"Um?" Just as Tongtian was about to activate the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, he let out a light grunt and suddenly looked up.
Laozi and Primordial took a few strides to Tongtian's side and said, "Tongtian, hurry to Zixiao Palace!"
Tongtian spat, saying, "Jieyin, consider yourself lucky! If it weren't for Master's urgent summons, I would have let you die on the spot! Remember, in the future, stay out of the affairs of the Eastern!"
"Pfft!"
Jieyin, having just recovered from the brink of death, was so infuriated by Tongtian's words that he spit out a mouthful of backflowing blood.
Primordial and Laozi exchanged a glance and shook their heads with a wry smile.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Qingming laughed heartily and said, "This Uncle Tongtian is quite the character! Hahaha..."
In the deep void of the lifeless cosmos, Zixiao Palace was as elusive as ever.
