Chapter 264 Shameless! The Holy One of the Three Pure Ones Descends!
Chapter 264 Shameless! The Holy One of the Three Pure Ones Descends!
Upon hearing the words of the guiding sage, Niu Ben cursed inwardly:
"These two saints from the Western Church are truly...shameless!"
Niu Ben had already experienced the shamelessness of these two men firsthand.
The two were invited to join the Purple Palace Celestial Court of the Eastern King Duke.
A great war subsequently broke out between the demon race and the Purple Mansion Celestial Court.
The Eastern King originally intended for Jieyin and Zhunti to engage in battle.
Who would have thought that these two would not only fail to help the Purple Mansion Celestial Court, but also take advantage of the chaos and abduct a large number of living beings from the Purple Mansion State.
That's fine then.
Zhunti also sent his disciple Kasyapa to move the treasures of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court.
Fortunately, Niu Ben arrived in time, preventing Kasyapa from succeeding in taking everything.
Now, Houtu, the ancestral witch, has transformed into the cycle of reincarnation and opened up the underworld.
Since both Jieyin and Zhunti were saints, they naturally knew the great significance behind the underworld and wanted to get a share of the spoils.
However, these two are truly something else when they put their words into such a high-sounding way.
Of course, although Niu Ben was furious inside, he said aloud:
"Two saints."
"Before Houtu, the ancestral witch, took on the cycle of reincarnation, she personally entrusted me with the authority of the underworld."
"Once the underworld is successfully opened, I will assume the position of Emperor of Fengdu to maintain the balance of Yin and Yang."
"This is the legacy of the ancestral witch Houtu, and a testament to the way of heaven and earth!"
At this point, Niu Ben paused briefly, then added:
"Do you two intend to seize it by force?"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, a strange light flashed in the eyes of both Jieyin and Zhunti.
After a moment of silence, the Sage Zhunti coldly snorted:
"snort!"
"How dare a mere junior presume to call himself Emperor?"
"The ancestral witch Houtu has reincarnated, and her consciousness has dissipated; how can her words be entirely trusted?"
As he spoke, Zhunti's expression darkened, and he continued:
"This is a blessing bestowed upon all living beings by Heaven; it is not something you alone can possess!"
At the same time, the guiding sage also spoke:
"You ungrateful ox, don't be so ungrateful."
"Besides, do you really mean it's true that the Ancestral Witch Houtu made this arrangement?"
"Who knows if you're lying?"
Upon hearing what Zhunti and Jieyin said, Niu Ben's face turned cold, thinking that these two great saints of the Western Sect were truly shameless.
"Fellow Daoist Styx can testify to this!"
After a slight pause, Niu Ben spoke in a cold voice, glancing at the Styx Ancestor standing beside him.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the two saints' gazes sharpened and fell directly on the Styx Ancestor.
"The River Styx!"
"Did you hear Houtu, the ancestral witch, make this arrangement before the cycle of reincarnation?"
Zhunti asked in a deep voice.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor was taken aback.
He did not hear what Houtu Zuwu said in person.
After all, Houtu, the ancestral witch, had set up a restrictive barrier earlier, but he didn't know what she had said to Niu Ben inside it.
After a slight pause, the Styx Ancestor spoke:
"Reporting to the Sage."
"The Ancestral Witch Houtu did indeed tell Fellow Daoist Niuben some things."
"But I did not hear the specifics of what it was about."
As he said this, the Styx Ancestor looked utterly helpless.
Since it was a sage asking him questions, he dared not lie.
After speaking, the Styx Ancestor glanced at Niu Ben, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Before Niu Ben could speak, the Sage Zhunti gave a cold laugh and said:
"Little ox-bean brat."
"You heard it too, the Styx River did not hear Houtu Ancestral Witch's arrangements with its own ears."
"Who knows if you're just talking nonsense or if you're coveting power in the underworld?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben's face grew even uglier. He knew very well that it would be futile to reason with these two saints of the Western Sect.
"If he is merely a saint..."
"Perhaps we still have a chance to fight back."
"But now both of the Western saints are alive..."
Niu Ben muttered to himself.
He pondered that if only one saint had come from the Western religion, he might still be able to fight against him.
After all, he possessed the innate treasure, the Chaos Five Elements Flag.
Even a sage can be severely injured if caught off guard.
But now, facing two saints, Niu Ben dared not take the risk.
"Or... I'm still too weak!"
Niu Ben sighed quietly.
Although his current strength is second only to that of a saint.
But when faced with a sage, they still seem inadequate.
Seeing that Niu Ben did not respond, Zhunti slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile, and said lightly:
"Niu Ben, get out of here right now!"
"I will not hold this matter against you."
In Zhunti's opinion, if Niu Ben's identity weren't so special, he wouldn't bother talking to him so much and would have just taken action to suppress him!
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben came to his senses and, showing no intention of leaving, said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Since I promised Houtu Ancestral Witch that I would take charge of the underworld, I will not go back on my word."
"The sage wants me to leave, but I cannot do it."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's reply, Zhunti's face darkened abruptly, and he coldly retorted:
"You ungrateful wretch!!"
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a saintly aura, as powerful as a mountain, descended upon Niu Ben from Zhunti's body.
He'd had a grudge against Niu Ben for a long time.
Now that all the persuasion has failed, Niu Ben still insists on staying, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
As the holy might was about to strike Niu Ben, the Styx Ancestor was terrified and had no idea what to do.
As for the Styx Ancestor, he naturally did not want the power of the underworld to fall into the hands of the Western Sect.
In this case, the sacred site that Houtu Ancestral Witch promised to leave for him may not be realized.
In addition, Niu Ben had previously made agreements with him.
After Niu Ben took control of the underworld, he was appointed as one of the five Ghost Emperors of the underworld.
If the underworld were under the control of the Western Religion, whether this position would still fall to him is another matter entirely.
But he dared not disobey the sage.
"Um?"
When Niu Ben saw the overwhelming holy might of the Sage Zhunti descending upon him, his brows furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to make his move, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom boom..."
Suddenly, three incredibly powerful auras descended upon the sea of blood.
These three energies were incredibly powerful, even stronger than those of the two saints of the Western religion!
In no time, under the impact of these three forces, the saintly pressure that was descending upon Niu Ben was instantly shattered.
"snort!"
"Jieyin, Zhunti!"
"You guys have huge pieces of dough!"
"Are you trying to fool us, the East, that we have no one to rely on?"
With a cold snort, the void of the Blood Sea was instantly torn apart.
Upon closer inspection, three voices appeared to be walking through the air.
Who else could it be but the Three Pure Ones?
In no time, the Three Pure Ones appeared in front of Niu Ben.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Three Pure Ones, Niu Ben secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed.
"Greetings, Master! And my two senior uncles!"
Taishang smiled and looked at Niu Ben, then said:
"My disciple, don't be afraid!"
"Leave the rest to your master and your uncle."
As he spoke, the Supreme Sage turned his gaze and looked directly at Jieyin and Zhunti, his eyes suddenly turning cold and sharp.
