No one could have imagined it.
Tongtian's strength had actually reached such heights.
Even Taishang Laozi himself probably had no confidence that he could last three moves against Tongtian!
And the strength Tongtian had displayed was not even his full power.
One could only imagine how terrifying he would be when he unleashed everything!
At that moment, Taishang Laozi could no longer hide the shock on his face.
Still, he forced his attention away from Tongtian and the others and turned to Hongjun, who sat before him.
"Master, why did you ask me to come in?"
Hongjun had no intention of beating around the bush.
The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had to proceed.
"I summoned you to tell you that the Interception Sect remains the most suitable choice to face this tribulation."
"For some unknown reason, however, the Interception Sect disbanded before our discussion at Zixiao Palace."
"If possible..."
Hongjun's eyes flickered.
Hearing Hongjun's words, Laozi froze as well.
"Master, do you mean...?"
Could the Interception Sect actually be gathered together again?
More importantly, would Tongtian agree?
Hongjun nodded.
"Indeed. I want to reassemble the Interception Sect."
"While Tongtian is here in Zixiao Palace, I can block his perception of the Interception Sect."
"When that happens, finding a way to gather the Interception Sect again will be your task."
After hearing Hongjun's words, Laozi's heart immediately pounded like a drum.
Once this was accomplished, whatever affection remained between them and Tongtian would likely come to an end.
Yet his master had personally raised the matter, and for a moment, Laozi did not know what decision to make.
Seeing Laozi remain silent, Hongjun continued.
"I intend to entrust this matter to you and Yuanshi."
"As for Zhunti and Jieyin, I will have them cooperate with you when the time comes."
