Two Sages of the West Vomit Blood in Succession; Primordial Lord Lays Out the Five Emperors

Primordial Lord had already made plans in his heart.

Maitreya alone was not enough; Ksitigarbha would absolutely not escape either!

He looked at Xing Tian, swept him up with a large hand, and directly took him away.

A mere Great Witch was like an ant to Primordial Lord.

Then, a mighty saintly voice entered the ears of the Heavenly Origin Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals.

"I have other uses for this Xing Tian. You shall go with the Xuanyuan Clan to pursue Chiyou."

The Twelve Golden Immortals were awestruck, recognizing their master's voice. They respectfully replied, "Your disciple obeys."

They then stopped paying attention to Xing Tian and headed straight for Chiyou.

Primordial Lord looked at Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality and Tongtian. "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, I have other plans, so I won't say more."

Without waiting for them to speak further, he left directly, heading straight for the Underworld.

Xing Tian, as a Great Witch of the Witch Clan, had a considerable relationship with the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

Now, he was sparing Xing Tian's life in exchange for Ksitigarbha's life.

One life for another, and he didn't even have to lift a finger.

Two birds with one stone!

Saints moved with incredible speed. In a short while, they arrived at Fengdu City.

A boundless saintly might pressed down upon heaven and earth, sweeping through the vast Underworld.

Fengdu quickly emerged from Fengdu City and looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven, respectfully asking, "May I know why the Jade Purity Saint visits the Underworld today?"

Primordial Lord directly threw Xing Tian out, his voice booming.

"Xing Tian was deceived by the Western Teachings and the Human-Witch Chiyou, joining the Battle of Zhuolu and nearly dying. I have some acquaintance with your master, Houtu. Considering he is also of the Witch Clan, I have brought him here."

Fengdu was stunned.

There was such a thing?

He looked at Xing Tian, covered in wounds, even his shield broken, and knew that the Jade Purity Saint was not lying.

After all, this was a Saint; there was no need to deceive a junior like himself.

Fengdu looked at Xing Tian, sighed, and slowly said, "Xing Tian, I know you did it for the good of the Witch Clan, unwilling to see them suffer, which is why you aided Chiyou."

"But that Chiyou married into the Human Race, becoming a Human-Witch, with only three parts of his bloodline remaining. How dare he claim to be of the Witch Clan?"

"You acted foolishly in this matter!"

"Young... Young Venerable..."

Xing Tian stepped forward and bowed, feeling somewhat awkward.

He had calmed down and understood the matter himself; his previous actions were indeed rash.

Bowing to Fengdu now was not improper. Fengdu was Houtu's disciple, and Houtu was a former Ancestral Witch. He naturally dared not be disrespectful to Fengdu.

"It is good that you understand. You will remain in the Underworld from now on. As for your other clansmen, you need not worry. I will go to the Witch Clan's tribe and guide them all to the Underworld."

Fengdu spoke calmly.

"Young Venerable, how is Ancestral Witch Houtu currently? All the people of the Witch Clan eagerly await Ancestral Witch Houtu; when will she return to the Witch Clan?"

Xing Tian asked, with a hint of tears in his eyes.

The former Twelve Ancestral Witches once shook the Great Wilderness, but now only Houtu remained.

The vast Witch Clan was also gradually declining, how desolate.

He looked at Xing Tian with slightly softened eyes and said, "Rest assured, it will not be long before my master returns to the Witch Clan."

Although he knew that his master was eternally imprisoned in the Underworld and returning to the Witch Clan was a vain hope, ever since the Jade Purity Saint met his master and left last time, he noticed a change in his master. She was no longer disheartened.

She had even lectured him last time, informing him that she had formed an alliance with the Three Pure Ones and would walk out of the Underworld in the future, urging him to make plans early.

Though he didn't know what had happened, he knew that everything was developing in a positive direction.

He looked at Primordial Lord and respectfully said, "Fengdu thanks the Jade Purity Saint for returning Xing Tian."

"It is nothing. Is your master currently free?"

Primordial Lord's expression was indifferent. Now that Xing Tian had been returned, it was time to handle some matters.

Before Fengdu could answer, a voice came from the Palace of Peace.

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, you may enter the Palace of Peace for a chat."

Primordial Lord did not hesitate. His figure flashed, and he directly entered the Palace of Peace.

Houtu sat at the head of the table, the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel shining brilliantly. Primordial Lord could feel that since Houtu mastered the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel, her strength had been gradually increasing, and she now had a chance to break through the Heavenly Dao's blockade.

