Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 816 The Dao Ancestor Fears Laozi?

“Dao Ancestor, the Golden Crow Sect does not uphold martial ethics. I had already successfully ambushed them with the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin and was about to capture the Six-Eared Macaque.”

"The female demon and the ten Golden Crows under the Golden Crow's command suddenly launched a sneak attack on me."

Jiang Chen complained, feeling wronged.

“If you complain to the Dao Ancestor, what can he do? He can’t very well break the rule that sages cannot interfere, can he?”

"You and Nüba are destined by heaven. If you want to become saints, only one of you can survive. She wants to devour you, and you also want to devour her."

"They're after you. Why didn't you stay hidden in the chaos? What are you doing back here?"

Tongtian gloated.

Jiang Chen killed the Ten Heavenly Kings and had a blood feud with the Jie Sect. He couldn't wait for Nüba to kill this guy.

Hongjun was indeed helpless. He had set his own rules, and he couldn't just swallow back what he had done.

Nüba was only targeting Jiang Chen, so he had no reason to interfere.

Who told you not to have any fellow disciples to help you?

What's the point of telling me this? I can't help you. Even if I were to bestow upon you a Chaos Treasure, given your current cultivation level, you wouldn't be able to use it.

"You should stay in Zixiao Palace for a while."

Hongjun was helpless.

Jiang Chen felt extremely wronged, but since the Dao Ancestor had already said so, what could he do?

"This is a cosmic shuttle, capable of traversing space. Take it. With this treasure in hand, neither Nüba nor the Ten Golden Crows can hold you back."

Seeing Jiang Chen's pitiful state, Hongjun couldn't bear it and bestowed another treasure upon him.

"Thank you, Daozu."

Jiang Chen simply said thank you.

What's the use? Yang Jian and Nüba are in cahoots. This thing seems to be faster than Yang Jian's spaceship.

This thing is almost identical to Guang Chengzi's Bracelet of Limitless Power; they were nearly caught up by Yang Jian.

However, something is better than nothing.

Nuwa, the Ten Golden Crows, and Yang Jian stood guard outside Zixiao Palace, blocking Jiang Chen.

The Six-Eared Macaque took the opportunity to go back and deal with the heads of the Ten Spirit Apes.

But when they returned, they found that the two sides had separated. At the last moment, Fuxi made a move, leading the three sects to set up the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array to force Wutian and his group to retreat.

The Six-Eared Macaque didn't blame him, after all, he had witnessed the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, and the Two Elements Dust Array was a semi-saint array.

Combined with the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation created by Fuxi himself, and the Five Elements Formation of the Five Extreme Sacred Beasts, these three semi-sacred formations can withstand the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Fiends Formation, a sacred formation.

At that time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches used the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to drive back the Saintly Primordial Beginning.

This comparison clearly demonstrates the power of the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array.

The Demon Clan's Myriad Demons Formation and the Qilin Clan's Myriad Qilin Formation can only be considered top-tier formations; they are still somewhat lacking in the realm of semi-saint formations.

There are four Primordial Sacred Arrays: the Zhou Tian Xing Dou He Luo Grand Array, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Array, the Innate Five Elements Grand Array, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array.

There aren't many semi-saint formations. The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, the Two Elements and Micro Dust Formation, the Intercepting Sect's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Acquired Five Elements Formation, and the Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragons Formation can barely be considered as such.

The Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragons Formation uses the Ancestral Dragon Pearl as its core, truly enabling it to gather the power of the entire dragon clan.

The Ancestral Dragon Pearl is a supreme innate treasure.

The Qilin Clan's Ten Thousand Qilin Formation is modeled after the Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Formation, but the magic weapon used for the formation's core is inferior.

Fuxi and Tongtian, these two masters of formations, each created a semi-saint formation.

Di Jun's master was also a master of formations. He fused two semi-saint formations and, through the Zhou Tian Star Fruit Tree, gathered the power of the Zhou Tian stars to create the sacred formation, the Zhou Tian Star Dou He Luo Grand Formation.

The three masters of formations were equally matched in their mastery of formations.

Upon counting, it was discovered that seven members of the demon race had also been captured.

Wutian sent someone to inform the Three Religions to exchange hostages.

