"Hmph!"
Kunpeng snorted coldly, finally retreating into the ranks of the Innate Great Gods.
The actions of Zhunti and Jieyin made Kunpeng deeply resentful. He swore that if he ever had the chance, he would definitely settle this karma with Zhunti and Jieyin.
Unfortunately, Kunpeng would not get that chance. Before he could get revenge on Zhunti and Jieyin, he was dealt with by the Demon Clan and ended up on Nuwa's Monster-Taming Banner.
He became a mere ox and horse, with even his life and death not in his own hands.
As the saying goes, share blessings and bear hardships together.
Now, Jieyin, the elder brother, and Zhunti, the second brother, both had cushions to sit on.
Zhunti and Jieyin, these sworn brothers, naturally would not forget Bai Chen, their third brother.
Bai Chen found Zhunti and Jieyin too embarrassing and decided to shrink back, keeping his distance from these two disgraceful fellows.
Just as Bai Chen was shrinking back, Zhunti grabbed its tail and pulled it over.
Zhunti, pulling Bai Chen, turned its gaze to Nuwa, who was easier to bully:
"Fellow Daoist, my third brother, Bai Ze, is an Innate Divine Beast, yet he cannot transform and has suffered greatly."
"If my third brother can obtain a cushion, it will also attract the attention of the Saint during the Saint's sermon, making it easier to seek a method for transformation."
"I implore this Fellow Daoist to show mercy and pity my third brother, Bai Ze, and give up your seat. My brothers and I will be eternally grateful."
Zhunti saw that the Three Pure Ones were not easy to bully, so he decided to bully Nuwa.
If Nuwa did not cooperate, the three brothers would join forces and directly drive Nuwa away.
Kunpeng was furious. Just now, Zhunti had belittled him as someone hatched from wet eggs, unworthy of a cushion.
Then what was Bai Chen?
Why was Bai Chen qualified to have a cushion, just because it was Zhunti's third brother?
Wasn't this favoritism and discrimination?
Nuwa couldn't be bothered to deal with Zhunti. After giving him a glare, she turned her gaze to Bai Chen:
"Little White, come here!"
Nuwa was very unhappy. Didn't this lazy cat say it wasn't coming to listen to the sermon?
Then why was it here listening to the sermon now?
And it came with two utterly shameless fellows, even calling each other brothers.
And these two fellows, why were they calling this lazy cat Bai Ze? Was that its new name?
Facing Nuwa's call, Bai Chen broke free from Zhunti's demonic claws and came to Nuwa's side.
"Third brother, you know this Fellow Daoist?"
Zhunti was a bit embarrassed. He hadn't expected his third brother to know Nuwa, which had caused a huge misunderstanding!
Nuwa picked up Bai Chen and pinched its chubby little face, lecturing it:
"Little White, don't play with them anymore in the future!"
Nuwa felt that she had to keep a closer eye on Bai Chen from now on. In her absence, it had gotten to know two shameless fellows and even called them brothers.
No wonder this lazy cat was so useless, with a bunch of bad habits.
It was probably because it knew too many bad influences, and they had corrupted it.
Zhunti and Jieyin: We are bad influences?
"Nuwa, I, this Great God, don't know these two."
Bai Chen broke free from Nuwa's jade hand and climbed onto her shoulder, explaining:
"Originally, I, this Great God, was patrolling Phoenix Perch Mountain. They saw that I had the potential to prove the Dao, so they forcibly became sworn brothers with me, wanting to curry favor with me. They even forcibly brought me to Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the sermon."
To protect its reputation and not be implicated by Zhunti and Jieyin, Bai Chen quickly concocted a story to distance itself from them.
Originally, it, Great God Bai Chen, had no intention of becoming sworn brothers with Zhunti and Jieyin. It was these two who had forcibly sworn brotherhood and called each other brothers.
"Third brother, watch your words!"
Zhunti was warning Bai Chen not to speak carelessly.
But fortunately, Bai Chen did not expose what the three of them had done together, or it would have been over.
A handsome and sturdy Divine Lord suddenly stepped forward and reprimanded Bai Chen:
"Bai Chen, Zhunti and Jieyin just called you Bai Ze. Bai Chen, why are you impersonating my title?"
That's right, this handsome Divine Lord was none other than Bai Ze from East Watch Mountain.
Originally, Bai Ze was furious for not getting a cushion. When he heard Zhunti call Bai Chen 'Bai Ze' earlier, he immediately felt something was wrong.
This cat dared to impersonate his name, Bai Ze? Was it tired of living?
