Chapter 2236 - Swords Drawn and Bows Strung
No one was all that surprised when the Three Purities Daoist Court finally launched its attack on the Xi Family.
It would have been obvious to anyone that Xun Hong and the ten-or-so Master Gods working with him were strong enough to one-sidedly crush the Xi Family.
Had everything gone as the onlookers expected, the Xi Family would have been crushed.
But variables had arisen.
Si Ming of the unknown territory Clear Breeze Temple had come uninvited, using a whole series of hidden cards to suppress Xun Hong and the other Master Gods! As furious as they were, when you rode a tiger, it was hard to get back off. They could neither advance nor retreat.
Then, Eight-Tribulation Master God Jin Dubai showed up, warning Si Ming against getting involved in this any further.
But Si Ming responded by taking out a blackbird and ordering it to claim Jin Dubai’s head!
Then, at a critical juncture, Shao Yunke, the founder of Bright Heavens Daoist Court intervened, saving Jin Dubai from disaster.
Shao Yunke was now the first Nine-Tribulation Master God to get involved in this operation the whole world was paying attention to!
The atmosphere was incomparably stifled and oppressive. Shao Yunke was now the center of attention. Xun Hong, his subordinates, and Jin Dubai had all been reduced to side characters.
As for the members of the ancient Xi Family? From beginning to end, they were effectively outsiders. Almost no one paid any attention to them.
Admittedly, they were the nominal cause of this storm, but after all these unexpected developments, they were now of little relevance to the big picture.
