Hearing Taishang Laozi's words, Jieyin and Zhunti both froze.
So they really had come to call in reinforcements?
To be honest.
Neither Jieyin nor Zhunti had much interest in this assignment.
But Taishang Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi were using their teacher's orders to command them.
Thus, despite their impatience, they finally relented.
"In that case, we'll each send an avatar down as well."
"But since you two have already begun, how many Jie Sect Disciples have you caught so far?"
Zhunti and Jieyin had no intention of working for someone else for nothing.
At the very least, they ought to know how far the task had progressed, right?

Who would willingly do that?
Yet after hearing their question, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Taishang Laozi both looked distinctly uncomfortable.
Only then did Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi clear his throat and speak.
"When we went down, we didn't encounter any disciples of the Interception Sect.
"And there are so many Jie Sect Disciples that capturing them all would be rather difficult for just the two of us."

In that case, he and his junior brother would have to be more careful.
At that thought,
