The East Sea, Golden Ao Island.
Golden Ao Island now allowed entry but forbade departure. Tongtian feared that Interception Sect disciples stranded outside, unable to return earlier for various reasons, might encounter enemies when they finally came back and be unable to get inside quickly, while he himself might be unable to intervene in time.
That was why he had established this rule. After all, quite a few Interception Sect disciples remained in Yin Shang and elsewhere.
Even with Tongtian's strict orders, many could not return due to special circumstances. Nothing could be done about that.
But who would have thought that barely any Interception Sect disciples would arrive, while Chan Sect disciples came in wave after wave instead?
Shen Gongbao had only recently entered, and today, Daoist Randeng was coming too.
Since the grand formation had not been activated against outsiders, Daoist Randeng encountered no danger along the way and quietly slipped onto Golden Ao Island.
The very moment he entered Golden Ao Island, Tongtian had just finished dealing with Yang Jian and Nezha.
Huh? Daoist Randeng?
Why has he come to my Interception Sect instead of staying put in the Chan Sect?
Wait...
In my previous life, this fellow joined the Western Teachings. Seeing my Interception Sect flourishing in this life, could he be planning to join us instead?
Now that's interesting. If I remember correctly, when I read Investiture of the Gods in my previous life, people on the forums discussed how close Daoist Randeng was to Manjushri, Puxian, and Cihang. Otherwise, they wouldn't all have joined the Western Teachings together.
If these four are willing to join the Interception Sect, will Primordial Heavenly Venerable be so furious that he spits blood?
