Chapter 544: Chapter 460: The Demon Clan’s Grand Conspiracy Against the Three Realms

"Of course, it was Leader Tongtian who told us through telepathy!"

Xingtian spoke up.

Empress Houtu nodded, as at this moment, only Leader Tongtian was paying attention to the Underworld.

"Now, out of the Four Great Demon Kings of the Demon Clan, only two have shown up. Since they are referred to as the Four Great Demon Kings, there must be at least two other Demon Kings hiding in the shadows. It seems the Demon Clan really has come with menacing force this time!"

Xingtian expressed gravely.

Even though she and Xingtian had injured that Prison-Suppressing King, at the Quasi-Saint level, it was feared that the opponent’s injuries could recover within half a month.

"Should anything arise in the future, you need only speak up, Empress Houtu!"

Xingtian said, bowing in respect.

"Good!"

Empress Houtu nodded.

She was naturally not polite when it came to her own people from the Shamanic Tribe.

Afterward, under the gaze of Empress Houtu, Xingtian left swiftly.

Soon, the Underworld calmed down.

The aftereffects of the Quasi-Saint battle were still vivid before Fengdu City, but those Underworld Envoys and Yin Generals acted as if nothing had happened.

Such matters were not for them, small figures, to interfere in.

In the lands of Dongshen Shenzhou far in the East, Saint Taiqing was reluctant to part with this incarnation, thinking about how to seize Wang Yang’s World Embryo while remaining in the lower realm.

But just as he had Master Xuandu go to the Expounding Teachings Sect to inquire about future plans,

he was informed by Master Xuandu upon his return that the mountain where Expounding Teachings Sect and Buddhism were located was now empty.

The incredulous Saint Taiqing personally visited and, seeing the now uninhabited palace, a sense of betrayal inevitably emerged.

"Yuanshi, how clever of you!"

Saint Taiqing’s heart surged with anger, and with a wave of his hand, the original lush green mountains turned into a wasteland.

"Honorable Master, this collusion between Expounding Teachings Sect and Buddhism must be because they were suddenly driven away by Buddhism."

"I believe Uncle Master Yuanshi must have some unspeakable difficulties. It wasn’t intentional to leave the Honorable Master out."

"Their sudden departure must have been out of necessity. I believe it won’t be more than a couple of days before Uncle Master Yuanshi will proactively reach out to the Honorable Master."

Master Xuandu chose his words carefully as he spoke, not wanting Saint Taiqing to really turn against celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Now, the Human Teachings Sect was only comprised of three Quasi-Saints, and unknowingly, they had become the weakest faction among the Three Realms.

Even the consistently suppressed Shamanic Tribe had revealed four Quasi-Saints upon their reappearance.

Human Teachings Sect had no choice but to admit they had become the weaker party.

"Hmph, a necessity, what a necessity! It must have been intentional by Yuanshi!"

Saint Taiqing was very angry, and in fact, he hadn’t guessed wrongly, Yuanshi celestial Venerable had indeed left without notifying Human Teachings Sect.

"So be it, so be it. If they are heartless, we cannot be blamed for being ruthless!"

Saint Taiqing’s eyes continuously revealed a fierce light. He was really angry about the actions of Yuanshi celestial Venerable.

"Honorable Master, please reconsider!"

Seeing Saint Taiqing like this, Master Xuandu quickly spoke out.

Human Teachings Sect now had Cutting Teachings Sect as their foremost enemy, and it really wasn’t easy to establish another strong adversary.

If they were to really stand against Expounding Teachings Sect and should Cutting Teachings Sect and Expounding Teachings Sect join hands to first take down the weak Human Teachings Sect, the millennium foundation of Human Teachings Sect might be destroyed in an instant.

This kind of scenario had occurred before, remember the battle in Beiju Luzhou not long ago? Wasn’t it aimed at resolving the weaker Cutting Teachings Sect?

If the same situation were to occur with Human Teachings Sect, Master Xuandu didn’t believe Human Teachings Sect would have the luck and strength of Cutting Teachings Sect.

"Enough, as a Saint, how could I act rashly at such a time?"

"However, thee cleanliness of Expounding Teachings Sect’s departure assuredly has some other secret behind it!"

"Since they have now departed, they might not even be in the Land of Four Continents."

"If my guess is correct, the biggest possibility is that they are above the Eastern Sea to the east of Dongshen Shenzhou!"

Saint Taiqing spoke, suppressing the anger in his heart.

His gaze penetrated layers of space, staring directly at the exact east of the Eastern Sea.

However, even though he had guessed the opponent’s location, Saint Taiqing had no plans to search.

A Saint has his pride, and since Yuanshi celestial Venerable had abandoned him first, why would he demean himself by clinging to Yuanshi celestial Venerable again?

"Xuandu, go and probe the intentions of Wa Huang Palace and see if anything significant has happened in the Three Realms during this time."

"If Wa Huang Palace doesn’t have any information, check out Southern Continent Jambudvipa."

"Be careful not to be discovered by Tongtian."

Saint Taiqing instructed Master Xuandu.

For some reason, he had an ominous premonition.

"Yes!"

Master Xuandu saluted Saint Taiqing respectfully and then transformed into a rainbow to depart.

"A storm is coming!"

Saint Taiqing, gazing at the lands of Dongshen Shenzhou, couldn’t help but sigh.

...

Above the Eastern Sea, after Wu Tian had departed, Tongtian appeared beside Wang Yang.

"Just as the celestial Sect Leader had speculated, Ksitigarbha King is indeed a member of the Demon Cult!"

Wang Yang spoke up.

Just earlier, when something happened in the Underworld and Empress Houtu left, Tongtian had made this conjecture, though it hadn’t been confirmed yet.

"Poor Daoist had not anticipated this; it seems we should investigate the whereabouts of the Expounding Teachings Sect folks!"

Leader of the Tongtian Sect’s brow furrowed slightly!

Originally, Tongtian had not taken to heart the departure of the people from Expounding Teachings Sect and Buddhism.

But upon learning from Wu Tian that Ksitigarbha actually belonged to the Demon Clan, whether the departure of the two teachings was to seclude themselves from the world or to side with the Demon Clan was now up for debate.

It might even affect the direction of the Three Realms subsequently.

"Does celestial Venerate have any speculation on their whereabouts?"

The vastness of the Three Realms was not something they could easily investigate.
