But upon hearing that their Master had returned to expound the Dao to them—and might even expel them from his sect—
Each of them felt both somewhat delighted and a sense of urgency rising within their hearts.
"What a pity—I wasn't chosen by Master. This time, the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race are forming Daoist partnerships with Senior Sisters Queen Mother of the West, Xi He, and Chang Xi. There will surely be no shortage of powerful figures heading to Witch City on Buzhou Mountain. Even a figure like Master is going in person; Senior Uncles Reincarnation, Yang Mei, and Creation, as well as Junior Uncles World, Qiankun, Xuanhuang, and Soul, might well all go in person to offer their congratulations. If Master had chosen me to accompany him, perhaps I could have met all those Senior Uncles and Junior Uncles. I could also have seen the true faces of the Sanqing Heavenly Venerates, the Twelve Ancestral Witch Heavenly Venerates, and Heavenly Venerate Nuwa. And I could have met the senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters under all those Senior Uncles and Junior Uncles. I would also have witnessed the Witch Race, the strongest race in the Primordial Wilderness. Yet now, I can only envy the fourteen Senior Sisters."
After instructing his disciples to cultivate diligently, Old Ancestor Wuxing immediately brought the fourteen female disciples he had just accepted as direct disciples and headed for Witch City on Buzhou Mountain.
The reason Old Ancestor Wuxing had immediately elevated those fourteen female disciples to direct disciples was also because he did not want his plans to fail over the status of these disciples.
What if the Ancestral Witches looked down on them simply because they were not Wuxing's direct disciples?
Wouldn't Wuxing suffer a tremendous loss, then?
