Chapter 490

In the end, he just snorted coldly, unwilling to waste more breath on them.

Casting pearls before swine.

A waste of time.

He turned to leave.

But he didn't expect Laozi to call him back.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, stay your step!"

"Why? Do you still want to have a go with me?"

"Attempting to kill my disciple Hongxuan; if he didn't have some means, he might have really been succeeded by you!"

"Now, what else is there to say between us?"

"Now that the Chan and Jie sects have ended up like this, are you satisfied?"

The Sect Leader Tongtian looked at Laozi with disgust and immediately took out the Chaos Bell for defense.

He now had a new bottom line for Laozi.

From now on, when facing Laozi, he would treat him with the utmost defensive mindset.

He would never believe a single word from the other party again.

Even if Laozi said something one hundred percent correct, he would treat it as wrong.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, the trend of the West's flourishing is now set."

"We, the Three Pure Ones, should not continue to hate each other; we should be united against outsiders!"

"What do you want to say?"

"Brother wants to plot against the West, but it requires Junior Brother Tongtian to offer a personal disciple."

"I think Duobao fits my criteria very well!"

Tongtian, hearing Laozi's words, was so angry he laughed:

"Haha, Laozi, you really have a good plan."

"You plot against the West, yet you want to use my chief disciple; in the end, whether you succeed or fail, my Jie Sect will lose a personal disciple."

"Do you really think I, Tongtian, am easy to bully?"

"Junior Brother Tongtian, all this is for the sake of the big picture!"

"Heh, then why not use your disciple Xuandu? Compared to Duobao, he doesn't seem to be inferior, right?"

"Xuandu needs to inherit my orthodoxy, how can he be lost?"

"Hmph, you are unwilling to part with Xuandu, so you want to sacrifice my disciple; as expected, you are as hypocritical as ever."

"Forget it, why am I saying this to you?"

"If you want to plot and calculate, rely on your own ability; my Jie Sect does not want to participate."

"Junior Brother Tongtian, are you really willing to give up the hatred against the Western Sect? Don't you want to save those converted Jie Sect disciples?"

"This is my Jie Sect's business, so don't bother yourself, Brother!"

"Farewell!"

Tongtian's expression was cold, and he didn't even want to look at Laozi.

With a movement of his body, he disappeared without a trace.

"Junior Brother Tongtian is truly ignorant of the big picture; for the sake of our East's future, what does it matter to sacrifice one disciple?"

Yuanshi, who was nearby, heard Laozi's complaint and sneered.

He truly had a good plan.

Unfortunately, after experiencing the Investiture, Tongtian had long seen through him.

Of course.

He, Yuanshi, also saw through this so-called Senior Brother.

Thinking that this time, the Ren Sect also seemed to have suffered quite a bit.

Many people were also converted into the West.

But Laozi didn't show any grief, as if the ones killed or converted weren't his people.

Such an indifferent attitude made even him, Yuanshi, feel extremely cold.

Perhaps only Xuandu could be valued slightly.

No, even Xuandu might not be sincere.

Xuandu might just be a chess piece for Laozi's inheritance.

Preserving Xuandu is preserving the orthodoxy.

It's that simple.

To be honest, perhaps Laozi is the truly heartless one!

"Junior Brother Yuanshi, Tongtian is ignorant of the big picture; do you agree with my approach?"

"What does Brother want to say? Do you want me to offer a disciple?"

"Who did you take a fancy to? Yuding? Lingbao? Or Huanglong? It couldn't be Yunzhongzi, right?"

Yuanshi suppressed the resentment in his heart and said word by word.

"I think Yuding fits the criteria; what do you think, Junior Brother?"

"Since Brother says so, after I return to Kunlun, I will send Yuding to Mount Shouyang!"

"I have other important matters, so I will take my leave!"

After Yuanshi said this in a deep voice, he flicked his sleeves and left directly.

He really didn't want to face Laozi.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help himself and would take out the Pangu Banner to give Laozi a hit.

Laozi looked at the departing Yuanshi, a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

Jin Ao Island.

At this moment, the remaining disciples of the Jie Sect were all gathered here.

"Junior Brother Hongxuan, this time it's all thanks to you!"

"Otherwise, I would have been sent to the Investiture List by the Saint."

"I didn't expect those Saints to be so shameless, bullying the small with the big time and again; it's truly disgraceful!"

"Yes, in the Investiture War, Senior Brother Hongxuan saved us more than once."

The Daoist Duobao and the other disciples thanked him sincerely one by one.

Although Hongxuan did it quite secretly, after they calmed down and thought it through completely.

Recalling the tribulations they had encountered before, it was not hard to find that Hongxuan had saved them more than once.

In this case, how could they not thank him?

Especially Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit; even if she were slow, she now understood that Junior Brother Hongxuan had helped her several times.

In fact, several times she had passed through death tribulations inexplicably.

Especially at the end, when she returned to Jin Ao Island from the Ten Thousand Immortals Array.

That was also Hongxuan's doing.

How could she not be grateful for the grace of saving her life several times?!

Hongxuan responded to the thanks of all his fellow disciples one by one.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

As for them being able to discover that it was Hongxuan who saved them, it was naturally because Hongxuan had consciously left clues.

Otherwise, if he did a favor without letting people know, wouldn't he have saved them for nothing?!

Although everyone was fellow disciples, some things that should be known still needed to be known.

Hongxuan was not a selfless person.

Doing a favor without expecting a reward was even more impossible.

Of course.

Hongxuan didn't care about the repayment of these Jie Sect disciples.

But this favor still needed to be kept in their hearts.

One day in the future, it might come in handy.

Hongxuan himself didn't care, but the people under him in the future could.
