The Dao Ancestor Summons the Saints to Destroy the Interception Sect? Venerable Yuanshi's Fury

"Jieyin, Zhunti, come to Zixiao Palace at once."

The solemn, majestic voice vanished without a trace in moments, but the Two Shakya's expressions shifted.

This...

Wasn't that the Dao Ancestor's voice?

But why was he calling them to Zixiao Palace?

Hadn't they just returned from there?

Why summon them back?

"Senior Brother, do you know..."

Saint Zhunti's face was grave. He left the question unfinished, but his meaning was clear.

He wanted to know why the Dao Ancestor had summoned them.

The Dao Ancestor never acted without cause. More often than not, everything he did served a purpose.

That had been true in the past, and it was true now...

His actions always served a purpose. He never loosed an arrow without a target.

What came to Zhunti's mind, though, was that the Dao Ancestor meant to move against the Western Teachings—or demand their help with something.

How could Saint Zhunti not be afraid?

The Western Teachings had hacked their way through thorns, scraping by in poverty, before finally building what they had today.

They had plotted for years and only just managed to wrest some benefits from the Saints of the East, securing a small share of the Fortune Aura within the Human Dao.

Yet the Dao Ancestor had not raised the matter while all the Heavenly Dao Saints were present.

Instead, he had called them over for a private talk.

He must want the Western Teachings to do some dirty work for him!

And dirty work inevitably came at a cost.

Why would they want to pay that cost?

The Two Sages of the West had always taken and never given~

"I don't know..."

Saint Jieyin's expression was no better.

Their usual lamentations before the Primordial Wilderness worked only because Hongjun chose to give them a way out
