Chapter 39 Di Jun and Taiyi surround Hongyun
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Di Jun and Tai Yi Encircle Hong Yun
The moment Hongyun stepped out of Wuzhuang Temple, all the powerful beings in the entire prehistoric world who had ambitions and the ability to vie for the Primordial Purple Qi knew about it.
Inside the main hall of Mount Sumeru, the two Western Saints sit facing each other.
"Senior brother, Hongyun has left Wuzhuang Temple," Zhunti said to Jieyin.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this news, Jieyin slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and said, "I didn't expect that after hiding for so long, you've finally decided to show yourself. Junior brother, our Western Sect owes far too much karma. Let's try to reduce it as much as possible. You can arrange the specifics."
"Yes, senior brother, I understand!" Zhunti said with a smile, and then left the Mahavira Hall.
After Zhunti left, Jieyin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he murmured, "Hongyun, oh Hongyun, it's not that I don't want to help you, but how can I repay the karma of becoming a saint?"
Back in Zixiao Palace, Jieyin and Zhunti arrived too late and there were no seats left. They planned to cry and hope to gain Hongjun's favor, but unexpectedly, that idiot Hongyun actually gave up his seat. Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed and sat down without thinking. Then they used a strong attitude to drive Kunpeng away.
At first, he didn't think much of it. At that time, Jieyin still felt a little grateful to Hongyun. After all, he was willing to give up the opportunity he had obtained. He certainly wouldn't have done that himself. But gradually, when he learned that Hongyun was giving him a sainthood, Jieyin became a little unsettled. This was an opportunity to become a saint. He had received Hongyun's gift, so he owed Hongyun a debt of karma. If he didn't repay it, his Dao heart would be easily damaged. But how could he repay the karma of becoming a saint so easily? Since that was the case, he might as well make Hongyun disappear. However, they couldn't do this themselves. Therefore, the Primordial Purple Qi in Hongyun's hands became the best fuse.
What's surprising is that after leaving Zixiao Palace, Hongyun stayed in Wuzhuang Temple for tens of thousands of years, becoming a true veteran tortoise. Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't take action, and other powerful beings in the prehistoric world didn't dare to act rashly because they weren't confident they could handle Zhenyuanzi. So the matter remained unresolved. Now, things are finally looking up. Hongyun has finally decided to leave Wuzhuang Temple, and ambitious figures like Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng are sure to be eager to make their move.
After leaving the main hall, Zhunti immediately used magic to conceal the secrets of heaven, making it unclear to everyone what Hongyun was doing.
On the other side, after leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun originally intended to return directly to Huoyun Cave, but then she thought that Taishang and Nuwa had both attained sainthood through their travels in the prehistoric world, so why not follow suit? Thus, she began to wander in the prehistoric world.
As the red clouds drifted further and further away from Wuzhuang Temple, Dijun and Taiyi, who had been sitting calmly on the Thirty-Third Heaven, finally could no longer remain seated.
In the primordial world, Hongyun slowly made his way to the shores of the East Sea. Suddenly, a bell rang, and Hongyun's figure froze. Hongyun felt a sense of foreboding. In the primordial world, the only thing that could trap people with the sound of a bell was the Eastern Emperor Bell in Taiyi's hands. The demon race was about to make a move against him.
Not wanting to sit idly by and wait for death, Hongyun hurriedly activated the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, to break free from its restraints. Before Hongyun could even regain his footing, a streak of light struck, and Hongyun, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying.
After Hongyun finally regained her balance, she saw Dijun blocking her way, while Taiyi blocked her retreat.
"Di Jun, Tai Yi, I have no past grudges or recent conflicts with you. What is your intention in attacking me?" Hong Yun said.
"Hongyun, everything is predestined and nothing is up to us. From the moment you received the Primordial Purple Qi in Zixiao Palace, you should have known that this day would come. I have no grudge against you, but the Primordial Purple Qi in your hand is my hope for becoming a saint. If you are willing to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, I will let you go today."
