Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Everyone else present saw it.

Zhunti's brows furrowed slightly, and the displeasure at the corner of his mouth froze for a moment.

A barely perceptible glint of anger flashed across the sorrowful eyes of the guide.

As saints, they were used to having everything under control... The demonic energy upheaval in Xiniu Hezhou was under their control, Haotian and the others' guilt was under their control, and the saintly Daoist aura that pointed directly to people's hearts was also under their control.

But now, Huanglong, this mere quasi-saint, has broken their control with a white lotus.

This feeling of losing control is extremely rare and extremely unpleasant for a sage.

But soon, Jieyin and Zhunti's displeasure was replaced by another, more complex emotion.

When Xuandu presented the Taiji diagram, and when the small Pangu banner appeared in Huanglong's palm.

The eyes of the two saints also cleared at this moment.

The displeasure on Zhunti's face vanished without a trace, like sand paintings scattered by the wind.

Instead, he wore a standard, kind smile, a gentle smile on his lips, and his eyes slightly upturned. He exuded a warm and welcoming aura, and his demeanor was so humble that it was as if nothing had happened.

Jieyin's reaction was more natural than Zhunti's... because his sorrowful face didn't show much expression to begin with, so he didn't need to make any effort to adjust it like Zhunti did.

His face remained sorrowful, and his eyes remained gentle, but the fleeting glint of cold light from before had long since dissipated into the golden mist.

He sighed softly, his tone full of helplessness, like an elder who had been misunderstood by a younger generation.

"What are you two nephews doing?"

The guide's voice was hoarse and low, without a trace of blame in its tone. Instead, it carried a kind of compassion that evoked guilt in the listener: "If you disagree, just say so. Why go to such lengths?"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the situation changed again.

Duobao was the first to react.

The moment this senior disciple of the Jie Sect regained consciousness, he realized what had just happened... He was almost persuaded by Zhunti's saintly Daoist aura without even realizing it.

Anger flashed across his face, and he suddenly drew the Immortal Execution Sword.

A dark red sword light exploded beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and the murderous aura that slaughtered all living beings spread out as if it were a tangible thing. Several leaves on the Bodhi tree that were close to the sword light were instantly cut off by the sword intent and twisted into green dust in the air.

"The two sages really think highly of us." Duobao's voice was deep, completely different from the bewildered look he had just had, who was almost convinced!

Haotian also summoned the Haotian Sword, and Yaochi summoned the Plain Cloud Banner, keeping a close eye on the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.

Huanglong neither drew his sword nor summoned any magical treasures.

His Pure White Lotus was still slowly rotating in his palm, and the Yin and Yang energies of the Tai Chi diagram were still slowly flowing above his head. He looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, a mocking smile on his lips.

"My two senior uncles," Huang Long's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, "this disciple's cultivation is shallow and insufficient to discuss this fairly with you two senior uncles. Since the two sides cannot reach an agreement, this disciple will now request Master to come and uphold justice."

After saying this, he tightened his grip on the small Pangu Banner slightly.

This action was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, but in the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti, it was more shocking than Duobao drawing the Zhuxian Sword, Haotian drawing the Haotian Sword, and Yaochi unfurling the plain-colored cloud banner.

Because once that small banner is crushed, the situation will be beyond their control.

Upon hearing Huanglong's words, Duobao immediately understood Huanglong's intention.

He also revealed a cold smile, and with a wave of his right hand, dark red sword light flowed erratically on the blade.

"Junior Brother Huanglong is right." Duobao's voice carried, "Second Uncle, the demonic energy in Xiniu Hezhou was caused by the evil energy of the Zhuxian Sword. The Zhuxian Sword was bestowed upon the disciple by our master."

"This matter of cause and effect should be discussed between Master and the two senior uncles. My cultivation is shallow and my knowledge is limited. I should leave such negotiations to Master."

Xuandu nodded gently to the side, his voice still gentle, but with an undeniable firmness: "You two senior brothers are right. This matter is of great importance, and it is only right that our teacher discusses it with our two senior uncles. Whatever the final outcome, as long as it is agreed upon by our teacher, we will accept it."

The three people's words were like a trident, simultaneously piercing the vital points of Jieyin and Zhunti from three different angles.

Huanglong is called Yuanshi Tianzun, Duobao is called Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Xuandu is called Taiqing Shengren!

Each person invites a teacher, and the Three Pure Ones arrive at the same time.

The expressions on Jieyin and Zhunti's faces finally changed.

This time, it wasn't just a fleeting displeasure, but a clear, grim ashen face.

What would happen if the Three Pure Ones were present at the same time?

Regardless of whether the Three Pure Ones would agree to let Huanglong stay in Xiniu Hezhou to purify the demonic energy, the fact that Tongtian Jiaozhu saw Jieyin and Zhunti influencing his disciples with the aura of sainthood was enough to make Tongtian Sword split Mount Sumeru.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was also known for his "reasoning"... Seeing his most proud disciple being tricked by two saints from the Western Sect, the Pangu Banner in his hand was the greatest principle!

In the end, it will probably be necessary for Taiqing to mediate. If they are not required to apologize, it will be considered that the Three Pure Ones have reasoned with them!

Jieyin's face changed from sorrow to ashen, and then from ashen to a deep, indescribable expression.

He looked at the figures of Huanglong, Xuandu, and Duobao standing side by side, watched the yin and yang energies of the Taiji diagram slowly rotate above their heads, looked at the Zhuxian Sword in front of Duobao and the Heavenly Emperor Sword in Haotian's hand, and finally his gaze fell on the small banner in Huanglong's hand.

He knew these three men weren't bluffing. They really dared to shout.

This time, beads of sweat were truly appearing on Zhunti's forehead...!

This wasn't the kind of performance they put on for Haotian and the others; it was genuine cold sweat.

He was all too aware of the consequences of the Three Pure Ones descending upon Mount Sumeru simultaneously.

He and Jieyin had worked on the Western Religion for countless years, and it had finally started to improve. If the Three Pure Ones were to descend, all their hard work and dedication would truly be in vain.

The previous statement that "countless efforts of Huiyuan have turned into nothingness" is no longer just rhetoric.

"Since the three junior disciples are unwilling to settle this karmic debt," Jieyin finally spoke, his voice still hoarse and filled with endless helplessness, "their senior uncle is also unwilling to force the issue. You may all leave now, and let the karma of this rampant demonic energy in Xiniu Hezhou fall upon us."

The words were spoken beautifully, generously, and magnanimously.

They adopted a pathetic posture, as if to say, "You all go away, I'll take care of this mess."

But Huanglong knew that this was nothing more than a calculated move by Jieyin, a retreat in order to advance.

And so he left, letting the karmic consequences of rampant demonic energy reach him...!

The reverse of this sentence means: You may leave, but you will incur this karmic debt.

The Immortal Execution Sword belongs to you, the Western Heavenly Gate belongs to the Heavenly Court, and you are the ones who stirred up the demonic energy.

I will be generous in my acceptance of your help and will not hold you responsible!

but......!
