Chapter 455: The struggle begins again

Gu Xiu looked respectful, bowed humbly, and responded softly.

His figure slowly retreated toward the endless Chaos behind him, disappearing into it.

Finding a relatively safe position, he watched the Saints in the distance.

He felt a bit excited in his heart.

After all, this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to witness a battle of Saints.

Apart from the phantom images projected by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he was the only audience member currently on the scene.

Taishang Laojun glanced in the direction Gu Xiu had left, a flash of deep confusion in his eyes.

Why did Nuwa value a disciple of the Jie Sect so much?

Thinking that Nuwa had come with Gu Xiu and even let Gu Xiu stay by her side.

Taishang Laojun pondered for a moment.

He had a rough guess in his heart.

Nuwa coming to help Tong Tian must be related to this child.

But Taishang Laojun racked his brains, thinking left and right, but could never understand.

How Gu Xiu persuaded Nuwa to come and help Tong Tian.

You must know that before, in order to drag Nuwa into the Investiture of the Gods, the four Saints had used the matter of Di Xin offering incense to plot against her.

Yuanshi Tianzun saw Tong Tian and Nuwa value a disciple so much, and his brows could not help but knit tightly.

He knew all four of the Jie Sect's personal disciples.

But Gu Xiu was not a personal disciple, and he hadn't heard that Tong Tian had taken on a new personal disciple.

He really didn't understand why Tong Tian would care so much about an ordinary disciple.

Thinking of the previous time the Jade Void Immortals were sent to the list by the Jie Sect, he had gone to Jinao Island several times to demand that Tong Tian hand over the culprit.

But Tong Tian insisted on protecting that disciple, even at the cost of fighting him.

Yuanshi Tianzun roughly knew Gu Xiu's identity in his heart.

Suddenly, a surge of anger rushed to his heart.

"Tong Tian, the disciple you have repeatedly protected before is this junior, right?" Yuanshi Tianzun glared, questioning Tong Tian loudly.

Facing Yuanshi Tianzun's questioning, Tong Tian remained calm.

"As the leader of the Jie Sect, protecting my disciples is a matter of course and only right."

Yuanshi Tianzun suppressed the anger that was about to erupt, squeezing a few words through his teeth.

"Very well, we'll see how you protect him later."

At the same time, Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist looked at each other and transmitted their voices.

"Senior Brother, does that junior of the Jie Sect have an affinity with our West, in your opinion?" Zhunti Daoist smiled cunningly.

Jieyin Daoist frowned, falling into a brief thought.

They had seen Gu Xiu with the Three Xiao sisters from afar before, but because he was a third-generation disciple, they didn't take him to heart at all.

But from Tong Tian's emphasis, he could roughly guess that the various movements caused by the Jie Sect recently might all be related to this child.

"This child has an affinity with our West. When the Investiture of the Gods ends, we must bring this child to our West."

Zhunti laughed: "Great!"

Gu Xiu was originally watching the upcoming battle of the Saints.

But he discovered that all four Saints were casting their gazes at him.

Gu Xiu's brows tightened slightly.

It seemed the four Saints had other ideas about him.

Especially Yuanshi, whose gaze made him want to tear him to pieces.

Fortunately, he had a trump card in his hand; otherwise, he wouldn't have come with Nuwa.

According to what Nuwa and Tong Tian had discussed.

Nuwa took action to deal with Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist, holding them back and not letting the four Saints join forces.

Tong Tian saw this and no longer hesitated.

He set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation again.

In the sword formation, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Immortal-Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal-Trapping Sword, and the Immortal-Ending Sword appeared and disappeared, emitting a terrifying aura that destroyed the world.

But because he had just suffered a backlash, what he set up was the original Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

Seeing Tong Tian set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation again, Taishang Laojun's expression tightened slightly, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda appearing above his head, mysterious runes flickering around his body, and the Taiji Diagram in his hand unfolding, the yin and yang qi flowing endlessly, forming a golden bridge that spanned between heaven and earth, with magnificent momentum.

Above Yuanshi Tianzun's head, the Heavens' Celebration Clouds bloomed with ten thousand rays of light, golden lotuses, tassels, and hanging pearls falling from the sky, five-colored light appearing suddenly, and the eight-tone immortal music resounding through the universe. ===== CHAPTER 456 =====