"It really is because of the Primordial Purple Qi." Hongyun laughed bitterly. He suddenly remembered Zhen Yuanzi's advice to him when he was at Wuzhuang Temple. It was ridiculous that Hongyun thought that since he had taken human form, he had been kind to people, had a good heart, and had done good deeds. No one in the prehistoric world would dare to harm him. He never expected that he would suffer a fatal disaster not long after leaving Wuzhuang Temple.
"Di Jun, the Primordial Purple Qi was bestowed upon me by the Dao Ancestor. How dare you try to steal it? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Dao Ancestor?" Hong Yun invoked Hong Jun's name, since the Primordial Purple Qi was bestowed upon him by Hong Jun. He didn't believe that Di Jun would dare to defy the world and openly steal the Primordial Purple Qi that Hong Jun had given him.
Unfortunately, things turned out to be very disappointing for Hongyun. Dijun laughed loudly and said, "Hongyun, you are too naive. The Dao Ancestor once said that when the opportunity arrives, everyone can become a saint. Now that the five saints of the Heavenly Dao have emerged, you have yet to become a saint, which means that you are not worthy of the saintly position. Since that is the case, why don't you hand over the Primordial Purple Qi and help me? Rest assured, once I become a saint, I will treat you as the emperor of the demon race."
"Don't even think about it!" Seeing that Hongjun's reputation couldn't intimidate Dijun, Hongyun secretly activated the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, releasing a sky full of red sand to cover his figure. Then, using his speed advantage, he quickly headed towards Wanshou Mountain. Hongyun knew very well that only by reaching Wanshou Mountain and seeking Zhenyuanzi's help could he turn danger into safety.
"Trying to run away?" Seeing that Hongyun still dared to escape, Dijun shuddered and transformed into a streak of light to chase after Hongyun, with Taiyi following closely behind.
Hongyun was the first colorful cloud to take form in the world, and its speed was so fast that it would rank among the top five in the entire prehistoric world. However, the innate divine power of the three-legged golden crow clan, the golden crow rainbow, was even faster and caught up with Hongyun in no time.
After stopping Hongyun, Dijun said with a gloomy face, "Hongyun, since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being merciless. Today, I am determined to get this Primordial Purple Qi. Prepare to die!" After saying that, he summoned the Hetu and Luoshu and attacked Hongyun. Taiyi was not far behind and kept urging the Donghuang Bell to trap Hongyun.
Although Hongyun was also a late-stage Quasi-Saint, he only had one spiritual treasure. Facing the combined attack of Dijun and Taiyi, one a late-stage Quasi-Saint and the other a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, he gradually became overwhelmed and began to look for opportunities to escape.
After a brief struggle, Hongyun finally found an opening and used his speed to escape. However, not long after he left, a palace descended from the sky and blocked his path. Then, a Taoist appeared in front of Hongyun; it was none other than the demon master Kunpeng.
"Kunpeng, you also want my Primordial Purple Qi?" Upon seeing Kunpeng, Hongyun's face turned ashen. Dijun and Taiyi had already exhausted him, and now with the addition of Kunpeng, a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, he was afraid he would really perish here today.
Kunpeng looked at Hongyun and said, "Hongyun, if you hadn't been so good-natured back in Zixiao Palace, I wouldn't have lost my saintly position. Today, I'll settle both old and new scores with you. However, Heaven has a benevolent nature. If you're willing to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi to me, I won't do anything to you today. I'll even protect you from Dijun and Taiyi. What do you say?" Kunpeng was very clear that his goal was to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, not to fight Hongyun to the death. Besides, Dijun and Taiyi were right behind him. Fighting Hongyun to the death would only benefit Dijun and Taiyi. If he could get Hongyun to do it willingly, he could obtain the Primordial Purple Qi and join forces with Hongyun to deal with Dijun and Taiyi. Why not?
