150: The panicked Zhen Yuanzi, the murderous intent of the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches
At this point, killing intent surged within the eyes of the Sanqing and Dijiang.
The chaos bell!
A pangu relic!
An innate supreme treasure!
The appearance of these three characteristics directly drove them into a frenzy.
Especially Dijiang.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
Had he known that the donghuang bell was the chaos bell, he would have definitely paid any price to eliminate Donghuang Taiyi and seize it.
The Sanqing felt the same regret.
Because this news wasn't just told to them; Dijiang knew, and Zhenyuanzi knew as well.
They believed Zhenyuanzi wouldn't dare act recklessly; after all, the latter knew the consequences of offending the Sanqing and the Ancestral Witches.
But the Ancestral Witches were different.
Although they lacked Primordial Spirits, the chaos bell was a pangu relic—how could they possibly give it up?
Most importantly, they had previously given Sister Houtu a primordial spirit pearl.
That was an item capable of forming contracts with Innate Spirit Treasures. Although it could only contract three items, the chaos bell was one of them, wasn't it?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the area became deathly silent and oppressive.
Zhenyuanzi felt as though he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. Why did he have to be so curious and lean in to listen? Wasn't this putting himself on the roasting fire?
Subconsciously looking at Li Yun, Zhenyuanzi's gaze became somewhat resentful at this moment.
After all, if Li Yun had given him a hint, he wouldn't have foolishly leaned in. Now that he had heard everything, if anything went wrong, the Sanqing and the Ancestral Witches would likely target him.
Thinking of this, Zhenyuanzi couldn't care about anything else and quickly raised his hand, saying, "Dao Heart above, I, Zhenyuanzi, swear that everything I just heard will never be leaked, nor will I have any designs on the chaos bell. If I break this, let my Dao Heart collapse and let me die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they directly snapped the Sanqing and Dijiang out of it.
Exchanging glances, their gazes toward Zhenyuanzi became a bit friendlier.
After all, if Zhenyuanzi didn't know his place, the Sanqing and Ancestral Witches really wouldn't have let him off easily.
Thinking of this, the gazes of the Sanqing and Ancestral Witches all turned to Li Yun as they asked, "Fellow Daoist, can you be certain?"
"One hundred percent!"
Nodding, Li Yun didn't hide anything and spoke straightforwardly, "In fact, if Fellow Daoist Yuanshi watched carefully for a while, he would also be able to see the clues."
"The donghuang bell's concealment is indeed good, but before a Great Master of Artifact Refining like Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, the clues can still be seen."
Hearing this, Yuanshi was so remorseful he nearly slapped himself.
Just as Li Yun said, as a Great Master of Artifact Refining, he naturally could have seen some flaws.
It was just that he had been prejudiced from the start and didn't care; he didn't think Donghuang Taiyi could threaten the Sanqing, so they naturally didn't take him seriously.
If he had looked carefully back then, he might have seen the clues or even directly acted to seize it.
Unfortunately, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi had now advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm.
The difficulty of taking the chaos bell from their hands had increased significantly. Once they controlled the Demon God Palace and resurged, the difficulty of seizing the chaos bell would be even greater.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"
Almost instantly, the Sanqing and Dijiang cupped their hands in a salute to Li Yun.
If Li Yun hadn't pointed this out, they really wouldn't have noticed, and would have let a pangu relic remain in Donghuang Taiyi's hands.
Exchanging a look, Laozi spoke, "Second Brother, Third Brother, come with me!"
"Take everyone back as quickly as possible. You two must advance to the Quasi-Saint realm as soon as you can. Once Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi appear, it will be time for us to reclaim the pangu relic!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Responding in agreement, Yuanshi and Tongtian did not refuse.
Next, the Sanqing cupped their hands to Dijiang, Li Yun, and Zhenyuanzi, turning into streaks of light as they sped toward the Wu Clan Territory.
At this moment, they were already impatient.
Especially Yuanshi and Tongtian; they urgently wanted to raise their cultivation and advance to Quasi-Saint.
Otherwise, even if they found Donghuang Taiyi, with only Laozi alone, it would be difficult to block the two Ancestral Witches, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, to seize the chaos bell.
"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, I shall also take my leave!"
At this time, Dijiang could no longer sit still and cupped his hands to Li Yun, saying, "After you finish your business, Fellow Daoist, you may travel freely within the Wu Clan!"
"By the way, you have Sister Houtu's token, but there are still some restrictions. I'll give you this token of mine; with it, you can even enter the Pangu Hall at will!"
After speaking, Dijiang tossed a token to Li Yun, and the Spatial Divine Wings behind him flapped, causing him to vanish from the spot instantly.
He now desperately needed to pass the information to the other Ancestral Witches and deploy personnel as quickly as possible to find Donghuang Taiyi's tracks.
The chaos bell!
The Wu Clan was determined to have it, and no one could stop them.
It wasn't until the Sanqing and Dijiang left that Zhenyuanzi stepped forward bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you have truly poked a hole in the heavens."
"Once this matter spreads, it will be enough to make the entire Great Wilderness boil."
"It's only because Fellow Daoist Laozi's strength has reached the Quasi-Saint realm that no one is currently his match. Otherwise, even the qiankun cauldron in the hands of the Sanqing would become an object of countless people's greed."
"Not to mention that chaos bell—that is a genuine pangu relic, a genuine Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure."
Speaking to this point, Zhenyuanzi felt somewhat bitter.
Even if he knew, so what? He had already sworn a dao heart oath; this item was no longer something he could covet.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, what are you saying!"
Laughing loudly, Li Yun spoke very calmly at this moment, "I also didn't expect that the Sanqing and the Ancestral Witches actually hadn't recognized the chaos bell!"
"I have to say, Donghuang Taiyi's Refining Technique is quite good; no one has seen through the clues for so many years!"
"However, after this, those two brothers probably won't be able to continue keeping a low profile. The combined hunt of the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches... tsk tsk."
Having said this, Li Yun did not continue.
But Zhenyuanzi could see his schadenfreude and could even sense that there seemed to be a conflict between Li Yun, Dijun, and Donghuang Taiyi.
If not for that, based on his understanding of Li Yun, the latter would definitely not kick them while they were down or even plot against them like this.
Thinking of this, Zhenyuanzi's curiosity rose again, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist, is there a conflict between you and Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi?"
"You could say that!"
Glancing at Zhenyuanzi, Li Yun did not answer truthfully.
Theirs was more than just a conflict; it was an irreconcilable hatred.
Once Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi knew that it was he who stole the Fusang Tree and he who leaked the information about the chaos bell, the two sides would absolutely be at each other's throats until death.
"Li Yun, it really is you. You really didn't die!"
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
Before Li Yun could recover his senses, two figures had already appeared in the area in front of him.
They were none other than Fuxi and Nüwa, but at this moment, their gazes were complex, and their expressions as they looked at Li Yun were somewhat unpleasant!
