How about you agree to him?

The appearance of Causality and the other two immediately left all living beings on Mount Sumeru feeling uneasy.

Clearly, they had no idea what these three ancestors had come for.

But they knew that these three ancestors were figures who stood on equal footing with their own ancestor.

Even in the Primordial Wilderness, they stood among the very strongest.

When Luohu on Mount Sumeru heard that familiar voice, he knew that Causality and the others he had invited had arrived.

Thus, Luohu appeared directly within the newly established dojo on Mount Sumeru.

He replied with a smile.

"Causality, Five Elements, Qiankun, since you have come, enter!"

After Luohu spoke, Daoist Karma and the other two had already appeared within the dojo.

Although Luohu was arrogant and unruly, he was no fool. With a beaming smile, he directly invited the three to take their seats.

Four seats had been arranged within the main hall of the dojo.

There was no distinction of rank among the four seats.

Looking at the four seats before them, Causality and the other two smiled and slowly took their seats.

Luohu then instructed his servants to bring out some Spiritual Fruit and Spirit Tea.

Only after Luohu's servants had fully withdrawn did Daoist Karma slowly speak.

"Fellow Daoist Luohu, tell us. Why did you invite the three of us here this time?"

After thinking for a moment, Luohu directly revealed why he had invited Causality and the others. "It is nothing much. I merely heard from Yang Mei that, before you had manifested, Hong Yuan went to visit you. Is that true?"

The moment Luohu said this, the expressions of Causality and the others stiffened.

After quite some time, Causality nodded bitterly. "That is indeed the case. Earlier, Hong Yuan and Yang Mei suddenly appeared in my dojo, leaving this old Daoist dazed for quite a while. For an instant, I even thought Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan intended to attack me. Yet it turned out that this old Daoist had judged a gentleman by the measure of a petty man. Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan merely discussed the Dao with me before departing."

Upon hearing Causality's words, Five Elements and Qiankun felt the same way.

They could completely understand Causality's earlier shift in mindset.

Because they had experienced the same thing.

Without sensing anything at all, they discovered that two people had suddenly appeared in their dojos.

After hearing Causality's words, Luohu hesitated briefly before adding, "Then what do you all think of this?"

The moment Luohu spoke, the expressions of Causality and the others changed drastically.

How could they still not understand why Luohu had invited the three of them here?

He wanted them to join him, Luohu, in opposing Hong Yuan.

Luohu naturally saw the changes in their expressions.

Yet not a trace of panic showed on his face.

"Do you know where the character Hong in Primordial Wilderness comes from?"

"It comes from the Hong in Hong Yuan. With such karmic ties, you should have made some guesses as well."

"The fated ruler of the Primordial Wilderness!" Causality blurted out.

Luohu gave Causality an indifferent glance and continued in an unhurried tone, "Fellow Daoist Causality is correct. If Hong Yuan remains, then barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will surely become the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness! Given Hong Yuan's cultivation speed, if the Heavenly Dao truly evolves, then no one in the Primordial Wilderness will be able to go against his will."

But Luohu had another thought in his heart.

If Hong Yuan truly became the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness, when would he ever be able to avenge that whipping?

"But all of you know Hong Yuan's temperament. He is utterly arrogant and treats us as though we are nothing. If he truly becomes the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness, who knows how overbearing he will become? Thus, today, this ancestor wishes to invite you all to cooperate with me. What do you think, fellow Daoists?"

In response to Luohu's words, Causality immediately stood up. "I have other matters to attend to. Fellow Daoist Luohu, farewell!"

"The two of us have no such intentions either! Farewell!"

Following Causality's stance, Qiankun and Five Elements did not hesitate in the slightest. They rose together and bade Luohu farewell.

Luohu's face suddenly darkened.

He abruptly waved his hand.

In an instant, demonic qi surged forth, and a great formation appeared, sealing off the surrounding space.

More than a dozen figures emerged from the demonic qi as well.

Every one of these figures possessed the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Causality and the other two wore extremely ugly expressions as they watched this scene.

"Luohu, are you truly going to turn against us?! Do not think that these early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals can lay a hand on us!"

Luohu suddenly let out a long sigh.

The aura of a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal instantly burst forth from his body.

When they sensed Luohu's aura,

the expressions of Causality and the others immediately turned somewhat panicked.

"You have actually broken through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm?!"

Seeing the changes in Causality and the others' expressions, Luohu still earnestly tried to persuade them. "Fellow Daoists, why must it be like this? No matter how strong Hong Yuan is, he is only at the Second Heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. If we prepare early and join forces when the time comes, we may not be incapable of fighting him! Do you truly wish to remain beneath Hong Yuan forever?"

"Yes, Causality. How about you agree to him?"

Luohu was quite satisfied with his subordinate's performance. The rewards he had given them over the years had not been wasted.

But Luohu seemed to notice something. Were his subordinates not standing at the edge of the formation?

Why had that voice just come from beside his ear?

And why was it so familiar?

Luohu slowly turned his head somewhat stiffly.

Only to discover an incomparably familiar face right beside him.

At that moment, Luohu's mind went blank.

Even his voice trembled slightly.

"Hong... Hong Yuan."

The moment Luohu's subordinates by the formation saw that the situation was unfavorable, they prepared to attack directly.

But at that instant, an unimaginably terrifying pressure descended upon them.

It pinned them firmly in place, leaving them utterly unable to move.

The moment they noticed this change, everyone's expression changed drastically.

What kind of terrifying power was this?

Even their ancestor likely fell far short of it.

At that moment, they seemed to vaguely guess Hong Yuan's identity.

He was the enemy their ancestor had wanted to join forces with the other three ancestors to face.

That realization immediately filled them with despair.

Before Hong Yuan, they did not even have time to offer the slightest resistance.

The pressure upon them could erase them at any moment.

Yet Hong Yuan paid no attention whatsoever to the minor lackeys at the side.

He merely grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled at Luohu. "Are you happy? Excited?"

Luohu: "..."

The instant he saw Hong Yuan,

Luohu knew that today was over.

Hong Yuan had caught him in the midst of his scheme.

I had not even set out, yet I had already died first.

When Causality, Qiankun, and Five Elements saw Hong Yuan, they hurriedly spoke as well.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan, you came at just the right time. This Luohu intends to retaliate against you and even tried to recruit us. When his recruitment failed, he planned to attack us directly."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan. Why not join us today and kill this bastard together!"

They feared that if they delayed even a moment longer, Hong Yuan would treat them as accomplices.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuan smiled softly and nodded. "Rest assured, fellow Daoists. I already knew."

After saying this, Hong Yuan slowly turned to look at Luohu.

"Luohu, you have not been honest."

"Originally, I had planned to give you a gift, yet I never expected you to want to attack me. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"It seems I cannot spare you."

As he spoke, Hong Yuan's aura surged several degrees higher.

That terrifying aura made even Luohu, an early-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, feel as though he could barely breathe.

It was as if it could completely drown him at any moment.
