Chapter 864: The Four Sects Go to War

Primordial West.

Lingshan.

Tongtian Jiaozhu stood suspended in the void, his expression cold and stern, his entire body radiating an extremely oppressive aura.

Countless Shengling Sword Sword Sword were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.

Jieyin Daoren sighed. He took a step forward, arriving high in the sky, and pressed his palms together: "Third Senior Brother, please calm your anger. This matter was my Junior Brother's mistake; it was an instinctive reaction earlier, and he had no intention of breaking the rules."

Zhunti Daoren also arrived high in the sky.

Yet, compared to the polite demeanor of Jieyin Daoren, he appeared indifferent.

So what?

If Yuanshi Tianzun can do it, why can't I?

The Immortal Execution Sword formation is powerful, unbreakable without four Saints.

But the Immortal Execution Sword formation leans more toward defense; with the two brothers joining forces, they had absolutely no fear of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Besides, they had now joined forces with Yuanshi Tianzun.

At worst, they could call upon Yuanshi Tianzun, have the four of them gang up on Tongtian Jiaozhu, and end the Fengshen War early.

Tongtian Jiaozhu sneered: "No intention of breaking the rules? How do you explain the five Buddhist Golden Immortals in the Xiqi camp? Back at Zixiao Palace, you both made every excuse to firmly refuse participation in the Fengshen."

Jieyin Daoren's expression remained unchanged as he said: "Third Senior Brother, when the Investiture of the Gods was signed, I did not agree, but later when we discussed whether or not to be on the list, it all depended on individual destiny; I did not oppose it either."

As a Saint, he disdained to lie.

But debating, that was still possible.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was so angry he laughed: "So, your Buddhism has also decided to participate?"

Before Jieyin Daoren could speak, Zhunti Daoren nodded: "Is that not allowed?"

"Of course it is!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu's expression turned icy, and he said coldly: "Let's not talk about that. Zhunti, as a Saint, you shamelessly attacked my grand-disciple. Let's go, let us head to Chaos to settle this."

"If you win, it means I am incompetent, and this matter ends here."

"If you lose, you will inevitably receive a beating."

Zhunti Daoren said with shame and anger: "Tongtian, stop spouting big words. A fight is a fight; do you think I am afraid of you?"

Jieyin Daoren wanted to stop them, but the two had already rushed toward the outer heavens.

"Sigh!"

Jieyin Daoren sighed, not following them.

In any case, Saints are immortal and indestructible; even if Zhunti is no match, it would only mean losing a bit of face.

The earlier reckless interference meant he had to give Tongtian an explanation.

………

"What is happening? Tongtian Saint's sword Qi is piercing through the vast sky of Honghuang? I was scared to death, thinking Honghuang was going to be destroyed!"

"The sword Qi is heading toward the West; could it be something the Western Two Sages stirred up?"

"Latest news: Before Jiepai Pass, Yin Shang launched a surprise attack on Xiqi, but they didn't expect that there were five Buddhist Golden Immortals in the Xiqi army, and four of them were nearly burned to death by Huoling Shengmu; it was Saint Zhunti who intervened."

"No way, Huoling Shengmu is Saint Tongtian's grand-disciple, how could Saint Zhunti have the nerve to intervene?"

"Shouldn't everyone be more concerned about why Buddhist Golden Immortals would appear in the Xiqi army? Doesn't this mean that Buddhism has also decided to participate in the Fengshen War?"

"Hiss, this Fengshen War is going to involve four Saints!"

"Good heavens, Saint Jieyin even said the West wouldn't be affected by the Fengshen War; now we have nowhere to go, Ghost knows what will happen."

"Latest news: Tongtian Jiaozhu has descended upon Lingshan to hold Zhunti accountable; the two have now headed to Chaos, saying they are going to settle it with a fight."

"What a pity, what a pity, we can't see the Saints fight."

"Fellow Daoist, you have guts! You actually want to see Saints fight; you must be a nine-lived Demon cat to have nine lives."

……

The internet was already boiling.

Those who had originally wanted to head to the West no longer had that thought.

Everything was fine, and now your Buddhism is participating in the Fengshen War, and you still want us to go there? To die?

At the same time, many cowards also scrambled to find places to hide.

Those who could hide in small boundaries did so; those who couldn't simply ascended to the Immortal World, or fled to the Four Seas to find a remote island to hide on. Those with nowhere to hide could only leave it to fate.

……

Zhaoge.

Imperial Palace.

Zichen Hall.

"Buddhism has actually sent Golden Immortals to join the war."

Yin Qi's expression was grave.

Among All Sects, the Jie Sect has the most Golden Immortals, but the Chan Sect and Buddhism combined exceed the Jie Sect.

Zhunti and Jieyin sending people to join the war was beyond his expectations.

However, generally speaking, it is not a big problem.

Although Buddhism sent people to join the war, only Lingji came as an Inner Disciple; the other four are just there to make up the numbers.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book... please...!

Furthermore, Jieyin and Zhunti will not unconditionally support the Chan Sect.

These five people are likely the limit.

This Tongtian Jiaozhu has truly awakened; as soon as Zhunti Daoren interfered, he went to Lingshan to block the door, dragging Zhunti Daoren to Chaos to fight.

From now on, the Western Two Sages should be much better behaved and will not easily make a move.

In fact, Yin Qi had considered making a move in secret to slay Lingji and the other four to alleviate some pressure on the Jie Sect, but after some thought, he gave up on the idea to avoid alerting the various Saints.

As for the Fengshen War, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Three days later.

Tongtian Jiaozhu and Zhunti Daoren both returned to Honghuang; although no one knew the outcome, some news leaked from within Buddhism: Zhunti Daoren's expression was not good after he returned.

It seems that Zhunti Daoren must have been beaten up.

However, thinking about it, it is normal, as whether in terms of cultivation or Spirit Treasure, Zhunti Daoren cannot compare to Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Although they are both Saints, there are still differences in their levels.

On the very day he returned to Golden Turtle Island, Tongtian Jiaozhu issued a decree: starting from today, the Jie Sect and Buddhism shall engage in total war.

That same day, a large number of newly built temples across Honghuang were wiped out by the Jie Sect.

The Jie Sect's declaration of war on Buddhism caused the Fengshen War to escalate once again, and Honghuang became even more chaotic, especially since Tongtian Jiaozhu also issued a decree ordering the Seven Attendant Immortals and all Outer Disciple and inner sect disciples to join the war.

This meant that Tongtian had become ruthless, sending out all forty-plus Golden Immortal disciples of the sect.

One must know that previously, because the Chan Sect had united various parties to deal with the Jie Sect, the Jie Sect was already at a disadvantage even before the Golden Immortals had made a move, let alone now that they had declared war on Buddhism as well.

If the Jie Sect wants to win, it must dispatch Golden Immortal and even Great Luo Golden Immortal level combatants.

Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu are all Great Luo Golden Immortals; their intervention easily crushed several large coalition armies of the Chan Sect and its allies, slaying hundreds of Mysterious Immortals and three Golden Immortals from various sects, causing the Jie Sect's momentum to surge instantly.

Upon learning the news, Yuanshi Tianzun was furious.

What is Tongtian Jiaozhu trying to do? Sending out all his Golden Immortals would be one thing, but he actually had Great Luo Golden Immortals like Duobao Daoren make a move; this has completely escalated the Fengshen War.

However, since Tongtian Jiaozhu has made a move, how could he just sit back and take a beating?

Thus, Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly rushed to the Eight Views Palace.

Laozi sighed and said, "Why has it come to this? Why has it come to this? The Fengshen War was originally meant only to appease Haotian, yet I did not expect it to develop to such a state.

Enough, enough.

I shall have Xuandu lead eighteen Golden Immortals down the mountain."

Although Laozi agreed to intervene, counting Antarctic Immortal and Xuandu Dafa Shi, that is still only two Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Thus, Yuanshi Tianzun went to Western Spirit Mountain.

After paying a certain price, the Western Two Sages also agreed to dispatch one Great Luo Golden Immortal and ten Golden Immortals.

From then on.

The Jie Sect engaged in a total war against the three sects of the Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, and Buddhism. (End of chapter)
