#4016 - The road can't protect you
The situation within the Jie Sect was rather delicate, with the Tongtian Cult Master disregarding many internal affairs.
The burden naturally fell upon Daoist Duobao.
This caused Daoist Duobao to hesitate internally when making many decisions.
He was well aware that some of his decisions,
if slightly off course, would ultimately be paid for by the entire Jie Sect.
This was why Daoist Duobao had been so cautious and walking on thin ice for many years.
He really had no choice but to walk on thin ice!
"As long as it doesn't concern the Jie Sect, I can completely pretend nothing happened," Daoist Duobao thought to himself.
In any case, he had no right to question what the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation was doing.
Even if he did ask, they wouldn't tell him.
Instead, he would be viewed strangely for asking such a question.
Wouldn't that be foolish!
After the Chaos God Clan headquarters received news of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation leaving the Jie Sect,
a bad premonition arose in the hearts of these old fellows.
They knew very well that the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation's current actions were aimed at them.
If the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation wasn't targeting the Chaos God Clan, who else could they be targeting?
Just thinking about it was very annoying.
"Alas, I have a feeling the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation is going to attack us again. I really don't understand, where exactly did we offend the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation? Why is this guy targeting our Chaos God Clan relentlessly? Is it just because we wanted to conquer the Primordial World? Thinking about this feels so unsolvable! Especially when it involves the interests of all of us."
"What you said earlier was all nonsense. The most important and core point is the last sentence. Every action of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation involves the interests of all of us. If we don't fight for our own interests, wouldn't we be looked down upon by others? Next, we need to see how the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation plans to attack us!"
"I think this is a matter of 'strike first, strike last suffers'! How the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation targets us is not very important. The key is how we protect our own interests. That's the core. If we can't even protect our own interests, many creatures in the clan are watching us make fools of ourselves."
"Hmph, you say they're watching us make fools of ourselves? If these guys want to watch, then let them watch. We've made plenty of fools of ourselves over the years! Our Chaos God Clan is a whole, with shared glory and shared loss. If we suffer losses, they shouldn't even think about getting any benefits."
...The world of cultivators is a place where the strong can dictate everything.
From the current perspective, it's clear that these old fellows at the Chaos God Clan headquarters are very powerful.
Because they are so powerful, even if the ordinary members of the Chaos God Clan have ideas in their hearts, they can only keep them to themselves and dare not speak out.
Once they speak out,
it would confirm the saying, 'If you can't solve the problem, then simply solve the person who raised the problem!'
This way of solving problems can be described as extremely simple and crude!
Just as these old fellows at the Chaos God Clan headquarters were arguing endlessly,
Nine Heavens Phoenix leisurely said to Lillian, "Go brew two cups of tea, one excellent and one terrible."
Lillian had followed Nine Heavens Phoenix for so many years.
Plus, with years of constant scheming with the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation.
They had naturally received news of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation leaving the Jie Sect.
Based on Lillian's own judgment, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation was most likely heading their way.
The Holy Maiden Nine Heavens Phoenix was going to treat him like this... it was a bit much.
The excellent cup was definitely for Nine Heavens Phoenix herself.
And the other cup...
Thinking of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation's temperament, Lillian asked this question.
Seeing the expression on Lillian's face, Nine Heavens Phoenix probably knew what she was thinking.
Nine Heavens Phoenix immediately said, "Just do as I say."
Hearing this, Lillian immediately stopped resisting.
It was indeed better to do as Nine Heavens Phoenix said.
However, there was one sentence she didn't say out loud in her heart.
That was, Lillian wanted to say to Nine Heavens Phoenix, 'I've been listening to you for many years, and I haven't seen you gain any advantage.'
Not only had she not gained any advantage, but she had even suffered losses!
Lillian only complained about these words in her heart.
If she were to really say them, Lillian said she didn't want to look for trouble for no reason.
Qin Buyi was indeed coming to find Nine Heavens Phoenix.
After returning to the Primordial World, many things had been delayed, and he hadn't come to find this guy Nine Heavens Phoenix.
At least the other party was valued by the Great Dao to deal with him.
If he kept ignoring the other party, who knew when they would give him a surprise.
Qin Buyi considered himself very powerful... this was based on comparison.
He could wrestle with the Great Dao because the Great Dao operated within his rules.
Nine Heavens Phoenix could just help the Great Dao to do many things outside the rules.
When Qin Buyi first heard that the Great Dao and Nine Heavens Phoenix were mixed together, his mentality was naturally very chaotic.
But since things had already happened, he could only let it be.
If he had to say there was a good way to deal with it, it was to increase his vigilance.
With his current cultivation strength improvement speed, plus many means.
As long as he was vigilant enough, the combination of these two would not bring him much trouble.
Of course, if he was careless, this kind of thing was hard to say.
Nine Heavens Phoenix smiled when she saw Qin Buyi and said, "As expected, you still came."
Qin Buyi shook his head and said, "I actually didn't want to come, but I had no choice but to come!"
If he could have a choice, Qin Buyi would not have come to find Nine Heavens Phoenix.
Facing a woman who gave him a headache, this kind of experience was very bad.
Even Qin Buyi didn't want to face this kind of thing too much.
If Nine Heavens Phoenix knew what Qin Buyi was thinking, she would probably feel a sense of understanding.
She felt the same way about Qin Buyi!
"I don't want to be like this either, but I was chosen, do you think it's fate?"
When Nine Heavens Phoenix said this, the implication was naturally that she was chosen by the Great Dao and not of her own will...
There was a slight hint of boasting in her tone.
Qin Buyi said meaningfully, "That's true, but you still have to grasp the scale, if it's over the scale, it's easy to make yourself fall."
After a pause, he added, "Even the Great Dao can't protect you in that case."
