All of this was nothing more than a scheme devised by Hongjun's attendant.
Hongjun had never said he would grant Kunpeng sagehood. After all, although one seat remained,
even if Xu Tong did not want it, that seat still belonged to him.
Hongjun had already made his preparations. Once his Dao Integration succeeded, he would force Xu Tong to take that seat.
Thus, what he had offered Kunpeng had always been an empty promise.
Even so, Hongjun had not left Kunpeng entirely without a chance.
As long as Kunpeng survived, Hongjun would not go back on his promise of sagehood.
Unfortunately, in their scheme, unless Kunpeng broke through to the realm of a Sage through his own strength, he had absolutely no chance of surviving.
Kunpeng's death would not be without value, either.
After Kunpeng died, Guanyin Bodhisattva would conclude that Hongjun's attendant had no strength whatsoever. Wutian would come to the same conclusion.
Otherwise, why would Hongjun's attendant abandon Kunpeng, their only source of help, and flee alone?
Under those circumstances, the next person to deal with Hongjun's attendant would be Guanyin Bodhisattva alone.
And then Hongjun's attendant could use the replica of the Jade Disc of Creation in his hands to capture Guanyin Bodhisattva outright!
The instant the plan succeeded, everything was already set in stone!
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, die!"
Hongjun's attendant shouted, and the replica of the Creation Jade Disc in his hands began spinning wildly.
Although it lacked the Creation Jade Disc's ability to help people comprehend the Dao, this replica possessed terrifying offensive power.

Now she was certain: this was a trap from beginning to end.
Faced with the replica of the Creation Jade Disc in Hongjun's attendant's hands, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no power to resist at all.
"Even
