NOVEL NEXT Chapter 332: The Sad Jie Yin
Throughout the battle, Emperor Jun, a Saint among the Demon Clan, did not make an appearance, nor did Nuwa Saint of Feng Qi Mountain lift a finger.
In such circumstances, Zhunti Saint still faced defeat, compelling the numerous beings of the Primordial to acknowledge once again the formidable strength of the Demon Clan.
Of course, the beings watching the battle also harbored a question, that being the whereabouts of Jieyin Saint.
They all knew that Zhunti Saint and Jieyin Saint shared a deep bond, almost always inseparable.
Yet, Jieyin Saint did not appear during the battle between Zhunti Saint and Donghuang Taiyi.
If one believes in the strength of Zhunti Saint, perhaps not intervening in the battle could be justified.
However, now that the battle has ended and Zhunti Saint is clearly defeated, suppressed by the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, why has Jieyin Saint still not appeared?
Even though everyone had such doubts, no answers were forthcoming.
Their Divine Sense merely paused briefly, then no longer continued to dwell on the matter.
In truth, whether it be the Three Pure Saints or the numerous Quasi-Saint Beings, deep down, they were all quite disappointed.
This was because they had not witnessed how exactly the Celestial Heaven Star Formation suppressed a Saint.
Once the true formation activated, they could not see anything that transpired within it.
The Three Pure Saints wanted to look, also desiring to see the Demon Clan's trump card, understanding how they could suppress a Saint.
Those Quasi-Saint Beings who wanted to watch did so in hopes of learning strategies to confront a Saint and possibly devise means to make a Saint wary.
Even in the battle between Zhunti Saint and Donghuang Taiyi, the ongoing conflict between Immortal Court and Witch Clan momentarily ceased.
East King of Immortal Court, apart from wanting to confront a Saint, also felt despair regarding the current power possessed by the Demon Clan.
With the Twelve Ancestor Witches not fully assembled, East King had enough confidence to defeat the Witch Clan.
But what about after defeating the Witch Clan?
Facing such a mighty Demon Clan, could he really oppose them and unify Primordial?
As for the Witch Clan, they were very pleased about this development.
Emperor Jun was now their hidden ally; the stronger the Demon Clan, the happier the Witch Clan naturally became.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches had long understood that with a Saint's presence, the fate of the Witch Clan was already sealed.
As the dust settled, Jieyin Saint looked at the now operational Celestial Heaven Star Formation and after a long while, with a sorrowful expression whispered, "Amitabha Buddha."
He turned again towards Emperor Jun and said, "Emperor, I believe my junior brother has realized his mistake. Buddhism is willing to pay a price, please release my junior brother."
This time, Emperor Jun did not refuse, but instead asked, "Zhunti my friend started by confusing my son, and now has been suppressed. I wonder what price Jieyin my friend is willing to pay?"
Hearing Emperor Jun's response, Jieyin Saint was initially startled but quickly recovered and hastily said, "May I see my junior brother first?"
Jieyin Saint had not expected Emperor Jun to respond directly to him, having been refused multiple times before and was already accustomed to that.
Now seeing Emperor Jun respond, his heart felt a surge of joy, wanting to further check on his junior brother's current condition.
"Alright."
Emperor Jun directly agreed, reducing the sorrow on Jieyin Saint's face significantly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but calculate in his heart, with Emperor Jun being so reasonable now, perhaps when it comes time to pay the price, it might be lighter?
As Jieyin Saint was calculating in his heart, he heard Emperor Jun's voice again.
"Jieyin my friend, follow me."
As he spoke, Emperor Jun stepped forward, traversing space, and entered the Star Array.
Jieyin Saint dared not delay, quickly following Emperor Jun's steps.
With Emperor Jun leading, Jieyin Saint entered the Star Array without triggering any reactions from the formation.
Emperor Jun held absolute control over the Star Array.
Without any pause, Emperor Jun directly led Jieyin Saint to the Sun Star.
Donghuang Taiyi had already received his brother's message and had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother."
Donghuang Taiyi said.
However, Donghuang Taiyi did not show any courtesy to Jieyin Saint, nor did he even address him.
To be exact, because of Zhunti Saint's actions, he held no good feelings towards all of Buddhism.
A Quasi-Saint disrespecting a Saint to such an extent could be considered a great irreverence, disregarding the dignity of a Saint entirely.
Although Jieyin Saint felt annoyed internally, his expression remained unchanged.
He instead took the initiative and said, "Taiyi my friend."
Donghuang Taiyi still ignored him, his expression remaining icy.
Jieyin Saint's expression continued to show no changes, as if Donghuang Taiyi's impoliteness wasn't directed at him.
In fact, Jieyin Saint himself felt quite helpless.
What could he do?
Beside him stood Emperor Jun, far more powerful than himself, and he was still within the Star Array.
He even feared that any improper expression might lead him to follow his junior brother's fate.
Emperor Jun had even less reaction to Donghuang Taiyi's attitude.
"Taiyi, take us there."
Emperor Jun spoke.
"Yes, brother."
Donghuang Taiyi led the way at the front, with Emperor Jun and Jieyin Saint following behind.
Within the Star Array, Donghuang Taiyi eventually stopped at a certain location.
Jieyin Saint knew they had arrived, but no matter how he exercised his Divine Sense, he could only detect the Star Power and Innate Spiritual Energy.
