Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared at his own body in shock.
He had thought he had already escaped the Heavenly Dao's control.
Now it seemed he had indulged in wishful thinking.
How could the Heavenly Dao let him slip free of its control so easily?
The Heavenly Dao simply did not want to clash with Fate.
If anyone abandoned him, he would someday die without even a place to be buried.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed deeply. Survival was so difficult, with danger lurking on every side.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Dijun stared at him in shock. In that instant, they had clearly sensed that something had taken control of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun stretched lazily.
"It seems we can't just wait here to die. For one thing, the Heavenly Dao won't allow it."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not conceal anything either. He told the two before him everything that had happened to him, leaving nothing out.
Some things were better explained clearly than left unsaid.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Dijun looked at him sympathetically. "The three of us really are fellow sufferers. Since that's the case, let's put up a fight!"
Although they had already prepared themselves to die here, clearly even the Heavenly Dao would not allow that to happen.
They rallied their spirits and looked outside.
Great Immortal Yang Mei and Daoist Shichen were sitting cross-legged on the ground, discussing something.
But they could not hear what was being said.
Clearly, the conversation had been soundproofed.
Still, that was a good thing.
At least they could slip away unnoticed.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun quietly shushed them.
"If I open a Space Gate here, Great Immortal Yang Mei will certainly notice. When that happens, plunge into Chaos. Don't look back, just keep fleeing. I'll catch up with you."
