"Disciple Xuandu greets Master."
Xuandu bowed slightly, his voice calm.
Tongtian's eyes flashed like lightning as he sized up Xuandu.
He remained in blue robes, his face unchanged, but his aura... had become all the more unfathomable.
The Daoist charm of the Zenith Heaven was as deep and restrained as an abyss, and the Martial Dao True Meaning was as solid and condensed as a mountain. There was also a faint flow of Chaos Qi from before the World Creation, as if... his whole being had merged with some Supreme Existence!
"You..."
Tongtian's pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly remembered something:
" The Chaos Bead?"
As the three words were uttered, the Sword Intent within the palace suddenly solidified!
Xuandu nodded slowly:
"Master's eyes are like torches."
"Deep within the Blood Sea, this disciple was fortunate enough to obtain this treasure and have it recognize its master; it has already undergone initial refinement."
He paused, then added:
"This treasure can conceal the secrets of Heavenly Secret and cloud perception; even Sage... would find it difficult to discern."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian's eyes widened in even greater shock!
Concealing Heavenly Secret, obscuring perception... even Sage find it difficult to discern?
No wonder!
No wonder Xuandu sneak into the Biyou Palace so silently!
With such a supreme treasure in hand, where in this Great Wilderness cannot one go?
Even the Purple Heaven Palace... I'm afraid I could make a trip there!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Tongtian clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"With this treasure protecting you, you'll have a greater chance of survival during this great calamity!"
He looked at Xuandu, his eyes filled with satisfaction:
"It seems the journey to the Blood Sea has yielded far more This Master anticipated."
Xuandu nodded slightly, but then changed the subject:
"Master, I have come here for two matters."
Tongtian's smile vanished, and his expression turned solemn.
"Speak."
"Firstly, the matter of the Witch Clan."
Xuandu spoke calmly, recounting in detail the transactions he had made with the Eleven Ancestral Witches in the Pangu Hall.
The Witch Clan Warriors joined the Interception Sect, and during the final battle, they launched a sudden attack, catching the demon race and Yuanshi off guard...
His words resounded like thunder in the depths of Tongtian's mind!
He suddenly stood up, and the Azure Qingping Sword Intent surged around him:
"You want to have the Witch Clan suddenly join the Interception Sect during the final battle?!"
"Exactly."
Xuandu's gaze sharpened.
"By then, the decisive battle will have begun, the Heavenly Secret secrets will be in chaos, and the Calamity Qi will be at its strongest, making it difficult even for Sage to concentrate on divination."
"With the sudden entry of the Witch Clan, I can seize the opportunity to disrupt the Demon Clan's plans and reverse the tide of battle."
"Furthermore, this can be used... to settle scores with Yuanshi!"
Upon hearing Tongtian, Tongtian remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded:
"This plan is feasible."
His gaze swept towards Buzhou Mountain, his eyes gleaming with Sword Intent.
"Although the Witch Clan is arrogant, the continuation of their bloodline is fundamental."
"Since they are willing to trade, our Interception Sect... will naturally accept."
"But..."
Tongtian changed the subject and looked at Xuandu:
"After joining the sect, the Witch Clan Warriors must abide by the rules and Jie Sect's Teachings Interception Sect."
"If anyone disobeys... he will show no mercy under the Immortal-Slaying Sword."
The last eight characters, like ice falling to the ground, exude an undeniable Killing Aura!
Xuandu nodded emphatically:
"Disciple understands."
"The matter concerning the Witch Clan shall be handled according to this plan."
He paused, his voice turning deep:
Secondly... the affairs of the Saints.
As the four words were uttered, the atmosphere Biyou Palace suddenly froze.
Tongtian's gaze suddenly turned cold:
" Yuanshi?"
"More than."
Xuandu slowly shook his head, his gaze piercing through the palace, sweeping across Kunlun Mountain, Western Mount Sumeru, Shouyang Mountain, and the Wa Huang Palace Outside Thirty-Three Heavens:
" Yuanshi personally went to the Demon Court to instigate the final battle, intending to eliminate me during the Great Calamity."
" Jieyin Zhunti the fortunes of the East, intending to use the great calamity to snatch chestnuts from the fire."
" Nuwa has fallen from her holy position and her Dao Foundation has been damaged. She hates me to the bone and will surely seek revenge when the opportunity arises."
"Although Laozi has fallen into seclusion, the abolition of the Human Sect and the sharp drop in his cultivation level mean he will never forget this grudge."
Each word, like a veil, dismantles the surface of the Great Wilderness, revealing the surging, murderous intent beneath!
Tongtian's face was ashen, and his hands slowly clenched into fists hidden in his sleeves.
" The Five Saints... all want to get rid of you as soon as possible?"
"Good."
Xuandu nodded calmly:
"My Hunyuan Dao is destined to be opposed to that of the Heavenly Dao Sage."
"My awakening of humanity has accelerated the revival of the Earth Dao, further shaking the Xuanmen Foundation and impacting the interests of Saints."
"During the great calamity, the Heavenly Secret are in chaos, Karma Entanglement, which is the best time for them to make their move."
He looked at Tongtian, his voice calm yet firm:
"Master, this great calamity... is likely not as simple as the Witch-Demon War."
"It was a trap set up by Saints working together."
