"The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe falling into Gu Changqing's hands might not be a bad thing..."
Hongjun's words left everyone present momentarily stunned.
Laozi, Yuanshi, and the other two of the Four Saints abruptly turned toward Hongjun, disbelief written across their faces.
Their eyes were filled with profound confusion and bewilderment.

His hatred for Gu Changqing ran bone-deep.

That was why he dared to roar at him immediately and demand an explanation.

"Do not be impatient, fellow Daoist of Chaos. Hear me out."
"Have you ever considered why Gu Changqing was able to obtain this supreme treasure?"
At these words, everyone fell silent.
What did he mean now?!
Earlier, the Sages and all living beings had witnessed it firsthand: that
