Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation
Chapter 404 - 284: Saint Takes Action_2

Chapter 404: Chapter 284: Saint Takes Action_2

In such circumstances, the Twelve Ancestor Witches naturally wouldn’t be in a good mood.

...

Penglai Immortal Island.

East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals from the Immortal Court suddenly appeared on an open space on Penglai Immortal Island.

Their faces still carried expressions of terror, the feeling of being on the verge of life and death, even upon arriving at Penglai Immortal Island, their expressions had not changed.

After a long time, the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals sensed a familiar aura, the aura of Penglai Immortal Island.

Only then did they start to relax.

The four Primordial Golden Immortal beings and one Quasi-Saint being collapsed to the ground without any image of dignity.

They felt utterly exhausted.

From the moment they stepped out of Penglai Immortal island, they had never stopped.

Following East King in pursuit of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Then, they assisted East King in confronting Demon Master Kun Peng from the Demon Clan, competing for the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

After the disappearance of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation collided with the Complete Heaven Stars Formation, and the casualties of the Immortal Court were countless.

The five of them were also severely injured by Donghuang Taiyi; they didn’t know how long they would need to recover.

Under these circumstances, they were also facing a life-and-death crisis brought by the Twelve Ancestor Witches, and their minds had never relaxed, truly wearied to the core.

Now that they had arrived on Penglai Immortal Island, their hearts could finally settle down.

"Hahaha..."

East King, seeing everyone’s disheveled appearance, couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.

Of course, the reason he laughed was not because of their disheveled state, but because of the excitement and joy of surviving the calamity.

He even seemed somewhat deranged.

Deep down, he knew very well that logically, with his condition at that time, he had absolutely no way to counter or dodge the heavy blows from Pangu’s Illusion, and the only path left was death and the dissipation of his Dao.

Yet now, he had managed to avoid it and even appeared out of nowhere on Penglai Immortal Island.

Not just him, the four Primordial Golden Immortal beings under his command had also dodged it.

His heart was clear as a mirror, knowing that if it weren’t for those few people taking action, who else could have such capability?

What truly made him ecstatic was this point, which meant that the Saints would not allow the Immortal Court to perish.

This meant that a Saint also stood behind the Immortal Court; how could he not be happy?

A blessing in disguise.

At this moment, East King was extremely happy, as if consuming such a great deal of suffering, was worth it to gain the support of even one Saint.

He even couldn’t help thinking that if the four Primordial Golden Immortals under his command were all annihilated, perhaps the support of the Saints for the Immortal Court would grow even stronger.

Meanwhile, the four Primordial Golden Immortals were still feeling fortunate they could survive and hadn’t thought so far ahead.

Ultimately, these four beings were practicing the old laws, and they were more interested in the methods to enlightenment by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and Emperor Jun.

Unfortunately, neither Emperor Jun nor Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had ever mentioned this.

...

Shouyang Mountain.

Tai Ching Laozi sat upright on the mountaintop; in front of him was the scene of East King laughing heartily.

His face was expressionless, but his gaze was distant.

This intervention, letting East King of the Immortal Court know his bottom line, was not necessarily a good thing.

What he wanted was for the Immortal Court to become a handy tool, not something that could threaten him.

It was he, the hidden hand, the Saint who saved East King and those four Primordial Golden Immortal beings, and it was precisely Tai Ching Laozi.

After the Demon Clan’s Donghuang Taiyi and the Immortal Court’s East King left the Blood Sea, he knew that the struggle for the Hongmeng Purple Qi had come to a conclusion.

He had stopped focusing on it.

However, he didn’t expect that shortly after East King left the Blood Sea, the aura of Pangu emerged above the East Sea.

Simultaneously, his eyes pierced through space and fell upon Pangu’s Illusion.

With Pangu’s Illusion appearing, the momentum was enormous; Tai Ching Laozi naturally could feel it in an instant.

Not just Tai Ching Laozi, but other Saints and Emperor Jun also instantly felt the manifestation of this Pangu’s Illusion.

