Tongtian thought, As expected, they're here to smooth things over. If it were the old me, I would have been deceived by you.

Tongtian sneered, "Yuanshi Tianzun disregarded all decorum and attacked my disciples, acting unbefittingly as a senior! He violates the Dao Ancestor's teachings and shows disrespect to the Dao Ancestor."

"How dare you! No matter how eloquent you are, you can't justify your transgressions. Eldest Brother, don't believe his words. This Tongtian has sealed GoldenAo Island, trying to avoid the Investiture of the Gods..."

Immediately, Yuanshi's voice entered Laozi's mind, "Eldest Brother, even if our two sects combine, we won't have enough for the three hundred and sixty-five deities. If the Intercept Sect doesn't participate, I fear both our sects will face calamity. How tragic were the previous Opening Heaven Calamity, Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and Witch-Demon Calamity?"

Laozi's expression remained unchanged, but he said, "Tongtian, Junior Brother, you have indeed gone too far. The three sects' discussion is a matter ordained by Heaven, and the Investiture of the Gods battle is inevitable. Moreover, your Intercept Sect is powerful, so the final impact will certainly be small. Why do such a disgraceful thing?"

Master Tongtian's eyes turned cold, "Eldest Brother is clearly siding with this fellow?"

Laozi valued inaction. Although he didn't value face as much as Yuanshi, he was somewhat embarrassed and angry that Tongtian had directly exposed his thoughts. "This brother is also doing it for your own good."

"I appreciate Senior Brother's kindness, but the matter of GoldenAo Island is a matter for my Intercept Sect and doesn't require Eldest Brother's concern."

Laozi shook his head, his face calm as he said, "Not so. This matter is the Investiture of the Gods set down by the Dao Ancestor, not just a matter for your Intercept Sect. For the sake of the great trend of the world, this brother must do some disciplining today."

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered. Since Tongtian hadn't brought out the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, he certainly wasn't their match.

He pointed at Master Tongtian and said, "Tongtian! Quickly open GoldenAo Island, or today you will surely lose face. Wouldn't it be unpleasant to end up in a miserable state?"

Laozi nodded, "Excellent."

The two were clearly joining forces, and Tongtian laughed in anger, "Li Dan! Yuanshi! Why say such hypocritical words? Haven't you two been colluding and acting like wolves in sheep's clothing for a long time? You dare to be so aggressive today!"

"Ah!! I'm so infuriated!!!"

Tongtian's fiery personality couldn't endure it any longer.

Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a look. One took out the Taiji Diagram, and the other held the Pangu Banner. "If you want to lose face, then let's have a fight."

Laozi patted the top of his head, and One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, three figures occupying the terrain to prevent Tongtian from setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation!

Yuanshi Tianzun grinned, "Watch me make you lose face today!"

He had been gnashing his teeth with hatred just now. Tongtian had almost knocked off his hair bun. If his hair bun were knocked off, he would definitely lose face.

The Pangu Banner waved, countless spatial rifts and chaotic astral winds blowing towards Tongtian, who retaliated with his four swords.

In a one-on-one fight, Tongtian was slightly better than Yuanshi Tianzun.

But fighting Laozi one-on-one without the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was hard to say. After all, Laozi's realm was one level higher than Yuanshi Tianzun and Master Tongtian, reaching the Enlightenment Third Heaven realm.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian exchanged blows, and after a dozen moves, neither gained the upper hand. Yuanshi Tianzun anxiously transmitted his voice to Laozi, "Eldest Brother! If you don't act now, when will you? Tongtian is actually disobedient!"

"Good!"

Laozi bowed, and the Taiji Diagram, carrying black and white energies, flew above Tongtian's head with a whoosh. The Taiji Diagram stabilized earth, fire, wind, and water, and even stabilized the heavens and earth, let alone Tongtian?

Tongtian only felt a powerful binding force, restricting his hands and feet.

"How dare you! Li Dan! Yuanshi! Did you think I only had this much?"

"Ahhh!!!"

"Open for me!"

He flipped his wrist, and a bracelet appeared on his left hand. On the bracelet were twelve small black swords, the very innate treasure of slaughter – the Twelve Supreme Devilish Blades!

How sharp was the innate treasure of slaughter?

The twelve black swords grew in the wind, instantly transforming into twelve short swords, each over a foot long and incomparably dark. The sword points faced upwards, aiming at the Taiji Diagram and crashing into it.

"Tear!!"

A sound like tearing silk was heard, and the Taiji Diagram, a treasure of its kind, was forcibly torn apart by the Twelve Devilish Blades!

Master Tongtian's figure returned to its original state once again!

"Go!"

The innate treasure of slaughter was far stronger than other treasures. It directly broke through all Laws and rushed towards Laozi and Yuanshi.

Laozi and Yuanshi's expressions changed. "What kind of treasure is this!"

Master Tongtian snorted coldly, muttering, "Uncle... Uncle... gave me this treasure!"

The Twelve Devilish Blades were about to pierce the two of them. If they were stabbed, even if a sage was indestructible, they would end up being pierced through. Not only would they lose face and damage their sacred bodies, but their cultivation might also be affected!

Yuanshi and Laozi's expressions changed drastically. Just then, a large hand descended from the sky, suddenly grabbing the Twelve Devilish Blades.

The hand seemed to contain endless magic power, and the Twelve Devilish Blades struggled for a moment before being subdued.

Master Tongtian's expression changed, while Laozi and Yuanshi were overjoyed. The three bowed towards the direction of the Twelve Devilish Blades. "Greetings, Teacher."

A illusory and mysterious figure appeared in the sky, its appearance indiscernible, as if it were the embodiment of the Laws.

"Oh?"

Hongjun exclaimed in surprise as the Twelve Devilish Blades continued to jump around in his hand.

Life and death flashed in his eyes, and the Heavenly Dao rules constantly manifested. "Tongtian, what is this? Why does it have the aura of an innate treasure of slaughter?"

"This..."

Master Tongtian hesitated. Did the Dao Ancestor know about Uncle?

He gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that he would take a gamble, betting that Uncle was a figure no weaker than the Dao Ancestor!

"This was given to me by a reclusive expert. The reclusive expert said that this treasure is not within the Three Realms and Five Elements, but came from the Chaos."

Hongjun remained silent for a long time, and Master Tongtian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Even if the Dao Ancestor didn't speak, the invisible pressure was terrifying enough.

Just then, Hongjun spoke, "There is such an expert under the Heavenly Dao... I am inferior..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Laozi and Yuanshi's eyes almost popped out!

The Dao Ancestor was inferior?

What kind of person was this!

It was simply too terrifying!

Master Tongtian revealed a trace of pride, unaware that he was even more shocked in his heart!

The Dao Ancestor admitted that he was not as good as Uncle?

My heavens! My earth! What virtue or ability do I, Tongtian, possess to find such a strong backer?

However, he immediately became worried, he was an imposter... What would he do if he was discovered by the big shot?

The more Tongtian thought about it, the more worried he became. No, he must find a way to find his uncle's real nephew, even if he had to exchange the Qingping Sword for the opportunity!
