Inside Yuxu Palace, where reflected light covered the floor.
Yuanshi's face was utterly calm, yet his eyes were filled with disdain for the two men.
In his view, the Two Western Saints were merely a pair of weaklings, completely incomparable to him.
Therefore, he had never taken the two of them seriously.
"You two came uninvited. Whatever business you have, just say it plainly."
Yuanshi spoke impatiently.
He still had to think about how to deal with the Interception Sect and the great tribulation. He had no time to bicker with these two men.
Although Jieyin was furious, he still wore a beaming smile as he said, "Brother Yuanshi, don't be anxious. We came here specifically for your sake!"
"For my sake?"
Yuanshi asked in return, while inwardly sneering nonstop. Do they really think I can't see their malicious intentions?
They're just showing off their cleverness. I simply can't be bothered with them.
"That's right, Senior Brother!"
"That Tongtian is utterly rebellious and has no manners at all. As your younger brother, how could he be so disrespectful to you, Senior Brother? And if that weren't enough, he even forced you to retreat in such a sorry state!"
"Even I felt incomparably enraged watching him do that!"
Zhunti spoke with a face full of indignation, while inwardly sneering viciously.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's face immediately flushed red.
These two bastards! They really know exactly which sore spot to poke!
Losing face on Golden Ao Island was bad enough, but these two bastards actually came here to bring it up to me!
They pretend to comfort me and stand up for me, but secretly they're mocking me!
Yuanshi's heart instantly burned with fury!
These two really have no idea how the word "death" is written!
"If you two have nothing else to say, then leave!"
Yuanshi said with a flushed face and an unpleasant tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, astonishing pressure erupted directly from his body.
When Zhunti and Jieyin sensed Yuanshi's pressure, they were instead delighted.
They could almost see the flames blazing in Yuanshi's eyes. Had their provocation succeeded?
It seemed this trip had not been in vain!
Once the Interception Sect and Chan Sect started fighting, the Western Teachings would become the final victor!
The Two Western Saints exchanged a glance and decided to add fuel to the fire. Zhunti immediately put on a feigned expression of concern and said, "Could it be that Senior Brother Yuanshi still cares about your brotherly affection with Tongtian?"
"Is that why you don't dare to attack Tongtian?"
Jieyin immediately added, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, that's where you're wrong. The kind-hearted are bullied!"
"If Tongtian dared to act so arrogantly toward me, I would certainly teach him a good lesson!"
"Besides, Tongtian is merely your younger brother. How could a younger brother act so tyrannically toward his elder brother?"
The Two Western Saints were putting on a performance for each other, and Yuanshi's face had already turned purple with anger.
The two of them are singing the same tune. Aren't they obviously mocking me?!
"Tongtian is my junior brother. How could I disregard our past ties and strike him heavily?"
"Please return, both of you. I have matters to attend to!"
After Yuanshi finished speaking, his figure directly vanished.
Seeing this, Zhunti and Jieyin secretly rejoiced. Knowing that their plan had succeeded, they left Yuxu Palace and returned.
If they had known that this would instead harm their Western Teachings, they probably would have cried for several days.
After the Two Western Saints left, Yuanshi angrily summoned Daoist Randeng to come see him.
Randeng did not dare delay in the slightest and hurried into Yuxu Palace.
Daoist Randeng was an ancient great expert, while Yuanshi was a Saint. Thus, he felt that working for Yuanshi was nothing shameful.
"Master!"
Randeng bowed and spoke.
Yuanshi looked at Daoist Randeng, then said with a grim expression, "The Chan Sect is about to begin preparing to deal with the great tribulation."
"I'll give you a task. Use the old grudges between the Western Teachings and the Witch-Demon Race to provoke them into fighting!"
Yuanshi knew very well that the Two Western Saints had just come specifically to make the Chan Sect start a war so they could profit from it.
Hmph! Since you two are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!
Randeng's eyes filled with apprehension toward the Witch-Demon Race when he heard this.
The Demon Race had been survivors of the ancient war. Every one of them possessed extraordinary strength!
Although Randeng did not know why Yuanshi wanted him to do this, he said nothing. He simply acknowledged the order and left.
Watching Daoist Randeng leave to carry out the task, Yuanshi looked gloomily toward the west.
You Two Western Saints dare to come and mock me?
Although I can't deal with the Interception Sect, I can still show your Western Teachings why the flowers are so red!
Your Western Teachings can be the first to savor the taste of the Investiture of the Gods!
In a certain mountain range somewhere in the prehistoric land.
At that moment, a red-robed Daoist was frantically pursuing two battered figures.
The two being pursued had once belonged to the Demon Race. However, after the Demon Race lost the ancient war, they shamelessly sought refuge with the Western Teachings.
Thus, the two of them had already become disciples of the Western Teachings.
"Bai Ze!"
"What kind of madness has gotten into you?"
"If the Western Teachings find out, you definitely won't get away with it!"
The two men's faces were filled with terror. The God of Slaughter behind them was none other than Bai Ze, a Demon God of the ancient demon court!
Since he had been honored as one of the Ten Demon Gods, there was no need to ask how powerful he was.
Bai Ze naturally had ample reason to pursue the two men. Who could tolerate betrayal from traitors?
In the space not far from this place, Randeng watched the two being pursued and smiled in satisfaction.
He had completed the task so quickly. His heart full of delight, he said, "Master Yuanshi will definitely be pleased when he finds out. Hahaha!"
Whoosh!
Daoist Randeng instantly departed and returned to report.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Your betrayal is intolerable! Repay it with your lives!"
Bai Ze spoke with unquestionable certainty. He then mobilized a vast amount of spiritual power, transforming it into a gigantic fist.
Boom!
The gigantic fist turned into a streak of light and slammed directly into the two traitors.
"The Saint won't let you off!"
The two men spoke their final words before being reduced to ashes.
However, two faint flashes of light still flickered past.
Seeing this, Bai Ze seemed unwilling to accept it. The two traitors had still been taken by the Investiture of the Gods!
"Hmph! You two got off easy!"
After saying this, Bai Ze vanished without a trace.
After the two traitors were killed, the Western Teachings became the first to have names appear on the list.
At that moment, inside the Western Teachings' Spirit Mountain.
A roar shook the heavens.
"Who was it? Who dares lay a hand on my Western Teachings!"
Daoist Jieyin shouted furiously.
Not long ago, they had still been trying to provoke a great war between the Interception Sect and the Chan Sect, intending to use the resulting casualties to fill the list. Yet before the two sects could even begin fighting, their own disciple of the Western Teachings had entered the list first.
Who could possibly remain calm about that?
After Jieyin vented his fury, he immediately began calculating who had schemed against his Western Teachings.
The vast divine abilities of a Saint were revealed without the slightest concealment at that moment.
As long as he wanted to investigate, there was nothing that could be hidden from him...
