Don't Point at This Great God!

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had relinquished the position of acting leader of the Taiqing Sect to Laozi early on and let Tongtian take over; otherwise, the entire Xuanmen Sect would have been disgraced.

Seeing that Dao Laozi Dao Ancestor Hongjun was unwilling to intervene, Taiqing Laozi began to weep bitterly again:

"Master Hongjun, that should have been my opportunity!"

"They drove the disciples out of Shouyang Mountain, they disrupted the disciples' lineage, and the disciples accepted all of that. But they seized the disciples' Kongtong Seal, and the disciples are not reconciled to that!"

Taiqing Laozi wondered which sage had suffered as much as he had, being bullied time and time again.

Even the Jieyin and Zhunti weren't bullied this badly, were they?

Seeing Laozi of Taiqing playing the victim, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had no choice but to reveal some of his true feelings:

"Taiqing Laozi, if I force Bai Chen to hand over the Kongtong Seal, and if Nuwa and Houtu do not cooperate, it will surely be a fierce battle."

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun said this, Taiqing Laozi mistakenly thought that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was afraid of Houtu and Nuwa.

Seeing that Laozi of the Taiqing Laozi seemed unusually dull today, Dao Ancestor Hongjun explained:

"This seat, Houtu, Nuwa are the representatives of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

If the three of us were to fight, it might even trigger a great war between Heaven, Earth, and Man, which would plunge the primordial world into Primordial World.

The Chaos Demons, led by Ancestor Yang Mei and Devil Ancestor Luo Hou, will also take this opportunity to descend upon the Primordial World, wreaking Primordial World and slaughtering all living beings.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew that those Chaos Demons who had re-proved their Dao had transferred their hatred for the Great God Pangu into hatred for all living beings in the Primordial World.

If those guys find an opportunity, they will definitely do everything in their power to destroy the Primordial World.

"Therefore, for the sake of the Primordial World world and all living beings, I will not break ties with Nuwa and Houtu!"

After explaining the current situation in the Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly stated his position.

It's not worth making a big fuss over a mere Taiqing Laozi!

You must know that you are merely accepting disciples on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, and you are only nominally disciplining Taiqing Laozi. Taiqing Laozi's true teacher is the Heavenly Dao!

"Taiqing Laozi, therefore I have no way to help you get the Kongtong Seal back from Bai Chen. I can only try my best to secure some benefits for you."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt that this was the only thing he could do to help Taiqing Laozi, given the circumstances.

"Disciple~"

Before Taiqing Laozi could speak, Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly raised his hand to interrupt him, saying:

"Taiqing Laozi, you are the head of the Three Pure Ones, formed from the Fellow Daoist Pangu. You wouldn't want the Primordial World to be destroyed because of a trivial matter, would you?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew that Taiqing Laozi still couldn't let go of the Kongtong Seal, so he directly resorted to moral blackmail.

"Well!"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi sighed helplessly and said:

"This disciple is willing to follow Master Hongjun's arrangements!"

Taiqing Laozi also understood the current situation. If Dao Ancestor Hongjun was unwilling to help, he would have no way to deal with Bai Chen.

Not only is it impossible to get the Kongtong Seal back, but he can also forget about getting any compensation. Now, he can only hope that Dao Ancestor Hongjun can help him get more compensation.

"Let's go, come with me to the Wa Saint Palace!"

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw that Taiqing Laozi had finally become sensible, he nodded in satisfaction.

If the other party is ungrateful and continues to cause trouble, then don't blame me for telling them to get lost; I won't bother with this mess anymore.

Wa Saint Palace...

Bai Chen was sleeping on Nuwa's shoulder when Dao Ancestor Hongjun arrived with Taiqing Laozi.

∩(●?(工)?●)∩

"Aww~~"

Bai Chen, having just woken up, stretched and exhaled a breath of stale air. He then bowed respectfully to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and said:

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

Bai Chen bowed and paid his respects to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, while pretending not to see Taiqing Laozi standing beside him.

That guy came to ambush me before, wanting my Kongtong Seal. How could I Great God Bai Chen, possibly bow to him?

Bai Chen's disregard infuriated Taiqing, Laozi was burning with rage.

Bai Chen: Come and hit me then!

Although I can't beat you in a fight, I can call in reinforcements—people who can take care of you!

"Dao Ancestor, are you here to help Taiqing Laozi demand the Kongtong Seal?"

When Nuwa inquired about the purpose of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's visit, she subconsciously assumed that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the elder invited by Taiqing Laozi.

