If it were Zhunti, it would be fine; he had only intended to teach him a lesson. But if it were Zeus, that lecherous scoundrel, how could he allow him to recover his complete body and continue to harm others?
Thinking of this, Tongtian immediately headed in the direction from which the four streams of killing intent from "Slaughtering the Exterminate" had come!
At the foot of Spirit Mountain, Hongjun and Luohu, after obtaining the Chaos Candle Fruit, immediately consumed it and sat down cross-legged to refine the Chaos Candle Fruit within their bodies!
After Zhunti expelled the four streams of killing intent from "Slaughtering the Exterminate," he immediately channeled the energy within his body towards his severed arm. In a short while, Zhunti's arm, which had been cut off by Tongtian, grew back!
Although Jieyin had been told by Hongjun and Luohu that the Chaos Pure Origin Grass could restore Zhunti, he was still uneasy until he saw it with his own eyes. Only when Jieyin saw Zhunti's severed arm grow back did he finally relax!
With the stone of worry lifted from his heart, the fatigue of their journey into the Chaos washed over Jieyin, and he suddenly felt utterly exhausted!
Upon recovering, Zhunti immediately knelt before Jieyin!
"Zhunti thanks Senior Brother for the medicine, I will never forget this kindness!"
Jieyin helped Zhunti up and said faintly, "My brother and I need not be so formal. Besides, this Chaos Pure Origin Grass was a gift from Senior Wangshu. If Senior Wangshu had not lent her assistance, I might not have been able to find it!"
Zhunti, upon hearing a new name, was about to ask for details when Jieyin interrupted him!
"Junior Brother, I am a bit tired. Let me rest for a while before I tell you more!"
As Jieyin spoke, Zhunti finally noticed the exhaustion on his face. With a look of concern, he said, "Senior Brother has worked hard. I will escort you back to Sumeru Palace to rest!"
Zhunti understood that Jieyin's journey into the Chaos had not been easy. Otherwise, how could a dignified Saint like Jieyin be so weary? Coupled with Jieyin's tattered clothes, Zhunti realized that Jieyin must have endured much hardship on this trip!
Just as Zhunti and Jieyin were about to return to Sumeru Palace on Spirit Mountain, Tongtian's aura suddenly appeared in the distance. Jieyin frowned, and Zhunti immediately spoke:
"It must be that the four streams of killing intent from 'Slaughtering the Exterminate' have returned to Tongtian's hand. Tongtian knows that I have recovered and has come to trouble us. Senior Brother, you go back first, and I will send him away!"
As Zhunti spoke, he was about to move towards Tongtian, but Jieyin quickly grabbed him and gently shook his head.
After their last battle, Jieyin understood that Zhunti was no match for Tongtian. Now that Zhunti had just recovered, Jieyin did not want his hard-won arm to be severed by Tongtian again!
If it were severed again, he would not be able to shamelessly ask Senior Wangshu for medicine. Moreover, it was luck that they had encountered Wangshu this time; they would not be so fortunate next time!
Zhunti, restrained by Jieyin from leaving and seeing him shake his head, understood Jieyin's meaning and could only wait with him for Tongtian's arrival!
Tongtian did not keep Jieyin and Zhunti waiting long. In a short while, Tongtian appeared before Spirit Mountain!
Upon seeing the recovered Zhunti, Tongtian could not help but sneer, "Zhunti, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be able to expel my four streams of killing intent! But it's good that it wasn't Zeus. If you dare to expel the four streams of killing intent from Zeus's body, I won't mind severing your arm again!"
After speaking, Tongtian turned and left the way he came, his hurried departure leaving Jieyin and Zhunti utterly bewildered!
They did not believe that Tongtian had traveled all this way just to issue threats. Moreover, judging by his words, his sole purpose on this trip was to ascertain whether it was Zhunti or Zeus who had recovered!
Jieyin looked at Zhunti with some curiosity and asked, "What did Zeus do to offend Tongtian that he would be so preoccupied with him, even personally coming here?"
Zhunti did not know how to answer Jieyin. He only knew that Zeus had been injured by Tongtian, but as for why, or where he was injured, he was completely unaware!
Seeing Zhunti's reaction, Jieyin knew he didn't know either. He shook his head and stopped speculating. For now, Jieyin just wanted to rest. He was glad that Tongtian had left on his own accord!
"Never mind, if we don't know, we don't know. Let's go back!"
After speaking, Jieyin and Zhunti walked towards Sumeru Palace together!
As Zhunti and Jieyin were returning to Sumeru Palace, Zeus, who was cultivating in Sumeru Palace, saw the recovered Zhunti and was overjoyed!
He had always been fond of carnal pleasures, but ever since Tongtian had severed his source of joy, Zeus had grown more miserable with each passing day. Every time he looked at the beautiful women in his palace, he could only look and not touch, which was more unbearable than death. Now, seeing Zhunti, who was injured by Tongtian just like him, completely restored, how could he not be pleased!
Zeus rushed in front of Jieyin and Zhunti and knelt down with a thud, pleading,
"I beg you two seniors to also expel the killing intent that that scoundrel Tongtian left within me! I am tormented by it every day, it is simply unbearable!"
Everyone was greatly startled by Zeus's actions. Although Zeus cultivated in Sumeru Palace, he was still a Saint. To suddenly perform such a grand gesture of supplication to Jieyin and Zhunti, and with tears streaming down his face, no one could react for a moment!
After Zhunti recovered his senses, he even doubted if Zeus had indeed been injured by Tongtian. Why was it that he, also injured by Tongtian, aside from losing an arm and not being able to exert his full strength, felt nothing, whereas Zeus seemed to be undergoing some inhuman torture!
What Zhunti didn't know was that Zeus's injured area was particularly sensitive, and Zeus considered the lost part to be his second life, constantly trying to regrow it. However, each time, the killing intent from Tongtian would sever it into bloody mist. The pain in that specific area was something ordinary people could not endure, which was why Zeus had cast aside his pride to kneel and beg him and Zhunti!
Jieyin, already exhausted, was displeased by Zeus's interruption. Seeing this, Zhunti quickly said, "Senior Brother, you go and rest. I will handle this here!"
Jieyin nodded gently upon hearing this and walked past Zeus, returning to Sumeru Palace!
Seeing Jieyin leave, Zeus pinned all his hopes on Zhunti and looked at him with great anticipation!
After Zhunti watched Jieyin enter Sumeru Palace, he lowered his head and looked at Zeus, who was kneeling on the ground. He impatiently told Zeus to get up and speak. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this mess. After all, he himself had only recovered with the help of the Chaos spiritual medicine brought back by Jieyin. However, Zeus was now an ally of the Western Sect!
Seeing that Zeus was fine and not missing any limbs, Zhunti couldn't help but ask, "What were you injured in? You seem perfectly fine! You haven't lost any limbs!"
Upon hearing this, Zeus's face flushed, and for a rare moment, he appeared somewhat embarrassed!
