Breaking the Window Effect, Extorting the Western Duo, Primordial Bitter Bamboo Obtained!
"You Immortal Court beings, disobeying the Heavenly Edict and regulations, openly attack my Heavenly Court ally Zhenyuanzi."
"This is an extremely heinous crime!"
"Come with us to the Execution Platform!"
After capturing the people from the Immortal Court, the Zhurong, the Ancestral Witch of Fire grinned maliciously and said...
Upon hearing the name of the Execution Platform, all the Immortal Court beings looked as if they had lost their parents.
Wails immediately filled the air.
Jieyin and Jieyin and Zhunti wanted to take the opportunity to sneak away.
Little did they know that, as Western Duo, even if they tried to bury their heads in the sand, their two bald heads would still stand out like two bright light bulbs.
"As for you..."
At this moment, Taiyi also looked at the two of them with a half-smile.
He spoke slowly, as if delivering a verdict.
"You two brothers should choose between the Demon Lock Tower and the Demon Suppression Tower!"
Jieyin and Zhunti heard this pronouncement, which sounded like that of a god, their expressions changed instantly.
"Taiyi, we are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, what right do you have to judge us?"
After their initial fear and trepidation, the two brothers were consumed by rage and roared at Taiyi.
"A disciple of the Dao Ancestor?"
Taiyi gave a meaningful smile.
He then said with a cold expression.
"Don't even mention the Dao Ancestor's disciple; even if the Dao Ancestor himself came, if he violated the Heavenly Edict, I, this god, would still capture him!"
"Even if the Dao Ancestor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people!"
The Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti immediately turned extremely ugly, their expressions a mixture of blue and white.
Even though they invoked the name of the Dao Ancestor, Taiyi still refused to let them go.
"Senior brother, what should we do now?"
"There's no way he can run away."
"We can't beat them in a fight."
With Zhunti asked his senior brother Jieyin.
"The only option now is to seek help from the Dao Ancestor!"
Jieyin spoke in silence.
As disciples of the Dao Ancestor, even if they were only nominal disciples, Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti could still speak directly with the Dao Ancestor.
However, no one will use this function unless absolutely necessary.
Just because it was used once, it creates a debt of gratitude and karma.
However, this time, before Jieyin and Zhunti could even Jieyin and Zhunti the Dao Ancestor...
Hongjun's voice resounded throughout the Mount Sumeru.
"Jieyin and Zhunti are Jieyin and Zhunti Heaven-Appointed Sage, and Mount Sumeru is their sacred site."
"Taiyi, quickly return the Mount Sumeru Dojo!"
"The Eastern Continent belongs to the Heavenly Court, Western Continent Jieyin and Zhunti."
Upon hearing Hongjun's voice, and Jieyin and Zhunti that he was still biased towards them, Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed.
Unable to resist, they bowed and worshipped in the direction from which the sound came, praising the Sage's mercy.
After bowing and kowtowing three times, the two brothers fully expressed their sincere respect for the Dao Ancestor.
The two brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, stood up and said with an arrogant expression.
"Taiyi, take your Heavenly Court troops and get out of our Western Continent!"
"Taiyi, are you deaf to what the Dao Ancestor said to you?"
"Get out of here now!"
With the support of the Dao Ancestor, the feeling is immediately different.
The moment Jieyin and Zhunti, your back straightens instantly.
My legs stopped shaking.
Taiyi still had a bright smile on his face.
But the look in his eyes as he Jieyin and Zhunti grew colder and colder.
"Dao Ancestor, are you attempting to blatantly interfere in the internal affairs of my Heavenly Court?"
"Since being recognized by the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Court has been the only legitimate authority in the Primordial World."
"All the actions of the Heavenly Court are in accordance with the Heavenly Dao Laws."
"Moreover, these two violated the Heavenly Edict first, and then Slaughter my Heavenly Court's allies."
"Whether from a moral or legal standpoint, the Heavenly Court's arrest of the two is perfectly justified."
