Chapter 268 The Agreement between Zhunti and Tongtian

Wen Zhong, Ji Li and Yu Qing are the direct descendants of Jiejiao. Even if Zhunti uses Dong Quan's offense against him as an excuse, it is not easy to get rid of him directly.

Among the three thousand mortals taken away by Jie Yin and Zhunti after the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, there was no direct disciple of the Jie Religion.

The Qiushou Immortal, the Lingya Immortal, and the Jinguang Immortal were first captured by Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang as mounts, and then they joined the Buddhist sect with their mounts. There was a layer of distance between them, and the cause and effect could not be attributed to the two Western saints.

The status of the Seven Heavenly Lords and the Three Thousand Red Dust Guests were similar, so Zhunti accepted this outer disciple who was of low generation and not even a registered disciple without hesitation!
Zhunti politely invited Wen Zhong and others to go to Lingshan to listen to the method of reaching the other shore. After being rejected, he turned around and left.

It seemed to be God's will, or as if some other saint had intervened. A Qingping sword came through the air and stopped him at the border between Sishui Pass and Xiqi.

Tongtian Sect Master's voice rang out from within the sword: "Junior Brother, where are you going? Dong Quan has offended Junior Brother and deserves death, but please leave my disciples behind."

Zhunti was not in a hurry at all and spoke slowly, "Dong Quan is arrogant and rude, and the brothers he spends time with are also lacking in manners. I just want to take them back to Lingshan and teach them some daily etiquette. I will send them back to the East China Sea with courtesy soon."

Tongtian Sect Master sneered: "Junior brother, don't joke. I am your disciple, so I will teach you naturally."

In the past, Zhunti might have given in. It was indeed not the time to convert the disciples of Jiejiao on a large scale. However, Deng Chanyu's previous behavior of running away when she saw a shadow raised Zhunti's expectations again and again.

As a saint, I can be shameless, but you disciples must give me face. The logic is that simple.

He felt that he could take bigger steps. The Three Thousand Red Dust Guests sounded good, but in reality they were all mediocre people. In comparison, the Seven Heavenly Lords were considered to have good qualifications and could have good choices. Who would want those rotten fish and shrimps?

He was just testing this time.

Zhunti waved his sleeves, and the Seven Heavenly Kings fell to the ground, staggering here and there, turning into rolling gourds.

He said sternly, "Brother, please understand. When Dong Quan was mocking me, I saw a smile on Yuan Jiao's lips, a hint of dissatisfaction in Jin Guang's eyes, and Sun Liang seemed to be about to take the battle formation diagram."

He pointed out the Seven Heavenly Lords' reactions one by one, and finally asked sincerely, "Junior brother, am I wrong?"

Tongtian Sect Master was a little embarrassed.

The saint's face must be maintained. No matter who you, Dong Quan, are, if you dare to contradict the saint, that is the biggest mistake in the world.

You should learn from Deng Chanyu! Ma Yuan, Jin Chanzi, and Marichi Tian were saved time and again, and Deng Chanyu said nothing, always staying away. They almost had a tacit understanding! Dong Quan, why are you so stubborn about confronting Zhunti? You're so bold.

Even though the secrets of heaven are in chaos now, the saints can see what happened in the past at a glance. Just as Zhunti said, the expressions of the seven heavenly kings have nothing to do with respect.

Tongtian Jiaozhu is also a saint, and he has to maintain the face of the entire saint class.

"How about I ask the seven of them to apologize to my junior brother?"

Zhunti shook his head. "Brother, your formations are so powerful in the wilderness that I admire you very much. Judging from these seven, it seems that you are also quite knowledgeable in formations, a hundred times stronger than my inferior disciples. How about asking my Xuanmen disciples to break the formation? I will take the defeated ones back with me, and the victors will follow me back to Lingshan. After listening to the sutras for a month, I will let them return to the East China Sea. What do you think?"

Zhunti promised to release the person, so for the saint, Tongtian's face was saved.

The dispute now is about whether to take them away directly or release them after a month.

Tongtian asked, "What is victory and what is defeat?" Zhunti said, "If the formation traps the disciples of Xuanmen, the one who presides over the formation wins. If the formation is broken, it is a defeat."

Tongtian stated calmly: "My disciples are also from the Xuanmen."

Zhunti put his hands together and bowed: "This is natural."

If Tongtian sent seven particularly strong disciples, for example, four direct disciples and four outer disciples to break the formation, after breaking the formation, according to the agreement, the seven kings would be taken back to the East China Sea if they were defeated, and it seemed that they had lost nothing. In fact, the other saints would definitely laugh at him for not being able to afford to play, and the seven disciples he sent would be accused of bullying the weak, which would be very embarrassing.

What if he randomly picked seven disciples to break the formation? After the victory, the Seven Heavenly Lords would go to Lingshan to listen to the sutras. If the Jiejiao disciples were to suffer a crushing defeat, it would also damage the reputation of the Jiejiao sect, making him appear to be an incompetent teacher.

It's like one's own people are fighting against one's own people. No matter which choice you make, there seems to be a problem.

Tongtian had a heroic spirit in his character. He felt that such calculations were too tiring, so he simply decided not to calculate and leave it all to fate: "I will ask the seven of them to set up the formation here. All disciples of Xuanmen can come and give it a try. The victory or failure depends entirely on their own ability."

Zhunti put his palms together and bowed: "I will do as you wish, Senior Brother."

The Qingping Sword flew back to the Biyou Palace.

Tongtian told his disciples about the content of the fight, and after that everything was voluntary.

The disciples also felt embarrassed. This matter seemed difficult to handle regardless of whether they won or lost.

All I can say is that Zhunti is too cunning and has taken every aspect into consideration, while Tongtian Jiaozhu is not good at bargaining, so in the end, the discussion led to this result.

The root of the whole thing still lies with Wen Zhong. If he hadn't asked the Eight Heavenly Lords to come out for help, nothing would have happened.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother had no choice but to come out of seclusion to cover for her disciple.

Three of the Ten Absolute Formations are now missing, and the remaining seven are also extremely dangerous. The Seven Heavenly Lords who preside over the formation know the disciples of Jiejiao, but the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the formation don't know who you are.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother felt that no matter what, she had to enter the formation, win a game, and bring back a disciple of the Jiejiao Sect. As long as she brought one back, Tongtian Sect Master's face would not be completely lost.

She is already the eldest sister of Jiejiao, and has been enlightened for many years. She doesn't care if people say that she bullies the weak.

Tongtian and Zhunti reached an agreement, and the saints also felt it.

Saint Taiqing doesn't care at all. What does this have to do with me?
Nuwa and Deng Chanyu didn't think this matter had anything to do with them, but Maitreya, a disciple of the Saint Jie Yin and a Daluo Golden Immortal, came to the Nuwa Palace and hoped that Deng Chanyu would go and break the formation.

Maitreya said, "Master Zhunti has always admired Junior Sister Deng's talent and wisdom, and promised that if Junior Sister Deng is willing to break the formation, regardless of whether she wins or loses, he will give her two golden lotus seeds."

Nuwa was a little tempted. Golden lotus seeds? It seemed like something she had never tasted before.
But it was difficult to make a decision for Deng Chanyu. She neither agreed nor refused: "I already know about this matter. Please go ahead, nephew."

After Maitreya took his leave, Nuwa used her divine consciousness to contact Deng Chanyu who was still practicing in seclusion in Mount Emei.

"Ten Deadly Formations? Aren't those unlucky guys all dead yet?" Deng Chanyu's first reaction was not to go. It would be better to let Jiang Ziya handle this kind of mess.
