Plotting to have the Ten Golden Crows throw the Primordial World into chaos?!!
No, how did Ancestor Witch Houtu know about this secret?
And who had told her?!
If "Houtu" had not brought it up, Jieyin and Zhunti would have nearly forgotten about it!
"This..."
The incident had come too suddenly, the situation changing without warning. Zhunti's expression shifted drastically. Though he had suppressed the turmoil in his heart and feigned composure,
his fingertips were trembling slightly!
Jieyin was no different!
Back then, Zhunti had handled this matter with utmost care. It should have been flawless.
Yet now, "Houtu" had exposed it before everyone!
Beyond their shock and terror,
the Two Sages of the West racked their brains but could not understand...
How exactly had Houtu learned of it?
This time, they were in deep trouble!
After all,
the karma involved in this matter was far too complex. It not only concerned the situation between the Wu and Demon clans,
but even involved Sage's Karma!
Once the truth came to light, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Jieyin... Zhunti... you two bald thieves truly deserve to die!!"
Sure enough, Di Jun and Tai Yi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, instantly saw red, killing intent surging from their bodies.
Who understood the pain of watching drama only for it to land on yourself?!
It could be said
that aside from Hongjun, the one person who remained clearest-headed,
all the other sages of the Profound Gate wore grave expressions.
So the Ten Golden Crows leaving Tanggu Valley and bringing disaster upon the Primordial World had actually been orchestrated behind the scenes by the Two Sages of the West?!
In other words...
the fuse for this great war between the Wu and Demon clans had been lit by the Two Sages of the West?
This news was simply explosive!
It instantly shook the heavens of the Primordial World!
"Jieyin, Zhunti, you two... do you not intend to give this emperor an explanation?"
Suddenly, Di Jun flashed to the front of the formation. His face was dark as he spoke in a cold, low voice.
Every word was gritted out through clenched teeth, forced out from between them!
His hatred soared to the heavens!
His killing intent was bone-chilling!
With a turn of his hand, the River Diagram and Luo Book trembled as it unfurled, pouring down boundless divine radiance and unleashing the full might of a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Whenever Di Jun thought of his ten children, nine dead and only one surviving in such misery, rage surged within him.
The last shred of respect he had once held for Hun Yuan Sages had vanished completely.
In its place was endless killing intent!
Looking back over the causes and consequences, Di Jun found the matter filled with suspicious points.
After all,
he had laid down layers upon layers of restrictions in Tanggu Valley to protect the ten little Golden Crows. Even Quasi-Saints would struggle to break through them.
Yet unexpectedly,
despite guarding against everything, he had still failed to guard against a Sage's scheme!
Jieyin...
Zhunti...
These two bald thieves truly deserved to die!!!
"Th-this... the Witch-Demon Calamity had actually been plotted by Sages behind the scenes?"
As for Eastern Emperor Taiyi, though he was equally furious, he could see past the surface and glimpse the essence. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, cold sweat instantly breaking out across his body.
He had always felt...
that something about this Witch-Demon Calamity was off!
It was as though everything had long been premeditated!
If "Houtu" had not revealed the secret and publicly exposed Jieyin and Zhunti's little scheme, he might still have remained in the dark!
Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing Palace.
The Grand Pure Sage remained silent.
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun showed a look of disdain.
Jinao Island, Biyou Palace.
Shangqing Tongtian slammed his hand on the table in anger, loudly cursing the bald monks of the West for their shamelessness!
Within Wa Huang Palace in the Outer Heavens of Chaos,
a thick layer of frost instantly covered Sage Nuwa's exquisite, peerlessly beautiful face.
She spoke in a cold, heavy voice. "The ten little Golden Crows leaving Tanggu Valley was actually the scheme of the Two Sages of the West? Those two shameless bald thieves... they are truly detestable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a graceful figure wrapped in icy, surging Hun Yuan aura shot out from Wa Huang Palace, racing toward that vast Primordial World!
"Senior Chen Xuan... you..."
Ancestor Witch Houtu was dumbfounded as well.
She stared blankly at the panicked Two Sages of the West.
Amid her shock and horror, endless reverence and admiration rose within her for Chen Xuan.
Whether it had been the earlier taboo of transforming into reincarnation,
or the secrets of the Earthly Dao,
Hongjun's schemes...
the Heavenly Dao's plans...
or even the current incident of the Golden Crows throwing the Primordial World into chaos!
All the signs showed
that the waters of this Primordial Desolation World ran far too deep!
Unfathomably deep!
Though she felt ashamed, Houtu could not help growing excited and exhilarated.
