The Two Western Saints' faces turned pale, and they hurriedly used their ultimate techniques.
They no longer dared to hold the slightest contempt. If they still refused to go all out, they might end up either dead or seriously injured.
Zhunti shouted, "Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!"
In an instant, a seven-colored glass-like tree slowly materialized, with a large number of treasures hanging from its branches.
Boom!
Zhunti's hands constantly shifted through complicated incantations. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree erupted with Seven-Colored Divine Light, which directly collided with the banner energy of the Pangu Banner!
Jieyin was unwilling to fall behind. He directly summoned the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner to protect the two of them!
If all five banners were collected, their defensive power would definitely be exceptionally formidable.
However, a single banner in Jieyin's possession was not enough to withstand the Pangu Banner.
Having no other choice, Jieyin made up his mind. In an instant, golden light shot in every direction!
The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit appeared beneath Jieyin!
With the help of two defensive treasures of immense power, they finally managed to hold off Yuanshi.
"Calm down, Brother Yuanshi!"
"This matter was our Western Teachings' fault for failing to recognize our limits!"
"The great tribulation is about to arrive. If you attack the two of us now, won't that only benefit Tongtian?"
Jieyin hurriedly spoke to Yuanshi.
He had truly underestimated Yuanshi. Yuanshi had actually managed to pin both brothers down and grind them into the ground all by himself.
If the fight continued, the Two Western Saints certainly would not come out of it well.
Moreover, if they could not recover from their injuries before the great tribulation arrived, the Western Teachings would surely be destroyed!
At this moment, the Two Western Saints could only beg Yuanshi for mercy.
Seeing that Jieyin had already admitted defeat, Yuanshi said coldly, "When you were at Yuxu Palace just now, you weren't this timid!"
"What's the matter? Why aren't you so arrogant now that you're in someone else's home?"
The Two Western Saints' faces turned blue, white, red, and purple, becoming terribly ugly. They could only tuck their tails between their legs and admit defeat.
"Sorry for the trouble!"
"In front of you, how could my junior brother and I possibly have the nerve to act arrogant?"
Zhunti also forced a smile as he fawned over him.
Yuanshi still refused to let the matter go. His gaze shifted toward the disciples of the Western Teachings.
He knew that he definitely could not kill the Two Western Saints, but injuring them would be much easier.
Once the Two Western Saints were injured, wouldn't their disciples all end up on the Investiture of the Gods?
At the thought of such a wonderful outcome, Yuanshi once again cast an unfriendly look at the two of them.
The Two Western Saints had already begun to panic as they watched Yuanshi's eyes.
Could it be that Yuanshi intended to continue pressing them?
They absolutely could not allow that to happen!
"Brother Yuanshi, don't be rash!"
"You know that the Western Teachings alone could never provide enough candidates for the Investiture of the Gods!"
"But think about it. What if the entire Interception Sect were put on it?"
"As long as Tongtian is forced onto the Investiture of the Gods, everything will no longer be up to him!"
Zhunti hurriedly tried to persuade him.
After hearing Zhunti's words, Yuanshi began to hesitate.
There were not many people on the Western side to begin with, and the disciples of the Western Teachings were even fewer.
Even if all the disciples of the Western Teachings were put on the list, it would still be of no use.
But if all the disciples of the Interception Sect were put on it, things would be different. The saying that ten thousand immortals paid court to it was no exaggeration. The Interception Sect had far too many disciples—more than enough to fill the Investiture of the Gods.
Although he knew this, Yuanshi had forced Tongtian countless times and still failed to get him onto the list. As a result, the Interception Sect had not entered the tribulation. Thinking of this, Yuanshi became even more furious!
Jieyin seemed to know what Yuanshi was thinking and immediately continued, "Brother Yuanshi, are you troubled because Tongtian has not entered the Investiture of the Gods?"
"You went to Biyou Palace twice to force him to show himself, but he merely hid inside Biyou Palace. He even brought out the God-Slaying Spear and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, yet he still refused to appear."
"Based on this, I conclude that Tongtian has not completely recovered his position as a Saint."
"Perhaps each time, he is merely using some special method to unleash Saintly might!"
Hearing this, Yuanshi felt that Jieyin's words were not without reason.
The Three Pure Ones had separated long ago. Even if Tongtian had encountered some opportunity, Yuanshi would not have known about it.
Tongtian had discarded his Saint position only a short while ago. It was certainly impossible for him to attain Dao again so quickly!
Being able to heal his injuries would already be quite impressive.
From this perspective, the pressure Tongtian released should have been fake!
Seeing that Yuanshi's thoughts were no longer focused on the two of them, the Two Western Saints immediately felt much better.
This also meant that the situation was not yet at its worst.
"Speak. What method do you have?"
Yuanshi stared at the Two Western Saints and asked.
Hearing this, the Two Western Saints spoke in unison, "It's very simple. Why don't the three of us go to Golden Ao Island together?"
"With the three of us, we can forcibly suppress Tongtian and make him sign the Investiture of the Gods!"
Yuanshi's face remained expressionless.
Relying on himself alone, he indeed could not break through Golden Ao Island's restrictions. Even if he did, Tongtian still had the God-Slaying Spear and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation Diagram.
"What you've said is merely a guess. What if Tongtian has truly recovered?"
"We need to find a reason. Only then can we break through his tortoise shell openly and aboveboard!"
Yuanshi looked at the Two Western Saints as he spoke.
Hearing Yuanshi say this, the great weight in Jieyin's heart was finally lifted, while he sneered repeatedly inwardly.
They felt that Yuanshi was still a thoroughly self-righteous hypocrite!
"This matter is simple. Leave it to the two of us!"
"Brother Yuanshi only needs to let us handle it!"
Zhunti said with a sly grin.
"Very well. Then let's set out now!"
With that, Yuanshi immediately sped toward Golden Ao Island.
The Two Western Saints hurriedly followed.
Tongtian had discarded his Saint position, so he certainly had not recovered yet. They had to act quickly while they had the chance!
Once Tongtian came out, the three of them would pressure him together. At that point, he would have to sign, whether he wanted to or not!
The disciples of Golden Ao Island were still enjoying their temporary peace, unaware that danger had arrived.
After the disciples of the Chan Sect had come to cause trouble, Zhao Gongming, Duobao, and the others had kept a close watch on the situation outside the island!
They had become smarter by now. Even if thunder shook the heavens outside, they would not leave.
This was a Saint's dojo, and as long as they stayed on the island, their safety was guaranteed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, in the deep sea outside Golden Ao Island, wave after wave of aura surged toward the island like rolling boulders!
The disciples of the Interception Sect also discovered what was happening outside.
Whoosh!
Duobao immediately appeared and said gravely, "Something has happened outside!"
Zhao Gongming also said with certainty, "Someone else is trying to ambush us!"
"How outrageous! If I could leave the island, I would definitely show them why the flowers are so red!"
A crowd of disciples spoke angrily.
Duobao's eyes were filled with worry. Then he said firmly, "No matter what happens, you absolutely must not leave the island!"
