The Visitors Were the Remaining Eleven Ancestor Witches

The visitors were none other than the remaining eleven Ancestor Witches.

Seeing that Dijiang had yet to return, how could the Ancestor Witches hold themselves back? Thus, one after another, they left Pangu Hall and the Pangu Secret Realm.

Of course, this "yet to return" only meant they were a few steps behind Dijiang.

They claimed to be "rescuing Ancestor Witch Dijiang," but in reality, they had simply come out for some fresh air.

They slowed their pace and proceeded cautiously, afraid that Dijiang might notice them and reprimand them.

When they drew near, they discovered that Dijiang was actually being beaten!

"What? Big Brother is being beaten?"

This was outrageous! Wasn't this bullying an Ancestor Witch?

There was no time to worry about fairness. The other eleven Ancestor Witches charged forward to gang up on him. Anyone who dared beat their Big Brother had to be beaten up first, no matter what.

Even the usually gentle Houtu was enraged at this moment, and the Law of Earth surged violently.

After all, ever since they had taken human form, Dijiang, as their eldest brother, had taken great care of them.

Hong Yun's actions had truly touched their sore spot!

For a time, all kinds of laws, mixed with fists and kicks, came hurtling toward Hong Yun.

The eleven laws of time, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, rain, lightning, and poison filled the entire void.

"Holy crap, you Ancestor Witches have no martial virtue!"

Hong Yun nearly lost his mind!

How could he dare hold anything back now? The powerful aura unique to a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal erupted completely. Every bit of mana and physical force within his body circulated at full strength.

"Clone Substitution!"

"Mirror Flower Water Moon!"

"Breath Concealment Art!"

Hong Yun's body instantly transformed into twelve identical figures, each moving in a different direction to meet the Ancestor Witches' attacks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!... Bang!"

A string of explosions rang out!

The eleven clones formed from cloud qi were blasted apart by the Ancestor Witches' attacks, leaving only one figure fleeing into the distance.

"Brother Hongyun, please wait!"

At some point, Ancestor Witch Dijiang had blocked Hong Yun's path. His bruised face was covered in a savage grin.

Dijiang had originally been prepared to stop and have a proper talk with Hong Yun.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of his brothers and sisters, the advantage had shifted back to their side.

Being seen taking a beating by his younger siblings was genuinely embarrassing for Dijiang, but their immediate desire to avenge him left him both ashamed and moved.

Overcome with anger and humiliation, he could only make Hong Yun suffer for a while first!

"Brother Hongyun, how about we have another exchange?" Dijiang looked at Hong Yun with ill intent.

Hong Yun pointed at the other twelve Ancestor Witches, then at himself, and said with a dark expression, "Twelve of you ganging up on one of me, and you call this an exchange?"

Dijiang chuckled without the slightest hint of embarrassment. "Daoist Brother Hongyun, you may not know this, but the twelve of us brothers and sisters have always advanced and retreated together, whether you are alone or have ten thousand people with you!"

"Of course, if Brother Hongyun has any other helpers, just call them over. We Twelve Ancestral Witches will be happy to entertain them all the way!"

"Exactly!"

"Big Brother is right!"

"..."

Seeing the other Ancestor Witches echoing him, Hong Yun was so furious that his nose nearly twisted out of shape!

Weren't the members of the Wu Clan supposed to be straightforward? How could they be so shameless?

"You're bullying me too much, far too much! Ever since I took human form, I've never suffered such humiliation. You forced me into this. All of you, go to hell!"

A crazed look appeared on Hong Yun's face, and a trace of resolve flashed through his eyes.

The next moment, the mana within his body surged like a rising tide, and his aura suddenly erupted.

Dijiang and the others were startled and retreated several steps, watching him warily.

Hong Yun's Cloud Pattern Dao Robe instantly expanded, and his body grew larger as well. In no time, he looked like a round ball.

"This is bad! He's going to self-detonate!"

Sensing the deadly danger emanating from Hong Yun, Dijiang realized that something was wrong. He and his brothers and sisters quickly retreated.

As he withdrew, he said, "Brother Hongyun, stop! We mean you no harm!"

Dijiang was completely dumbfounded.

After the fight, he had never intended to take Hong Yun's life. At most, he had only wanted to teach him a lesson.

He had never expected Hong Yun to be even more reckless than the Ancestor Witches!

"Everyone, be careful!"

Dijiang had no time to worry about Hong Yun and hurriedly warned his brothers and sisters.

Just as the Twelve Ancestral Witches circulated their laws to the limit, shielding their bodies and standing ready for battle—

"Puff!"

The "Hong Yun" before them, who seemed about to self-detonate, transformed into a wisp of cloud qi with a sound like a bursting bubble.

Dijiang: "..."

The other Ancestor Witches: "..."

After a long while, Zhurong pointed at the cloud qi Hong Yun had transformed into and shouted, "Big Brother, I think that scoundrel tricked you!"

"Get lost! Do you think I'm blind? Do I need you to point it out?"

Dijiang's palm came flying at the Ancestor Witch Zhurong!

"He clearly did!"

Zhurong covered his head and muttered aggrievedly in a soft voice.

No one knew that Hong Yun's true body was still where it had been.

Just now, Hong Yun had circulated his mana with all his strength and created twelve avatars that fled in all directions.

His true body, however, had used Mirror Flower Water Moon to deceive the Ancestor Witches' senses, transforming into an inconspicuous stone that remained at the original spot.

At the same time, he had circulated the Breath Concealment Art to its limit!

Hong Yun, hiding at the original spot, felt fortunate that he had created several life-saving secret arts before coming to Buzhou Mountain. Otherwise, he would have been unable to avoid this beating.

"You dared gang up on This poor Daoist? Go drink This poor Daoist's foot washing water, every one of you!"

Hiding where he was, Hong Yun felt immensely pleased with himself. Seeing Dijiang's face turn livid with rage made him even happier.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Dijiang spat out the words heavily, his eyes filled with fury at having been tricked.

A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he scanned the area within several thousand li. The Law of Space slowly spread in every direction.

However, Hong Yun's secret art was too extraordinary. It had been created by expending Dao Ancestor Comprehension Fragments. How could a mere initial-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Ancestor Witch like Dijiang see through it?

"Little brothers and sisters, form the array. We must catch that scoundrel!"

"Yes!"

Dijiang waved his hand, and the other eleven Ancestor Witches nodded slightly.

They quickly dispersed in every direction, with each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches occupying one position.

Pitch-black Killing Intent gradually emerged from their bodies. Immediately afterward, they transformed into twelve whirlpools.

In an instant, boundless Killing Intent from heaven and earth surged toward the twelve whirlpools.

Terrifying Killing Intent completely enveloped the area within ten thousand li, blotting out the sky and sun!

"This is..."

Even though Hong Yun had great confidence in his secret art, such a terrifying sight still caused a trace of panic to surface in his heart.

The Dao Ancestor was powerful, and his comprehension fragments were formidable as well!

But compared to Great God Pangu, who created Heaven and Earth, they were nowhere near enough.

"Could this be the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Formation? What have I done to deserve this?" Hong Yun guessed inwardly.

The boundless Killing Intent and terrifying phenomena left Hong Yun completely lacking in confidence.

Hong Yun had overestimated the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The formation they were condensing could only be called a prototype of the "Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Formation."

The complete "Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Formation" was powerful enough to condense Pangu's True Body and contend with a Saint.

Within ten thousand li, streams of Killing Intent swept ceaselessly through the area like blades of astral energy.

The pure land, originally tranquil and peaceful, now looked as if it had been ravaged by a natural disaster.

The rocks on the mountain were crushed into powder, while the vegetation turned to flying ash. This showed just how powerful the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Formation was.

Even in its prototype form, it could not be underestimated.

"Forget it, forget it. If Buzhou Mountain, formed from Great God Pangu's spine, is damaged because of This poor Daoist, the Karma will be too great!" Hong Yun sighed and dispersed his mana, causing his figure to reappear at its original spot.

"Ancestor Witch Dijiang, stop! This poor Daoist is here!"

As soon as Hong Yun finished speaking, the Twelve Ancestral Witches instantly surrounded him once more.

The Killing Intent in the heavens and earth also slowly dispersed.

Looking at the ill-intentioned gazes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Hong Yun's heart lurched.

Before Dijiang and the others could strike, Hong Yun quickly raised both hands and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, wait, wait! Don't attack! This poor Daoist can also be an Ancestor Witch!"
