Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1264: Eight Seven Two, three Great Divine Transcendents are attacking

Whether it’s the Mystic Sect or the Buddhist door, they are mortal enemies with the Demon Sect, so there’s absolutely no chance that they would join forces. At least, that’s how it appears on the surface.

As long as no one knows, then it’s fine to cooperate with the Demonic Way behind closed doors. But in public, righteous experts must absolutely not join hands with Demonic Way experts.

Especially under the current circumstances, nearly all the experts of the Prehistoric World are paying attention to Xianyang City.

If the identities of those eight Quasi-Saints hadn’t been called out by the First Emperor, then Yun Zhongzi and Randeng would have had no problem cooperating with them.

But now that their identities had been exposed by the First Emperor, if those two continued to cooperate with them, they would be cutting themselves off from the Prehistoric World.

In the presence of so many experts, even if a Saint themselves intervened, there would be no way to argue their case.

This is the limitation that comes with their identities—one being a disciple of a Saint and the other a disciple of Taoist Ancestors. How can they consort with the Demon Path and maintain their dignity?

If it were Jiang Chen, he wouldn’t have so many concerns. Though he is a disciple of a Saint, he is also the Human King, and he must prioritize the affairs of the Human Race.

So, for the benefit of the Human Race, what’s the harm in him dealing with the Demon Path? The powerhouses of the Prehistoric World would understand, for when it comes to race, there is no right or wrong between good and evil—only interests matter.

The First Emperor is righteous, and so are Yun Zhongzi and Randeng. If the righteous combine forces with the Demon Path to go against the righteous, are they still righteous?

So, after learning the identities of those eight Quasi-Saints, Yun Zhongzi first stayed silent for a moment and then quietly put away the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi he had taken out.

Losing to Jiang Chen in the Ghost Path is merely a loss of face, something that can be reclaimed later. But colluding with the Demon Path is a stain that lasts a lifetime and can never be washed away.

If Yun Zhongzi was only silent, then Randeng’s reaction was more intense.

Because he had already cooperated with a Demonic Way expert before. If this hadn’t been discovered by anyone, it would have been no issue, but now that it had been brought to light, it was troublesome.

Of course, the main reason was Jiang Chen’s presence here, turning this troublesome issue into a matter of life and death for him.

"Damn it, Jiang Chen is also here. His heart is exceedingly malicious, if he steps forward, he definitely won’t miss the chance to slander me and will surely label me as part of the Demonic Way."

"No, I need to quickly think of a way to deal with this."

Randeng hadn’t forgotten that Jiang Chen had once wiped out the entire Spiritual Mountain under the pretext of them falling into the Demonic Way.

At that time, without any evidence, he dared to make bold claims, fabricating out of thin air and creating his own evidence.

And now, he himself had delivered the evidence of his collusion with the Demonic Way to the doorstep. If Jiang Chen saw it, wouldn’t he completely brand him a remnant of the Demonic Way?

Then, even if he died, it would be in vain, as not even the Saint would seek vengeance for him. They might even praise Jiang Chen, commending him for rooting out a remnant of the Demonic Way from the Mystic Sect.

As Randeng thought about such a scene, his entire scalp tingled. He would never allow such a thing to happen, so in his desperation, he made a move that shocked everyone.

"Damn it, I, a poor monk, was not vigilant and was deceived by these demons—what a disgrace to Buddhism!"

"Evil fiends, let us be buried together!"

With a loud roar from Randeng, he rushed directly in front of the eight Demonic Way Quasi-Saints and exploded with a bang.

This was the method Randeng thought of to prove his innocence—by dying.

My previous cooperation with Demonic Way experts was because I was unaware of their identities. Now that I know, ashamed, I’ve decided to perish with them to prove my innocence.

Without a doubt, Randeng’s actions were commendable. After what he did, even if others thought to criticize him, they would find it difficult to voice their disapproval.

However, though Randeng cleared his own name, he left the other four Quasi-Saints on the hot seat.

Among the twelve Quasi-Saints, only eight were Demonic Way experts; the other four were not. Although they hadn’t revealed their backing, the Divine Abilities they displayed clearly hinted at the influence of the Mystic Sect.

From this, it could be deduced that they were also from the Mystic Sect.

So, what were they to do now? Should they learn from Randeng’s spirit of self-immolation to prove their innocence?

"Damn it, that cursed Randeng, what an asshole!"

The complexions of these four Quasi-Saints were extremely ugly at this moment, and they couldn’t help but curse inwardly at Randeng.

If Randeng hadn’t self-detonated, they could have simply denied knowing the others’ identities. Wouldn’t the matter have blown over? Who would have seriously held it against them?

But with Randeng’s self-detonation, if they showed no response, it would prove they had guilty consciences. freewebnoveℓ.com

Fortunately, they didn’t have to be conflicted for long, as the First Emperor spoke up. He approached the Quasi-Saint who resembled Li Si and asked him coldly,

"This esteemed fellow, I am quite curious. Whose incarnation are you really?"

As he spoke, the First Emperor reached out, and from the person’s body, he pulled out a jade writing brush.

"This is the cultural artifact refined by Li Si himself, which once bore his aura. Using this item as a vessel to create an incarnation is indeed formidable."

"Had it not been for a Martial Dao will that I deliberately left in Xianyang City, you might have actually fooled the city’s arrays and entered directly into the city."
