As long as Yuanshi Tianzun stepped in, he represented the Three Pure Ones. Would a mere monkey really dare offend them?
How could Ye Jun fail to see Jieyin's little scheme? He sneered inwardly. Trying to borrow someone else's blade to kill me? Too bad your blade isn't very sharp.
With that thought, Ye Jun glanced back at the Three Pure Ones. Taishang Laojun had his eyes closed, resting as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Yuanshi Tianzun was looking this way, but he didn't say a word. Tongtian, on the other hand, looked like he was enjoying the show.
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones were completely unmoved, Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly didn't know what to do.
"Indeed, the Three Pure Ones are Great Beings in the primordial world. Fellow Daoist, are you really going to sit here?" Zhunti pressed his palms together and tried to sow discord again.
Unfortunately, the Three Pure Ones remained expressionless and silent.
Kunpeng inwardly cursed the two old baldies as he watched them. These two old fools still don't know that Ye Jun defeated the Three Pure Ones one after another outside Zixiao Palace.
At a time like this, the Three Pure Ones naturally didn't want anything more to do with Ye Jun.
They couldn't afford to lose face again!
But Jieyin and Zhunti had no idea, and nobody bothered to explain it to them.
They kept trying to drive a wedge between the Three Pure Ones and Ye Jun.
Ye Jun had heard so much of it that his ears were practically calloused.
"Fellow Daoists, Zixiao Palace isn't the place for you to stand around chattering!" Ye Jun spoke up again.
He looked at Jieyin and Zhunti's arrogant expressions, then turned to the Three Pure Ones. "Fellow Daoists, you can put up with this kind of provocation?"
Ye Jun wasn't the forgiving sort. He had been waiting all along, waiting for Jieyin and Zhunti to keep stirring things up.
Waiting for the Three Pure Ones to lose their patience!
As for who would borrow the blade, and who would be killed, that was something he needed to consider carefully.
Hearing Ye Jun say this, Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun remained expressionless.
Tongtian shook his head helplessly, then roared, "Jieyin, shut up! Stop trying to drive a wedge between us!"
When Tongtian stepped in, Jieyin and Zhunti's hearts skipped a beat.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, that monkey is sitting here. Are you really going to ignore him?"
"Doesn't that tarnish the reputation of the Three Pure Ones?"
Jieyin still wouldn't give up.
Tongtian's face turned livid. Is this old bald fool an idiot?
Wasn't I clear enough?
"What the Three Pure Ones do is our own business. It's not your place to meddle!" Tongtian's tone was already full of displeasure.
Now it was Jieyin and Zhunti's turn to be bewildered. Could this monkey have some sort of connection to the Three Pure Ones?
"Are Jieyin and Zhunti crazy? The one beside Nuwa defeated the Three Pure Ones one after another, and they still dare provoke him?"
The two demons' conversation below reached Jieyin and Zhunti's ears.
Defeated the Three Pure Ones one after another? A monkey?
If the Three Pure Ones hadn't been acting so strangely, they would never have believed it, even if they were beaten to death.
Jieyin and Zhunti's faces instantly turned terribly ugly. Ye Jun looked at them with a faint smile and slowly asked, "Do you have anything else to say, fellow Daoists?"
He had struck at their hearts!
Tongtian couldn't help but shudder. This monkey was more than just extraordinary.
He had defeated the Three Pure Ones and toyed with Jieyin and Zhunti. Truly, he was a remarkable talent!
Faced with Ye Jun's mockery, Jieyin could only snort coldly and sweep his sleeve as he went over to the seat beside Kunpeng.
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, may I borrow your seat?" Jieyin asked, staring at him.
"Hmph, old bald fool. Do I look like an easy target? You want my seat? No chance!" Kunpeng was furious now, too.
Those two old baldies had no shame. After being put in their place by Ye Jun, they had set their sights on Kunpeng's seat.
"Kunpeng, I gave you a chance. If you don't give up the seat, I won't let you off once we leave Zixiao Palace!"
Jieyin stared at Kunpeng, his face dark as water.
It was bad enough that the two of them had been thwarted by that monkey. Now even Kunpeng wanted to oppose them?
You're asking for death!
Kunpeng's expression changed several times. Just as he was about to say something, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Jieyin, Zhunti, the two of you really are disgusting."
"The seating for the Sage's lecture at Zixiao Palace is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Since there are no seats left, you two can get lost!"
The one speaking was naturally Ye Jun.
"You!" Jieyin pointed at Ye Jun, but had nothing to say.
"What about me? Hurry up and get lost! You're making fools of yourselves. If the Sage found out you were here trying to snatch someone else's seat, I'm afraid you wouldn't get off lightly."
Ye Jun spoke in an even tone.
Ever since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had refused to take him as a disciple, Ye Jun had particularly disliked people who acted as if they were above everyone else.
Weren't they just two Great Beings from the Western World?
If they had the nerve, they could come at him!
Jieyin and Zhunti were livid, their eyes bloodshot. They looked ready to attack.
But when they remembered that even the Three Pure Ones couldn't deal with this monkey, their anger immediately deflated.
Jieyin snorted coldly, glanced at Ye Jun and Kunpeng, then went to sit in a seat farther back.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?" Kunpeng looked at Ye Jun gratefully.
If Ye Jun hadn't spoken up for him, Kunpeng definitely wouldn't have been able to keep his seat.
Those two old baldies were shameless, but their cultivation was the real thing.
Even Ye Jun couldn't deny that.
"I'm Ye Jun. As for what happened with Jieyin and Zhunti, don't worry about it."
"I just don't want those two old baldies sitting beside me, either," Ye Jun said with a nod.
Ye Jun?
The Three Pure Ones nearby had heard the name, too. Tongtian made a point of remembering it.
If nothing unexpected happened, many people throughout the primordial world would know that name after this lecture at Zixiao Palace.
"Look, the Dao Ancestor has appeared!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone gathered in Zixiao Palace looked toward the front of the hall.
Clouds of auspicious energy appeared one after another, gathering into a cloud-bed inside Zixiao Palace.
For a moment, the entire palace shimmered with golden light, while purple mist filled the air.
Amid faint dragon roars and phoenix cries, a figure with an immortal bearing appeared atop the cloud-bed as Dao Rhyme swirled around him.
"We pay our respects to the Sage!"
The moment Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared, the many listeners immediately knelt and called out in unison.
Ye Jun knelt as well, but his face was full of disdain.
"Please, everyone, rise. Several tens of thousands of years ago, I attained Dao and became a Saint. To spread the Method of Becoming a Saint throughout the primordial world, I have established Zixiao Palace to preach the Dao."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice reached the ears of the three thousand demons, like music from beyond the heavens.
The listeners looked at Hongjun with even greater reverence.
What a fine way to win people over! Ye Jun sneered inwardly.
The moment Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared, he saw Ye Jun sitting in the front row.
He felt deeply uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about this fellow.
Surely I can't personally attack him when I'm a Saint!