Upon hearing Taiyi's voice, Hongjun seemed to fall silent for a moment.
After a long while, another voice finally came through.
"No matter what, Taiyi, Jieyin and Zhunti are also Sage appointed by the Heavenly Dao."
"I am also acting in accordance with the Heavenly Rules."
"Alright, let's let it go this time, but don't let it happen again."
Hongjun seemed reluctant to escalate the conflict with Taiyi, and spoke with some hesitation.
The Heavenly Court has long since become the most powerful force in the primordial Primordial Wilderness.
The Merit and Destiny it contains are so great that even Hongjun would be terrified when facing it.
If Taiyi, that madman, recklessly squanders the Heavenly Court's Fortune and opposes him, then Hongjun will definitely be reduced to a pulp, if not killed.
With reservations in mind, Hongjun naturally dared not push him too hard.
However, the arrogant expressions on the faces of Jieyin and Zhunti immediately froze upon Jieyin and Zhunti this.
No, Dao Ancestor!
You are the Dao Ancestor!
How could a dignified Dao Ancestor be afraid of an ant who hasn't even become a saint yet?
Didn't you say when you were preaching in the Purple Cloud Palace: "Without becoming a saint, one is nothing but an ant"?
Why are you now afraid of an ant?
This isn't some kind of mystical art!
However, the decision made by the Dao Ancestor was not something that the two brothers could oppose.
"Out of respect for the Dao Ancestor, our Heavenly Court will make an exception this time."
"In this way, Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti can be spared the death penalty, but they will not escape punishment."
"Then confiscate the Seven Treasure Wonderful Brush Tree and the Primordial Bitter Bamboo from the two of them."
Taiyi righteous and indignant expression.
Upon hearing this, both Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed drastically.
"Taiyi, you've gone too far!"
"The Seven Treasure Wonderful Brush Tree was crafted from my original Bodhi Tree, and it is related to my destiny."
"The Primordial Bitter Bamboo is my senior brother's symbiotic spiritual root, and their fortunes are intertwined."
"This isn't punishment, it's blatant murder!"
Zhunti immediately roared in anger.
Although Jieyin didn't speak, his face was also gloomy.
He could still bear losing the Merit Golden Lotus, since he still had the Jieyin Treasure Banner to serve as a means of proving his Dao and suppressing the fortune of a sect.
However, the Primordial Bitter Bamboo is his symbiotic spiritual root, and their fates are intertwined, so it is absolutely not allowed to be lost.
The same principle applies to the Seven Treasure Wonderful Brush Tree.
"This won't work, and that won't work either."
"What, do you think you own the Heavenly Court and can do whatever you want with it?"
"Hongjun, why don't you tell me yourself!"
Taiyi directly passed the question to Hongjun.
After a moment of silence, Hongjun was clearly also considering his options.
Finally, he spoke up, "Jieyin, hand over the Primordial Bitter Bamboo."
"Since you were in the wrong first and were less skilled than others, then accept the punishment."
"Remember next time, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring."
Since even the Hongjun Daozu has said so, what else can Jieyin do?
Even though he was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and hand over the Primordial Bitter Bamboo.
Fortunately, even though he lost the Primordial Bitter Bamboo, one of the ten Top-grade Primordial Spiritual Root, Jieyin was still able to Prove Dao and become a Sage.
Jieyin tolerated this.
As for why Hongjun didn't make Zhunti the Seven Treasure Wonderful Brush Tree, that was naturally a compromise between the two sides.
One or two is acceptable, but not three.
If Taiyi continues to be aggressive after already being so tolerant, then he shouldn't blame Taiyi for flipping the table.
Clearly, Taiyi understood Hongjun's subtext.
However, he still retorted with a smug smile, "These weeds can never be eradicated."
After saying that, ignoring Jieyin and Zhunti ugly expressions on the faces of his fellow disciples Jieyin and Zhunti, he took the spoils of war, the Primordial Bitter Bamboo, and disappeared into the void.