When Tai Ching Laozi’s gaze turned towards the illusion of Pangu, he just saw that the illusion was swinging its fist, trying to obliterate East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals.

Because the event occurred in an instant, Tai Ching Laozi did not hesitate at all, the Tai Chi Diagram appeared beside him, and with the use of spatial displacement, he relocated East King and his four Primordial Golden Immortal beings to Penglai Immortal Island.

It was precisely because of this that the Witch Clan failed to kill East King.

The Witch Clan’s third chance to destroy the Immortal Court had once again failed.

With the intervention of a saint, what could be done?

All three opportunities for the Witch Clan to destroy the Immortal Court were thwarted by Tai Ching Laozi.

The Immortal Court could not be destroyed at this time.

That was the thought in Tai Ching Laozi’s mind.

If the Immortal Court were destroyed, the Witch Clan would have no restrictions and might become a second Witch Clan.

In such a case, the Demon Clan dominating the heavens and the Witch Clan the earth, the influence of the six saints in the Primordial world would be severely squeezed.

This also meant that his own influence would be weakened.

The Six Saints ruling the heavens and promoting education would then become even more of a distant hope.

It was with this thought that Tai Ching Laozi personally intervened.

And given the urgent situation, his personal intervention was the best choice.

However, since this was a sudden event, Tai Ching Laozi could not achieve perfection.

He could only save East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals, but could not conceal his own action, or rather, had no time to hide it.

In the eyes of the twelve Ancestor Witches, along with East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals, East King and others disappeared without a trace, unnoticed by anyone.

But for beings of the same realm, they could all see Tai Ching Laozi’s intervention.

After all, the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation was related to Pangu, naturally drawing everyone’s attention.

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Shangqing Lingbao Venerate, seeing their brother take action, could not help but delve into deep thought.

On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint exchanged glances without speaking.

On Feng Qi Mountain, Nuwa Saint, with a profound look, glanced at Penglai Immortal Island and instantly understood Tai Ching Laozi’s thought.

Six Saints Control Heaven, these six saints, naturally understood Tai Ching Laozi’s thought even more clearly.

...

Taiyin Star.

When Di Jun saw Tai Ching Laozi intervene, after a brief thought, he understood Tai Ching Laozi’s intention.

It was nothing more than wanting to use the Immortal Court to restrict the development of the Witch Clan, to prevent the Witch Clan from becoming too powerful.

And under such circumstances, the Witch Clan did not possess a good capability to resist.

The Witch Clan lacked saint-level beings to oversee, which was the greatest disadvantage of the Witch Clan.

In this moment, Di Jun could not help but think back to the first time he and Donghuang Taiyi had visited the Witch Clan.

Back then, the confrontation formed by him and the Twelve Ancestor Witches in the Twelve Great Heaven Array was met by Hong Jun suddenly becoming a saint, his suppression spreading across the entire Primordial.

A massive palace appeared, capable of shielding against Hong Jun’s suppression.

Thinking this, an idea surfaced in Di Jun’s mind.

The Witch Clan wasn’t completely without a trump card, just uncertain of how much damage it could cause to a saint.

Di Jun sent a message to Donghuang Taiyi, who had just returned to the Sun Star, asking him to reveal the matter of Tai Ching Laozi rescuing East King during his next visit to the Witch Clan.

This was all Di Jun could do although it concerned the crucial competition over the Primordial Continent.

Yet, for the Demon Clan, this was not a significant matter, as the Demons had never considered intervening in the rivalry between the two.

Moreover, it looked like the saints would also make their move in these matters.

The incident of the Twelve Ancestor Witches intercepting East King stirred no waves in the Primordial.

Neither the Immortal Court nor the Witch Clan discussed this matter, as if it never happened.

And the East Sea Water Clan, who suffered the most, could only silently endure; neither the Immortal Court nor the Witch Clan was something they could afford to provoke currently.

Although it was not disseminated in the Primordial, both the Immortal Court and the Witch Clan were clear.

The Immortal Court grew increasingly confident, after all supported by a saint.

And although the Witch Clan remained as usual, their actions became less reckless and more cautious.
