Xu Fang originally had no intention of making things difficult for the two from the west. After all, they were destined to be Heavenly Saints by the Way of Heaven and Hongjun. He couldn't kill them, so at best, he could only drive them away like swatting flies.
However, seeing the look of relief on the faces of the western duo as they prepared to flee, Xu Fang felt displeased.
Would it be too easy for them if they were allowed to leave so readily after disgusting him?
Therefore, Xu Fang spoke at this moment, halting Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren, who were about to depart.
"This..."
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, the expressions on Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren's faces were as if they had eaten excrement.
They had thought they could leave and wait for a suitable time to exact revenge, but they never expected this person to be so insistent.
They knew what "rolling" meant, but wasn't it just a casual way of telling someone to leave? Why was this person being so literal now?
"Fellow Daoist, you see..."
Jie Yin Dao Ren spoke, attempting to reason further.
At this moment, most of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace were present. If they were to actually follow Xu Fang's command and roll, how would they have any face to stand among everyone afterward?
However, Xu Fang was too lazy to listen to their nonsense and directly interrupted Jie Yin Dao Ren's words.
"Stop spouting nonsense. If you want this matter to be settled, then roll for me!"
"Or do you think you can commit such acts and walk away without bearing any responsibility?"
"Or do you think all of us here are mere decorations?"
Xu Fang said, gesturing towards San Qing, Nuwa, and the other powerful beings.
San Qing and the others maintained a neutral demeanor, their eyes focused inward, as if detached from the situation. However, their steadfast stance beside Xu Fang clearly indicated their attitude.
The other beings present understood that if the western duo intended to get away with it, these powerful figures would not hesitate to lend a hand, reciprocating Xu Fang's earlier gift.
Having witnessed Xu Fang's generosity earlier, everyone felt that it was understandable for Xu Fang to want the final Innate Gourd Vine opportunity, especially since so many Innate Gourds had already been distributed.
As for the western duo, they had tried to bully others with their influence, and now they were facing the consequences of their own actions.
It was important to remember that the previous situation was one where they intended to kill Xu Fang. Now, Xu Fang, not relying on his own immense power to obliterate them, was merely asking them to roll to save their lives.
Such an action was truly repaying enmity with kindness, demonstrating a gentlemanly demeanor.
For a moment, all the beings felt that Xu Fang's actions were perfectly justified, and their gazes involuntarily fell upon the western duo, awaiting their choice.
"Senior Brother..." m..oΓg
Zhun Ti Dao Ren looked at Jie Yin Dao Ren. Before he could say anything, Dong Wang Gong on the other side could no longer hold back.
"It seems you've made your choice. Very well, brothers, no need to be polite!"
Dong Wang Gong spoke, preparing to command his numerous sworn brothers to act.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren were terrified.
With so many immortals acting together, they were just two individuals and could not possibly resist.
"Stop! Stop! Let's talk!"
"Roll! Roll! We'll roll, alright!"
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren shouted repeatedly. Seeing Dong Wang Gong's men poised to attack, they dared not hesitate any longer.
They bent down, clasped their hands over their heads, and began to roll on the ground.
"Haha! They're actually rolling! I thought these two would prefer death to disgrace!"
"Haven't we long experienced the thick skin of these two? It's no surprise they would act like this after what they did; in fact, it's to be expected!"
"Haha! I've long been displeased with these two, and now it's truly satisfying!"
"Keep rolling, you two from the west!"
Because of the events in Zixiao Palace, everyone had already seen through the true nature of the western duo. And after witnessing their actions earlier, they naturally held no good feelings towards them.
Now, seeing them rolling on the ground, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. The Buzhou Mountain was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Hmph!"
Dong Wang Gong snorted even more disdainfully upon seeing this.
"Do these two even deserve to sit on the futons at the front?"
"In the next sermon, I must discuss with the Dao Ancestor about moving their positions."
Ever since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had appointed him as the leader of male immortals and he had been lauded by many immortals, Dong Wang Gong had been in high spirits.
At this moment, he felt that with his relationship with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it was not impossible to not only change their positions but even expel them from attending the sermons in Zixiao Palace.
Hearing his words, everyone looked over. Seeing Dong Wang Gong's confident demeanor, they didn't say much.
Indeed, given Dong Wang Gong's relationship with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, such matters would likely be easily arranged.
San Qing were indifferent. No matter how renowned or powerful Dong Wang Gong's title as the leader of male immortals was, he wouldn't dare to interfere with them. After all, San Qing were the direct descendants of Pangu; who could compare to their origins?
However, Dong Huang Tai Yi and Di Jun, who were already quite displeased with Dong Wang Gong, now frowned even more deeply at his unrestrained behavior.
Xu Fang observed everyone's expressions one by one and sighed inwardly.
"Why doesn't Dong Wang Gong know how to restrain himself!"
But then again, it was understandable. Dong Wang Gong's dreams were becoming reality, and with the possibility of his aspirations being fulfilled, he was bound to become complacent.
However, this could not be called "a petty person gaining power," but in the eyes of others, it was still too ostentatious. This was likely already causing dissatisfaction among many, planting the seeds for future trouble.
Facing the ridicule of everyone, Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren remained silent, rolling dutifully on Buzhou Mountain, feeling that this stretch of distance was the longest of their lives.
However, fortunately, the road had an end, and they finally rolled to another path.
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren silently got up, glanced back at everyone present, said nothing, and turned to leave.
"Heh heh! Are they planning to silently remember us and seek revenge later?"
"Yes, I'm so scared!"
"Haha! With these two shameless individuals, how much achievement can they possibly attain in the future?"
Everyone dismissed this with disdain, believing that no matter how much the western duo resented everyone present, they truly didn't believe they would amount to much in the future.
Xu Fang shook his head. Little do you know that you have earned the attention of the future two great saints?
However, Xu Fang was unconcerned. The enmity between him and the west had already been forged; one more incident wouldn't make a difference.
The most important matter now was to claim his Innate Gourd Vine!
