"Taoist Friend Pang, what do you think our bottom line is this time?" Bai Qicang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the fierce battle in the distance, asking Pang Hong beside him.

Indeed, Pang Hong held numerous positions: Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, True God of the Thunder Department, direct disciple of the Taoist Monarch, and wielder of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, among others.

But in Bai Qicang's eyes, these identities meant little. He treated Pang as a fellow Taoist, unaffected by the other prestigious titles, neither overly flattering nor overly indifferent.

Of course, Bai Qicang himself held such qualifications. Though he did not possess a divine rank in the Heavenly Court, it was merely because he chose not to. He could easily obtain a top divine rank if he so wished.

As the direct disciple of the Ancestor Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and personally trained by the Taoist Monarch, even though he was not the wielder of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the second-generation Heavenly Master was his junior brother, and his status at Dragon Tiger Mountain was beyond question.

However, Pang Hong was never one to oppress others with power. In his years leading the Shenxiao Sect, even though his position had cultivated an aura of high status, deep down he remembered his origins and never considered himself superior unless provoked.

Thus, within the Divine Land World, Pang Hong, as the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, was also renowned for his genuine cultivation practices. Of course, the leaders of other large and top immortal sects, having survived through the ages, each had their own styles. However, the leaders of various sects within the Taoist School, whether genuinely virtuous or merely pretending, all outwardly displayed a demeanor of virtuous individuals, marking a distinct difference from the Demonic Gate.

Upon hearing Bai Qicang's words, Pang Hong smiled and replied, "Uncle Yu Zhenzi didn't say much, only that it wasn't easy to gather the Five Old Lords, and they shouldn't be lost here."

Pang Hong didn't add much of his own thoughts, merely relaying the message from his Uncle Yu Zhenzi.

In truth, Pang Hong wasn't fond of the situation, annoyed by the measures of the Qingling Primordial Lord this time.

"To target a fellow God of the Heavenly Court, a Taoist colleague, be it officially or personally, is already a grave offense from my perspective," thought Pang Hong.

Indeed, the desire to Certify the Taoist Monarch by any means necessary is understandable, even if one is displeased without expressing it.

But the botched execution was infuriating. Not only did it fail, but it also nearly resulted in their own downfall, leaving Pang Hong and others to clean up the mess, which was infuriating.

To speak honestly, if those responsible were under Pang Hong's jurisdiction, regardless of the outcome, Pang Hong would punish them for such incompetence.

Additionally, regardless of the outcome of this great battle, there was no doubt that Wood Virtue Star Lord, a powerful entity with immense potential, was pushed into the embrace of the Witch Deity Teaching, distancing themselves from the Taoist School.

And this is only the beginning. With the Taoist School already a loose alliance, how could such incidents not lead to chaos and suspicion among the ranks? Will some strong figures question the tactics of the Taoist higher-ups, leading to internal doubts and division?

Initially, from Pang Hong's stance, whether from the perspective of the Heavenly Court or the Taoist School, he would have lent a helping hand to ensure a safe retreat.

But now, Pang Hong was unwilling to exert further effort, simply relaying his uncle's words to ensure the baseline.

"In that case, I understand," Bai Qicang nodded slightly, choosing not to speak further.

The communication between intelligent individuals is simplistic; a single statement suffices.

Given Bai Qicang's capabilities, his status within the Taoist School was not low, and he could usually make such decisions easily.

However, due to his retreat and limited involvement in some of the Taoist plans, he sought others' opinions for prudence when suddenly called upon to handle these issues.

When summoned, Bai Qicang inquired his master's guidance on the matter, and the Ancestor Celestial Master advised following the Longevity Taoist Monarch's arrangement, indicating the matter fell under the Longevity Taoist Monarch's jurisdiction.

"That individual couldn't sit still," Bai Qicang suddenly chuckled.

Seeing Zhu Jiuyin spring into action, Bai Qicang instantly realized the arrival of the Five Old Lords had altered the dynamics, prompting Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch's impatience.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Daoist," Pang Hong said to Bai Qicang.

Bai Qicang nodded, "I, too, am quite interested in this Ancestor Witch who controls the Time Dao."

With those words, Bai Qicang stepped forward, crossing the space before him. As he moved, he drew his sword, the sharp light slicing through the void, resembling a Sword Path Heavenly River striking Zhu Jiuyin.

"This one, hailed as the first beneath the Taoist Monarch, is indeed extraordinary." Pang Hong watched the sword struck by Bai Qicang, his expression turning solemn.

Compared to True Monarch Bai Qicang, Pang Hong considered himself a junior. When Bai Qicang traversed the world, Pang Hong wasn't even born, and even the Shenxiao Sect was non-existent at that time.
