"Your Majesty!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

"We are willing to share Your Majesty's worries!"

"It's just an Upper Qing Tongtian Daoist, why worry about not being able to take him down if we all attack together?"

"I am willing to lead the charge!"

"Please, Your Majesty, withdraw your orders!"

"..."

Urgent voices rose one after another.

The present crowd of Quasi-Saints remained composed, but the various Demon Gods who arrived one after another were all filled with righteous indignation, outraged.

Had Emperor Jun not already given orders, many would have probably attacked Tongtian by now.

After all, in their view, though the Dao Xing of this Upper Qing Tongtian Daoist was deep and immeasurable, he was alone, and their Demon Clan Heavenly Court was full of masters!

If they all attacked together, or set up a siege, with so many Quasi-Saints and Daluo Golden Immortals combined, would they still fear not being able to capture an Upper Qing Daoist?

This point, both Emperor Jun and Taiyi were well aware.

But could they really do so?

If it were only an Upper Qing Daoist, would they need to be so cautious?

But the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun are always as close as branches on the same tree, and they are direct disciples of the Taoist Ancestor... One hair moves the whole body!

If they really captured the Upper Qing Tongtian Daoist, the Taiching Daoist and Yuqing Daoist could reach the Heavenly Court in a blink, and even the Taoist Ancestor might personally intervene!

Thus, from the moment they saw Upper Qing Tongtian appear, Emperor Jun and the others already sensed trouble.

In this age where the Saints of Zixiao Palace tower high, educating the entire Primordial, even without reaching Sainthood, the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun possessed unparalleled deterrence.

Partly because their Dao Xing was unfathomably high, making them invincible below the Saints, and partly because they were direct descendants of the Taoist Ancestor, with an exceedingly honored status.

Because of the Taoist Ancestor's discourse on Dao at Zixiao Palace, most of the Primordial's masters owed him a favor and held him in high esteem.

Correspondingly, everyone held great respect for the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun, who were direct disciples of the Taoist Ancestor.

Should they call upon the name of the Taoist Ancestor, at least half of the three thousand mortal attendees at Zixiao Palace would rush over.

The magnitude of such a force need not be further explained.

Moreover, various powers dissatisfied with the Demon Court, strong tribes of Primordial, and so forth, would definitely not miss this rare opportunity.

With so many forces combined, even if Heavenly Court was a large establishment, it couldn't withstand them.

Considering these, Emperor Jun and others were somewhat hesitant when facing Tongtian, not leveraging their numerical advantage but only allowing Donghuang Taiyi, who possessed the Chaos Bell, to contest him in a bout.

Unfortunately, Donghuang Taiyi was defeated.

Going one-on-one didn't bring any advantage, and mobbing might invite even bigger troubles.

A difficult choice lay before Emperor Jun.

In the end, after much deliberation, he decided to fully open the Heavenly Gate, allowing Red Cloud Ancestor to leave.

There will be chances to capture him later.

I don't believe Tongtian can act as a bodyguard for Red Cloud Ancestor every day!

However, this action was equivalent to admitting defeat to Tongtian, tarnishing the glory of the Demon Emperor, but compared to continuing the dispute, provoking greater conflicts and an uncontrollable situation, a little loss of face was utterly negligible.

For Emperor Jun, although he didn't possess the shameless spirit of Bai Ze of spitting in one's face, he could endure what others could not.

Even if various Demon Gods were puzzled by his seemingly cowardly move now, they would eventually understand how correct and wise this action was!

Bai Ze, broad-minded, and serving as the left and right arm and chief strategist of the Demon Emperor, could naturally understand his bitter necessity, and immediately spoke sternly: "His Majesty has already made a decision, you all should follow the orders!"

The various Demon Gods looked at each other, their hearts uneasy, but had to obey the orders.

"Boom—"

East Heavenly Gate, majestic and grand, like an Ancient Divine Mountain.

At this moment, the eastern gate of the Demon Court once again opened, emitting a thunderous, muffled sound.

Seeing this scene, Red Cloud Ancestor completely relaxed, bowed respectfully to Tongtian and said, "Many thanks to Daoist brother for lending a hand, I will remember this favor in my heart."

Tongtian gave him a glance and said indifferently: "No need for thanks, I've already said, I came to save you for the sake of my disciple..."

At this point, he turned his head and glanced at Kunpeng Ancestor but said nothing.

Even so, Kunpeng Ancestor still shivered inside, quickly starting to reckon.

Soon after, he figured out the reason, realizing the girl who was the transformation of the Innate Xin Metal Qi had actually become a disciple of Tongtian, and he had recently seen her in West Kunlun!

As he figured this out, among the many Quasi-Saints present, two others also understood the causality.

Emperor Jun and Bai Ze.

One calculated Heavenly Mechanisms using the River Map and Luo Book, while the other relied on his innate divine ability to "know everything under heaven."

These master and servant exchanged a look, their gazes involuntarily flicking towards Kunpeng Demon Master.

Everything was because of him!

Had he not taken action against that Golden Spirit back then, they would never have encountered this troublesome and untouchable Upper Qing Tongtian!

At this moment, the space mire that bound Red Cloud Ancestor and Yu Yuan had vanished, and the two did not delay any further, quickly tunneling light towards East Heavenly Gate, which had just cracked open.

Just as the two were about to break through the gate, they suddenly heard a "ding" of a bell, and an invisible barrier abruptly appeared in front of East Heavenly Gate, coincidentally separating Yu Yuan and Red Cloud Ancestor.

Red Cloud Ancestor successfully passed through the East Heavenly Gate, escaping to freedom, while Yu Yuan directly crashed into the invisible and intangible barrier.

"Bang!"

A dull sound echoed, and the majestic East Heavenly Gate shook slightly.

"What's going on?"

