Jie Yin had no idea that the Heavenly Dao had long since noticed what was happening on their side. It simply had not appeared to help the two of them out because Ling Wudao was present.
It could not be helped. The Heavenly Dao knew about Ling Wudao. If it showed itself, Ling Wudao might still have Future Talismans on him. If he summoned his Future Self, the Heavenly Dao itself would be in deep trouble.
For the sake of its own life, the Heavenly Dao naturally would not interfere in Ling Wudao's affairs.
Yet Jie Yin and the others knew nothing of this. Had they known, they would have handed the treasures directly to Tongtian and spared themselves a pointless beating.
Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi, who was returning east, was deeply curious. Why was it that as soon as Ling Wudao, a Qi Refining Stage Late Phase cultivator, made a move, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti obediently handed over their treasures? Yet Tongtian had fought for so long, and they had been utterly unwilling to give them up.
"Saint Tongtian, why was it that when you acted, Jie Yin and the others were so unwilling to hand over their treasures, yet when the Human Emperor acted, they scurried like cats seeing mice and hurriedly offered him their treasures? They even shut their mouths instead of calling for the Heavenly Dao?"
Tongtian burst into laughter. "Zhen Yuanzi, did you not know about Taiqing going to the human race to cause trouble?"
"Mm, I did not. I happened to be in seclusion at the time."
"I see. If you knew about that matter, you would understand why Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were so frightened upon seeing Wudao."
"Here's what happened." Tongtian then began explaining it to Zhen Yuanzi.
After hearing Tongtian's account, Zhen Yuanzi finally understood why those two damned bald donkeys were so afraid of the Human Emperor. If it had been him, he too would have wanted Ling Wudao to leave as quickly as possible. Otherwise, his Ginseng Fruit Tree would not have survived.
At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi recalled what the Human Emperor had said before: that he would personally allow Zhen Yuanzi to kill Jie Yin and Zhun Ti. Perhaps he truly could do it.
Only now did he wholeheartedly wish to join the human race. Before, he had merely wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, but now he sincerely wanted to become part of the human race. With such a ruthless figure who dared to beat up Heavenly Dao Saints, the future would surely be very interesting—especially when it came to causing trouble for the Two Sages of the West.
Not to mention anything distant; just judging by the Two Sages of the West's attitude toward the Human Emperor, he dared guarantee that even if he went west right now and caused a huge disturbance, they would be unable to do anything to him. After all, he had the Human Emperor, that ruthless figure, backing him.
Just then, Ling Wudao spoke. "Tongtian, we'll part ways here. I'm going back to find Nüwa and storm Kunlun Mountain together. Given your relationship with Taiqing and Yuanshi, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to come with us."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly before slowly saying, "No, I will go with you this time as well. It is time to settle the bond between the Three Pure Ones."
"Have you thought this through? Once you come with us to Kunlun Mountain, the bond between you Three Pure Ones will truly cease to exist."
"Hahaha!"
"The Three Pure Ones have long since had no bond left. Ever since we split apart, we have been strangers."
Tongtian had long since learned everything that would happen in the future. Yuanshi and Taiqing had treated his Intercepting Sect this way, and even when he was imprisoned in Zixiao Palace, they had not come to see him. What use were such brothers? Rather than tearing their faces apart then, it was better to use this opportunity to settle things once and for all.
"Since you have made up your mind, then let us storm Kunlun Mountain together!"
"But before that, let us return to Shouyang Mountain and find Nüwa. We need to hold the advantage in numbers as well. That is the only way we'll look impressive."
"Let's go!"
With that, the three of them flew directly toward Shouyang Mountain of the human race.
Before long, the three had arrived inside the main hall of Wa Huang Palace. Ling Wudao then sent a voice transmission to Nüwa.
Nüwa, who was in seclusion, immediately withdrew from her cultivation upon hearing Ling Wudao's voice transmission. She flashed into the hall, and when she saw Zhen Yuanzi, she could not help but feel slightly surprised.
When did Wudao get to know Zhen Yuanzi? And judging from Zhen Yuanzi's gaze, he seemed extremely respectful toward Wudao. What was going on?
"Wudao, when did you get to know Zhen Yuanzi?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Wudao recounted how he and Tongtian had gone west to cause trouble.
After listening to his account, displeasure immediately appeared on Nüwa's delicate face.
"You two are really something. You went west to smash up the place, something so interesting, and you didn't even invite me."
Seeing Nüwa's displeased expression, Tongtian hurriedly explained, "Junior Sister Nüwa, you were in seclusion at the time, so we did not dare disturb you. That is why we went on our own."
"But it's fine. Next, we are going to Kunlun Mountain to trouble Taiqing and Yuanshi. Are you interested in coming along, Junior Sister?"
Upon hearing this, Nüwa raised a brow. "Tongtian, we're going to cause trouble for Taiqing and Yuanshi, yet you aren't worried at all. Instead, you look like this. Aren't you afraid the relationship between the Three Pure Ones will break completely?"
"Heh, to be honest, I intend to go to Kunlun Mountain this time to settle things with them."
Tongtian did not seem to be joking. It appeared he had already met his Future Self and learned everything that would happen in the future from him.
If he wanted to settle matters with Taiqing and Yuanshi now, then those two must have harmed Tongtian quite badly in the future!
Thinking of this, Nüwa said, "Since you wish to settle things, then let us go to Kunlun Mountain and make a scene. I have been in seclusion for so long that I have been feeling somewhat restless anyway. I can take it out on those two."
"Zhen Yuanzi, on behalf of the human race, I welcome you to join us. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you may come to Wa Huang Palace and seek my help at any time."
Zhen Yuanzi cupped his hands. "Then I thank Nüwa Empress."
At this moment, Ling Wudao spoke. "Let's stop chatting. It's time to trouble Taiqing and Yuanshi."
"Zhen Yuanzi, do not come with us on this trip. We are going to seize treasures this time. If you come along, they could easily make you a target. If you are captured through carelessness, it will become troublesome."
He also understood that if he followed them, he would indeed cause trouble for Wudao and Nüwa. Thus, he replied, "Very well, then I will not go to Kunlun Mountain. I also need to move Wuzhuang Temple into the human race's territory, which will make it easier to protect the human race."
Tongtian, standing nearby, said, "Now that everything has been arranged, it is time for us to leave."
As his words fell, the four of them vanished directly from Nüwa Palace. When they appeared again, they were already in the skies above Kunlun Mountain.
Nüwa was the first to shout, "Yuanshi, Taiqing, you two bastards, get out here!"
