"Fu Xi and Nuwa?"
Seeing the brother and sister step forward, Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were stunned. When did Xu Fang get involved with the Yao Clan?
"And us two brothers."
Dong Huang Tai Yi said. Although Xu Fang had interfered in the grudges between the Phoenix Clan and the Yao Clan, causing them to resent him, they had just received his Hutu from the Innate Gourd. At this moment, in front of everyone, it was not appropriate for them to pretend not to see him.
Thus, Dong Huang Tai Yi and Di Jun also followed Fu Xi and Nuwa, standing by Xu Fang's side.
Upon seeing these four immensely powerful beings from the Yao Clan effortlessly standing for Xu Fang, Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were astonished.
When had Xu Fang gained the recognition of the Yao Clan? At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Yao Clan were all standing up for him!
"You two are truly disgraceful. If I had known, we should have let Kun Peng sit with us back then!"
Tong Tian spoke, looking at the two from the West and shaking his head repeatedly. Were these the kind of people worthy of sitting alongside them?
If they had known, they wouldn't have gone along with their second brother's folly and allowed these two to snatch those front futon seats.
As Tong Tian's words fell, the figures of the San Qing also appeared by Xu Fang's side.
Although Tai Shang and Yuan Shi did not speak, their stance was already crystal clear.
If the two from the West wanted to move against Xu Fang, they would have to pass through them!
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren, looking at the San Qing who had joined the fray, were utterly speechless.
The four demons of the Yao Clan were already difficult enough to handle. Now, with the addition of the San Qing, they were only two people. How many people would one person have to fight?
"I told you long ago, these two heartless and unrighteous individuals are not to be befriended."
"Alas, I also didn't expect them to be like this!"
Two voices sounded. Zhen Yuan Zi and Hong Yun Dao Ren, speaking as they walked, moved towards Xu Fang's side and stood opposite the two from the West.
"This..."
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren looked at the unfolding scene and were truly bewildered.
Hadn't these individuals just been fighting with Xu Fang for treasures, only leaving Xu Fang with the Innate Gourd Vine?
How come they were all now standing up for Xu Fang, as if they owed him a great debt?
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, I heard someone wants to snatch your treasure. Don't be afraid, I've brought my brothers to save you!"
A voice rang out, and dust billowed from that direction.
Everyone looked closely and saw none other than Dong Wang Gong, arriving with a large group of Immortals.
"I heard what those two unlucky fellows were saying below just now. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, are you alright?"
Dong Wang Gong, leading his group of Immortals, rushed over and asked solicitously.
"Indeed. Fellow Daoist, have you collected the treasure?"
Kong Xuan, standing beside Dong Wang Gong, inquired.
He had left Jin Chi Da Peng Diao and Ao Xue to help Xu Fang, and coincidentally encountered Dong Wang Gong wandering around Mount Buzhou with a group of his newly acknowledged adoptive brothers.
Once the situation was explained, Dong Wang Gong immediately agreed without a second thought and led his brothers to assist Xu Fang in seizing the treasure.
Xu Fang looked at the grand display they were making and was momentarily at a loss for words.
The involvement of the San Qing was within his expectations, as they had just received his favor.
Otherwise, why would Xu Fang have been willing to give them the Innate Gourd? It was precisely to guard against such unexpected events.
However, the appearance of Dong Wang Gong and Kong Xuan was entirely unforeseen by Xu Fang.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Xu Fang quickly said.
"Nothing is wrong. It's these two who seem to want to contend with me."
As Xu Fang spoke, he pointed at Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren.
"Oh? Aren't these the two who were crying their eyes out in Zixiao Palace? I didn't expect them to be so brave!"
Dong Wang Gong looked at Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren and praised them sarcastically, his eyes darting about.
Should he take this opportunity to eliminate these two? Then, in the future, when attending the lectures in Zixiao Palace, he and Xi Wang Mu could also sit in the front futon seats.
Sensing Dong Wang Gong's unfriendly gaze, Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren felt like crying without tears.
This person was the leader of all male Immortals, just recently enfeoffed by the Dao Ancestor, possessing the authority to control all Immortals under heaven.
This treasure hunt on Mount Buzhou was also organized by him. At this moment, he had gathered a large group of Immortals, all of whom were staring at the two of them like hungry wolves, their gazes chilling.
Even without these Immortals, with the San Qing and others supporting Xu Fang, they were simply unable to act against him!
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were utterly bewildered. How could Xu Fang, a man of humble origins, have so many mighty beings of heaven and earth backing him?
However, regardless of their confusion, Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were very good at assessing the situation. Under everyone's intense scrutiny, they quickly conceded.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, what are you saying? We were just joking earlier."
"Indeed, indeed, it was just a harmless joke. Fellow Daoist, quickly collect the Innate Gourd Vine, lest it be snatched by those with ulterior motives!"
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren cupped their hands to Xu Fang, their faces full of sincerity.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless. Were the jokes made by the two from the West threats of death?
And "those with ulterior motives"? Weren't the two of them, the master and disciple, the ones with the most malicious intentions here?
Hearing this, Xu Fang was also extremely exasperated. These two were truly characters!
"Alright, get lost!"
Xu Fang said, as he had no desire to entangle himself further with the two from the West. He just wanted to shoo them away like bothersome flies.
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. Was Xu Fang truly so magnanimous? After how the two from the West had bullied him, he didn't seem to hold any resentment at all?
He truly lived up to his reputation as the most honest person in the Great Desolation, making it seem like an outrage against heaven to take advantage of him!
They had no idea what Xu Fang was thinking. Although the situation was in his favor and the lives of Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were at his whim, Xu Fang understood perfectly well that these two were destined Heavenly Saints. He could not kill them, nor could he truly harm them.
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Although they didn't know why he was being so kind and not making things difficult for them, since they were allowed to leave, they certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Sighing with relief, they quickly cupped their hands in return.
"Alright, alright, we're leaving!"
"Green mountains will never change, and flowing waters will run forever. We shall meet again!"
As Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren spoke, they were about to make their escape, their feet itching to leave.
This Xu Fang was truly terrifying. A mere nobody, without even speaking, countless people instantly rallied to his side, all of them mighty beings of heaven and earth.
Such a person was truly bizarre. Forget about the Innate Gourd Vine; at this moment, all they wanted was to get far away from him, preferably never to see him again!
"Stop right there. Did I say you could leave?"
Xu Fang suddenly shouted, halting them. Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren turned back in alarm, wondering what else this demon was planning.
Xu Fang looked at their discomfited expressions and smiled slightly, saying word by word.
"I told you to get lost, didn't you hear me?"
