As Di Jun's main force advanced, a solemn aura spread across the entire island. Zhunti and Jieyin also sensed the presence of numerous living beings approaching.
"Not good, Senior Martial Brother. It should be the Heavenly Court, and they've come in full force."
Zhunti's expression instantly turned ugly. Was he truly unable to obtain this opportunity, forced to watch helplessly as the immortal island fell into someone else's hands?
"Junior Martial Brother, your suggestion just now was good. Before they arrive, quickly dig up the spiritual roots. Take as many as we can."
Jieyin could no longer remain calm. He immediately began digging up Innate Spiritual Roots and urged Zhunti beside him to do the same.
The two thus began their great digging enterprise. Before long, the entire immortal island became riddled with pits, and even the concentration of spiritual energy gradually began to decline.
"Jieyin, Zhunti, die!"
Tai Yi, who had just arrived, spotted The Two from the West still busily at work. Rage immediately surged within him, and he sent the Chaos Bell crashing toward them.
They had long regarded Mount Fangzhang as something already in their grasp. How could they allow Zhunti and Jieyin to wreck it like this?
"Senior Martial Brother, run! Tai Yi has gone mad!"
Seeing Tai Yi's crazed appearance, Zhunti was frightened as well. He grabbed Jieyin and tried to flee.
Bai Yu and Qing Qiong exchanged a glance. Two immortal swords immediately barred the pair's escape route, forcing them back.
"Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this? I can see that you are not from the Heavenly Court, so why are you standing up for them?"
"Can't we dislike the sight of you? You go around causing destruction everywhere. It's truly unpleasant!"
Bai Yu's answer left Zhunti both amused and exasperated.
