Two Old Ancestors: Old Ancestor Yang Mei's Malice, Dragging Us Two Down

Great Immortal Yang Mei was well aware that the Primordial World was a world in decline.

With each Great Tribulation, the Primordial World decayed further. From the Primordial World to the Investiture of the Gods, and finally to the Journey to the West, which spanned only a hundred and eight thousand li, the once boundless Primordial World was reduced to a mere hundred and eight thousand li.

The missing parts of the Primordial World had surely been refined by Hongjun. In his eyes, Hongjun was nothing but a cunning old schemer.

Therefore, he had to use Hongjun to his own advantage.

If Hongjun could steal parts of the Primordial World, why couldn't he? He wanted to usurp Hongjun's position, become the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson, and then use Hongjun's methods to steal parts of the Primordial World.

Hongjun heard all of Yang Mei's thoughts and couldn't help but feel a pang of shame.

Hongjun now regretted his previous thoughts. This person was no different from other Transmigrators!

Remember, no difference at all.

However, Hongjun decided to play along with Yang Mei.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, what do you think?"

Seeing Hongjun's continued silence, Yang Mei grew even more smug.

Didn't expect this, did you?

Heh, Hongjun, let's see what you'll do now.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, do you have any evidence for what you say?"

Hongjun asked with a slight frown.

"Evidence? It's not that hard to find. With our divine senses, if we put our minds to it, we can definitely find traces of Mo Race disciples deliberately stirring up trouble among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races."

Yang Mei continued confidently:

"Let's take a good look now. It won't take long."

After Great Immortal Yang Mei's reminder, Old Ancestor Yin Yang and Old Ancestor Qiankun began to keep a close eye on Luohu.

As soon as there were any signs of activity from the Western Mo Race, they would be watching from the shadows.

Although the Primordial Continent was vast, it was relatively easy for Ancestor-level figures to detect the slightest traces of Luohu's followers and Mo Cult disciples if they were determined.

Over ten thousand years, after careful observation, they indeed discovered Luohu's secret machinations, which were causing the relationships between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races to become increasingly delicate.

The discord among the Innate Three Races was not solely due to their own internal issues; more often than not, it was Luohu instigating it from the shadows.

Another hundred years passed, and the few Fellow Daoists gathered once more.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, since we now know of Luohu's schemes, we absolutely cannot let him succeed. Therefore, we have decided to go to the West together to punish Luohu. What are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist?"

After confirming that Luohu intended to instigate a war among the Three Races and seek enlightenment through killing, Great Immortal Yang Mei and the others harbored the intention to punish Luohu.

Of course, in reality, it was mainly Yang Mei who was stirring up their emotions. These two had already become Yang Mei's fanatical followers.

The Dao and the Mo were naturally opposed. If Luohu were to achieve Sainthood now, not only would billions of living beings in the Primordial World suffer, but the entire Primordial World would likely be reduced to primordial Chaos.

It wasn't that Yang Mei and the others had an excess of righteousness; they had no choice.

Would Luohu let them go?

Would a few Quasi-Sage level Ancestors be spared? They would surely be refined!

If they didn't fight, they would die.

During this time, Yang Mei had also tried to use his advantage as a Transmigrator to persuade the Three Races, urging the Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins to cease their pointless conflicts.

The Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race politely refused.

The Dragon Race, however, met him with Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon, having believed Ancestral Dragon's words, thought that Hongjun and his group were all bad people.

Thus, he used a newly learned phrase from Ancestral Dragon to retort to Yang Mei.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Get lost, you son of a bitch!"

Yang Mei was enraged by this display, coupled with the blatant vulgarity, to the point of spitting blood. If the Dragon Race hadn't been so powerful, they would have likely already started fighting.

At this point, Yang Mei realized that this Primordial World was very down-to-earth, often featuring phrases that could be understood in modern times, such as his acquaintance from a couple of days ago, Fellow Daoist Tian Zhu...

During these ten thousand years, Hongjun hadn't been very enthusiastic about this matter.

After all, he knew everything. He would let these Transmigrators play out their roles, and he could watch the show when he had nothing else to do, a show that didn't require any rewards. Unlike those streamers who demanded you to like, comment, and subscribe, Hongjun didn't need to say "next time for sure."

Of course, during these ten thousand years, Yang Mei had fully showcased his intelligence in front of Hongjun.

It was truly touching. That's why Hongjun always greeted Yang Mei with a smile. (This smile, those who understand, understand. Some people need care.)

Although Luohu would be difficult to deal with once he grew stronger, even going now wouldn't guarantee an easy victory.

The Heavenly Dao's grand momentum hadn't arrived yet. If they forcibly attacked Luohu, would they really come out on top?

"What? Am I the Heavenly Dao's grand momentum? Fine, then I won't go."

As a Transmigrator, why not develop stealthily and earn some system rewards?

Does Yang Mei not have a system?

He doesn't, does he?

He really doesn't have a system, what era is this? Transmigrating without a system?

Hongjun almost forgot, this Yang Mei truly didn't have a system.

What a sad, sad situation, filled with tragedy. (Old joke, new context.)

"The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races have not yet gone to war, and Luohu's Immortal Execution Array Diagram is also not fully refined. Relying on the three Fellow Daoists should be enough to deal with Luohu, so I won't be going."

Hongjun smiled at the three Fellow Daoists.

"Then... uh?????"

Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Yang Mei was stunned.

He's not going?

Hongjun, you're not going???

You really know how to play!

You bastard, one word!

Brilliant!

Along with him, the other two old ancestors by his side were equally shocked.

Does this sound like something Hongjun would say?

Where is the Old Ancestor Hongjun who destroyed the Beast Emperor Shen Ni for the greater good?

"Fellow Daoist, this crusade against the Demonic Dao is for the sake of the billions of living beings in our Primordial World. We ancestors should uphold righteousness and eliminate evil. Dealing with the Mo is our undeniable duty. How can you possibly not go?"

After regaining his senses, Yang Mei asked Hongjun.

Hmph, I've seen through your scheme, Hongjun.

You're definitely trying to stall for Time. If you don't go, we won't dare to go either.

You'll just drag it out for a kalpa or two until Luohu fully develops.

He thought to himself.

Hongjun smiled and said:

"Three Fellow Daoists, forgive my bluntness, but the great trend of the Heavenly Dao has not yet arrived. If we rashly attack Luohu, I fear it will not end well."

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, your words are mistaken."

Yang Mei, however, said:

"Luohu has not yet finished refining the Immortal Execution Array Diagram. This is the best time for us to strike first. If you don't go, the three of us will go regardless."

Yang Mei sneered inwardly, Hmph, stalling for Time? Impossible.

I'll drag you down with us no matter what. If you say you're not going now, I guess you don't want to be called Fellow Daoists with us three anymore. What will you use to deal with Luohu then?

"Alright then, since all Fellow Daoists have made up your minds, I can only wish you a smooth journey."

Hongjun replied casually.

"????"

The three old ancestors were all stunned upon hearing this.

This doesn't seem to be going according to the script, does it?

And Yang Mei, why did you drag us into this?

Is it too late to regret it now?

Compared to predicting Heavenly Secrets, we trust Fellow Daoist Hongjun more, damn it!
