Chapter 2021: Save Luo Fu!
Seeing Jieyin's expression, Zhunti understood that no matter how much he spoke, Jieyin would never agree, so he could only retreat a step.
"If that's the case, then as long as you stay here in seclusion to cultivate and say nothing, it'll do."
"Give up that idea."
Jieyin would not let him bring calamity to the Honghuang, and if he aided the Yaos, the balance with the Wus would be shattered; if he dared to help the Yaos, the Wus would stop him.
Zhunti's entire face changed, glaring at Jieyin with hatred.
He only wanted gold, silver, and treasures, and only wished to bring back more people to their homeland; if this spread, their side would gain greater prestige.
Accumulating merit originated from this, and Zhunti also wished to truly become a Saint.
Achieving sainthood through Dao-certification is extremely difficult.
Now the Yaos have given him this opportunity—if he does not seize it, how can he achieve sainthood?
Most importantly, the only thing the Yaos can offer them is vast amounts of gold, silver, and jewels, and everything they desire.
These are precisely what Zhunti wants, and precisely what Donghuang Taiyi saw through in his nature.
Whether or not the Yaos can fulfill these demands, they have already spoken—this means the Yaos possess such capability.
The Flame Mouse and the Heavenly Book Demon did not hear the quarrel between the Two Western Saints, for they had already left.
The Heavenly Book Demon's injuries were extremely severe.
Peering into the Heavenly Mandate always causes grave injury; the Heavenly Book Demon might never recover, and remain forever incapacitated.
The Rhino Demon returned with many medicinal herbs: "These are the only herbs we could find—see if they can stabilize the Heavenly Book Demon's primordial qi."
"It's useless."
The Yellow Wind Demon, watching the Heavenly Book Demon's condition, felt he was beyond saving.
Unless the Yao Emperor himself is present, or Taishang Laojun brings down an elixir, not even a single life can be saved.
But the Heavenly Book Demon has peered into too much of the Heavenly Mandate, slowly consuming his own life.
Flame Mouse: "No, it must work—we'll find a way to save you!"
"Hold on! When we return to the Yao Court, you'll survive."
Flame Mouse and the Heavenly Book Demon had fought side by side for centuries; they could not bear to lose such a fierce general at this critical moment for the Yaos.
The Heavenly Book Demon was truly powerful—he had turned the tide of battle many times.
Precisely because of the Heavenly Book Demon's presence, their side could accomplish what they set out to do, and the Yaos could properly arrange their affairs.
The Yaos will not let the Heavenly Book Demon die!
The Heavenly Book Demon, like the Wordless Heavenly Book and the Book of Fate, shared the same ability.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Book Demon had submitted to the Yaos, and the Yaos could use what he glimpsed—so long as it wasn't too great a matter, he could survive.
This time, he only glimpsed that Tian Wu and Weng Zi were coming—why?
Could it be related to Luo Fu?
"What if we take the Heavenly Book Demon to find Saint Luo Fu?"
"Are you insane?" The Yellow Wind Demon stared at Flame Mouse, who had spoken those words.
"What else can we do? Throughout the entire Honghuang, perhaps only Saint Luo Fu can save the Heavenly Book Demon."
Watching the Heavenly Book Demon's vital energy slowly fade, Flame Mouse had never felt so helpless and desperate.
