Compared to the Sages, River Styx was strong and ruthless enough. His strength alone was equivalent to four Sages. He only had three disciples, Liu Er, Kong Xuan, Black Tortoise, and two grand-disciples. Below the Sages, Liu Er and the other four could be said to be invincible. If the Sages wanted to attack them, they would have to go through River Styx first. Moreover, River Styx had a Puppet of Origin. As for whether he had any other trump cards, the Sages were not sure. After all, River Styx was really mysterious to them.
After hearing this, Yuanshi the Celestial Master showed a hint of bitterness on his face. The Sages were the supreme existences in the Great Desolation. All living beings in the Great Desolation respected and feared them. However, no one knew the sufferings of the Sages. With a Tendo above their heads, the so-called freedom was really limited to them. They could not be as fearless as River Styx. It was precisely because of this that they were so restrained in front of River Styx.
And it was precisely because of this that River Styx had the upper hand in every aspect. Now, their hope for the Battle of Gods Investiture was actually pinned on the possibility that River Styx would not interfere. It was a great irony. Yuanshi the Celestial Master was extremely unwilling to accept this. As a descendant of the Pangu, a Sage, and the leader of a sect, he felt extremely sullen and humiliated.
Looking at the expression on Yuanshi the Celestial Master's face, Lao Tzu could roughly guess how Yuanshi the Celestial Master was feeling now. Looking at the endless horizon, Lao Tzu the Celestial Master's eyes became incomparably deep. Such a gaze was really terrifying. Even if one had become an immortal, one would probably be deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself from it. As for what Lao Tzu was thinking, only he himself knew.

In Fangcun Mountain, Summon looked at the angry Zhunti with a worried expression. Zhunti's real body was slaughtered by River Styx and his strength was damaged. Then, the Good and Evil Corpses were slaughtered one after another. Although Zhunti could still recover, this was probably a big blow to him. In Summon's eyes, the damage to his strength and the humiliation of his reputation were all trivial matters. What he was afraid of was that Zhunti's Taoist Heart would be affected, which was the most serious problem.
Just as Summon was worried, Zhunti's eyes were full of endless killing intent. His anger and killing intent were almost condensed into substance. In the depths of Zhunti's heart, a black mass of Devil Qi was absorbing all the negative emotions on Zhunti's body and began to grow faster. If one felt it carefully, one could almost hear the voice of the Devil Qi, "More, more …"
In Zhunti's mind, the gaze of River Styx's Good and Evil Corpses when they left appeared again and again. He would never forget that gaze. It was a look of contempt, which Zhunti could not accept. He had worked so hard to become a Sage, but now, he had become the weakest among all the Sages. Even River Styx's disciple, Liu Er, was not afraid of him. How sad it was.
… ….
There was one thing that Zhunti was wrong. When the Good and Evil Corpses of River Styx, Qiankun Taoist, left, he took a look at Zhunti. However, he did not despise Zhunti, but rather felt pity for Zhunti. As a Sage, the spokesman of Tendo, and the leader of a religion, he was ruined by River Styx and Liu Er. Qiankun Taoist even sensed the spirit of Devil Qi from Zhunti.
In the past, Demon Lord Rho wanted to demonize the Great Desolation, but he was defeated by River Styx. His last remnant soul was also forced to self-explode by River Styx. Since then, there was no more Devil in the Great Desolation. River Styx obtained Rho's treasure, the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction, as well as the inheritance of Devil Dao. Devil Dao and Immortal Dao were opposite. Although River Styx was not on Immortal Dao, he was not Devil Dao either. The inheritance of Devil Dao was useless to River Styx.
The World of Heaven and Earth in Qiankun Taoist's body evolved the Three Thousand Great Ways, including the Way of Devil Dao. Therefore, he could sense the spirit of Devil Dao. However, when Demon Lord Rho was in the Great Desolation, the Way of Devil Dao was already missing. Therefore, until now, the Three Thousand Great Desolation Laws were not complete. When Qiankun Taoist sensed the spirit of Devil Dao on Zhunti, he had a hunch that the rise of Devil Dao was due to Zhunti.
When River Styx heard the news, a playful smile appeared on his face, and a ball of black light appeared in his hand. This was the Devil Dao inheritance that River Styx had been collecting. Looking at the strange light emitted by the Devil Dao inheritance, River Styx smiled and said, "Buddha and Devil, good and evil, Yin and Yang are originally one. It's just two sides. Buddha and Devil are one. Interesting, interesting."

In Zhaoge, the capital city of Yinshang, everyone in the imperial court was shocked when they learned that the Golden Rooster Ridge had been lost. They had all heard of Kong Xuan's fame, especially when they learned that Kong Xuan had killed more than ten elite disciples of the three religions. The imperial court was overjoyed. However, they had never expected that Kong Xuan would suddenly leave, and his army would retreat without a fight, and even retreat to Zhaoge.
Everyone in the imperial court knew that King Zhou would fly into a rage whenever he lost a battle. In the eyes of all the officials, these tens of thousands of soldiers were simply courting death. However, to their surprise, King Zhou did not fly into a rage for the first time after reading the letter from the leading general. Instead, he entrusted the important task of guarding Zhaoge to them, which was totally against common sense.
The officials were puzzled, and so was the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. She asked King Zhou many times, but she did not get any reason. Somehow, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox suddenly found that King Zhou seemed to be a little mysterious, but she could not tell what it was. However, since then, King Zhou went back to his usual life, and he was as muddle-headed as before. She could not feel the subtle feeling she had before.
King Zhou still lived his licentious life. After the crusade army of the Western Zhou passed the Golden Rooster Ridge, they divided into two groups again. However, under the obstruction of the Tribe of Jieism, they lost one battle after another. The disciples of the Tribe of Jieism appeared in groups, which made the disciples of the three religions suffer a lot. Twenty or thirty people were listed on the list one after another. In comparison, the loss of the Tribe of Jieism was much smaller.
In the face of the change of the Tribe of Jieism, the three religions had to join hands again, and the two groups merged into one again. The Tribe of Jieism was known as the Ten Thousand Immortals. In terms of the number of disciples, it was far more than the total number of disciples of the Tribe of Jieism, the Tribe of Jieism, and the Tribe of Jieism. If the disciples of the Tribe of Jieism were separated again, they would probably be defeated one by one. Only by working together could they turn defeat into victory and win the Battle of Gods Investiture.
After the three religions of the Tribe of Jieism and the Tribe of Jieism joined hands, they gradually began to reverse the situation, especially since there were four Quasi-saint in the three religions, while the Tribe of Jieism only had two. In addition to their first disciple, Duobao, the other one was Zhao Gongming. However, compared to Duobao, Zhao Gongming had just made a breakthrough not long before the Battle of Gods Investiture, which was also thanks to the Fate of the Tribe of Jieism.
With two Quasi-saints fighting against four Quasi-saints of the three religions, the Tribe of Jieism did not have any advantage in terms of cultivation or number. However, after witnessing the power of Liu Er, how could they put all their efforts into the Battle of Gods Investiture? They would not fight unless it was absolutely necessary. After witnessing the event of Liu Er killing a Quasi-saint, their vision became much broader.
