Manjushri and Samantabhadra's Shock, Yuanshi Tianzun Descends Upon the Eight Views Palace!

Chentang Pass Commander's Guest Hall!

Manjushri and Samantabhadra listened to Li Jing's unequivocal reply.

In an instant, both Manjushri and Samantabhadra felt their hearts turn cold.

Who was Great Immortal Yang Mei? Manjushri and Samantabhadra knew very well.

Great Immortal Yang Mei was an existence even more terrifying and powerful than their grandmaster, Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

It could be said that even their grandmaster, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, would not dare go looking for Great Immortal Yang Mei!

After all, Great Immortal Yang Mei's reputation in the Primordial World was simply too great.

Great Immortal Yang Mei was one of the few Chaos Fiendgods who had survived the Heaven-Opening Tribulation.

Moreover, Great Immortal Yang Mei was the Space Fiendgod, a terrifying existence ranked among the top five of the three thousand Great Dao Fiendgods.

Looking at Manjushri and Samantabhadra, Li Jing said without changing expression, "My two fellow Daoists, I truly had no choice."

"From the moment that middle-aged man arrived, he displayed terrifying strength and methods."

"If I had not agreed to his demands, I fear that everyone in the Commander's Residence would have died."

"Therefore, I ask that you two fellow Daoists be understanding!"

After hearing this, Manjushri and Samantabhadra said gravely, "Commander Li, we understand your circumstances."

Then, Manjushri and Samantabhadra cupped their hands toward Li Jing in salute. "Since that is the case, Commander Li, we shall take our leave."

Li Jing said, "My two fellow Daoists, won't you stay a while before leaving?"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra both shook their heads. "No. Commander Li, we have important matters to report to our master."

"We shall take our leave!"

With that, Manjushri and Samantabhadra headed out of the Commander's Residence.

Li Jing followed Manjushri and Samantabhadra out of the hall.

Outside the main hall of the Commander's Residence, Manjushri and Samantabhadra cupped their hands and said, "Commander Li, we shall take our leave!"

With that, two flashes of light streaked forth, and Manjushri and Samantabhadra vanished directly into the void.

After Manjushri and Samantabhadra left, Li Jing returned to the guest hall.

At that moment, Yin Shiniang entered the hall from outside.

Looking at Li Jing, Yin Shiniang asked, "Brother Jing, why did Manjushri and Samantabhadra leave?"

Li Jing replied, "They came looking for Jin Zha and Mu Zha."

"When they saw that Jin Zha and Mu Zha were not here, they took their leave."

Yin Shiniang nodded.

At the same time, Manjushri and Samantabhadra stood in the void, their powerful Primordial Spirits blanketing all of Chentang Pass.

Even after searching for a long time, the powerful Primordial Spirits of Manjushri and Samantabhadra failed to find the slightest trace of Jin Zha or Mu Zha.

At this moment, Manjushri and Samantabhadra finally believed that Jin Zha and Mu Zha had already left.

In the void, Samantabhadra said, "Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

Manjushri said, "Junior Brother Samantabhadra, at this point, we can only return to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and report this matter to Master."

Samantabhadra said, "Yes, this matter has far exceeded the limits of our abilities."

"Therefore, we can only report it to Master!"

Manjushri said, "Let us go, Junior Brother Samantabhadra. We must quickly return to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain!"

Samantabhadra nodded.

Then, Manjushri and Samantabhadra directly fled through the void and departed.

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

When Manjushri and Samantabhadra returned to the Jade Void Palace and told Yuanshi Tianzun everything, Yuanshi Tianzun said in shock, "Manjushri, Samantabhadra, what did you say???"

"Jin Zha and Mu Zha were taken away by Great Immortal Yang Mei???"

"Are you certain?"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra said, "Master, Commander Li Jing of Chentang Pass said so himself!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun fell into thought.

A moment later, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Manjushri, Samantabhadra, is it possible that Li Jing deceived you in order to prevent you from taking Jin Zha and Mu Zha away?"

"Who is Great Immortal Yang Mei? A terrifying existence ranked among the top five of the three thousand Great Dao Fiendgods!"

"Even your grandmaster, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, would not dare claim certain victory against Great Immortal Yang Mei."

For a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun felt that Li Jing must have deceived Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Manjushri, Samantabhadra, did the two of you search Chentang Pass with your Primordial Spirits?"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra said, "Master, we carefully used our Primordial Spirits to scan the entirety of Chentang Pass."

"We found not the slightest trace of Jin Zha or Mu Zha!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Then where do you think Jin Zha and Mu Zha went?"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra said, "Master, this disciple believes Li Jing may not have been lying. What he said may be true!"

"After all, this is the time of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Anything is possible!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "It is also possible that an expert of the Interception Sect took Jin Zha and Mu Zha away in advance as disciples."

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra said, "Master, then what should we do?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Manjushri, Samantabhadra, return to your respective abodes first."

"Your master will make a trip to First Sun Mountain. I will notify you afterward."

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra nodded. "Yes, Master!"

Immediately, Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun, then left Jade Void Palace directly.

After Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra departed, Yuanshi Tianzun's figure flashed, and he vanished from Jade Void Palace.

At Eight Views Palace on First Sun Mountain, the Supreme Purity Sage was explaining the profound mysteries of the Primordial Unity to Xuan Du.

Just then, the Supreme Purity Sage suddenly raised his head and looked outside Eight Views Palace.

Xuan Du asked in confusion, "Master, what is it?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Xuan Du, your Second Martial Uncle has arrived."

At once, the Supreme Purity Sage and Master Xuan Du rose to their feet and walked outside Eight Views Palace.

Outside Eight Views Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun saw the Supreme Purity Sage and Master Xuan Du emerge.

Yuanshi Tianzun cupped his hands in greeting. "Eldest Senior Brother!"

The Supreme Purity Sage returned the salute. "Junior Brother Yuanshi, why have you come?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Eldest Senior Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother Yuanshi, let us speak inside."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun followed the Supreme Purity Sage into Eight Views Palace.

After both sides had taken their seats.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you think Great Immortal Yang Mei might appear in the Primordial World?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said in surprise, "Junior Brother Yuanshi, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Eldest Senior Brother, you do not know the full story."

"I sent my disciples Manjushri and Samantabhadra, following the Heavenly Dao's guidance, to the Commander-in-Chief's Residence at Chentang Pass to take Li Jing's eldest son Jin Zha and second son Mu Zha as disciples."

"Who would have thought that Li Jing told Manjushri and Samantabhadra that Great Immortal Yang Mei had taken Jin Zha and Mu Zha away beforehand?"

"Eldest Senior Brother, do you think this is true?"

After pondering for a moment, the Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother, I believe Li Jing deceived Manjushri and Samantabhadra."

Yuanshi Tianzun asked doubtfully, "Eldest Senior Brother, what makes you say that?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother, think about it. What sort of terrifying existence is Great Immortal Yang Mei?"

"During the Heaven-Opening Tribulation, Great Immortal Yang Mei, the Qiankun Demon God Wuji, the Yin-Yang Demon God, and several others narrowly escaped calamity."

"According to the Dao Ancestor, after Great Immortal Yang Mei was defeated and fled, he left the Primordial World!"

"Now, news of Great Immortal Yang Mei has suddenly surfaced in the Primordial World. Junior Brother, do you think it could be true?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun fell into deep thought.
