Before the Sermon Was Even Finished, the Ancestor Witches All Became Saints: A Lack of Efficiency

He was actually extremely puzzled inside. Was the efficiency really this low?

Were this bunch of mighty figures all snails?

It had been so long; even a snail would have crawled here by now.

What on earth were these people good for?

Time was money; could they please speed it up a bit?

After finishing this single transaction, they still had to go and take on the next one.

Time ticked away bit by bit amidst the anxiety of the mighty figures outside the palace and the impatience of Li Hao inside.

Seeing that there was less than a year left before Hongjun started his lecture.

Yaochi finally snapped out of it.

Looking at the mighty figures before her, along with that already vanished figure.

Yaochi was suddenly startled, and reaching out, she gave a push to Haotian, who was still in a daze.

She hurriedly offered a charming smile to the mighty figures and led everyone into Purple Heaven Palace.

Catching sight of that figure from afar, Yaochi felt as though her breath was restricted, her heartbeat accelerated, and she couldn't catch her breath.

Seeing this, how could the mighty figures still care about being led?

They all moved forward on their own, finding front-row seats and sitting down.

Although it was somewhat unbefitting of etiquette, there was no help for it.

They hadn't waited a little bit earlier; it had been around a hundred years, after all.

Stick to etiquette? What if this little girl froze the hell up again?

They were here to listen to the Dao, not to watch a young maiden's spring-like fancies which were always poetic!

The mighty figures all took action. For matters like listening to the Dao, naturally, the closer the distance, the greater the benefits.

This was something everyone knew.

Although each of them held themselves in high regard, they also knew their own limits.

Thus, many people did not continue forward, but instead chose a seat nearby and sat down.

It wasn't that they didn't want to vie for them; it was that they couldn't.

If they really ended up arguing over seat-grabbing, and yet they couldn't beat the people who came to fight for the seats.

Normally that would be one thing, but with so many people here talking at once, if something like this happened again, it would be far too shameful.

Therefore, the seats they chose at this moment basically matched the tier of their status and strength.

There were truly quite a few people with this kind of thought, and it even included the Three Pure Ones.

The strength of these three was indeed at the very top of the Primordial Era.

However... those first six Crimson Purple Cushions that looked extraordinary at the very front had been occupied by that gang of robbers.

Last time, they had almost been completely wrecked.

Were they going to go up there again this time?

Did they only remember the pain and forget the beatings?

The crucial point was, what if they lost face? How would they mix in the Primordial Era from then on?

The three stood in the second row, hesitating and unable to make up their minds.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones hesitating over there and refusing to come over.

Li Hao was dumbfounded!

There were seats for them right here, and it was fine for them not to come over?

If they really didn't come, how was he supposed to shake them down... rob them... ahem, get things?

Thinking of this, Li Hao suddenly realized.

Damn it!

The Three Pure Ones didn't seem to have any treasures left, did they?

They were also just starting out, and most of their treasures came from the Treasure Distribution Rock?

What should he do? Wasn't this a losing deal?

What to do? What to do?

Li Hao's brain spun at high speed.

Should he just let them have the seats?

Even when raising pigs, one had to feed them good fodder, right?

Raise them first, and when they grew fat, it would be time to harvest another crop of leeks, wouldn't it?

Yeah, that's what he would do!

With his thoughts clear, Li Hao waved at the Three Pure Ones.

The three didn't react, or rather, they didn't dare to think he was waving at them.

Helpless, Li Hao could only wave again.

The Three Pure Ones were also baffled. What kind of person was this?

Daring to ignore that robber's summons? Were they tired of living?

They all looked left and right, wanting to see which brave soul it was.

Yet, after looking and looking, they still didn't see anyone there?

The three were utterly bewildered.

Li Hao was speechless to the extreme. What are you looking at? I'm talking about the three of you!

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian were momentarily stunned!

Incredulous, they raised a finger to point at their own noses, and the expressions on their faces could not have been more bizarre.

Li Hao nodded, waved his hand again, and signaled for the three to come over.

You couldn't really blame them for acting this way; these three brothers certainly didn't think that any good could come from the robber Li Hao looking for them.

For all they knew, he might even be plotting against them.

Reluctant and helpless as they were, the three had no choice in the matter.

In the end, they could only walk over, feeling unwilling and resentful.

Arriving close by.

Yuanshi snorted, his nose not looking like a nose and his eyes not looking like eyes. "You shameless little thief, what do you want with the likes of us?"

Li Hao paid no mind to this, his face full of smiles.

"We arrived rather early and occupied quite a few good spots."

"Alas, something suddenly came up within our tribe, forcing us to leave and unable to listen to the Dao, yet we were unwilling to let others take advantage of the hard work we put into occupying them."

"Considering that we all share the same origin, we'll cede three positions to you!"

Looking entirely unconvinced, Yuanshi asked suspiciously, "Will you be that kind-hearted? I don't believe it!"

Li Hao waved his hand.

"Look at you saying that. We share the same origin, so we're bound by blood at the very least. How could I possibly screw you over?"

Upon hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi rolled their eyes unceasingly.

Listen to that!

Listen to him!

Was this kind of talk still coming from a human?

Bound by blood? Not screwing them over?

From Divine Powers to Magic Treasures.

Had he screwed them over any less?

Tongtian had been unconscious at the time and didn't know the inside story, so he didn't feel anything strange.

Instead, he appeared somewhat touched.

Diese Ancestor Witches weren't as barbaric, cruel, and shameless as Elder Brother and Second Brother had said, were they?

Far from being savage, brutal, or shameless.

On the contrary, they were very polite, affectionate, and righteous.

Elder Brother and Second Brother definitely had some kind of misunderstanding about them.

This wouldn't do; he definitely had to persuade them another day.

Despite minor conflicts having broken out due to fighting over treasures.

The Ancestor Witches were still our brothers of the same origin, after all.

Besides, it was they who were in the wrong first, rushing into someone else's territory to snatch treasures; it was indefensible either way.

Seeing Tongtian display an expression different from the others.

Greatly overjoyed inside, Li Hao grabbed Tongtian by the arm and immediately started cozying up to him.

"Brother Tongtian, look at your two elder brothers."

"We are all brothers of the same origin, and even when we have to leave, we still have them on our minds."

"They... they actually suspect us. This breaks our hearts entirely."
