Emperor Jun, Human Clan’s Saintess Nuwa, Human Sect Master Taiqing Daoist Venerable.
East King’s mind conjured these three saint-level beings, and he pondered the possibilities among them.
First to exclude was Human Clan’s Saintess Nuwa; the thought of convincing her, the creator of the Human Clan, to agree to a massacre of the humans by the Immortal Court, felt utterly impossible.
More importantly, East King had a very mediocre relationship with Saintess Nuwa, with almost no interactions to speak of.
If he were truly to go to Feng Qi Mountain, and say such things, East King feared he might not be able to leave Feng Qi Mountain alive.
Similarly, Emperor Jun was also not considered by East King.
According to East King’s guess, since both Saintess Nuwa and Emperor Jun belonged to the Demon Clan, out of regard for Saintess Nuwa, Emperor Jun probably wouldn’t agree to his plan of slaughtering the Human Clan either.
Now, East King was left with only one choice, which was Taiqing Daoist Heavenly Venerate.
It was rumored in the Primordial that Taiqing Daoist Heavenly Venerate had helped the Immortal Court in the fight against the Witch Clan; otherwise, the Immortal Court would not have been a match for the Witch Clan.
Yet, regarding this matter, Taiqing Daoist Heavenly Venerate had always remained silent and had not responded to any queries.
East King had investigated, and this rumor originated from the Twelve Ancestor Witches. As for how the Twelve Ancestor Witches came to know, he could no longer trace further.
Regarding this rumor, in the Primordial, some beings did not believe it, while others did.
Those who disbelieved did so because Taiqing Daoist Venerable had never been involved in the power struggles of the Primordial Continent, and now being a Saint, he should also not participate.
However, those who believed so thought of the performance of the Immortal Court.
Once there was an ambush by the Twelve Ancestor Witches, East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals had mysteriously disappeared.
Another time was the battle between the Immortal Court’s Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation, which managed to maintain a deadlock.
Whenever the strength of the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation increased, the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation increased as well.
Whenever the strength of the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation decreased, the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation also decreased.
No matter how one saw it, they could sense that the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was unusual.
When they observed that battle, witnessing that scene felt very strange.
Now, hearing the rumor in the Primordial, they instantly realized, understanding why the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation behaved so.
For a Saint, achieving this was far too simple.
The Immortal Court also maintained silence regarding this rumor, neither denying nor admitting it.
However, East King firmly believed in this rumor.
Recalling the past, the survival of the Immortal Court to the present, Taiqing Daoist Heavenly Venerate had played a very crucial role.
Compared to convincing Emperor Jun and Human Clan’s Saintess Nuwa, East King felt it was easier to persuade Taiqing Daoist Venerable.
Thinking this, East King did not hesitate and quietly left Penglai Immortal Island, heading towards Shouyang Mountain.
"Greetings to Taiching Saint."
East King bowed and said.
"No need for excessive courtesy, please take a seat."
Taiching Laozi spoke with a calm expression, and a yellow meditation cushion appeared in front of East King.
Looking at East King before him, Taiching Laozi thought of the rumor in Primordial, a ripple of thoughts crossing his mind.
He was not surprised that beings in the Primordial guessed there was a Saint backing East King.
After all, with the recent crises faced by the Immortal Court, using their own strength, they really could not have safely endured.
What surprised him was that the rumor could pinpoint his identity so accurately, making his previous concealment entirely in vain.
When he learned that this news was spread from the mouths of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Taiching Laozi was also surprised by the prowess of the Witch Clan.
You see, he had tried his best to conceal his presence when he aided East King against the Witch Clan.
He believed that even the other five Saints could not detect his presence.
Now that the Witch Clan, not skilled at divining the secrets of heaven, knew yet he hadn’t sensed it, his respect for the Witch Clan grew a bit more.
Of course, Taiching Laozi also had other speculations.
Perhaps it wasn’t the prowess of the Witch Clan, but rather Emperor Jun or Demon Ancestor Luo Hou who informed the Witch Clan.
He was confident he could deceive other Saints of the same realm, but was not confident in deceiving Emperor Jun or Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.
These thoughts flashed through Taiching Laozi’s mind, his expression unchanged.
Following Taiching Laozi’s words, East King sat on the meditation cushion before him.
"East King has come to Shouyang Mountain, what matter is it for?"
Taiching Laozi inquired.
Concerning East King’s arrival, Taiching Laozi guessed that he came seeking assistance.
This was not the first time it happened; before he had achieved sainthood, East King had sought his help.
"Reporting to the Saint, I have come this time to request a matter."
Taiching Saint thought to himself.
East King did not immediately answer but looked towards Xuan Dou standing beside Taiching Laozi.
He remembered that Xuan Dou was of the Human Clan, so it would be best to avoid speaking of this matter in front of Xuan Dou.
Thinking this, East King secretly gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is secretive, please ask Xuan Dou to leave."
Hearing East King’s words and looking in the direction of his gaze, Taiching Laozi suddenly realized this matter might be different from what he had expected.
