821: Chapter 287: Aiming at Zhunti!

Daoxian slashed the demons and specters, the Three Teachings began to merge their paths.

The death of Grey Sky King ensued, and from the West there emerged an old Daoist, riding the clouds and seated upon a Lotus Dais, his aged face filled with sorrow, void of dignity upon his features.

The space between heaven and earth echoed with the sounds of bells and drums.

All beings felt a sense of peace and harmony, bowing in reverence towards the West unconsciously.

The corpse of the giant serpent slowly pressed down upon the mountains below, Xuan Du Da Fa Shi leisurely pointed a finger, causing the serpent’s body to suddenly shrink, eventually condensed to a few zhang in length, floating in front of the clouds.

Guang Chengzi frowned and descended behind Xuan Du Da Fa Shi.

Li Ping’an gazed at the shape of the old Daoist in a trance, then stepped forward to the front of his father and master.

For it was Daoist Zhunti, the Secondary Hierarch of the Western Sect and one of the Six Great Masters of heaven and earth.

He was protected by the power of the Heavenly Dao, if it really came to a fight, his defensive capability would surely exceed that of his father and master by a great deal.

Guang Chengzi spoke, “First Senior Brother, this Secondary Hierarch does not seem to come for Magical Combat.”

“How could he engage in Magical Combat?”

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi watched the old Daoist and transmitted a laughing voice to the others, “Should we call out our master as well?

Junior Brother seemed to hesitate when he made his move just now.”

“You flatter me,” Guang Chengzi sighed, “it’s just that when I was slaying the great demon, I saw its many descendants in the cave below; my Dao heart couldn’t help but waver.”

“I see.”

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi said nothing more, turning towards Li Ping’an, his smile fading as he spoke sternly, “Be careful in your response.”

Li Ping’an started, then grasped something.

He took another step forward, coming to the front of Xuan Du Da Fa Shi and Guang Chengzi.

Two streams of Dao Charm fell from the high sky, one from the Jade Ruyi and the other from the Red Embroidered Ball, fully enveloping Li Ping’an’s form, helping him to negate all pressure coming from ahead.

From a hundred li away, Daoist Zhunti stopped, revealing a nine-tiered Treasure Wheel behind him, gathering layers of auspicious clouds around him, his figure seemed no bigger than the average person, yet also towering to hundreds of thousands of zhang.

With a single sigh from the Secondary Hierarch, no being could keep from tears streaming down their faces.

His aged voice carried a touch of sorrow as he spoke slowly, “What brings the Emperor Jun to this state?

Can there truly be no path of survival left for the Hundred Clans?”

Li Ping’an inwardly exclaimed.

This old man didn’t even offer greetings but went straight for a moral high ground.

“Why does Sect Hierarch Zhunti say so?”

Li Ping’an cupped his hands in a salute and spoke calmly, “It is probably the Western Sect that should not be leaving any path of survival for the Hundred Clans, not us.”

Daoist Zhunti said:

“Our West may not be as prosperous as the Taoist Sect, but we have also witnessed the heyday of the ancient and primeval times.

“In the primeval times, the Dragon Clan dominated heaven and earth, yet still, they offered habitats for all spirits; in ancient times, Emperor Jun suppressed various clans, yet he still provided most beings with an untroubled path.

“Why is it that the current Heavenly Court, this generation’s Heavenly Emperor, insists on driving to extinction all beings outside the Human Race?”

Li Ping’an wanted to speak but hesitated, feeling quite uneasy in his Dao heart.

It was impossible to argue.

Once entangled in self-defense, the tempo would be controlled by Zhunti.

Li Ping’an laughed freely, “If the Hundred Clans abide by the order, heaven and earth can be peaceful – isn’t this beneficial for all beings?

The old order of ancient times has long collapsed; the Western Sect’s obstruction to the unification of heaven and earth is the root of today’s chaos for the Hundred Clans.”

Daoist Zhunti furrowed his brows, looking at Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an calmly met the gaze of this one of the six victors from the ancient and primeval times.

After a brief moment, Daoist Zhunti slowly exhaled.

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart trembled, forcibly swallowing the blood that had risen to his mouth.

Debating the Dao with the Sect Hierarch, everyone had their own views, his Avenue of Azure Clouds nearly shattered with fissures.

The Great Mage sensed something unusual with Li Ping’an, smiling as he stepped forward with a salute, saying loudly, “Sect Hierarch Zhunti, for what purpose have you come?”

Li Dazhi heard these words and pondered.

Qing Su’s beautiful face was full of confusion; she indeed found the underlying meanings of these words difficult to grasp.

Daoist Zhunti had yet to speak when a yawn sounded from the west.

Immortal Taiyi was stretching lazily, swinging a gourd in his hand, within which was the tiger demon’s corpse.

Immortal Taiyi was currently standing behind Immortal Yuding, returning on clouds with Guilingling, stopping three hundred li to the west of Daoist Zhunti.

From the north shone a golden light; Jin Ling Saint Mother returned alone, leaving Immortal Huanglong and Shi Ji to deal with the giant crocodile’s corpse.

Jin Ling Saint Mother was full of murderous aura, with an eight-armed shadow appearing behind her, her tall figure enveloped in a golden radiance.

Representatives of the Human, Chan, and Jie teachings gathered!

Yet Daoist Zhunti did not look aside but gazed solely at Li Ping’an, slowly saying:

“Dao friend, you’re about to ascend the pinnacle of all beings, for the future of this vast wilderness Heaven and Earth, I wonder if there will be a place for our Western Sect.”

At this moment, Li Ping’an did not feel any pressure from the Great Dao.

What did this mean?

His thoughts raced, yet he dared not rashly promise anything.

Heaven and earth were like a chessboard, with the Great Sects at odds.

If he were to answer ‘yes,’ the Western Sect might use it to widely proclaim that the new Heavenly Emperor supported the Western Sect, and the three Hierarchs behind him would likely be displeased.

Even if he agreed with Daoist Zhunti, could Zhunti give up all his scheming?

The Western Sect’s great scheme involved the Three Thousand Worlds, affecting countless beings; alone, their previous misdeeds were already intolerable by the heavens.
