Chapter 2098

But this could not stop the demon race's determination; in the demon race's era, the Demon Saints were immensely powerful, and the human race had no chance against them. The humans originally sought the Witch Clan's aid, yet out of respect for Nüwa Niangniang, they held back entirely.

…

After learning of this matter, Xiangliu also considered approaching Zhurong to see if they could help the human race.

Although Xiangliu had indeed been extremely brutal in the earlier Honghuang, and had always primarily slaughtered humans, due to Luo Fu's presence, Xiangliu had become less violent.

Thus, Xiangliu had developed pity for the human race.

The Great Witches of the Witch Clan were powerful.

Each possessed the rank of Early Peerless Sage, and this Early Peerless Sage level was exceptionally formidable at this time.

The Ten Demon Saints were also at Early Peerless Sage level; Xiangliu believed Gonggong could certainly accomplish it if he went, but if Zhurong used fire, it would truly be difficult.

Zhurong raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's first handle matters here on Lingshe Island; millions of lives on Lingshe Island have already begun suffering, with heavy losses…"

Xiangliu also furrowed his brow.

He did not wish to ignore it, but he knew that even if they intervened, it would make no difference.

After all, Lingshe Island's location was uniquely sensitive; even if they intervened, other demons would soon arrive, and Lingshe Island could not withstand a second strike.

This was precisely why Lingshe Island had remained in such a precarious state.

Rather, Xiangliu felt that if they repeatedly intervened in this matter, it might trigger other problems—so they had abandoned Lingshe Island and instead helped extinguish it.

"Just put out the fire. After that, leave the rest to Zi Teng Xiao Yao."

"Zi Teng Xiao Yao?"

"Didn't Luo Fu Shengren tell you? Zi Teng Xiao Yao is the little demon who delivered messages to the demon race last time—he should be here, if he's still alive."

Sure enough, Zhurong looked around and indeed spotted Zi Teng Xiao Yao waving at them.

Seeing demons, they would hide—but seeing Witch Clan members, Zi Teng Xiao Yao immediately felt reassured and hurriedly waved to greet them.

Due to Luo Fu, Zi Teng Xiao Yao held great affection for the Witch Clan, believing they could save them.

"Don't go out—you're not trying to die?"

"Yes yes, don't go out, or you'll be captured or burned alive!"

"Who is this? Are they from the Witch Clan or the demon race?"

"We don't even know who they are—how can we tell if they're Witch or demon?"
