Qin Feng was currently hiding in a remote mountain range.
He had no idea that, because of the first question, undercurrents were already stirring throughout the Primordial World.
The many mighty figures in the group could no longer hold back.
Zhunti: "Fellow Daoists, please stay calm!"
Tongtian: "Junior Sister Nuwa, Houtu, withdraw your pressure at once, so you don't alarm the beings of the Primordial World!"
Nuwa: "Senior Brother, I must have an explanation for this!"
Houtu: "Fellow Daoists, please don't interfere. I want to hear how Di Jun and Taiyi explain themselves!"
Everyone in the group secretly marveled.
Though they couldn't see one another through the Chat Group, the oppressive might radiating from Nuwa and Houtu still sent chills down their spines.
After a long while, Di Jun replied through gritted teeth, "Fellow Daoists, I think you've misunderstood us."
Taiyi quickly followed up. "Indeed. It's far too arbitrary to say Di Jun answered incorrectly based solely on this so-called Chat Group!"
Tongtian pondered for a moment. "Then why not have the group owner reveal the correct answer?"
Before Qin Feng could reply, the system automatically displayed a prompt.
[Correct answer: The Demon Race intended to dominate the Primordial World, killing the Human Race to forge the Witch Slaying Sword and exterminate the Witch Race!]
The system's icy prompt seemed to pronounce their death sentence.
Within the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Taiyi felt as though they'd fallen into an ice cellar. Their hearts turned cold.
Nuwa: "Heh! Di Jun, Taiyi, do you two have anything else to explain?"
Houtu: "It seems we have no choice but to fight!"
Haotian was incredulous. "Taiyi, Di Jun! You actually harbored such ambitions! You've truly betrayed the trust our master placed in you when he put you in charge of the Heavenly Court!"
Zhunti: "Fellow Daoists, your boldness truly makes me see you in a new light!"
Tongtian was utterly shocked. "Di Jun, Taiyi, do you know how much danger your actions will bring upon the Primordial World?"
East Prince Gong said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness the Chat Group exposed your ambitions. Otherwise, all the beings of the Primordial World would have been dragged into this!"
Di Jun: "Hmph. You won't believe me no matter what I say! We've known one another for so long, yet you'd rather trust some unfamiliar thing? Does this so-called Chat Group even make sense to you?"
Taiyi: "Indeed. I suggest Fellow Daoists Nuwa and Houtu think this through calmly! And the rest of you, including the group owner, stop fanning the flames!"
Tongtian: "Agreed! If the Witch-Demon War really breaks out, it'll be another tribulation for the Primordial World. I'm afraid none of us here could bear the consequences!"
At that moment, Taiyi's face darkened. "In my opinion, this so-called Chat Group is deliberately trying to sow discord among us, with the aim of unleashing a bloodbath throughout the Primordial World!"
Di Jun gritted his teeth as well. "Indeed. What's worse, this Chat Group is not only malicious, it also took four of my and Taiyi's spiritual treasures for no reason!"
"Luckily, I tampered with the spiritual treasures beforehand. I only need to spread my Divine Sense, and within moments, no matter how far away they hide, I'll be able to sense them!"
"Fellow Daoists! We must work together and first find a way to destroy this group!"
"If we can't destroy it, then we'll refuse to answer its questions and let it wither away on its own!"
"Then the so-called group owner, that despicable mastermind behind the scenes, will surely reveal himself when he can't take it anymore!"
"When that happens, everyone will have the right to kill him!"
Di Jun vented his fury in a fit of rage!
He was truly frustrated. He and Taiyi had only just discussed how to deal with the Witch Race, and the Chat Group had already exposed their plans.
Even worse, it had tricked him out of four spiritual treasures!
Not only had he failed to clear his name, he'd only angered Nuwa and Houtu even more!
[Di Jun answered incorrectly!] [Random punishment: 800,000 years of Mana deducted!]
Di Jun: "?????"
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath!
Di Jun was being punished too?
Even Zhunti, who was always fond of getting the better end of a deal, felt sorry for him at that moment!
He'd lost his spiritual treasures, angered Nuwa and Houtu, and now his Mana was being deducted!
Tongtian questioned it aloud. "Can it really deduct Mana?"
Whoosh!
A hazy, dim light flashed across Di Jun's body in the Heavenly Court.
His aura shifted slightly, then instantly returned to normal.
Eighty thousand years was roughly six or seven Kalpas' worth of Mana.
Though it was nothing much compared to Di Jun's cultivation, the frustration of it, along with the feeling of being schemed against, was truly unbearable!
They were always the ones scheming against others. When had they ever been mocked like this, again and again?
Now Di Jun and Taiyi were blazing with fury!
Their overwhelming might erupted at once!
In an instant, three terrifying waves of pressure burst forth across the Primordial World: from the Witch Race, the Heavenly Court, and Buzhou Mountain!
Some mighty figures were deeply worried. It looked like the Primordial World was in for a storm!
Haotian: "Was his Mana really deducted?"
Tongtian: "I don't believe it either. Could this be Di Jun's scheme?"
Hong Yun: "Fellow Daoists, who in the Primordial World besides the Dao Ancestor could do something so unfathomable?"
Haotian: "But the Dao Ancestor wouldn't have the time to play such a joke on everyone!"
Zhunti said doubtfully, "I think this is a ploy to gain sympathy!"
East Prince Gong: "Exactly! Di Jun, stop putting on an act!"
Kunpeng: "You two should come out and explain yourselves properly. At worst, you can personally pay a visit and apologize!"
Zhunti agreed. "Indeed. You may have thought about it, but you haven't actually done anything. Now that everyone knows, it's really not such a big deal!"
Within the Heavenly Court, Di Jun gazed up at the sky and let out a long sigh, almost spitting blood!
He was seething with frustration!
He'd suffered three huge losses, yet still couldn't clear his name!
He was more wronged than anyone could possibly imagine!
Di Jun looked at Taiyi, gritting his teeth as he spoke each word. "Eastern Emperor! I have to leave the group!"
Taiyi frowned slightly. "Leave the group? We were forcibly pulled in, and there's no way to leave. If we act recklessly, could it cause changes neither of us can predict?"
"Forget it. We've lost all face this time. If we don't take a hard line, the Heavenly Court's authority will inevitably suffer!"
"Fine. Give it a try!"
In the group, Di Jun replied directly. "What kind of damn Chat Group is this? It's nothing but a scam! I advise the group owner to move Taiyi and me out of this group at once!"
"Otherwise, we'll turn this group upside down!"
"Fellow Daoists, from now on, anyone who answers a question is no friend of my Demon Race!"
"If you all refuse to answer, my Demon Race is willing to offer each of you an Innate Spiritual Root and an Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
The group fell silent again. Nuwa and Houtu both frowned slightly.
They could sense Di Jun's resolve. It seemed he was truly furious this time!
Qin Feng, meanwhile, was furious. Damn Di Jun, what a troublemaker!
He couldn't even answer such a simple multiple-choice question, and now he was secretly threatening everyone else!
If he managed to turn them all against him, what the hell was he supposed to do?
"System? You there?"
"People like him need to be punished harshly!"
"You just deducted 800,000 years of his Mana? That's not enough!"
"Someone like him deserves to be struck by lightning!"
"Otherwise, he'll slaughter the Human Race sooner or later. System, hurry up and do something!"
"If you don't punish him, he'll become a menace and a cancer!"
After a long while, the group remained silent.
Di Jun was quite pleased with himself. "Since you fellow Daoists are willing to do me this favor, you're all welcome to visit the Heavenly Court once this group is disbanded!"
Everyone was secretly uneasy. This Chat Group was extremely strange and clearly no simple matter. Di Jun would probably suffer another loss.
Sure enough, the next instant, the void shuddered.
The Quasi-Saints sensed it at once!
Immediately afterward, countless Great Luos, Taiyi cultivators, and Golden Immortals all turned grave, their hearts filled with shock!
A sense of crisis suddenly stirred within them!
Rumble!
Thunder rolled and lightning flashed across the Primordial World.
Layer upon layer of tribulation clouds rapidly swept across the sky.
A terrifying aura gathered!
Crack!
A massive, thick bolt of blue lightning plunged straight down from the heavens!
Nine bolts followed one after another, each a different color!
[Di Jun violated the rules. Nine-Layered Nine-Colored Heavenly Gang Thunder will be unleashed as punishment!]
Above the Heavenly Court, thunder rumbled, and everyone feared for their lives!
Di Jun and Taiyi felt bitter inside!
They'd only answered a question! How had it brought down a calamity upon them?!
Everyone was stunned and shaken!
[The second question will begin shortly. Please be prepared!]
When they saw the prompt in the group, not only Qin Feng but also the many other mighty figures were horrified!
It had actually summoned the Nine-Layered Nine-Colored Heavenly Gang Thunder, something even Saints couldn't afford to underestimate?
Now, it was anyone's guess whether Di Jun could survive it!
If anything went wrong, the entire Heavenly Court might be reduced to rubble!
