Chapter 466

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi's faces revealed expressions of worry.

Wangshu, Changxi, and Xihe also wore heavy expressions.

They had not expected that, in the blink of an eye, Nüwa and Lin Xia would reach such a point of confrontation with Hongjun.

At Mount Sumeru, Zhunti's expression was difficult to maintain, and he exclaimed:

"Senior Sister Nüwa, how does she dare?"

Breaking away from the Xuan Sect was equivalent to open defiance, completely tearing off the mask with Hongjun.

Above the Heavenly Court, Yuanshi's expression was one of astonishment; clearly, he had not expected Nüwa to be so resolute.

"Junior Sister Nüwa, is karma something that can be severed just by saying so? Your actions are far too impulsive."

Immortal Tongtian frowned and kindly advised.

Taishang Laojun, however, sneered inwardly; in his view, Nüwa breaking away from the Xuan Sect at this moment and severing karma with it was foolish in the extreme.

It would very likely enrage the Heavenly Dao and draw even more dissatisfaction from Hongjun.

Taishang Laojun spoke out in angry rebuke:

"Junior Sister Nüwa, you originated from the Xuan Sect and received the Master's teachings, only then were you able to become a Saint."

"Now, not only do you not think of gratitude and repayment, but you actually want to break away from the Xuan Sect; this is truly rebellious."

"To act so recklessly will surely bring down heavenly condemnation."

Taishang Laojun's face was cold and stern, his tone carrying a sense of unquestionable dominance.

"Old man Taishang, stop farting here."

"What my sister does, why should she listen to your words?"

Lin Xia looked at Taishang Laojun, his gaze disdainful.

"What kind of thing are you? How dare you bark wildly here?"

Taishang Laojun was instantly choked with anger.

The brat Lin Xia had ruined his opportunities many times.

And now he dared to be so insolent.

However, ultimately out of fear for Lin Xia's strength, Taishang Laojun did not speak, instead casting a hateful glance at Lin Xia.

At this moment, Hongjun's expression was extremely ugly.

He was completely stunned.

He had not expected Nüwa to be so bold as to commit such an act of rebellion right before his eyes.

He, who had always been without sorrow or joy, calm and unruffled, was now unable to control his own expression.

"Nüwa, how can you be so presumptuous?"

Hongjun scolded angrily.

"Immediately retract your oath, and there is still room for redemption."

As the Holy Mother of the human race, Nüwa possessed supreme prestige within the Honghuang world, with boundless merit and fortune upon her.

Moreover, she had a crucial influence on the human race; once she broke away from the Xuan Sect, it would affect the plans for the next several Kalpa tribulations.

It might even change the great trend of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Hongjun naturally could not tolerate it.

"No need, my mind is made up."

"Just as my brother said, the Heavenly Dao is unjust, so what is the use of obeying it?"

"From today on, I have no further connection with the Xuan Sect."

Nüwa said indifferently.

Her tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Such an act of rebellion will surely bring down heavenly condemnation."

Hongjun's expression grew even gloomier.

"Old man Hongjun, besides using the great trend of the Heavenly Dao to pressure people, what else can you do?"

"What does it matter if one breaks away from the mere Xuan Sect? Do you really think you can use this to restrict my sister? What wishful thinking!"

Lin Xia's gaze was stern as he let out a sneer.

"Presumptuous!"

"Arrogant brat, you have repeatedly defied the will of Heaven; today, I shall suppress you."

Hongjun said angrily.

In Hongjun's view, Nüwa's heart had always been indifferent; even if suppressed, she would not have committed such an act of rebellion.

Everything was because Lin Xia was fanning the flames behind the scenes.

If not for Lin Xia, things would never have developed to this extent.

In fact, just as Hongjun thought, everything today was indeed done intentionally by Lin Xia.

Lin Xia knew clearly that ever since Nüwa joined the Xuan Sect, she had been schemed against by Hongjun from beginning to end.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi at the time of becoming a Saint and the method of severing the three corpses were all absolute traps.

Furthermore, the old man Hongjun had always used other Saints to weaken the fortune and strength of the human race through various underhanded operations.

It could be said that as long as Nüwa stayed in the Xuan Sect, she would be restricted by it.

It was better to take this opportunity to let her completely sever all karma with the Xuan Sect.

As soon as the words fell, Hongjun struck ruthlessly.

In the void of the Heavenly Dao, there was constant rumbling.

Infinite power descended from the nine heavens, imbuing Hongjun's body.

For a moment, Hongjun's pressure was overwhelming, and the strength of a Saint who had merged with the Dao was fully revealed.

Subsequently, Hongjun directly summoned the Creation Jade Butterfly, evolving the laws of the Heavenly Dao; in an instant, rays of brilliant, extreme immortal light swept out, enveloping Lin Xia.
