Why Was Zhunti So Panicked?

However, even though the feeling of humiliation permeated Jieyin's heart.

He almost suppressed his anger and nearly burst into a tirade.

But in the end, he didn't say those words.

It's not just because Yuanshi was powerful!

More than anything, it's because my current position is simply too low.

They have absolutely no say in the matter.

After all, what Yuanshi said wasn't without reason.

His carefully laid plans were completely exposed.

If we don't compensate for something...

Yuanshi will certainly not let this go!

However, the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit must never be given away.

That's Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Extremely high grade! Its defensive capabilities are also incredibly strong!

Without this treasure, his combat power would be greatly reduced...

Are we really going to get beaten up by Yuanshi?

Then tell the Dao Ancestor that he willingly allowed himself to be beaten?

However, Jieyin would prevent the other pieces from being discovered by Yuanshi.

He was about to suffer such a humiliating disgrace!

Are you really going to admit it!?

Just when Jieyin was at a loss for what to do!

The elder stepped Taishang and smoothed things over.

"Second brother! Don't be anxious!"

"Why don't we go to the place the Jieyin mentioned and see what kind of treasure it holds!"

"If Jieyin dares to deceive us, then we no longer need to give Jieyin face."

"But what if the Jieyin isn't a deception? Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"

"In these times, having a few more treasures isn't necessarily a bad thing!"

"Since Tongtian is being summoned by the Dao Ancestor and the Interception Sect is currently without anyone, we can go there quietly without being discovered by any living being."

"After acquiring the treasure, it wouldn't be a problem to discuss this matter with Jieyin later, would it?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi raised an eyebrow, about to refuse, but then a strange idea began to sprout in his mind.

A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

Taishang said is not without reason.

Jieyin though he was willing to be killed by him, he still said there was an opportunity here.

It may not be fake.

Even if Zhunti and he were to plot against each other here, the Two Sages of the West' strength would be no match for them.

Thinking about it that way, going to take a look isn't a bad idea.

If the Jieyin is a scam, then he has even less to blame for taking action!

Even if the Dao Ancestor were to appear, he could still explain himself and would be in the right.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi suppressed his anger and nodded.

"Alright!"

As Yuanshi spoke, he threatened Jieyin.

"Jieyin, if you dare to deceive us, you know the consequences!"

"At that point, it won't just be a simple beating; we'll have to compensate the Chan Sect for the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit and other supreme treasures!"

"If you still don't cooperate then... even if I'm summoned by the Dao Ancestor, I'll make you pay the price!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin, who was standing to the side, seemed afraid that Yuanshi would act impulsively again, so he quickly nodded and said.

"What Fellow Daoist Taishang said makes sense!"

You can rest assured!

"Zhunti is waiting for us!"

"Once we get there, all the magical treasures will be yours!"

"Consider this an apology!"

That's what they said.

Jieyin breathed a heavy sigh of relief!

The tension eased a little...

If we can lure Taishang and Yuanshi over there, we can secretly steal some magical treasures.

Then, taking advantage of their inattention, they fled to the Dao Ancestor to avoid trouble.

Even Yuanshi and Taishang couldn't do anything about him!

Thinking about this...

The Jieyin flashed forward and said, "Follow me."

He transformed into a streak of light and vanished from his spot, heading towards the southern ocean region of the Interception Sect!

They saw the Jieyin leaving.

Taishang did not rush to go, but instead spoke to Yuanshi.

"Second brother, don't worry!"

"Given your current situation, you absolutely cannot act rashly!"

"Especially when dealing with Jieyin!"

"You already have the advantage of possessing the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, so don't displease the Dao Ancestor!"

Hearing the Taishang's instructions.

The eyes of the Yuanshi were filled with a strange light.

He gave the Taishang meaningful look and said in a calm tone.

"Brother, why do you always speak up for that Jieyin? Could it be that you two have some kind of collaboration?"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him up already!"

"Even if this matter goes all the way to the Dao Ancestor, what harm is there? I am in the right!"

Taishang's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at Yuanshi Shi without leaving a trace.

My heart skipped a beat.

Why did Yuanshi ask this question?

Could it be that he's starting to doubt even me?

How come Yuanshi has become so suspicious after such a short time?

He is driven by self-interest; he will not do anything that is detrimental to himself.

He had his own purpose in helping to Jieyin and introduce them!

Unexpectedly, Yuanshi said it to his face.

The Taishang felt slightly embarrassed, but his expression remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly.

"Third brother, your elder brother is just worried about you!"

"If you were to make a move, it would cause far too much trouble!"

"So, it's better to tone it down a bit!"

There are many ways to resolve issues, not necessarily through violence!

"Alright, that's enough. Let's go with Big Brother and see what kind of opportunity Jieyin over there!"

"Maybe we can find some good stuff!"

That's all.

Taishang was the first to flash out, and followed Jieyin's figure as they flew away!

Yuanshi, standing behind him, had a slight glint in his eyes, and a murderous intent emanated from him!

' Jieyin clearly planted a pawn in the Chan Sect, and instead of helping me fight him, my own brother speaks up for him!'

'There's probably some kind of conspiracy involved!'

'Perhaps I should also be wary of my own elder brother...'

'Even if Investiture of the Gods afterward, they may not necessarily obey him completely. Not cooperating with the Two Sages of the West doesn't necessarily mean they can't defeat Tongtian!'

'After all, I still have the Great Dao Diary Scroll!'

The thought flashed through my mind.

Yuanshi snorted coldly, then stopped thinking about it and flew away in their direction!

The speed of Sage is unimaginable!

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The three Sage arrived silently above the southern coastal area of the Interception Sect!

Below are mountains devoid of any spiritual energy.

In the distance lies the ocean to the south of the Interception Sect.

It was incredibly vast, yet it felt utterly desolate.

"The spiritual energy here is so scarce that it has been absorbed by the Interception Sect's Jin'ao Island."

How could there be such rare and precious materials?

Yuanshi, standing to one side, noticed the situation and frowned.

The killing intent emanating from his body surged forth instantly!

At this moment, he had already concluded that Jieyin was deceiving them!

Not only Yuanshi, but even Taishang frowned!

He had come prepared to search for a priceless treasure!

But what we ended up in was this poor, remote place!

"Jieyin, you have deceived us like this! In a moment, even I will not be able to stop my second brother!"

Noticing their attitude, Jieyin's Jieyin tightened, and he quickly waved his hand, explaining.

It's not what you think!

"Although this place is barren of spiritual energy, it is a hidden paradise!"

"You may follow me!"

Jieyin spoke these words, he felt no anxiety whatsoever.

Just as I was about to say something.

Suddenly, a thought struck me.

The Jieyin subconsciously looked ahead.

There, the Daoist Zhunti, transformed into a streak of azure light, was charging towards this direction!

Jieyin hurriedly addressed Yuanshi and Taishang.

"Look, Zhunti has spotted us and is heading this way."

"Then let's wait for him here for a moment!"

As Jieyin spoke, Jieyin's gaze was fixed on Zhunti.

However, when he noticed Zhunti's slightly frightened Zhunti and somewhat disheveled appearance...

I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Um?!"

"Why is Zhunti in such poor condition? Could it be that he failed to retrieve the magic weapon?"
