Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

As the Asuras made their way to the Underworld, Houtu had already given them prior notice, ensuring their unimpeded passage. At that moment, they were busily constructing various facilities.

The Stone of Three Lives, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Road to the Underworld...

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun, who was cultivating, was taken aback. He calculated with his fingers and asked in surprise.

"Did Tongtian kill tens of thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect?"

"The Mosquito Daoist persuaded the Asura clan to go to the underworld to help the Witch clan? And he even convinced Houtu?!"

When did Tongtian become so decisive? And who is Mosquito Taoist? How could he persuade Houtu?

Hongjun immediately realized that the "variable" had returned, and somehow concealed the secret of heaven.

"We need to hurry," Hongjun frowned, looking at the two faces beside him that looked exactly like his own.

In front of the three Hongjun, there was a middle-aged man whose face was obscured by black mist.

"Just a little bit more, wait a little longer..."

On the other side, Xu Qing's figure appeared in the Western Paradise, where two bald men were sitting on lotus platforms, and below them a group of little bald men were listening to the teachings.

Xu Qing transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoists, it is I."

Jieyin and Zhunti were startled and couldn't help but look around, but they quickly recovered and after a while, they said with solemn and dignified expressions.

"This sermon is over. You may all leave."

Yes~

The disciples clasped their hands together and withdrew in turn.

After all the disciples had left, Jieyin and Zhunti concealed the heavenly secrets together before whispering.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, would you please come out and meet me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing appeared, bowed to the two of them, and said, "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, how have you been?"

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other in bewilderment. When they became saints, their souls were also taken away. In addition, Xu Qing's previous actions of repairing the earth veins, as well as the fact that Daode and Houtu had not appeared for a long time and were closely related to Xu Qing, were also taken away.

They had already made some guesses about Xu Qing's purpose, but after the earth veins were restored, the two of them only hoped to establish their religion and become founders in the West in peace, and were unwilling to get involved in this matter.

Therefore, they were somewhat wary of Xu Qing's appearance. When they sensed Xu Qing's presence, their pupils contracted, and their unease grew stronger.

Zhunti couldn't help but transmit his voice, "He succeeded in proving the Dao through force?! When did that happen?"

Jieyin said calmly, "Let's see what he's doing here first. I don't want to get involved in the mess between him and Hongjun. The power of the Heavenly Dao is too terrifying."

The two were filled with countless thoughts, but as saints who had cultivated for millions of years and whose Dao hearts were perfect, they maintained a solemn and amiable appearance and put their hands together in prayer.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, how have you been? It has been countless years since we last met. You have actually achieved the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Hunyuan. Fellow Daoist, you are truly blessed and envied by all."

Xu Qing chuckled, his smile amiable, but his words sent a chill down Jieyin Zhunti's spine.

"I'm about to make my move. Whose side are you with?"

Zhunti could no longer remain calm. His eyes widened instantly as he looked at his elder brother and transmitted his voice.

"He's alone, and there are two of us. How dare he?"

"Yes, it was just him alone, and the two of us, but he dared to do it, he dared to do it—he even dared to defy the laws of heaven!"

Jieyin was also taken aback for a moment, then calmly said, while secretly reminding Zhunti through telepathy.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? I do not know."

Xu Qing shook his head and said jokingly.

"I can believe it if an ordinary person doesn't know, but you who became saints using the Primordial Purple Qi, if you can't guess it, then you've lived for billions of years in vain. Fellow Daoist, make your decision soon. We have some friendship from when we repaired the earth's veins together back then, so don't make a mistake for yourself!"

"you!"

Before Zhunti could react, he took a step forward, about to retort, but was stopped by Jieyin.

Jieyin remained dignified and composed, speaking in a gentle tone.

"In that case, fellow Daoist should know that the souls of my brother and I are both in the hands of the Heavenly Dao. We have cultivated diligently for countless eons; how can we simply abandon them?"

Xu Qing spoke gently and patiently.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. My second and third brothers' souls are also in the hands of Heaven. Since I have taken action, I have a way to ensure your safety."

"After billions of years of arduous cultivation, achieving the immortal path, is it all just to become someone else's beast of burden?"

"If you are willing, please place a wisp of your divine soul into this jade slip. I will return it after this battle, and I will also give you a generous gift."

Jieyin took the initiative, a glimmer of spiritual light flying out from between his eyebrows and entering the jade slip. Zhunti also realized what was happening and stopped acting impulsively, entrusting his soul to the jade slip as well.

"Thank you both, fellow Daoists!"

Xu Qing bowed and then vanished without a trace, disappearing to who knows where. He sighed. The two Westerners had never offended him, but... the matter was urgent, so he had no choice but to use coercion.

At the same time, within the jade pendant, Yang Mei saw the divine soul of the jade slip, and the silver light in her hand dimmed.

After Xu Qing left, Zhunti looked at Jieyin with grief and indignation, and said sadly, "After billions of years of arduous cultivation to become a saint, is this all that's left?"

The guide clasped his hands together and murmured.

"Amitabha Buddha, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless..."

…………

On the other side, Xu Qing reappeared in Nuwa's Palace, where Nuwa had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Xu Qing arrive, Nuwa's expression relaxed, with a hint of a smile, though her eyes concealed a sharp, vengeful glint.

"Fellow Daoist, it's truly a storm brewing!"

Xu Qing was taken aback and asked.

"You found out?"

Nuwa's smile widened, like a radiant flower in full bloom.

"I have some connection with Houtu."

Xu Qing hummed in agreement and asked, "In that case, have you prepared what I requested?"

"That's fine!"

Nuwa took out a jade slip, then tilted her head and asked, "Is this thing useful? After all, it was created by someone else; it's hard to say it's not a trap."

"Houtu has already told you about Hongjun's strength, so this is all we can do for now."

"Furthermore, Houtu's physical body is sealed, which also requires your Law of Creation to intervene."

After thinking for a while, Xu Qing decided not to tell Nuwa the whole truth; this matter needed to be kept hidden.

Nuwa still tilted her head, pouted, and acted like a demure young woman, smiling as she spoke.

"Haha, alright then, I'll do as you say, fellow Daoist."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed. Nuwa in this pose exuded such strong killing intent! But it wasn't directed at me.

"What are you laughing at, fellow Daoist?"

"I laughed at you for keeping it from me. I remembered the ambush you were in Kunlun Mountain by the four demons. Millions of years have passed, haven't you learned your lesson?"

"Maybe I just never learn?"

"Then I'll die with you, hee hee~"

Nuwa winked at Xu Qing.

"I'll take my leave now."

Xu Qing was unable to withstand the attack, and then a black hole appeared in the air. He took a step out and decided to make his escape first!

After the human form dissipated, Nuwa raised her hand, and in her palm floated a small cauldron emitting a green light. It was the Creation Cauldron that had previously caused Xu Qing such a terrible fate!

Nuwa looked at the Creation Cauldron, her smile gradually freezing into murderous intent. Outside Nuwa Palace, all was quiet, but inside, wind and rain raged, and Fuxi had disappeared.

Knowing that Nuwa's palace was in ruins, the murderous intent on Nuwa's face completely disappeared, replaced by disappointment.

"Brother..."
