Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

After leaving the room, Zhen Yuanzi turned around to set up a protective barrier, which Hongyun saw. Curious, she came over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun but said nothing.

Before Kong Xuan hatched, Zhen Yuanzi would set up a barrier in the corner where the eggs were placed. Now, he suddenly sealed off the entire room. Hongyun was not afraid of what was inside.

Driven by curiosity about Kong Xuan, the first peacock in the primordial world, Hongyun began to devise a way to send Tongtian away.

"Zhen Yuanzi, Tongtian says he wants to hold a nine-tailed fox. Why don't you open the barrier and let him go out to find one?" Hongyun glanced at the fox in Tongtian's hand.

Tongtian paused for a moment. Although he thought the nine-tailed fox's tail was a bit amusing, there was really no need for it.

Zhen Yuanzi knew that Hongyun hadn't foolishly told Tongtian everything, and his mood inexplicably improved a little.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, if you wish to leave, then go ahead. This barrier allows exit but not entry, and it only traps Hongyun." Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun and laughed heartily.

Hongyun glared resentfully at Zhen Yuanzi, then, enraged, stomped hard on Zhen Yuanzi's foot.

Zhen Yuanzi subtly shifted his position, watching Hongyun's foolish behavior, and smiled smugly.

Tongtian didn't leave immediately, but instead looked at Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun with a puzzled expression, his eyes shifting between the two. Only Zhenyuanzi, who possessed the Earth Book, could set up such a barrier; unexpectedly, it was actually used to trap Hongyun.

No wonder Hongyun wanted to go out all the time; he was trapped. Although he was also detained and not allowed to leave when he was in Kunlun Mountain, he was at home being watched by his own brother. But Hongyun was powerless to resist in the hands of a friend. It's really strange.

Seeing how eager Hongyun was to leave, should he help Hongyun to prevent her from being trapped in Wuzhuang Temple?

Tongtian's gaze shifted repeatedly. In a short period of time, Zhen Yuanzi's image in his mind plummeted, and he was now seen as a shameless scoundrel who imprisoned Hongyun by relying on his magical artifact.

But why didn't Hongyun resist or ask him for help?

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian?" Hongyun called out tentatively, seeing that Tongtian had clearly thought of something strange.

"Oh! I'll go out and catch it right away. Fellow Daoist Hongyun, why don't you come along? It's on Longevity Mountain, there won't be any danger." Tongtian asked Hongyun, but his eyes were fixed on Zhenyuanzi.

Hongyun looked completely bewildered, while Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Haven't you always wanted to go out for a walk? Why don't you go out with Fellow Daoist Tongtian!"

Forget about her doubts; Hongyun was practically jumping for joy to thank Zhen Yuanzi. People who had lived in later generations and experienced the vibrant entertainment of the world would go crazy if they stayed in one place for thousands of years with nothing to do but cultivate.

"Shall we go out? Hurry up!" Hongyun grabbed Tongtian and ran, throwing the Shuangpin in her arms to Zhenyuanzi.

This further confirms Tongtian's guess that Hongyun was definitely trapped.

Once outside the territory of Wuzhuang Temple, Tongtian tried to pull Hongyun away from Longevity Mountain: "Let's hurry!"

"Where are we going?" Hongyun asked, startled.

"Leave Longevity Mountain before he catches up!" Tongtian said urgently.

Hongyun blinked, then pulled Tongtian back, saying, "I can't just leave, Zhenyuanzi will be angry!"

"Why do you even care if he's angry or not?"

Tongtian looked at him incredulously: "He locked you up, and you were still worried about whether he was angry or not when you ran away?"
