"Why are you running?"

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

Dan Jing curled his lips into a smile.

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

Those words—

left all the cultivators of the mortal world silent.

Anyone with even a shred of dignity could not have said 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—

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

Invincible.

Untouchable.

They truly could not afford to provoke him!

"Let's go."

Dan Jing paid no heed to the crowd. He glanced at Xi He and Chang Xi, who stood beside him, and called out to them.

Then,

he led the two sisters, Xi He and Chang Xi, who followed close behind, straight out of Violet Cloud Palace. With a single leap, they stepped into Chaos and departed.

After these peak experts left,

the Quasi-Sage cultivators of the mortal world all turned their gazes toward Red Cloud, who had yet to leave and stood beside Zhen Yuanzi.

Their intentions were undisguised—

they all intended to fight by force 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 stream of yin-yang radiance, plunging into Chaos and vanishing from sight.

Afterward,

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

Seeing this,

Red Cloud, who had already calmed down from the joy of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, turned grim.

With so many powerful experts—

could he still return to Fire Cloud Cave unscathed?

"Don't go to Fire Cloud Cave."

Zhen Yuanzi, beside Red Cloud, grabbed him.

With a solemn expression, he said,

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

Hearing this,

Red Cloud turned to his close friend Zhen Yuanzi and saw the grave look on his face.

He nodded solemnly.

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

Zhen Yuanzi smiled.

He looked warmly at Red Cloud and said,

"What do you mean, 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 all too 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 completely unscathed.

But as long as they returned to Longevity Mountain

all problems would improve.

As the place that had nurtured Zhen Yuanzi, the Earth Book, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Longevity Mountain was rather unique even among the many supreme cultivation grounds.

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 gathered experts hesitate to throw a rat at a porcelain vase, not daring to rashly offend Longevity Mountain.

In this way—

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 Violet Cloud Palace together, stepped into Chaos, and disappeared.

After they departed, the Quasi-Sage cultivators of the mortal world who remained in Violet Cloud Palace, along with many Great Luo Realm cultivators who wished to watch the spectacle, all followed after them.

Once all the cultivators of the mortal world had left,

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

Then,

the entire Violet Cloud Palace vanished into Chaos.

Among the stars.

After Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi returned to the Primordial World, they did not hurry back to Sun Star to enter seclusion. Instead, they turned to look at the peerlessly beautiful sisters beside them.

Dan Jing invited them,

"Want to go watch a good show together?"

Hearing this,

Xi He and Chang Xi naturally knew exactly what sort of "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 seize Red Cloud's Primordial Purple Qi as well.

Now,

facing 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.

"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 struggle—

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

Likewise, the chance of anyone else snatching it from him would be 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 stunned for a moment, 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 with some surprise—

was that something Dan Jing, who had always loved taking more than his share, would say?

It should not be!

"Are you two coming or not?"

Seeing Xi He and Chang Xi's astonished gazes, Dan Jing offered no explanation.

Instead, he pressed them again.

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

Was he supposed to tell these 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 quite 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 peerless beauties.

The Primordial World was full of them!

Besides, women would only slow down his pace in stirring up trouble and having fun.

Whoosh!

After speaking, Dan Jing did not linger any longer.

His figure flashed, transforming into a golden rainbow that sped toward the Primordial World.

"Hey, hey, hey—"

Seeing Dan Jing leave just like that, Xi He called out,

"I never said I wasn't coming!"

Then,

she used her escape technique and swiftly chased after him!

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

She sighed softly.

"My sister is about to lose her restraint!"

At this rate—

before long, Chang Xi would begin to suspect that before her sister could make a move on Dan Jing, Dan Jing would have her wrapped around his finger!

Fortunately—

it was not a loss!

Cultivating together with Dan Jing and jointly comprehending the Great Dao 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 entered heaven and earth from Chaos, a truly dangerous aura had shrouded them, never once departing!

Above the Ninth Heaven.

Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi had not traveled very far!

Boom—

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

"Bold!"

Seeing the mighty yin-yang power strike at him, Red Cloud, who had long been on guard, turned sharp-eyed and shouted furiously.

At the same time,

Red Cloud raised a hand, and a sky full of fiery clouds carrying the might to burn all things surged toward that yin-yang power.

Rumble—

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

Whoosh!

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

He made no effort to conceal his desire to kill Red Cloud, nor his greed for the Primordial Purple Qi in Red Cloud's hands.

In a deep voice, he roared,

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