And she had allied with him. This was a great help for the future Unification of the Three Teachings and the establishment of the Daoist Gate!

For this reason, Houtu looked at Primordial Lord with a smile, her eyes filled with shock.

This Primordial Lord has actually become so much stronger!

She could tell that the current Primordial Lord was worlds apart from when they last met. Although his realm hadn't increased significantly, his aura had become much deeper, giving her the feeling of facing a Primordial Chaos Great Dao Demon God!

Such a cultivation speed was simply too fast!

She was shocked, but didn't dwell on it.

After all, the changes in Primordial Lord were too great. He had previously been able to gift her the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel, a treasure that broke through the Heavenly Dao's restrictions.

Was it a problem if his cultivation speed had simply increased a bit now?

No problem.

She looked at Primordial Lord and spoke directly, "Daoist Primordial Lord, you came to the Underworld this time and even saved the Great Witch Xing Tian. Houtu thanks Daoist Primordial Lord first."

"However, Daoist Primordial Lord, you shouldn't have just come to deliver Xing Tian, right?"

She got straight to the point, without any pleasantries.

As an Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan, she was accustomed to being direct and didn't understand the use of so-called pleasantries.

Primordial Lord didn't mind. "Indeed, there is one matter that requires Daoist Houtu's assistance."

"What matter?"

Houtu was somewhat confused.

She couldn't even leave the Underworld, yet he needed her help with something?

Could it be related to the Underworld?

Primordial Lord cut to the chase, "Those Two Sages of the West have repeatedly offended us Three Pure Ones and show no remorse. Today, I have come to ask Daoist Houtu to kill Ksitigarbha, or to make Ksitigarbha leave the Western Teachings!"

"Currently, Ksitigarbha is in the Underworld. For Daoist Houtu, accomplishing this should be very simple, right?"

Houtu understood Primordial Lord's intentions.

He returned Xing Tian and then used her hand to kill Ksitigarbha – a masterful plan of using a borrowed knife to kill.

However, Houtu didn't refuse, nor did she have any reason to refuse.

She had known for a long time that Ksitigarbha was a pawn placed in the Underworld by the Two Sages of the West.

In the past, she had been disheartened and unwilling to concern herself with the affairs of the Great Wilderness, so she had let Ksitigarbha be.

Now, she was bound to break the Heavenly Dao's restrictions and leave the Underworld. Having an informant from the Mystic Gate by her side was ultimately an annoyance.

She looked at Primordial Lord. "Daoist Primordial Lord, you don't need to worry about this matter. Even if you hadn't come today, I would have dealt with Ksitigarbha in the future."

Disobedience meant death!

This was Houtu's attitude towards Ksitigarbha.

"If that is the case, then I will trouble Daoist Houtu."

Primordial Lord didn't linger any longer and left the Underworld.

Now that Maitreya was dead and Ksitigarbha was in danger, the destiny of the Western Teachings was bound to suffer a severe blow!

After all, the destiny of a sect was closely related to its disciples.

If a sect didn't even have a single Grand Unity, and its disciples were of mixed quality, how could its destiny be strong?

For example, Ancestor Styx in the Netherworld Sea of Blood had emulated the Three Pure Ones to establish a sect, the Killing Sect. However, his sect was mostly composed of the Asura race and demons from the time of Demon Ancestor Rahu. There were few Grand Unity cultivators, and the disciples were of mixed quality. This resulted in his sect, despite being established for many years, not being well-known in the Great Wilderness.

Now, the Western Teachings had first lost Maitreya, and then Ksitigarbha. If the Two Sages of the West learned of this, who knew what their expressions would be.

They would probably be so angered that they would spit blood!

A smile appeared on Primordial Lord's face. The thought alone was satisfying.

It was time to let the Two Sages of the West know the news.

Afterward, he directly removed the Heavenly Mystery Compass, no longer concealing the heavenly secrets.

The moment the Heavenly Mystery Compass was removed, the Two Sages of the West learned of Maitreya's demise.

Their minds were greatly shaken, and Jieyin even spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face contorted, and his heart felt as if it were being pierced by countless silver needles and gnawed by myriad ants, causing immense pain.

"Maitreya! Our Western destiny!"

"Who exactly dared to kill my disciple, they are truly not human!!!"

Jieyin roared repeatedly, his robes stained with blood, looking utterly miserable!
