Failing to Steal a Chicken Only to Lose the Rice

Inside Yuxu Palace, with light shimmering across the floor.

Yuanshi appeared calm, but his eyes were filled with disdain for the two visitors.

In his opinion, the Two Western Saints were merely weaklings, incomparable to him.

Therefore, he hadn't taken them seriously at all.

"You two came uninvited. State your business clearly."

Yuanshi said impatiently.

He still had matters to attend to, like strategizing against the Intercepting Sect and the Great Tribulation, and had no time to waste bantering with these two.

Despite being angry, Jieyin smiled and said, "Brother Yuanshi, don't be in a hurry. We came specifically for you this time!"

"For me?"

Yuanshi retorted, while inwardly sneering. Did they really think he couldn't sense their ill intentions?

They were being clever, but he simply didn't want to deal with them.

"That's right, Senior Brother!"

"Tongtian is so rebellious and has no manners. As your elder brother, he actually treated you with such disrespect. Not only that, he even forced you to retreat in disgrace!"

"Seeing him act like that makes me incredibly angry!"

Zhunti said with a look of righteous indignation, while inwardly harboring sinister glee.

Hearing this, Yuanshi's face immediately flushed red.

Those two scoundrels, bringing up the one topic he wanted to avoid!

He had already lost face on Golden Ao Island, and these two dared to come and talk to him about it!

They were pretending to comfort him and stand up for him, but in reality, they were mocking him!

Yuanshi's heart blazed with anger!

Those two had no idea what was coming for them!

"If you have nothing else, please leave!"

Yuanshi said, his face still red, his tone displeased.

As he spoke, a terrifying pressure erupted from him.

Upon feeling Yuanshi's pressure, Zhunti and Jieyin were actually overjoyed.

They could almost see the flames in Yuanshi's eyes. Had their provocation succeeded?

It seemed their trip wasn't in vain!

If the Intercepting Sect and the Heavenly Origin Sect clashed, the Western Teachings would emerge as the ultimate victor!

The Two Western Saints exchanged a glance and decided to add more fuel to the fire. Zhunti then feigned a sympathetic tone, "Does Senior Brother Yuanshi still care about the brotherhood with Tongtian?"

"Is that why you hesitate to make a move against him?"

Jieyin immediately chimed in, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, you are wrong. The kind are always bullied!"

"If Tongtian dared to be so arrogant towards me, I would definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Besides, Tongtian is just your junior brother. How can a junior brother be so overbearing towards his elder brother!"

The Two Western Saints were putting on a show for each other, and Yuanshi's face turned a mottled blue and purple from listening.

Weren't these two, with their synchronized act, directly mocking me?!

"As Tongtian is my junior brother, how could I not show him some leniency due to our past relationship?"

"Please return, both of you! I have matters to attend to!"

With that, Yuanshi's figure vanished.

Seeing this, Zhunti and Jieyin rejoiced inwardly, knowing their plan had succeeded. They then left Yuxu Palace.

If only they knew that this very act would end up harming their Western Teachings, they would probably weep for days.

After the Two Western Saints departed, Yuanshi, fuming, summoned Daoist Randeng to see him.

Randeng did not dare to delay and quickly arrived at Yuxu Palace.

Daoist Randeng was an ancient mighty figure, and Yuanshi was a Saint. Therefore, he felt no shame in serving Yuanshi.

"Master!"

Randeng bowed.

Yuanshi looked at Daoist Randeng and said with a grim expression, "The Heavenly Origin Sect must begin preparations to face the Great Tribulation."

"I have a task for you: use the old grievances between the Western Teachings and the Witch-Demon to incite conflict between them!"

Yuanshi knew full well that the Two Western Saints had come precisely because they wanted him to start a war with the Heavenly Origin Sect, thereby benefiting themselves.

"Hmph! If you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Yuanshi thought fiercely to himself.

Randeng heard this, his eyes filled with apprehension towards the Witch-Demon.

The Demon Race, they were survivors of the ancient great war, each one an incredibly powerful being!

Although Randeng didn't know why Yuanshi had him do this, he didn't say anything and simply agreed before leaving.

After watching Randeng Daoist go to handle the task, Yuanshi looked grimly towards the West.

How dare you Two Western Saints mock me?

While I may not be able to deal with the Intercepting Sect, I can certainly show your Western Teachings why the flowers bloom so red!

You Western Teachings will be the first to taste the Investiture of the Gods!

In the midst of a certain mountain range in the Primordial World.

At this moment, a Daoist clad in red robes was furiously pursuing two disheveled figures.

The two being chased were former members of the Demon Race. After their defeat in the great war, they had shamelessly defected to the Western Teachings.

Therefore, they had both become disciples of the Western Teachings.

"Bai Ze!"

"What kind of madness is this!"

"If the Western Teachings find out, you'll definitely face consequences!"

The faces of the two were filled with terror. The killing god behind them was none other than a Demon God from the ancient Demon Court: Bai Ze!

Given that he was hailed as one of the Ten Great Demon Gods, his strength was beyond question.

Bai Ze's pursuit of the two had ample reason. Who could tolerate the betrayal of traitors!

Not far from this location, in the void, Randeng watched the two being chased and smiled with satisfaction.

They finished the task so quickly! He said with great joy, "Master Yuanshi will surely be pleased when he finds out, hahaha!"

Whoosh!

Randeng Daoist instantly departed, returning to report.

"Where do you think you're going!"

"Your betrayal is unforgivable! Compensate with your lives!"

Bai Ze said without a doubt, then mobilized countless spiritual energies to form a giant fist.

Rumble!

The giant fist transformed into a streak of light and directly struck the two traitors.

"A Saint will not let you go!"

The two uttered their final words before vanishing into thin air.

However, two faint flashes of light still flickered past.

Seeing this, Bai Ze seemed indignant that the two traitors had still been taken in by the Investiture of the Gods!

"Hmph! You got off easy!"

With that, Bai Ze vanished.

After the two traitors were killed, the Western Teachings were the first to be listed.

At this moment, within the Spirit Mountain of the Western Teachings.

A roar echoed through the heavens.

"Who? Who dares to lay a hand on my Western Teachings!"

Daoist Jieyin shouted in rage.

Not long ago, they had tried to instigate a war between the Intercepting Sect and the Heavenly Origin Sect, hoping to fill the Investiture of the Gods with casualties. Before their conflict could even begin, their own disciples from the Western Teachings had already entered the list.

Who wouldn't be furious?

After venting his anger, Jieyin began to divine, seeking to discover who had plotted against his Western Teachings.

The vast divine abilities of a Saint were evident at this moment.

If he wished to investigate, nothing could remain hidden from him
