Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 27 027 The Disappointed Tongtian

Jin'ao Island.

The long-eared creature, its true spirit returning to its original form, suddenly stood up, its expression filled with fear. It paced back and forth in the cave, its expression constantly changing.

Doesn't he remember the rules of the Jie Sect?

of course not.

The temptation was just too great, and he couldn't resist.

Initially, his cultivation level was considered average among the Seven Immortals, but later, for some unknown reason, he was gradually left behind by the others.

She was relegated to the bottom of the seven attendant fairies.

He was no match for the direct disciples and the three chief disciples of the outer sect, which gradually led him to develop evil thoughts. Just then, a disciple came to tell him that devouring the inner cores of others and humans could increase his cultivation.

Not wanting to be at the bottom, I simply made the long ears.

At first, they did it quite discreetly, after all, the rules of the Jie Sect were there, and it could cost them their lives if they were not careful.

But later he found that his master seemed to be indifferent to the matter, and his eldest brother was nowhere to be seen, so he simply increased his efforts, while also keeping a sliver of hope.

The law does not punish everyone. No matter how ruthless Wei Guang is, he can't possibly punish everyone, can he?

Therefore, Chang'er had the news spread among the disciples, hoping to drag more people down with him, which might also help him conceal his own existence.

Unexpectedly, those three guys ran right into Wei Guang's hands, and to make matters worse, they ended up getting him to come over.

He didn't know if the Dharma would punish the masses, but he knew that he, as the culprit, would definitely not escape punishment, and even if things went wrong, he would be expelled from the Jie Sect.

They might even be killed, as a warning to the other disciples.

No, I have to escape. Master... ugh, that damned Xuan Guang will definitely not let me go.

But where can you escape to?

Putting aside the issue of betraying the sect, just considering what they did in the past, once they lose the protection of the Jie Sect, the backlash will overwhelm them with the Taoist magic and supernatural powers of all spirits.

To survive, one must be protected by a saint.

It's impossible for either of my two senior brothers.

The eldest master only has one disciple so far. As for the second master, not killing them both is already giving Tongtian face.

Nuwa's aunt...

There's no hope at all; he doesn't have a single disciple, and he's devoured a lot of humans. As the Holy Mother of Humanity, she'd probably have to slap him to death.

Thus, only the West remains.

The West is barren and has few living beings. He is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to join the Western Sect. Only by joining the Western Sect can he stop Tongtian from purging traitors.

However, if it were just me alone, the two Western Saints might not be willing to face Tongtian.

I need to bring a few more people with me.

Thinking of this, Chang'er immediately left his cave and sent a telepathic message to the group of Golden Immortal-level disciples who had not yet left, instructing them to come see him immediately.

Soon, people began to arrive at the Long-Eared Cave.

There weren't many people, only about thirty.

Moreover, these thirty-odd people did not achieve their status through their own cultivation, but rather by forcibly accumulating Golden Immortals by eating people and the inner cores of other living beings.

Chang'er did not hide anything and directly told everyone that their senior brother already knew about their actions and was preparing to settle scores.

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked.

Seeing this, Long-Eared was very satisfied and immediately told them his idea. After only a slight hesitation, they agreed.

Since they are all disciples of the sage, what difference does it make whether they are in the East or the West?

The West is barren, so why can't they come to the East to cultivate themselves, or to eat people and steal elixirs?

Just as Chang'er was plotting with a group of Golden Immortals to betray the Jie Sect and flee to the West, Tongtian of Biyou Palace slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Chang'er and the others, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Who is Tongtian? How could he not know about the underhanded tricks of Chang'er and his gang?

Just as Wei Guang had guessed.

If they had come to Tongtian to admit their mistakes after learning that their actions had been exposed, Tongtian would not have punished them too severely. But they should never have thought of betraying the sect.

Traitors—this is something Tongtian absolutely cannot tolerate.

I didn't care about you even though you did such evil things. I've been so good to you, and you still think about betraying the sect. I'd rather not have disciples like you.

"Come see me." After transmitting his voice, Tongtian closed his eyes again.

"We pay our respects to our Master."

Before long, Zhao Gongming and his close disciples arrived at Biyou Palace.

"Go and capture Chang Er and the others, and wait for your senior brother to return and punish them." Tongtian said this without even opening his eyes.

Zhao Gongming and the others couldn't help but tremble.

They were aware of what Chang'er and his group had done, but just as Chang'er thought, the law does not punish the masses, and they had no idea how to handle the matter.

They had informed Tongtian before, but he did not respond, so the matter was put aside.

Now, Tongtian is ordering them to capture Chang'er and wait for their senior brother to return and punish them, and he hasn't even opened his eyes while speaking. Does this mean that their master is disappointed in them?

"Yes."

Although the group had their own thoughts, they didn't dare to ask any further questions. After agreeing, they left Biyou Palace.

Soon, the group arrived at Chang'er's cave and happened to run into Chang'er and his companions who were preparing to escape. Upon seeing Zhao Gongming and the others, Chang'er was filled with despair.

Now, Zhao Gongming and the others have all entered the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Duobao has even reached the mid-stage of Great Luo.

Long-eared man is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even if you add thirty or more Golden Immortals, what use would it be?

"Long-eared, I pay my respects to Senior Brother Gongming, Senior Brother Duobao, and Senior Sister Jinling..."

Although the situation was hopeless, Chang'er still held a sliver of hope. What if Zhao Gongming and the others hadn't come to take them away, but were just checking things out?

The thirty-odd Golden Immortals also bowed to the group with trepidation.

Zhao Gongming coldly looked at everyone: "I don't want to waste any more words. Let's just wait patiently for our senior brother to return."

Upon hearing this, Chang'er lost all hope, as did the others.

As for resistance...

Forget it.

They're not even on the same level, how can they resist?

"Yes."

Helpless, Chang'er could only turn around and return to his cave. Now, he could only hope that his master would consider their master-disciple relationship and not allow his eldest brother to kill him.

Even being expelled from the Jie Sect would be acceptable.

The others were also driven into Chang'er's cave by Zhao Gongming, who then joined forces with Duobao and the others to set up a large formation, trapping Chang'er and the others in the cave.

After finishing everything, Zhao Gongming prepared to leave, but Duobao suddenly spoke up: "Senior Brother Gongming, are we just going back like this?"

Zhao Gongming was taken aback and asked, "Otherwise?"

Duobao analyzed, "Since Master ordered us to arrest Chang'er and the others and wait for Senior Brother to return to deal with them, it means Master can no longer stand by and watch."

"And how disappointed our Master must have been with our past performance?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming and the others fell silent.

Seeing this, Duobao continued, "We are all disciples, but we failed to fulfill our responsibilities when our eldest brother was not around. Now is the time for us to make amends."

Golden Spirit Mother looked at Duobao: "Senior Brother Duobao, what do you mean?"
