Before long, Hongjun sensed Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, who had remained within the Heavenly Dao.
Although Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi had merely been controlled by Pan Heng in this affair,
no matter how he looked at it, the two of them were the source of everything that had happened.
If not for them, how could Pan Heng have contacted Hongjun?
If not for them, why would Hongjun have made the trip?
In short, Hongjun felt that Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi had to bear responsibility for this incident, no matter what.
Thus, Hongjun had no intention of resurrecting either of them for the time being.
The two of them could indeed be regarded as his allies for now.
However, Hongjun still could not quite tell whose side Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi truly favored.
After all, the fact that Pan Heng had managed to scheme against them proved that Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi had been in contact with him in private.
Under such circumstances, Hongjun could not possibly trust the two of them completely.
Given that, it would be better to leave Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi in their current state.
After all, without those two interfering, Hongjun felt that the situation would be easier to control.
Houtu would never leave the Underworld.
After all, once she left the Underworld, she would no longer possess the power of a Sage.
Thus, only a handful of the Sages in the Primordial World could take action.
Zhunti and Jieyin of the Western Lands would never act unless they received sufficient benefits.
And even if they received sufficient benefits, the two of them might still betray him at the most critical moment.
Never mind Hongjun-even Pan Heng would not dare employ people like that.
That left only Nuwa.
