He simply refused to believe that Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, would be unaware of these changes.
With Hongjun's strength, he should have been the first to know about the changes in the Interception Sect.
And if he knew, he would certainly take an interest.
Indeed, that was exactly the case. After hearing Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's account, Hongjun was somewhat surprised, but once that surprise passed, he remained mostly calm.
Seeing no sign of fury on Hongjun's face,
Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi felt his heart settle a little.
Sure enough, Hongjun soon spoke.
"Tell me about the Interception Sect."
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi knew that his earlier proposal was probably as good as accepted.
Taishang Laozi and the others, however, looked astonished.
How could they have imagined it?
Hongjun had actually taken an interest in the Interception Sect?
And he even seemed ready to agree to Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's utterly absurd suggestion?
Still, since Hongjun had said as much, Taishang Laozi and the others certainly would not object.
Besides, Jieyin and Zhunti were quite happy to have their teacher go down and make trouble for the Interception Sect.
After all, their treasures had fallen into the Interception Sect's formation.
If their teacher intervened, he would surely be able to retrieve them.
And once the treasures were in their teacher's hands, wouldn't that be the same as having them back in their own?
Thus, Jieyin and Zhunti could hardly have been more enthusiastic.
Jieyin quickly spoke up.
"Teacher, allow me to explain the Interception Sect's situation."
In just a few words, Jieyin gave a brief account of their descent to the lower realm, devoting most of his explanation to the formation on the Interception Sect's Golden Ao Island.
As he explained, Jieyin did not forget to mention his junior brother's treasures.
