Descend to Journey to the West? The Three Demons of Lion Camel Ridge! The furious Tongtian Sect Master!

In the chaos, there was neither light nor day.

Time and space had almost no presence here; countless years passed in a blur.

Not only that, but danger was also omnipresent in the chaos.

Besides the Primordial Beasts that could swallow worlds in a single gulp, there were also the gale-force winds and Sha Qi that could extinguish the soul fire of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, visible everywhere.

Therefore, this was a veritable forbidden zone for immortals!

Even a Quasi-Saint who had already severed three corpses had to proceed with caution in the chaos, or they would face the danger of falling at any moment.

However, for a Saint who could manifest all things with a single thought, this was naturally not a major issue.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a dazzling beam of light that tore through the darkness, four Immortal-Slaying Swords, their bodies radiating countless bolts of lightning, appeared.

"We're here!"

Within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, Sect Leader Tongtian, still dressed in his gray robe, looked up at a faintly visible vortex not far away.

"If your coordinates are correct, that world is hidden within there!"

"Hoo~!"

Xuanming took a deep breath, calming his dizzy mind from the rapid movement. Only then did he turn to look at Sect Leader Tongtian.

"Grandmaster, remember, no matter what you encounter over there, you must remain calm!"

"..."

Sect Leader Tongtian stared at Xuanming speechlessly upon hearing this. "You brat, keep playing coy, and believe it or not, I'll throw you out?"

"Grandmaster, the main thing is, words are not proof!"

Xuanming also felt wronged. If he weren't afraid of this powerful being impulsively swatting him to death, he would have revealed everything long ago.

But did he dare?

Above him, his most trusted Master and brothers ganged up to suppress him; below him, his closest disciple defected with his trump card...

Setting aside whether Sect Leader Tongtian would believe these unhappened events.

Even if he believed, could he not be agitated?

When a Saint rages, the heavens and earth collapse. At that time, where would a mere Golden Immortal like him be blown away by a single breath?

Therefore, even though Sect Leader Tongtian expressed his displeasure, Xuanming gritted his teeth and refused to budge.

"Hmph~!"

Sect Leader Tongtian snorted unhappily upon seeing this, but glancing at the vortex not far away, he said no more.

In any case, he would know everything soon enough!

"Let's go!"

Sect Leader Tongtian, having made up his mind, waved his hand. The four Immortal-Slaying Swords, shimmering with lightning, moved instantly, escorting the two of them into the vortex.

The next moment...

Pop~!

Accompanied by the sound of an air wall being pierced, the scene before Xuanming and the other man's eyes suddenly changed: a hellish spectacle appeared abruptly before them.

In the city below, a Green Lion, a White Elephant, and a Golden-Winged Great Peng were feasting on the city's inhabitants.

Especially the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

Its great maw opened, and hundreds of thousands of citizens, struggling and wailing, were sucked into it.

"This, this is?!"

Sect Leader Tongtian, who had instinctively concealed his figure, looked at the scene before him. Besides shock, his eyes were filled with rage.

"These beasts, how dare they slaughter living beings like this? They are trying to destroy the foundation of my Intercepting Sect!"

"Grandmaster..."

Xuanming suppressed the urge to rush out and get beaten. He reported in a low voice from the side, "Martial Uncle Qiushou and Martial Uncle Lingya have defected to the Western Teachings. They are now the mounts of the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Samantabhadra of the Western Teachings..."

"What?!"

Before Xuanming could finish speaking, Sect Leader Tongtian suddenly turned his head, his aura becoming unstable.

"What did you just say? They, they defected to that Western Teachings of Jieyin and Zhunti?!"

"That's right!"

Xuanming nodded, reminding him somewhat worriedly, "Grandmaster, please don't act impulsively. It won't be good if we're discovered..."

"So what if we're discovered?!"

Sect Leader Tongtian, who had agreed to everything before coming, no longer cared about what would happen if they were discovered.

He could not accept this outcome!

Even if the Green Lion and White Elephant had defected to the Heavenly Origin Sect or Renjiao, he could still accept it, as the Three Pure Ones were one family.

But they actually went to defect to the Western Teachings, who aren't even fit to carry their shoes?

"Pah!!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier Tongtian became. With a wave of his hand, the Three Demons of Shituoling, who were tormenting humans in the distance, felt a chill run down their backs.

"This is bad!!"

Golden-Winged Great Peng's heart skipped a beat. Although it didn't know who had attacked them, it was clear that this person's strength was beyond its ability to resist. It immediately manifested its ten-thousand-zhang Dharma body, intending to tear through space and escape.

The Green Lion and White Elephant beside it did the same.

But before they could even manifest their Dharma bodies, they felt the world spin. When they regained their senses, two figures had appeared before them.

"How, how dare you!!"

Golden-Winged Great Peng tilted its neck defiantly. "Do you know who I am? How dare you meddle in the affairs of Buddhism? When Tathagata arrives later, don't you dare be scared out of your wits!"

"Tathagata? Who is Tathagata?"

Sect Leader Tongtian frowned slightly. Among the veteran Quasi-Saints and even the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Primordial World, there didn't seem to be such a person.

"Grandmaster..." Xuanming hesitated beside him.

"Speak if you have something to say!"

Sect Leader Tongtian's expression turned grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even the Seven Attendant Immortals defected to the Western Teachings, what can this venerable master not accept?"

"But, but Tathagata is Senior Brother Duobao!"

"What?!"

Tongtian acted as if he had heard something unbelievable, his eyes widening. "You, you're saying that even Duobao has defected to the Western Teachings?!"

"Yes!"

Xuanming nodded again. Although he had heard from later generations that there were hidden reasons behind this, it didn't seem like it from Tongtian's current reaction!

Didn't he almost crush Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Green Lion and White Elephant to death?

Yes!

Upon hearing that his personal disciple, the Senior Brother of the Intercepting Sect, and the foremost among the myriad immortals, Duobao Daoist, had also defected to the Western Teachings, Tongtian could no longer control the killing intent deep within his heart.

The most direct manifestation?

The Three Demons of Shituoling, who could still barely stand, were now lying on the ground, on the verge of death.

"Master... It's Master..."

Although they felt like dying under the unintentional aura emanating from Sect Leader Tongtian, when the Green Lion Demon and White Elephant Demon recognized Tongtian's identity, they didn't feel terrified. Instead, they felt ecstatic.

"Qiushou, Lingya!"

Tongtian came back to his senses, suppressed the violence deep within his heart, withdrew his aura, and looked coldly at the Green Lion and White Elephant.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Master!!!"

The Green Lion and White Elephant, who had managed to stand up again, knelt excitedly before Sect Leader Tongtian, weeping and wailing.

"Master, you, you finally decided to take care of us!"

"Wuwuwu..."

"Master, Buddhism, those bastards in Buddhism are not human. Not only do they treat us from the Intercepting Sect like beasts of burden, but they also force us to slaughter mortals everywhere, deepening the Intercepting Sect's sins!"

"Master, please, save our brothers!!"

Sect Leader Tongtian: "???"
