Seeing the great battle raging above the heavens at the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun instantly devised a solution. He secretly transmitted his voice to the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao, instructing them to enter the Zhou Tian Star Array to assist the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

In fact, Hongjun's purpose in doing this was quite simple; it was the simplest form of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao."

As long as the Three Pure Ones are in danger, Chen Xuan will absolutely not be able to concentrate on dealing with disasters and destruction.

If Chen Xuan is even slightly distracted, Calamity and Destruction will seize the opportunity to put him at a complete disadvantage, allowing them to strike a fatal blow.

Even if they couldn't kill Chen Xuan back then, they could easily send Daoist disciples to the Investiture of the Gods list. This would sever any possibility of humanity awakening.

Unbeknownst to them, the Styx Ancestor was quietly retreating, eventually disappearing from everyone's sight.

After receiving Hongjun's order, the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao charged into the Zhou Tian Star Array without hesitation.

But as soon as they entered the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao froze on the spot. There was no sign of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni anywhere.

Only the Three Pure Ones and the brother and sister Fuxi watched them with smiles on their faces. This made the Six Sages of Heaven instantly sense that something was wrong.

To be precise, it was the Four Sages of Heaven who sensed something was wrong. Because at this moment, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi had already revealed a subtle smile on their lips.

Just then, Tongtian spoke with a smile: "Aren't you shocked? Don't you understand where the Beast Emperor Shenni went?"

"But you don't need to worry, because you'll be able to see him soon. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly."

Zhen Yuanzi scoffed disdainfully, "Tongtian, if you had the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, we would be somewhat afraid of you."

"Now you think you can defeat the Six Sages of Heaven with this Zhou Tian Star Array? That's just wishful thinking. Don't forget that you're no longer outnumbered."

As soon as Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, Tongtian revealed a mocking smile. Immediately, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram slowly rose from above his head.

This puzzled Zhen Yuanzi, who thought to himself, "The Four Swords of Zhuxian have already been taken by Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi. What use is the Zhuxian Formation Diagram to Tongtian?"

At that moment, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi simultaneously unleashed the Four Swords of Zhuxian, sending them flying above Tongtian's head. The Zhuxian Formation was instantly placed within the Zhou Tian Star Array.

This caused Zhen Yuanzi to frown instantly, glaring at Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi as he said, "You two dare to betray your master?"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi transformed into two long rainbows and arrived directly beside Tongtian. They then let out a cold laugh and said...

“When has Hongjun ever treated us as disciples? All he wanted was a pawn. And we don’t want to be pawns in his hands.”

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, my brother and I have already become disciples of Qinglian Island. We are now nominal disciples of the Qinglian Saint."

"Today, I will join forces with all my senior brothers and sisters to send all of you hypocritical Heavenly Saints to the Investiture of the Gods."

This sudden turn of events left the Four Sages of Heaven frozen in place, almost unable to believe their ears.

In the end, it was Zhunti Daoist who reacted first, rushing out of the great formation without hesitation, wanting to tell Hongjun the news as soon as possible.

Because Daoist Zhunti sensed that what he was seeing was only the tip of the iceberg. There was definitely a much larger conspiracy on Qinglian Island, plotting against his master.

It wasn't that Daoist Zhunti was particularly loyal to Hongjun, but rather that he knew that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was eliminated by Chen Xuan, wouldn't they, the Heavenly Saints, become lambs to the slaughter?
Unfortunately, what Zhunti Daoist could think of, how could the Three Pure Ones not think of? Immediately, Yuanshi Tianzun raised the Pangu Banner, directly cutting off Zhunti Daoist's retreat.

"Now that you're here, why rush to leave? Isn't it said that the Heavenly Sage entrusts his true spirit to the Heavenly Dao, making him an immortal sage?"

"Then today I'd like to see whether you will be reborn in the Heavenly Dao after you die, or go directly to the Investiture of the Gods."

At this moment, Tongtian couldn't help but laugh and say, "It is said that the Immortal Slaughtering Formation cannot be broken by any four sages. Today, you have just gathered four of you. Why don't you come and experience my Immortal Slaughtering Formation?"

As he spoke, Tongtian directly activated the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and beams of sword light shot towards the Four Sages of Heaven.

Zhen Yuanzi knew that this battle was unavoidable, and even if the odds were against him, he could not become a lamb to the slaughter.

He immediately raised the Heavenly Dao Banner and charged into the Immortal Execution Gate. Ancestor Hongyun was not to be outdone; wielding the Heavenly Punishment Whisk, he also rushed into the Immortal Execution Gate.

Seeing that there was no way out, Daoist Zhunti took out the Seven Treasures Tree and charged into the Immortal Trapping Gate.

The Guide sighed helplessly, and with the Indra Pagoda above his head, he headed directly towards the Immortal Slaughtering Gate.

As the four sages stormed into the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, a great battle ensued. However, Hongjun, outside the formation, was unaware of what was happening inside.

Because at the same time Tongtian set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, Chen Xuan had already used the Great Dao to conceal the laws, completely hiding the situation within the array.

Therefore, at this moment, Hongjun had no idea that his disciple was now facing death. His eyes remained fixed on the calamity and destruction that was battling Chen Xuan.

He then said, "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, I wonder what chance your disciples have against both my disciple and the Beast Emperor Shenni?"

Hongjun was clearly trying to distract Chen Xuan, hoping to create an opening so he could kill him in one fell swoop.

Little did they know that this was all part of Chen Xuan's plan, and how could he possibly let Hongjun succeed? Chen Xuan completely disregarded Hongjun's words and actions.

That was a feat achieved single-handedly, forcing calamity and destruction to retreat in defeat. While victory might not be attainable in the short term, a complete defeat was absolutely out of the question.

This inevitably made Hongjun anxious, knowing that if he couldn't deal with Chen Xuan, even if his disciples destroyed the Saint of Qinglian Island, he himself might still be the one to fail in the end.

Finally, with no other choice, Hongjun disregarded everything else and charged directly at Chen Xuan, intending to kill him with the combined strength of the three of them.

Just as Hongjun joined the battle, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation set up by Chiyou underwent a strange change.

Originally, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were merely phantoms, but at this moment they materialized. They were none other than the Twelve Sages of the Underworld from the Nine Netherworld.

The sudden appearance of the Earthly Saint was a disaster for the disciples of the Xuanmen sect. In just a short time, several disciples were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

Among these people, the majority were disciples of the Western Sect. On the contrary, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects did not suffer much casualties.

Because the disciples of the Chan Sect didn't dare enter the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Formation at all, they temporarily escaped this calamity. As for the disciples of the Jie Sect, they were naturally using the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to fight against the Daoist disciples. (End of Chapter)
