Chapter 1096: The Disposition of Ancestor Hongjun

The saints looked at each other in confusion, looking at the stubborn faces of Patriarch Styx and his associates, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Their eyes showed both helplessness over past grievances and worries about the current situation.

The hatred between Zhou Qing and the three people is not a simple cause and effect, but a murderous hatred. Even ancestor Hongjun couldn't ask Zhou Qing to forgive the two enemies who had personally ended his life.

But right now, the prehistoric world needs the power of the three of them. The three of them continued to coax each other, and they were afraid that this expedition would be in vain.

In this battle, they lost many disciples and subordinates. If the Yuanxu world cannot be conquered, these disciples and subordinates will not even have a chance to be resurrected.

Sage Laozi, as the most virtuous and respected among the saints, had to stand up and take charge of the overall situation in Fang Yang's absence.

He stood up slowly, his eyes like a torch, and scanned the whole place. After everyone was shocked by his momentum and quieted down, he slowly spoke, his voice low and powerful:

"This matter is not trivial. It affects the outcome of this battle. Only by asking the teacher to come forward can we make a fair decision and settle the dispute."

His heart is like a bright mirror. The three ancestors of Kunpeng have strong personalities. No one can convince them except ancestor Hongjun.

Even Queen Houtu and Fang Yang, despite their respected status, can only scare them but cannot convince them. Therefore, he had to make this decision and asked Patriarch Hongjun for intervention.

Sure enough, when Saint Laozi mentioned the name of Patriarch Hongjun, the momentum of the three Patriarchs of Styx instantly weakened a bit, and a trace of unnoticeable guilt flashed in their eyes.

They knew that Patriarch Hongjun was selfless and would never take sides for any reason. The lessons learned from Master Tongtian gave them a deeper understanding of Patriarch Hongjun's behavior.

Upon seeing this, Saint Laozi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to prepare to summon Ancestor Hongjun.

He looked solemn and walked steadily towards the incense table that had been prepared. As he silently recited the mantra, an inexplicable force seemed to be gathering between heaven and earth. Gradually, an ancient and powerful aura filled the air.

"See Dao Ancestor (Senior)!"

When the will of Patriarch Hongjun came, the whole audience stood in awe, and everyone felt the majesty and compassion from heaven and earth.

The figure of Ancestor Hongjun slowly condensed into shape in the void. His arrival seemed to make the entire space tremble, and an ancient and profound aura filled the air.

However, facing the nervous and complicated expressions of Zhou Qing and the others, Patriarch Hongjun did not immediately show his majesty. Instead, he slowly bowed his hands to everyone present with an unusually peaceful gesture.

This move was not only a sign of respect for everyone, but also a sign of humility for him as the supreme being.

"The Great Heaven of Yuanxu has a vast terrain, and its strength is not inferior to mine. It is not easy for you to be able to win in such a difficult situation."

Ancestor Hongjun’s voice is gentle and deep, like the sound of ancient bells, echoing in everyone’s heart. His eyes showed approval and affirmation of everyone, as if he could understand every effort and sacrifice.

"At this moment, on behalf of all the souls in the world, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all my fellow Taoists."

As he spoke, Patriarch Hongjun leaned forward slightly. That gesture was a sign of respect and recognition for everyone.

Facing this gift from Patriarch Hongjun, everyone was shocked and looked frightened.

They knew very well that the status of Patriarch Hongjun was transcendent and one of the most noble beings in the world. How could they afford it?

As a result, everyone imitated the gesture of ancestor Hongjun and responded with more humble courtesy. At the same time, they kept saying: "I don't dare, I don't dare! I can't do my best, how dare I accept such a great gift from Dao Ancestor (senior)?" "

When Ancestor Hongjun saw this, he smiled slightly. That smile contained endless wisdom and compassion, and seemed to be able to heal all the grudges and hatreds in the world.

"You don't need to be polite. This victory is the result of united efforts. Every strength is crucial."

His words were like spring breeze and rain, making everyone present gradually calm down.

Then, Patriarch Hongjun turned his eyes to Zhou Qing and the others with sharp eyes.

"The battle for the holy position in the Zixiao Palace was all based on personal destiny. I didn't expect two calamities to pass, but the grudges back then would lead to such a catastrophic disaster. It is really inappropriate!"

"Disciples (juniors) are terrified!"

Zhou Qing and the others quickly saluted and did not dare to praise them.

Ancestor Hongjun shook his head slightly, with a bit of regret in his tone, "The incident in Zixiao Palace, although it was a small cause, had big consequences. Kunpeng was resentful because of the holy throne, and Styx was murderous because of the holy throne. , Hongyun eventually fell, which is a great misfortune. When you return to the Great Desolate World, I will give you a chance to settle your grudges, but not at this moment."

Zhou Qing and the other three had different expressions when they heard this. Although Patriarch Minghe and Kunpeng were unwilling to do so, they also knew that they could not quibble in front of Patriarch Hongjun and could only bow their heads and admit their guilt. Zhou Qing's eyes were complicated, with both grief and anger for the past and confusion about the future.

Ancestor Hongjun continued: "I have decided to deprive the Asura Sect and the Beiming Demon Clan of 30% of their luck, and deprive the Tiandao Sect of half of their luck as punishment. I hope you can take this as a lesson and put aside your personal grudges. Fight against powerful enemies together.”

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Depriving one's luck is a heavy blow to any force, but everyone also understands that this is a decision made by ancestor Hongjun for the sake of the overall situation.

Zhou Qing and the others felt regretful after hearing this. For the sake of a moment of pride, they made a big mistake, which finally led to the punishment of Patriarch Hongjun.

Although the three were unwilling, they could only accept the punishment respectfully under the unquestionable majesty of Hongjun Patriarch.

They said in unison: "Disciples (younger generations) know their mistakes and are willing to accept the punishment. In the future, they will definitely turn over a new leaf and do their part for the prehistoric world."

Hongjun Patriarch nodded, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "Okay, since you know your mistakes, you should reform yourself."

After speaking, Hongjun Patriarch's figure gradually faded, leaving only the deep and distant voice echoing in everyone's ears. Seeing this, Saint Laozi and others stepped forward to salute the direction where Hongjun Patriarch left, with a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Hongjun Patriarch's appearance not only punished Zhou Qing and the other three, but also warned other saints. After seeing the fate of Zhou Qing and the other three, I believe that in the next war, no one will affect the overall situation of the prehistoric world because of personal grudges.

However, the real test has just begun.

Saints are people who stand at the top of the prehistoric world, and they still can't let go of their grudges. Those below the saints are even more difficult to see through.

Yuanxu Great World suffered a great loss in this battle, but their strength did not suffer much loss. Their plan has been quietly implemented among the prehistoric great powers. (End of this chapter)
