Chapter 367

~13 min read 2,456 words

The Seven-Treasured Wonderful Tree spanned across, its divine power vast, rolling and sweeping.

This time, there was also no suspense at all.

In fact, Gonggong hadn't even reacted yet.

Seven-colored light burst out, seemingly beautiful, but containing the power to cover the heavens and the earth.

And under the suppression of such great power, Gonggong was just like Zhurong, instantly suppressed and kneeling on the ground.

The power of a Saint, or rather a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, was fully revealed at this moment.

Moreover, it sounds long, but all of this happened within just a few breaths.

Even if Dijiang and Zhujiuyin had the intention to strike, it was simply too late.

By the time Dijiang came to his senses, Zhurong and Gonggong were already kneeling on both knees, unable to move at all.

"You..."

"Damn it, my Wu Clan cannot tolerate such humiliation."

Dijiang was furious, his eyes splitting, roaring through gritted teeth.

If it were in a great war, Zhurong and Gonggong being less skilled and returning defeated would not be anything.

But today, Chen Ku and Zhunti were using Saint-level power to bully the weak.

And they even made Zhurong and the other kneel on the ground.

In Dijiang's view, this was even more of an undisguised humiliation, damaging the dignity of the Wu Clan.

Before his voice fell, Dijiang also couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, preparing to strike, confronting the power of Chen Ku and Zhunti head-on.

Fortunately, by this time, Zhujiuyin had not lost his reason.

Too late to think much, he immediately grabbed Dijiang tightly.

"Brother, calm down, quickly calm down."

"We came to rescue Brother Xingtian, not to start a great war."

"The Buddhist Sect has three Saints and one Hunyuan, which is terrifyingly abnormal and not something we can contend with."

"Once a war starts, our Wu Clan will surely face the danger of annihilation."

Zhujiuyin said urgently, persuading Dijiang.

Every word and every sentence could be described as extremely sharp.

Even as an Ancestral Witch, he had said such words about the Wu Clan facing the danger of annihilation.

Hearing this, although Dijiang was filled with hatred and anger, his expression froze.

Afterward, he stopped his movement, full of unwillingness.

Zhujiuyin's words made sense.

Chen Ku and Zhunti's actions were indeed ruthless and heartless.

But this was the confidence brought by great strength.

If one cannot bear small things, one will mess up great plans!

Moreover, more importantly, once Dijiang completely exploded, it would bring about a catastrophic disaster for the entire Wu Clan.

For a time, Dijiang could only look at Chen Ku with a gloomy face, saying nothing.

At this moment, Chen Ku finally spoke.

"What an arrogant Ancestral Witch!"

"In my Saint's courtyard, you dare to speak wildly about destroying the Great Hall and burning all the spiritual roots?!"

"You all came... could it be that you want to level my Mount Xumi?!"

Chen Ku examined Zhurong and Gonggong, scolding them angrily.

Hearing this, Zhurong was still resentful.

But undeniably, Zhurong had also realized his slip of the tongue by now.

Chen Ku only crushed his fists and suppressed him, which was already showing mercy.

Otherwise, killing him completely in a single thought would also be justifiable.

Therefore, Zhurong just snorted and didn't say anything more.

Zhujiuyin was also busy smoothing things over, saying:

"This... this... we have absolutely no such intention, and would not dare to offend the Saint's orthodoxy."

"We came this time only to bring back Xingtian."

"Brother Zhurong was also anxious earlier, which is why he spoke without thinking, and we hope the Saints will forgive him."

Hearing this, Chen Ku's originally extremely cold expression softened slightly.

He didn't waste words anymore and finally brought up the main business.

"Xingtian..."

"I called you all here today precisely to let you know some secrets."

Hearing Chen Ku's words.

Dijiang and Zhujiuyin both raised their eyebrows.

Secrets?!

What did Chen Ku mean by this?!

But they saw Chen Ku stop talking and just wave his large hand.

Afterward, the Buddha light in the sky burst out again, blazing and dazzling.

And within the Buddha light, it reflected the power of the Law of Time, condensing into a Time Scroll.

Immediately, a familiar scene manifested within it, clearly falling into the eyes of Dijiang and the others.

The scene presented was nothing else!

It was exactly Jidu transforming into the appearance of a Witch and striking a Witch-Slaying Needle into Xiangliu's body.

Later, by chance, the Witch-Slaying Needle was ignited by the Yinglong Xuanhuang Sword, which caused Xiangliu's physical body to explode and die.

Watching this scene, the four great Ancestral Witches looked at each other, still somewhat confused.

What kind of situation is this?!

Why did that tiny needle possess such terrifying power and might?!

After a moment, it was Zhujiuyin who reacted first.

"What a strange fine needle!"

"Inside... it seems to contain the power to slay Witches."

Zhujiuyin also controlled the Law of Time, so resonating with the Time Scroll now, he could perceive more mysteries than Dijiang and the others.

While speaking, Zhujiuyin looked at Chen Ku.

But he saw the latter nod slightly, indicating that Zhujiuyin's guess was correct.

Immediately, the hearts of the four great Ancestral Witches were even more shaken.

"How is this possible?!"

"Apart from the Witch-Slaying Sword refined by the Demon Race, there is actually such an imperceptible killing weapon as the Witch-Slaying Needle?!"

Dijiang exclaimed, shocked beyond measure.

And his shock did not just come from this.

"Moreover, who was that earlier, transforming into the appearance of our Wu Clan."

"We Ancestral Witches and Great Witches didn't notice it at all?!"

No need to say more.

Everything seen in the Time Scroll completely exceeded the cognition and expectations of Dijiang and the others.

Xiangliu's death actually contained such unknown secrets?!

Dijiang and Zhujiuyin were somewhat suspicious and uncertain, hard to fathom.

However, Zhurong and Gonggong spoke without hesitation, immediately refuting.

"Hmph, a trick of the eye, this must just be a trick of the eye!"

"That's right, it must be that Chen Ku deliberately transformed and forged such a scene, intending to exonerate the Dragon Race."

"For a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, this probably isn't a difficult task."

The two said this.

After the voice fell, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin looked at each other, even more confused.

If you put it that way... it doesn't make no sense!

Whether it's a Saint or a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, if they want to deceive them with some eye-tricking means, it's too simple.

However... does Chen Ku have a need to do this?!

Sure enough!

Hearing the doubts of Zhurong and Gonggong, Chen Ku couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I deliberately forged the scene to deceive you all?!"

"Sigh... bitter, bitter..."

"Just based on you all, is it worth me going to such great lengths?!"

Chen Ku responded with a speechless face.

Hearing this, Dijiang, Zhurong, and the others all froze.

This damn... these words were too heart-piercing.

But it made it impossible to refute!

The fact is exactly this, Chen Ku is a dignified Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, why would he need to play too many schemes and tricks with their Ancestral Witches?!

For a time, Zhurong and Gonggong were also somewhat speechless.

As he spoke, Chen Ku's mind moved.

The scene in the Time Scroll changed again, mysterious and profound.

This time, Xiangliu's figure gradually dissipated.

Replacing it was Xingtian's figure manifesting within, and the scene of Jidu transforming into a Witch and shooting several Witch-Slaying Needles into him was also clearly manifested.

More importantly, this time it wasn't just the scene in the Time Scroll that appeared.

At the same time, Chen Ku's mind moved.

"Time Reversal!"

He directly used the great divine ability of Time Reversal.

In an instant, infinite and mysterious law orders flowed, rising and falling, circling around everyone.

Everything became extremely real.

Under the verification of the divine ability, the four great Ancestral Witches' expressions became even more solemn, and they occasionally revealed looks of shock and awe.

This kind of divine ability was simply too extraordinary.

Among them, Zhujiuyin was the most affected.

Although he didn't speak, the expression in his eyes was shaken, unable to hide his shock and disbelief.

"This... what a powerful Law of Time."

"Such attainments have already far exceeded mine."

Zhujiuyin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

As someone who also controlled the Law of Time, Zhujiuyin knew better how shocking and unimaginable Chen Ku's attainments in the Law of Time were.

After a long time, all the scenes finally finished manifesting.

Zhurong and Gonggong were silent.

Dijiang turned to look at Zhujiuyin.

"Second brother, what do you say?!"

"You also control the Law of Time, can you tell if all this is true or false?!"

Clearly, Dijiang was completely confused.

His Law of Space had very little effect at this time.

He could only seek verification from Zhujiuyin.

Hearing Dijiang's words, Zhujiuyin came back to his senses.

"Time Reversal is to reproduce everything that happened back then, it cannot be fake!"

"It was indeed Jidu who plotted in secret, intending to use Witch-Slaying Needles to kill our Wu Clan's powerhouses."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dijiang's expression turned gloomy.

What a vicious method!

And Zhurong and Gonggong were flushed with shame, speechless.

A slap in the face!

A naked slap in the face!

Illusions can be forged, but time divine abilities cannot be faked.

Regarding everything Chen Ku said, Zhurong and the other had no more doubts at this time.

"So that's how it is... the previous actions of the Buddhist Saints were not unfavorable to Xingtian."

"But... were protecting his safety?!"

Dijiang spoke again, saying this.

By this time, he had also begun to get the hang of things.

For a time, Dijiang's attitude changed suddenly.

The look in his eyes when looking at Chen Ku, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others also revealed a hint of being moved.

Regarding this, Jieyin nodded slightly with satisfaction.

"It seems... you Wu Clan finally understand some mysteries."

Jieyin's words were not without a hint of mockery.

Chen Ku also nodded.

Seeing that Dijiang and the others believed all this, he finally waved his large hand.

The Buddha Kingdom in his palm reappeared, and immediately after, Xingtian's figure fell out from within.

"Saying more is not as good as letting you see it with your own eyes!"

As he spoke, Chen Ku slapped out with another palm.

However, this palm was not violent or fierce.

Boom!

One palm landed on Xingtian's body, and his figure shook violently.

Afterward, more than a dozen cold lights shot out from Xingtian's body without warning.

Immediately, with a slight sound of metal clashing, they fell at the feet of Dijiang and the others.

Nothing else!

They were clearly tiny Witch-Slaying Needles.

One can imagine how ruthless Jidu was before.

He didn't just bury one Witch-Slaying Needle, but more than a dozen.

This was also a posture to kill Xingtian.

After all, Xiangliu was just a Great Witch back then, while Xingtian was already an Ancestral Witch.

No need to say more.

Watching this scene, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin also waved their large hands, capturing the Witch-Slaying Needles into their palms, examining them carefully.

Just the moment they touched the Witch-Slaying Needles, the two of them changed color greatly.

At this very moment, they clearly sensed that the evil spirit within their bodies seemed to have received some kind of mysterious call, and it actually boiled over.

Rumble!

The evil spirit surged, causing their blood to roar endlessly, difficult to calm down.

"This... it really is the power to slay Witches."

"A tiny one can still stir up my aura."

"If these dozen or so were all ignited, then Brother Xingtian would truly be dead for sure."

Dijiang exclaimed in a low voice, his pupils shrinking, unbelievable.

Zhujiuyin was also full of solemnity.

"Insidious, this kind of method is too insidious!"

"In the midst of a great war, no one can notice."

"And that Jidu only needs a single thought to kill Brother Xingtian silently."

"In that case, the Du Tian Shen Sha Array would be completely unable to take shape."

Zhujiuyin associated this with all kinds of terrible consequences, feeling terrified and full of lingering fear.

And watching everything that happened, and hearing the words of Dijiang and Zhujiuyin.

Xingtian, who was furious earlier, also suddenly realized at this time.

Where was the Western Buddhist Sect trying to harm him?!

They were clearly his life-saving benefactors!

"Damn it, so that Jidu had been plotting against us in secret all along."

"This time, fortunately, Senior Chen Ku saved me, keeping my life safe."

"I... thank the seniors of the Buddhist Sect."

Xingtian was quite frank.

Knowing the painstaking efforts of Chen Ku and the others, he was full of solemnity, bowing and thanking Chen Ku and the others.

Following closely, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin also spoke up.

"We also misunderstood the intentions of the Buddhist Saints earlier."

"Coming to question you today was truly inappropriate!"

Not only that.

Dijiang pondered for a moment and also said:

"For this offense to the might of the Buddhist Sect, our Wu Clan is willing to offer Pangu Jade Marrow!"

"We hope the Saints will forgive us."

As he spoke, Dijiang flipped his palm.

Immediately, a mass of flowing, colorful, and powerful jade marrow appeared.

Pangu Jade Marrow!

It was also a top-tier treasure condensed over endless years, containing Pangu's residual aura.

It is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual root, and even more amazing in effect, making it an unparalleled treasure for cultivation.

Dijiang also knew that this time he had "measured a gentleman's heart with a villain's measure."

Not to mention the previous arrogant actions of Zhurong and Gonggong.

Only by showing enough sincerity could he possibly gain Chen Ku's understanding.

Regarding this, Chen Ku did not stand on ceremony.

Capturing it from the air, he directly accepted the Pangu Jade Marrow.

Immediately, Chen Ku's expression remained majestic, looking down at Dijiang and the others.

"You Wu Clan, first expelled Dizang and the others in the Netherworld, and today you spoke wildly in my Buddhist holy land!"

"This is an act of offending the might of my Buddhist Sect, if there is a next time..."

"I will destroy your Pangu Sacred Hall, and those who offend my Buddhist Sect will also be executed without mercy!"

Chen Ku deterred Dijiang and the others like this, his words unquestionable.

Hearing this, the Wu Clan members looked solemn, their hearts shaking violently.

Dijiang hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"The Wu Clan will absolutely never offend again!"
