Chapter 2494: The Fish Caught in the Crossfire!

Hao Tian comforted Yao Chi, telling her to focus on her duties; sooner or later, she would see Luo Fu.

As long as Luo Fu remains in Honghuang, there is no need to fear—every living being in Honghuang cannot escape the secret calculations of Zixiao Palace; in truth, Hao Tian could monitor Luo Fu's movements at any time.

But Hao Tian currently lacks this ability and must wait until Ancestor Ancestor Hongjun emerges from seclusion before he can find a way to have Ancestor Ancestor Hongjun help him develop it.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi can only slowly prepare here for now.

Zixiao Palace must not be seized by them!

Just as the current trend among the demon races shows, even Shengling Mountain has now been drawn into the war.

However, Shengling Mountain is rich in spiritual energy; once the demon races occupy it, people come every year to draw upon that spiritual energy—every little bit helps.

"Old Jun, why don't we invite the Three Pure Ones back?" Yao Chi asked curiously.

Once Master Yuanshi and Daode Tianzun return, this matter will be settled beyond doubt.

Taishang Laojun shook his head and said: "Ancestor Minghe has been watching us closely; I have assigned each of the Three Pure Ones their own territories…"

As Taishang Laojun spoke, he explained to Yao Chi and Hao Tian that these responsibilities now fall entirely upon them.

Only Yao Chi and Hao Tian can shoulder them—only then will their actions matter.

"Stop thinking of slacking off—Honghuang has already faced a great crisis; if you slack further, the Thirty-Three Heavens beyond will no longer rely on you."

"Understood," Yao Chi and Hao Tian nodded solemnly.

From that day on, Yao Chi and Hao Tian stopped bickering; instead, they grew increasingly strict—not only with themselves, but with everyone within the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Taishang Laojun was greatly pleased, yet they had not yet fully grasped control.

Luo Fu can know all things in Honghuang, but that does not mean they can—information cannot possibly cover everything.

Taishang Laojun received news much earlier, but even those reports may not be true; they must judge truth from falsehood themselves.

"It seems Honghuang is about to change its heavens!" Taishang Laojun murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, at another cave, Saint Tongtian also frowned deeply, unsure whether they should relocate this time.

The Three Pure Ones were extremely astute; seeing Saint Tongtian's expression, they guessed at least part of it.

Though they had been in seclusion cultivating, they maintained constant contact and knew much of the outside world.

"Saint Tongtian, we have stayed with you so long—we could offer you a favor, if you need it."

Saint Tongtian heard this with indifference—he had heard such words too often before; he simply did not know what they intended this time.

Jinbie Island was impossible—they would have to defend it, and if they failed, his stronghold would be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Saint Tongtian grew furious and deeply vexed.

"Why on earth must they move against Shengling Mountain?" Saint Tongtian's resentment ran deep; only he himself could find peace.

"Saint Tongtian, don't forget—the Yao Clan and the Wu Clan have never gotten along; their rift cannot be explained in a few words—we are merely the fish caught in the crossfire!"

Master Yuanshi opened his eyes and spoke calmly.
