Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 402 This is a complete disaster!

Zhen Yuanzi said with a helpless expression, "If it were just a Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, even I wouldn't need to go to Xiqi."

"After all, the disciples of the Western Sect are trapped in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, and the two Western monks cannot possibly stand idly by."

"What I'm worried about is that the Six Sages of Qinglian Island won't just stand by and watch us, the Heavenly Dao Sages, bully their disciples."

"Therefore, the sage's intervention to break the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation is very likely to trigger a war among sages. It may even directly evolve into the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods."

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, the Red Cloud Ancestor's expression changed, and he no longer appeared as carefree as before. After pondering for a moment, he spoke.

"If what my old friend says is true, then I really have no choice but to go to Xiqi. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to my master."

Afterwards, Patriarch Hongyun made some simple preparations and led his seven personal disciples to Xiqi.

This put Zhen Yuanzi's mind at ease; he had been genuinely worried that his carefree old friend wouldn't take the matter seriously.

He immediately returned to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain and summoned all the direct disciples of the Chan Sect. Together they headed to Xiqi City.

Meanwhile, the two Western Shakya monks beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool on Mount Sumeru in the west had also seen Garuda return with the message.

Upon learning that even the Maitreya Daoist was trapped in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, the two Western monks could no longer remain seated.

After a brief discussion, it was decided that the Guide Daoist would remain in the west, while the Zhunti Daoist would go to Xiqi to rescue his disciples.

If anything unusual happens, Master Zhunti will immediately notify Master Jieyin. Master Jieyin will then lead all the disciples of the Western Sect to Xiqi.

At the Demon Master's Palace in the Northern Sea, Demon Master Kunpeng had already received information about the battle situation outside Xiqi City. He even knew that the Four Sages of Heaven were preparing to head to Xiqi.

After a moment's thought, it was decided that the two demon emperors must be informed of this matter. Otherwise, they might miss the opportunity to participate in the Investiture of the Gods due to their ignorance of the situation's progress.

After all, whenever a great calamity befalls, any saint who participates in it will receive a portion of the merit.

What the entire demon race lacks most right now is merit. As long as one has merit, one can wash away one's karma and make cultivation smoother.

Therefore, Demon Master Kunpeng immediately went to see the two emperors of the demon race and recounted the whole story in detail.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun couldn't help but say to Donghuang Taiyi, "Second brother, what do you think? Should we also go to Xiqi, so as not to make things difficult for our master?"

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head and said, "Those trapped in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation are disciples of the Western Sect. What does it have to do with my demon race?"

"Moreover, Master has not issued a decree, which means that things have not yet reached that point, requiring all six of us Heavenly Sages to act simultaneously."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Since Second Brother feels that it is not the time for us to get involved, let's pretend we don't know anything about this matter."

At this moment, Di Jun had lost all his domineering aura. He had absolutely no interest in those so-called struggles for power and destiny.

If it weren't for Hongjun's intervention in the Investiture of the Gods, Dijun would likely have returned to the Sun Star for seclusion, and wouldn't have left the Sun Star at all unless faced with an immeasurable calamity.

Therefore, at this moment, Di Jun had completely handed over the decision-making power to Donghuang Taiyi. He no longer possessed the aura of the former demon emperor.

Just then, Lu Ya, the little golden crow, stumbled in. He immediately spoke to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, saying, "Father, Second Uncle, something terrible has happened. The Seven Arrows of Nailhead is missing; someone has stolen it."

Upon hearing that Lu Ya's Seven Arrows Book of Nailheads was lost, both Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi frowned simultaneously.

After all, no matter who ends up with this thing, if someone uses it to curse and kill another, they will inevitably be tainted by karmic consequences.

When they obtained the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, Hongjun had instructed them that it was an extremely evil object and should never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

The most crucial point is that everyone in the prehistoric world knows that the Seven Arrows of Nailhead belongs to Donghuang Taiyi. Later, it was passed on to the surviving Little Golden Crow, Lu Ya.

Therefore, as long as someone dies under the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, the other party will hold that cause and effect accounted for by that demon race.

He might even go directly to Lu Ya, the Little Golden Crow, to settle this karma that wasn't originally his.

Just as Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were worried, Di Jun noticed a flicker in Lu Ya's eyes.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, Di Jun still caught a glimpse of it. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father, and how could Di Jun not know what kind of person his son was?

He snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid the Seven Arrows of Nailhead wasn't lost, but rather lent to someone else by you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya's body trembled involuntarily. For Di Jun was not mistaken; it was indeed he who lent the Seven Arrows of Nailhead to Daoist Ran Deng.

However, Lu Ya had no intention of admitting it and was about to refute it when Di Jun coldly snorted at him, causing him to collapse to the ground in fright.

"Aren't you going to tell the truth?"

Lu Ya knew he couldn't hide the truth any longer, so he immediately said, "Father, Second Uncle, the Seven Arrows of Nailhead Book was indeed lent to Daoist Ran Deng by Xiao Shi."

"However, Xiao Shi did not lend out the Seven Arrows of Nailhead for no reason. It was because the Western Sect promised that after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, my demon race could enter the Western territory and would no longer suffer from the miasma of Beiju Luzhou."

"For the sake of the demon race, Xiao Shi decided to lend out the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. He also promised to intervene in the Investiture of the Gods at a crucial moment."

"Just now, the Western Sage Zhunti sent word that the Daoist disciples have set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation..."

Lu Ya then recounted the situation on the battlefield to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. He even analyzed that this might be the first battle between the Heavenly Dao Saint and the Qinglian Island Saint in the Investiture of the Gods.

After listening to Lu Ya's account, Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but sigh. Then he said, "I originally intended to wait until the Chan and Jie sects and the Western sect were severely weakened before leading the demon race to turn the tide."

"No matter what the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods is, the three sects of Xuanmen will never be able to rise again. And my demon race will become the greatest contributor to the Investiture of the Gods."

"If the human race loses after the Investiture of the Gods, their hatred for the Heavenly Dao and their master will reach its peak."

"On the contrary, if the human race wins the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, then they will no longer obey the Heavenly Dao. The result would be that Master would have no one to rely on."

"At that time, the demon race will become the only race that Master can support. The great prosperity of our demon race will be just around the corner."

"Unfortunately, you have completely disrupted your second uncle's plans. Now, even if your second uncle didn't want to take action, he probably couldn't."
