The foothills at the border between the two lands were named after the Calamity Beasts and called the Calamity Beast Mountain Foothills.
The Great Witcher flew at top speed and finally arrived here. Without hesitation, he flew into the foothills' barrier.
Inside, it appeared lush and flourishing, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, yet danger lurked everywhere. The Calamity Beasts were invisible, unseen by all spirits. One careless moment, and one would be devoured by a Calamity Beast, dying with their Dao extinguished.
Yet the Great Witcher showed no trace of fear. He gave a sinister laugh, as though his goal was about to be achieved.
With a whoosh, he summoned a strand of Witch Qi into his palm and covered himself with it. A strange sight followed: the phantom Calamity Beasts roaming nearby unconsciously fled, not daring to approach him.
After an unknown amount of time, he arrived beneath an Azure Sky tree at the center of the foothills.
He then formed hand seals and chanted witch words.
Before long, the entire tree began to shake violently, and a ferocious old face emerged from its trunk.
"You're here!"
"Your subordinate Wu Heng greets the Great One!" Upon seeing the old face, the Great Witcher bowed and knelt.
"Rise! Have you brought what I need?" the old face asked.
At those words, Wu Heng waved his hand and summoned Gu Qing Ling and Grandma Gu, dropping them before the old face.
The two were terrified by the ferocious old face and clung to each other, trembling.
The old face swept its gaze over Gu Qing Ling and Grandma Gu, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good! You have done well."
"It is this subordinate's duty. I would die for the Great One!" Receiving the old face's approval, Wu Heng was overjoyed
