Conspiracy

"Taiqing, I don't agree with what you said either!!"

"The Demon Court has developed exactly as Heavenly Dao Hongjun taught, without the slightest deviation."

"The problem now does not lie with our Demon Court, but with you!!"

Nuwa, too, began accusing Taiqing Saint without the slightest courtesy.

"Heavenly Dao Hongjun has issued a decree!!"

Seeing the three Sages turning their spearheads toward the Three Pure Ones,

Taiqing Saint had no choice but to bring out Heavenly Dao Hongjun's decree.

Countless golden characters appeared in the void.

Their general meaning was that Heavenly Dao was busy at present and could not spare the time, so they must resolve the matter of the Immeasurable Tribulation as quickly as possible.

Especially now, with the Dual Immeasurable Tribulation, the impact on Heavenly Dao was particularly great.

"Since everyone knows that the root of the problem is the Witch Clan, doesn't that make this simple?"

With Heavenly Dao Hongjun issuing another decree, they, as disciples, no longer dared to argue.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhunti diverted the floodwaters of disaster toward the Witch Clan.

His two visits to Pangu Hall had both caused him no small amount of suffering.

However.

Only Zhunti and Jieyin themselves knew about this matter.

So he wanted the other Sages to taste this loss as well.

"Zhunti, you certainly talk big. Why don't I see you inviting the Witch Clan out?"

Nuwa sneered.

A dignified Sage could not even summon a mere Witch Clan.

The Three Pure Ones said nothing.

After all, they had never told the others what exactly had happened.

And Zhunti?

He had fought outside Pangu Hall for three years, losing all face.

Yet now he still dared to spout such grandiose nonsense here.

With such a fine opportunity in her grasp, how could Nuwa possibly let it pass?

"If they won't come out, can't we take the initiative and go to them?"

Zhunti remained calm and composed, though he had long since formed a plan in his heart.

"What do you mean?"

"Zhunti, make yourself clear."

Yuanshi cared most about face.

If they had not both been Pangu Orthodoxy—

one inheriting the Primordial Spirit, the other obtaining the fleshly body—

Yuanshi would have charged into Pangu Hall long ago.

But in the end, Yuanshi still swallowed his anger, and so he remained deeply dissatisfied even now.

Fortunately, the Witch Clan had some backbone.

When the Western Sect came knocking, they had not emerged.

Otherwise,

they would have thoroughly slapped the Three Pure Ones across the face.

"We are dignified Sages. Could it be that we must personally act and force them out?"

Nuwa cast Zhunti a sidelong glance.

Damn Western monks. If you hadn't barged in and meddled, all that lies under Heaven and above earth would already belong to my Demon Court.

"Of course not us."

"As the saying goes, whoever tied the bell must untie it."

Zhunti smiled mysteriously.

As for Nuwa's suggestion, he actually very much wanted to say yes.

After all, both Western Two Saints had gone inside and gained no advantage whatsoever.

If he had not wanted revenge, he would have long since revealed the horrors of Pangu Hall and the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

The reason he had kept silent was that he wanted them to experience it for themselves as well.

The shadow of being dominated by Pangu.

"Zhunti, if you have something to say, then spit it out."

Tongtian remained silent, while Taiqing's eyes continuously opened and closed.

Instead, Yuanshi was unusually impatient.

Under the Dual Immeasurable Tribulation, when the nest was overturned, how could any egg remain unbroken?

The Twelve Golden Immortals beneath him were all disciples whose foundations and talents he greatly cherished.

They had originally cultivated within Kunlun Mountain, and nothing much had happened.

But Northern Darkness and the Underworld had launched an assault back then, nearly exterminating the Human Race.

With no other choice, both the Expounding Sect and the Intercepting Sect had sent disciples into the Eastern Primordial Wilderness.

That assistance had continued until the present Dual Immeasurable Tribulation.

Once they had entered the game, how could they simply leave whenever they pleased?

Thus, he now dearly hoped that the Witch Clan would emerge from Pangu Hall as soon as possible and comply with this heaven-and-earth Immeasurable Tribulation.

"The Primordial Wilderness is now riddled with scars, yet the Immeasurable Tribulation has not receded; it has instead grown stronger."

"Under the Dual Immeasurable Tribulation, no living being can escape unscathed."

"The West speaks of compassion. If Fellow Daoist Zhunti has any good method, then hurry and speak of it!!"

Tongtian was actually very anxious as well.

After all, he had more disciples than Yuanshi.

Moreover, he taught without distinction. Though the disciples under him were helping the Human Race, Calamity Qi had long since coiled around their bodies.

Now that even Yuanshi was so nervous, how could he not be?

"What good words could he possibly have? If he had any, he would have said them long ago."

Nuwa was indeed formed from innate origin yin qi; even her speech was dripping with sarcasm.

"Zhunti, reveal your plan."

"After all, this matter concerns Teacher Hongjun, so it would be best to discuss it with all our fellow brothers and sisters."

Jieyin spoke softly.

Yet with a single sentence, he trampled Nuwa directly beneath his feet.

"Yes, Senior Brother!!"

Not giving Nuwa a chance to speak, Zhunti laid out his plan.

"What???"

The instant Nuwa heard this plan, her fur bristled.

"What a vicious scheme. But if we do this, how will we explain ourselves to Heavenly Dao Hongjun?"

Even Yuanshi was looking at Zhunti strangely now.

"Those who accomplish great things do not fuss over trifles."

"If this plan can eliminate the Immeasurable Tribulation, I trust Heavenly Dao Hongjun will approve as well."

As Zhunti spoke, he looked toward Taiqing High Person, leader of the Three Pure Ones.

"This plan can succeed!!"

"However, before the matter is accomplished, none of the Sages may leave this place!!"

Tongtian frowned upon hearing this plan.

But Taiqing immediately made the final decision.

At the same time, he declared

that none of the Sages could leave Taiqing Heaven.

The Sages also had their own forces below. If word leaked out, how could they eliminate the Immeasurable Tribulation?

Demon Court.

"I never expected those three old fellows to be so terrifyingly powerful!!"

One battle had lasted for decades, even centuries.

Even Di Jun and Tai Yi showed slight fatigue on their faces after such high-intensity combat.

Di Jun in particular.

While fighting the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors, he had calculated with the River Diagram and Luo Writing until sparks nearly flew from them.

Yet even so, he still had not found the weaknesses of those three old fellows.

"The Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation is only half complete. If it were combined with the power of the stars filling the heavens—"

"Forget those three old fellows. Even if three more came, they would absolutely be no match for us!!"

Tai Yi's aura was unstable.

In this battle, Tai Yi had ultimately borne everything himself.

The Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation had been refined from the Chaos Bell. As the eye of the formation, Tai Yi naturally became the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors' primary target.

Just as the two brothers were discussing how to deal with the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors, the entire Demon Court suddenly descended into chaos.

"Big Brother, what happened?"

Tai Yi hurriedly looked at Di Jun.

As the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court, Di Jun possessed many unfathomable abilities within it.

"What???"

Just as Tai Yi asked, Di Jun instantly learned the reason behind the chaos throughout the Demon Court.

He could not help

but rise abruptly from his throne as Heavenly Emperor.

At the same time.

Across the Primordial Wilderness, the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors no longer concealed themselves.

Since the Demon Court had already seen through their plan, they simply gathered together openly.
