Chan Sect Gains Shen Gongbao Once More!

He had been absolutely right. Tongtian must have learned something, which was why he knew the Tribulation Responder was here!

Luckily, the moment they sensed Tongtian had emerged, they followed him. Otherwise, Tongtian would have gotten a huge bargain for nothing!

"This person is needed by the Western Teachings!"

At this moment, the Two Western Saints erupted with their auras together.

"Ha ha ha!"

"My Chan Sect is the one most fated to have this person!"

Yuanshi laughed loudly without yielding an inch, unleashing his own aura as he confronted the Two Western Saints.

Though they had not yet come to blows, the eyes of the three Saints were already blazing with fury. Their gazes had begun fighting first!

Seeing this, Tongtian secretly reveled in it.

The moment benefits were involved, these people were practically ready to fight. Yet they still wanted to join forces to scheme against me during the great tribulation?

They truly had no idea how high the heavens were or how deep the earth was.

Boom!

At this moment, the auras unleashed by the three Saints collided, producing thunderous roars.

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao gained an even deeper understanding of a Saint's power. He did not dare play any little tricks and obediently waited for them to settle their dispute.

He also knew that if he made a choice now, he would be disrespecting the other four Saints. He was not stupid enough to do that.

He could not understand why he was like a fragrant steamed bun everyone wanted a bite of, nor did he understand what they could gain from him.

Yuanshi continuously unleashed his aura, clashing against those of the Two Western Saints, without giving any thought to what Taishang might do.

Although Taishang was at the Fifth Heaven realm, his offensive power was not strong.

Thus, Yuanshi did not fear his Senior Brother Taishang.

Still, he was somewhat anxious, afraid that Taishang might make the first move and snatch Shen Gongbao away.

Just as he was at a loss over what to do, a good idea suddenly popped into his mind.

As long as Shen Gongbao was already in his hands, what was there to fear?

In an instant, Yuanshi shouted, "Banner, emerge!"

Yuanshi formed hand seals, transforming the Pangu Banner into a sphere of light that instantly covered Shen Gongbao.

The other Saints immediately turned to look at Yuanshi, but Yuanshi merely said indifferently, "I only wish to protect Shen Gongbao. Besides, Tongtian, your Interception Sect is already in a state where ten thousand immortals come to pay court. Why must you compete with me for him?"

Hearing Yuanshi say this, Tongtian knew Yuanshi wanted to kick him out of the competition first.

So Tongtian played along and said, "Are there so few disciples in your sect, then?"

The Two Western Saints paid no heed to Tongtian's words. Only then did they come to their senses—indeed, driving Tongtian out first was the best course of action!

Tongtian had too many disciples, and most of them were demons who had taken human form. If someone like Shen Gongbao, who had also taken form from a great demon, felt a certain sense of belonging toward the Interception Sect, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, the Two Western Saints also wanted to drive Tongtian out first.

Taishang understood this well too and said to Tongtian, "Indeed. Your Interception Sect has millions upon millions of disciples, while my Human Sect has only two. Do not compete with my Human Sect for him."

Jieyin hurriedly chimed in as well. "Yes, yes. Your Interception Sect no longer needs to take in so many people. There is no need to compete with my Western Teachings either."

After Jieyin finished speaking, Zhunti added, "Shen Gongbao is truly too suited to my Western Teachings. I hope Senior Brother Tongtian can yield Shen Gongbao to us!"

Seeing them join forces against him, Tongtian's face instantly darkened, as though a raging tempest were about to descend.

"Hmph. Since you have joined forces against me, then my Interception Sect will not take this person. Forget it!"

"Even if you gave him to me, I would not want him!"

With that, Tongtian vanished directly into the void.

At this moment, Tongtian truly admired himself. His acting was simply superb!

Seeing their greatest rival leave, the four Saints felt as though a great stone had fallen from their chests.

Yuanshi swept his gaze over the other three Saints and slowly said, "This person is indeed suited to my Chan Sect. I shall take him away directly!"

With that, Yuanshi immediately controlled the Pangu Banner, intending to wrap up Shen Gongbao and return straight to Kunlun.

Seeing this, the Two Western Saints flew into a rage.

They had finally forced Tongtian away. How could they possibly let Yuanshi pick the peach and leave?

"Senior Brother Yuanshi! You want to take him away without saying anything? That is not appropriate, is it?"

Zhunti immediately stopped Yuanshi.

"Hmph!"

Yuanshi snorted coldly and stared fearlessly at the Two Western Saints, controlling the Pangu Banner to launch an attack at them at once.

When the Two Western Saints saw that Yuanshi attacked them directly without saying a word, their expressions immediately turned ugly.

Was he trying to bully them because they lacked an Innate Supreme Treasure and could not stop him?

Worst of all, if Yuanshi truly forced his way through, there was genuinely nothing the two of them could do.

At that moment, Taishang stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother, what you're doing is indeed improper!"

Seeing Taishang's actions, Yuanshi said, "What? Even Senior Brother won't let me leave?"

With that, Yuanshi directly brought out a defensive Magic Treasure, shielding himself within it.

At this sight, fury flickered in Taishang's eyes as well.

He had originally been capable of taking Shen Gongbao away. After all, he held two powerful Magic Treasures in his hands—more than enough to leave safely with Shen Gongbao.

But he had been careless. Yuanshi had actually used the Pangu Banner first to enshroud Shen Gongbao.

Moreover, Yuanshi also possessed two Magic Treasures of immense power, capable of both attack and defense. Taishang could only helplessly step aside.

"Senior Brother truly is a reasonable and understanding man."

"In that case, I'll take Shen Gongbao and leave first. My thanks."

Seeing that Taishang had no intention of fighting him, Yuanshi uttered two hypocritical remarks before instantly sweeping Shen Gongbao away with him.

Seeing that Yuanshi had already taken the man away, the three of them could only leave with helpless looks on their faces, their spirits low.

When Tongtian saw that Yuanshi had brought Shen Gongbao back to the Chan Sect, his eyes instantly filled with excitement, while he struggled to suppress the smile on his face.

If he really burst out laughing, the impact would be rather bad.

Especially when he imagined how smug Yuanshi would surely be after bringing Shen Gongbao back to the Chan Sect, the smile on his face became even harder to hold back.

At that moment, Tongtian sat down on a meditation cushion within Biyou Palace, pondering how to scheme around a talent like Shen Gongbao for the best possible effect.
