Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi heard this and saw the smiles on Tai Shang and Yuan Shi's faces. They immediately understood that Yuan Shi was criticizing them indirectly.
They instantly realized why Nu Wa and other powerful beings who had received favors from Xu Fang stepped forward to help Xu Fang, while the Three Pure Ones remained indifferent. It seemed they hadn't forgotten Xu Fang's kindness to them. It turned out Xu Fang had conspired with them at some point, making the Three Pure Ones wary of the two brothers!
"Damn it! This Xu Fang has never let go of us, and has been guarding against us!"
"To plot against us brothers like this, this Xu Fang is indeed not to be kept!"
Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi were filled with indignation. It turned out Xu Fang had always regarded them as enemies, and even now, while fighting with many powerful beings, he was still worried about them.
To prevent the two brothers from intervening, he had even set aside the combat power of the Three Pure Ones and assigned them to monitor his brothers.
They conveniently forgot that they had just been plotting to make a move against Xu Fang, thinking of sending him away.
However, despite their inner resentment, Tai Shang and Yuan Shi had indeed taken on the role of surveillance, but they hadn't fully exposed the situation, so it was not convenient for the two brothers to reveal it either.
"Haha! Daoist Xu Fang is indeed thoughtful and coincides with the intentions of my brothers!"
Di Jun suppressed his anger and spoke with a smile.
Dong Huang Tai Yi knew his elder brother intimately. Upon hearing his words, he immediately understood his meaning and echoed his sentiment.
"Hehe! Indeed, indeed. My brothers have not made a move because we thought of this and wanted to help Daoist Xu Fang protect his path."
Dong Huang Tai Yi chuckled, his smile extremely stiff.
"After all, Daoist Xu Fang also gave me the opportunity of the Innate Gourd. He is my great benefactor! I really want to repay him well!
I originally planned to give Xu Fang a knife later to send off this benefactor and completely resolve the karmic debt between us.
Now that Tai Shang and Yuan Shi have appeared by our side, it is probably difficult to achieve my wish, which makes Dong Huang Tai Yi extremely resentful.
How could these Three Pure Ones be so pedantic? What a great opportunity the Penglai Immortal Island is, to give up for a mere Innate Gourd?"
Tai Shang listened to Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi's words and remained noncommittal, showing no intention of speaking.
Yuan Shi, however, let out a cold laugh and retorted.
"Is that so? Daoist Di Jun and Daoist Tai Yi, do you truly have such a grateful and kind heart?"
As Yuan Shi spoke, he pointed to Kun Peng in the arena and continued.
"Didn't that Kun Peng join the Demon Clan? If you two are so grateful, why are you letting him stir up trouble and attack Daoist Xu Fang?"
Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi's expressions turned unsightly upon hearing this.
This Yuan Shi still couldn't change his condescending demeanor, and it was truly hateful that he was still pestering them!
Dong Huang Tai Yi immediately felt indignant and wanted to argue with Yuan Shi. Di Jun, with quick reflexes, pressed him down and said.
"Speaking of which, the Three Pure Ones are one. Why are only two of you here? Where is Daoist Tong Tian?"
Di Jun not only wanted to change the subject but was also curious why one of the Three Pure Ones was missing.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shi laughed.
"There are too many people with ulterior motives here. To help Daoist Xu Fang, we three brothers had to split up."
Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi immediately became vigilant. Were there still individuals here with their own agendas?
They immediately scanned their surroundings, looking for Tong Tian's figure. Soon, they found Tong Tian stealthily approaching a certain area.
"Hehe! So it's those two guys!"
"I knew these two wouldn't be at peace, and indeed they aren't!"
Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi both shook their heads. These two, who were most enthusiastic about stirring up trouble and the quickest to flee from battle, were indeed not thinking of anything good!
Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin were retreating in an inconspicuous corner, silently observing the changes in the battlefield.
At this moment, Xu Fang's fight with the powerful beings was becoming increasingly intense.
Although the powerful beings had a numerical advantage, Xu Fang's side, with the exception of Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpted and Ao Xue, consisted of extraordinary beings. With the help of a group of magic treasures, they were fighting the powerful beings to a standstill.
This made the powerful beings tremble with shock. These few individuals were so powerful that their numerical advantage could not be utilized?
However, at this point, they could not retreat and could only continue to fight with their teeth gritted.
Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin, who had instigated the battle, were now watching the powerful beings fail to gain the upper hand. They were not concerned at all, but instead were overjoyed.
"These fools, though not intelligent, are very useful tools. Excellent, excellent."
Daoist Zhun Ti whispered, overjoyed.
As long as they could hold off Xu Fang, they could act with impunity in the West and carry out their plan.
"Alright, Junior Brother, no more talk. To avoid any further complications, we should act quickly!"
Daoist Jie Yin, though also happy, maintained a sense of caution and urged them on.
Daoist Zhun Ti knew the urgency of the matter and nodded.
"Good! Senior Brother, let's act quickly and begin!"
After saying this to Daoist Jie Yin, Daoist Zhun Ti was about to disperse and act separately.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Two Daoist friends, weren't you going to contend for this Penglai Immortal Island? Where are you going now?"
Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin were startled by this sudden voice.
"Who?"
Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin exclaimed and leaped up.
Their senior and junior brothers were plotting here, and then this voice suddenly sounded. This was not good!
"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten me? I am Tong Tian!"
The voice sounded again, and Tong Tian's figure landed in front of Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin, directly blocking their path and looking at them meaningfully.
Daoist Xu Fang was right. These two from the West indeed had ulterior motives. They were acting sneakily here, clearly up to something illicit.
He had just been annoyed that this Daoist friend had refused his offer to help.
Now it seemed that Daoist Xu Fang had planned everything perfectly, trapping those who were plotting.
Xu Fang, while fighting with the powerful beings, took advantage of a lull in the battle to glance at the situation on the other side.
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones were in their assigned positions facing the Demon Clan and the Westerners, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew these guys were planning to reap the benefits without doing anything. Fortunately, I had made arrangements long ago!"
Xu Fang had always been wary of these individuals. To Xu Fang, those who threatened him were not the trouble; these individuals were the biggest trouble and the focus of his attention.
Although this meant diverting the combat power of the Three Pure Ones, being able to keep them in check and prevent them from causing trouble was a good thing for Xu Fang.
The powerful beings were not the issue; the Westerners and the Demon Clan, these two troublemakers, were the real problem!
"Besides, without the help of the Three Pure Ones, would I be unable to deal with this bunch of powerful beings?"
Xu Fang thought to himself and couldn't help but smile.
It was time to try out the new tactics that he and the magic treasures had recently developed!
