Chapter 321: Saint Taiqing

The Saint's strength is beyond doubt.

The Ten Volumes Samsara Scripture emitted a powerful samsaric force, causing many present to feel shocked.

However, no matter how great this power is, before a Saint it is merely something that can be extinguished with a snap of the fingers.

But just as the Ten Volumes Samsara Scripture was about to be repelled, suddenly, as the Six Paths Samsara Disk turned, strands of powerful samsaric force gradually merged into the scripture.

In an instant, the golden runes that had already shattered reassembled.

The mighty samsaric might once again pressed upon Zhunti Dao Ren.

"Hou Tu, what do you mean by this?"

If it were only to deal with King Dizang, Zhunti Dao Ren would feel no pressure at all.

But with the support of the Six Paths Samsara Disk's power, even Zhunti Dao Ren felt somewhat troubled.

"I have said before that King Dizang holds part of the authority over the underworld's samsara; he is my underworld's subject. If you wish to act against him, I will naturally not stand by idly."

Hou Tu Niangniang said.

"You…"

In an instant, Zhunti Dao Ren's face turned extremely grim.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

As Zhunti Dao Ren's words fell, the Seven Treasure Wondrous Tree immediately appeared.

Countless branches rose from the Blood Sea, and in an instant the vast Blood Sea was completely shrouded by this glazed tree.

But just as Zhunti Dao Ren was about to act, the ever‑silent Saint Taiqing pointed a finger from the void.

Immediately afterward, a huge Taiji Diagram appeared.

Wherever the Taiji Diagram passed, the forest transformed from the Seven Treasure Wondrous Tree was directly crushed.

At the same time, a sphere formed by the Taiji Diagram enclosed two figures—namely the Rakshasa Woman and the child in her arms.

On the other side, after bearing such a terrifying blow, Zhunti Dao Ren's face instantly turned deathly pale, and even his Dharma Aspect became unstable.

"Senior Brother Taiqing, you…"

Jieyin Dao Ren was both shocked and angry, and just as he was about to act, he met the emotionless eyes of Saint Taiqing.

"Get lost!"

Finally, Saint Taiqing uttered a single word, causing Jieyin Dao Ren's face to flush white then red.

A Saint must not be insulted, but if faced with an even greater Saint, what could he do?

Meanwhile, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu shook his head helplessly; he knew full well that his master's utterance of "Get lost" carried no intent to humiliate Jieyin Dao Ren.

This was merely the reply Saint Taiqing had pondered for a long time, the most suitable response to Jieyin Dao Ren.

However, to Jieyin Dao Ren it was clearly an insult.

Yet even knowing it was merely a misunderstanding, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu had no intention to explain.

This is the foundation of Saint Taiqing.

Even when faced with misunderstandings from other Saints, no explanation is needed.

"Saint Taiqing, you…"

A ferocious flicker crossed Zhunti Dao Ren's face, but before he could finish speaking, Saint Jieyin reached out and cut him off.

"Junior Brother Zhunti, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti Dao Ren's expression changed, but in the end he remained silent and, together with Jieyin Dao Ren, vanished into the vast clouds and mist.

This time, Hou Tu Niangniang did not intervene to stop them.

She knew well that, facing the Two Sages of the West alone, she would not be defeated, but to hope for victory was absolutely impossible.

Furthermore, the Western Teaching suffering such a loss this time could be counted as avenging the grudge of that day.

"Those two dead bald donkeys, how did they just run away?"

Just then, Wen Dao Ren said with a dissatisfied expression.

Upon hearing this, the White Lotus Child and the Western Teaching disciples behind him all turned grim.

After all, they dared not call the Two Sages of the West 'dead bald donkeys'.

But at this moment, the White Lotus Child and his companions dared not even breathe loudly.

There was no choice; even the Two Sages of the West had been soundly beaten, and now they were thinking only of how to escape these formidable people, not wasting time on whether the Two Sages were bald donkeys.

After the Two Sages of the West departed, Saint Taiqing glanced at Hou Tu Niangniang and began to ponder carefully.

Meanwhile, Hou Tu Niangniang also stared back.

"This shall not happen again!"

After a while, all that was heard was Saint Taiqing leaving these three words before fading away on the spot.

Watching the spot where Saint Taiqing vanished, Hou Tu Niangniang's face showed a pensive look.

"It seems he already knows, yet he does not appear to be preparing to do anything—is it absolute confidence in his own strength?"

Just then, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu bowed to Hou Tu Niangniang.

"Also inform Holy Mother Hou Tu that the Rakshasa Woman and her child must be taken away, as my master has ordered."

After glancing at Grand Dharma Master Xuandu, Hou Tu Niangniang remained silent.

Receiving no reply, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu smiled, flicked his finger, and released a surge of magical power, intending to take the Rakshasa Woman and the Red Boy from the Blood Sea.

But what Grand Dharma Master Xuandu never expected was that his magical power passed straight through the Rakshasa Woman and the Red Boy as if they were not there.

"How could this be?"

Seeing this, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu widened his eyes in disbelief.

Immediately afterward, he launched several more bursts of magical power.

Yet without exception, his magical power failed to touch the Rakshasa Woman and the Red Boy in the slightest, as if this mother‑and‑child pair did not exist at all.

Helpless, the Grand Master of Xuan Du could only seek help from his own master.

A flicker of spiritual light flashed at his fingertip; quickly, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Great Clarity Sage received the report from this side's Grand Master of Xuan Du.

Pinching a seal with his fingers, within the Great Clarity Sage's eyes, it seemed as if worlds were being born and destroyed.

After a few breaths, only a soft doubt was heard from the Great Clarity Sage's mouth.

"Impressive means, not bad!"

This time, the Great Clarity Sage did not ponder for too long, and quickly gave a reply to the Grand Master of Xuan Du——

"Not in this world, return!"

Upon receiving this reply, the Grand Master of Xuan Du couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, he took a deep look at the Rakshasa woman and the Red Boy in her arms, then promptly paid respects to Hou Tu Niangniang, and then vanished on the spot.

"Alright, nothing exciting to watch, let's go too!"

Seeing the Grand Master of Xuan Du leave, Wen Dao Ren waved his hand, preparing to take White Lotus Child and others away.

But before she could act, a large hand suddenly appeared beneath her feet, grasping her in its palm.

"Sage, please spare her!"

White Lotus Child was greatly anxious, quickly pleading.

No way, this parachuted Protector of the Teaching Dharma King is his direct superior; if she encounters trouble, these people will likely face punishment.

Of course, the most important point is, in White Lotus Child's view, the other party is a sage, and logically should not quarrel with these juniors.

However, facing White Lotus Child's plea, Hou Tu Niangniang merely coldly looked at them and said, "You can scramble, but her, I still have matters to inquire about."
