"What... do you want another one to die?"
His words were soft.
So soft they seemed no more than a passing breeze, laden with drunkenness.
Yet when those airy words reached the ears of the Three Sages, they were like a bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder, exploding deep within their primordial spirits!
Hum!
For a moment, the entire seething chaos void abruptly froze.
The surging tide of sage power, fierce enough to tear everything apart, eerily subsided at that instant.
Above Laozi's head, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, which poured down ten thousand feet of mysterious yellow qi, flickered violently, its radiance almost collapsing.
The Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner fluttering in Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's hand also drooped limply, its boundless immortal radiance dimming in an instant.
At that very moment, the power the two used to restrain Jieyin slackened in unison.
Not because they wanted to, but because they dared do nothing else!
An indescribable chill welled up without warning from the deepest recesses of their sage bodies, instantly sweeping through every limb and bone.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi lowered his voice, but his urgency was impossible to conceal.
