The four exchanged glances, and in the end, Zhunti was the first to speak:
"Fellow Daoists, Tongtian's wicked disciple, Lin Xuan, relies on the Exotic Treasure he possesses to act recklessly, destroying our sacred cultivation grounds. He truly does not understand the will of Heaven, and his crime warrants execution!"
Hearing Zhunti say this, and recalling the miserable state their own daoist grounds had been reduced to,
Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's expressions darkened at once.
In the end, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, your words are most reasonable. However, this child is exceptionally cunning, and the Exotic Treasure on his person excels at concealment. Moreover, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is currently underway, filling Heaven and Earth with baleful energy and throwing the secrets of Heaven into chaos."
"We are likewise unable to calculate his whereabouts."
"If we act carelessly, we may once again fall victim to his schemes."
After saying this, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi seemingly swept an indifferent glance at Daoist Zhunti.
Hearing Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's words, Daoist Zhunti's cheek twitched slightly.
He knew that Grand Supreme Elder Laozi was secretly blaming him.
Earlier, he had confidently guaranteed that he could locate Golden Ao Island and wipe out all the disciples of the Interception Sect in one fell swoop.
Who could have expected Lin Xuan to turn the tables and toy with him instead?
It had even resulted in both his and Taishang's daoist grounds being looted clean. He had failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice instead.
Zhunti immediately came to hate Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, who had already turned into tribulation ash.
It was all that damn rabbit spirit's fault.
He could not even handle such a minor matter, yet had caused Zhunti such grievous losses.
He was good for nothing but ruining things!
Just you wait until you fall into my hands!
Then Zhunti forced a sorrowful smile onto his face and said:
"Fellow Daoist brothers, this matter was indeed the result of my carelessness."
"However, we must still work together to locate that little thief Lin Xuan as soon as possible, lest he defile the moral treasures we obtained from our hands and endanger the common people of the Primordial World."
Hearing Zhunti say this, a thoughtful look crossed the faces of Grand Supreme Elder Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
That was right.
That wicked disciple of Tongtian, Lin Xuan, had plundered so many rare treasures from their daoist grounds.
They had to find him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, what if he gave up all restraint and directly ruined every one of those rare treasures?
At once, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded and spoke in unison:
"Fellow Daoist, your words are most reasonable. For the sake of the common people of the Primordial World, we shall join forces to deduce the secrets of Heaven, find Lin Xuan, and exterminate him!"
After speaking these righteous words, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi sat down cross-legged with Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
In an instant,
a vast, rotating Chaos Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram flew out from Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's crown aperture.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate also brought out his personal supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin exchanged a glance when they saw this.
It worked!
Then they too brought out their prized supreme treasures:
the Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree and the Twelve-Petaled Merit Golden Lotuses.
For a time,
the entire Shouyang Mountain was completely enveloped by the auras of these four Saints' supreme treasures.
Even the slightest trace of aura that leaked out triggered celestial phenomena.
The mighty figures throughout the Primordial World were all shocked by the actions of the four Saints.
What was going on?
The four Heavenly Dao Saints were actually joining forces to deduce the secrets of Heaven!
Throughout the history of the Primordial World, this was the first time anyone at the level of a Quasi-Saint had been targeted by four Saints working together.
Even Di Jun and Taiyi, the lords of the demon race who had once dominated the Primordial World, as well as the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the witch race, had never received such treatment.
Judging from this situation,
Lin Xuan was surely doomed.
He definitely could not escape the deductions of the four Saints.
One who did not become a Saint would ultimately remain an ant.
What a pity that Lin Xuan possessed such peerless talent.
If he had been born a few tribulations earlier, he might have already attained sainthood.
Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."
The four Saints joined hands, and their vast, boundless divine senses and mana surged directly into the heavenly secrets of the Primordial World.
They sought to deduce where Lin Xuan and the many disciples of the Interception Sect were hiding.
However, before the Chaos Grand Formation of Stars, empowered by the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead, everything they did was ultimately futile.
After all, the Chaos Bead represented the One that had escaped.
Even the Heavenly Dao could not trace its whereabouts, much less the Heavenly Dao Saints such as Yuanshi.
After spending a long time at it, Yuanshi and the other three Saints all opened their eyes in disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
"Why can't the four of us, working together, deduce Lin Xuan's location from the heavenly secrets?"
It was not only Yuanshi and the other three Saints. The Primordial Mighty Ones who had been watching this place closely were also filled with disbelief upon seeing the result.
This was simply inconceivable!
It was as if Lin Xuan had publicly slapped the four Saints across the face, yet the four Saints were blind men who simply could not find him.
How had a mere Quasi-Saint accomplished this?
Then a thought flashed through everyone's minds.
Lin Xuan definitely possessed an unrivaled supreme treasure!
Yuanshi, Taishang, and the other two Saints had also guessed this, but they were helpless.
It was not as if they could turn over every inch of the boundless Primordial World to search for him.
After a long silence,
Daoist Zhunti tentatively spoke:
"Lin Xuan must be an anomaly of the Heavenly Dao. Why don't we ask our teacher to take action?"
