The Primordial Great Powers Were Stunned: Why Were the Saints Fighting? The Dao Ancestor's Compensation?

They couldn't win the argument.

They couldn't win a fight either, and they couldn't pull their shameless tricks on Yuqing.

The Two Sages of the West had truly met soldiers as scholars: they had reason on their side but couldn't make themselves heard. Aggrieved beyond words, they hurriedly turned to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
