Western Sages Sue the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun Makes Arrangements to Give the Western Sages Special Treatment

Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.

Chang'er Dingguang Xian went out wandering and deliberately encountered disciples of the Chan Sect. After provoking them, he returned to the Interception Sect.

He now stood before Jade Palace, completely changing his usual demeanor and putting on an extremely aggrieved expression. He knelt directly before Jade Palace and cried out, "Disciple Chang'er Dingguang Xian requests an audience with Master. Please seek justice for me!"

He wept bitterly, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.

Inside Jade Palace, Tongtian, who had been quietly cultivating, immediately awakened. A trace of confusion appeared in his eternally unchanging expression.

With a thought, the doors of Jade Palace opened.

Dingguang Xian walked into the main hall with an aggrieved expression before kneeling directly before him and crying out, "Please seek justice for me, Master!"

Sovereign Lord of the Heavens asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"Master, those Chan Sect disciples went too far. While I was traveling outside, I happened to encounter some Chan Sect disciples."

"But I heard them slandering the Interception Sect, saying that all its disciples were Bearded and Horned Beings and Wet-born and Egg-born Creatures!"

"They were merely ordinary disciples. Without someone directing them, how would they dare slander the Interception Sect like that?"

"I wanted to step forward and argue with them, but those Chan Sect disciples relied on their superior numbers and tried to surround and attack me. I had no choice but to retreat without fighting."

"Those Chan Sect disciples truly went too far. Please seek justice for me, Master!"

Chang'er Dingguang Xian wept bitterly, repeatedly smashing his forehead against the ground with loud thuds and putting on a posture as though he had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.

Moreover, his words carried an insinuation.

Although he did not say it explicitly, a little thought was all it took to know that Primordial Lord of Heaven was certainly directing them from behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how would a mere disciple dare say such things?

A trace of anger appeared in Sovereign Lord of the Heavens' expression.

In the past, when his Second Brother had not let go of his prejudice, had he not slandered his Interception Sect in exactly this way?

Could it be that, as Chang'er Dingguang Xian claimed, his Second Brother had merely let go of his prejudice on the surface, while secretly plotting something behind his back?

Although anger surged within him, he did not erupt immediately.

As a Heavenly Dao Saint, he naturally had his own considerations.

He immediately performed a deduction.

He then discovered that, just as Chang'er Dingguang Xian had said, before coming to see him, he had indeed gone traveling, encountered Chan Sect disciples, and gotten into a conflict with them.

Although he could not deduce what those Chan Sect disciples had said, the course of events had indeed unfolded exactly as Chang'er Dingguang Xian described!

Tongtian was extremely puzzled. Could it be that his Second Brother's kindness toward him had all been a deception, and that he was actually plotting against him and secretly arranging everything?!

Through his deductions, he believed Dingguang Xian to some extent, but at the same time, he was unwilling to believe that Primordial Lord's kindness toward him had been a deception.

He then looked in the direction of the Chan Sect, his gaze extremely profound.

This matter absolutely could not remain buried in his heart.

He knew that this matter was like a seed of doubt. If it were buried in his heart, he would inevitably become suspicious day after day.

By then, even if it were false, it might become true!

He absolutely could not allow that to happen.

He had to get to the bottom of this matter!

With that thought, Tongtian no longer hesitated and headed straight for the Chan Sect.

Chan Sect, Jade Void Palace.

Primordial Lord looked at the Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure: the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion.

This was the reward he had obtained for assisting Zhenyuanzi.

It could bury Heaven, bury Earth, and bury all living beings!

It was one of the few treasures capable of harming Saints!

After refining it, Primordial Lord had thrown it into the Chaos Pearl.

"I wonder how terrifying this Heaven Suppressing Pavilion would become if it transformed into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Could it bury the Heavenly Dao directly?!"

Primordial Lord muttered to himself, entertaining some fanciful thoughts.

He then looked at another reward: World Destroying Profound Light.

This was a Chaos Realm Divine Ability!

One had to know that he was currently only at the Eighth Heavens of the Saint Realm and had not even entered the Heavenly Dao Realm, let alone the even more profound Chaos Realm.

Yet now, through this divine ability, he could glimpse the magnificence of the Chaos Realm.

Even with his current strength, he could not display the full might of this divine ability, but it was still enough to crush every divine ability in the Great Wilderness!

Primordial Lord's heart stirred.

Before he could begin cultivating World Destroying Profound Light, he suddenly heard Tongtian's voice.

"Second Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

Hmm?

Primordial Lord was immediately stunned.

Something to discuss?

What could Tongtian possibly want?

With a thought, he discovered that Tongtian was in the void not far outside the Chan Sect, quietly waiting.

Although puzzled, Primordial Lord did not hesitate. He set aside his cultivation and walked out of Jade Void Palace.

When Primordial Lord saw Tongtian, he became even more puzzled.

Tongtian's brows twitched slightly, and he wore an expression of wanting to speak but stopping himself, as if he had something weighing on his mind.

Primordial Lord's brows twitched slightly as he asked, "Third Brother, is there something you want to say?"

"You don't need to worry. What can't we say to each other as biological brothers?"

Hearing this, Tongtian finally relaxed.

He had originally worried that this might damage their hard-won fraternal harmony.

But what could biological brothers not say to each other?

He had been overthinking things.

He looked at Primordial Lord and slowly said, "Second Brother, I heard my disciple crying that Chan Sect disciples had slandered my Interception Sect disciples, saying that they were all Bearded and Horned Beings and Wet-born and Egg-born Creatures..."

"Who said that? Which one of my disciples?!"

Before Tongtian could finish, Primordial Lord directly interrupted him.

Although he had not restrained his disciples, he knew that ever since he had reconciled with Tongtian, joined forces to attack the Heavenly Court, and helped Xuanyuan Clan together, the disciples of both sects had changed tremendously.

Something like this absolutely could not have happened.

Besides, he had already begun preparing for Unification of the Three Teachings. For something like this to happen now—wasn't this damn well causing trouble for him?

Don't let me find out who you are. If you dare cause trouble for me at this juncture, I'll deal with you as a traitor to the sect!

"Second Brother, there's no need to get angry."

Seeing Primordial Lord's expression, Tongtian immediately understood everything.

This matter indeed had nothing to do with his Second Brother. It was probably just one of his disciples talking out of turn.

After thinking it over, he no longer dwelled on it. After all, he understood that the two sects had fought for so long that their prejudices ran deep. Even though they had already let them go, it was only natural that a few disciples might still harbor them. Human hearts were unpredictable, after all.

He slowly said, "I also heard about this from Dingguang Xian."

Dingguang Xian!

Damn it, so it was this troublemaker!

Primordial Lord of Heaven had known about Chang'er Dingguang Xian for a long time. This person's resolve was weak.

Had one not seen who went to the Western Teachings during the later Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?

Most had been manipulated and bewitched into going there by the Two Sages of the West.

With a single statement that someone had affinity with the West, they had persuaded countless disciples to leave.

But Chang'er Dingguang Xian was different. He had voluntarily betrayed the sect and fled to the West, where he even became a spy, infiltrating the Interception Sect before defecting during the final battle.

He was the most detestable of all!

Now that he had heard it was Chang'er Dingguang Xian who had said this, Primordial Lord knew without even performing a deduction that Chang'er Dingguang Xian was putting on an act and deliberately sowing discord between the Chan Sect and the Interception Sect.

As for the reason behind it, and whether the Western Teachings had gotten involved, he still needed to perform a deduction.

But Primordial Lord knew one thing: this traitor absolutely could not be allowed to remain. He had to find an opportunity to kill him!

It was fortunate that Tongtian had told him. Otherwise, if a great disaster arose and his plans for Unification of the Three Teachings were affected, killing Dingguang Xian a thousand times would not be enough to quell the fury in his heart!

He looked at Tongtian. "Third Brother, you know very well how I have treated you all these years. Dingguang Xian is your disciple, but what are we? Biological brothers whose blood is thicker than water!"

"You should consider this matter carefully!"

After Primordial Lord finished speaking, he left directly.

Ultimately, this matter had happened because he and Tongtian had reconciled too recently, allowing someone to exploit the opening.

Now, Tongtian had to figure it out for himself.

Tongtian watched Primordial Lord's departing back, his gaze complicated.

He had been the one to distrust his Second Brother.

After all, they were biological brothers. If his Second Brother still held a grudge against him, why would he have helped him earlier?

He looked at Primordial Lord and respectfully said, "Second Brother, please forgive me for what happened today. I will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly!"
