After Taishang left, everyone rushed into the depths of the Sea of Chaos, determined to find the one who had ambushed them.
Jieyin and Zhunti, hunched over in the chaos, took hesitant steps, glancing around as if they were thieves.
Clinging to each other and looking about, Jieyin and Zhunti flew out of the Sea of Chaos. They had no clothes to cover themselves, and the Sea of Chaos was filled with chaotic energy. They wanted to form clothes from energy but couldn't mobilize it.
They could only place their hopes on the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth outside the Sea of Chaos.
As the two were rapidly moving towards the outside of the Sea of Chaos, Jieyin suddenly stopped and said to Zhunti:
“Junior Brother, do you feel someone approaching us?”
Zhunti listened carefully and replied:
“It seems there are indeed people, but they are still quite far away, I can't sense the exact number.”
Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a look. Jieyin spoke:
“Junior Brother, do you think it might be the person who ambushed us?”
Zhunti pondered for a moment and said:
“It’s possible, otherwise, who would be lingering in the Sea of Chaos for no reason!”
Jieyin was overjoyed and said to Zhunti:
“Junior Brother, the chance for revenge has come! Charge!”
After saying that, Jieyin took the lead and charged forward!
Seeing Jieyin depart, Zhunti immediately followed, exclaiming:
“Senior Brother, wait for me! I want to see who this divine being is!”
After flying for a while, Zhunti saw Jieyin stop. Confused, Zhunti asked:
“Senior Brother, why did you stop?”
Jieyin carefully sensed the surroundings, his face changed drastically, and he said:
“Junior Brother, run quickly! There are many people, they can't be the ones who ambushed us!”
Zhunti’s face also changed, and he sensed it too. Indeed, as Jieyin said, there were many people, and they were rapidly approaching the two brothers.
Zhunti looked at himself and Jieyin, naked, and thought about how anyone who could enter the Sea of Chaos was no ordinary person.
Seeing that Zhunti was still standing there, Jieyin thought about how they could possibly see anyone in their current state. He grabbed Zhunti and they both ran rapidly in the opposite direction.
The group that had entered the Sea of Chaos also sensed someone rapidly leaving ahead. Someone shouted loudly:
“Fellow Daoists, the thief is ahead! Everyone, charge!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately mustered all their strength and pursued Jieyin and Zhunti.
Jieyin and Zhunti had initially thought that the great beings of the Primordial World were entering the chaos to seek treasures, and they would simply avoid them.
As Jieyin pulled Zhunti along, he sensed the direction of the group behind them. He felt like they were being pursued.
Jieyin gritted his teeth and said to Zhunti:
“Junior Brother, something is wrong! The group behind us is relentlessly pursuing us for some reason. We need to speed up and shake them off!”
Zhunti nodded, and the two brothers immediately put all their might into their escape.
The group behind them, having finally found a trace of the thief, was not about to let go easily.
Sensing the increased speed ahead, everyone unleashed their full capabilities.
Among the pursuers were many who were adept at speed, and many possessed spiritual treasures that could enhance their speed.
Seeing that the distance between them and the thief ahead was not closing, some of them said:
“Fellow Daoists, let us use our secret techniques to increase our speed and intercept this thief. You all provide support from behind!”
After a chorus of assent, those skilled in speed greatly increased their pace and immediately rushed towards Jieyin and Zhunti.
“Thief, don’t run! If you don’t give an explanation today, we will not rest!”
Hearing the voices from behind, Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other in confusion. Jieyin asked Zhunti:
“Junior Brother! Have you offended someone?”
Zhunti looked at Jieyin equally bewildered and replied:
“Senior Brother, no! I thought it was you!”
Seeing that neither of them had offended anyone, they immediately spoke:
“Fellow Daoists, we are Jieyin and Zhunti from the West!”
“Shameless wretches! You actually dare to try and deceive us! If you were truly Jieyin and Zhunti, why would you be running?”
Hearing the voices from behind, Jieyin and Zhunti anxiously said:
“Fellow Daoists, we are truly Jieyin and Zhunti!”
“Nonsense! If you are truly Jieyin and Zhunti, do you dare to stop?”
Jieyin and Zhunti were immediately speechless. If they could stop, why would they be running like this! Jieyin looked at himself and Zhunti and said:
“Fellow Daoists, it is inconvenient for us!”
“The thief dares to try and trick us again! We will tear you to shreds later!”
Listening to the voices from behind, Jieyin and Zhunti knew there must be a misunderstanding, but the main issue was that it was inconvenient for them to be seen right now!
Seeing that talking was useless, Jieyin and Zhunti stopped speaking and poured all their cultivation into their speed, hoping to escape the pursuing crowd.
The group behind them, seeing that there was no longer any sound from ahead, assumed that the thief had seen through their ruse and, knowing they could no longer deceive them, ceased their futile efforts.
Seeing that they still couldn't catch up to the thief ahead, some of the group members hardened their expressions, struck their chests, and spat out a large mouthful of blood onto their spiritual treasures.
Their speed suddenly increased, and they spotted two figures ahead. However, due to the extreme speed, they couldn't distinguish them, only finding them somewhat familiar!
However, these individuals had used their vital essence and blood, their minds were already consumed by rage, and they didn't bother to examine closely.
Upon seeing the figures, they unleashed their full power and sent an attack towards the two figures.
Jieyin and Zhunti dared not be careless. They quickly turned and unleashed an attack of their own, deflecting the incoming attack.
However, by dispelling this one attack, Jieyin and Zhunti were forced to pause for a mere instant. Though it was only a moment, it was enough for those behind them.
Who among the group behind them was not a cultivator of high standing? After Jieyin and Zhunti dispersed the attack, everyone surrounded them.
Everyone looked closely and exclaimed, “Holy crap! It really is Jieyin and Zhunti!” However, they were both naked and standing together!
This!
This!
This!
Seeing the naked Jieyin and Zhunti, everyone immediately turned away awkwardly and said:
“Apologies! We truly had no idea that you two fellow Daoists had such a relationship! We bid farewell!”
After saying that, they immediately left, as if afraid of disturbing Jieyin and Zhunti’s… good times!
The group came and went as quickly as they had arrived. Jieyin and Zhunti hadn't even reacted before everyone had vanished, their speed even faster than when they arrived.
Jieyin suddenly reacted and shouted:
“Listen to me! It’s not what you think!”
Jieyin shouted with all his might, but everyone had already left.
After everyone left, seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti were not pursuing them, they breathed a sigh of relief, as if the ones behind them were not Jieyin and Zhunti, but two demons.
The group, in small clusters, discussed everything they had just witnessed.
“I never would have imagined that Jieyin and Zhunti had that kind of relationship! It’s truly unbelievable!”
“Who would have thought! You can know a person’s face but not their heart! If we hadn’t stumbled upon it today, who would have believed it!”
“Indeed, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it! They were even having an outdoor affair! They’re quite adventurous!”
“Alas! When I saw them at Zixiao Palace just now, I only thought they had strange attire and were a bit disheveled. I never expected them to be like this. I wonder if everyone in the West forms same-sex Daoist couples?”
……
One wonders if, in the future, when Jieyin and Zhunti utter the phrase, “Fellow Daoist, you have a destiny with my West,” people will reply, “I’m not into that!”
