Stripping the Sanqing of Pangu's True Lineage Name, Hongjun Offers a Poisonous Scheme!

"Shu Dao Mountain!"

"One!"

"Two!"

Chen Xuan's voice echoed throughout the Wu and Demon battlefield.

The Sanqing remained silent.

All beings in heaven and earth were terrified, trembling, their hair standing on end.

In the eyes of countless Primordial Desolation cultivators.

The Great Array of the Stars was bound to explode today!

After all.

It was unlikely that "Houtu" would agree to the Sanqing's demands (extortion) for so many supreme treasures!

Unless they were fools!

"Three!"

Three breaths of time, a long period, yet it passed in an instant.

As Chen Xuan's last word fell, it was like the tolling of the doomsday bell, shaking the myriad realms of the Primordial Desolation.

All living beings held their breath, as if awaiting the arrival of a world-ending catastrophe!

We're dead! We're absolutely dead this time!!

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Taiqing finally spoke, and he quickly tried to placate them. "Fellow Daoist Houtu, everything can be discussed, everything can be discussed! Apologies and compensation are not impossible, it's just... it's just that what you're asking for is too much, far too much!"

It went without saying.

Taiqing, who had always considered himself superior, had compromised once again!

It seemed there was still room for negotiation?

"Yes, Ancestor Witch Houtu, we share the same origins, both branches of Pangu's True Lineage. Doing this makes things difficult for us. For the sake of Great God Pangu, can you reduce the amount? Please reduce it?"

Following Taiqing, Yuanshi Tianzun also chimed in. His previous arrogance and haughtiness had vanished, replaced by condescension and flattery.

Tongtian, however, remained silent, speechless.

After all.

If not for the difficulty of disobeying his master's orders and the karmic ties between the Sanqing, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.

Since he was here, he had to be prepared for the worst!

Therefore, being demanded compensation and apologies by "Houtu," he could actually accept it.

He couldn't blame anyone!

What's more...

Compared to Taiqing and Yuanshi.

In the end, he would only lose his Qingping Sword.

It wasn't a devastating loss!

In Tongtian's view, as long as "Houtu" was willing to compromise and yield, everything could be discussed!

One supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure in exchange for the safety of all beings and an end to the Wu and Demon conflict was not a loss!

Tongtian held a sense of righteousness.

While Taiqing and Yuanshi were acting out of self-interest.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Xuan immediately became displeased. Chen the Sharp-Tongued made his appearance decisively—

"Scoundrels! You are all venerable Sages, and you're treating this like haggling at a market stall! Have you no shame! Where is your Sage's integrity, your Hun Yuan mighty being's pride? Your principles? Your bottom line? I'm truly ashamed for you!"

"And you, Yuanshi, I've tolerated you for a long time. You keep talking about Pangu's True Lineage, do you even deserve it!?"

"As descendants of Pangu's True Lineage, how can you stoop to being Hongjun's Xuanmen Dao lineage's lapdogs, turning your backs on your own, colluding with Pangu's ancient enemies, and working together to persecute your own kin?!"

"You three, the Sanqing, falsely claim to be Pangu's True Lineage! You don't deserve it at all!"

"Speak! Why aren't you speaking! Look me in the eye and answer me! Why are you all mute?! Huh!!!"

Rolling thunderous roars exploded, shaking the four seas and eight directions, directly reaching the thirty-third heaven. The billions of stars in the heavens trembled and swayed precariously.

Chen Xuan's words, heard by the Sanqing, were not only deafening but also profoundly impactful. Their faces instantly flushed red, filled with shame and embarrassment.

As the saying goes, honest advice is harsh to the ear, and good medicine is bitter to the taste.

Chen Xuan's words were crude, but the truth was undeniable.

He was speaking nothing but the unvarnished truth!

The past was too painful to recall.

In the past, during the era of the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, the Great God Pangu, with the Jade Disc of Creation above his head and the Primordial Chaos Green Lotus beneath his feet, wielding the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, used his singular might to slay all his Daoist enemies, cleaving apart the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

Heaven and Earth separated into clear and turbid energies, evolving into the universe, ultimately giving rise to all things in the Primordial Desolation!

This magnificent feat, truly worthy of song and tears!

Even after countless eons have passed, and Pangu sacrificed himself for the Dao, who among the beings of Heaven and Earth would dare forget such a righteous act?