Already out of Heavenly Court, Red Cloud Ancestor turned back, shouting in shock and anger: "Doesn't your Demon Court keep its word?"

Yu Yuan also slightly frowned, turning back to look at Donghuang Taiyi.

He could feel the space in front of him distorting and folding, though it seemed normal, it was already impassable.

This is the Space Law... or rather, the power of the Chaos Bell!

Under the questioning of Red Cloud Ancestor, Donghuang Taiyi, the initiator, didn't even glance at him, merely turning his head to look at Tongtian and said, "Brother Dao wants to take Red Cloud away from the Heavenly Court, and we have all obeyed this command. However, this Xuan Yangzi must stay!"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Jun immediately added, "Brother Dao, please don't blame me! The truth is that Xuan Yangzi caused a great disturbance in our Heavenly Court, killing and injuring countless Demon Gods and Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. If we let him go like this, it will be difficult for us to satisfy everyone, please understand!"

His stance was much lower than Donghuang Taiyi's, giving plenty of face to Tongtian.

Yu Yuan felt a chill in his heart, a bad premonition arising.

After all, Tongtian has no reason to save him now!

Wait, he was also the savior of the little Golden Spirit back then, which Red Cloud Ancestor knew about!

Sure enough, as soon as Taiyi and Emperor Jun spoke, Red Cloud Ancestor immediately looked at Tongtian eagerly and said, "It was this Xuan Yangzi who desperately saved your disciple back then; I only assisted from the side... Please save his life, Brother Dao!"

"Oh?"

Tongtian turned his head to look at Yu Yuan, who quickly tried to offer a loyal and innocent smile.

(｡◕ᴗᴗ◕｡)

The two exchanged glances.

Yu Yuan felt as if the other's eyes could see through people's hearts, making him unconsciously move his gaze away, feeling a rush of fear.

The next moment, he heard Tongtian say with a nonchalant smile, "I just heard that this Xuan Yangzi seems to come from the future... Since that's the case, he can go back where he came from, why would I need to save him?"

"Eh?"

Yu Yuan was stunned, was he being abandoned?

This wouldn't do!

He could still stay in this era for a while longer!

But Tongtian didn't give him a chance to speak, and after speaking, he directly left through the East Heavenly Gate, quickly taking Red Cloud Ancestor with him, leaving only a dashing figure behind.

Yu Yuan indignantly flipped the middle finger, who would have thought you would be like this, Tongtian!

"Surrender now."

Just then, a cold voice spoke.

Yu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Donghuang Taiyi looking at him, his gaze cold and detached, "Your only way out is to tell us everything you know!"

"Tsk~"

Yu Yuan scoffed disdainfully, looking at him and said, "Do you want to use me to probe the future? Then you better prepare the fine wines and dishes fast!

By the way, I like to drink while enjoying dances, so call all the most beautiful fairies from the Demon Court, make it a hundred and eight fairies…"

"If you cooperate obediently, you will get all that you ask for!" Bai Ze said with a smile, then his tone suddenly turned cold, "But if you try any tricks, I guarantee you will taste a fate worse than death!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Yu Yuan smacked his lips and sighed, "Bai Ze Demon Saint, you look so scary now, this isn't how you looked when you peeked at Lady Xi He on Taiyin Star..."

Bai Ze, shocked and angry, exclaimed, "Stop spouting nonsense!"

On the side, Emperor Jun's brows tightened, subtly glancing at Xi He, who almost crushed her silver teeth, her face nearly contorted.

Seeing this, Emperor Jun felt relieved and reassured her through telepathy, "This scoundrel is deliberately trying to disturb our minds, don't take it too seriously. After we extract the information from his mouth, I will definitely grind his bones to dust."

Xi He's heart trembled slightly, nodding somewhat unnaturally, "His Majesty should decide on this. I only fear he will continue to spout nonsense, ruining my reputation, causing His Majesty to misunderstand..."

"Don't worry about it!"

Emperor Jun reassured her, "I know you are of high moral character, how could I misunderstand you because of such a despicable person's nonsense?"

After saying this, he looked around and commanded, "Take this scoundrel down immediately, lock him up in Taiyang Palace and guard him strictly. Without my imperial order, no one is allowed to enter!"

"Yes!"

Including all the Demon Saints, everyone responded in unison.

Then Jiu Ying, Ji Meng, and other Demon Saints got ready to take action against Yu Yuan.

Seeing that there was no possibility of escape, Yu Yuan also gave up struggling. With a slight thought, he disappeared into thin air.

In that instant, almost everyone present was stunned.

Donghuang Taiyi, whose face had been cold and detached since Tongtian left, changed expressions again, his eyes showing disbelief.

"Impossible!"

"I clearly used the power of the Chaos Bell to seal time and space!"

"He can't possibly time travel again! Unless..."

"Unless what?" Emperor Jun asked sternly.

Donghuang Taiyi pondered for a moment and said gravely, "Unless his mastery over the Time Dao far surpasses mine, allowing him to quietly unlock the time constraints!

However, I had carefully observed him earlier, his grasp on the Time Law should be very superficial."

"How did he escape then?" Emperor Jun asked, puzzled.

"I can't figure it out either."

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head, his eyes suddenly revealing an incredulous look.

Emperor Jun caught the change in his expression and quickly asked, "Have you thought of an answer?"

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head, "I did think of a possibility, but it's impossible."

"Tell me?" Emperor Jun was somewhat curious.

Donghuang Taiyi hesitated slightly, but still communicated through telepathy, "If this Xuan Yangzi traveled through time and space using the power of the Chaos Bell, then my Chaos Bell naturally couldn't stop him...

But that's impossible!

The power of the Chaos Bell belongs only to me, even if it's destroyed, I wouldn't let anyone else lay a finger on it!"