This confirmed it. Senior Chen Xuan could actually see through so many secrets of the Primordial World.
Then...
he was undoubtedly a peerless great expert!
The Witch Clan's dead end might yet be turned around in Senior's hands!
"Fellow Daoists Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, do not act rashly!"
"This child is spreading wicked lies and confusing the masses. It is utter nonsense! What plot to send the Golden Crows from their nest? There was no such thing at all! What evidence do you have to prove that we of the West plotted to have the Ten Golden Crows throw the Primordial World into chaos? Houtu, you dare slander Sages? You have courted death!!"
"Slander! This child is purely slandering us! Do not fall for this woman's scheme! Your Demon Clan's enemy is the Witch Clan!!"
Before long, seeing Di Jun approach menacingly with the River Diagram and Luo Book in hand, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi had the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell above his head, Jieyin and Zhunti both panicked and hurriedly tried to argue their way out.
Hearing this, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not help stopping. They hesitated and subconsciously looked toward Ancestor Witch Houtu.
That was right. At this crucial moment in the war between the Wu and Demon clans, they could not rule out the possibility that Houtu was deliberately stirring up conflict.
With just a few words, Jieyin and Zhunti had turned the situation around somewhat.
Houtu's breathing stalled, and she was at a loss for what to do.
In an instant, the situation fell into a deadlock.
All was silent!
Indeed, whoever made the claim had to provide the proof!
Otherwise, with mere empty words, who would believe it?
After all, the sacred beings and innate deities of the Primordial World were not fools!
But Chen Xuan had long prepared a response—
"Slander? Heh heh, Jieyin, Zhunti... do you dare use your Sage's divine abilities to trace the River of Time and investigate the karma? Then the truth will naturally come to light!"
His voice echoed like a great bell, reverberating through the vast primordial starry sky.
It violently shook Jieyin and Zhunti's Dao Hearts and Primordial Spirits!
The method Chen Xuan had proposed was truly vicious!
Jieyin and Zhunti's hearts instantly skipped a beat in fright.
Meeting the hostile, sharp gazes of the two Golden Crows, Jieyin and Zhunti panicked for a moment. Yet holding firm to their Sage's Dao Hearts, they quickly calmed down and did not fall into Chen Xuan's trap of proving themselves.
Even now, Sage Zhunti still did not forget to quibble. "Use Sage's divine abilities? Houtu, what right do you have to order me?!"
Jieyin instantly understood. He quickly changed the subject and immediately echoed, "You dare slander Sages, insolent brat! Junior Brother, join me in breaking the formation and killing this wretch, restoring the West's spotless innocence!"
With that, the Two Sages of the West completely lost their composure, rolling forth terrifying Hun Yuan mana that pressed down like the sky itself.
"Crash—"
In an instant.
Zhunti wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, which swelled against the wind in an instant. Golden light swept out, and blade-like gales ravaged all directions!
Jieyin's eyes also gleamed fiercely. Jieyin's Treasure Banner hovered above his head, while the Demon Subduing Divine Pestle descended with the force of thunder!
The Two Sages of the West unleashed all their power. They were both enraged and trying to cover up their shame, their actions only making their guilt more obvious.
Clearly, they intended to use every Sage-killing method at their disposal, seeking to bury the truth beneath a battle to the death!
However...
Facing the rampage of the Two Sages of the West, all living beings between heaven and earth trembled in terror.
Only Chen Xuan remained utterly calm, as though Mount Tai could collapse before him without changing his expression.
He was completely fearless!
"Even now, you still refuse to admit it? Heh heh, this matter concerns that Sage's Karma. You... cannot escape it."
The moment his words fell,
Jieyin and Zhunti's Sage's Dao Bodies trembled violently. As though they had sensed something, their expressions instantly changed in horror!
How did this Houtu know everything?!
She even knew this matter involved Sage's Karma?
Was she some kind of know-it-all?!
"Jieyin, Zhunti, if you do not give this palace an explanation today, this palace will not let the matter rest!"
Rumble—
Suddenly, a woman's furious cry, filled with killing intent, rang out from the depths of the chaotic void.
Upon hearing it, the Two Sages of the West were struck as if by lightning. Their hearts sank, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale!
Looking up,
above the boundless starry sky,
a streak of Seven-Colored Divine Light tore through chaos as Sage Nuwa descended!
Vast and boundless Hun Yuan Dao Rhyme surged forth, accompanied by immense Sage pressure.
In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent, and all beings held their breath!
The battlefield between the Wu and Demon clans...
had gained another Hun Yuan Sage!
Once again, unforeseen changes arose!
