"This is too much!" Kunpeng was instantly enraged at the sight.
"East Prince Gong, mind your own business. That was mine!"
"You think I don't know what you're all after? We're all the same!"
"Don't touch my share!"
As one Great Divine Ability User after another arrived, all seeking to claim the Cushions, Jieyin and Zhunti finally caught on.
Those Cushions were definitely no ordinary things.
They were far more than just High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Most importantly, they had attracted the covetous eyes of the crowd!
The two men's expressions changed dramatically.
They might not be able to hold on to their Cushions.
Though the Cushions weren't on their persons, if they died—
One or two Great Divine Ability Users would be manageable.
As Great Divine Ability Users themselves, they weren't afraid of them, though they might be at a disadvantage when it came to spiritual treasures.
But now the matter of the Cushions had clearly spread. There were already three here. Who knew how many others were lurking in the shadows?
Jieyin steeled himself and stepped forward.
"Fellow Daoists, could you explain what this matter with the Cushions is all about?"
"If it can be discussed, my brother and I might be willing to hand them over!"
That was right: Jieyin was having second thoughts. The waters here were clearly too deep!
However, he had no idea that his words left Minghe and Kunpeng, who had spoken earlier, speechless.
Explain? And you'd still be willing to hand them over?
Those were Saint Positions!
Who'd believe that?
The two said nothing, but East Prince Gong burst out laughing.
"I was just about to refute Fellow Daoist Kunpeng. I'm not like the two of you!"
"I didn't come for the Cushions. I came to protect these two Daoists!"
"I wish to earn the favor of the Future Saints!"
Rumble—
The moment those final words fell, Minghe and Kunpeng, who had already sensed something was wrong, both erupted in fury.
"How dare you!"
"You dare!"
Then they attacked at the same time—not East Prince Gong, but Zhunti and Jieyin.
Now that the truth had been blurted out, there was no chance of a peaceful handover. Naturally, they had to strike first.
If they couldn't get the Cushions peacefully, they'd take them by force.
Those were Saint Positions!
As for offending Zhunti and Jieyin, no one cared.
Compared to the other four Cushions, Zhunti and Jieyin had the shallowest foundations and were the easiest targets.
The entire Primordial Wilderness coveted the Cushions. No one thought the two could hold on to them. They were as good as dead. Since they weren't Future Saints yet, why worry about offending them?
Kunpeng beat his wings and attacked. The Sea of Blood surged forth, and the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords flew into the fray.
The instant the two top Great Divine Ability Users made their move, the whole Primordial Wilderness was shaken.
Countless powerful beings turned their attention to the scene.
And when East Prince Gong had revealed their purpose, Zhunti and Jieyin finally understood why everyone wanted the Cushions. They couldn't conceal the favor of the Future Saints, let alone their demands for the Cushions.
These were Saint Positions!
The Cushions were actually tied to Saint Positions!

The Cushions were actually tied to Saint Positions!
They'd guessed the Cushions were important, but never imagined they were this important!
They were stunned for a moment.
That left them at a disadvantage, and they were struck hard.
Mount Sumeru was blown apart in an instant.
Their foundations were reduced to nothing.
Zhunti and Jieyin were sent flying.
But they quickly recovered.
They immediately counterattacked.
Zhunti and Jieyin each wielded a supreme-grade innate spiritual root transformed from their former True Bodies: the Innate Bodhi Tree and the Innate Bitter Bamboo. They fought back.
They weren't going to hand them over!
Those were Saint Positions!
Rumble—
The two innate spiritual roots descended, clashing with Kunpeng's wings and Yuantu Abi.
The clash shook the heavens and earth, tearing apart mountains and rivers. Even the void was beaten dry, and Earth Wind Water Fire began to re-form.
At that moment, East Prince Gong also joined the fight.
He smiled and said,
"Fellow Daoists, I've come to help!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five Great Divine Ability Users were locked in a chaotic battle.
With East Prince Gong's help, Zhunti and Jieyin managed to recover their earlier disadvantage, despite having been caught off guard once.
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at East Prince Gong with gratitude.
"If we truly attain the Dao in the future, we'll owe him this kindness..."
But before they could finish the thought,
they saw Minghe and Kunpeng, who had noticed East Prince Gong using them as a stepping stone to earn their favor, fly into a rage.
They exposed him outright.
"You two fools still believe him? Do you really think he came to help you?"
"He wants everything. For now, he sees you haven't reached your end, so he's trying to win your favor. If you fall behind, he can turn on you and seize your fortune! He might even take advantage of the chaos to claim the spoils of a sneak attack!"
"Who in this world doesn't want to become a Saint?"
When those words fell,
Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions changed at once, and East Prince Gong's face darkened too.
The last sentence was true. Who in this world didn't want to become a Saint?
Even though Zhunti and Jieyin knew it was an attempt to sow discord, they no longer dared to trust East Prince Gong as they had before.
Their alliance weakened.
Minghe and Kunpeng gradually gained the upper hand.
And once they had the advantage, the two tacitly turned to attack East Prince Gong first.
After all, with that troublemaker here, they were worried he'd snatch the spoils.
East Prince Gong was beaten back again and again. Furious, he could only defend himself with words.
"It's false! You've been deceived. Those words are meant to sow discord. Why would I do something so dishonorable?"
At the very least, even if he really had that in mind, he hadn't shown it yet.
East Prince Gong raged inwardly.
But it was already too late. He was injured several times and gradually became the weakest person on the battlefield.