"And I am the primary enemy in this situation."
After the words were spoken, a deathly silence fell over Biyou Palace.
Only the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords resonated faintly deep within the palace, their Sword Intent soaring to the heavens, exuding an indomitable Killing Aura.
Tongtian remained silent for a long time before slowly raising his eyes.
The Sword Light in his eyes shone like a galaxy, reflecting Xuandu's calm yet resolute face.
Are you scared?
He suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Xuandu's lips slowly curled into a smile.
The smile was faint, yet it conveyed a domineering air of superiority and arrogance!
"Afraid?"
He slowly shook his head:
"The way of a disciple is the Path of Transcendence, going against the will of Heaven, inherently contending with Heaven, with Earth, and with humanity."
" Those Saints who wish to obstruct my Dao Path are my enemies."
"Since they are enemies... why should we fear them?"
The sound was calm, yet every word was resounding, like metal striking stone, shaking the palace!
Upon hearing this, Tongtian clapped his hands and laughed loudly:
"Excellent! As expected of my Tongtian's disciple!"
The laughter was hearty, filled with undisguised pride and determination!
He abruptly stood up, his blue robes fluttering, his black hair dancing wildly, his gaze sweeping across the four Heavenly Domain like lightning:
"If that's the case..."
"Then This Master will accompany you... to confront this deadly trap of the Saints!"
The sound waves were like swords, tearing through the sky.
" The Immortal-Slaying Four Swords!"
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Four earth-shattering sword cries erupted from the depths of the Biyou Palace!
Immortal-Slaying, Immortal-Execution, Trapping Immortal, Absolute Immortal!
Four swords were drawn simultaneously, suspended in the four directions of the palace. The Sword Intent descended as if it were a tangible force, weaving together to form a terrifying Sword Net that covered the entire Golden Ao Island!
Within the Sword Net, the Killing Aura soared to the sky, further amplified by the will of the Sage Tongtian Hunyuan, completely enveloping the entire Immortal Island!
The voice that Tongtian was icy cold, like Eternal Ice.
" The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is fully activated, isolating the inside from the outside and suppressing the destiny!"
"All Jie Sect Disciples must cultivate on the island to prepare for the Great Tribulation!"
"On the day of the decisive battle... follow me... and break through the killing trap Saints!"
The roar was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Golden Ao Island!
Duobao Peak, Golden Ao Peak, Three Immortal Islands, Luofu Cave...
All the Jie Sect Disciples felt a sense of unease and looked up in unison toward the direction of the Biyou Palace.
There was no longer a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Only the will to fight!
An unprecedented fighting spirit!
"I will obey Master's decree!"
"I will obey the Vice Sect Master's orders!"
The sound waves surged like a tide, the Blood Qi Like a Dragon, and the Martial Dao True Meaning soared into the sky, faintly resonating with the killing Sword Qi of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!
The Jie Sect Myriad Immortals are now filled with fighting spirit!
Xuandu stood beside Tongtian, his blue robes fluttering slightly, his gaze calmly observing the scene.
He slowly raised his hand, and the illusory image of the Chaos Bead quietly appeared in his palm.
The pearl shimmered with light, and forty-nine Chaos Restriction appeared and disappeared.
"Master."
Xuandu spoke in a low voice:
"The final battle will begin in three days."
"This disciple... must go ahead."
Tongtian's gaze narrowed slightly.
Where to go?
Buzhou Mountain.
Xuandu gazed at the towering mountain range in the center of Great Wilderness primordial wilderness:
"Although the Witch Clan has already made a plan, ultimately someone needs to be in charge and oversee the overall situation."
"More importantly..."
He paused, Chaos Radiance flickering in his eyes:
"I want to see with my own eyes what kind of deadly trap Yuanshi has laid out."
Tongtian remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded:
Be careful in everything you do.
"If things cannot be accomplished... then return to Golden Ao Island."
"Even if the Four Sages arrive together beneath the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation... your This Master can still protect you!"
The last sentence was resolute and left no room for doubt!
Xuandu felt a warmth in his heart and bowed respectfully.
"Disciple... understands."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thought flickered in his mind.
Deep within the Purple Mansion between the eyebrows, the Chaos Bead shimmers with radiant light.
An invisible, Chaos Fluctuation once again enveloped his body, completely concealing his aura, Daoist charm, and even his very presence.
"Buzz..."
The void rippled silently.
The That Green Clad Figure slowly faded away, like a reflection in water.
Ultimately, it completely disappeared from the Biyou Palace.
Tongtian stood alone atop the palace, gazing in the direction where Xuandu had vanished, remaining motionless for a long time.
His hands, hidden in his sleeves, slowly clenched into fists.
The Qingping Sword Intent circulated throughout his body, resonating with the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords, evolving into endless killing phenomena.
" Yuanshi... Jieyin Zhunti... Nuwa... Laozi..."
He whispered a name, each word icy cold:
"You intend to plot a murder to eliminate my disciple..."
"Then let me see..."
"Is this Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation... effective?"
The sound was not loud, but it carried the supreme majesty of the Hunyuan Sage, quietly echoing throughout the entire Golden Ao Island.
The Immortal-Slaying Four Swords hummed and trembled, their Sword Light soaring into the sky and illuminating all heavens!