Taiqing Laozi, a sage, actually called for help when he couldn't win a fight—how shameful!

Taiqing Laozi: Nuwa, is it not shameful for Bai Chen to call for reinforcements?

Nuwa: My Bad Cat is still a furry child!

"No!"

Seeing that Nuwa had misunderstood, Dao Ancestor Hongjun explained:

"Since Bai Chen obtained the Kongtong Seal, it can naturally be considered a stroke of good fortune for him!"

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun stated his position, his tone suddenly changed, and he added:

"However, in the end, according to the original Great Dao's Destiny, the Kongtong Seal is indeed the creation of Laozi of the Taiqing Realm."

"Therefore, I will shamelessly ask for some compensation on behalf of the Taiqing Laozi today, so as to settle this matter."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt that his attitude today was already quite good, and hoped that everyone could have a calm and peaceful discussion.

Seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had come with a consultative attitude, Bai Chen thought for a moment and said:

"Dao Ancestor, how about I compensate the Saint Taiqing with the title of Emperor Shi?"

Bai Chen felt that among the ten positions of the human race, the least valuable one, the Emperor Shi, should be used as a bargaining chip.

"Can!"

If Bai Chen dared to set a price, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would dare to agree.

Bai Chen: Dao Ancestor, aren't you going to try and negotiate?

This price was just a tentative offer.

You agreed so readily, I'm a little taken aback!

Dao Ancestor: This compensation isn't for myself, it's for Taiqing Laozi.

What's there to haggle over?

Haggling is something even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun wouldn't stoop to!

Bai Chen thought to himself, "As expected, Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't treat Taiqing Laozi as a disciple. He was actually dismissed with just the title of Shi Huang."

If you replaced Taiqing Laozi with Sect Master Tongtian, and tried to use Shi Huang to appease him, Dao Ancestor Hongjun might have overturned the table.

???

Taiqing Laozi was dumbfounded. Was Bai Chen's compensation for him just settled like that?

There are ten human fruit positions in total. Even if we don't give half as compensation, shouldn't we at least give three or four?

Is offering only one as compensation far too little?

Moreover, Bai Chen immediately proposed the position of Emperor Shi, which doesn't seem like a very good position for a human!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't care what Taiqing Laozi thought, but instead turned his gaze to Nuwa and said:

"Nuwa, I can guarantee that Laozi of Taiqing will not cause trouble for Bai Chen because of the Kongtong Seal in the future, and you and Bai Chen must not maliciously suppress the Human Religion."

"Let bygones be bygones of your past grievances with Taiqing Laozi, for the sake of peaceful coexistence among all living beings in the Primordial World, shall we?"

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun must intervene in matters concerning the Human Religion.

After all, if he didn't take care of things soon, the Taiqing Laozi's Human Religion might be destroyed by Nuwa and Bai Chen one day.

After all, one of them is the Human Mother Goddess, and the other possesses the Kongtong Seal, making them naturally able to restrain the Human Religion!

!!!

Nuwa and Bai Chen were startled. How did Dao Ancestor Hongjun know that they had previously discussed establishing the Human Religion?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun: Is there even a need to think about it?

Bai Chen is petty and holds grudges, while Nuwa, for the sake of humanity, is determined to get rid of Taiqing Laozi!

"Good!"

Faced with the ceasefire agreement proposed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Nuwa and Bai Chen privately discussed it and decided to cease hostilities.

The matters concerning the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Five Emperors, Bingzhu Shi Huang, are still unresolved. If we push the Laozi Taiqing too far now, it will affect the matter of the human race's succession.

After the human race reaches the fruition and the war ends, they will find another opportunity to deal with Laozi of Taiqing.

"Dao Ancestor, however, I have something to say: if anyone comes to ambush my Bad Cat again, intending to rob it, don't blame me for being impolite."

Nuwa agreed to a ceasefire, but added a condition: the "certain people" she mentioned were naturally Taiqing, the Supreme Laozi.

Chapter 562 Don't Point at This Great God!

"That's natural!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun agreed to Nuwa's request.

I've already helped Taiqing Laozi finalize the ceasefire agreement. If the other side still causes trouble, and Nuwa comes knocking on their door, it just means they deserve it.

After everything was settled, Dao Ancestor Hongjun left Wa Saint Palace with Taiqing Laozi.

"Teacher Hongjun, weren't you being far too lenient with Nuwa and the others just now?"

As soon as Taiqing Laozi left Wa Saint Palace, he couldn't help but start complaining.
