Chapter 97: The Ancestral Witches' Terror
Zhenyuanzi and the others, who were originally curious, were likewise stunned by the scene before them.
They discovered that things were somewhat strange, but they had not expected it to be this bizarre, with even Nuwa involved.
The key was that after being discovered by the Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witch, they still dared to capture members of the Witch and Demon Clans so unscrupulously.
One must know, they had just witnessed the power of the Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witch with their own eyes; what exactly were Tian Yuan, Nuwa, and the others trying to do! "Pan Wang, who is that person so bold? We have never seen them in Purple Heaven Palace!" Dong Wanggong looked at Tian Yuan in the distance, his face showing shock.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak, not giving the slightest bit of face to the Witch and Demon Clans—Dong Wanggong truly found it hard to imagine.
Not to mention that the twelve Ancestral Witches traversed the Primordial World and the Demon Court had already become a major power with gathered fortune, who else would dare to stroke their tiger whiskers at this time, and offend two of them at once?
Pan Wang looked at the Treasure Gourd in Huluwa's palm, shook his head, and also said in surprise: "That child is likely not simple either."
Both were among the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, and they knew almost all the Innate Sacred of the Primordial World, yet they had never seen these two.
When the Dao Ancestor preached in Purple Heaven Palace, his Saintly voice spread throughout the Primordial World; was there anyone who hadn't gone?
At this very moment, not only Dong Wanggong and his companion, but all those around who were seeing Tian Yuan for the first time developed a deep interest.
This curiosity even surpassed the strangeness of Nuwa being a Demon Emperor.
The Dao Ancestor preached the cultivation path after Great Luo; who could refuse such a temptation? "Little sister!" Fuxi looked at the figure following Tian Yuan as they left, hurriedly sending a sound transmission.
He was the Xi Emperor of the Demon Court, and Nuwa was also a Demon Emperor of the Demon Court; he had previously felt that things were a bit odd, but he hadn't expected her to get mixed up with Tian Yuan.
How many times had Nuwa even met Tian Yuan?
Fuxi did not know why Nuwa did this, nor did he understand what exactly Tian Yuan wanted to do. But in this situation, Nuwa's behavior would definitely seriously affect the reputation of the Demon Court.
Nuwa glanced back at Fuxi and landed calmly on Mount Buzhou.
Compared to the ambitious Di Jun and Taiyi, she trusted Tian Yuan on Mount Buzhou more.
She was not a hesitant person; since she had already made a decision, she should show sincerity.
Seeing Nuwa's figure disappear, Fuxi's expression became incomparably ugly.
He had originally thought his little sister approved of the Demon Court; he had not wanted the final outcome to turn out like this.
The battle between the Witch and Demon Clans had lasted for quite some time, and Fuxi did not know how many members of the Demon Court Tian Yuan had captured.
Because of the obstruction by the various members of the Witch and Demon Clans in the air, Tian Yuan and the three others all successfully submerged into Mount Buzhou.
Dijiang and the others, who had chased in anger, finally stopped before Mount Buzhou and let out earth-shaking roars.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the irritable Ancestral Witches did not actually break into the mountain; they only vented at the foot of the mountain before retreating.
Di Jun and Taiyi stood in the air, both of their expressions very poor.
They had originally thought it was just a battle with the Witch Clan; they had not expected someone to fish in troubled waters.
Openly provoking the Witch and Demon Clans—what was that Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain intending to do?
Glancing at the manic Ancestral Witches leaving, Di Jun and Taiyi looked at each other, their eyes filled with suspicion.
The temperament of the Ancestral Witches was well known not just to them, but to all the Innate Sacred of the entire Primordial World; this did not seem like their style.
What Tian Yuan had captured included not only Demon Saints of the Demon Court but also Great Witches of the Witch Clan.
At this moment, the two Demon Emperors realized they knew nothing about the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain, nor did they know what kind of conflict existed between Tian Yuan and the Witch Clan.
"Two Demon Emperor Lords! It is Fuxi's fault!" Fuxi flew forward, his face showing shame.
In the battle between the Witch and Demon Clans, he had failed to display the might of the Demon Court, and instead, a stone man had stolen all the limelight.
More importantly, Nuwa, as one of the four Emperors of the Demon Court, had actually gotten mixed up with the other party.
Taiyi's expression was cold, revealing nothing, but Di Jun put away the anger on his face and said softly: "This matter has nothing to do with the Xi Emperor. For now, gather the Demon Race first; we shall discuss it later!"
Although he was slightly annoyed because of the matter with Nuwa, Di Jun still highly approved of Fuxi's loyalty to the Demon Court.
The matter had already happened and could not be reversed; for now, counting the casualties of the Demon Court was the priority.
The Witch and Demon Clans were numerous, and the battle had lasted a long time; Di Jun did not know when Tian Yuan had started his actions.
However, he still had to find a way to deal with those members of the Demon Race captured by the other party.
"Brother, are we just leaving like this?" Hearing the implication in Di Jun's words, Taiyi asked in a deep voice.
This was supposed to be a great opportunity to revitalize the Demon Court, yet it had been ruined by Tian Yuan like this; Taiyi felt some unwillingness in his heart.
"There will be plenty of time in the future!" Scanning Mount Buzhou, Di Jun leaped and headed toward the Demon Court.
A cold glint flashed in Taiyi's eyes as he followed closely behind; he knew it was because of their current condition.
If it weren't for the excessive consumption from fighting the Ancestral Witches, plus the strange reaction of Dijiang and the others, he would have already rushed onto Mount Buzhou.
Tian Yuan had previously robbed him of his opportunity on Mount Buzhou, and now he was plotting against the Demon Court like this—he must be killed!
Fuxi turned his head to look at the towering Heavenly Pillar, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly chased after the two Demon Emperors.
Once the matters were handled, he would definitely have to make a trip to Mount Buzhou to see his little sister and ask her what she was thinking.
In his heart, Fuxi also felt a touch of annoyance toward Tian Yuan, whom he had met a few times.
He had been polite enough to Tian Yuan, even warmly inviting the other party to join the Demon Court earlier.
It would have been one thing if he had just refused, but he hadn't expected him to turn against the Demon Court and even abduct his little sister.
The many Innate Sacred waiting around had never expected the first battle between the Witch and Demon Clans to end in such a way.
"Zhenyuanzi! Let us go and see Brother Tian Yuan quickly!" Hongyun's eyes were full of curiosity, and he was about to head toward Mount Buzhou.
Zhenyuanzi, who had come to his senses, hurriedly pulled him back: "The timing is not right; let us go back first."
Having said that, without waiting for Hongyun to speak again, he immediately fled toward Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain.
Although he was equally curious about Tian Yuan's actions, it was clearly not suitable to meet now; those Ancestral Witches were all in the distance.
If things went wrong, the moment they approached Mount Buzhou, the furious Ancestral Witches might charge over again. Glancing at the foot of Mount Buzhou, Hongyun pouted, quite dissatisfied.
Although he was very annoyed by the arrogance of the Ancestral Witches, Hongyun had to admit that the other party indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
Lingeringly looking at Mount Buzhou, the two disappeared into the horizon.
The remaining Innate Sacred, such as Dong Wanggong, were also clear about the stakes involved.
Most of them had just been invited to Di Jun's Heavenly Marriage; it was indeed inappropriate to go and get to know Tian Yuan now.
Watching the Witch and Demon Clans gradually leave the scene, many fled toward their cave dwellings, while others headed toward the Demon Court.
Although there were surprises in the first battle between the Witch and Demon Clans, many Innate Sacreds still grasped the strength of the Demon Court.
If the terrifying Ancestral Witch Body could not break through the defense of the Chaos Bell, it would likely be even harder for them, these Innate Sacreds.
Possessing the Innate Supreme Treasure, Donghuang Taiyi is deservedly the number one person beneath the Dao Ancestor.
Many Innate Sacreds have already developed the intention to join the Demon Court.
The Demon Court is currently evenly matched with the Wu Clan; with them joining, they would surely crush the Ancestral Witches.
Once the Wu Clan is eliminated, the Primordial World will naturally be controlled by the Demon Court, exclusively enjoying the Heaven and Earth Luck.
As for that Tian Yuan who suddenly jumped out, although everyone was surprised by his audacity, that was all.
Had the Demon Emperor not fought for so long, he would surely have already attacked Mount Buzhou.
Within the sprawling Wu Clan tribes beneath Mount Buzhou, the Ancestral Witches were furious, cursing repeatedly.
They knew Tian Yuan was detestable, but they did not expect him to fish in troubled waters during the Witch-Demon battle, and they did not know how many clansmen had been snatched away by the stone man.
Wielding the will of the Father God, one should stand tall and upright; how could he engage in such sneaky behavior?
Beyond their anger and annoyance, several Ancestral Witches were also worried that Tian Yuan's strength was growing faster.
Tian Yuan possesses the Ancestral Witch Body and wields the will of the Father God; the Ancestral Witches dared not imagine what would happen once his cultivation level surpassed theirs.
The furious Dijiang swept his gaze across the scene and immediately frowned: "Why is Gonggong not here?"
When he had just pursued toward Mount Buzhou, he seemed not to have seen Gonggong.
Zhurong, who was in the middle of cursing, heard this and said angrily: "I saw him chasing after Demon Master Kunpeng earlier."
"Chasing after Kunpeng?" Dijiang was stunned for a moment.
He is the Ancestral Witch of space and speed; in the Primordial World, the only one who can compare with his speed is Demon Master Kunpeng.
Dijiang knew Gonggong's strength very well; how could he possibly catch up to Kunpeng?
Startled in his heart, he hurriedly calmed his mind and began to sense Gonggong's location.
The Ancestral Witches share the same roots and origin; even at a great distance, they would have some sense of each other.
Unfortunately, after a while, Dijiang's whole body shook, and he said coldly: "Gonggong is not in the Primordial World."
The low words exploded in the scene, and the originally noisy environment instantly became silent.
All the Ancestral Witches calmed their minds, and then one by one, they stood stunned on the spot.
Zhurong widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Could it be that he chased into the Chaos?"
Only the surging Chaos could isolate the bloodline power of the Ancestral Witches; Zhurong thought this was the only possibility.
Yet the scene remained silent; everyone's face was very ugly, and they had a very ominous premonition.
Zhurong's mind turned, and he said incredulously: "Could Gonggong have been... by the stone man?"
He did not finish the sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
However, with Tian Yuan's current strength, could he already capture an Ancestral Witch? Dijiang did not speak, his figure vanishing from the scene in a flash.
A while later, Dijiang returned, his body shrouded in a violent aura.
"Big Brother!" Zhurong asked urgently.
Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, he and Gonggong were the most at odds and had always fought the most, but he was precisely the one who cared about him the most.
Xuanming and the others also looked over with focused attention.
Because of Houtu's departure, they had joined forces to conceive a Great Witch to replace Houtu; they hoped they wouldn't lose Gonggong at this time.
Meeting everyone's gaze, Dijiang said word by word: "He was captured by Tian Yuan!"
"What!!!!"
"Big Brother, what should we do now?"
"We absolutely cannot let that stone man go!"
With their hopes shattered, many Ancestral Witches were extremely anxious, their chests filled with unstoppable rage.
Vaguely, a trace of terror could also be seen in the depths of their eyes.
If Tian Yuan could capture Gonggong, it meant that he also had the ability to capture them; how could this not make the Ancestral Witches panic?
Although Taiyi has the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, the Ancestral Witches were not afraid at all, because the toughness of their physical bodies had already placed them in an invincible position.
But Tian Yuan is different; he also possesses the Ancestral Witch Body and wields the will of the Father God.
Dijiang did not speak; he did not tell everyone how Gonggong was captured.
If they knew he had been knocked unconscious and carried away by Tian Yuan, they would likely panic even more.
The Wu Clan is the Pangu Orthodox; they cannot lose the Primordial World!
