Zhunti: What's a Beating When There Are Disciples to Poach?
The two left Xiqi, transforming into two inconspicuous streaks of light. Without pausing for a moment, they fled directly the West as if their lives depended on it.
Throughout the journey, Shen Gongbao's heart, which had always been in suspense, pounded more violently than ever before.
He kept turning back to look eastward, fearing that at any moment, a colossal hand would emerge from the direction of Kunlun Mountain, traversing the endless void and crushing him and Randeng into ashes.
Daoist Randeng also looked solemn, concealing his aura to the extreme, not daring to reveal even the slightest trace.
The power of Saint is unfathomable.
Even though they are now far from Xiqi, no one can guarantee that Yuanshi Tianzun has already noticed their defection.
The closer they got to the West border, the more the suffocating feeling that had been weighing on their hearts eased.
Once they can enter the Dao Field of the Two Saints of the West, they will be truly safe.
However, just as the two were about to cross that invisible boundary and step into the West territory!
Nine Heavens Above, the void Distortion System.
A gigantic face, formed from endless Jade Purity Immortal Light, looked down upon the two ant-like figures below.
His face was expressionless, only filled with endless indifference and murderous intent.
"My Clarify Sect have treated you all well."
"You dare to betray our faith!"
"Not good!"
A look of utter horror appeared on the face of the Daoist Randeng, a face that had remained unchanged for millennia.
Shen Gongbao trembled all over, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his Primordial Spirit seemingly frozen in that instant.
It is Yuanshi Tianzun!
They were eventually discovered!
Faced with this terrifying will, neither of them could even muster the thought of resistance.
The Primordial Spirit trembled violently under that oppressive force, as if it would completely shatter and turn into nothingness at any moment.
It's over.
Everything is over.
When Saint is enraged, heaven and earth are overturned, and they have absolutely no chance of escape.
They hadn't expected Yuanshi Tianzun to react so quickly.
Just as the giant hand formed from the Jade Purity Immortal Light was about to fall and completely obliterate the two of them.
"Amitabha."
A resounding Buddhist chant, like the morning bell and evening drum, pierced through the solidified void and echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards.
An equally vast and powerful Saint's will rose from the distant the West.
That force, seemingly gentle yet unbreakable, effortlessly blocked their path.
The terrifying pressure that could have crushed them to dust vanished instantly.
"Thump!"
Randeng and Shen Gongbao could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their bodies completely soaked in cold sweat.
A narrow escape!
The two exchanged a glance, and both saw an uncontrollable sense of relief and elation on each other's faces.
You made the right bet!
The Two Saints of the West have indeed made their move!
"Zhunti!"
A chilling voice, filled with boundless rage, boomed across the heavens and earth.
"It really was you!"
The voice of the Daoist Zhunti, tinged with a mixture of helplessness and amusement, rang out slowly.
"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, why must you unleash such thunderous fury?"
"These two fellow practitioners have a karmic connection with my the West Paradise, for they admire my great Buddhism teachings and have come specifically to seek refuge with me."
"This humble Daoist priest is merely following the will of Heaven to Jieyin them here."
"Fellow Daoist, your calls for war and slaughter are hardly befitting of a Saint."
At this moment, the will of the Yuanshi Tianzun became even colder.
"What a wonderful way to follow the will of Heaven!"
"Not only did you forcibly seize the True Spirit of my disciple within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"
"Now, they are even directly instigating my Chan Sect Disciple to betray the sect!"
"Zhunti, do you really think that I, Primordial Lord, am easy to bully?!"
"If you hand them over today, I will pretend this never happened!"
Otherwise, I'm not done with you today!
Zhunti facing the overwhelming rage of Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti's smile remained undiminished.
He clasped his hands together and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, you are mistaken."
"Since the two of them have decided to join our Buddhism, they are now disciples of our Buddhism."
"How could I possibly hand over my own disciple so easily?"
"It's out of the question."
"Furthermore, since they are unwilling to remain in the Clarify Sect, why force them?"
"Instead of forcing them to stay, we should reflect on this."
"Why would these two be willing to bear the stigma of treason to join my Western Buddhism?"
These words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
"Zhunti! You're asking for death!"
The Yuanshi Tianzun was utterly enraged.
He wasn't actually that concerned about Randeng and Shen Gongbao's betrayal of the Clarify Sect.
He never considered a Deputy Sect Master of Chan Sect or a Named Disciple as the true core of the Clarify Sect.
What he truly cares about is his own reputation!
During the Tribulation, his Clarify Sect suffered heavy losses, Dao Lineage withered. Now, even his disciples openly betrayed the sect and went to the West.
If he were to Zhunti to take the person away today, how would the people of the Primordial Wilderness world view his Clarify Sect in the future?
Doesn't everyone think that he, Yuanshi Tianzun, is afraid of the Two Saints of the West?
This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
Daoist Zhunti sensed the increasingly terrifying killing intent, he knew that if he didn't let Primordial Lord vent his anger today...
This matter can never be resolved peacefully.
For the sake of the Great Prosperity of the West, and for the sake of these two corners that were so hard-won.
It seems I can't avoid this beating.
So be it.
Who cares about saving face if I can get the benefits?
He, Zhunti, has always been a pragmatist.
Thinking of this, Zhunti's voice also became firm.
"If you are dissatisfied, fellow Daoist, I am willing to accompany you in a duel."
This is exactly what Yuanshi Tianzun was waiting for!
"Good!"
"Then let's go!"
"I await you in the Chaos!"
"If I don't shatter your golden body today, I am not Primordial Lord!"
The Dao Ancestor has already Imperial Edict that Saint are forbidden from setting foot in the Primordial Wilderness again, and are even more prohibited from taking action within Primordial Wilderness.
After all, this Primordial World, which had just been reforged, was extremely fragile and could no longer withstand the torment of their Saint- level power.
If you want to fight, you can only go into that endless Chaos.
"Good."
Without the slightest hesitation, Master Daoist Zhunti agreed.
The next moment, his will resonated within the Primordial Spirit of Randeng and Shen Gongbao.
"You two should hurry to the Western Spirit Mountain; your Jieyin brother will make arrangements there."
"This humble Daoist priest will be right back."
Upon hearing this, Randeng and Shen Gongbao felt reassured and immediately bowed respectfully to the West.
"Thank you, Your Saint!"
In the midst of Chaos.
Chaos Turbulence raged, Earth Water Fire Wind surged.
The Yuanshi Tianzun stood silently in the Chaos, the Chaos Qi Surrounding Body retreating far away, unable to get close.
Opposite him, the figure of Zhunti slowly appeared.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him, his cold face filled with undisguised killing intent.
Zhunti looked at the murderous Yuanshi Tianzun opposite him, and a smile forced onto his troubled face.
bring it on.
Finish early, then call it a day.
Seeing his appearance, Yuanshi Tianzun became even more furious.
Without further ado, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi unleashed its Chaos Divine Light and crashed down upon Zhunti!
"Zhunti! Today, I will show you the consequences of offending me!"
