Chapter 48: Zhunti is Deceived

  The matter of repairing the sky has been completed, but the multitude of saints did not immediately leave.

  Since the heaven and earth have been supplemented, the two tribes of witches and demons actually want to start a war again. Except for Nüwa, the other saints see this as cold laughter in their hearts, "What a group of things that don't know life or death!"

  Indeed, after this great war, the two tribes of witches and demons have been severely damaged. However, the two tribes still haven't learned their lesson and want to continue fighting. The saints all shook their heads in dismay, but it's also good that they will both be destroyed, so as to avoid any future troubles in the vast wilderness.

  Of course, they are saints, some things can't be treated as if they hadn't been seen, this matter still needs to be managed.

  "The two tribes of witches and goblins do not know the heavens, do not respect the heavens, only know how to indulge in killing and war, causing chaos in the vast wilderness, deserving of their downfall. Now that you have both received a lesson, I hope you will cultivate yourselves well from now on."

  As the eldest senior brother, Lao Zi naturally said so at this time without hesitation.

  Zhun Ti immediately nodded in agreement, "What the Great Master said is true. The witch and demon tribes have brought chaos to the Hongyuan Continent, countless lives lost at their hands, with boundless sin. I, Xi Fang, am willing to help them attain a positive outcome."

  Zhun Ti has a dignified and composed demeanor, and people who don't know him will surely praise him when they see him.

  Yun Zhongzi heard this and almost burst out laughing. This man was later known as the most shameless person in Hongyuan, and indeed he lived up to his reputation.

  Yuanshi Tianzun let out a cold snort and said in a chilly voice, "Zhunti Daoyou's words are quite off the mark. As for matters of the East, there is no need for fellow daoists to worry about them."

  Tongtian Sect Master also agreed, saying: "Second Master's words are not wrong. The affairs of the Wu and Yao tribes are my Eastern matters. It's better for Zhunti Daoist friend to not overstep."

  Zhun Ti was about to retort in anger, but the guide beside him said, "Yuanshi Taoist friends are all equal, as fellow living beings of the vast wilderness, why distinguish between east and west?"

  Yuanshi Tianzun was at a loss for words and didn't know how to refute, Laozi suddenly said, "Let's hear the opinions of the Witch and Demon tribes on this matter for now."

  Bai Ze spoke first, "I have seen many sages, my demon clan has declined, but we do not want to be controlled by others. Moreover, our clan has the Heavenly Mother Goddess Nuwa, the first sage in heaven and earth, so naturally we demons follow her orders."

  Bai Ze was no pushover either; he knew that their only chance of survival lay in binding the You tribe to Nüwa.

  Nüwa, as the saint of the demon clan, naturally spoke up at this time and said, "What Bai Ze said is not wrong. My demon clan will naturally be managed by me, and there's no need for others to intervene."

  "Unacceptable," Zhun Ti said, speaking up first. "The demonic tribe's crimes are heinous, how can we continue to let them run amok?"

  "The demon clan is under my control, and naturally they will no longer be allowed to wreak havoc on Honghuang."

  Seeing Zhunti about to speak, Nüwa's face suddenly turned cold, and her heart moved. She said, "Hmph, Zhunti Daoist friend, don't you forget how the Ten Princes of Xuanji appeared on the Primordial Continent."

  Zhun Ti thought for a moment, his expression unchanged, and said, "This is the will of heaven, the trend of the times. Even if I, a poor monk, didn't take action, this matter would still occur. How could it be blamed on me, especially in these chaotic times when everyone relies on their own abilities?"

  Nüwa's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, with a fierce aura flashing across her face. She spoke in a cold voice, "Good you, Zhun Ti! I should have known it was you. I had already suspected that something was amiss when the ten princes suddenly left Yingzhou that day. I didn't expect that you were behind it all along."

  The Heavenly Master of Tongtian and the Primordial Heavenly Lord were also extremely astonished, apparently neither of them had expected such a thing to happen. On the other hand, Laozi's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already known about this matter all along.

  Zhun Ti's expression changed, his face turned extremely gloomy, and he said, "You scoundrel, Nüwa, you deceived me!"

  When Nüwa mentioned the departure of the Ten Princes from Xihuang, he thought Nüwa already knew about his seduction of the ten golden crows. Only now did he react, realizing that since the appearance of the ten golden crows on the continent of Honghuang, he had been deceiving Heaven's will, planning to stop after the Great War of Sorcery and Demons. But now, he was actually deceived by Nüwa! Zhunti's face turned bright red with anger, and his expression was extremely unpleasant, with several more wrinkles added to his face.

  At this time, Zhunti was no longer confused about the heavenly machine. Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiao-zhu each counted their fingers and suddenly realized that they had not noticed the birth of the ten golden crows before. In their opinion, the ten little children did not understand things and went out to play, and the demon tribe was originally at odds with the witch tribe, so killing people from the witch tribe was normal.

  Actually, Nüwa hadn't paid much attention to the ten golden crows before, but just now, she remembered the heavenly mechanism of Zhunti being robbed by Hongyun in the past. So she had a sudden movement in her heart and said so. She didn't expect it to be true after all. This time, Nüwa remembered Zhunti even more clearly and labeled him as sinister.

  Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled and said with a smile, "Zhunti Daoyou, are you still going to intervene in this matter of the demon clan?"

  Tongtian Jiaozhu burst out laughing on the side, originally even if the saints later calculated that it was Zhunti who did it, nothing would have happened. The key is that now he has been deceived by Nüwa and said it himself, this time Zhunti has lost face in front of several saints.

