Angrily Confronting Zhunti, The Sage Bleeds!

"Riiip!"

A spatial rift suddenly tore open above the Wu and Demon battlefield.

Myriad rays of Buddha's Light erupted, and a Daoist priest descended, stepping on a Golden Lotus.

He had a gaunt face, appearing both suffering and compassionate, clad in a plain Daoist robe. He lightly swayed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand, yet a pressure capable of crushing the Primordial Desolation swept across the land!

"Sage Zhunti! Why is he here?"

In an instant, Sage Zhunti personally arrived at the Wu and Demon battlefield. The sounds of various battles in this realm immediately froze. Even the space itself seemed on the verge of shattering.

Under that terrifying, heavy Sage's Majesty, hundreds of millions of Wu and Demon clan beings couldn't help but prostrate themselves.

Each one was like a devout believer, or perhaps more like pilgrims!

All trembling uncontrollably!

Except for the Ancestor Witches, who had manifested their Ancestor Witch True Bodies, standing tall and touching the sky, their backs bent as they desperately held on.

Even those as arrogant as Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had to symbolically bow slightly to Sage Zhunti and offer a greeting.

There was no other way. In the Primordial Desolation World, strength reigned supreme, and Hun Yuan Sages were the highest beings!

"Ancestor Witch Houtu, you, a mere ant in form, why do you not bow to a Sage?"

As soon as Zhunti appeared, he locked his gaze onto the graceful figure below and questioned her indifferently.

"Senior Chen Xuan..."

Houtu's voice echoed in Chen Xuan's ears.

She had wanted to urge Chen Xuan to restrain himself a little, not to be as reckless as when he confronted Hongjun before.

Who would have thought.

Before Houtu could even finish speaking.

Chen Xuan had already responded domineeringly to Zhunti, "Pay homage? Daoist Zhunti, what kind of creature are you!! Do you deserve my bow?!?"

"I think you've gone senile from chanting scriptures, don't you know... My Wu clan are direct descendants of Pangu, inheriting the supreme will of the Father God, and have always disdained Sages and disrespected the Heavenly Dao?!"

"Moreover, I am the future master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and even more so, the Ancestor of the Earthly Dao. In the future, my status will be on par with Hongjun. You dare ask me to bow to you?"

"Can you handle it?!"

Rumble—

As these words were spoken, all heavens and myriad spirits were terrified, and the Sages of the Xuanmen were aghast!

Especially Dao Ancestor Hongjun, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his pupils constricting.

"Ancestor Witch Houtu... actually claims to be the Ancestor of the Earthly Dao?! Hiss— it seems she already knows something!"

Even Hongjun, who possessed a Sage's Dao Heart as firm as a rock and had remained undisturbed for countless years, couldn't help but gasp for air.

Just as he had predicted.

Ancestor Witch Houtu had truly awakened her Past Life Wisdom!

This time...

Trouble!

"Ancestor Witch Houtu, you have great spirit!"

"First, you insulted the Dao Ancestor and disrespected the Sages. I came specifically to hold you accountable, yet you show no remorse, still speaking presumptuously and refusing to bow to a Sage. Your destiny is already lost!"

Facing Chen Xuan's unyielding demeanor, Zhunti's speech, though gentle, carried an unquestionable, supreme majesty.

The Sage's Dharma Eye fell upon that graceful, slender figure.

It was as if it intended to crush her!

In reality, his divine sense was simultaneously covertly observing the nascent form of the Great Array of the Stars, and he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

If this array were completed, the Wu-Demon Tribulation would be difficult to end, and the Eastern Destiny would not decline.

Therefore, his personal arrival this time was ostensibly to save face for Hongjun.

In truth, it was to prevent the Twelve Ancestor Witches from setting up the Great Array of the Stars!

Only by inciting a deadly battle between the Wu and Demon clans and triggering the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation, allowing the flames of war to spread throughout the Primordial Desolation, could the West then collect the shattered destiny and strengthen itself.

Insulted the Dao Ancestor?

What's going on?

Could it be that...

The "Houtu" who just cursed was cursing—Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!

Hiss—

How audacious!

"Hmph, daring to blaspheme against the Sage's Majesty, Ancestor Witch Houtu... has already chosen the path to death!"

"This action perfectly suits our Demon Court's intentions!"

Chen Xuan, speaking in the name of Ancestor Witch Houtu, uttered astonishing words and made outrageous claims. While this unyielding spirit was certainly admirable, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw it as someone fanning the flames of trouble and reveling in others' misfortune.

However, the Ancestor Witches were instantly ignited. Their previously bowed backs straightened considerably within moments due to Chen Xuan's few words!

That's right. The Wu clan upholds the supreme will of Pangu, showing no reverence for the Heavenly Dao or respect for Sages. So why should they bow when facing a Sage?

To hell with Sages!

Who cares about bowing!

Only Ancestor Witch Houtu remained the most clear-headed. At this moment, she was already flustered.

The Wu clan had always been disrespectful of the Heavenly Dao and irreverent towards Sages.

