It was clear that the words of Tongtian Sect Hierarch had stirred certain deep emotions within them.

Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor's face remained calm as water, silently watching Tongtian Sect Hierarch as if scrutinizing his anger. However, he did not respond immediately, but fell into silence for a moment, a silence that made the whole Heaven and Earth seem even more oppressive.

In the end, Taoist Ancestor slowly spoke, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation: "Tongtian, is this truly the answer in your heart? Since that is the case, there's no use keeping you around."

Taiching Saint's figure appeared especially distinguished among the Saints, his countenance bearing an almost imperceptible worry, as if weighing something in his heart. Finally, in this silent and oppressive atmosphere, he spoke slowly, his voice as clear as mountain spring water, yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

"My master, I beg for forgiveness, although Tongtian Sect Hierarch's words were extreme, in the end, he is still your disciple. His nature is staunch and perhaps it was just a momentary misunderstanding. I implore the Taoist Ancestor to be magnanimous and grant him an opportunity for repentance."

Taiching Saint's words were like a gentle breeze, attempting to ease the tension, his eyes flashing with hope, seemingly waiting for Tongtian Sect Hierarch to seize this opportunity.

However, a cold sneer appeared on Tongtian Sect Hierarch's face, his eyes filled with disdain and provocation, clearly not swayed by Taiching Saint's words.

"Repentance?" Tongtian Sect Hierarch's voice was full of mockery, "Taiching, do you think I would bow down and admit my wrongs at such a time? You underestimate me, Tongtian. At this point, do you still treat this person who claims to be Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor as your master? Don't you want to know where the real master has gone?"

Tongtian Sect Hierarch's words were sharp, each word like a sharp sword blade, directly targeting the heart. His stance was resolute and provocative, as if challenging the supreme authority between Heaven and Earth.

Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor's face remained calm amid dark clouds, but his voice was like the most solemn tolling of a bell in Heaven and Earth, each syllable carrying an irresistible majesty.

"Tongtian, are you truly not afraid of death?" There was no emotional fluctuation in Taoist Ancestor's voice, yet it exuded an irresistible force, "You have already consumed the Fallen Saint Pill, why are you still so obstinate and unrepentant?"

This question, like a bolt from the blue, shocked all present. Fallen Saint Pill, the forbidden elixir of legend that could cause Saints to fall, once taken, even a Saint of the Heavenly Dao could not escape the fate of death.

Tongtian Sect Hierarch's expression froze for an instant, surprise flashing in his eyes before deepening, as if pondering something. His lips curved into an almost imperceptible cold sneer, as if he had made a certain determination.

"From the moment I established Jie Sect, I resolved to seize a glimmer of hope for all beings, willing to defy Heaven itself, even if it meant my downfall, I would savor it with pleasure!"

The words of Tongtian Sect Hierarch resounded powerfully, each word as if carrying his unyielding will, echoing throughout Heaven and Earth, letting all beings know he feared no threats and would not be bound by any chains!

His figure appeared even more aloof between Heaven and Earth, his tall stature like a sword pointing straight at the sky, even under the threat of the Fallen Saint Pill, he would not bow.

The words of Tongtian Sect Hierarch were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves. The hearts of all Saints and Primordial Great Powers swayed involuntarily, their eyes reflecting complex emotions, some of shock, some of reflection, and some of veiled approval. Tongtian Sect Hierarch's rebellion undoubtedly touched something deep within them.

Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor felt all of this, a subtle light flashing in his eyes. He knew that if he did not act immediately, today's situation would become uncontrollable. Thus, he decided to trigger the Fallen Saint Pill that was hidden within Tongtian Sect Hierarch's body, to end the defiant disciple's life and prevent future troubles.

However, when Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor mobilized his mana to detonate the Fallen Saint Pill, he found the destructive force that should have erupted was unresponsive. The entire process was like casting a stone into still water without causing a single ripple, a surprise he had never experienced before.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, all eyes focused on Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor, waiting for the outcome, only to see for the first time a look of surprise on the face of the Taoist Ancestor.

Just at this moment, Yu Yuan stepped into the air, his pace light as if treading on invisible stairs, each step filled with confidence and ease. His smile carried a hint of playfulness, as if he had everything under control.

"Surprised? That Fallen Saint Pill has long been removed by me."

Yu Yuan's palm lightly turned, revealing a crystal clear elixir at his fingertips. Without a doubt, it was the Fallen Saint Pill, lying quietly in Yu Yuan's palm, yet seemingly containing the terrible power to destroy a Saint.

At this moment, everyone's gaze focused on Yu Yuan, bewildered and uncertain, not understanding how this "outer realm evil demon" had achieved this.

The existence of the Fallen Saint Pill, aside from Tongtian Sect Hierarch, was unknown to the other Saints.

Clearly, this was a secret weapon Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor had for controlling the Saints, but before it could serve its intended purpose, it was easily removed by Yu Yuan.
