After Hongjun accepted Jieyin and Zhunti, everyone found that the disciples Hongjun accepted seemed to be the ones on the six futons.
Although the Sanqing were not on the futons, they did have futons when they first arrived. It was only after Hongyun gave his seat to Jieyin and Zhunti that the Sanqing also gave up their seats, thus leaving them without futons.
Furthermore, Hongjun only accepted six disciples, and there were exactly six futons.
Kunpeng also noticed this phenomenon, and his face immediately turned pale with anger. The way he looked at Hongyun was filled with hatred.
Once upon a time, he had been on one of those six futons. He blamed Hongyun for his meddling and resented Jieyin and Zhunti, those shameless old vagrants, for teaming up to snatch his futon.
The more Kunpeng thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at Hongyun, Jieyin, and Zhunti, his eyes blazed with boundless hatred.
Dijun and Taiyi noticed Kunpeng's unusual expression and also grasped the key point.
Dijun patted Kunpeng on the shoulder and said,
“Demon Master, do not be rash. They are all Sage disciples now, and there is nothing we can do!”
After Dijun’s words, Kunpeng also came to his senses, a wave of panic washing over him. He had actually displayed his hatred for the three in the Purple霄 Palace, and Hongjun must have noticed.
Thinking this, Kunpeng broke out in a cold sweat.
Kunpeng looked up at Hongjun and indeed found Hongjun staring at him. Kunpeng was greatly alarmed and quickly suppressed his animosity towards Hongyun, Jieyin, and Zhunti. Su Dan Novel Network
The Sanqing paid no mind to who would become Hongjun’s disciple. After refusing Hongjun, the three of them sat calmly in their seats as if the outside world had nothing to do with them.
Everyone looked at the Sanqing and couldn't help but sigh,
“Truly composed!”
Jieyin and Zhunti saw the Sanqing sitting at ease and found it amusing. They thought these Sanqing must be out of their minds to refuse becoming Sage disciples.
Now that their brotherhood had joined the ranks of Sages and possessed the foundation for becoming one, it would be easy to control the Sanqing in the future. With such a huge advantage, they would have the confidence to confront the Sanqing if any conflict arose.
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts.
They decided they must cultivate diligently and quickly trample the Sanqing underfoot. Not a single one of the Sanqing was good. The eldest had beaten them for no reason.
The second and third had ruined their opportunities for no reason. If not for Yuanshi and Tongtian driving them away at Buzhou Mountain, they might have had a share of the innate gourds.
Thinking of this, Jieyin and Zhunti’s gazes towards the Sanqing were no longer friendly.
Taishang noticed the gazes of Jieyin and Zhunti and revealed a set of pearly white teeth.
Jieyin and Zhunti saw this and thought to themselves,
“Incorrigible fools, what time is it and they can still laugh! Laugh! Laugh! Once my brotherhood becomes Sages, you won’t be able to laugh anymore!”
Taishang saw the change in Jieyin and Zhunti’s expressions, shrugged indifferently, and showed them a nonchalant expression.
Taishang: ╮(╯_╰)╭
Everyone saw that Hongjun had finished accepting his disciples, but they noticed that Hongjun still held a ray of Primordial Violet Qi in his hand.
Everyone thought, could this Primordial Violet Qi be for them?
Their eyes immediately lit up, thinking that Hongjun was not too unreasonable and had not kept all the benefits for his disciples.
Remembering how Jieyin and Zhunti had obtained Sage disciples by feigning misery, many people immediately began to imitate them!
“We beg the Sage’s pity and implore you to bestow this ray of Primordial Violet Qi upon us!”
Jieyin and Zhunti saw everyone imitating them and a hint of disdain flashed in their hearts, thinking,
“You expect to imitate my brotherhood with this? Hmph! Look at how fake your crying is! Can’t your tears flow more naturally?”
Jieyin and Zhunti observed everyone’s performance and thought,
“A bunch of losers. We’ve performed for you twice, and not a single one of you has grasped the essence. Truly pathetic!”
Taishang watched everyone putting on a show of misery, his mouth twitching, utterly speechless.
At the same time, Taishang thought to himself,
“I can’t let these two fellows, Jieyin and Zhunti, come to the Eastern lands anymore. Look at how these people have been led astray by them!”
Hongjun saw everyone putting on a show of misery but remained unmoved. He said indifferently,
“The Heavenly Dao has its own destiny. This last ray of Primordial Violet Qi will be obtained through individual fortune.”
After speaking, Hongjun glanced subtly at the Sanqing, focusing on Tongtian, and thought,
“These three are like three troublemakers, always messing up my good deeds. I can’t let them stay together anymore.”
Everyone heard this and thought,
“What a waste of effort, all those tears were for nothing!”
Upon hearing Hongjun say that crying was useless, everyone immediately composed themselves and sat up straight.
After the last ray of Primordial Violet Qi left Hongjun’s hand, it circled everyone and finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, slowly flew towards Tongtian.
Tongtian saw the Primordial Violet Qi flying towards him, and along with it came countless gazes filled with murderous intent.
Just as the Primordial Violet Qi was about to fall into Tongtian’s hands, Taishang lightly waved his Taiyi whisk. The ray of Primordial Violet Qi suddenly changed direction, bypassed Tongtian, and landed in Taishang’s hand.
Upon receiving the Primordial Violet Qi, Taishang felt countless killing intents locked onto him. Taishang snorted, and those in the Purple霄 Palace who harbored murderous intent towards Taishang seemed to hear a great bell ringing in their ears.
Shaken by this sound, everyone realized that the Primordial Violet Qi had fallen into Taishang’s hands.
Tongtian, seeing the Primordial Violet Qi that was originally flying towards him being snatched away by Taishang, was also filled with confusion and looked at Taishang with bewilderment!
Hongjun, seeing that the Primordial Violet Qi had not fallen into Tongtian’s hands, was also extremely surprised. He looked at Taishang deeply. Hongjun had not expected Taishang to have grown to the point where he could snatch something from him.
Although Hongjun had only slightly manipulated the Primordial Violet Qi, it was still the work of a Sage. Hongjun had not expected Taishang to break free from it!
Everyone saw that the Primordial Violet Qi had been flying towards Tongtian, but with a wave of Taishang’s whisk, it had come into Taishang’s hand. They all knew that Taishang had used unconventional means.
However, everyone was genuinely confused. Taishang had already refused Hongjun, so why would he forcefully take this ray of Primordial Violet Qi?
Taishang paid no attention to everyone’s expressions. After obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi, Taishang looked at everyone and said,
“The Great Dao has fifty, and Heaven’s decree has forty-nine. This Primordial Violet Qi should return to heaven and earth!”
Having spoken, Taishang tossed the Primordial Violet Qi in his hand towards the outside of the Purple霄 Palace. The ray of Primordial Violet Qi flew out of the Purple霄 Palace and disappeared without a trace!
Hongjun originally wanted to stop him, but he did not expect Taishang to be so fast. While he was still stunned, contemplating what Taishang would do with the Primordial Violet Qi, it had already been thrown out of the Purple霄 Palace.
By the time Hongjun wanted to make a move, the Primordial Violet Qi had already vanished!
Everyone looked at Taishang in astonishment. They never thought he would discard the foundation for becoming a Sage so readily. However, everyone was overjoyed, as Taishang’s actions gave them all a glimmer of hope.
Hongjun, on the other hand, looked at Taishang with a grim expression. The Primordial Violet Qi itself had the ability to conceal one’s aura, and with Taishang throwing it away, even if he wanted to find it, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack!
Hongjun glared at Taishang, intending to demand an explanation from him!
