Chapter 955 The Saints' Discord, the Chaos Ancestor's Departure?!
Utter defeat!
These four words, like thunder from the heavens, resounded loudly in the empty and desolate Zixiao Palace!
Every word contains a weight and despair that could cause even a sage's moral compass to crumble.
The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, which had been contorted with rage, suddenly froze at that moment.
The words of resentment that were about to burst forth from his throat were forcibly swallowed back, turning into silent astonishment.
He slowly, somewhat mechanically, turned his head. His bloodshot eyes were no longer fixed on Hongjun Daozu, who sat high on the cloud bed, but were instead fixed on Chaos Ancestor.
It wasn't just him.
On Taiqing Laozi's usually calm face, the weariness deepened. His fingers, which were lightly twirling the whisk, paused slightly, and his gaze also fell on Chaos Ancestor.
The Taoist priest, his face contorted with anguish, stopped his low chanting. For the first time, a hint of scrutiny and inquiry appeared in his compassionate eyes.
What did Hongjun Daozu mean by these words?
We suffered a crushing defeat...
Who is this being addressed to?
Is this meant for all of them, or... for the Chaos Ancestor who proposed this plan and confidently asserted that he could use it to completely annihilate Gu Changqing?
In an instant, the already oppressive atmosphere within Zixiao Palace became even more eerie.
An invisible pressure slowly rolled towards the Chaos Ancestor from the direction of the three saints.
This is a silent question, an instinctive search for the culprit after failure!
Not bad!
They clearly remembered that it was the Chaos Ancestor who spoke up and proposed to be the one to trigger the Chaos Storm.
He was also the most important leader in the past.
Currently, the Xuanmen sect has suffered a complete defeat. Should the Chaos Ancestor be held responsible for this?
The Chaos Ancestor naturally felt this pressure as well.
He was already agitated and furious because of Gu Changqing's miraculous breakthrough. Now, provoked by Hongjun's pointed words, the impotent rage in his chest instantly found an outlet!
"Humph!"
A cold snort, containing boundless chaotic evil energy, caused the entire Zixiao Palace to tremble slightly.
The Chaos Ancestor suddenly raised his head, his gray and chaotic eyes meeting the gaze of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor without any hesitation, filled with undisguised mockery and anger.
"Hongjun, what do you mean by that?"
His voice was like countless chaotic, stubborn stones rubbing against each other, harsh and eerie.
"Are you blaming me?"
"I have devised this plan with all my might, sparing no effort and even expending my own essence to trigger a chaotic storm. Is it not all to help your Xuanmen rebuild its reputation and eliminate that major threat?"
"Now that things have gone wrong, you're going to pin all the blame on me?"
"Is this the responsibility of you, Hongjun Daozu, the master of the Xuanmen?!"
Every word is piercing to the heart!
Every word is like a knife!
The Chaos Ancestor's rebuttal was sharp and biting, mercilessly tearing away the last vestige of decorum between the saints.
He directly positioned Hongjun as ungrateful and treacherous!
Both Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
For a fleeting moment, they did indeed attribute their frustration at their defeat to the Chaos Ancestor's poor planning.
But now that the Chaos Ancestor had shouted it out so bluntly, they felt a sense of shame.
yes……
The Chaos Ancestor was originally a demon god from the outer chaos, and had no significant connection with the primordial world.
In a way, Laozi, Yuanshi, and others should be grateful for his intervention.
Now that they've lost, what right do these sages of the Xuanmen sect have to criticize an outside aid?
For a moment, an unspeakable silence fell over Zixiao Palace once again.
This time, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was speechless.
He simply gazed quietly at the Ancestor of Chaos, his eyes, which were one with the Dao of Heaven, showing neither sorrow nor joy, revealing no emotional fluctuations.
But everyone knew that the Dao Ancestor's heart was in turmoil.
Seeing Hongjun's appearance, the mockery in the eyes of the Chaos Ancestor intensified.
He glanced down at the assembled sages of the Xuanmen sect, and let out another cryptic chuckle.
"Chaos...Primordial Era..."
"Perhaps, I was wrong from the very beginning..."
He muttered to himself in a very low voice.
If these words were heard by the general public, they would surely be astonished and speechless.
Wrong?!
How could someone as powerful as the Chaos Ancestor actually think he was wrong?
What an astonishing thing this is!
However, as soon as he finished speaking...
The rage and resentment in the eyes of the Chaos Ancestor miraculously faded away, replaced by an unprecedented calm and... understanding.
"I understand."
He spoke softly, his voice no longer harsh, but instead carrying a sense of clarity after profound enlightenment.
"I was born from chaos and naturally wield the laws of chaos. This primordial world is ultimately not my destiny."
"Staying here may seem like possessing the fortune of a region, but in reality... it's just putting the cart before the horse and tying your own hands."
This crushing defeat actually made him realize the true path he was on!
He finally realized that the reason why he repeatedly suffered setbacks at the hands of Gu Changqing, and even his proud Chaos Law was easily suppressed by the other party, was that he had left his home ground!
Within the primordial world, the laws of Heaven are the true rulers.
More accurately, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity are the truly powerful and unparalleled.
His chaotic laws were suppressed everywhere, making it impossible for him to unleash his true power!
Having figured this out, the Chaos Ancestor felt his mind become clear, and his entire aura changed, becoming purer and more dangerous.
He glanced at Hongjun one last time, his voice indifferent.
"From this day forward, I will return to the chaos and never set foot in this primordial world again."
boom!
These words were like another thunderclap in the Purple Cloud Palace!
The faces of Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun instantly drained of color, revealing expressions of horror.
"Senior, you mustn't!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable was the first to speak, his voice filled with anxiety.
"Now that the Xuanmen sect is in decline, and Gu Changqing has attained the Dao of Hunyuan Wuji, it is precisely the time when we need to work together to overcome this difficulty. How can you leave like this?!"
Even the Taiqing Laozi rarely spoke up to dissuade him, his voice heavy with apprehension.
"Senior Chaos, please reconsider. If you leave, my Xuanmen... will be in grave danger!"
They were genuinely scared!
Gu Changqing alone has already left them helpless and overwhelmed.
If we lose the top combat power of the Chaos Ancestor, what will the Xuanmen have to fight against the Jiejiao?
It probably won't be long before Gu Changqing and his group are able to completely destroy the Xuanmen.
Laozi, Yuanshi, and others naturally wanted to persuade them to stay.
However, upon hearing their words, the Chaos Ancestor's eyes remained completely unmoved.
"Hmph, working together?"
"You bunch of trash whose Dao hearts are already unstable?"
This time, the Chaos Ancestor showed no mercy, and his words were full of disdain for Laozi, Yuanshi, and others.
Having said that, he ignored Yuanshi and Laozi, whose faces had turned a deep purplish-red. His figure began to slowly become illusory, and the surrounding spatial laws began to twist and fold violently around him.
