You Disappoint Me Too Much! Wangshu: At Worst, We'll Sink the Primordial World!

"Demon Emperor, calm down!"

"Lingxiao was personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun as the Easternmost Qinghua Emperor. If this old man were to suppress him without authorization, I would surely suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao's fortune—and Zhenyuanzi, Daoist Hongyun, and the others would bear a grudge against the Phoenix Clan."

"Lingxiao is merely a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Why not just teach him a lesson...?"

Yanchi wore a fiery red Daoist robe, flames seeming to dance within his eyes. They revealed both cunning and the depth of an old schemer. He was unwilling to bury the future of the Golden-Winged Great Roc and the Phoenix Clan for Qiushou Immortal and Spirit Fang Immortal.

At those words, the Golden-Winged Great Roc's face turned livid.

"Calm down?"

"My two senior brothers were slain by Lingxiao over some laughable excuse. They do not even have a chance to enter reincarnation—how am I supposed to calm down?"

His fury boiled over, his Dao voice booming.

Qiushou Immortal and Spirit Fang Immortal were both Lord Tongtian's attendant disciples, as well as his personal disciples.

If the Golden-Winged Great Roc remained unmoved, he would certainly leave a poor impression in Lord Tongtian's heart. Moreover, he knew that this Heavenly Dao Saint had long since turned his attention here.

As a disciple of the Interception Sect, the Golden-Winged Great Roc had to make his stance clear!

At this moment.

Holy Mother Wudang looked toward Lingxiao.

Her features were dignified and steady, carrying an air of authority. She wore a green Daoist robe, a lotus crown upon her head, and held a whisk in her hand. Beneath her aura lay concealed, razor-sharp killing intent.

Her willow brows stood upright and her beautiful eyes widened as Holy Mother Wudang angrily shouted, "Qiushou Immortal and Spirit Fang Immortal are Master's personal disciples. Even if their sins were grave and they slaughtered the human race, Master should be the one to deal with them—not you, pointing fingers here and exterminating them completely."

"Lingxiao, how had I never noticed before that you were so ruthless and vicious? Now you have even learned to collude with these scum of the Western Sect, joining hands with them to offend the majesty of our Interception Sect. You disappoint me too much!"

Her brows were tightly furrowed, disappointment and fury mingling in her eyes. The corners of her lips dipped slightly, as though she harbored the deep resentment and heartache of one who had been betrayed.

Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought Lingxiao had done something to Holy Mother Wudang.

Beside her, Holy Mother Turtle Spirit took the opportunity to chime in. "Lingxiao, you hypocrite! The Dao injuries you suffered while sorting out the Interception Sect's fortune were likely all part of a performance you staged yourself. Your ultimate goal was to leave the Interception Sect."

"Otherwise, why were you able to reconstruct your innate foundation and even join the Heavenly Court? From beginning to end, this was all a trap you set—to test our attitudes before severing ties with the Interception Sect."

"If you are willing to surrender without resistance and kneel before Lion Camel Ridge to atone for your sins, I will plead with Master to spare your life..."

In an instant!

Holy Mother Wudang, Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, and the others took turns berating and suppressing Lingxiao.

Unfortunately, Lingxiao was no longer impressed by such tricks.

"Have you said enough?"

"You defy the Heavenly Dao and violate the Heavenly Court's celestial laws. If you remain stubbornly unrepentant, do not blame this Daoist for showing no mercy!"

Lingxiao's gaze sharpened, and he swept out the Godslaying Spear.

Boundless Nine Nether Demon Fire and killing power, carrying the laws of heaven and earth, crashed down upon them. In an instant, they were sent flying backward.

"Lingxiao, you brought this upon yourself!"

Holy Mother Wudang snorted coldly, then turned her gaze toward Yanchi.

Her meaning needed no further explanation!

"Yanchi Ancestor, do not make this Emperor urge you again!"

"Suppress Lingxiao, and one of the supreme-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures on him will be yours!"

The Golden-Winged Great Roc glared at Yanchi, gritting his teeth.

Though he had led the Phoenix Clan back into the world, his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. When facing these Phoenix Clan ancestors, his orders were not as unquestioningly obeyed as he had imagined.

He wanted Yanchi to attack Lingxiao because he harbored a measure of psychological fear toward him. He knew what kind of power Lingxiao would wield once he fully invoked the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Only a quasi-saint could completely suppress Lingxiao.

"This one obeys the Demon Emperor's decree!"

A greedy gleam flashed across Yanchi's face as he stepped forward directly.

If he could obtain a supreme-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, he could sever one of his three corpses and become a mighty figure at the middle stage of the quasi-saint realm, then protect the Phoenix Clan.

At that time, his status would be second only to the Golden-Winged Great Roc and Kong Xuan. He might even lead the Phoenix Clan and restore the glory it possessed during the Dragon-Han First Calamity.

"Lingxiao, will you still not admit your mistake?"

"Immortal Zhenyuan and Daoist Hongyun had long ago made an agreement with Master and Martial Aunt Nuwa. They will absolutely not interfere in your affairs. Now, you have no other choice!"

"If you do not wish to die, then lower your head!"

Holy Mother Golden Spirit parted her red lips slightly and spoke coldly to Lingxiao.

Lingxiao was only at the middle stage of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Realm. Even with treasures such as the Godslaying Spear and the World-Destroying Black Lotus protecting him, he could at most contend against an early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Before a quasi-saint mighty figure, he could not stir up any waves.

In Holy Mother Golden Spirit's eyes, Lingxiao had only one path before him: lower his head and submit to them!

"Noise."

Lingxiao did not even spare Holy Mother Golden Spirit a proper glance, casually uttering two words.

His gaze burned bright, his chest held high.

The Godslaying Spear erupted with a blood-red radiance, while the World-Destroying Black Lotus flickered with Nirvana Demonic Light.

Qiushou Immortal and Spirit Fang Immortal—their crimes were beyond forgiveness.

Golden-Winged Great Roc had Kong Xuan as his elder brother, and he was currently still the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court. It was not that Lingxiao dared not kill him, but that Lingxiao had other plans.

As for Holy Mother Wudang and the others, Lingxiao could not be bothered with them.

Thus, Lingxiao could only turn his spearhead toward Yan Chi—or rather, toward the great powers of the Demon Court.

"Lingxiao, kneel before this old man!"

Yan Chi looked down at Lingxiao, a smile curling across his lips. The aura of an early-stage Quasi-Saint transformed into a raging storm, then into world-destroying blazing flames that bore down on Lingxiao.

Space shattered as earth, fire, wind, and water evolved.

That vast and formidable aura made the land for hundreds of millions of miles around Lion Camel Ridge tremble.

"Pfft!"

Lingxiao's face went pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This sight left Yan Chi dumbfounded.

"This old man's aura has not even fully erupted. How could he fail to withstand it?"

Yet in the very next instant, Yan Chi saw the meaningful smile on Lingxiao's face. A chill abruptly sprang up along his spine, then surged into his chest and Primordial Spirit.

"The Phoenix Clan defies the Heavenly Dao and plotted against the Heavenly Emperor. Their crime warrants extermination, to serve as a warning to others!"

"Yan Chi, you are dead!"

Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha was quick-witted and the first to see through the intent behind Lingxiao's smile.

He mobilized the divine power throughout his body and let out a thunderous shout toward the heavens.

"Boom!"

Sun and moon lost their light; heaven and earth darkened.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment suddenly appeared. Lightning intertwined and coiled as it locked onto Yan Chi.

Karmic cause and sin descended upon Yan Chi.

And that was not all!

The Heavenly Dao shackles that had already vanished from Yan Chi's body were now continuously reforming. Even the other living beings of the Phoenix Clan within Southern Brightness Volcano were unable to escape!

"Lingxiao, you brat, you plotted against this old man!"

Yan Chi's heart trembled with terror as he pointed at Lingxiao and cried out in fear.

With the fortune of the Demon Court, the Phoenix Clan had cleansed away its karmic sin and cause-and-effect. Yet because of his momentary carelessness, such a catastrophe had now been brought about.

Beyond fear, Yan Chi's mind was filled with countless doubts.

Why would the Heavenly Dao inflict such cruel punishment merely because he had made a move against Lingxiao?

"During the Dragon-Han First Calamity, the three clans fought in a chaotic war, creating slaughterous karma and boundless sin!"

"Hongjun Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao showed mercy, allowing the Phoenix Clan to suppress Southern Brightness Volcano and atone for their sins. Yet now, relying on the Demon Court, the Phoenix Clan seeks to repeat its mistakes. This is defiance of the Heavenly Dao and betrayal of the Dao Ancestor's grace!"

"This poor Daoist follows Heaven and answers the Dao, protecting all living beings. How could I allow the Phoenix Clan to run wild?"

Lingxiao spoke slowly to Yan Chi, calm as drifting clouds and gentle winds.

His words were deafening!

Other than Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha, who had anticipated it, everyone present stood frozen like wooden chickens. Golden-Winged Great Roc and Kong Xuan in particular wore expressions of venomous hatred.

Lingxiao was cutting off the Phoenix Clan's sole hope!

"You cannot do this. Those Phoenix Clan beings are innocent."

Holy Mother Wudang came back to her senses, her face filled with panic and unease.

"Heh heh..."

"The sins committed by Yuanfeng and the Phoenix Clan's ancestors were enough for the Heavenly Dao to erase the Phoenix Clan completely. The fact that the Phoenix Clan still remains in this world is already the Heavenly Dao's compassion toward them."

"In this poor Daoist's view, the human beings devoured and brutalized by Golden-Winged Great Roc and the others are the truly innocent ones..."

Lingxiao let out a cold laugh. His words carried rolling thunder, intimidating Holy Mother Wudang into speechlessness. Her expression remained unsettled for a long while.

The Phoenix Clan only needed to calm the restless fire veins while suppressing Southern Brightness Volcano.

Yet the Dragon Clan had to fill the springs of the Eastern Sea with their lives, while the Qilin Clan had transformed into auspicious beasts of the Primordial World, their entire race nearly destroyed.

It could be said that among the three clans, the Phoenix Clan had received the best outcome!

Yet Yan Chi and the others did not know how to cherish it!

"The Demon Court defies the Heavenly Dao and indulged Yan Chi in attempting to murder the Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor. This palace shares a Daoist companion's bond with Lingxiao, and today I have come to Phoenix Perch Mountain to demand an explanation from the Demon Court!"

"If not, then at worst, I shall sink the great land of the Primordial World..."

Wangshu's voice echoed over Phoenix Perch Mountain before spreading throughout the Primordial World.

Peerlessly elegant, she wielded the Great Dao of Taiyin.

Above the clouds, Lingxiao, who had witnessed this scene, revealed a profound gleam in his eyes.

The real show was only just beginning!
