After being stared down and warned by Luo Qing, Zhunti was furious inside.
Why was he singling me out? Everyone had been involved when we cursed Fire Ancestor Divine Being to death earlier.
But what truly made Zhunti feel horrified and break out in a cold sweat was that, before coming here, he had genuinely considered ambushing Long Ling while she was attaining sainthood.
After Luo Qing's warning, Zhunti immediately abandoned the idea.
He had a feeling that if Long Ling really failed to attain sainthood this time,
then no matter the reason, he would probably become Luo Qing's target for venting his anger.
There was a high chance he would die at Luo Qing's hands—not the kind of death from which he could revive afterward.
He would truly vanish from the Primordial Wilderness completely.
The moment this thought appeared in his mind,
Zhunti's expression froze, but he quickly put on a smile again.
"Fellow Luo Qing, rest assured. If anyone deliberately sabotages my beloved disciple's path to sainthood, I will be the first to show that person no mercy."
He gave Luo Qing an impassioned assurance, as though he and Hua Tian Peak were close allies.
Ancestor Hongjun, Nuwa, and Laozi stood nearby, all wearing speechless expressions.
Among all these Sages, Zhunti was still the most shameless.
In truth, they had misunderstood Zhunti this time. In the face of a threat to his life,
Zhunti genuinely hoped that Long Ling would attain sainthood successfully, so that he would not be implicated and suffer Luo Qing's deadly retaliation.
"Hahaha... Let's watch Fellow Long Ling weather the tribulation!"
Jieyin saw that Zhunti was still shaken and acting strangely, so he hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Luo Qing nodded at this.
He no longer continued warning the several Sages about Zhunti.
