This was bad!

However, before East Prince Gong could think of a way to win back Zhunti and Jieyin and salvage the situation,

Zhunti and Jieyin suddenly exchanged a glance.

Then they immediately retreated.

They left East Prince Gong behind to face Kunpeng and Minghe.

As they fled, they shouted, "We brothers will always remember your kindness, East Prince Gong! Please hold them off for now. We'll be going ahead!"

Zhunti and Jieyin's escape left East Prince Gong facing two Great Divine Ability Users. Stunned by their shamelessness, he was struck twice, severely wounded, and sent flying.

Fortunately, Minghe and Kunpeng didn't pursue him. Instead, they chased after Zhunti and Jieyin.

"After them!"

Even so, the delay caused by East Prince Gong had given Zhunti and Jieyin a considerable head start.

Unable to hold back any longer, Kunpeng shouted angrily, "Are you all still going to keep hiding?"

"If they make it into Chaos, who will be able to attack them?"

Zhunti and Jieyin, fleeing ahead, felt their hearts tighten. It wasn't because someone else was hiding nearby, but because their plan had been exposed.

They had originally intended to flee into Chaos as soon as they left the battlefield, then head to Zixiao Palace and seek protection. After all, no one would dare cause trouble in front of the Dao Ancestor.

But now it seemed their intentions had already been guessed.

Still unwilling to give up, the two tried anyway. They didn't care that everyone would see where they entered Chaos. They tore through the boundary and fled inside.

But the moment they entered,

hidden hands of varying strength surged toward them. Brilliant, terrifying laws blazed, forcing the brothers straight back out of Chaos.

"Chaos has been completely sealed off!"

Zhunti and Jieyin were terrified.

Those attacking them had concealed their identities, unlike Minghe and Kunpeng, who were in plain sight. That meant they had reservations and didn't dare use their full strength.

But there were so many of them—and among their pursuers were not only Great Divine Ability Users, but also ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals. All of it made one thing clear: from here on, the brothers would have to face almost the entire Primordial Wilderness.

The thought chilled them to the bone.

"Why are you only targeting us? There are six Saint Positions!"

Just as they were thinking this,

somewhere else,

Di Jun led a host of Yao Gods down to visit Fuxi and Nuwa, only to find that they had come up empty-handed. The two had vanished without a trace.

At East Kunlun, several Great Luo Golden Immortals came to Three Pure Ones Mountain to visit friends.

Yuqing Primordial and Shangqing Daoist Tongtian's disciples had all suddenly encountered various matters.

Some sensed that an opportunity had appeared; others sensed that an old friend had come to visit.

And in secret, who knew how many powerful figures were watching?

The whole world had been thrown into chaos by a single scheme.

The Primordial Wilderness was in an uproar!

At that moment, inside Pangu Hall, the Ancestral Shamans surveyed the surrounding space and time, watching the turmoil erupt across the world. Even with their far-reaching vision, they found it almost dizzying.

"I didn't really grasp it before, but now that I see it..."

"This is poisonously clever!"

"Though this scheme isn't as far-reaching as the scheme that wipes out an entire lineage,"

"the chaos it's unleashed seems countless times greater than the turmoil caused by the Tribulation System!"

Zhurong was the first to voice his amazement.

The other Ancestral Shamans nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Dijiang immediately reiterated his warning.

"All the more reason for us to conceal our Wu Clan's role in this!"

"Though we've only fanned the flames, there's no guarantee someone won't take out their anger on us!"

"Besides, this matter involves that one as well!"

Dijiang's words made the Ancestral Shamans' expressions turn solemn.

One after another, they voiced their agreement.

Clearly, they had taken his words to heart.

The matter concerned the Saint Position, and was plainly part of that one's scheme. If it were exposed, even if that one said nothing, it would likely leave a debt of Karma in his heart.

Though the one who was already acting against the Wu Clan based on the outcome was a factor, that only made it more important for the Wu Clan not to give him any grounds to target them.

Zhurong and Gonggong spoke in turn.

"Don't worry, eldest brother!"

"We're on the verge of breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm!"

"We'll surely succeed within a hundred years!"

"Even if the Quasi-Saint Era arrives, our Wu Clan won't be afraid!"

"As for the Saint Era, your younger brother has already made his move. We may not need to fear it either!"

Chu Xuan had explained the plan's next steps very clearly. The goal wasn't merely to set the Gods against one another. More importantly, it was to use the Wu Clan's unique standing to win over Great Divine Ability Users and Future Saints, and thereby influence the candidates for the Saint Positions.

The Wu Clan had always been proud, unwilling to accept powerful figures from other races.

But now, with Chu Xuan's deductions and speculation, the Quasi-Saint Era was coming, the Gods would join the Yao, and the Saint Era was on the horizon.

Even the Ancestral Shamans felt the pressure. Naturally, they wouldn't remain completely unreasonable.

At the very least, they weren't too opposed to making friends and building goodwill.

Seeing that his brothers and sisters understood the situation, Dijiang nodded in satisfaction.

As the Wu Clan's leader, he had long wanted to recruit many Great Divine Ability Users. Unfortunately, he had to consider the will of the entire clan, and in the end, he had never been able to bring it up.

But now, thanks to Chu Xuan's maneuvering, a crack had gradually opened in the minds of the other Ancestral Shamans.

"This time, we still can't accept powerful figures from other races. But at least the other Ancestral Shamans have realized we can work with them."

And that was enough!

The more Dijiang thought about it, the more excited he became over the changes Chu Xuan had brought to the Wu Clan.

Sometimes, he even thought about handing his position as leader of the Wu Clan over to Chu Xuan.

But then he remembered that ever since Chu Xuan had appeared, all three of his schemes had been poisonous schemes. Their impact had been great enough to stir the entire Primordial Wilderness, and that gave him pause.

If he handed over the leadership, who knew what astonishing things a Poisonous Scholar like Chu Xuan would do?

Dijiang hesitated for a while, then ultimately put the thought aside for now.

But he had already begun to consider it.

Thinking of this,

Dijiang couldn't help asking, "By the way, where did our younger brother go?"

"Some Great Divine Ability Users may come to visit soon. We can't do without him here to plan things out!"

He was skilled in the Great Dao of Space and had personally gone out earlier to fan the flames, playing a major role. That was why he hadn't seen Chu Xuan leave.

He had assumed Chu Xuan had only stepped out for a little while. But now, seeing that he still hadn't returned, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.

The other Ancestral Shamans didn't know much about it either. Then Xuanming Ancestral Witch suddenly spoke up.

"He took our younger sister along. He said they were going out to gather inspiration!"

"He said he had a plan!"

The familiar words left the Ancestral Shamans speechless.

He had another plan!

And this plan wasn't even over yet!
