However, under Honored Sun's powerful pressure and orders, they could only swallow this humiliation and silently return to their sects.
The citizens of Dao City couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the city lord and the others humiliate Honored Sun like this.
After all, Honored Sun was the great Wu Zun of the Sun Moon Star Sect. He was the head of a sect and stood above tens of thousands of people. No one had ever dared to challenge his authority. Now, not only was he being challenged, but he was also unmoved. This was too strange.
"Master, where do we go next?"
Star City Lord asked Xiao Yang.
He already knew that one of the Poison Sect's four Wu Zun had arrived. From Honored Sun's expression, he could tell that the Sun Moon Star Sect was in a bad situation. Thus, he couldn't be bothered with the humiliation.
Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "That's what the news said, but it came from their mouths. How do we know if it's true or not?"
It was a cultivator's instinct to be on guard.
If Xiao Yang really believed this news and fell into their trap, the consequences would be severe.
After some thought, Xiao Yang said to the four beasts, "Do you have any way to contact the sect? Can you confirm if the sect has sent one of the four Wu Zun here? "
The Flying Apricot chuckled. "I'll do it. I have the right to share information with the Beast Pavilion Master."
Saying this, it closed its eyes and used its mind to contact the Poison Sect's Beast Pavilion Master.
After a long time, it slowly opened its eyes, revealing shock and fear.
"What's going on? Don't panic, this sovereign is here."
Xiao Yang immediately sensed the Flying Apricot's situation and comforted it with a frown.
From the Flying Apricot's mood, he knew the situation was bad. The news just now was probably a trap set up by Honored Sun and the Dao Sect. Fortunately, Xiao Yang was vigilant and didn't rush to follow.
Although he hadn't fallen into their trap, the situation was still very delicate.
It had to be known that if the Dao Sect and Revered Sun joined forces, it meant that the two major sects were in an alliance. Then the situation of Xiao Yang and the others would be terrible.
After the Flying Ox heard Xiao Yang's consolation, it slowly regained its composure and said, "It's like this. The sect has indeed sent out the four Wu Zun, but their speed isn't as fast as they said. According to the distance and speed, it will take at least a day and night for the four Wu Zun to arrive here."
"I see."
Xiao Yang immediately felt relieved.
He knew that this matter was not simple.
It must be that Honored Lord Sun couldn't take him down and saw that the Poison Sect was about to save him, so he lied and tricked Xiao Yang into leaving the city.
If it were him, he would have adopted the same strategy.
Once Wu Zun arrived, the Sun Moon Star Sect wouldn't be able to resist at all.
Therefore, he had to take down Xiao Yang before the four great Wu Zun arrived. Only then would he have the qualifications to negotiate with the four great Wu Zun.
There was no way Xiao Yang would fall for such a small trick.
"Come, let's enter the city."
Xiao Yang spoke decisively and hurriedly turned to enter Dao City.
One had to admit that Honored Lord Sun had been patient enough and his schemes were outstanding. If not for Xiao Yang's strong vigilance, he would've fallen for the trap long ago.
The Star City Lord, Bloodthirsty Iceworm, and Flamingo also knew that things weren't looking good. They cursed Honored Lord Sun's shamelessness and followed Xiao Yang into the city.
Although Honored Lord Dao and Honored Lord Sun had teamed up, this was only the beginning. Their cooperation couldn't be that close. At most, it was a superficial alliance.
Once they entered Dao City, Honored Lord Dao wouldn't act rashly.
For now, the Dao Sect hadn't done anything overboard. The Sun Moon Star Sect was the first to bear the brunt of the Poison Sect's wrath.
Honored Lord Dao wasn't foolish enough to start a war with Xiao Yang first.
He had teamed up with Honored Lord Sun to trick Xiao Yang into leaving the city, but that was the limit of what he could do right now. He wouldn't offend Xiao Yang any further.
Otherwise, Honored Lord Sun might divert the trouble away.
Honored Lord Dao wasn't an idiot and wouldn't fall for such a trick.
Dao City's City Lord Manor.
Honored Lord Dao was still sitting in the pavilion, leisurely sipping his tea with a different flavor.
He was just a bystander to the matter between Xiao Yang and Honored Lord Sun. At most, he'd tricked Xiao Yang a little. If Xiao Yang was smart enough, he wouldn't have fallen for the trap. If he wasn't, then he deserved to die.
"Honored Lord Sun, this is the limit of what this Honored Lord can do. As for whether your scheme succeeded or not, this Honored Lord has already done his best."
Honored Lord Dao muttered to himself.
The reason why he was willing to help Rei Zun was naturally because he was not willing to watch the Sun Moon Star Sect be destroyed.
However, he didn't want to provoke the Poison Sect either. That was why he'd lied.
Not long after, the City Lord of Dao City came in with a serious expression. He walked in front of Dao Master and said seriously, "Dao Master, Xiao Yang didn't fall for the trap. He didn't go deep into East City. Instead, he returned to Dao City.
"Mm?"
When Dao Master heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he chuckled.
"It looks like this Xiao Yang has some skills. The Sun Moon Star Sect is finished."
Honored Lord Dao muttered to himself.
According to Honored Lord Dao and Honored Lord Sun, once Xiao Yang knew that Wu Zun of the Poison Sect was coming, Xiao Yang would be thrilled to meet him. Once Xiao Yang entered the eastern city, it would be the day of his death. Honored Lord Sun, the city lord, and the others had already set up a sure-kill trap in the eastern city with the full power of the sect.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yang wasn't an impulsive person and didn't fall for the trap.
Frowning, Honored Lord Dao pondered for a moment. "I've already helped the Sun Moon Star Sect once and offended Xiao Yang. I can't offend Xiao Yang any further. Since Xiao Yang wants to enter the city, let him in. Tell the outside world that we welcome guests who don't cause trouble."
This implied that they were willing to protect the Sun Moon Star Sect.
"Yes, Honored Lord Dao."
The Dao City's City Lord acknowledged and retreated.
Once he was gone, Honored Lord Dao murmured, "What an eventful day."
At the inn.
Xiao Yang, the Star City's City Lord, and the four beasts had already entered a side room to rest.
Long Nü frowned and asked, "Logically speaking, this Dao Venerable has already joined forces with Sun Venerable, so why did he let us enter the city? Won't they attack us inside the city? "
The Star City's City Lord glanced at Xiao Yang and chuckled. "The Dao Sect and the Sun Moon Star Sect are closely related. If the Sun Moon Star Sect is destroyed, the Dao Sect will be affected as well. That's why Honored Lord Dao was forced to join forces with Honored Lord Sun. However, Honored Lord Dao doesn't want to offend the Poison Sect, so he maintained a neutral stance on the surface and allowed anyone who doesn't cause trouble to enter the city. This means that if the Sun Moon Star Sect is defeated, they'll protect the Sun Moon Star Sect members who enter Dao City.
"That's why Honored Lord Dao won't attack us even if he allows us to enter the city. Otherwise, his neutral stance would be a lie. If the Poison Sect takes advantage of this loophole, they'll definitely attack the Dao Sect. The Dao Sect naturally won't make such a low-level mistake."
