"Hahahaha!"
"You two Daoist Friends need not be so serious."
"I did not ask for your help this time to send you into the Sea Eye beneath a volcano. I have good news for you..."
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun revealed surprised expressions and questioned Xuan Yang again.
"Good news?"
"Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, could you explain in detail?"
Xuan Yang merely smiled and shook his head. "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"
"You will know when the time comes."
After saying that, he flicked a finger, and a piece of jade immediately flew out.
Then Xuan Yang spoke to Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun again. "You two Daoist Friends may head to the Sun Star and wait for me first."
"Once you reach the Sun Star, remember to give this jade to my two brothers. They will know what to do."
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun nodded at Xuan Yang.
They directly accepted the jade he had given them.
Before long, they left Wuzhuang Temple and hurried toward the Sun Star.
However, along the way, both of them were rather curious about Xuan Yang's actions this time.
Hongyun said, "I truly do not know what Daoist Friend Xuan Yang is plotting..."
"He asked us to wait at the Sun Star. Could this also be related to what he wrote in his diary before?"
Zhen Yuanzi could not make sense of it either, but he still said to Hongyun, "In any case, let us head to the Sun Star first..."
"We will know when the time comes."
They continued hurrying toward the Sun Star.
As for Xuan Yang...
After bidding farewell to Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun...
He did not linger where he was for long.
Instead, he headed directly toward Kunlun Mountain.
That was right, Xuan Yang's next target was naturally Tongtian.
After traveling for some time, he finally arrived outside Kunlun Mountain.
But Kunlun Mountain was unlike Wuzhuang Temple.
It did not belong to Tongtian alone.
Therefore, Xuan Yang did not barge in directly.
Instead, he sent out a Daoist voice from outside. "Daoist Friend Tongtian, please come out for a chat!"
Tongtian immediately came out upon hearing Xuan Yang's voice.
He had originally been cultivating, but he immediately set aside everything in his hands.
Upon seeing Xuan Yang, Tongtian laughed heartily. "Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, what wind has blown you over to my place?"
"Quick, come inside with me!"
But Xuan Yang waved his hand and said, "Daoist Friend Tongtian, I did not come here today as a guest. I have a matter that requires your assistance."
Tongtian's expression turned serious as he spoke directly. "Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, feel free to give your orders!"
Xuan Yang raised his brow slightly and said to Tongtian again, "Then could Daoist Friend Tongtian go to my Sun Star and wait for me first?"
Tongtian agreed once more. "Of course!"
Having said that, he asked nothing further and headed straight for the Sun Star.
However, this scene was noticed by Yuanshi and Laozi within Kunlun Mountain.
Seeing Tongtian being so easily directed by Xuan Yang, even obeying his every word...
Yuanshi was filled with displeasure.
He said to Laozi beside him,
"Eldest Brother, look at Third Brother!"
"Every day, all he knows is how to mingle with such egg-born, damp-bred creatures, beasts clad in fur and armored in scales..."
"He is simply lowering the standing of our Three Pure Ones!"
"What kind of figures are we, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu? Are those three Miscellaneous Birds worthy of associating with us?"
Laozi felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
But he did not state his opinion.
After all, in his view, whoever Tongtian wanted to befriend was his own business...
What was there to manage?
But Yuanshi clearly did not see it that way.
Thus, he continued grumbling endlessly about Tongtian's behavior.
"If Third Brother keeps this up, he will fall behind us!"
"After all these years, he is still stuck at the initial stage of the Chaos Golden Immortal realm!"
"We told him to follow the Saint's Path, but he refused to listen! Now he has fallen so far behind us two brothers. Wouldn't the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness laugh at us if word got out?"
"And he obeys Xuan Yang so completely. It is truly speechless!"
"..."
Yuanshi rambled on without end.
Laozi remained silent throughout.
Seeing this, Yuanshi also found it dull.
Thus, after leaving behind one final remark, he returned to comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
"When Third Brother returns, I must give him a proper talking-to!"
"He has gone down the wrong path. Mingling with those Fox Friends Dog Companions every day will only make his cultivation slower and slower!"
Naturally, Xuan Yang had no idea what Yuanshi was saying at that moment.
After Tongtian left, he headed straight for West Kunlun.
He found Queen Mother of the West and explained his purpose.
Queen Mother of the West was likewise very willing to help Xuan Yang.
Moreover, to be honest, Xuan Yang had not come to West Kunlun to see her in a long time.
She was secretly delighted, though there was a trace of resentment on her face as she complained to Xuan Yang, "I thought that after making so many new friends, Daoist Friend Xuan Yang had forgotten all about me..."
Xuan Yang hurriedly explained, "I have truly been rather busy these past years."
Queen Mother of the West smiled sweetly. "Fine, I forgive you. Who told me to be so sentimental?"
Queen Mother of the West asked Xuan Yang again, "Then, shall we go to the Sun Star now?"
Xuan Yang nodded.
Afterward, he brought Queen Mother of the West back to the Sun Star with him.
After another journey, they finally returned to the Sun Star.
At this moment, on the Sun Star...
Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and Tongtian had all been waiting there for a long time.
Di Jun and Taiyi had also learned of Xuan Yang's instructions after receiving his Sound Transmission Jade.
Thus, they had gathered a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, as well as the Ten Great Demon Gods, Nuwa, and Fuxi, and were waiting at the Demon Court early on.
Xuan Yang first met with Zhen Yuanzi and the others.
Afterward, he directly brought them to the Demon Court.
When the demons of the Demon Court saw Xuan Yang arrive, they all knelt in salute. Di Jun, Taiyi, Nuwa, and Fuxi quickly came forward as well.
Di Jun said, "Third Brother, you have finally returned."
"We have gathered a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers as you instructed. What are we doing next?"
As Di Jun's voice fell, everyone else also turned their gazes toward Xuan Yang.
Their eyes were Filled With intense curiosity. Clearly, they were all extremely curious about why Xuan Yang had made such a grand display.
But Xuan Yang's next words left them all dumbfounded.
"What are we doing?"
"We're heading West!"
"This time, we're pulling a big job!"
