Di Jun and Kun Peng to Become Sages? Zhun Ti Sentenced to Death!

If things truly unfolded as he imagined.

Then Di Jun and Kun Peng would have firmly secured their chance to become Sages.

When the third sermon concluded, two of the six strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi distributed by Hong Jun would surely belong to them!

At that thought, a flash of insight struck Di Tian's mind, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes.

"Good. So they've been plotting against me all along!"

If things continued developing as they were now.

Once Di Jun and the other ascended to the rank of Heavenly Dao Sages, the Demon Race's power would inevitably soar.

And according to the original course of events, after Hou Tu transformed herself into Reincarnation and could no longer appear in the world.

Di Jiang and the others would certainly be unable to lead the Witch Race against the Heavenly Court.

On a personal level.

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, he had acknowledged the Twelve Ancestral Witches as his younger brothers and sisters.

So he could never stand by and do nothing.

He could not allow the Heavenly Court to wipe out the Witch Race.

On a broader level.

The Heavenly Court had been established by traitorous Star Gods, an organization that sought to rule over billions of races and conquer the Primordial World.

As the rightful heir of the Primordial Wilderness, the emperor destined to govern all Myriad Spirits beneath heaven and earth.

He naturally could not stand by either.

And let them occupy the position of ruler that should have been his!

When the time came, the Witch and Demon Calamity would become a war between the Star Court, the Witch Race, and the Demon Race!

"This way, not only can they weaken the Star Court's strength along the way, they can also find an opportunity to have me killed."

"Hong Jun's calculations truly are impressive..."

As his gaze flickered, a chill rose in Di Tian's heart.

Worthy of being the Primordial Wilderness's greatest schemer.

The sheer foresight of his plans made even Di Tian feel ashamed.

If he had not known the rough outline of the original course of events.

Even if he escaped the first deadly calamity.

Hong Jun would still use this chance to find another opportunity to have him killed!

"Don't close the gates! Show mercy!"

Just as Di Tian was considering how to deal with Hong Jun's schemes.

Two urgent cries rang out in succession.

They immediately drew the attention of the many Innate Sacred, as well as Haotian Child, who was closing the doors.

Toward the void outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

The instant everyone looked over.

Two gleaming bald men wriggled like loaches through a crack in the nearly closed palace gates.

Forcing their way into the Purple Cloud Palace!

The moment they saw the six exceedingly conspicuous Prayer Mats, an idea immediately formed in their hearts.

Zhun Ti opened his mouth at once. Wiping away tears as he wailed, he began to play up his misery.

"Senior brother, we've suffered so much!"

"Poor us brothers, who traveled thousands of miles and endured countless hardships to come here, only to find that we do not even have a seat. Sob, sob, sob..."

Jie Yin was even more accomplished than his teacher.

Covering his face with his Daoist robe, he poured out his misery with wild abandon, displaying his grief to the fullest.

"How pitiful!"

"We brothers traveled day and night, enduring countless perils, yet we were still one step too late."

"Not only is there no place for us, even..."

Yet none of the many Innate Sacred within the Purple Cloud Palace paid any attention to their wailing.

Instead, they all cast mocking, indifferent, and disgusted looks at them.

"Shut up!"

Wang Shu had always possessed a cold and aloof nature.

Only when facing Xi He, Chang Xi, and Di Tian would she reveal a gentle, tender side.

At all other times, she was cold and merciless, impartial and stern.

Seeing Jie Yin and Zhun Ti making more and more of a scene, until they had even collapsed onto the ground and begun wailing incessantly.

The irritation in her heart surged, and she coldly rebuked them.

However, the two of them treated their faces like used toilet paper—after wiping their asses with it, they could still wipe their faces.

Moreover, they had only recently been born into the world, and their knowledge of the forces under heaven was limited to rumors spread among living beings.

As a result, neither of them knew Wang Shu's true identity.

They merely believed that, as more and more Innate Sacred showed impatience toward them and even seemed inclined to act.

In order to display his benevolence and heavenly grace.

Hong Jun would surely take pity on them, or perhaps find them too troublesome.

And grant them a seat.

Of course, they admitted there was an element of gambling involved.

But cultivation itself was a gamble.

Win, and one ascended to the supreme!

Lose, and one's body and soul perished!

The limited number of Prayer Mats within the Purple Cloud Palace undoubtedly showed that immense opportunities lay within them.

If they could win this gamble and gain Hong Jun's pity.

It would be the equivalent of obtaining an enormous opportunity for nothing!

"Sob, sob, sob... We came from the Extremely West Land, traveling all this way, yet not only have we received no hospitality, we have instead been harshly rebuked by a mere woman."

"Could it be that the East no longer has anyone capable of taking charge, and its countless living beings have all been..."

As a performer, one naturally had to keep a close eye on the reactions and behavior of the surrounding audience.

While Zhun Ti continued wailing.

He suddenly noticed that the Innate Sacred around them.

Had all revealed expressions of panic, astonishment, and amusement.

And as though they were some calamity to be avoided at all costs.

In merely a few breaths, they had all retreated more than thirty feet away.

None dared come anywhere near them.

Such a bizarre situation gradually caused the pair to stop crying out. With puzzled eyes, they looked around.

Trying to discern from the eyes of the many Innate Sacred what exactly had gone wrong.

However, Zhun Ti had insulted Wang Shu!

The principal consort of the Lord of the All Heavens Stars!

The ruler of the Star Radiance Divine Court—the Taiyin Star God!

A supreme powerhouse at the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Middle Stage!

Given what Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had just done.

It was already generous enough that no one had kicked them while they were down.

And they expected others to tell them why?

What a delusion!

Even Hong Yun, universally acknowledged throughout the Primordial Wilderness as a good man.

Merely remained silent, looking at them with pity in his eyes.

He had no intention whatsoever of explaining the reason.

"Insulting my Dao companion, disrupting the sermon, misleading the masses..."

Just as the two were utterly bewildered.

Di Tian rose from his Prayer Mat and slowly walked over to Zhun Ti. With icy eyes, he calmly listed the crimes Zhun Ti had committed since entering the Purple Cloud Palace.

"In my capacity as the Lord of the Star Radiance Divine Court and the rightful ruler of the Primordial World, I sentence you to death."

"Do you have any last words?"

Hearing Di Tian's judgment, Zhun Ti's pupils suddenly contracted.

He realized just how foolish a mistake he had made.

And understood why the many Innate Sacred had suddenly displayed such bizarre expressions.

"Star... Star Emperor, I did not know that goddess was your Dao companion."

"Nor did I deliberately disrupt the sermon!"

"And I certainly did not mislead the masses!"

"You..."

However, Di Tian had no desire to hear his explanation.

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand, the Great Dao of Destruction coiling around it. With indifferent eyes, he coldly pronounced judgment.

"Since you have no last words."

"Then be on your way."

As his words fell, the Measuring Ruler was raised high!

Boundless divine might erupted in an instant, and the Great Dao of Destruction suppressed heaven and earth.

As Zhun Ti trembled in terror.

Under Jie Yin's frantic gaze.

The many Innate Sacred all revealed expressions of curiosity, surprise, amusement, and mockery.

Yet just as Zhun Ti was about to have his skull smashed apart.

Hong Jun finally could no longer sit by and ignore it.

He flashed before Di Tian and used the might of the All Heavens Celebration Cloud to block the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler's edge!

"I ask that you give me some face."

"Spare his life..."
