Chapter 1859: Unprecedented Crisis

Inside the Pangu Hall.

Zu Zu Yin was meditating with closed eyes.

Di Jiang sat atop the Pangu Hall; they had just been discussing how to rescue Hong Yun so he could be used by their Witch Clan.

Rescuing Hong Yun would create karmic ties with the Three Pure Ones, as well as Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti.

They knew about Kun Peng's affair, but if Kun Peng truly refused to spare his life, they could only do as much.

Kun Peng is the Demon Sage of the Demon Clan; this time Tai Yi and Di Jun would certainly defend him fiercely.

"If Tai Yi and Di Jun fiercely defend Kun Peng, can our Twelve Ancestral Witches overpower and seize him?"

"It's probably difficult."

Fire God Zhu Rong said: "Once the Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell combine their power, the damage to our Witch Clan will be considerable—we must find a way to counter it."

Zhu Rong was right; Zhu Jiuyin frowned deeply—their battle beasts might not withstand the power of the Hetu Luoshu.

Bu Shou said: "Hong Yun's situation is deeply tied to the Primordial Purple Qi on her person. It's said that Kun Peng wants to settle both old and new grudges, and also seize that Primordial Purple Qi from her."

The Primordial Purple Qi originated from the Purple Cloud Palace; whoever obtains it does so by destiny.

Even if Kun Peng seeks to seize the Primordial Purple Qi, he must have a justifiable motive, or else he risks divine retribution from the Heavenly Dao.

What was Kun Peng's true motive? Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not say. Di Jiang remained with closed eyes, silent.

Suddenly, Di Jiang opened his eyes, and a white light spread through the Pangu Hall.

"Big Brother?"

"What's wrong, Big Brother?"

The other Ancestral Witches, startled by Di Jiang's sudden awakening, all went on guard.

"Are the Demon Clan invading?"

"Don't scare yourselves."

Seeing the concerned gazes of Ju Mang and Zhu Jiuyin and the others, Di Jiang calmed down.

"Not the Demon Clan—but a distinguished guest is arriving."

"Which distinguished guest?"

"Unknown for now. Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming are escorting the guest to the Pangu Hall—he holds the Open Heaven Axe!"

At Di Jiang's words, all the Ancestral Witches sat up in shock.

The Open Heaven Axe was the weapon held by Pangu himself, and it had long since been dissolved into other weapons; there could not possibly be another Open Heaven Axe.

Unless it was a weapon from another timeline—or unless this truly was another supreme being.

And since Di Jiang dared to say this, it meant he believed the Open Heaven Axe was real.

"Big Brother, what should we do?" Bu Shou said: "Give your orders."

"Hold our position for now. Send spies to monitor the Demon Clan—do not let them learn any news. As long as the Demon Clan doesn't come, we won't have problems."

Di Jiang must first resolve Luo Fu's matter—whether friend or foe, he must find out.

If friend, fine; if foe, they must find a way to ambush and kill him inside the Pangu Hall.

Di Jiang's entire series of actions surprised Gong Gong, who had sat silently beside him—the change was unlike Di Jiang's usual demeanor.

Never before had the steady Di Jiang become so agitated over the Open Heaven Axe; Gong Gong had never seen this side of him.

Gong Gong, the Ancestral Witch, found it strange yet felt as if facing an overwhelming enemy—apparently, their Twelve Ancestral Witches had encountered an unprecedented crisis, the greatest crisis ever.
