"Our Interception Sect rewards and punishes fairly. Your cultivation isn't weak, Chang Er, so what are you afraid of? If I wanted to deal with Chang Er, no one could stop me—not even you, Senior Disciple Brother Duobao or Senior Disciple Sister!"
"Hmph! If I didn't know you hadn't been fooling around with Chang Er, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"
Xian Jun snorted coldly as he stared at the toady before him.
The disciples of the sect said he had a strange and extremely violent personality. Now that Master had not approved the Sect Rules he had proposed, he did not mind making that reputation a reality.
However, Jin Guang, an Attendant Immortal, was not a suitable target to start with.
"Yes, yes, yes. Senior Disciple Brother is deeply principled. Jin Guang definitely won't fool around with Chang Er again..."
Jin Guang appeared to submit, but inwardly, he hated Chang Er to death.
He had clearly done nothing, yet Senior Disciple Brother had cursed him out like a dog. It was all that bastard Chang Er's fault.
"You're an Attendant Immortal. As long as you know not to fool around, that's enough. I'll let this one go for now. If there's a next time, don't blame your Senior Disciple Brother for being ruthless!"
"Go on, go on. Your senior brother is tired!"
After warning Jin Guang, Xian Junyu did not want to waste any more words on him. After all, Jin Guang was Master's Attendant Immortal.
He could disregard any disciple's feelings, but he still had to show Master some respect.
"Yes, this junior will remember!"
Without lingering, Jin Guang immediately slipped away and flew off. His speed was not the least bit slower than Chang Er's.
Once no one disturbed him, Xian Junyu spent a long time thinking in his cave dwelling. Master's refusal to approve his proposal had indeed created some difficulties for him.
But difficulties were normal. If there were no difficulties, how could he change the Interception Sect?
"Master's disagreement doesn't mean I can't do anything. Since that's the case, I'll do it myself. Aren't they saying I'm naturally violent? Then I'll make that reputation a reality!"
He made up his mind and decided to personally carry out the matter. He would just have to see who was unlucky.
Ten years. A full ten years.
Every day, he wandered aimlessly around Mount Kunlun. Ten years passed in the same way, and during that time, he caught two Inner Sect Disciples devouring Blood Sacrifice. He acted forcefully and struck the Sect Rules into them.
He completely cemented his reputation for having a strange and violent personality. Tongtian did not interfere much, and after he used those two disciples as examples, the disciples of the Interception Sect became much more restrained.
One day, after returning from searching the mountain, Xian Junyu was cursing under his breath.
"Damn it! I've only dealt with two people in ten years. These people are way too timid. Weren't they all so arrogant before? Why did they all become cowards the moment I acted...?"
"No one's stepped forward for so long. They're wasting my time!"
Actually, it was perfectly normal that no one had stepped forward to commit crimes at the height of things. Xian Junyu not only possessed the cultivation of a Late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but was also the highest-ranking person in the Interception Sect apart from the Sect Master.
Anyone who could enter the Interception Sect on Mount Kunlun was sharp-minded.
Who would offend someone with such status and strength? That would simply be suicide.
They might have been somewhat arrogant, but they were not stupid.
Just then, the heavens and earth suddenly shook, as though an earth dragon had turned over. The originally clear sky also gradually darkened.
"What's... going on? What happened to cause this upheaval in the heavens and earth?"
Looking at the strange phenomenon, Xian Junyu was completely baffled.
At the same time, the bell summoning the disciples of the Interception Sect began to ring.
"Dong, dong, dong... ×9!"
"Nine rings of the bell? Something major has happened!"
Xian Junyu immediately transformed into a Light Stream and flew toward the Daoist Sanctuary.
Normally, the bell rang only three times when summoning the disciples. Nine was the number of the Nine Extremes and signified an urgent summons. Unless something major had happened, it would never ring nine times.
Xian Junyu was the first to arrive at the Daoist Sanctuary. Duobao, Jin Ling, and the other Personal Disciples arrived one after another, followed by the Seven Attendant Immortals and the Inner Sect Disciples.
Tongtian stood solemnly at the highest point. Once everyone of sufficient status had arrived, no one spoke. They simply waited in silence.
Seeing that all the disciples of the Interception Sect had arrived, Tongtian finally spoke.
"The Witch Clan's Fire Ancestor Zhurong and Water Ancestor Gonggong fought at Mount Buzhou. After Gonggong defeated Zhurong, he angrily rammed into Mount Buzhou, causing the Heavenly Pillar to collapse!"
"Now that the Heavenly Pillar is gone, the sky has torn open. The Heavenly River is surging, and the laws of the Primordial World have fallen into complete chaos..."
At these words, all the disciples of the Interception Sect exchanged glances.
Mount Buzhou was the Heavenly Pillar connecting heaven and earth. Now that it had collapsed, wouldn't heaven and earth draw together?
Upon hearing this, the corner of Xian Junyu's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Houtu had transformed into reincarnation and completed the Earthly Dao. Through the reincarnation of all living beings, she could obtain an endless stream of merit, paving a path forward for the Witch Clan.
With this endless merit and the two Ancestral Witches, it might not have been impossible for them to return to the earth and rule the land once more in the future.
Now, both Ancestral Witches had died, and they had even knocked down the Heavenly Pillar.
They said water and fire could not coexist, but Gonggong, this useless fool, had already defeated Zhurong. Why had he still rammed into Mount Buzhou?
He could die if he wanted, but he had instantly squandered the immense merit Houtu had gained by transforming into reincarnation, while also leaving behind a huge debt.
With such an enormous debt on their backs, the Witch Clan probably no longer had any chance of returning to the land.
He was simply too much trouble!
Thinking of this, Xian Junyu was speechless to the extreme.
He had never seen such a useless ally.
However, in his previous life on the Blue Star, another version of the story had also circulated. In that version, Zhurong and Gonggong had fought because they had been schemed against by the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao did not want to give the Witch Clan another chance to rise, and it also intended to weaken the Earthly Dao.
After defeating Zhurong, Gonggong discovered the plot. That was why he had angrily rammed into Mount Buzhou, intending to fight the Heavenly Dao to the death.
He did not know whether this version of the rumor was true.
But no matter the reason, Gonggong's status as a useless ally was beyond dispute.
Just look at the Demon Emperor Taiyi of the Heavenly Realm.
At the final moment, as the Great Sun, he had not only traded places with his nephew Lu Ya and granted him freedom, but had also given Lu Ya the immense merit of the Sun Illuminating All Things. With this protective charm, anyone who wanted to harm Lu Ya would have to consider whether they could bear the resulting karma.
By contrast, that useless Gonggong had left nothing good for his own sister. Instead, he had left behind a pile of bad debts.
He had cut off the Witch Clan's path forward and indirectly weakened the Earthly Dao, leaving it suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
In this Primordial World, no one was more troublesome than Gonggong.
After viciously criticizing Gonggong in his heart, Xian Junyu looked toward Master Tongtian on the high platform.
"Now that the heavens and earth are in chaos, none of the disciples may leave the mountain. Wait until your master and the other Sages stabilize the heavens and earth before doing anything else!"
The heavens and earth were in such chaos that leaving rashly was still dangerous. Tongtian did not want his disciples to perish at a time like this.
"Yes, disciples respectfully obey Master's command!"
The disciples of the Interception Sect agreed one after another. The heavens and earth were now filled with danger, and their cultivation was low. Naturally, if they could avoid going out, they would.
Only Xian Junyu remained where he was without speaking, calculating something in his heart.
Tongtian looked at the disciples, then at his distracted eldest disciple, and directly vanished.
Xian Junyu knew that the several Sages could definitely resolve this matter. With his cultivation, he could not help at all in saving the Primordial World.
He could not help with saving the Primordial World, but he could act in another matter.
