But now, the Two Western Saints had abruptly broken away from the Daoist School and abandoned their identities as its disciples. Even the Heavenly Dao Saints were shocked by this move.
"Outrageous! Those two ungrateful wretches-how dare they act so recklessly!"
Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace, Heavenly Venerable Virtue was the first to roar in anger, his surging aura shaking the universe.
As the foremost disciple of the Daoist School and the senior brother of its disciples, he had to assume this angry stance now, whatever he truly thought.
"Have you two forgotten the Dao Ancestor's kindness, that you would betray your master and dishonor your ancestors?"
On Mount Kunlun, Primordial Heavenly Venerable also flew into a rage and rebuked them coldly.
Yet as he spoke, his gaze could not help turning toward the Purple Heaven Palace, as though he were calculating something.
Compared with the two of them, Cult Leader Tongtian was far more straightforward. He took up the Green Apple Sword and stared sharply toward the Western Lands, boundless killing intent surging from his body and making heaven and earth in all ten directions tremble with dread.
Within the Human Race's Spirit Vine Sect, Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes as well and looked toward the Western Lands.
"So it's finally beginning!"
Lin Tian murmured the words, but no surprise appeared on his face.
He had long known that the Two Western Saints harbored ambitions of their own. Their betrayal of the Daoist School had only been a matter of time.
Now, with the investiture of the gods calamity over and Heavenly Venerable Virtue having successfully broken through, fewer and fewer opportunities remained for the Western Lands. If they kept waiting, they would only waste their time, and might even see all their painstaking efforts come to nothing.
