Thunder rumbled rapidly within the formation. Hearing the thunder and flames erupting from within, the four immortals of the Chan Sect rushed into the formation, each relying on their own talismans. Guang Chengzi removed the Zhuxian Sword, Chi Jingzi the Luxian Sword, Yu Ding Zhenren the Xianxian Sword, and Dao Xing Tianzun the Juexian Sword. Just as the four swords were about to be taken, a clear sound rang out in the sky, containing the roar of a dragon. A burst of azure light shattered the yellow mist within the Zhuxian Formation, and four golden lights flashed, carrying away the Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, and Juexian Swords.

Guang Chengzi and the others were astonished. Looking up, they saw a purple aura in the sky, with a golden dragon circling around it. On the dragon was a person, none other than the Primordial Chaos Pangu Xuantian Saint. Beside him stood four people, namely Huixin, Liaozhen, Chang'e, and Cangjie. Each of the four held a sword, which was the Four Swords of Zhuxian. At present, all four swords were suppressed by talismans, and they could not escape.

The four members of the Chan Sect also knew that the Four Swords of Zhuxian were among the most precious treasures. They were about to obtain them, but they were obtained by the four members of Penglai Island. However, the four members also knew that they were no match for them. Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to make any rash moves. They simply bowed and said, "Disciples of the Chan Sect, Guangchengzi (Chijingzi, Yuding, and Daoxing Tianzun), greet our senior uncle."

Xuan Tian waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, just take me to see your teachers." The four obeyed and led the way.

With the four swords gone and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation broken, the battle of the saints could be seen. At this moment, Tongtian Sect Leader was being suppressed by the four. Although he exerted his power and used his hands to unleash Shangqing Divine Thunder to attack several people, he was like a trapped beast, unable to win the battle. The power of the saints' battle spread out, the void shattered, and earth, water, fire, and wind surged everywhere. With the sword formation broken, the other four saints, who had been suppressed by the formation, were now greatly strengthened. Laozi and Yuanshi fought fiercely, directly forcing Tongtian to retreat. Zhunti seized the opportunity and headed towards the Qingping Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram.

Lao Jun only realized what was happening when he saw Zhunti break free of the battle. Seeing Zhunti about to take the Tongtian magic weapon, he shouted and forcefully pulled back the flat staff he was about to strike at Tongtian, instead striking at Zhunti. Jieyin quickly blocked it with his Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus. Zhunti was disappointed when he saw Lao Jun and the others turn back, and only chuckled before striking at Tongtian again, wanting to vent his anger on Tongtian.

Tongtian was already overwhelmed by the four people attacking him. When he saw Zhunti coming, he had no time to defend himself. He was determined to take the blow head-on when a foot flew through the air and landed on the Seven Treasures Tree. When the saints looked up, they saw that it was Xuantian who had come.

Xuan Tian held the Heaven and Earth whisk and swept it towards the direction of the Qingping Sword, sweeping away the sword and the image. The Heaven and Earth within the whisk fell before he turned around and bowed to the saints.

Tongtian was grateful to Xuantian for taking the blow for him, so he went to stand to Xuantian's left. Xuantian found Tongtian's appearance somewhat amusing. At this moment, Tongtian's hair had been knocked off, leaving him disheveled, his Taoist robe was torn, his face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot as he glared hatefully at the four saints who were attacking him.

When Laojun saw Xuantian arrive, he knew the battle was over, and asked, "Brother Dao, what brings you here?"

Xuan Tian laughed and said, "The matter of conferring the gods cannot be delayed, so I dared not fail to come."

Upon hearing this, Lao Jun said, "That's exactly right."

Xuan Tian looked at the two Western Saints and said, "This matter of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is truly a matter for our Eastern Land. Why are you two Daoist brothers not enjoying blessings in the Western Paradise, but instead coming to our Eastern Land?"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti laughed and said, "This world was created by Pangu, so how can there be talk of East and West? Our teacher instructed us sages to educate the world, but he never mentioned East and West."

Upon hearing this, Xuantian laughed and said, "Since there is no distinction between East and West, why does your sect call itself the Western Sect?" This left Jieyin and Zhunti speechless. Xuantian didn't give them a chance to refute him and continued, "Since your sect is the Western Sect, then you should manage the West yourself. It's best not to interfere in the affairs of the East, lest you suffer more losses than gains. What do you think, fellow Daoist?" He looked at Laozi when he said the last sentence.

Lao Jun remained silent. He had clearly witnessed Zhunti's attempt to seize the Tongtian magic treasure, but now he seemed to have second thoughts about the Western Sect's help. Hearing Xuan Tian's words, Lao Jun was at a loss for words.

Seeing that Laozi was silent, Xuantian sneered inwardly and said, "Since that's the case, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation has been broken, and there is no longer any obstacle to the Investiture of the Gods. I will return to the mountain now." After saying that, he was about to turn back when he heard Yuanshi call out.

Fifty-seven Immortal Slaying Sword Formation (6)

It turned out that after Guang Chengzi and the other three met Yuanshi Tianzun, they explained the previous situation to him. Seeing that the four swords and the diagram were all in Xuantian's hands, they were afraid that Xuantian would return the four swords to Tongtian. So they spoke up, hoping that Xuantian would hand over the four swords of Zhuxian and the diagram.

Yuanshi said, “Let me also let you know, fellow Daoist, that evil formation called ‘Zhuxian’ is hateful just by its name. The name ‘Zhuxian’ is something that Daoists like you and me do! Moreover, this sword has the names ‘Zhu’, ‘Lu’, ‘Trap’, and ‘Sever’, and it is not something that Daoists like you and me use. Now that the ‘Zhuxian’ formation has been broken, the four swords of Zhuxian and the formation diagram should not exist.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Tian chuckled inwardly, restrained the furious Tong Tian, ​​and smiled at Yuan Shi, saying, "If that's the case, then according to what you say, brother, what should be done with these four swords and the array diagram? Not to mention that this four-sword array was bestowed upon junior brother Tong Tian by our teacher as a treasure to protect the sect, even the name 'Zhu Xian' was given by our teacher. Does brother Yuan Shi doubt our teacher? Furthermore, even if this thing shouldn't exist in the world, do you have the ability to destroy it?" These words left Yuan Shi speechless, his face turning red. Putting aside the fact that the four-sword array diagram was bestowed by Hong Jun, how could a primordial spiritual treasure be destroyed so easily? Moreover, given the rarity of primordial spiritual treasures, even if Yuan Shi had the ability, he probably wouldn't want to destroy it.

Zhunti interjected, "Innate spiritual treasures are rare and should not be destroyed. It would be better to hand this treasure over to our Western Sect for disposal. Our Western Sect encourages people to do good, and this evil treasure can be given to our Western Sect so that we can use our Western Great Law to remove its evil aura and restore its reputation. Moreover, innate spiritual treasures are reserved for virtuous people, and our Western Sect has accumulated great merit, so we are rightfully entitled to this treasure." While this is true, it is likely that once the treasure is in their hands, not only will the evil not be removed, but it will generate even more malevolent energy.