The Antarctic Immortal, the White Lotus Child, and others were switched back. Meanwhile, the Primordial Celestial Lord and his companions went to the outer chaos to assess the situation.

Upon seeing the arrival of the three religions, Yang Jian had no choice but to retreat with Nüba and the ten golden crows.

"It's a pity that Jiang Chen still got away. It'll be hard to have such a good opportunity again."

The Golden Crow felt extremely sorry.

Unexpectedly, the one who ultimately caused the trouble was Guang Chengzi, whom they had always looked down upon.

This guy is surprisingly loyal this time, almost risking his life to save Jiang Chen. It's really strange.

In fact, Guang Chengzi had no choice. He rushed forward in a moment of impulse and regretted it when he was being chased.

But by then, he was already in a difficult position. Even if he abandoned Jiang Chen, Yang Jian would definitely not let him go. Taking Jiang Chen with him would be safer, as he could at least use Jiang Chen as a shield.

Jiang Chen originally had no feelings for the Chan Sect, but Guang Chengzi's fearless rescue of him this time truly moved him.

"Anyone who dares to touch Guang Chengzi from now on is going against me."

Jiang Chen made a promise on the spot, giving Dizang a warning glare: "If you dare to use the Holy Hoop to bully Guang Chengzi again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You only saw Guang Chengzi save you, but you didn't see that Di Shitian almost got killed by Wutian because he helped hold off Wutian to stop Guang Chengzi."

Ksitigarbha gritted his teeth and said.

Jiang Chen turned around and saw that Di Shitian was more seriously injured than Guang Chengzi.

"And there's Indra. Anyone who dares to touch Indra and Guangchengzi is going against me." Jiang Chen immediately changed his tune.

Ksitigarbha was satisfied. He would then hand over the Holy Hoop Mantra to Indra, so that Indra could bully Guang Chengzi. Let's see what you can do then.

"Dao Ancestor, the disciples of the Golden Crow Sect are going too far. We originally had a great advantage."

"Should we also send people down to deal with Nüba and the Ten Golden Crows?"

The more Yuanshi Tianzun thought about it, the angrier he became.

"As fellow Daoists, the Guiyi Sect can't just stand by and do nothing," Wuyun Xian said sarcastically.

They were fighting to the death down there, while the Guiyi Sect members were just watching the show in Heaven. They were more concerned about inequality than scarcity.

"There's no need for now. The Phoenix Clan won't stand idly by if the Guiyi Sect is defeated. Tathagata hasn't yet completed his tribulation, so there's no point in starting a full-scale war with the Demon Clan now."

Hongjun shook his head.

These words displeased both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

On the surface, Daozu seemed to favor the Chan Sect, but in reality, he favored the Guiyi Sect. As for the Jie Sect, he treated it as superfluous, unloved and uncared for.

The Dao Ancestor seemed to be very wary of Laozi and dared not go too far with the Guiyi Sect. He rarely interfered in the affairs of the Guiyi Sect, and even they could sense it.

It was a direct command to both the Chan and Jie sects, regardless of whether they were willing or not.

But the Guiyi Sect has never been treated this way.

Last time, Xuan wanted to kill Guang Chengzi, but the punishment was just a hundred years of confinement, which was not a big deal.

It's just weird.

Although the six sages were ordained by Heaven, Laozi was the strongest, but his strength was still limited, and he was definitely far inferior to the Dao Ancestor.

I really can't figure out what the Taoist master was afraid of about Laozi.

Laozi usually appears to be a kind and easy-going person, never competing or fighting for anything, so why did he become someone that the Dao Ancestor feared?

Tongtian narrowed his eyes. He hadn't noticed it before, but after being imprisoned in Zixiao Palace, he could clearly feel that Daozu was wary of Laozi.

They all gave orders and commands to others, but they only consulted with me.

Take the last time, for example. When the Chan Sect attempted to seize the destiny of the human race, the Guiyi Sect changed its mind at the last minute. Laozi and Xuandu refused to help the Chan Sect, and the Dao Ancestor did nothing to Laozi and Xuandu.

If it were the Jie Sect or the Chan Sect, they would have been forced to obey with the Zixiao Palace Decree long ago, and if they didn't listen, they would have sent the Four Fiends to capture them and bring them to the Zixiao Palace.

So, was his previous guess correct?
