At Kunlun Mountain.
Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's figure vanished in an instant.
For a Saint, arriving somewhere in the blink of an eye could hardly have been easier.
It took no effort at all.
Before the investiture of the gods, Saints should not have needed to act personally, yet Yuanshi still made his move. That alone showed how seriously he took this matter, and how much importance he placed on the man chosen by destiny.
To Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Jiang Shang was someone he absolutely could not afford to lose.
Besides, they had now divined that Jiang Shang had already reached the vicinity of Golden Ao Island.
How could they allow that?
Naturally, they refused to accept it!
Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi was the first to leave, departing at once.
The remaining three, however, were far more interesting.
Taishang knitted his brows, deep in thought over the matter.
There was no struggle in his expression. Clearly, he had his own views on this, but had no intention of acting immediately.
Zhunti did, but Jieyin quietly held him back.
Then he sent a covert voice transmission:
"Are you stupid? Jiang Shang is already near Golden Ao Island. That's the Interception Sect's territory! Who knows whether there's an ambush waiting there?"
"Let Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi go alone. If there's an ambush, he can bear it himself! Besides..."
A smile appeared on Jieyin's face.
He smiled faintly.
"Even if something really does go wrong, it'll only weaken his Chan Sect. What does that have to do with the Western Teachings? Wouldn't it be even better if they became weaker?"
Hearing this,
Zhunti froze at first.
Then he understood at once.
And smiled as well.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and immediately recognized each other's intentions.
Perfect!
On the eastern side of Golden Ao Island.
