Chapter 456: Hongjun steps forward

At this time.

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sat cross-legged on the futon, the laws flowing around his body, evolving many terrifying phenomena behind him.

He had originally taken action to help the four Saints break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

Seeing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation broken, he was just planning to re-enter meditation and peacefully merge with the Dao.

Unexpectedly, bursts of terrifying power erupted in the Chaos again.

The terrifying holy might continued to sweep through.

Hongjun frowned, secretly surprised in his heart.

"What is going on? Wasn't the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation broken?"

With doubts, he cast his gaze toward the direction of the Saints again.

Seeing Tong Tian set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation again and fighting with Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun.

The confusion in Hongjun's eyes deepened.

"Does Tong Tian still have the strength to set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?"

He discovered that Jieyin and Zhunti were not there.

Feeling three more terrifying auras surging not far away.

Hongjun cast his gaze and discovered that it was Nuwa fighting with Jieyin and Zhunti.

And Nuwa had been chasing Jieyin and Zhunti to fight.

Hongjun's expression tightened slightly, muttering to himself: "Nuwa, how did she get involved too?"

With Nuwa intervening, the four Saints could not join forces and could not severely damage Tong Tian. Letting them continue to fight was meaningless.

Especially since the Saints taking action early was already a variable; he had to step in to mediate.

Give the Chan Sect time to adjust properly, re-plan, and then deal with the Jie Sect.

Thinking of this, Hongjun's figure flashed and disappeared from the Zixiao Palace.

Deep in the Chaos.

The auras of the Saints crisscrossed, the terrifying Hunyuan power colliding with each other, making bursts of roaring sounds, sweeping through the Chaos universe.

Tong Tian set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, fiercely clashing with Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Surrounded by endless laws of the Sword Dao, inside the formation, sword shadows were heavy, diffusing a biting killing intent.

Taishang Laojun threw out the Taiji Diagram, turning it into a golden bridge, yin and yang flowing, containing endless mysteries, blocking the attacks of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, because the Pangu Banner and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag were given to Randeng Daoist and Jiang Ziya, he was not as calm as Taishang Laojun in dealing with it.

Fortunately, this time, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation set up by Tong Tian was the original Immortal-Slaying Formation map, and with the protection of the Heavens' Celebration Clouds, he could deal with it for a short time.

And not far away, Nuwa, with seven-colored rings of light flowing around her body, was chasing Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist with the power of one person.

Jieyin Daoist's Merit Golden Lotus bloomed with golden light under his feet, the Green Lotus Flag protecting his body, trying his best to resist Nuwa's attacks.

Zhunti Daoist's Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree was five-colored and brilliant, the Vajra Pestle shining with Buddha light.

Even so, the two were still beaten black and blue by Nuwa using the Red Hydrangea in her hand.

The two were furious, but could do nothing to Nuwa.

Just as the Saints were fighting vigorously, a long sigh suddenly sounded.

For a time, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, auspicious light was dazzling, and purple qi crisscrossed the universe.

In the light, Hongjun slowly descended, looking at the Saints who were fighting, his eyes indifferent.

"Stop!"

Although the voice was light, it carried endless majesty, instantly sweeping through the entire battlefield.

The Saints all felt a chill in their hearts, stopping their actions one after another, looking up in the direction the voice came from.

"Teacher."

Jieyin and Zhunti saw Hongjun appear, their eyes lighting up, wiping their faces to make themselves look more miserable, and hurriedly stepped forward, crying and complaining.

"Teacher, you have finally come; you must decide for your disciples!" said Jieyin.

Zhunti echoed: "Teacher, look at Nuwa beating my Senior Brother and me like this. We are Saints after all; where will we put our faces in the future!"

Seeing Jieyin and Zhunti use this trick again, Hongjun frowned slightly.

Even after becoming Saints, these two still had no shame.

Although he thought so in his heart, Hongjun did not speak.

His gaze looked at Nuwa.

Seeing Nuwa with nine-colored rings of light circling her, the charm of creation diffusing.

Hongjun frowned; he did not expect Nuwa's comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation to have reached such a level.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart; fortunately, he had already let Nuwa become a Saint of the Heavenly Dao, and he had already merged with the Dao, becoming the true Dao Ancestor of the Primordial; otherwise, his status might be threatened.

Thinking that he had come to mediate and could not let the Saints continue to fight.

He had to give Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti time to re-deploy to deal with the Jie Sect.

Of course, as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, he could not be biased on the surface.

Withdrawing his gaze, Hongjun scanned the Saints present and spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but resounding through the Chaos like a great bell.

"You are all Saints; you should understand the Heavenly Dao. How can you fight here because of a moment of anger? What kind of system is this?"

"Regarding the Investiture of the Gods, you should follow the results discussed in the Zixiao Palace. The disciples of the three sects enter the calamity, each according to their destiny; those who die go to the list. None of you are allowed to have complaints about this, act recklessly, or disturb the order of heaven and earth."

Facing Hongjun's gaze, Taishang Laojun nodded.

"Everything will be as Teacher says."

Yuanshi Tianzun was very reluctant, after all, several Jade Void Immortals had already died, but facing Hongjun, he could only swallow this anger.

As for Tong Tian, because he suspected that it was Hongjun who had taken action just now to help the four Saints break the enhanced Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, he already had a grudge in his heart.

But now was not the time to offend Hongjun, so he had to say.

"Teacher has come forward, so I naturally have no problem. But my Jie Sect sending the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void to the list was originally something agreed upon by the Saints when signing the Investiture of the Gods list. However, Yuanshi Tianzun, because the Jade Void Immortals were sent to the list, has come to Jinao Island to find trouble again and again. We have fought many times because of this matter. Since Teacher has come, I hope you will talk to Yuanshi Tianzun properly."

At this mention, Yuanshi Tianzun's anger surged.

"My Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals all have excellent foundations and deep blessings; how can they be compared to those fur-wearing and horn-bearing creatures of your Jie Sect? You indulge your disciples to harm my Jade Void Immortals; can this Venerable not come to you to demand an explanation?"

Tong Tian snorted coldly: "Yuanshi, you only treat those Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void as treasures. You have repeatedly insulted my disciples, but your Jade Void Immortals have been sent to the list one after another; it can only be said that the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void are trash."

Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry that his face turned blue: "Hmph, that was because they fell into the schemes of those fur-wearing and horn-bearing creatures of your Jie Sect!"

Seeing the two arguing, Hongjun spoke at the right time.

"Regarding the Investiture of the Gods, follow what was agreed upon in the Zixiao Palace. You must not cause disputes because of this matter again."

"Yes," Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tong Tian said together.

Hongjun looked at Tong Tian, his gaze lingering on him, and asked.

"Tong Tian, this time the Kongtong Seal appeared in the world, Di Xin re-established the Human Emperor position and abolished the Ren Sect; does this have anything to do with you?"

Regarding this matter, Tong Tian immediately denied it, pretending to be stupid.

"Teacher, I have never intervened in the affairs of the human race. I have no idea why the Kongtong Seal appeared. Di Xin taking back the authority of the Human Emperor and abolishing the Ren Sect is entirely his own personal behavior."

"It may be that the Ren Sect has always enjoyed the fortune of the human race, but because Taishang Laojun is quiet and does nothing, the Human Emperor wanted to abolish the Ren Sect. The Human Emperor is the emperor of the human race; I could not bear to see the Human Emperor of the human race being taken to the Fire Cloud Cave just after returning, so I took action."

Hongjun fell silent and did not answer immediately.

At this time, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who had been watching the Saints fight, stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Dao Ancestor, the return of the Human Emperor is crucial to our human race. We absolutely cannot see the Chan Sect involve the human race in order to promote the Investiture of the Gods." ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
