Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 197 Jieyin and Zhun Ti Make Their Move

In the Primordial East Sea, Hongyun felt a wisp of saintly might emanating from Kunlun Mountain. Coupled with the golden light of merit in the sky above Kunlun, Hongyun knew what had happened on Kunlun even without being there!

This wisp of saintly might should also have been released by Taihao! Hongyun looked towards Kunlun with hope, wishing Taihao success!

In Wa Huang Palace, after Nuwa felt this wisp of saintly might, she excitedly stood up from her seat and looked towards Kunlun with excitement!

She knew perfectly well whose saintly might this was, after all, they had lived together for tens of thousands of years!

Nuwa longed for this day to come. If Taihao were also a saint, how could she be cornered at her doorstep by Jieyin and Zhunti?

Nuwa immediately headed towards Kunlun. Although she knew Taihao was fine on Kunlun, she was still uneasy! Only by watching herself could she truly feel at ease!

On Mount Sumeru in the West, Zhunti had just entered seclusion when Jieyin called him out.

Jieyin also had a bitter look on his face. Zhunti could turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, but he couldn't. Now, another wisp of saintly might had appeared from Kunlun. If it succeeded, what would become of them! Thus, Jieyin had urgently summoned Zhunti!

Zhunti had just emerged from seclusion and had not yet figured out what the problem was when Jieyin spoke in a hurry:

"Junior Brother, this is bad! A new wisp of saintly might has appeared from Kunlun. Quickly, let us rush to Kunlun. If Kunlun gains another saint, I fear our peaceful days will be over!"

Zhunti was greatly alarmed upon hearing this and said:

"Senior Brother, what are you saying? Someone has achieved sainthood on Kunlun Mountain? Let's go! Let's go! Hurry! We must stop it!"

Zhunti was very panicked now. Kunlun Mountain previously had the Three Pure Ones, and then Zhenyuanzi appeared. Fortunately, the heavens had eyes, and some time ago, for reasons unknown, an anomaly of a saint's fall occurred!

He and his Senior Brother deduced that it must have been Yuanshi. This made the two of them overjoyed; Zhenyuanzi had achieved sainthood while Yuanshi had fallen!

This was very good for the two of them. The Three Pure Ones were one entity, and their combined strength was much greater than adding Zhenyuanzi! This was also the basis for their confidence in attacking the human race and daring to go to Kunlun today!

But now, with someone else achieving sainthood on Kunlun, Jieyin and Zhunti could guess with their feet that it was either Taihao or Hongyun. Whichever one it was, it would not be friendly to the two of them!

Once Kunlun had four saints, and they joined forces with Nuwa to attack them, even if heavenly saints were immortal and indestructible, Zhunti and Jieyin still felt a chill. After all, given their relationship with Kunlun, a five-on-two situation was not impossible!

The two of them rushed towards Kunlun Mountain at full speed, fearing that if they were too late, the other would have already achieved sainthood, and they would be rushing to their deaths!

As soon as Nuwa arrived at Kunlun, she saw Taihao surrounded by merit. Nuwa looked worried. Taishang said:

"Fellow Daoist, do not worry. From the looks of it, Taihao should be fine!"

Nuwa relaxed slightly after hearing Taishang's words!

Suddenly, Taishang and Nuwa frowned. The two of them looked in the direction of Mount Sumeru simultaneously. In their perception, Jieyin and Zhunti were heading towards Kunlun Mountain!

Nuwa's relieved heart tightened again. Wherever these two were, there was never any good news!

Nuwa immediately intended to fly over to stop Jieyin and Zhunti. Taishang reached out and blocked her. Nuwa looked at Taishang in confusion. Taishang said:

"Fellow Daoist, do not worry. Taihao is an elder of my Daoist sect. I will not let him suffer any accidents! Let us first see what these two intend!"

Nuwa nodded, as if she had no choice. If it were just her alone, she truly wouldn't be a match for Jieyin and Zhunti!