But the Sanqing are another matter entirely!

Not only did they become disciples of Hongjun and join the Xuanmen, but now they are even helping outsiders oppress the Wu clan, the descendants of Pangu.

Truly detestable!

One must understand.

Hongjun, that old scoundrel, is a reincarnation and renewed cultivation of one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and was once a Daoist enemy of the Great God Pangu!

He also once obstructed Pangu from opening Heaven and Earth!

The Sanqing did not remember the bloody history of their predecessors, nor did they uphold the vow of blood vengeance. That, in itself, is forgivable. But to actually recognize a thief as their father!?

To fawn over and flatter the old scoundrel Hongjun.

Truly pathetic!

Silence.

The Sanqing were all silenced by Chen Xuan's impassioned and righteous words!

"Silence? Silence is the right response! It means you still know what the word 'shame' means!"

"Since that is the case, today, in the name of Pangu, I shall strip you, the Sanqing, of your title as Pangu's True Lineage!"

"From this day forward, the Primordial Desolation World shall only have the Wu clan as the sole Pangu's True Lineage. May the Great Dao bear witness!!"

Not long after, Chen Xuan, after his furious denunciation, seemed still unsatisfied. He immediately swore to the Great Dao, revoking the Sanqing's "Pangu's True Lineage" title.

Rumble!

As his words fell.

A supreme and majestic will, vast and awe-inspiring, suddenly arose from the depths of the chaotic void, originating from that mysterious primordial world. It erupted with rolling thunder.

Instantly, it spread throughout the myriad heavens of chaos and resounded through all realms of the Primordial Desolation!

The will of the Great Dao, which had once retreated and remained hidden, had actually responded!?

They were dumbfounded!

All beings in the Primordial Desolation, all the Sages of Heaven and Earth, were stunned at this moment!

Among them.

The most shocked were the Sanqing themselves, the parties involved.

From this moment on, they were no longer Pangu's True Lineage?

From now on, they would not be called Pangu's Sanqing, so what would they be called?

Xuanmen's Sanqing?

No!!!

"Enough, I have no more to say to you. Since we cannot reach an agreement, then let there be no more talk."

"Since it is difficult for you, then do not do it!"

"Dutian God-Demon Array, give me..."

After scolding the Sanqing and stripping them of their once-proud title of Pangu's True Lineage, Chen Xuan once again roared towards the sky.

Here he comes, here he comes, he's about to activate the Great Array of the Stars again!

"Sanqing, quickly agree to that fellow's terms!"

"Just stall him for now!"

At this very moment.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had been observing the situation, suddenly transmitted a message. It buzzed in the Sanqing's ears, deafening and awe-inspiring.

Upon hearing this.

They were stunned!

The Sanqing became even more bewildered! What? Even their master, the Dao Ancestor, was forcing them to hand over their supreme treasures?

They couldn't understand!

They were already reluctant to comply with "Houtu's" blackmail and extortion. Now, their title of "Pangu's True Lineage" had been forcibly revoked.

This made them even more unwilling!

"Master, what is the meaning of this?"

Taiqing Laozi quickly asked.

"First, agree to that fellow's terms. Then, this ancestor will set a trap to confine that scoundrel to the Outer Heavens of Chaos forever. At that time... not only will your supreme treasures be returned to their rightful owners, but Houtu will have to create reincarnation, whether she wants to or not!"

"Once the Wu clan loses the Great Array of the Stars to show off, won't they be easy to handle? They're just playthings of the Heavenly Dao!"

Waves of Daoist sounds echoed in the ears of the Sanqing once more.

Throughout this, Sect Master Tongtian frowned, feeling ashamed, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

Conversely, after listening to Hongjun's suggestion, Taiqing and Yuanshi were overjoyed and secretly delighted.

They repeatedly praised: "Master's brilliant plan!"

"Master is mighty!"

As expected of the originator of schemes, this plan... is truly insidious! Truly venomous!

Hongjun, as expected, is the ultimate schemer of the Primordial Desolation!

Taiqing and Yuanshi were utterly impressed and surrendered completely.

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, show mercy!"

"We... agree to your terms!"

Rumble!!

As soon as these words were spoken.

All beings in heaven and earth were stunned and bewildered.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches: "?????"

The two Golden Crows: "????"

Jieyin and Zhunti: "!!!!"

Nuwa: "..."
