The Two Sages of the West Accuse the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun Arranges a Special Plan for the Two Sages of the West
Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.
Chang'er Dingguang Xian went out to wander for a while, deliberately encountered disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and after actively provoking them, he returned to the Intercepting Sect.
He stood before the Jade Palace at this moment, his usual demeanor gone, revealing an extremely wronged expression. He knelt directly before the Jade Palace and said with great grievance, "Disciple Chang'er Dingguang Xian requests an audience with Master. Please, Master, uphold justice for your disciple!"
He spoke with tears streaming down his face, as if he had suffered immense injustice.
In the Jade Palace, Sovereign Lord of the Heavens, who had been cultivating peacefully, awoke. A hint of confusion flickered across his eternally unchanging expression.
Then, with a thought, the gates of the Jade Palace opened.
He saw Dingguang Xian walk into the main hall with a wronged look on his face. He then knelt directly before him and said with extreme grievance, "Please, Master, uphold justice for your disciple!"
Sovereign Lord of the Heavens asked with some confusion, "What happened?"
"Master, those Heavenly Origin Sect disciples are too overbearing. I was traveling when I accidentally encountered some disciples from the Heavenly Origin Sect."
"I heard them slandering the Intercepting Sect, saying that all disciples of the Intercepting Sect are Bearded and Horned Beings, Wet-born and Egg-born Creatures!"
"They are just ordinary disciples. If they weren't instigated by someone, how would they dare to slander the Intercepting Sect like this?"
"I wanted to step forward to argue, but those Heavenly Origin Sect disciples, relying on their numbers, wanted to attack me. I had no choice but to retreat without a fight."
"Those Heavenly Origin Sect disciples are truly too overbearing. I implore Master to uphold justice for your disciple!"
Chang'er Dingguang Xian cried tears of sorrow, his forehead repeatedly banging against the ground, putting on a show of having suffered immense injustice.
Furthermore, his words were pointed.
Although he did not explicitly state it, one could easily infer that Primordial Lord of Heaven must be behind this.
Otherwise, how would a mere disciple dare to speak such words?
A look of anger appeared on Sovereign Lord of the Heavens' face.
In the past, when his second brother hadn't put aside his prejudice, hadn't he slandered his Intercepting Sect in this very way?
Could it be that, as Chang'er Dingguang Xian said, his second brother had only seemingly put aside his prejudice, but was actually plotting behind the scenes?
Although anger surged within him, he did not immediately lash out.
As a Saint of the Heavenly Dao, he naturally had his own considerations.
He immediately performed a deduction.
He then discovered that, just as Chang'er Dingguang Xian had said, he had indeed gone out to travel before coming to see him, and then encountered disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect, leading to a conflict.
Although he couldn't deduce what the Heavenly Origin Sect disciples had said, the course of events was indeed exactly as Chang'er Dingguang Xian had described!
Sovereign Lord of the Heavens was extremely confused. Was all the kindness his second brother had shown him a deception, and was he actually plotting and scheming behind his back?!
After his deduction, while he believed Dingguang Xian to some extent, he also didn't want to believe that Primordial Lord's kindness to him was a deception.
He then looked in the direction of the Heavenly Origin Sect, his gaze extremely profound.
This matter absolutely could not be buried in his heart.
He knew that this matter was like a seed of doubt. If it were left in his heart, he would inevitably become suspicious day by day.
By then, even if it were false, it might become true!
This absolutely could not happen.
This matter needed to be clarified!
With this thought, Sovereign Lord of the Heavens no longer hesitated and headed straight for the Heavenly Origin Sect.
Heavenly Origin Sect, Jade Void Palace.
Primordial Lord looked at the Heavenly Dao's exotic treasure: the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion.
This was a reward he received for helping Zhenyuanzi.
It could bury heaven, earth, and all living beings!
It was one of the few magical treasures that could harm a Saint!
After refining it, Primordial Lord threw it into the Chaos Pearl.
"I wonder how terrifying the Heaven Suppressing Pavilion will be if it evolves into a Chaos Spirit Treasure? Will it be able to directly bury the Heavenly Dao?!"
Primordial Lord muttered to himself, lost in some reverie.
He then looked at another reward: World Destroying Profound Light.
This was a Chaos Realm divine ability!
