The Heavenly Emperor said little, but his intimidating warning lingered in the hearts of Taiyi, Houtu, Xuanming, and the others.
Xuanming looked toward Dijiang and the others, only to see that they had been suppressed to the point that they could not wield any power, their heads completely exposed. The contrast with their usual imposing bearing made the corners of her lips curl into a smile.
Xuanming said, "Come, come, let me tidy up your hair and cut off those afros."
Without waiting for Dijiang and the others to respond, she condensed Cold Ice power at her fingertips into scissors. With two swift snips, she shaved the hair off the six Ancestral Witches' heads, leaving them as six bald heads in the blink of an eye.
Seeing those six gleaming heads, Houtu could not help but burst into laughter.
Gonggong gritted his teeth in resentment and said in a deep voice, "It's all Leize's fault! If he hadn't interfered, we definitely would have seized the Demon Clan's territory."
Zhu Jiuyin gazed up at the heavens, his eyes deep as he slowly spoke:
"Perhaps we all thought too simply. The battlefield has never been within the battle itself, but beyond it. Hunyuan Grand Unity and Saints are not things we can control!"
Dijiang spoke in a low voice, comforting the others while also consoling himself. "We did not lose to the Demon Clan this time. We merely went against the Heavenly Emperor's will."
He sighed inwardly. The Heavenly Emperor was too powerful; there was truly nothing he could do. Even if they deployed the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation in the future, they still would not be able to defeat him. The Heavenly Emperor had several Hunyuan Grand Unity experts on his side, not to mention a matching Hunyuan Grand Formation.
