"Venerable Senior, my injury is rather peculiar!"
Upon hearing this, Zhun Ti wore a displeased expression. Zeus, despite seeking a favor, was being so hesitant. Zhun Ti needed to confirm whether it was indeed Tong Tian's doing before deciding how to assist Zeus. However, if it truly was Tong Tian's handiwork, he would be powerless.
Although Tong Tian had just warned him, Zhun Ti did not take him to heart. Zhun Ti had always believed that it was his own momentary lapse in vigilance that allowed Tong Tian to find an opportunity. Once he was prepared, the victor of a confrontation between them remained unknown.
Seeing Zeus stammering, Zhun Ti's face showed displeasure.
"Zeus, if you don't tell me the truth, how can I help you? If you continue to be secretive, I will lose interest and stop caring!"
Upon hearing this, Zeus immediately grew anxious. He stepped forward and whispered into Zhun Ti's ear:
"Senior, my injury is... is... between my legs!"
Zeus stammered, but with a determined resolve, he confessed to Zhun Ti.
Zhun Ti's face showed utter shock. As if afraid others wouldn't know, he bellowed:
"What? Tong Tian is so perverse to have severed your male organ!"
As soon as Zhun Ti uttered these words, everyone turned to look at Zhun Ti and Zeus with curiosity.
Seeing their gazes, Zeus wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He quickly said:
"Senior!"
Zhun Ti also belatedly realized that his voice had indeed been too loud. However, he was truly shocked. He had dealt with Tong Tian for many years and had never known Tong Tian to possess such a perverse side!
Thinking of this, Zhun Ti suddenly remembered being ambushed by Jie Yin in the Sea of Chaos, where their private parts were utterly destroyed, causing them immense shame. Now, it seemed, this scoundrel Tong Tian was likely behind it.
Seeing Zhun Ti lost in thought, Zeus couldn't help but speak:
"Senior?"
Called back to his senses by Zeus, Zhun Ti's curiosity was piqued. He couldn't help but ask, "How did you provoke Tong Tian for him to treat you this way?"
Upon hearing this, Zeus sighed and confessed, "The first time I visited the Primordial World, on my way back, I encountered three women. My heart was stirred, and I brought them back to Mount Olympus. Little did I know they were all Tong Tian's disciples. Tong Tian came to my place, and I ended up like this!"
Zhun Ti was utterly speechless. You could provoke anyone but that stinking Taoist priest.
Seeing Zhun Ti's silence, Zeus hastily pleaded again, "I beg you, Senior, to help me expel Tong Tian's killing intent!"
Upon hearing this, Zhun Ti sighed and truthfully replied:
"Zeus, it's not that I don't want to help you. But the killing intent within me was only expelled with the help of chaotic spiritual herbs that my senior brother found in the Chaos Sea. My senior brother only brought back one plant, and it's gone. I am willing but powerless!"
Zeus's expression changed. He immediately pleaded earnestly, "Senior, I know you must have a way. As long as you can help me expel the killing intent left by that villain Tong Tian, I will agree to anything you ask!"
Hearing Zeus's words, Zhun Ti knew Zeus thought he was tricking him. So Zhun Ti said, "Zeus, everything I've said is true. Whether you believe it or not is up to you!"
With that, Zhun Ti turned and returned to Mount Sumeru.
Zeus watched Zhun Ti's departing back, his heart filled with immense resentment. He believed Zhun Ti was simply unwilling to help him and had fabricated an excuse about chaotic spiritual herbs to dismiss him.
As he was about to enter Mount Sumeru, Zhun Ti sensed Zeus's overwhelming resentment and frowned slightly. His brother and he had been in the Indonesian continent for quite some time and knew of Zeus's penchant for women. It was understandable for him to harbor resentment after suffering such a cruel blow from Tong Tian.
With this thought, Zhun Ti decided not to dwell on it any longer and returned to Mount Sumeru on his own. Everyone else, seeing Zeus alone, cast looks of pity upon him.
Seeing Zhun Ti enter Mount Sumeru without looking back, Zeus let out a tragic laugh to the heavens and then left Mount Ling without a second glance.
Satan, Jehovah, Odin, the Trimurti, and the Three Gods of Creation wanted to stop him, but ultimately, no words were spoken.
After leaving Mount Ling, Zeus's sister returned to Mount Olympus. Upon his return, Zeus immediately summoned the twelve main gods. With a grim expression, he addressed them:
"I need to leave for a period. All affairs will be managed by you from now on."
After speaking, and before the others could react, Zeus departed Olympus and headed directly for Kunlun.
On Shangqing Peak of Kunlun Mountain, after returning from Mount Ling, Tong Tian found the cold iron essence metal that Yuan Shi needed and returned to his Shangqing Peak. Upon his return, he saw that Yuan Shi was still in his Shangqing Palace. He tossed the cold iron essence metal to Yuan Shi.
"Here! Second Brother, this is what you wanted!"
Yuan Shi smiled slightly, took the cold iron essence metal tossed by Tong Tian, glanced at it, and put it away. He immediately poured ten jars of fruit wine for Tong Tian.
"Third Brother, your second brother's business is fair and honest. Ten jars as promised. If you need more in the future, come to my Yuqing Palace. My business is honorable!"
After speaking, Yuan Shi left Shangqing Palace, giving Tong Tian no chance to refuse.
Tong Tian watched Yuan Shi's retreating back and chuckled foolishly, unaware that he would willingly become Yuan Shi's little treasure trove for a long time to come.
After leaving Shangqing Palace, Yuan Shi glanced back at it and smiled wickedly.
"No more running out to collect materials myself. It's so comfortable having Third Brother handle it for me!"
With that, Yuan Shi laughed heartily to the heavens and descended Shangqing Peak with a pleased expression.
As soon as Yuan Shi returned to Yuqing Palace, he sensed Zeus's aura approaching Kunlun Mountain. Yuan Shi frowned and said unhappily.
"Zeus, what is he doing coming to Kunlun?"
In Taiqing Palace, Tai Shang also sensed Zeus's aura approaching Kunlun. Tai Shang's expression was somewhat displeased, but he also left Taiqing Palace and headed towards the mountain gate of Kunlun.
In Shangqing Palace, after Yuan Shi left, Tong Tian was about to have some fruit wine to relieve his fatigue. Just as he raised a wine jar to his lips, he sensed Zeus's aura. Sudan Fiction Network
Tong Tian had long since forgotten where he had discarded the stone cup Tai Shang had given him. He found that drinking directly from the wine jar was much more satisfying than drinking one cup at a time as Tai Shang had taught him.
Sensing Zeus's aura approaching Kunlun, Tong Tian no longer cared about drinking. He put down the wine jar and, filled with killing intent, headed towards the mountain gate of Kunlun.
At the mountain gate of Kunlun Mountain, Yuan Shi arrived and saw that Tai Shang had already reached the gate. He called out to Tai Shang.
Tai Shang nodded gently in acknowledgment to Yuan Shi, and then they saw Tong Tian approaching the mountain gate with fierce killing intent.
Tai Shang frowned and asked in confusion, "Third Brother, do you have a grudge against Zeus? What are you doing?"
Seeing Tai Shang and Yuan Shi, Tong Tian suppressed his killing intent and said discontentedly, "Big Brother, what good can that lecherous old man Zeus bring to Kunlun? I'll handle him myself, so why bother you two elder brothers to come out!"
Tai Shang chuckled and was about to speak when Zeus arrived.
"Greetings to the Three Saints!"
Both Tai Shang and Yuan Shi were stunned by Zeus's demeanor. Usually, these people were aggressive and confrontational. This time, he was so courteous that Tai Shang found it rather unaccustomed.
"Zeus, what business do you have in our Kunlun? It seems we three brothers have no particular friendship with you!"
Zeus, unfazed, glanced at Tong Tian and then said, "To be frank, I have come seeking the assistance of the three venerable seniors."
Tai Shang understood in his heart that if Zeus didn't have something to ask, he wouldn't be like this.
Before Tai Shang could speak, Tong Tian roared, "Seeking assistance? We have no friendship with you in Kunlun. Hurry up and get lost! Go back to where you came from! Otherwise, last time it was just your brother's head, but this time it will be yours!"
Zeus, seeing Tong Tian's murderous aura, paid no attention. Instead, he looked at Tai Shang.
"May I ask Saint Tai Shang, is this the hospitality of Kunlun? Although we have had past conflicts, I have come with sincerity today to visit. This action by Master Tong Tian is somewhat inappropriate."
Yuan Shi frowned and said displeasantly, "My third brother's actions are perfectly appropriate. You should leave quickly. Kunlun does not welcome you!"
Tai Shang also nodded and said, "Zeus, as my second and third brothers have said, Kunlun indeed does not welcome you. We have no guests like you in Kunlun. If you do not leave now, my three brothers will have to escort you out!"
Upon hearing this, Tong Tian immediately summoned the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
"No need for you two brothers, let me!"
As Tong Tian was about to make a move, Zeus let out a cold snort and, in anger, swept his sleeves and departed.