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Taishang and Nuwa with ugly expressions. However, since they dared to come, they naturally had their plans. Perhaps they were no match for Taishang, Tongtian, Nuwa, and Zhenyuanzi, but if they wanted to leave, the others might not be able to stop them!

The two ignored Taishang and Nuwa and headed straight for Taihao!

Taishang saw that Jieyin and Zhunti were about to enter Kunlun Mountain, but instead of landing, they intended to fly directly into Kunlun!

Taishang's face turned cold, and he directly unleashed the Taiji Diagram, suppressing the void of Kunlun. Jieyin and Zhunti, to avoid a confrontation with Taishang, had no choice but to land on the ground!

Taishang said coldly:

"Your actions, esteemed sirs, are indeed going too far!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti wanted to immediately unleash the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and start a fight, but he was stopped by Jieyin!

Jieyin chuckled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Taishang is right! We have offended you!"

Taishang ignored Jieyin, instead narrowing his eyes. As soon as Zhunti landed, he had wanted to attack him, but was stopped by Jieyin. Taishang said:

"You two have never liked our brothers' Kunlun Mountain very much. I wonder why you have suddenly arrived today and what brings you here!"

Jieyin grumbled inwardly, "Do we dislike Kunlun Mountain? We find you brothers an eyesore!"

Jieyin said with a chuckle:

"We sensed on Mount Sumeru that someone on Kunlun was attempting to reach sainthood, so we specifically came to stop it!"

"What? Stop it? Are you two fellow Daoists joking?"

Taishang looked at them in disbelief!

Hearing Taishang's question, Jieyin immediately put on a sorrowful face and said:

"Fellow Daoist Taishang, you may not know, but heavenly saints need to entrust their divine souls to the Heavenly Dao. My brother and I, along with Fellow Daoists Nuwa and Zhenyuanzi, have entrusted our divine souls to the Heavenly Dao, and it is already unable to bear the burden."

"If Taihao were to entrust his divine soul to the Heavenly Dao as well, the Heavenly Dao would surely collapse. What a pity this would be for the Primordial World!"

"If the Heavenly Dao collapses, all living beings in the Primordial World will find it difficult to survive. We brothers are saving all living beings in the Primordial World! We implore you two fellow Daoists not to obstruct us!"

Jieyin made his voice resound throughout the Primordial World. The myriad races of the Primordial World, hearing this, believed that Jieyin, as a saint, would not lie!

Thus, the myriad races of the Primordial World knelt down and cried out:

"We implore Fellow Daoist Taihao to stop! We implore Fellow Daoist Taihao to stop!"

Taihao was in the process of entrusting his divine soul, and his divine soul roamed the Primordial World. He never expected to see this scene!

Taihao did not know that his achieving sainthood would bring such harm. For a moment, he hesitated. On one side was the Great Dao he yearned for, and on the other side were the myriad races of the Primordial World, even the human race he favored most was among them!

This hesitation caused Taihao's physical body on Kunlun Mountain to seem as if it had suffered a heavy blow, and a trace of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Nuwa's expression changed drastically, and she said:

"Brother, do not listen to his nonsense! There is no such thing!"

Then, Nuwa stared at Jieyin with blood-red eyes, her eyes filled with boundless hatred! Nuwa said hatefully:

"Jieyin, you resorted to such means to ruin my brother's saintly fruit!"

After Nuwa spoke, boundless saintly might erupted from her body, and she charged directly at Jieyin!

Jieyin saw the blood red at the corner of Taihao's mouth and knew that his objective had been achieved!

While dodging Nuwa's sporadic attacks, he sneered:

"Sister, this is Taihao's unstable Dao heart, you cannot blame me!"

Zhunti also did not expect that his Senior Brother had almost ruined Taihao's saintly fruit with just a few words!

As expected, Senior Brother is still Senior Brother!

Taishang looked bewildered, not understanding what had happened to Nuwa!