Zhunti glanced at Bai Chen, thinking his third brother was quite cautious!
When searching for opportunities before, it had used Daoist magic and divine powers to conceal its true form, and now it was using someone else's name from beginning to end.
If it weren't for his brothers dragging Bai Chen to listen to the sermon, they probably wouldn't have discovered Bai Chen's true nature.
Bai Chen looked at the creature standing on Nuwa's shoulder, one claw on its hip and the other pointing at Bai Ze as it cursed, "Bai Ze, go to hell! When have I, this Great God, ever impersonated your name?"
As long as he, Great God Bai Chen, didn't admit it, the other party couldn't do anything to him.
"And is the name Bai Ze exclusive to you?
Do you really think you're a Dao Proving Great God, and that sharing your name is offending you? What do you think you are, Bai Ze."
Although Bai Chen had raided Bai Ze's dojo, he hadn't found anything good, which made him extremely angry.
This damned Bai Ze had killed his clone back then.
And now it dared to bark at him, Great God Bai Chen. Once Nuwa refined the Monster Summoning Banner, he had to suggest to Nuwa that Bai Ze also be put on the banner.
Let that guy be unable to live, unable to die, and be enslaved by the Monster Summoning Banner for eternity.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, I misspoke just now. I mistakenly called my third brother Bai Chen's name as yours."
Zhunti, to prevent Bai Chen from exposing what the three of them had done, quickly spoke up to cover for him.
"Bai Chen, you'd better not let me find any evidence. If you use my name to commit evil deeds, I won't let this go!"
Bai Ze couldn't find any evidence against Bai Chen right now, but his intuition told him that Bai Chen impersonating his name could only lead to trouble.
Bai Chen didn't give Bai Ze any face at all and started cursing loudly:
"Bai Ze, you lackey of the Qilin Clan! Your master, the First Qilin, has already fallen, so stop barking here."
During the Three Clans Hegemony, many Innate Divine Beasts, to save their lives, had voluntarily joined the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
Bai Ze was among them. As a beast, he had joined the First Qilin.
He became a dog for the Qilin Clan and was heavily relied upon, thus avoiding becoming cannon fodder.
This was why Bai Ze had attacked Bai Chen's clone for no reason that time.
Therefore, Bai Chen was not wrong to call Bai Ze a lackey of the Qilin Clan.
"Bai Chen, you are presumptuous!"
Seeing himself repeatedly humiliated, Bai Ze finally couldn't hold back and went mad.
"Bai Ze, you running dog of the Qilin Clan, stop barking here.
If you push this Great God too far, I'll chop off your dog head and make soup."
Bai Chen wasn't afraid of Bai Ze at all. With Bai Ze's cultivation, let alone Nuwa making a move, even Fuxi, that sis-con, could suppress him.
"Cough cough!"
Just as the conflict between Bai Ze and Bai Chen escalated and was about to erupt into a quarrel, a cough was heard. Saint Hongjun appeared out of thin air and sat on a high platform.
Saint Hongjun was surrounded by the aura of a Saint, causing all beings to involuntarily prostrate themselves.
"We pay our respects to the Saint!"
As soon as Saint Hongjun appeared, the Innate Great Gods present all bowed in greeting.
"There is no need for such formalities."
After signaling them to rise, Saint Hongjun scanned the Innate Great Gods present and said, "Some of you here are, in fact, my peers."
"My esteemed fellow Daoists, I have merely attained Dao and recovered my Primordial Unity status one step ahead of you. You do not need to show deference as juniors."
Saint Hongjun saw through the true nature of those individuals at a glance.
Although they had hidden themselves well, the power of laws emanating from them had exposed them.
The Innate Great Gods were shocked by his words.
They weren't stupid; they understood from Saint Hongjun's words that there were Chaos Demon Gods among them who had lost their Primordial Fruit Status.
These Chaos Demon Gods who had transformed into Innate Great Gods had expected to be exposed when they came to listen to the sermon.
Now that they were exposed, they weren't too surprised.
The Chaos Demon Gods who had come were all mediocre among the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. Even if they had attained Dao, they wouldn't pose a threat to Saint Hongjun.
Saint Hongjun then turned his gaze to Bai Chen on Nuwa's shoulder and said slowly, "Bai Chen, I am already aware of the events outside Purple Heaven Palace."
"This matter is due to my negligence in managing my subordinates. It was my attendant, Haotian, who offended you."
With a wave of his Daoist robe, Saint Hongjun conjured a precious cauldron before Bai Chen.
"Consider this item my apology to you!"
"Furthermore, Haotian will also be punished."