There was no fault in that statement.

But...

Given the Wu clan's current situation, they were like a lone boat on the sea, facing wind and waves, truly unable to withstand further turmoil.

Let alone making enemies everywhere and offending a Hun Yuan Sage for no reason!

This is bad!

"Senior Chen Xuan, can we be a bit more cautious? Don't be so reckless!"

Houtu anxiously and painstakingly tried to persuade him.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Xuan didn't hear a single punctuation mark.

"What? You want me to be even more reckless? Alright, no problem!"

The next moment, Chen Xuan directly responded as if he hadn't understood.

As his voice fell.

He arrogantly retorted to Sage Zhunti again:

"Your destined seat is lost? Hahahaha—You dare call yourself a Sage? Have you forgotten how you obtained your Sage position? If Hongyun hadn't yielded his seat back then, and you two Western Sages hadn't taken the opportunity to squeeze out Kunpeng, how would these six Sage positions under the Heavenly Dao ever have a place for two shameless scoundrels like you?!"

"Picking up scraps and stealing Sage positions is one thing, but then you shamelessly imitated the other Sages to establish a sect and become Sages. In the end, lacking destiny, you made Forty-Eight Great Vows and took out loans to become Sages! Have you forgotten all of this?!"

"Zhunti, you bald donkey, I'm standing right here now. If you have the guts, kill me!"

"Do you dare?"

"Can you even kill me?!"

Boom!!!

Another rolling thunderclap resounded through the heavens.

Shaking the heavens and earth, making gods and demons weep!

The embarrassing stories and dark history of the Two Sages of the West were known to all in the Primordial Desolation, but who dared to mention them? Who dared to be so presumptuous?

Yet, "Houtu" had just exposed them so openly to the public!

Hiss—

So daring!

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Tongtian was instantly filled with solemn respect. "Why didn't I notice before... that fellow Daoist Houtu is so bold and straightforward. Truly a witch of character!"

Nuwa heard this, shook her head, and sighed incessantly, thinking to herself, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, you are foolish!"

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi secretly rejoiced, finding it amusing.

They wished that Sage Zhunti would kill Houtu with his own hands, thus eliminating a future threat to the Demon Court!

Looking back at the real Houtu, she held her forehead, sweating profusely with embarrassment.

What a joke, being even more reckless!

He's doing it on purpose!

Senior Chen Xuan definitely heard it wrong on purpose!

This is a huge problem now!

"What's wrong with Ancestor Witch Houtu today? Did she smoke gunpowder? Why is her temper so explosive..."

After listening, Zhunti's hand holding the tree paused for a moment. His face instantly darkened, almost exploding with rage, his eyes spitting fire!

Not only that!

As he met "Houtu's" gaze, he actually detected a trace of...

Intense killing intent in her eyes!

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, which then turned into a cold sneer.

A mere ant, a speck of dust, daring to harbor murderous intent towards a Sage?

But it's for the best. With the Wu clan being so defiant, they deserve to perish sooner.

Coming to the Wu-Demon battlefield today can not only save the Dao Ancestor's reputation but also sever the foundation of Eastern Destiny. It's killing two birds with one stone!

At this thought.

Zhunti's face was filled with malice, his imposing presence radiating authority. Golden light surged around him, solidifying his sage form further, and his pressure intensified.

"Do you truly believe I cannot deal with you?"

"Today, I shall teach you a good lesson, so that you Wu clan may understand what it means for a sage to be insulted!"

As his voice fell.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree gently swept out, unleashing a Hun Yuan magical force capable of destroying all enemies in the world!

"Rebellious disciple, you mustn't!"

Seeing this, Hongjun hurriedly reprimanded him.

Just as Houtu had said.

She was the master of reincarnation.

And the future spokesperson for the Underworld Path!

She could be reprimanded, but how could he strike her with lethal force?!

However…

It was already too late.

"I'll wait for you to kill me!"

Facing Zhunti's sage strike, Chen Xuan showed no fear. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward, his demeanor utterly heroic and unrestrained!

"Senior, quickly dodge!"

Houtu was also greatly alarmed, her delicate body trembling. Her full, ample chest heaved violently, her face filled with worry. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Chen Xuan.

This scene was witnessed by the Xuanmen Sages, who were equally frustrated.

Yes, why did Ancestor Witch Houtu not dodge or evade?

Or was it…

Knowing that evasion was impossible, she simply resigned herself to fate?

"Ugh—"

Not long after.

A muffled sound of coughing up blood suddenly echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

In an instant, all the Xuanmen Sages' eyes widened in disbelief, their faces aghast with shock!

All living beings in the world were also terrified and stunned!

Upon closer inspection.

The Seven Treasures Profound Light descended, but it did not harm Houtu in the slightest.

Instead, it was Zhunti…

His sage Dao Body suddenly trembled.

Then, with a muffled groan, a metallic taste surged up his throat, and he finally spat out a large mouthful of blood!

A sage bleeding!

Rumble—!!!
