"Come, you all speak separately... Answer whatever I ask you!"

Yu Yuan started interrogating Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga one by one, comparing their answers, and quickly clarified the whole situation.

It turned out that these two, along with a group of Western Sect disciples, were also at Fire Cloud Palace to celebrate the Great God Fu Xi's birthday.

Other than that, they had no other tasks.

In other words, they merely ran into Yu Yuan by chance and then, due to some greed, wanted to test him through words.

The result of this test led directly to their deaths.

"Please spare us!"

"Please ask anything else, I will answer truthfully!"

"We have told the truth, I beg you, please forgive our minor transgressions and spare us the crime of offense!"

Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga kept pleading repeatedly.

"Since you indeed answered, I'll keep my promise and let you go!" Yu Yuan nodded solemnly, then casually rubbed his hands.

Fierce Dao Fire immediately surged forth from the Vajra Bracelet.

"Ah... You've broken your word!"

Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga screamed as their Primordial Spirits revealed themselves; one was a gigantic bird, the other a demonic snake. Both rapidly shrank under the burning of the Dao Fire, and in a blink of an eye, turned into a stream of light rain, scattering around.

Thus, the two venerated beings known as part of the "Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons," Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga, were annihilated in both body and spirit, their True Spirits also extinguished, completely dissipated between Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, in the Western Pure Land, there was a place known as Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

There were several stone statues by the pool, each corresponding to one of the Eight Divisions' Dharma Protector Venerables.

The statues corresponding to Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga suddenly cracked, the fractures quickly spreading across the entire sculpture, which then abruptly collapsed into rubble.

Standing by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and reciting scriptures, Saint Zhunti immediately sensed something, opened his eyes, showing a trace of sorrow between his brows.

He furrowed his eyebrows, contemplated for a moment, then stretched out a finger to dip into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in front of him, using the water as ink, preparing to use Divine Skills to divine something.

However, just then, golden ripples stirred within the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Saint Zhunti's expression slightly changed.

At this critical moment of the Sealing God Tribulation, with Calamity Qi permeating Heaven and Earth, even a Saint would struggle to divine anything.

"Brother, what happened?"

At that moment, an ancient and mysterious Bodhi Tree slowly appeared, and Saint Zhunti, seated under the tree, also sensed the anomaly near the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and hurriedly showed up to inquire.

Saint Zhunti looked up sadly and said, "Dharma Protectors Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga have entered tranquility."

"Brother, do you know who did it?" Saint Zhunti furrowed his brows, trying to fathom who would antagonize their Western Sect at this critical juncture of the Sealing God Tribulation.

"I do not know." Saint Zhunti shook his head, "With the Calamity Qi pervading Heaven and Earth, and the Heavenly Mechanism in chaos, I am unable to divine."

Saint Zhunti nodded slightly, his brows still furrowed: "Both Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga were peak Daluo, both equipped with many life-saving Spiritual Treasures, yet they couldn't even use the Sound Transmission Treasure Pearl to call for help... Those capable of killing them are either top powers like Ming River and Zhen Yuanzi, or it was a group acting together, giving them no chance of survival."

Saint Zhunti also pondered but ultimately shook his head.

"Let us set this matter aside for now, have Vina Night lead a group to Fire Cloud Palace to congratulate the birthday and also investigate this matter. Additionally, with two protectors missing from the Eight Divisions, our sect's fate may be affected; we need to quickly find replacements."

"Brother, I have already eyed a candidate, that would be the Virochana Immortal from the Jie Sect."

Saint Zhunti slightly frowned, "You mean that Golden Crow?"

"Indeed, he is the only remaining Golden Crow in the world, and after having stayed alongside Tongtian for many years, he has cleansed his karma and is now well-suited to serve our Western Sect," Saint Zhunti said indifferently.

Saint Zhunti slightly nodded: "Indeed, he is a good choice."

While these two Saints were discussing, suddenly a disciple came to report that the Chan Sect Vice Sect Hierarch, Randeng Daoist, had come to visit, claiming that he had an important matter to discuss with the two Saints.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Zhunti looked at each other, not particularly surprised.

Since Randeng Daoist's Dao place, Lingjiu Mountain, was not far from Sumeru Mountain, and since some agreement had been reached between the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, this vice Sect Hierarch of the Chan Sect often visited, making significant contributions to the mutual communication between the two sides.

After a brief contemplation, the two Saints sent the disciple Pharmacist to welcome him.

At the gate of Sumeru Mountain, Pharmacist respectfully saluted Randeng Daoist.

"Greetings to Vice Sect Hierarch Randeng."

Though both were peak Daluo Golden Immortals, Randeng Daoist's standing within the Chan Sect had been on the rise over the years, so even the Pharmacist, a core disciple of the Western Sect, dared not show any negligence in his presence.

"Friend, you are being too polite." Randeng Daoist courteously returned the greeting, "I have come on this occasion to convey some significant news to the two Saints."

Pharmacist was taken aback and asked, "May I know what the news is?"

Randeng Daoist glanced at him, smiling enigmatically, "About the birthday celebrations at Fire Cloud Palace."

Pharmacist was shocked.

He had only just learned that the two protectors had perished on their way to the Fire Cloud Palace to offer congratulations; the news should not have spread yet, so how did Randeng Daoist come to know so quickly?
