Chapter 2106: The Strange Guiche!

~3 min read 539 words

Yaochi watched the changes in the Taiji Diagram, and her heart skipped a beat—she knew things couldn't be this good.

Isn't the problem with Kunpeng and Hongyun all because of Luo Fu? If Luo Fu could step in to mediate, their deadly feud could be resolved.

But could Luo Fu help?

Yaochi said: "You're too eager to see Saint Luo Fu. Saint Luo Fu's current strength isn't inferior to ours—indeed, it's far greater!"

Raised and nurtured since childhood by Ancestor Hongjun, Yaochi and Haotian possessed extraordinary power.

Moreover, Ancestor Hongjun had once told Yaochi and Haotian that the tasks ahead of them would be no less than those of others, so they must train diligently.

"Now that you mention it, I recall something from before—but all we can think of are these few things. Master might have thought of more."

"Of course, that's obvious!"

Yaochi changed tone: "Do you know where Master is? If he truly remembers, then what comes next won't be so simple."

Clearly, no matter when you start, Yaochi and the others are determined to bring the thing down.

Even if they could make contact, the demonic race couldn't be here—they'd suffered repeated setbacks on Penglai Immortal Island, and Donghuang Taiyi had endured great torment for a long time.

Donghuang Taiyi hesitated.

Those who had known Donghuang Taiyi intended to act now all changed their minds.

Master Yuanshi's words had spread throughout Honghuang; anyone with eyes knew what had sparked all this—and everyone had a chance.

If only they'd known this sooner, why bother starting in the first place?

Guiche was different from Donghuang Taiyi, but Guiche also felt himself innocent.

"I'm truly innocent! I was truly controlled! Even I don't fully understand what happened—I'm not pretending! Believe me!!"

Guiche cried out hysterically.

"What more must I say for you to believe me? I was framed! With my power, why would I slaughter a tiny Spirit Snake Island?"

"I'll say it again—I never burned Spirit Snake Island, and it was never my intention!"

Guiche spoke slowly, word by word, pause by pause.

But among the demonic sages present, who would believe him? Jimen and Feilian might believe him—but the other demonic sages all wore strange expressions.

Jimen glanced at Guiche, then nodded helplessly, signaling him to stop speaking.

Guiche had no choice.

"Can I prove it?"

"How would you prove it?"

Feidan glanced at Jimen, and both Jimen and Feilian stepped forward.

"What I mean is, if we detect true Wu clan poison in Guiche's body, then the Wu clan framed him—if so, none of this need happen."

Jimen didn't want them to turn on each other.

If this infighting erupted, enemies would strike from the shadows; their chance of holding steady would be vanishingly small, so they must act with even greater caution.

Luo Fu is stirring, eager to absorb the demonic race—if the demonic race is absorbed, all of Honghuang will belong to the Wu clan, and the Wu clan will seize the throne.

What if others don't trust the Wu clan? Then he'd trade his own things for his wife and children.

The matter between the Wu clan and the demonic race was too dangerous to think about, too perilous to ask about.
