Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 182 The Holy War

The Chaos Orb, upon flying above Kunlun, immediately formed a transparent, bowl-shaped protective shield inverted over the peak!

At the very instant Taishang and Tongtian charged towards Yuqing Peak!

The Saints of the Primordial World also had drastic changes in expression. They looked at Kunlun in disbelief and exclaimed:

"Saint's Fall?"

On Mount Sumeru in the West, Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned for a moment, then ecstatic. Zhunti exclaimed:

"Senior Brother, Saint's Fall! It's Saint's Fall!"

Jieyin also wore a joyful expression and said:

"It must be the Three Pure Ones. Junior Brother, let's go! We'll go see which of the Three Pure Ones it is!"

The two then headed towards Kunlun!

In Nuwa's Palace, Nuwa also immediately proceeded towards Kunlun!

In the Underworld, Houtu stared blankly at the phenomenon originating from Kunlun. Upon recovering, she immediately rushed towards Kunlun!

In the Scripture Repository, Zhenyuanzi, without even condensing a divine sense avatar, headed towards Yuqing Peak!

At the same time, the Primordial World suddenly experienced a change in its heavens and earth. The sky suddenly darkened, and then it began to rain blood!

The earth also cracked, and countless streams of blood gushed out!

Countless blood lotuses bloomed in the void! The Great Dao then wailed!

The inhabitants of the Primordial World had drastic changes in their expressions and exclaimed:

"Omen: Heaven weeps, Earth cries! The Great Dao wails! Quickly! Quickly! Quickly! Investigate immediately what has happened? How can there be such an omen of heaven weeping, earth crying, and the Great Dao wailing! What has happened!"

In the peculiar space within the chaos, the Heavenly Dao's expression changed drastically, and it immediately also headed towards Kunlun in the Primordial World!

Taishang and Tongtian, after arriving at Yuqing Peak, went straight to Yuqing Palace. The moment Taishang opened the great doors of Yuqing Palace, he saw Yuanshi lying weakly in the hall!

Taishang immediately held Yuanshi in his arms, while Tongtian suddenly let out a loud cry:

"Second Brother!"

Just as Taishang and Tongtian entered Yuqing Palace, Zhenyuanzi also arrived at Yuqing Palace!

Taishang looked at Yuanshi in his arms, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. Taishang said with extreme grief:

"Second Brother! Why did you have to do this!"

Yuanshi spoke weakly:

"Eldest Brother, this Grand Dao of Ch'an almost caused our brotherhood to fracture. What use is it to keep it!"

Tongtian remained silent, only burying himself in Yuanshi's body, weeping without end!

Yuanshi pushed Tongtian away with disdain and said:

"Third Brother, go away, my clothes are all wet! Look, your snot has dripped onto my clothes!"

After speaking, Yuanshi leaned weakly into Taishang's embrace!

Taishang also spoke with a solemn expression:

"Third Brother, stop crying. Quickly seal off Kunlun. Do not let anyone know about Second Brother's condition!"

Tongtian remained unmoved. Taishang reprimanded him:

"Hurry up and go! No matter who it is, do not let them enter Kunlun!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian quickly wiped away his tears and walked outside!

Taishang then said to Zhenyuanzi:

"I trouble you, Daoist friend, to assist my Third Brother!"

Zhenyuanzi nodded and also left Yuqing Palace!

After Tongtian walked out of Yuqing Palace, he immediately declared:

"Kunlun is to be sealed off from this moment on. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

After Tongtian finished speaking, a killing intent erupted from his body and shot into the sky. Then, Tongtian headed towards the mountain gate of Kunlun!

The disciples of the Daoist sect heard Tongtian's voice and felt the terrifying killing intent. Connecting this with the celestial omen that had just appeared, they all knew that something major had happened at Kunlun!

Just as Tongtian reached the front of the Kunlun mountain gate, Nuwa, Houtu, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Heavenly Dao all arrived at Kunlun simultaneously. The Saints stopped in their tracks upon seeing Tongtian.

As the Saints were about to inquire, Tongtian spoke first:

"Esteemed friends, Kunlun is sealed off. We are not receiving visitors. Please return!"