  Yun Zhongzi also wanted to laugh, but after all, he was only in the later stage of Da Luo Jinxian. If he really dared to mock Zhuanti, he would undoubtedly become Zhuanti's punching bag.

  Zhun Ti gave Yuan Shi Tian Zun a fierce glare, let out a cold snort, turned around and stopped talking, with a surge of murderous aura on his face.

  Nüwa didn't pursue it either. After all, this matter had long since passed, and as Zhuanti said, this was the trend of the times, and it was destined by heaven.

  Everyone then turned their gaze to the Wu tribe, and Xing Tian directly said proudly, "My Wu tribe is not controlled by anyone, no one dares to use force to oppress my Wu tribe."

  Yun Zhongzi shook his head and sighed upon hearing the words, thinking to himself, "He really doesn't know life or death. At this moment, Zhuanti is still fuming with anger, isn't he just rushing towards the muzzle of a gun?"

  The other saints also sneered coldly, and the five saints did not speak or make any movements, quietly waiting for the outbreak.

  As expected, Zhun Ti was holding back a belly full of fire at this time and had nowhere to vent it. Unexpectedly, Xing Tian himself wanted to be the one to trigger it.

  Zhun Ti's entire body burst forth with energy, his anger reaching the heavens, and he directly pinned Xing Tian to the ground. "How dare you! You ignorant thing, how can it be up to you to decide how we Saints should be arranged? Are you worthy of making such decisions?"

  Xing Tian was furious, but he also knew that if he didn't become a saint, he would end up as an ant, so although his anger was burning fiercely in his heart, he didn't erupt.

  However, he refused to compromise and said, "I... the Witch Tribe... will not allow... outsiders... to take control!"

  Although Xing Tian spoke in a stutter, his expression was firm and the arrogance on him did not decrease at all. This was not intentional, but he had an innate air of arrogance.

  Zhun Ti opened his palm, which was as big as a lotus leaf, and slapped it directly on Xing Tian's body. Instantly, Xing Tian's skin cracked open and his flesh burst forth, the pain twisting his face, but he didn't make a single sound of suffering. This actually made Yun Zhongzi quite admire him, thinking that Xing Tian was a real man.

  Seeing Xing Tian like this, Zhu Ti opened his palm again and was about to strike. At this time, Lao Zi stopped him, "Alright, in my humble opinion, from now on, the Wu and Yao tribes will stay on Beijuzhou Island. They are not allowed to go to the other three continents without a reason."

  At the same time, Laozi's whole body aura burst out, enveloping the entire Mount Buzhou.

  Tongtian Daozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun both said, "What Shifu said is indeed correct."

  Nüwa could not help but agree under Laozi's gaze, and the two Western saints also knew that their intentions were doomed to fail, so they agreed as well.

  The old man said one sentence and directly made the two tribes stay on Beiqiu Island together. As for whether the two tribes will continue to fight in the future, it's not their business anymore.

  Everything was done, and the saints were about to leave, but at this time, the six saints received a summons from the Taoist ancestor, asking them to go to the Purple Mansion. The saints then hurried to the Purple Mansion with a puzzled mood.

  After the crowd of saints left, Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly and was about to hurry back to Jin Ao Island. At this time, Bai Ze flew to Yun Zhongzi's side, "I've seen Daoist friend Yun Zhongzi, I don't know..."

  Yun Zhongzi naturally knew what Bai Ze was up to, but he wouldn't easily hand over the two precious items. He chuckled and interrupted Bai Ze's words, saying, "So it's Fellow Daoist Bai Ze. As the leader of the demon tribe now, you must take good care of them. The dignity of a saint is not to be desecrated. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

  Yun Zhongzi didn't give Bai Ze a chance to speak and directly flashed away from Mount Bu Zhou.

  Bai Ze couldn't help but feel frustrated, he wasn't stupid and naturally understood that Yun Zhongzi was planning to monopolize the Hetu Luoshu. With a sigh, he coldly hummed at the Wu tribe crowd and directly led his demon tribe away from Mount Buzhou.

  On the other hand, Gonggong, Xingtian and others saw that Yun Zhongzi had not handed over the Hetu Luoshu to the demon tribe, but instead let out a sigh of relief. They looked in the direction where the demons flew away, their faces changing from cloudy to sunny, and finally gritted their teeth and led the Shu people to fly in another direction.

  The two tribes were almost wiped out after this battle, leaving the crowd in a state of shock and awe. A chill ran down their spines as they witnessed the devastating outcome. The two powerful tribes had ultimately ended up in such a state, leaving everyone in a state of dismay. Afterwards, they all retreated to closed-door cultivation, knowing that only with strong power could they survive the impending catastrophe.

  After the great calamity, although everyone was injured, they all gained some merits, so everyone was also satisfied and smiling.

  Then Zhenyuanzi and Xuan left the First Sun Mountain, and Duobao and others did not stay either. They followed Yunzhongzi's instructions and left directly after finishing their tasks, returning to Jinhai Island.

  Soon after, Yun Zhongzi returned to Jin Ao Island and retrieved the Twelve Tribulations Black Lotus from Duobao. He then took San Xiao back to Wu Xing Island, where they both went into seclusion for cultivation.

  Yun Zhongzi has gained a lot of merit this time, and his current cultivation has already reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. He is not far from becoming an Immortal Saint. Yun Zhongzi naturally hopes to advance to the realm of Quasi-Saint as soon as possible, because the Heavenly Tribulation is imminent!
