Tongtian was taken aback by those words.
Although he did not mind word getting out that he was cultivating the Primordial Dao, he had never expected others to learn of it so quickly.
Judging by Taishang Laozi's words, he had been in seclusion all this time, so he was unlikely to have discovered it himself.
With that in mind, Tongtian began to understand.
"So Yuanshi went to you for help, Elder Brother, and invited you to join him against me?"
"It is not that I look down on the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, but whenever something happens, what can he do besides ask others for help?"
"If he has any backbone, why not let his Chan Sect fight my Interception Sect fair and square?"
"All he knows is scheming like this. I have no respect for him!"
But upon hearing Tongtian's words, the corner of Taishang Laozi's mouth twitched.
A fair and square fight? Fight, my ass!
Thinking back to the scene of ten thousand immortals paying court in Biyou Palace, Taishang Laozi felt utterly helpless.
As long as the Sages stayed out of it, even all the factions in the Primordial World combined probably would not be enough for the Interception Sect to defeat with one hand.
A hundred thousand Interception Sect immortals-that was no joke!
After all, the Interception Sect Immortals in Biyou Palace earlier had not been the sect's entire force.
The Investiture Calamity was underway, and a large contingent of the Interception Sect's people was still in Yin Shang.
With the Interception Sect's current strength, those stationed in Yin Shang alone could probably crush the Chan Sect, provided its Sage did not intervene.
Alas!
Comparisons really could drive a man to his grave!
But to be honest, Taishang Laozi did not care much about any of that.
