Chapter 422 What? Do you have any objections?
Patriarch Hongjun nodded slightly, his gaze lingered on Master Tongtian for a moment, as if he was examining something.
Then, he swept his eyes over Yuanshi Tianzun and the two saints from the West, Jieyin Taoist and Zhunti Taoist, and his voice was deep and solemn:
"As saints, you should lead all living beings and set an example. But now, you are fighting here. How can this be allowed?"
When the four saints heard this, they were all shocked and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Patriarch Hongjun that seemed to be able to see through everything.
Yuanshi Tianzun hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward. His fingers trembled slightly, but he pointed firmly at Tongtian Jiaozhu, with a hint of uncontrollable anger in his voice:
"Master, the disciples of Tongtian Sect do not follow the destiny, but go against the will of heaven and hinder the great cause of conquering Shang."
"They have repeatedly killed my disciples. If this matter is not severely punished, it may encourage unhealthy trends."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hongjun frowned slightly, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all the vanity in the world, and his gaze slowly turned to Patriarch Tongtian.
Tongtian Patriarch had a calm expression, showing no fear at all. His eyes were looking directly at Hongjun Patriarch, as if he was proclaiming his innocence.
At this time, Taoist Jie Yin and Taoist Zhunti saw that Patriarch Hongjun had a gloomy face, and they were secretly anxious in their hearts.
They knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it might backfire and even affect themselves.
So, the two of them looked at each other, their inner dramas playing out wildly, and they began to quickly figure out how to distance themselves from the matter.
After a moment, the Taoist Jie Yin turned his head slightly and gave a wink to the Taoist Zhunti.
Zhunti Taoist understood, took a deep breath, and showed a look of grievance on his face. He bowed and saluted, with a tremor in his voice:
"Master, my disciple and I were just passing by here, and we didn't expect that the two of them would have an argument."
"We wanted to mediate, but after weighing the pros and cons, we had no choice but to get involved in order to maintain order. My disciple and I have no selfish motives, and I hope that Master will understand."
After hearing what the two saints from the West said, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flashed with anger. He cursed in his heart:
"Humph, your face is as thick as a city wall, so thick! No selfish motives? Just passing by? What about the spiritual treasure of the master? Did you give it to the dog?"
"You took action, aren't you just trying to get more benefits from me? Why are you pretending to be good people? Don't you care about your dignity?"
However, Yuanshi Tianzun did not show any outburst, for he knew very well that it was not a good time to fall out with the Two Saints of the West.
So he suppressed the anger in his heart, looked coldly at the two saints of the West, and said no more.
On this side, Master Tongtian's face became as gloomy as water when he heard this.
He knew in his heart that Yuanshi Tianzun was confusing right and wrong and trying to put all the blame on himself.
Tongtian Sect Master snorted coldly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said directly to Patriarch Hongjun:
"Master, the source of all this was instigated by Yuanshi. If he hadn't wanted to kill my disciples, I wouldn't have fought with him."
"He is a saint, but he wants to attack a junior. This is really disgusting. How can he be worthy of the name of a saint if he behaves like this?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hongjun frowned even more tightly.
He was well aware of the grudges between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, and also understood the complex situation hidden behind it.
However, as the supreme being in the ancient world, he must maintain relative fairness and dignity and cannot allow the situation to deteriorate further.
Tongtian Patriarch paused, turned his head and glanced at the two saints from the West, and continued:
“As for Jie Yin and Zhunti, they were simply bribed by Yuan Shi. The three of them want to join forces to deal with me. Master, please make the decision for me!”
When Jie Yin Taoist heard this, his face instantly turned livid. He glared at Tong Tian Jiao Zhu, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes:
"Tongtian, stop slandering me! If you, the disciple of Jiejiao, had not acted recklessly and against the will of heaven, why would we have intervened in this matter?"
"You, a disciple of Jiejiao, have committed many evil deeds and have already aroused the anger of the people of the prehistoric world. Do you still want to quibble?"
Taoist Zhunti also echoed, "Humph, Tongtian, we took action to uphold justice, how can we allow you to slander us like this?"
Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian laughed out of anger. His laughter echoed in the chaos, filled with endless ridicule and disdain. He said loudly:
"Haha, bullshit! This is really nonsense! How ridiculous! As saints, you are confusing right and wrong."
