The Four Sages Were Helpless

On the way, Zhunti and Jieyin, the Two Sages of the West, continued comforting themselves inwardly.

It has only been such a short time. Lin Xuan probably hasn't had time to do anything, right?

Perhaps he hadn't even broken through Mount Sumeru's protective formation.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The Mount Sumeru that appeared before Zhunti and Jieyin was even more wretched than Kunlun Mountain had been.

The foremost Blessed Land of the West had been severed into two halves from the middle.

The two enormous fist marks left on the mountain looked like two slaps, ruthlessly smacking Zhunti and Jieyin across the face.

At the same time, all the resources and treasures Zhunti and Jieyin had painstakingly plundered from the East had been carried away without a trace.

Even the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the only thing they could use to decorate their facade, had been stolen.

What was even more outrageous was that the disciples under the Western Sect had all been stripped naked and piled into a heap.

This was equivalent to ripping the faces of the Two Sages of the West right off, throwing them onto the ground, trampling them several times, and spitting on them.

Even with Zhunti and Jieyin's shameless dispositions, they could not endure such humiliation.

At once, the entire Western world was shrouded beneath a Sage's might.

Countless Western living beings knelt on the ground in terror, kowtowing incessantly and praying for the Sage to quell his fury.

A moment later.

A voice like rolling thunder resounded throughout the Primordial World.

"Above, Heavenly Dao, I, Zhunti and Jieyin, swear to remain locked in a life-or-death struggle with Lin Xuan, the Senior Disciple of the Sect of Interception!"

As the voice faded, a pressure from the Heavenly Dao flashed across the Primordial World.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao had witnessed this oath.

After sensing the Heavenly Dao's pressure, Saintess Nuwa, who had withdrawn from the world within Wa Huang Palace, could not help showing a puzzled expression on her lovely face.

"An oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

"What exactly did this disciple of the Interception Sect do to force Zhunti and Jieyin to make an oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

Nuwa immediately began calculating.

At this moment, the secrets of heaven had become clear. Although the calamity aura of the kalpa obstructed her, it still could not stop a Sage's deductions.

In no time, Nuwa had learned the entire sequence of events.

Her expression became rather strange.

No wonder the Two Sages of the West were throwing such a fit. Lin Xuan had actually wrecked the home they had built through countless hardships.

Adding in Grand Supreme Elder Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerate from earlier, this Senior Disciple of the Sect of Interception had truly accomplished something unprecedented.

He had directly raided the homes of four Sages.

It was likely that no one this bold and ruthless would ever appear in the Primordial World again.

In fact, Nuwa was not the only one.

The great quasi-sages in the Primordial World, including Zhen Yuanzi, Ming He, and Kun Peng, were all left speechless by what Lin Xuan had done.

Even Empress Pingxin in the Six Paths of Reincarnation was stunned.

This Lin Xuan was simply even more lawless than the Witch Clan had been back then.

The only person delighted by this matter was Sect Master Tongtian, who was trapped in Zixiao Palace beyond the Thirty-three Heavens.

He excitedly slapped his thigh and laughed aloud:

"Hahahaha, good!"

"Just as expected of my eldest disciple, Tongtian!"

"Beautifully done!"

He then mocked Old Daoist Hongjun, who was sitting on a meditation cushion nearby:

"So what if you trapped me in Zixiao Palace? The disciples under my Interception Sect can still stand on their own and grow strong!"

Upon hearing this, Old Daoist Hongjun's face twitched slightly.

He inwardly cursed the four Sages.

What a bunch of useless trash.

Four dignified Sages had been toyed with by an ant until they were utterly turned around. Their own daoist abodes had even been raided by someone else!

Elsewhere.

Grand Supreme Elder Laozi had just settled his disciple Xuandu.

He also heard the oath to the Heavenly Dao made by Zhunti and Jieyin.

The corner of his eye twitched, and he subconsciously exchanged a glance with Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

Could it be that those two had also suffered Lin Xuan's depredations at Mount Sumeru?

Laozi immediately moved his mind and sensed the situation.

Through the secrets of heaven, he sensed the miserable state of Mount Sumeru.

Laozi suddenly realized something.

Compared with Mount Sumeru, which had been smashed in half, and Jade Void Palace, which had not been left with so much as a single roof tile, he seemed to have gotten off rather lightly.

At the very least, Lin Xuan had merely plundered all the Innate Spiritual Treasures he had left here, along with all his countless eons of accumulated treasures.

He had not dismantled the entire Grand Supreme Eight Sceneries Palace.

At this thought, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi inexplicably felt somewhat better.

Just then.

Two streaks of golden light crossed the horizon.

The figures of the Two Sages of the West, Zhunti and Jieyin, appeared.

At this moment, the two Sages could no longer maintain their compassionate expressions.

Anyone who discovered that the wealth they had painstakingly accumulated had been completely looted by someone else probably would not be in a good mood.

These four Sages, all suffering from the same misfortune, fell into an awkward silence after meeting one another.

They did not know what to say.
