#4237 - It's his fault, can you take responsibility for it?

When the two Sages, Receiving and Guide, heard that Haotian's true form had been dispatched, their hearts sank.

What they feared had truly come to pass...

Haotian's true form being dispatched meant that Sage Guide's previous actions had greatly displeased this master.

If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack!

Sage Guide spread his hands and said, "Senior Brother Receiving, I think I'd better not go out recently."

That's right, this was Sage Guide's idea.

You want to snipe me? Then I simply won't go out.

Surely I won't get beaten up in my own home...

If Haotian really went to such lengths, he would truly show no respect.

At that point, everyone would lose face.

Sage Receiving nodded and said, "Indeed, you should reduce your appearances during this period."

If Sage Guide were caught by Haotian now, a severe beating would be unavoidable.

Where would the Western Sect's face be then!

Sage Guide targeted Li Jing.

Haotian was directly targeting the main person... one of the Western Sect's leaders.

This wouldn't do!

No matter which aspect was considered, this kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible.

Sage Guide sighed, "I'm really having a hard time!"

Wasn't it just a small revenge against Li Jing? Was it necessary to treat him like this?

Didn't the Heavenly Court think it was a bit cruel and excessive?

Many disciples of the Western Sect naturally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

Based on their understanding of Sage Guide, they were very clear that Sage Guide would definitely not show his face during this period.

Let alone Sage Guide, if it were them, they wouldn't easily show their faces either.

"Alas, I really didn't expect the Heavenly Court to be so dishonorable! How could they do this? Haotian's true form being dispatched, is this such a big deal? Is it necessary to dispatch the true form? Even if an incarnation roamed around the Primordial World, it would be enough for us supreme sects of sages to suffer. Not to mention, I think the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation is easier to deal with."

"That's just you thinking the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation seems easier to deal with. I say it's no big deal for Haotian's true form to be dispatched, it's nothing more than beating up our sage. But if the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation comes to our Western Sect for no reason, that's unacceptable. We might all perish at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation."

"Who says otherwise? Mentioning the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation always makes me feel cold all over and my scalp tingle! This time Sage Guide really kicked a steel plate. Li Jing had just returned from the Chaos with the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation, and our sage ambushed him, creating such a big joke. I'd be angry too if I were him!"

"Isn't it because the two sages of our Western Sect were blocked outside the Heavenly Court's gate? I say, where does the Heavenly Court have such a way of treating guests? Blocking our Western Sect's sages outside the gate, is there any reason for that? Everyone is a sage, not giving even this bit of face, how will we walk in the Primordial World in the future? I think he didn't do anything wrong."

......

In the Heavenly Court, Li Jing was stunned when he learned that Haotian was standing up for him.

He never expected that his matter would alarm Haotian.

And even have Haotian take action for him, it was truly unimaginable.

"What's wrong with the Heavenly Emperor? Why do I feel something is strange?" Li Jing wondered secretly in his heart.

Logically speaking, Haotian's true form shouldn't have been dispatched for him.

In Li Jing's view, this wasn't a big deal.

It wasn't like he was knocked out by a strong person of the same level.

The one who did this was the Western Sect's...

Sages have always been supreme in the Primordial World.

Now it was normal for him to be knocked out, wasn't it?

He didn't know that Haotian purely felt he was losing face.

The Heavenly Court in the past didn't have the influence it has now, so getting knocked out was just that.

But now? That wouldn't do!

After so many years of development, especially with Qin Yiyi constantly fueling the flames.

If Li Jing was still so easily knocked out, wouldn't any sage be able to attack the Heavenly Court in the future?

To put it bluntly, it's that the Heavenly Court can be above other sages.

But now it's absolutely not allowed for other sages to be above the Heavenly Court.

Haotian came to the Western Sect, heading straight for the Western Sect's mountain gate.

This straightforward action startled the creatures watching the commotion in the Primordial World.

They originally thought that if Sage Guide didn't show his face, Haotian might just pretend nothing happened.

Or just randomly find someone of similar status to Li Jing in the Western Sect to take action against, and that would be it.

Who could have thought that Haotian would come to the door...

"It's over, it's over! This time the Western Sect has really played big. I estimate that the Western Sect itself is also confused now. It's just a small matter, why make such a fuss? If the Heavenly Emperor had chosen a roundabout way to resolve this, perhaps the Western Sect wouldn't be so panicked. Now he's heading straight for the mountain gate. If the Western Sect doesn't give an explanation, I estimate the mountain gate won't be able to be protected."

"Not being able to protect the mountain gate is a small matter. The main thing is, don't let Sage Guide be caught. Otherwise, with the mountain gate broken and Sage Guide... the Western Sect will lose all face this time! Why did they have to offend the Heavenly Court for no reason? Now isn't this just creating trouble for themselves? I estimate the Chan Sect will be happy. They can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Speaking of which, the Chan Sect has been aggrieved for so many years. They originally thought they could avenge their past grudges after the war started. Who would have thought that the Intercept Sect and the Western Sect would be so dishonorable and actually join forces to target their Chan Sect? Now that the Western Sect is being held back by Haotian, from a certain level, it can be considered support for the Chan Sect. They will naturally be happy."

"The Western Sect being held back is all self-inflicted. Sages still value face too much. If they didn't value it so much, perhaps these messy things wouldn't have happened. But who can say for sure about all this? Next, we'll see how the Western Sect will receive Haotian's true form. I don't think they'll be too perfunctory."

......

The two Sages of the Western Sect couldn't possibly be perfunctory with Haotian, no matter what they thought.

Wasn't that playing with their lives?

Sage Guide was hiding in the dark, afraid to show his face.

Afraid that Haotian would come and instantly kill him as soon as he showed his head...

Originally, it wasn't his fault, but Haotian made such a move.

Sage Guide suddenly felt that he seemed to be somewhat in the wrong.

This made Sage Guide feel somewhat aggrieved.

"As expected, whoever has the bigger fist gets to call the shots."

Now the one with the bigger fist was Haotian.

No matter what happened, Sage Guide could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Wanting to refute this matter, or wanting to resist a little? Wasn't that joking with his own life?

Anyway, Sage Guide felt that he hadn't gone crazy to that extent.

Sage Receiving sighed, he would definitely have to welcome Haotian personally.

If he didn't go to welcome Haotian, and Haotian seized the opportunity to find fault, it would be even more troublesome!

This master himself came to find fault.

"If I had known that taking action against Li Jing would cause so much trouble, I shouldn't have taken action against Li Jing in the first place." At this moment, Sage Receiving had only one sentence in his mind, which was 'Impulse is the devil!'

If it weren't for his side being impulsive, he wouldn't have provoked Haotian's trouble.

Mainly, Haotian's arrival made Sage Receiving feel more helpless.

Western Sect's mountain gate.

Sage Receiving had come here early to wait for Haotian.

Attitude was very important in many cases.

Many disciples of the Western Sect felt a bit sour when they saw Sage Receiving doing this.

What was this...

Why was his own Sage Receiving so humble?

"Alas, if we had known that there would be so much trouble for attacking Li Jing, we shouldn't have attacked Li Jing in the first place. I estimate Sage Receiving must be very regretful about taking action before. If he could have stopped Sage Guide, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened now. Every time the Heavenly Emperor personally comes to the door, it makes people tremble with fear."

"The Heavenly Emperor personally coming to the door isn't targeting us, why are you trembling with fear? It's just targeting the Western Sect. We in the Western Sect don't need to be afraid in this regard at all. Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor's true form can kill Sage Guide? If he really did that, wouldn't the Primordial World be completely chaotic? At that time, our Western Sect would definitely not let it go so easily."

"Use your brain when you say these words, okay? What do you mean our Western Sect would definitely not let it go so easily? Isn't that nonsense! If you don't want to let it go so easily, do you have the strength? Besides, this matter isn't about life and death, but about the face of our Western Sect. If our Western Sect can't even protect our face, what's the point of saying anything else."

"It's all about face, face all day long. Is face really that important? Anyway, I don't think it's important at all. If you take risks for face, that's just being a fool. How could we do such a foolish thing! By the way, why hasn't the Heavenly Emperor's true form arrived yet? Could it be that he's deliberately making Sage Receiving wait for his arrival?"

......

Just as these disciples of the Western Sect thought.

Haotian had arrived long ago.

It was just that after seeing Sage Receiving appear, he hid his figure again.

The purpose was very simple, that was naturally to make Sage Receiving wait a little longer.

This was a matter of attitude.

Sage Receiving also felt that something was not right at this time.

Logically speaking, how could a being like Haotian be 'late'...

The only explanation was that he had already arrived long ago.

"Trouble!" Sage Receiving thought secretly in his heart.

He couldn't open his mouth to urge Haotian, after thinking about it, he could only open his mouth and say:

"Heavenly Emperor, please show yourself!"

Since the other party didn't plan to come out, then he would invite the other party out.

Otherwise, he couldn't just stand here like an idiot, right...

Spreading it out would make the already somewhat laughable Western Sect even more laughable.

When Haotian saw Sage Receiving inviting him to appear, he no longer hid his figure.

Seeing Haotian appear, Sage Receiving breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Haotian would continue to hide, then the only one who would be embarrassed would be himself.

The great powers watching the excitement in the Primordial World couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this situation.

Why did this Heavenly Emperor appear so easily? Something's wrong! Very wrong!

Their true thoughts were that it would be better for the Heavenly Emperor to continue waiting for a while.

"Hey, I have to say that the Heavenly Emperor is too kind. He actually showed up like this in the face of Sage Receiving's invitation. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't show up. Anyway, it's not just me who's embarrassed, just let Sage Receiving continue to be embarrassed. Many times, being too kind isn't a good thing, especially when it comes to the Western Sect."

"We can just talk about these words in private, don't let them reach the ears of the two sages of the Western Sect. Didn't you see the treatment of the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court's troops, Li Jing? He was knocked unconscious for carrying out orders. I estimate that if it were us, it wouldn't be a matter of being knocked unconscious. At that time, whether we live or die is another matter, what do you say?"

"Hmph, isn't the Western Sect just bullying the weak and fearing the strong? If they weren't bullying the weak and fearing the strong, why would they treat the Heavenly Court with one attitude and us with another attitude? It's really annoying. Sooner or later, I'll make the Western Sect understand that differential treatment isn't a good habit, especially when facing us rogue cultivators."

"Alright, stop saying these messy things. All of us rogue cultivators combined aren't enough for them to beat with one hand. Provoking the Western Sect? You can't really think you have the ability of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation, right? The Heavenly Court does this because they're strong enough. If we do this, we'll be courting death at the speed of light. If you want to die, don't drag me along, I haven't lived enough yet."

......

Haotian didn't take Sage Receiving's smiling face seriously.

He knew what Sage Receiving was thinking in his heart.

Wanting to cover up this matter with a good attitude.

How could that be!

This was absolutely not allowed to happen.

He had finally come out once, and he was going to be resolved by Sage Receiving like this.

How would he face Old Qin when he went back? To put it bluntly, wasn't this returning empty-handed?

Haotian said to Sage Receiving with a fake smile, "Why haven't I seen that one?"

Sage Receiving's face was a bit bitter.

It seemed that his good attitude hadn't brought about any good development direction.

Haotian directly made things difficult as soon as he arrived... This made people a bit unhappy.

"Sage Guide told me not long ago that he had made some breakthroughs and was in seclusion."

Haotian had to find Sage Guide to make things difficult, how could he let him get his wish?

Just a sentence of seclusion, let's see what Haotian could do.

He couldn't forcibly break through a sage's seclusion, right?

If this disturbed Sage Guide's 'breakthrough', the Heavenly Court would definitely have to give the Western Sect an explanation.

Sage Receiving believed that with this reason he gave, Haotian would definitely not make things difficult for Sage Guide anymore.

At that time, he would just have to say more good words and directly send Haotian away.

In this way, both the substance and face would be preserved, it was simply a win-win situation.

While Sage Receiving was planning these things in his mind, little did he know that Haotian didn't think that way at all.

He thought to himself, "Sage Guide is in seclusion? What a good reason!"

Thinking that he could easily turn the page on this matter by using this lame excuse?

He looked at Sage Receiving and said, "Since Sage Guide is already in seclusion, then you will bear the mistakes he made."