Jieyin, seeing Tongtian's posture, asked:

"Daoist Tongtian, what has happened at Kunlun? How could it have caused such a celestial omen?"

Tongtian cast a cold glance at Jieyin and replied:

"No comment!"

Seeing that Tongtian would not speak, Jieyin narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

Zhunti, seeing Jieyin being rebuffed, said:

"Daoist, do not be so angry. We are also concerned about Kunlun and came here! We have no ill intentions!"

Tongtian remained silent. He conjured the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Zhu Xian Array Diagram with his left hand, and held the Qian Kun Yi Qi Lock in his right!

Zhunti's eyelids twitched upon seeing this and he stopped speaking.

Nuwa, Houtu, and the Heavenly Dao, seeing Tongtian's stance, knew that they would not be able to enter Kunlun!

The three prepared to leave. If their curiosity were to offend Tongtian, it would mean offending the Three Pure Ones, and now Zhenyuanzi was also present. It was not worth it!

Jieyin, seeing the three preparing to leave, rebuked:

"Tongtian, are you intending to resist all five of us with your own strength? With such a celestial omen appearing in the Primordial World, we Saints have the right to know what has happened!"

Nuwa, Houtu, and the Heavenly Dao inwardly cursed:

"This idiot is pulling us in! When did we say we were going to force our way into Kunlun? Did you not see that Tongtian is not in the right state?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's killing intent intensified, and he coldly asked:

"Do you intend to force your way into my Kunlun?"

Just as Nuwa, Houtu, and the Heavenly Dao were about to explain, Zhunti spoke first:

"We are all Saints. Do you think you can fight all five of us alone!"

The moment Zhunti finished speaking, Nuwa, Houtu, and the Heavenly Dao's expressions changed drastically!

Tongtian, however, instantly completed the deployment of the Zhu Xian Array! At the same time, he unleashed the Qian Kun Yi Qi Lock towards Zhunti!

The others glared fiercely at Zhunti, thinking this idiot was blind, not seeing how easily provoked Tongtian was!

Houtu, Nuwa, and the Heavenly Dao entered Tongtian's Zhu Xian Array through Zhunti's miscalculation, while Zhunti engaged in combat with Tongtian!

Zhunti had not expected Tongtian to react so strongly and immediately felt regret. Why had he been so glib? Tongtian was also fierce in battle, and even as a fellow Saint, he found himself somewhat unable to cope!

Although Houtu and the others were tricked by Zhunti, as Saints, being trapped by Tongtian's Zhu Xian Array was a great loss of face!

Tongtian's attention was primarily focused on Zhunti, and he had not expected the Zhu Xian Array to actually trap the four Saints!

After they emerged, Jieyin, seeing Zhunti being suppressed by Tongtian, said:

"Daoist Tongtian, please calm your anger. We have no ill intentions!"

Tongtian, seeing them emerge, knew he could not do more and had to let it go. Zhunti, looking dishevelled, came to stand beside the others!

Nuwa and the others inwardly cursed:

"Serves you right, you deserve it!"

Nuwa, Houtu, and the Heavenly Dao, seeing Tongtian cease his attack, began to explain:

"Daoist, you have misunderstood. These are your spiritual treasures; they are returned to their rightful owner!"

Saying this, they handed three of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian to Tongtian!

Upon seeing this, Jieyin immediately handed over the last sword to Tongtian. Tongtian snorted coldly and said:

"If you want it, then take it. I will retrieve it in the same way I lost it!"

Jieyin's expression turned bitter upon hearing this and he said:

"Daoist, you jest. These are rightfully your belongings!"

Saying this, the sword in Jieyin's hands floated towards Tongtian!

After receiving them, Tongtian put away the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Zhu Xian Array Diagram!

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi also arrived beside Tongtian. Zhenyuanzi said nothing, merely stood quietly beside Tongtian!

Nuwa and the others, seeing this, said:

"Since Kunlun is sealed off, we shall take our leave!"

With that, Nuwa, Houtu, and the Heavenly Dao departed!

Tongtian looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and said:

"What? Shall I see you two out!"

Jieyin and Zhunti's mouths twitched, and they replied:

"No need to trouble you, Daoist. We shall depart now!"

With that, the two also left Kunlun and headed towards the West!
