Kuafu Placed Under Houtu's House Arrest! Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture Was About to Begin!

To Houtu...

What she least wanted to see was the Witch Tribe being wiped out.

Therefore, just like Xuan Yang was racking his brains and making every effort to prevent the Witch-Demon War from arriving...

Houtu was likewise doing everything she could to prevent the Witch-Demon War from happening.

Thus, after reading Xuan Yang's diary and learning that Da Yi Shoots the Sun would happen in the future...

Houtu directly confiscated Da Yi's bow and arrows!

Her thinking was simple.

If she confiscated his bow and arrows and forbade him from shooting arrows, then he couldn't possibly shoot down the suns, could he?

That was why Houtu had given Da Yi that order earlier.

Da Yi, meanwhile, was completely baffled.

Everything had been fine. He had not offended Ancestral Witch Houtu, so why had she confiscated his beloved bow?

And she would not even let him shoot arrows in the future?

Wasn't this bullying the Witch Tribe too much?

He could only look awkwardly at Houtu and ask, "Ancestral Witch Houtu, may I ask... why won't you let me shoot arrows anymore?"

Houtu merely replied flatly, "I don't like it."

Da Yi froze on the spot.

She didn't like it?

Come to think of it, that was quite a sufficient reason.

For a Time, he did not know how to refute her.

He had originally wanted to ask a few more questions and see whether there was room for negotiation.

But in the next second, Houtu cast him a cold gaze.

"What? You're not convinced?"

"Then I'll go tell my Eldest Brother and the others."

"I'll tell them you're being disobedient, that you won't even obey my orders."

Da Yi's mouth twitched.

"Please calm your anger, Ancestral Witch Houtu."

"Since Ancestral Witch Houtu does not like Da Yi using a bow and arrows, then Da Yi simply won't use them in the future."

He immediately gave Houtu his word.

In fact, Houtu did not even need to tell the other Ancestral Witches.

The Ancestral Witches held extraordinary status within the Witch Tribe. No matter how much Da Yi loved his bow and arrows, so long as Houtu insisted, he had to give them up.

This was a matter of principle. The Ancestral Witches stood above Great Witches and ordinary members of the Witch Tribe.

Thus, Da Yi's answer was exceptionally decisive.

"That's more like it!"

Houtu was also very satisfied with Da Yi's reply.

Smiling, she patted his shoulder before turning and leaving in satisfaction.

Next, she went to find another "culprit" behind the Witch-Demon War.

And this "culprit" was naturally Kuafu.

Although, in this matter, Kuafu was technically the victim...

But setting the facts aside!

Did Kuafu really have no fault at all?

Let me ask you this!

If Kuafu had not gone out, wouldn't he have avoided encountering the Ten Great Golden Crows?

If Kuafu had not encountered the Ten Great Golden Crows, he would not have died.

If Kuafu had not died, Da Yi would not have shot down the suns.

So in this matter, Houtu's approach was the same as Xuan Yang's.

Xuan Yang would not let the Ten Great Golden Crows leave the Sun Star.

Houtu would not let Kuafu leave Buzhou Mountain.

So long as they did not meet, no accident would happen.

In this matter, Houtu and Xuan Yang unexpectedly shared a tacit understanding.

Thus, Houtu quickly found Kuafu.

"Kuafu, come here!"

She beckoned to Kuafu.

Kuafu's attitude toward Houtu was the same as Da Yi's.

He was incomparably respectful!

Upon seeing Houtu, he immediately knelt and paid his respects with utmost devotion.

"Ancestral Witch Houtu, what are your orders?"

Houtu directly gave Kuafu an order.

"Kuafu, I hope that before receiving my approval, you absolutely must not leave Buzhou Mountain."

"Can you do that?"

Kuafu was slightly stunned.

He did not quite understand why Houtu wanted this.

But after seeing the grave look in Houtu's eyes, he quickly gave his answer.

"I can do it!"

Houtu revealed a satisfied expression. "Mm, then go."

Kuafu left with a strange look on his face.

Houtu, meanwhile, returned to Pangu Hall.

She silently said to herself, I hope this works.

That Witch-Demon War absolutely must not happen...

Time continued to pass.

During the period that followed, nothing major happened in the Primordial Wilderness.

Houtu followed Xuan Yang's diary updates every day.

As for Xuan Yang, he cultivated day after day, wrote his diary, and pondered how the Heavenly Dao might make its next move.

Very soon, the date of Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture was approaching once again.

Nearly all the cultivators who had attended the previous lecture chose to go again!

After all, they did not know the truth.

They still believed this was where their opportunity lay.

So naturally, they rushed to go.

Aside from Di Jun, Taiyi, Chang Xi, Xi He, and Wangshu...

The rest of the All Diary Owners, such as West King Mother, Nuwa, Tongtian, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and the others...

All intended to go.

It could not be helped. Each of them had their own reasons.

Take West King Mother, for example. She had no choice but to go.

As the Head of Female Immortals in the Primordial Wilderness personally appointed by Hongjun, could she skip Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture?

Wouldn't that be slapping Old Ancestor Hongjun in the face?

Although West King Mother had learned of Old Ancestor Hongjun's schemes from Xuan Yang's diary...

She still did not dare to offend a Saint.

So she truly had no choice but to go.

Nuwa had the same mindset.

It could not be helped...

Who told her to occupy a Heavenly Dao Cushion?

Last time, she had occupied a Heavenly Dao Cushion and sat at the very front during the lecture.

If she did not go this time, wouldn't that make her stand out too much?

Tongtian, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hongyun had similar concerns.

Tongtian in particular still wanted to persuade his two elder brothers not to practice Slaying the Three Corpses.

But Old Ancestor Hongjun had not given his lecture yet, so it was not easy for him to persuade them.

He could only wait until Old Ancestor Hongjun finished lecturing, when his two elder brothers intended to cultivate it, before trying to persuade them.

Thus, all of them chose to head to the Purple Sky Palace to hear the lecture.

Of course...

Things were different on the Lunar Star and Sun Star.

After Wangshu had "stolen their home" last time...

Chang Xi and Xi He refused to go this time no matter what.

Instead, they tried to persuade Wangshu to go, but naturally, Wangshu was unwilling as well.

As for Xuan Yang...

As always, Xuan Yang Did Not Intend to go.

He had not even attended Hongjun's first lecture.

Naturally, he would not attend Hongjun's Second Lecture either.

After all, he already had the complete Method of Slaying Three Corpses and Dao Proving through Laws. Going would only be a waste of time.

Besides, he still had to write his diary.

How was he supposed to write in the Purple Sky Palace?

However, Xuan Yang did not know what Di Jun and Taiyi were planning.

So he asked Di Jun and Taiyi.

"Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture? We're not going!"

Upon hearing Xuan Yang's question, both Di Jun and Taiyi shook their heads in unison.

They had attended the previous lecture because they had not known Old Ancestor Hongjun's true nature or realized how many schemes he had.

But now that they had learned so much from Xuan Yang's diary, they had long decided not to attend Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture.

Thus, the moment they heard Xuan Yang's question, they immediately made their stance clear.

Even though they had already occupied Heavenly Dao Cushions, they still would not go.

Whoever wanted to go could go. In any case, they would not.

This left Xuan Yang caught between laughter and tears.

Somewhat helplessly, he sighed inwardly:

Eldest Brother and Second Brother aren't going?

This is different from Primordial Wilderness history again!

Still, not going is a good thing. Going would only waste time anyway.

They might as well stay home and help babysit.

But then an idea suddenly flashed through Xuan Yang's mind.

Eldest Brother and Second Brother not going to hear the lecture... that should have caught Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao off guard again, right?

I wonder what impact it will have when the time comes...
