Just when Master Tongtian was struggling in the formation barrier.

Outside the barrier, Hongjun's figure finally arrived at the scene.

However, he did not enter the barrier directly. Instead, he stood outside and watched Tongtian Sect Master who was roaring and angrily inside the barrier, and could not help but sigh.

Seeing this, Haotian, who was reinforcing the barrier, hurriedly said to Hongjun respectfully: "Daozu, Tongtian Sect Master's resistance is very fierce. I am worried that I can't keep him here for a long time."

Hongjun did not say anything when he heard this, but raised his hand and threw a golden talisman into the barrier.

As the spell manifested itself in the barrier.

The formation barrier before his eyes also underwent earth-shaking changes.

The power of the surrounding heaven and earth began to gather continuously, and finally formed a huge vortex above the barrier.

When this vortex appears.

Haotian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

At this time, Hongjun said calmly: "This formation was set up by me using the power of the rules of the Great Dao. Although Tongtian was born from Pangu's original spirit and transformed into the Three Pure Ones, it is not so easy to break this formation. You stay here and take good care of him. Without my order, no matter what happens, you cannot let Tongtian out..."

"Yes……"

Haotian nodded in response.

Although he was very puzzled as to why Hongjun would imprison his disciple here for no reason.

But this is the decision made by Daozu himself.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions.

I dare not even question it!

at this time.

Hongjun suddenly sensed something again.

"Is the original here too?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and then he turned around and disappeared silently on the spot.

Wait until it appears again.

He has arrived outside the gate of Zixiao Palace.

After a while.

Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard appeared and came in front of him.

It was his second disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Master..."

Yuanshi Tianzun was a little surprised to see Hongjun personally welcoming him outside the Zixiao Palace, but he still bowed to him respectfully.

"Well, are you here this time for your senior brother's matter?"

Hongjun nodded slightly and asked.

Yuanshi Tianzun's personality is more stable than Tongtian Jiaozhu's.

So this time he did not use such extreme methods to confine the other party.

Instead, he went straight to the point and talked to him about Laozi.

"Yes, I was practicing in the Yuxu Palace Taoist temple, and suddenly I felt that the breath of my great senior brother disappeared, so I came here to ask Master. I believe that with your ability, you should know why my great senior brother disappeared for no reason, right?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked respectfully.

"Yes, I do know the whereabouts of your brother, but you must be mentally prepared first..."

Hongjun nodded with a heavy expression, a hint of compassion in his eyes.

When Yuanshi Tianzun saw this, the uneasy feeling in his heart suddenly became stronger.

He looked at Hongjun with a serious face and asked, "Master... Grand Senior Brother, could it be that he has already..."

He did not continue the conversation.

Because he couldn't believe the ending he had imagined in his mind.

"It seems that you have already sensed it. Yes, your senior brother Taishang Laojun is no longer in this world. He has disappeared, and he has disappeared completely. He will never come back..."

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was mentally prepared, Hongjun directly told him about the murder of Taishang Laojun and the absorption of Chen Li.

However, he deliberately concealed the fact that Chen Li was the reincarnation of Pangu's spirit.

It just means that Chen Li was transformed from a Sky-Swallowing Hound, and that it was a Sky-Swallowing Hound that was born to meet the calamity.

The other party wanted to swallow up the Three Pure Ones, so that Pangu's soul could be integrated into his body, and then he could destroy Pangu and gain Pangu's power.

After learning about this situation, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately clenched his fists.

"You damned evil creature, you actually dared to kill my senior brother..."

Yuanshi Tianzun gnashed his teeth and muttered, then raised his head and looked at Hongjun, and asked: "Master, since you already know what Chen Li is planning, why don't you take action to deal with him?"

Hongjun sighed heavily and said, "Do you think your master doesn't want to suppress him? You've been to the Nine Netherworld before, and you should know very well what those guys in the human race have been plotting in secret. Now that Chen Li has colluded with Nuwa and Fuxi. Now that the human race is at its peak, it has a unique blessing of luck. Even I have to pay attention to it."

"Moreover, I am currently in the critical period of fusion of Dao, and there are many restrictions. I cannot act at will..."

Hearing Hongjun's words, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression suddenly changed. He hesitated and said, "But if you don't take action, I'm afraid no one in this world will be able to control them, right?"

Although he really wanted to take action himself to avenge Taishang Laojun.

But that Chen Li was able to swallow Taishang Laojun.

This means that his strength is already above that of the Three Pure Ones.

Now people like Nuwa and Fuxi are standing with the other side.

He was worried that even if he went, it would be in vain.

The only one who can control those people now is probably their master Hongjun!
"Don't worry. The human race has always had great ambitions. They are worried that after I merge with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it will affect the fortune of their race. They will definitely gather all their living forces to attack Zixiao Palace. At that time, I only need to set up a large formation here to catch them all in one fell swoop..."

Hongjun stroked his beard and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded silently: "Master is right. The ambitions of the human race are well known. However... Zixiao Palace is a sacred place for immortals. Do they really have the courage to come here and act so recklessly?"

Hongjun nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this. I have already used the power of the Great Dao to spy on a corner of the future. It is only a matter of time before the human race attacks Zixiao Palace. But before that, you must stay in Zixiao Palace and must not leave."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "Master, are you worried that Chen Li will come and swallow me up too?"

Hongjun said bluntly: "Yes, now he has swallowed up your senior brother Taishang Laojun. If he swallows you as well, I am worried that his strength will continue to grow. After all, that guy is a variable born in response to the calamity, so we'd better be careful..."

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flickered: "In that case, I will stay in Zixiao Palace for the time being. If those humans come to cause trouble, I can also lend a hand to Master."

When he said this, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "By the way, Master, I just sensed that Junior Brother Tongtian has also come to Zixiao Palace. Where is he now?"
