154: Peony enters the game, the Three Pure Ones threaten West Kunlun.

As the Three Pure Ones began laying the groundwork to establish their power, all living beings and Cultivators within the scope of Kunlun Mountain were affected.

Tongtian personally intervened, directly persuading those beings to withdraw from the surrounding areas of Kunlun Mountain.

If anyone refused to give Face, Tongtian showed no mercy and suppressed them directly, even when facing Cultivators at the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection level.

If Tongtian could not resolve it in a short time, Laozi would immediately arrive with his sword to 'exchange pointers' with them.

This led to a situation where, except for West Kunlun Mountain, Cultivators and living beings in all other areas of Kunlun Mountain dared not linger and quickly fled the region.

Under these circumstances, the entirety of West Kunlun Mountain was also hushed in fear!

With the Three Pure Ones making such massive moves, who could fail to notice? Who could not know!

Although the Three Pure Ones did not immediately move against West Kunlun Mountain, no one was a fool; how could they not see the intent and determination of the Three Pure Ones?

They were simply lacking a good excuse to make things difficult; otherwise, everyone was one hundred percent certain that the Three Pure Ones would strike to seize the territory of West Kunlun Mountain.

In this state, the atmosphere across the entire Kunlun Mountain region became extremely oppressive and tense.

Even though both sides exercised restraint, more and more West Kunlun Mountain Cultivators and beings felt that things were taking a turn for the worse. Unwilling to become enemies with the Three Pure Ones, they began to evacuate the West Kunlun region.

On this day, Peony returned to West Kunlun Mountain.

She had obtained the Method of Proving the Dao she desired, but she had also paid an extremely heavy price.

She had paid several times more than other Cultivators, and all of this was because she had offended Li Yun.

Returning this time, Peony was fuming with rage. Without even speaking to the Queen Mother of the West, she went directly to where Li Yun's Dao Arena was located.

Without any hesitation, Peony launched an attack directly at the Dao Arena. Although Tongtian's Formation was present, under the indiscriminate bombardment of her Golden Immortal cultivation, the entire canyon was reduced to Ruin.

"It is done!"

At that very moment, within the Upper Pure Palace, Tongtian sensed it immediately.

A sharp light flickered in his eyes. Tongtian stood up and went straight to Laozi and Yuanshi to inform them of the matter.

"Very good!"

After hearing Tongtian's report, both Laozi and Yuanshi had the corners of their mouths curled upward.

After waiting for so long, hadn't the opportunity to reclaim West Kunlun Mountain just delivered itself to their doorstep?

Thinking of this, Laozi spoke up: "Yuanshi, Tongtian, the two of you go and capture that Peony. Then, find me at the area where the Queen Mother of the West resides!"

"I will go now to have a chat with Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West. She has occupied West Kunlun Mountain for so many years; it is time to return it to us."

"Understood!"

"Fine!"

With a response, Yuanshi and Tongtian instantly understood Laozi's meaning. Without hesitation, the two turned and sped toward the canyon.

Meanwhile, Laozi did not delay either; with a flicker of his body, he vanished from the spot.

Before long, Laozi's figure appeared at the Jade Pool Forbidden Zone where the Queen Mother of the West lived. With a thought, he summoned his sword, and the Quasi-Saint pressure and Sword Intent from his body instantly covered the entire area.

"Not good!"

"It is Laozi's aura!"

Feeling the pressure of Laozi's aura, the expressions of the Queen Mother of the West and several other Great Divine Power Holders within the Jade Pool Forbidden Zone changed quietly.

With a flicker of their bodies, a group of people arrived directly in the air.

Upon seeing the murderous Laozi, everyone knew the Three Pure Ones were going to move against West Kunlun Mountain.

Although they had obtained the Method of Proving the Dao for some time and their own strength had improved significantly, they were clearly lacking when facing a Quasi-Saint level Laozi.

Even the suitors of the Queen Mother of the West stood in place, not daring to speak or say a word.

"Fellow Daoist Laozi, are you intending to start a war with me?" the Queen Mother of the West asked as she flew forward, her expression complex.

Although she had guessed this for a long time, when the day actually arrived, the Queen Mother of the West still felt somewhat aggrieved and angry.

Unfortunately, her cultivation had not reached the Quasi-Saint level. Even if Laozi truly wanted to strike, she could not stop him, and even... "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West~"

Scanning the Queen Mother of the West with an indifferent expression, Laozi spoke slowly: "Originally, we had no intention of doing anything to you. West Kunlun Mountain is, after all, the place where you achieved Shapeshifting. We had no interest in it belonging to you!"

"However, your people have been a bit too much, actually publicly slapping the Face of my Three Pure Ones. This matter will not be settled just like that!"

"Now, I give you two choices: take your people and leave this place, and West Kunlun Mountain will belong to my Three Pure Ones from now on. Otherwise, you all are welcome to try and make a move!"

What!

Hearing these words, the Faces of the Queen Mother of the West and the others turned dark.

They understood Laozi's meaning; what he sought was West Kunlun Mountain.

It was just that they had no excuse or opportunity before. Even if the Three Pure Ones had the intention, they did not dare to act rashly and give others cause for gossip.

But now it was different. They seemed to have caught a handle, and it was a subordinate of the Queen Mother of the West who had actively provoked the Three Pure Ones, leading to all of this.

"Who was it!"

Biting her red lip with her pearly teeth, the Queen Mother of the West suppressed the anger in her heart and asked.

As things stood, she knew there was no longer any room for reconciliation.

Having given the Three Pure Ones an excuse, how could they possibly give up the fat meat at their mouths?

From the moment the Three Pure Ones expelled Cultivators from outside Kunlun Mountain and expanded their territory, it was clear they intended to build their own power. West Kunlun Mountain was also an object they had long set their sights on.

"Big Brother, we are here!"

"Big Brother, the person has been captured."

At this moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian arrived at the scene with the blood-drenched Peony.

Casually tossing Peony toward the Queen Mother of the West and her group, Tongtian snorted coldly: "Queen Mother of the West, your person is truly audacious, actually causing Ruin to Fellow Daoist Li Yun's Dao Arena and even seeking an opportunity for revenge!"

"Do you not know that Fellow Daoist Li Yun is a close friend of my Three Pure Ones? Back then, we agreed that your people from West Kunlun must not disturb or set foot in the vicinity of Fellow Daoist Li Yun's residence!"

"But what about her? She actually destroyed Fellow Daoist Li Yun's Dao Arena, completely disregarding the Face of my Three Pure Ones. Today, you either get lost and leave this place, or we go to war until death!"

Hiss—

Accompanied by Tongtian's domineering words, the Great Divine Power Holders present could not help but gasp.

Even those suitors of the Queen Mother of the West subconsciously retreated a few steps, choosing self-preservation.

No joke.

The Three Pure Ones were clearly prepared. Whether it was the inner substance or the outward Face, they had laid all the groundwork. Opposing them at this time would be a rhythm of seeking one's own death.

The Queen Mother of the West was even more furious, but she did not dare to direct it at the Three Pure Ones. She looked down at the scarred Peony Fairy and said through gritted teeth: "Peony, why did you do such a thing?"

"Who gave you the guts to do such a thing?"

"Who gave you the courage to dare destroy Fellow Daoist Li Yun's residence?"
