Ksitigarbha did not let Wang Yang delay any further, but instead stood out and shouted, "Wang Yang, do you dare to fight?"
Considering the time it took for Houtu and others to arrive, if they continued to drag on, it was feared that Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms would all arrive.
If they were to fight, it was best to settle it quickly before others arrived, otherwise, once others arrived, they might indeed end up fleeing in total disarray.
Wang Yang was certainly not afraid; Yuanshi Celestial Venerate and others would arrive shortly, and they had a significant numerical advantage on their side, so Wang Yang was not worried at all.
Stepping forward, the sky and earth changed color, compressing the oppressive force of heaven and earth and fiercely pressing it towards Ksitigarbha and the others.
At the same time, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and others, despite not having recovered their spiritual energy, still held their sway and stepped forward, facing the Demon Race Sages without fear.
Just as Ksitigarbha could no longer bear it and was about to make a move, one of the Demon Race Sages covered with a long robe coldly uttered a word.
After he spoke, Ksitigarbha even retracted the body he was about to move forward with.
He glared fiercely at Wang Yang but ultimately did not make a move.
"Wang Yang, should we also keep them here?"
Watching the Demon Race Sages about to leave, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect came to Wang Yang’s side and asked.
Wang Yang shook his head, not letting his side take action, and watched as several Demon Race Sages prepared to leave.
"Jiang Ziya, take care of yourself!"
Just as Wu Tian and the others were about to leave, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect said to the person in the long robe.
As the words were spoken, a shock ran through everyone, both from the Demon Race and the Three Realms, all fixating on the Leader of the Tongtian Sect in silence.
No one expected that the Leader of the Tongtian Sect actually recognized this person from the Demon Race, and moreover, that this person was Jiang Ziya.
Indeed, the reason Wang Yang had not let his men encircle them was also due to some apprehensions about these unseen members of the Demon Race.
Just as the Demon Race worried that over time reinforcements would arrive, Wang Yang also feared that a stealthy attack from the Demon Race would result in heavy casualties on his side.
Aside from anything else, ever since they had arrived, Wang Yang had felt a faint presence watching him, not daring to really fight to the death.
He might emerge unscathed, and not to mention, once a fight erupted, the vehicle Ghost Car and the Buddha of Bright Virtue and Ocean would definitely be the first to die.
The Primordial Spirit of Poxun, if left unprotected, would also only meet death.
But if Ksitigarbha were to hold him off and the hidden members of the Demon Race personally took action, then his side’s dozens of Quasi-Saints would also suffer heavy casualties.
The Demon Race was also shocked that the Leader of the Tongtian Sect could recognize the identity of Lord Jiang, and the people of the Three Realms were shocked that Jiang Ziya had managed to emerge from the Abyss of Darkness.
For a time, the forces from both sides stood apart from each other, as if space-time had solidified, remaining speechless for a long time.
"Celestial Master Tongtian, since our separation after the Divine Enthronement, I had not expected to meet you again in such a manner."
An aged voice emanated from beneath the robe, and the robe no longer obstructed the view like before, revealing an aged face.
The hair had already gone white, and the beard was even more disheveled, appearing like a beggar from the streets of Chang’an.
Only his robe was still clean, giving him an ethereal aura.
When Xuandu saw Jiang Ziya, he could not help but express his surprise.
"Zi has seen Elder Brother Xuandu, Elder Brother Yuanshi!"
Jiang Ziya gave a slight smile, greeting the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and others with courtesy.
Being a disciple of the Yuanshi celestial Venerable, it was only proper for him to address the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and others this way.
However, Wang Yang had not expected that Jiang Ziya, the leader of the Immortals who had triumphed in the great calamity of Divine Enthronement, would now also become a member of the Demon Race.
The Leader of the Tongtian Sect looked at Jiang Ziya, wanting to say something, but seeming to think of something, he opened his mouth without speaking a word.
"Younger brother Ziya, why must you degrade yourself to such a level?"
The True One Jade Void was Jiang Ziya’s elder brother and even during the great war of Divine Enthronement, the two had interacted quite a bit.
His follower Yang Jian had even greatly aided Lord Jiang.
Now seeing Lord Jiang in this state, True One Jade Void felt somewhat melancholic and puzzled.
"Hahaha, Elder Brother Yuanshi, is it I who have degraded, or is it you who have forced me into degradation?"
Jiang Ziya laugh``ed heartily, standing in front of the Demon Race Sages, even directly overshadowing Ksitigarbha.
"In the end, wasn’t the battle of Divine Enthronement merely a plaything for The Three Pure Ones? I, a mere Jiang Ziya, what am I in your eyes?"
Elder Brother Yuanshi, when we parted you were merely a Daluo Golden Immortal, but now you are a Quasi-Saint, congratulations indeed!"
Jiang Ziya spoke to the True One Jade Void, his smile containing traces of sincerity intermingled with mockery, which everyone could see.
Upon his statement, even those who had not participated in the great war of Divine Enthronement recalled the hard-working and high-achieving Jiang Ziya from the Expounding Teachings Sect, who, after his divine enthronement, had disappeared without a trace, baffling everyone.
Hearing Jiang Ziya speak thus, even the most regretful True One Jade Void did not know what to say, only able to stand aside with a stern face, silent.
"Young friend Wang Yang, although I had long discovered that you were a variable in the Calamity of Measurement of Journey to the West, I also did not expect you to reach such a stage today; otherwise, where within the Three Realms would there be any resistance?"
"However, it is a pity that the outcome has been predestined, just like how All Saints manipulated the great calamity of Divine Enthronement. Have you ever thought that the great calamity of the Three Realms is similarly manipulated by those above?"
In conclusion, Jiang Ziya smirked evilly, leaving the astonished people of the Three Realms speechless, laughed heartily twice, and left with the Demon Race Quasi-Saints.
