As Xuanming followed Sect Leader Tongtian into the Wa Imperial Palace, he immediately sensed the subtle atmosphere.

Not only was there an extra man inside the Wa Imperial Palace, but that man also seemed unwelcoming to their arrival?

No need to "seem"!

As soon as Sect Leader Tongtian greeted Nuwa, he saw the man stand up and begin to apologize with a look of regret.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I am truly sorry. My junior sister's considerations were not thorough before. She may not be able to participate in your upcoming plan!"

"Oh??"

Sect Leader Tongtian raised an eyebrow in amusement at this, "Fuxi, are you saying that your Huoyun Cave will stand in opposition to me?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Fuxi's expression changed slightly. He clearly hadn't expected Tongtian to say that and quickly explained, "My junior sister and I from Huoyun Cave have always stayed out of worldly affairs. We have no intention of opposing you, fellow Daoist!"

"Is that so? But I don't believe you!"

The smile on Tongtian's face turned cold, and a hint of anger mixed into his tone. "You can go back on your word about something you've already agreed to with me. What guarantee do you have that I should believe?"

"This..."

Fuxi was a bit stunned. He stared blankly at Sect Leader Tongtian in front of him, suddenly feeling that this person was a bit unfamiliar.

What the heck?

Has it been too long since they last met?

He remembered that Sect Leader Tongtian used to be very easy to talk to?

Even when his disciples betrayed him one after another back then, he wasn't this angry, was he?

What's going on?

Could it be?

After observing Tongtian and Nuwa back and forth for a moment, an unreliable but very reasonable thought suddenly popped into Fuxi's mind: Could they have gotten together?

Otherwise, there's no reason for this.

His own little sister, who knew from the very beginning not to get involved in their brothers' disputes, would inexplicably want to join now?

"Senior Brother, don't rush~!"

Seeing her elder brother unable to speak from being rebuffed, Nuwa smiled wryly and stepped forward to explain, "Brother doesn't know the inside story of this matter, and I can't explain it to him in detail. It's understandable that he's worried!"

"Is that so?"

Sect Leader Tongtian nodded in relief. So it was just Fuxi's wishful thinking? He had thought Nuwa was really going to go back on her word.

In that case, their plan might need to be adjusted.

After all, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Two Sages of the West were already enough for him and Journey to the West Tongtian to handle.

What if Nuwa were added to the mix?

It would be difficult!

Even if Yunxiao had also become a Saint, the three of them might not be able to crush these five veteran Saints.

After all, their long lives weren't for nothing.

Fortunately, Although Nuwa's personality was relatively gentle, her decisions were generally unchangeable, and she didn't have a habit of breaking her word.

"Brother, there's no need to discuss this further!"

Raising his hand to interrupt Fuxi, who still wanted to say something, Nuwa's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, and she said firmly:

"After this is done, I will explain it to you clearly. You don't need to ask so many questions now."

"I..."

Fuxi looked deeply at Nuwa. Thinking he had guessed the truth, he couldn't say anything more and simply sighed, looking at Tongtian.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I entrust my junior sister to you. Take good care of her!"

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you can rest assured!"

Sect Leader Tongtian didn't grasp the deeper meaning in Fuxi's words and smiled, nodding, "I have no intention of letting Junior Sister go fight them. She just needs to stay in the rear and take care of my grand-disciple!"

Saying this, without waiting for the two to show surprise, Tongtian beckoned to Xuanming.

"Xuanming, you stay here with Junior Sister? I'll come pick you up after I'm done over there!"

"Okay!"

Xuanming agreed. After Tongtian introduced him to Nuwa and Fuxi, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Xuanming greets the two Grandmasters!"

"You're too kind!"

Nuwa smiled and nodded. After chatting with Tongtian for a few more words and watching him leave, she turned to look at Xuanming.

"Xuanming, how are your affairs going? The situation outside seems a bit unfavorable!"

"More than just not good?"

Xuanming walked straight over and sat down beside her, a hint of schadenfreude in his tone as he explained, "Jin Chanzi and Guanyin Bodhisattva are already dead. Buddhism thinks the Heavenly Court did it and is leading their forces to attack the Heavenly Court!"

"What?!"

Before Nuwa could even react, Fuxi, standing beside her, became restless.

"Guanyin, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Jin Chanzi are dead? And Buddhism is going to attack the Heavenly Court? This... everything's in chaos!"

"Grandmaster, isn't chaos good?"

The smile on Xuanming's lips deepened. This was just the beginning. When his Eldest Martial Uncle Yunxiao became a Saint, the Great Desolation World would be even more chaotic.

However, if Nuwa could join in, wouldn't the shock be even more intense for them?

"Grandmaster, do you know what I've obtained this time?"

Meeting Nuwa's curious gaze, Xuanming raised his eyebrows playfully, acting mysterious, as if he had something good in his hand.

"What? Could it be..."

Nuwa's eyes lit up at his words, and the Primordial Violet Qi that was on the tip of her tongue almost slipped out.

Fortunately, she caught herself at the last moment.

"Brother, why don't you go back first?"

Turning to Fuxi, who was standing beside her with a shocked expression, Nuwa gave him a subtle wink. "Huoyun Cave can't be left unattended. Why don't you go back and hold the fort? It wouldn't be good if something happened!"

"I... Alright!"

Fuxi sighed inwardly. Was his sister really growing up too fast? She was starting to keep secrets from him, her own brother!

But he couldn't do anything about it.

Helplessly, He could only shake his head and sigh, filled with worry, preparing to find some old friends to chat with.

It's better to be safe than sorry!

What if Tongtian, that old rascal, was suppressed by the several Saints again? He had to find a way to save his silly sister, right?

Of course!

Nuwa had no idea her brother was already looking for a backup plan for her. She was currently staring blankly at a stone Xuanming had taken out.

"Xuan, Xuanming, are you saying that if I use this stone, my magic treasures can be upgraded to Innate Supreme Treasures?!"

"Yes!"

Xuanming nodded affirmatively, then handed the upgrade stone directly to her. "Grandmaster, why don't you try it? It'll also help verify if it's useful!"

"This..."

Nuwa hesitated.

She admitted that she dreamed of owning an Innate Supreme Treasure, as her best magic treasures were only Innate Spirit Treasures.

But sometimes, good things weren't that easy to get!

Just like this one before her.

Although Xuanming hadn't said anything, as an intelligent person, Nuwa naturally understood his intention. Once she accepted this Innate Supreme Treasure, how could she maintain her neutrality? Even if she didn't participate in the battle, she would at least have to stand with Tongtian and the others before the war began, otherwise, how could she be worthy of this Innate Supreme Treasure?

But it was precisely because of this that she hesitated. She kept asking herself: was it worth it?