"Acting against the will of heaven? Ordinary cultivators may not understand the reason for the matter of the calamity. However, as saints, don't you know it?"
"If the disciples of the Chan Sect had not committed the mortal world's killing calamity, how could the calamity energy be so widespread and cause the great calamity?"
"Yuanshi only wanted to prevent his disciples from entering the mortal world to survive the tribulation and fill up the Conferred God List early, so he came up with the absurd thing of 'Phoenix sings at Mount Qishan, the Holy Lord has appeared'."
"Attack Shang? That sounds good, but what reason do you have to attack Shang? King Di Xin of Shang worked diligently and diligently, and under his rule, the country was peaceful and the people were well fed and well clothed."
"Why would you overthrow such a human emperor? Ridiculous!"
Yuanshi Tianzun was furious when he saw Tongtian Jiaozhu being so arrogant. His body shook, and spiritual power swirled around him, as if thousands of thunders were brewing in it, ready to explode at any time.
He said loudly: "Tongtian, stop talking nonsense! Everything I do is in accordance with the will of heaven."
"Besides, your disciples are of mixed quality, and most of them are of little fortune. You can take this opportunity to clean up your sect to prevent it from affecting the fortune of your Jiejiao."
Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian showed a disdainful smile on his face:
"Humph, Yuanshi, stop being so hypocritical here. Is it possible that a disciple of mine has little luck and fortune? Can a disciple with little luck and fortune cultivate to the realm of quasi-saint?"
"Your disciples of the Chan Sect are not shallow. You say that each of them is a person of great fortune and luck. So, is there a quasi-saint?"
"That's it, you have the nerve to say it out loud!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned pale. He glared at Tongtian Jiaozhu as if he wanted to eat him alive:
“Tongtian, you…you…”
"Your disciples of Jiejiao are just a bunch of rabble. How can you be compared with my disciples of Chenjiao?"
Hearing this, Master Tongtian burst into laughter, with endless mockery and contempt in his laughter, as if he was watching a clown performing.
He said: "Yuanshi, oh Yuanshi, you are such a ruthless person! When you are ruthless, you even deceive yourself. In this respect, I am not as good as you!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Tongtian Jiaozhu and couldn't say a word for a long time.
His heart was filled with endless anger and unwillingness, as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest.
Seeing this, Jie Yin and Zhunti on the side couldn't help but sigh that Tongtian had a very vicious mouth, which could kill people and hurt their hearts!
The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and worry.
However, at this moment, Patriarch Hongjun suddenly spoke. His voice was calm and majestic, as if it could calm all disputes in the world:
"That's enough! You are saints, but you keep arguing like this. How can this be allowed? I will make the final decision on this matter. You don't need to argue anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu couldn't help but feel nervous.
They knew that Patriarch Hongjun was not only their master, but also the most powerful being in the prehistoric world. Naturally, they dared not disobey his words.
Patriarch Hongjun glanced at the two of them, then at the two Western saints, and then he slowly said:
"The four of you, follow me back to Zixiao Palace. Until the calamity is over, no one of you may step out of Zixiao Palace!"
Patriarch Hongjun's voice was calm and firm, and did not allow for any rebuttal.
Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieying Taoist and Zhunti Taoist were all standing respectfully in front of Hongjun Patriarch at this moment, with a complicated look on their faces.
The Taoist Jie Yin spoke first, with a hint of hesitation and pleading in his voice:
"Master... this... doesn't have to be this way! This disciple and I will stay in Mount Xumi honestly. We will never set foot in the East until the calamity ends."
However, Patriarch Hongjun ignored the Taoist Jie Yin's plea. His gaze swept across the four people like a sharp sword, and finally stopped on the Taoist Zhunti.
When the Taoist Zhunti saw this, his heart tightened, he knew that he could no longer escape.
So, he gritted his teeth, forced out an innocent smile, and said:
"This... can we skip the trip to Zixiao Palace? Disciple... Disciple really doesn't dare to disturb Master's meditation."
However, there was no change in the expression on Hongjun Patriarch's face, and his voice remained calm and firm:
"What? Do you have any objections?"
These words exploded in the hearts of the four people like a thunderbolt, and a strong sense of fear and uneasiness surged in their hearts.
They knew that the dignity of Patriarch Hongjun could not be violated and his decision could not be changed.
