Journey to the Witch Tribe, Pacifying the Ancestral Witches

After hearing Xuan Yang's words...

Di Jun and Taiyi immediately nodded and agreed with Xuan Yang...

"Mm, this is the only way for now..."

The three brothers soon set off together.

They left the Sun Star and hurried toward the Witch Tribe.

Meanwhile...

After such a major incident had occurred...

Within Purple Sky Palace, Heavenly Dao Hongjun naturally sensed it at once...

To be honest...

This incident was also part of Heavenly Dao Hongjun's scheme.

He had anticipated something like this many years ago...

That was why Heavenly Dao Hongjun had not made much of an issue out of the relationship between the Demon Race and Witch Tribe for many years.

The main reason was that he had deduced this outcome long ago.

Therefore, over these years...

All Heavenly Dao Hongjun had done was silently use his Heavenly Dao power to enhance the fertility of both the Demon Race and Witch Tribe.

Now that so many years had passed...

Everything Heavenly Dao Hongjun had done had finally borne fruit.

This made Heavenly Dao Hongjun exceedingly pleased.

At this moment, Heavenly Dao Hongjun also discovered that Di Jun, Xuan Yang, and Taiyi had left the Sun Star and were rushing toward the Witch Tribe's settlement...

But Heavenly Dao Hongjun was not worried in the slightest.

He merely sneered repeatedly within Purple Sky Palace:

"Hehehehe..."

"Planning to stabilize the Witch Tribe first?"

"Unfortunately, that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause..."

"Unless you can solve this problem at its source, the relationship between your Wu-Demon Races will only continue to worsen..."

"And how could something involving the food chain possibly be resolved so easily?"

"Hehehehe..."

"Wu-Demon Races, just obediently go to war for me!"

"Only when the Wu-Demon Races go to war will I have more opportunities. If, when the time comes, both the Demon Race and Witch Tribe can perish..."

"That would be even better..."

"Although the Human Path has gradually developed, Nuwa is not, in essence, an adviser to the Human Race..."

"For the Human Path to have developed to this scale, Xuan Yang's counsel has been indispensable..."

"So long as the Demon Race can be destroyed, and Xuan Yang eliminated..."

"Then dealing with the Human Path will naturally become much easier."

Heavenly Dao Hongjun wore a gleeful expression.

More than anyone else, he wished for the Witch Tribe and Demon Race to die sooner.

Especially Xuan Yang—Heavenly Dao Hongjun wished he would perish on the spot.

Thus, Hongjun silently waited within Purple Sky Palace for the coming great battle.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Witch Tribe settlement...

At this moment, the three brothers Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang had already arrived outside the Witch Tribe settlement.

"Fellow Ancestral Witches! Xuan Yang, Di Jun, and Taiyi have come to pay a visit!"

As soon as they arrived outside the settlement, they directly transmitted their voices to the Ancestral Witches within.

Soon afterward, the Ancestral Witches led by Di Jiang came out to welcome them.

"So it is Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, Daoist Friend Di Jun, and Daoist Friend Taiyi. Please, come in!"

Di Jiang and the others quickly led Xuan Yang and his companions into the Witch Tribe settlement.

And from Xuan Yang's observations...

The Ancestral Witches had not yet displayed any particularly obvious hostility toward them...

That was good news.

The three brothers Xuan Yang, Di Jun, and Taiyi soon followed Di Jiang into the Witch Tribe settlement.

Afterward, Di Jiang instructed the Ancestral Witches under his command to bring out wine, intending to properly entertain Xuan Yang and the others.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, Xuan Yang spoke directly:

"Daoist Friend Di Jiang, I believe you have already guessed the purpose of our visit today..."

"We came because of the matter between Gui Che and Xing Tian."

The atmosphere throughout the Witch Tribe settlement suddenly grew somewhat quiet.

But after a moment, Di Jiang laughed heartily at Xuan Yang and the others.

"Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, if you are only worried about such a matter..."

"Then there is no need."

Di Jiang continued:

"From what I understand, although Gui Che and Xing Tian fought fiercely this time..."

"No casualties were actually caused."

"At most, it was merely a minor conflict between the two of them."

"Such a matter is nothing."

"However..."

"The cause of the conflict—the matter of our Witch Tribe's food supply—does indeed need to be discussed properly."

Xuan Yang nodded at Di Jiang. "I believe this is a matter that must be resolved..."

"Our Wu-Demon Races have always been very close over the years. We absolutely cannot let such a matter affect the relationship between our two races."

"How about this, Daoist Friend Di Jiang?"

"Give me some time, and I will come up with a solution acceptable to everyone, one that benefits both sides."

"We came here today mainly to make our position clear..."

"Each side has its own reasoning in this matter. Neither of us is in the wrong from our respective positions."

"So, all we need to do is solve the problem. We absolutely must not let such a matter harm the harmony between us."

Di Jiang smiled and nodded at Xuan Yang. "Naturally."

"Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, as long as you can think of a way to help our Witch Tribe solve its food problem..."

"This little scuffle will be nothing. Our Wu-Demon Races can still be as close as family."

At this point, Di Jiang's smile faded slightly.

"But Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, I hope you can understand..."

"For the sake of survival, if you ultimately cannot provide a suitable solution, then our Witch Tribe can only continue to feed on demons."

"Even if eating the relatives of certain Demon Soldiers or Demon Generals causes friction in the future..."

"There will be nothing we can do about it."

"Refraining from attacking the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals of the Demon Court is already the limit of what our Witch Tribe can do."

"As for anything else, we will be unable to take it into consideration."

Xuan Yang nodded at Di Jiang, then directly agreed. "I understand, Daoist Friend Di Jiang. I will return soon. Until then, please wait patiently."
