"Why are they running?"

Watching the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others leave directly,

Dan Jing curled his lips into a smile.

"I'm not some unreasonable archfiend. Would I chase after them and beat them up?"

Those words—

left all the Red-Dust Guests silent.

Anyone with even a shred of dignity could not say something like that after doing what Dan Jing had done!

At this moment,

everyone's impression of Dan Jing became even more vivid.

This madman—

not only was he arrogant, domineering, and powerful, he was also fucking shameless!

Invincible.

Untouchable.

They truly could not afford to provoke him!

"Let's go."

Dan Jing ignored the crowd. He glanced at Xi He and Chang Xi standing beside him and called out.

Then,

with the two sisters, Xi He and Chang Xi, following closely at his heels, he walked straight out of the Violet Cloud Palace, leaped into Chaos, and departed.

After these strongest experts left,

the Quasi-Sage Red-Dust Guests all turned their gazes toward Red Cloud, who remained standing alongside Zhen Yuanzi.

Their intentions were undisguised—

they all wanted to fight for the Primordial Purple Qi that had fallen into Red Cloud's hands!

After glancing at Red Cloud,

whoosh—

Kunpeng was the first to transform into a streak of yin-yang radiance, plunging into Chaos and vanishing.

Afterward,

Styx Patriarch, Queen Mother of the West, and the other Quasi-Sage experts also departed in silence!

Seeing this,

Red Cloud, who had already calmed down from the joy of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, wore an increasingly ugly expression.

So many powerful experts—

could he really return to Fire Cloud Cave unscathed?

"Don't go to Fire Cloud Cave."

Zhen Yuanzi, beside Red Cloud, grabbed hold of him.

With a grave expression, he said,

"Come back to Five Villages Temple with me. Don't return to your Fire Cloud Cave dojo."

Hearing this,

Red Cloud turned toward his close friend Zhen Yuanzi and saw the solemn look on his face.

He nodded seriously.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you for a while."

Zhen Yuanzi smiled.

Looking gently at Red Cloud, he said,

"What trouble? Between the two of us, why distinguish yours from mine!"

"Let's go—"

"This journey back will likely be difficult."

Nodding,

Red Cloud said no more. He understood this perfectly well!

The journey home would be difficult.

Even if Zhen Yuanzi and Red Cloud joined forces, no matter how confident they were, neither believed they could return to Longevity Mountain intact.

But once they returned to Longevity Mountain—

all their problems would improve.

As the place that had birthed Zhen Yuanzi, the Earth Book, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Longevity Mountain was rather special even among the many top-tier dojos.

Zhen Yuanzi was confident that, using the Earth Book and the Ginseng Fruit Tree as the core, he could construct a powerful Earth Vein Formation.

It would make the experts hesitate like rats avoiding shattered vessels, not daring to rashly offend Longevity Mountain.

Thus—

he could ensure Red Cloud's safety!

Red Cloud naturally understood this, which was why he did not refuse Zhen Yuanzi's invitation.

Very soon,

the pair of close friends left the Violet Cloud Palace together, stepped into Chaos, and vanished.

After they departed, the Quasi-Sage Red-Dust Guests still remaining in the Violet Cloud Palace, along with many Great Luo Realm Red-Dust Guests who wished to watch the spectacle and battle, followed after them.

Once every Red-Dust Guest had left,

Haotian glanced around the empty Violet Cloud Palace and shut its gates.

Then,

the entire Violet Cloud Palace vanished into Chaos.

Within the Starry Sky,

after Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi returned to the Primordial World, they did not hurry back to the Sun Star to enter seclusion. Instead, Dan Jing turned to look at the stunning pair of sisters beside him.

He invited them,

"Want to go watch a good show together?"

Hearing this,

Xi He and Chang Xi naturally knew exactly what "good show" Dan Jing meant!

To be honest—

if they had not needed to leave with Dan Jing, the two sisters might have tried to fight for Red Cloud's Primordial Purple Qi as well.

Now,

faced with Dan Jing's invitation to watch the show, Xi He and Chang Xi naturally would not refuse.

On the contrary,

Xi He looked at Dan Jing with some curiosity.

"Do you want to seize that Primordial Purple Qi too?"

At her side,

Chang Xi's curious gaze also turned toward Dan Jing.

If Dan Jing joined the fight—

Red Cloud would have little chance of keeping that Primordial Purple Qi.

The chances of anyone else snatching it away from him were just as slim!

There was a ninety-eight percent chance—

that Primordial Purple Qi would end up in Dan Jing's hands.

"Primordial Purple Qi?"

Dan Jing was startled upon hearing that, then shook his head.

"Not interested!"

Huh?!

Could there really be a great cultivator who was not interested in Primordial Purple Qi?

Xi He and Chang Xi both looked at Dan Jing before them in surprise—

was that something Dan Jing, who always liked to take more than his share, would say?

It should not have been!

"Are you two coming or not?"

Seeing Xi He and Chang Xi's astonished gazes, Dan Jing did not explain.

Instead, he pressed them,

"If not, I'll go by myself."

Was he supposed to tell the two sisters—

that he had gotten a strand of Primordial Purple Qi from that old Sage?

There was no need.

Though during these two lectures, he had grown rather close to Xi He and Chang Xi,

and there was still big business to discuss afterward,

that did not mean Dan Jing was willing to indulge the two of them—

they were merely two stunningly beautiful women.

The Primordial World was full of them wherever one looked!

Besides, women would only slow him down from stirring up trouble and having fun.

Whoosh!

Dan Jing did not linger after speaking.

With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a Golden Rainbow and fled toward the Primordial World.

"Hey, hey, hey—"

Seeing Dan Jing leave just like that, Xi He called after him.

"I never said I wasn't going!"

Immediately,

she used an escape technique and swiftly chased after him!

Watching Dan Jing leave together with her elder sister, Chang Xi, with her cool and aloof bearing, shook her head.

She sighed softly.

"Big Sister is about to lose her composure!"

At this rate—

after some more time passed, Chang Xi would suspect that before her sister even made a move on Dan Jing, she would be completely wrapped around his finger!

Fortunately—

it was not a loss!

Cultivating together with Dan Jing and comprehending the Great Dao together would benefit the two sisters' cultivation.

Why not?

Descending from Beyond the Heavens,

Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi transformed into streaks of light and sped toward Five Villages Temple on Longevity Mountain!

Both wore grave expressions—

from the moment they stepped out of Chaos and entered heaven and earth, a truly dangerous aura had shrouded them and never departed!

Above the Nine Heavens,

Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi had not yet traveled very far!

Rumble—

the sea of clouds in the firmament suddenly trembled, and surging yin-yang power carrying sharp killing intent swept directly toward Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi!

"Bold!"

Seeing the mighty yin-yang power striking at him, Red Cloud, who had long been on guard, sharpened his expression and shouted angrily.

At the same time,

with a raise of his hand, endless fire clouds, carrying the might to burn all things to ashes, surged toward that yin-yang power.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

the two terrifying forces of the Great Dao collided in the firmament. The sea of clouds instantly collapsed, while the rolling force crushed everything and reduced it to void.

Whoosh!

Kunpeng, clad in a black-and-white Daoist robe, emerged from a beam of yin-yang immortal light, overflowing killing intent swirling in his eyes.

He made no attempt to conceal his killing intent toward Red Cloud, nor his greed for the Primordial Purple Qi in Red Cloud's possession.

In a deep, furious roar, he demanded,

"Red Cloud, hand over the Primordial Purple Qi!"
