All the Saints Make Their Move - Part Two

Empress Nuwa first returned to her palace in her phoenix carriage, while Zhun Ti drifted into the Wa Palace.

The two Primordial Chaos Saints took their seats as host and guest. Empress Nuwa spoke first. "Fellow Daoist, your conduct this time has cost us Saints our dignity."

Zhun Ti sneered inwardly. Our dignity? If I hadn't done that, would you have agreed to see me? He gave her a smile that never reached his eyes. "I was discourteous."

He said he was discourteous, but his face showed no remorse. Empress Nuwa was faintly displeased. She lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhun Ti grew angry too. She agrees to see me, then puts on these lofty airs. What gall!

He cursed her inwardly, but he still needed Empress Nuwa's consent. Without it, he would have no grounds to act. Suppressing his anger, he said, "The Witch-Demon Clans are closely matched in strength. Even if the Demon Race takes the Netherworld of Reincarnation, its victory will likely come at a terrible cost. Why not let the Western Teaching help? With our forces united, we can utterly defeat the Witch Race. What does Your Ladyship think?"

Empress Nuwa sneered inwardly. If you want a hand in the Reincarnation Netherworld, just say so. Why talk in circles? She was about to speak when a thought struck her, and she paused to consider it.

Just then, auspicious clouds gathered outside the palace. Jin Ning's voice rang out: "The Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Shouyang Mountain, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Kunlun Mountains, and the Heaven-Connecting Cult Master of Biyou Palace have arrived!"

As soon as she finished, attendants led the three sect masters into the palace.

At the sight of the Three Pure Ones, Zhun Ti said, "Your timing is excellent."