One must know that he was only at the eighth heaven of the Saint realm, and had not even stepped into the Heavenly Dao Realm, let alone the more profound Chaos Realm.
Now, he could glimpse the style of the Chaos Realm through this divine ability.
Even with his current strength, he couldn't unleash the full power of this divine ability, but it was enough to crush all divine abilities in the Great Wilderness!
Primordial Lord's heart stirred.
Before he could begin cultivating the World Destroying Profound Light:
Suddenly, Tongtian's voice was heard.
"Second Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
Huh?
Primordial Lord was taken aback.
Something to discuss?
What could Tongtian possibly want to discuss?
Then, with a thought, he realized Tongtian was waiting quietly in the void not far from the Heavenly Origin Sect.
Although puzzled, Primordial Lord didn't hesitate. He put aside his cultivation and walked out of the Jade Void Palace.
When Primordial Lord saw Tongtian, he became even more confused.
Tongtian's brow was slightly furrowed, and he seemed hesitant to speak, as if burdened by something.
Primordial Lord's brow twitched, and he asked, "Third Brother, is there something you wish to say?"
"You don't need to worry. What can't we say between brothers?"
Hearing this, Tongtian's heart finally relaxed.
He had been worried about disrupting the hard-won brotherly harmony.
But what couldn't be said between brothers?
He had been overthinking.
He looked at Primordial Lord and slowly said, "Second Brother, I heard my disciples crying to me, saying that disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect slandered our Intercepting Sect disciples as Bearded and Horned Beings, Wet-born and Egg-born Creatures..."
"Who said that? Which disciple of mine?!"
Before Tongtian could finish, Primordial Lord interrupted him.
Although he didn't strictly control his disciples, he knew that since he and Tongtian had made peace, and after their joint assault on the Heavenly Court and their mutual assistance to Xuanyuan Clan, both sects' disciples had shown significant improvement.
Such a thing absolutely could not have happened.
Moreover, he was already preparing for the Unification of the Three Teachings. If something like this happened now, it was simply adding trouble for him!
If I find out who you are, daring to cause trouble for me at this juncture, I will treat it as treason!
"Second Brother, there's no need to be angry."
Seeing Primordial Lord's expression, Tongtian understood everything.
This matter indeed had nothing to do with Second Brother. It was likely just some talkative disciple of his.
He pondered it and didn't take it to heart. After all, he understood that the two sects had been in conflict for so long, and their ingrained prejudices ran deep. Even if they had let go, it was natural for a few individual disciples to still harbor some resentment, as human hearts are unpredictable.
He slowly said, "I heard about this matter from Dingguang Xian."
Dingguang Xian!
Damn it, it was that troublemaker!
Primordial Lord had long known about Chang'er Dingguang Xian. This person's resolve was weak.
Did they not see that in the later Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, who willingly went to the Western Teachings?
Most were calculated and incited by the Two Sages of the West.
The phrase "you have a connection with my West" had persuaded countless disciples.
But Chang'er Dingguang Xian was different. This person actively betrayed the sect and fled to the West, acting as a spy, lurking in the Intercepting Sect, and defecting during the final great battle.
Most detestable!
Now, upon hearing it was him, there was no need for divination; he knew Chang'er Dingguang Xian was acting, deliberately sowing discord between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect.
As for the reason behind it, and whether the Western Teachings were involved, further divination was needed.
But Primordial Lord knew one thing: this traitor absolutely could not be allowed to live. He had to find an opportunity to kill him!
It was fortunate that Tongtian told him. Otherwise, if it had led to a major disaster and affected his plans for the Unification of the Three Teachings, killing Dingguang Xian a thousand times over would not have been enough to quell the anger in his heart!
He looked at Tongtian, "Third Brother, you know how I've treated you over the years. That Dingguang Xian is your disciple, but what are we? Brothers bound by blood!"
"This matter, you decide for yourself!"
As Primordial Lord's words fell, he left directly.
Ultimately, this matter was due to the fact that he and Tongtian had only recently reconciled, allowing others to exploit the loophole.
Now, only Tongtian could figure it out himself.
Tongtian watched Primordial Lord's departing back, his gaze complex.
He had doubted his Second Brother.
After all, they were brothers. If Second Brother still held a grudge against him, why would he have helped him before?
He looked at Primordial Lord and said respectfully, "Please forgive me for today's matter, Second Brother. I will definitely investigate this thoroughly!"
