She didn't explain anything, however.

Although she had always stayed away from the Primordial world without concerning herself with its affairs, she had sent her maids to conduct a thorough investigation into the death of Ying Zhao and was well aware of the current situation of the Three Sects of Xuanmen.

If possible, Nuwa Saint would prefer to continue her secluded cultivation in Taixu Heaven, unconcerned with the matters of the Three Realms.

Yet upon the command of the Taoist Ancestor, she had no choice but to comply.

Thus, Nuwa Saint hurriedly came from Taixu Heaven.

"Squeak!"

A light sound.

The gates of the Eight Sceneries Palace were wide open.

Master Xuan Du bowed and said, "Esteemed uncles, please enter!"

The three Saints each dismounted from their rides and carriages, and entered the Eight Sceneries Palace under the guidance of Master Xuan Du, arriving before the Human Sect Saint.

"Greetings, brother!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian, and Nuwa, the three Saints, hurriedly paid their respects.

Taiching Saint, despite his white hair and aged appearance, was vigorous and rosy-cheeked, wearing the Taiqing Fish Tail Crown, the Yin Yang Eight Diagrams Robe, and holding the Silver White Duster in his hand; his face showed neither joy nor sorrow, emanating an aura of indifference and nonchalance from within.

"No need for such formalities, please take a seat."

He invited the three Saints to sit and said lightly, "Has it been over two hundred years since we last gathered like this?"

Hearing this, Sect Hierarch Tongtian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, reminiscing about the past.

Before they achieved Sainthood, the Three Pure Ones, together with siblings Nuwa and Fu Xi, would often gather to discuss the Dao.

Yet as they each attained Sainthood one by one, the struggle over Fate was inevitable.

During the Witch Demon Calamity, various Saints used Heaven and Earth as a chessboard and all beings as chess pieces, competing in their moves.

Countless lives were slaughtered.

Among them, the Human Race created by Nuwa Saint faced the most tragic fate, being simultaneously slaughtered by both Witch and Demon clans, nearly leading to their extinction.

It was only with the aid of various powerful Saints and Sects that the Human Race's spark of life was preserved.

Yet throughout the ordeal, Nuwa Saint did not lift a finger to protect the Human Race!

In the view of the Sect Hierarch Tongtian, this was absolutely inconceivable.

Because the Human Race was the foundation upon which Nuwa Saint achieved Sainthood; if the Human Race prospered, her Dao could easily surpass those of other Saints.

On the contrary, if the Human Race went extinct, her Dao might no longer be recognized by Heaven and Earth!

At best, her grand Dao could become an insignificant path, at worst, she could fall from her Saint Position!

Because Nuwa Saint did not protect the Human Race, the surviving Human Race lost the reverence and admiration they once had for their Holy Mother and began to worship the great teachers of various powerful Saints.

After this incident, Nuwa Saint sealed herself in Taixu Heaven and never stepped foot into the Primordial World again.

Who exactly had plotted against the Human Race?

And why had Nuwa Saint not intervened?

The Sect Hierarch Tongtian had more than once tried to divine the shadowy manipulator behind the scenes, but to this day, the mystery remains unsolved.

For Nuwa Saint, the affection of former fellow disciples had long since become watered down.

And now, her return to the Primordial World was solely due to the orders of the Taoist Ancestor, for she had no choice but to obey.

Thus, after hearing the affectionate opening words from Taiching Saint, she did not continue the topic but instead spoke directly: "I am here today by the command of our teacher."

She paused briefly, her gaze sweeping over Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Hierarch Tongtian, then turned to Taiching Saint and said, "Yu Yuan, the third generation Inner Sect Disciple of Jie Sect, is in fact an Outer Heaven Demon in disguise. Teacher instructs you, Eldest Brother, to eliminate him as quickly as possible before he becomes a significant threat!"
