The crowd was also greatly surprised to see Tai Yi obliterate Kuafu the moment they met!
Di Jun knew that his younger brother was truly angry. Although Tai Yi had been with him since his transformation, this was the first time Di Jun had ever seen his brother truly enraged!
After obliterating Kuafu, Tai Yi, with a cold expression, entered Kunlun. Jiao Tu, seeing Tai Yi's arrival, was overjoyed and wanted to rush into his embrace for a hug. However, she stopped halfway, looking at Tai Yi in confusion!
Seeing Jiao Tu stop, Tai Yi snapped back to attention. Little Jiao Tu had been frightened by him!
Tai Yi immediately retracted his icy aura, transforming back into the image of an older brother next door!
Feeling the familiar warmth return, Jiao Tu immediately rushed into Tai Yi's arms and held him tightly!
Seeing that Tai Yi had returned to his usual self, Di Jun felt a surge of relief. Tai Yi's aura had been so intense that even he, his brother, felt uncomfortable!
He much preferred the warm Tai Yi!
On the other side, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti left the Demon Court and then arrived at Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain. The eleven Ancestral Witches and Hou Yi watched Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, who had arrived uninvited, wondering what their purpose was.
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Jie Yin smiled and said:
"We are here today to help the Wu tribe. We are willing to help the Wu tribe by keeping the Saints of the Demon Court in check!"
Di Jiang looked at Jie Yin. Although Jie Yin's words were tempting, Di Jiang did not believe in such good fortune.
Di Jiang asked:
"What price will our Wu tribe have to pay?"
Jie Yin thought to himself, Hongjun is scheming against your Wu and Demon tribes. You should focus on surviving first! If I wasn't afraid of Nuwa interfering, do you think I would come to help you?
Jie Yin dared not reveal Hongjun's scheme, and instead replied with a smile:
"We feel a karmic connection with the Wu tribe, so we will help you all without any compensation!"
Di Jiang scoffed inwardly. Was he trying to fool a ghost? Free help?
Di Jiang couldn't fathom why Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were acting this way, but the news was indeed good for the Wu tribe!
After speaking, Jie Yin left Pangu Hall and returned to Mount Sumeru!
Zhun Ti looked at Jie Yin with confusion and asked:
"Senior Brother, why did we need to go to Pangu Hall? Kuafu attacked Kunlun, and Di Jiang and Tai Yi would surely not let it slide. Wasn't our visit to Pangu Hall somewhat redundant?"
Jie Yin chuckled and replied:
"Who knows which tribe will emerge victorious between the Wu and Demon tribes to become the rulers of heaven and earth? We are earning favor from both sides. This way, whether the Wu or the Demon tribe wins, it will not be detrimental to us."
Zhun Ti nodded and then asked:
"Then, are we really going to help the Wu tribe by stopping our Senior Sister Nuwa?"
The smile vanished from Jie Yin's face. After a moment of silence, he said:
"We must obstruct our Senior Sister. If she intervenes, the conflict between the Wu and Demon tribes will surely not escalate. Then, we will not be able to fulfill our Master's command, and our Master will surely be displeased!"
Zhun Ti sighed and said:
"I wonder why Master is scheming against the Wu and Demon tribes!"
Jie Yin replied:
"I cannot comprehend it either. The more powerful these two tribes are, the stronger this world should become, shouldn't it?"
Zhun Ti shook his head. Since he couldn't understand it, he stopped thinking about it.
On Kunlun Mountain, Di Jiang and Tai Yi saw that the young golden crows were unharmed. After accompanying them for a while, they returned to the Demon Court. Upon their return, they immediately summoned all the demons of the Demon Court. The Wu tribe had gone too far this time; they must be taught a lesson!
The Demon Court's significant mobilization was naturally detected by their arch-rivals, the Wu tribe!
In Pangu Hall, the Great Witches from various tribes returned and reported to the eleven Ancestral Witches:
"Reporting to the Ancestral Witches, the Demon Court is mobilizing its forces on a massive scale! Furthermore, Great Witch Kuafu attacked Kunlun's protective array for reasons unknown, claiming he wanted to kill the young golden crows. Kuafu was then obliterated by Tai Yi!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jiang was greatly alarmed and asked:
"Kuafu attacked Kunlun's protective array? Why wasn't he stopped? And why is this report only coming in now?"
"Jiu Ying! You are from the same tribe as Kuafu. Give me an explanation!"
Jiu Ying immediately knelt on the ground and said:
"Reporting to the Ancestral Witches, I discovered that Kuafu had already informed Pangu Hall when he left. However, after encountering two individuals midway, he inexplicably kept circling in place!"
Hearing this, Di Jiang knew Jiu Ying would not lie and said:
"Do you remember the appearance of those two individuals?"
Jiu Ying stammered:
"I—I can't remember clearly!"
Zhu Rong exploded upon hearing this and shouted:
"What? You, a Great Witch, cannot even remember two people?"
Zhu Jiuyin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Enough, Eighth Brother! It's not Jiu Ying's fault. I fear someone is plotting against us! Otherwise, why would Kuafu go to Kunlun? Jiu Ying, rise!"
Jiu Ying shakily stood up and said:
"Thank you, Second Ancestral Witch!"
Di Jiang said:
"Eighth Brother, your second brother is correct! Kunlun is home to the Three Pure Ones. Even we, upon reaching Kunlun, would not dare to attack its protective array. Who gave Kuafu such audacity? I fear someone wishes ill upon our tribe!"
Di Jiang sighed and said:
"Notify all tribes to assemble at Pangu Hall immediately and prepare for battle! Also, all Great Witches, be mindful. If you encounter Fu Xi, do not engage him. Avoid him!"
The Great Witches, though puzzled, did not question further and immediately went to notify their respective tribes.
After the Great Witches departed, Ru Shou asked with confusion:
"Eldest Brother! Why did you instruct them to avoid Fu Xi?"
Di Jiang glanced at Ru Shou and said:
"Sixth Brother, Fu Xi is Nuwa's brother. If Fu Xi were to perish at our hands, our Wu tribe might cease to exist in this world!"
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witches felt a sense of melancholy. Despite being descendants of Pangu, they found themselves living such a tragic existence!
In the chaos, Tai Shang followed his soul's sensing and stopped in a certain location within the chaos!
Tong Tian and Yuan Shi saw Tai Shang stop, and Tong Tian asked:
"Eldest Brother, have you found it?"
Tai Shang nodded and said:
"According to my senses, that peculiar space is right here!"
After speaking, Tai Shang immediately unleashed the Xuanhuang Pagoda, shielding the three of them. He held the Golden Cudgel in his left hand and conjured the Taiji Diagram with his right.
Tong Tian, in turn, summoned the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus, which he had not used in a long time. The Immortal Slaying Four Swords and the Immortal Slaying Platform diagram hovered above his left hand. He held the Qiankun Yiqi Lock in his right.
Yuan Shi enveloped the three of them with the Heavens' Celebration Cloud, which had manifested when he took form, and then conjured the Qiankun Cauldron for protection.
He then held the Pangu Banner in his left hand and the Hong Meng Liang Tian Ruler in his right!
