Seeing Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren about to leave, Tong Tian naturally understood their intentions and immediately reprimanded them.
"Whether you have any wicked thoughts is none of my business, but since Dao Friend Xu Fang has not given his orders, you two shall stay put!"
He had accepted Xu Fang's commission, and he would not allow these two to leave until the matter was concluded.
Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren exchanged glances, both feeling bitter. They, who were no match for Tong Tian even when combined, how could they possibly escape from him?
However, if they didn't leave, would they truly just wait for Xu Fang's reckoning, which was no different from waiting for death?
They immediately prepared to speak again, hoping to persuade Tong Tian.
But Tong Tian had no desire to waste more words with them. He directly pointed to the battlefield where the four factions were engaged in a fierce battle.
"You two, surely you do not wish to see these armies appearing in the Western lands one day?"
Tong Tian smiled faintly. That smile, in the eyes of Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren, was utterly sinister and extremely hateful.
Although after obtaining the two futons in front of Zixiao Palace, they had become arrogant and gathered a large number of beings in the Western lands, becoming the undisputed overlords.
However, the Western lands were a barren and impoverished place. Their so-called overlord status was nothing more than that. If not for the three forces gathering here, even one of them would be a devastating calamity for the West!
Therefore, they naturally did not want to see such a situation. They repeatedly spoke,
"Dao Friend, you jest. We actually have nothing urgent to attend to and are not in a hurry to leave."
"Yes, yes. Penglai Immortal Island is a major matter for Dao Friend Xu Fang. We must witness it!"
As Zhun Ti Dao Ren and Jie Yin Dao Ren spoke, they forced smiles, their hearts filled with bitterness.
Who did we offend that we had to provoke this devil, Xu Fang!
While regretting their actions, they also felt a sense of injustice.
In terms of their origins and backgrounds, they completely overshadowed this Xu Fang. Xu Fang wasn't even worthy of carrying their shoes.
Yet, why was it that this mere commoner, Xu Fang, had so many powerful beings and factions willing to help him?
On Xu Fang's side, Zhen Yuan Zi and the others watched the three factions battle and felt incredulous.
"Dao Friend Xu Fang, you truly hide your depths well. I never imagined so many factions would be willing to fight for you!"
"Indeed. You should have called them over earlier. We wouldn't have had to work so hard just now."
"I must admit, Dao Friend Xu Fang's ability to make friends is truly admirable!"
The deployment of troops by three factions solely for Xu Fang was truly hard to believe.
However, the facts were laid out before them. No matter how unbelievable it seemed, they had to accept it and expressed their amazement repeatedly.
Of course, they couldn't help but complain about Xu Fang. With so many allies he could rely on, he should have informed them earlier.
That way, they wouldn't have had to fight so strenuously.
Upon hearing their words, Xu Fang scratched his head sheepishly.
"I also didn't expect them to act like this!"
This was not Xu Fang making excuses; he genuinely had not anticipated that the Dragon Clan, the Immortal Court, and the Phoenix Clan would raise armies for him to fight the Demon Clan.
"I didn't want to involve them, but I didn't expect them to come on their own."
Xu Fang sighed. He hadn't notified them earlier because he didn't want to implicate them.
Now that they had come uninvited and confronted the Demon Clan, they had incurred the Demon Clan's wrath. When Xu Fang thought about how they were implicated because of him, he felt a sense of guilt.
After all, unlike powerful beings like the San Qing, they still had their clansmen to care for. Being targeted by the Demon Clan was no trivial matter.
"Dao Friend Xu Fang, what you are saying is a bit melodramatic!"
The voice of the Eastern King Duke sounded. Along with Kong Xuan and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, he descended beside Xu Fang and the others, continuing,
"Let alone the fact that the Immortal Court is developing, and it will inevitably clash with the Demon Clan sooner or later. Even setting that aside, considering our friendship, how could I stand idly by?"
The Eastern King Duke spoke with great righteousness, showing no concern for offending the Demon Clan.
"Indeed, Dao Friend Eastern King Duke speaks the truth."
Kong Xuan echoed, "The Demon Clan has already set its sights on the Phoenix Clan. When one already has many debts, adding more won't make much difference. It's better to go all out and fight, fulfilling our friendship."
Although the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas maintained a deliberate distance from Kong Xuan due to the ancient feud between the dragons and phoenixes, they nodded repeatedly upon hearing his words.
"That's right. The Demon Clan has always been arrogant and overbearing. It's time to teach them a lesson."
"Exactly, exactly. The Demon Clan even wants to occupy Penglai Immortal Island. What a pipe dream!"
"Compared to that, we prefer Dao Friend Xu Fang as our neighbor!"
"Haha! Well said. Let us teach the Demon Clan a grand lesson here, so they dare not covet these Four Seas again!"
Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Xu Fang was deeply moved and immediately cupped his hands repeatedly towards them.
"Thank you all for coming from afar to help me, Xu Fang. It is truly my fortune to know you!"
"It is our fortune to know Dao Friend Xu Fang!"
Seeing Xu Fang conversing joyfully and harmoniously with the numerous powerful beings and leaders of the three factions, creating an atmosphere of warmth and unity, the surrounding powerful beings were greatly alarmed.
It seemed that not opposing Xu Fang was the wisest choice. In the future, if they encountered this Xu Fang, they should steer clear and not provoke him lightly!
Don't provoke anyone, just don't provoke Xu Fang. This person is truly not to be trifled with!
Look at the kind of friendships he has. When there's trouble, there's no need to even call; they rush over directly!
"However, even with the help of three factions, Xu Fang may not necessarily win this battle!"
"Yes, it feels like they are fighting to a standstill."
"If the fighting continues like this, when will a victor be decided?"
The powerful beings spoke as they observed the situation on the battlefield.
When these three factions joined forces, at the beginning, led by the fearless Phoenix Clan, they naturally pushed back the Demon Clan, who could not resist.
However, the Demon Clan was, after all, the Demon Clan. Having fought in countless campaigns across the Primordial Era, their army was not comparable to ordinary forces.
After they adapted to the battle, they stabilized their lines and did not collapse, instead fighting on par with the three factions.
Currently, looking at the battlefield, it seemed to have reached a stalemate where neither side could gain the upper hand, and it was unclear how long the battle would last.
The situation that the powerful beings could discern, Xu Fang's side could also see clearly. The joy on his face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn.
Seeing their collective solemnity, Old Ancestor Ming He pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"How about I go summon the beings of my Blood Sea to help Dao Friend Xu Fang?"
Since the Dragon Clan, the Immortal Court, and the Phoenix Clan had all sent troops to assist, his Blood Sea shouldn't be a passive observer, should it? Now was the best time to deploy troops!
