Chapter 159: The Four Saints Gather, Deducing the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Outside Wahuang Palace!

Space twisted, and the figures of the Three Pure Ones stepped out from within.

"Greetings to the three Saints!"

At the same time, Jin Feng, who was guarding the exterior, stepped forward to pay respects.

"Hmm~"

Nodding, Laozi said indifferently: "Go and inform Junior Sister Nuwa that the three of us have come to visit!"

"Yes!"

Responding with a sound, Jin Feng turned around, preparing to go and report.

"No need."

However, before Jin Feng could take a step, Nuwa's voice rang out first: "Three Senior Brothers, come in!"

Following the sound, one could see that Nuwa was already standing in the area at the palace entrance.

Noticing the gaze of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa nodded at them before turning and walking into the hall.

Seeing this, Jin Feng bowed to the Three Pure Ones and then walked off to the side.

The Three Pure Ones did not linger either, stepping forward to follow her inside.

……

"I wonder what brings the three Senior Brothers here?"

Inside the great hall, after the Three Pure Ones were seated, Nuwa asked curiously.

The Three Pure Ones appearing together was definitely not a simple matter.

At least as far as the present was concerned, Nuwa had never encountered a situation where the Three Pure Ones appeared together without something major happening.

Precisely because of this, the doubt and curiosity in Nuwa's heart reached their peak.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, the matter is urgent, so we came in a hurry without regard for anything else!"

Laozi waved his hand, then with a solemn expression, recounted the story of the Flood Dragon Clan falling into the Demon Path, the people of the Demon Path invading and ravaging the Human Race, and their subsequent annihilation by Lin Fan and his companions.

"The Demon Path has revived!"

"How could this be!"

After hearing Laozi's account, Nuwa's expression also turned grave.

It was for no other reason than the unique nature of the Human Race.

Even though she was a Saint of the Demon Race, Nuwa held nearly one-third, if not more, of the Human Race's destiny.

If something were to happen to the Human Race, the impact on Nuwa would be even greater than that on the Three Pure Ones.

Thinking of this, Nuwa understood why the Three Pure Ones had come here.

She immediately took the Demon Summoning Banner from her bosom, waved it a few times, and said slowly: "Big Brother, bring the Demon Emperor's River Map and Luo Scroll to Wahuang Heaven; I need to borrow them for a while!"

After doing all this, Nuwa looked at the Three Pure Ones and said: "Three Senior Brothers, could it be that even with the three of you joining forces, you cannot calculate it?"

"We cannot!"

Shaking his head, Laozi said solemnly: "The heavenly secrets that fellow has obscured are beyond the reach of even a Saint's calculations; if the three of us were to join forces to peer into it, it would naturally attract his attention."

"If we could obtain the information directly, that would be one thing, but if we fail, he will certainly become aware and completely obscure the existence of all this, and then we would have no possibility of investigating further."

"Therefore, only by ensuring absolute certainty can we act together to calculate it, so that we may obtain more complete information and find the mastermind behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Nuwa nodded.

She truly hadn't thought of this point, but she had to admit that Laozi's words were correct.

Just like that, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa began to wait inside Wahuang Palace.

After about an hour or so, Fuxi arrived at Wahuang Palace, travel-worn, carrying the River Map and Luo Scroll.

"Little Sister, I~"

He called out subconsciously, but Fuxi quickly realized something was wrong.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones sitting there, Fuxi immediately swallowed his subsequent words, then came to the hall area and bowed: "Fuxi pays respects to the three Saints!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

Hearing this, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian also nodded at Fuxi.

Although he was not a Saint.

His status was special; not only was he the Xi Emperor of the Demon Race, but he was also Nuwa's own older brother, so the proper respect had to be given.

"Sister, here you go!"

After the simple greeting, Fuxi walked to Nuwa's side with the River Map and Luo Scroll.

After handing them to Nuwa, Fuxi asked curiously: "What has happened?"

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

Taking the River Map and Luo Scroll, Nuwa immediately handed them over to Laozi.

Following that, she briefly recounted the matter of the Human Race and the Demon Path.

"Hiss~"

After hearing Nuwa's account, Fuxi couldn't help but gasp.

The Demon Path had revived!

The entire Flood Dragon Clan had fallen into the Demon Path.

This matter was truly shocking, and at the same time, he understood the gravity of the situation.

If any accident were to occur and the Human Race were harmed, both Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones would be affected, potentially suffering huge losses.

Thinking of this, Fuxi immediately said: "Three Saints, if there is a need, my Demon Race can also lend a helping hand!"

Hearing this, the Three Pure Ones glanced at Fuxi.

Although it would be much simpler with the Demon Race joining in, the favor owed would be too great, and that does not align with their interests.

Thinking of this, Laozi immediately spoke: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, there is no need!"

"With the existence of the River Chart and Luo Book, combining the power of four Saints is enough to get to the bottom of this!"

"However, you will still need to guard Wahuang Palace for a period of time, Fellow Daoist; after all, our deduction cannot be disturbed."

"Very well!"

Giving his word, Fuxi did not dare to delay.

He bowed to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, saying: "In that case, I shall go outside to keep watch!"

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the outside of the room.

After Fuxi left, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Laozi all stood up and stepped forward, saying: "Junior Sister Nuwa, let us begin!"

"Very well!"

Giving her word, Nuwa also stepped forward.

Very quickly, the four of them gathered in the central area of the great hall.

"Go!"

Laozi took the lead, directly throwing out the River Chart and Luo Book.

The next second, the vast and magnificent power of a Saint from his entire body was injected directly into it.

"Open!"

At the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Empress Nuwa also struck fiercely.

The power of the four Saints surged into the River Chart and Luo Book, and in an instant, with the sound of trickling water, the River Chart and Luo Book transformed into a massive Luo River at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under the influence of the Saints' great power, the Luo River transformed rapidly, turning into a Heavenly Secret Divine River.

Immediately following, the four of them—Laozi and the others—went all out, beginning to mobilize their power to deduce information regarding the person behind the scenes.

Time flew by, the Divine River churned incessantly, and a continuous stream of information began to emerge from within; under these circumstances, the sweat on the foreheads of Laozi and the others became more and more abundant.

As time passed, the Divine River suddenly shattered.

With a 'Bang!', the central area of the Divine River collapsed, and a mass of demonic energy, black as ink, quietly emerged, subsequently striking toward Laozi and the others like a giant hand.

"Not good!"

Seeing this situation, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Empress Nuwa all had their expressions change.

With no time to care about anything else, the four of them immediately summoned their respective Lingbao for defense.

In an instant, treasure light overflowed.

Treasures such as the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda, Jade Ruyi, Heavens-Celebrating Clouds, Shanhe Sheji Map, and Qingping Sword appeared directly and collided with that black giant hand.
