Just then.
The void before everyone rippled like water, and a figure slowly emerged from the center of the waves. An indescribable Daoist Charm spread outward, instantly clearing their minds and easing much of their previous agitation.
Xuan Wu stopped in his tracks as well.
Though puzzled, he still respectfully cupped his hands toward the figure before him and softly called out:
"Xuan Wu greets Taiqing Dao Ancestor!"
The newcomer was none other than Taiqing Sage.
"What is Taiqing Sage doing here?"
Everyone began wondering to themselves. However, Taiqing Dao Ancestor was a title personally bestowed by Wu Tian. No matter what they thought of this Sage, they had to show the proper respect, and so they all bowed together.
Taiqing nodded with a rare light smile.
Seeing the anxiety in Zhao Gongming and the others' eyes, he actually explained with a smile:
"Do not worry..."
"Though Wukong and Chi You have been suppressed, at their level, their lives will not be endangered so easily! Being able to fight someone at the Primordial Origin level this time will bring tremendous benefits to them both, even if they suffer some hardship..."
Xuan Wu turned to look at Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan also stepped forward at the right moment, tacitly taking the lead and becoming the "spokesman" for the fellow disciples present.
Kong Xuan nodded lightly.
Naturally, he knew Taiqing Sage was speaking the truth. But seeing his own people getting beaten senseless still sat poorly with him, didn't it? That was why, after comforting his junior brothers for so long, he himself had been unable to resist appearing in the Primordial World!
Kong Xuan first glanced westward.
It seemed that Taiqing Sage had acted. The Faith Demon God had not noticed the disturbance here, nor had he noticed Taiqing Sage's arrival.
