Gonggong was puzzled.
He was also somewhat angry...
In his view, the Witch Clan had treated them as friends, as brothers. Now that someone had attacked the Witch Clan, it would have been one thing if they refused to help.

Zhen Yuanzi was immediately shocked.
It had actually been Wu Tian's instruction?
