Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was the bond of Red Thread of Marriage, but Hou Yi gave Wang Shu his whole heart.

Hou Yi went to great lengths to prolong Wang Shu's life.

It's important to understand that, burdened by the hatred of the demon race, Hou Yi was constantly in danger.

If it weren't for the protection of the Ancestral Witch, Hou Yi would probably have perished at the hands of Xi He long ago.

Despite being bound by Hongjun's decree, Hou Yi still dared not step out of Buzhou Mountain.

But Hou Yi risked his life time and time again for Wang Shu.

This time, Hou Yi was even more determined to travel to Kunlun to seek the elixir of immortality.

Hou Yi's decision was met with opposition from all the Witch Race.

They didn't care about Wang Shu; they only cared about Hou Yi.

But Hou Yi's mind was made up, and there was nothing they could do to stop him.

Just as Hou Yi was about to set off for Kunlun, Jiu Feng personally appeared to stop him.

"Jiu Feng Ancestral Witch, Hou Yi knows your worries. For Chang'e, I am willing to take the risk."

I cannot bear to watch Chang'e grow old and eventually vanish into nothingness.

Looking at Jiu Feng, Hou Yi was moved, but he did not change his mind.

"Do you know your current predicament? And how can you be sure that the Kunlun Elixir of Immortality is real?"

Given the demon race's resentment towards you, this is very likely a trap set for you.

Furthermore, my Witch Race has no connection with the Queen Mother of the West. Even if it were true, she might not bestow the divine medicine upon you!

Looking at Hou Yi, Jiu Feng frowned deeply.

In fact, not only the Queen Mother of the West, but the Witch Race had no relationship with any Nascent Soul cultivators.

Because of their differing philosophies on spiritual practice, they looked down on each other.

"I'm not sure, but I'm willing to try anything, no matter how small the chance."

Even if it means utter ruin!

The Witch Race does not cultivate their primordial spirit, but that does not mean they lack wisdom.

But for Wang Shu, Hou Yi clearly couldn't care less about anything else.

In fact, in the present Primordial World, there are countless spiritual beings, and those that can change one's physique and increase one's lifespan are even more numerous.

The key issue is that, under Xi He's seal, Wang Shu's constitution is extremely unique, making it impossible for her to withstand spiritual energy.

This also meant that she had almost no access to spiritual medicines or elixirs.

However, the Elixir of Immortality from Western Kunlun is an ordinary medicine, yet it possesses the power to grant immortality.

"Since you insist, I can't stop you."

But I can't just watch you take this risk.

Instead of searching for that slim chance, why don't you come with me to Mount Luojia!

Our Witch Race has always maintained a good relationship with Fellow Daoist Cihang, and we believe he will have a better solution.

Even if that's not possible, we can ask Fellow Daoist Cihang to go to Kunlun to seek the divine medicine!

Seeing Hou Yi's attitude, Jiu Feng knew she couldn't stop him.

But she couldn't bear to watch Hou Yi go on such a dangerous journey, so she had no choice but to seek help from Cihang.

"Hou Yi thanks the Ancestral Witch!"

Hou Yi bowed deeply in gratitude, his eyes gleaming with delight.

He naturally knew Cihang; Cihang was the only Nascent Soul cultivator on good terms with his Witch Race.

"Let's go, I'll personally accompany you on this journey!"

Thus, the originally perfect plan was disrupted by Jiu Feng.

Xi He missed the best opportunity to stop them because she was recovering from her injuries.

But none of this escaped Cihang's perception.

Although he did not know exactly what happened, he knew clearly that Xi He returned to Taiyin and then sealed Wang Shu's cultivation and memories, thus causing her to form a bond with Hou Yi.

Based on his own memory, he was fully aware of everything that had happened.

However, Cihang has not yet decided whether or when to intervene.

But unexpectedly, before he could make a decision, Jiu Feng directly brought Hou Yi and Wang Shu to Mount Luojia.

"While the overall situation of the Primordial World may seem unchanged, some details have already shifted!"

Because of his help to Jiu Feng and the Witch Race, whenever they encounter difficulties, Jiu Feng thinks of him first.

Cihang did not refuse.

Xi He may have her pitiful aspects, but this was simply the tribulation she was destined to suffer as the Queen of the Demon Heavenly Empress.

Compared to Xi He, isn't Wang Shu even more innocent?

Since he's already involved in this Karma, he should try his best to prevent these two from suffering.

Although the encounters of Hou Yi and Wang Shu intensified the feud between the witches, the overall situation would not have been affected even without them.

While Cihang waited, Jiu Feng brought Hou Yi and Wang Shu to Mount Luojia.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Cihang! Jiu Feng have come to disturb your peaceful cultivation once again!"

Upon entering the Life Temple, Jiu Feng greeted Cihang with some shame.

Aside from their first meeting, every time she encountered Cihang, it was with a request.

As for the favor she had done for Cihang before, she had already repaid it long ago.

Now it is she and the Witch Race who owe Cihang!

"We are overjoyed that you have come to Cihang, fellow Daoist! How could we possibly disturb you!"

Cihang rose to return the greeting and invited Jiu Feng to take a seat.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Cihang. This time, Hou Yi has come with a request."

I hope you, fellow Daoist, can help Hou Yi and Chang'e!

As soon as Jiu Feng took her seat, Hou Yi pulled Chang'e to kowtow to Cihang!

"Greetings, Cihang Lord Cihang!"

Wang Shu also bowed respectfully to Cihang.

Although she had no memories of her past, as a human, she knew of Cihang.

Although Cihang's prestige among humans is not as high as that of Taiqing and Nuwa, she is still widely known.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for this!"

Cihang quickly waved her hand, using her magic to stop the two from bowing!

Whether it was Hou Yi or Wang Shu, they were cultivators of the same generation as him, so he naturally could not accept such a grand gesture.

Seeing that Cihang did not accept the gifts from the two, Hou Yi and Wang Shu

"If it's not too much trouble for you, fellow Daoist, I hope you can help them!"

Jiu Feng also spoke up to plead for Hou Yi.

"I understand your purpose in coming here, but things are not as simple as they seem!"

Looking at the timid and bewildered Wang Shu, Cihang let out a sigh.

"Could there be some hidden story we don't know about?"

Jiu Feng immediately noticed the difference in Cihang's attitude towards Wang Shu, and her gaze turned cold as well.

"There are indeed hidden circumstances, but they have nothing to do with Wang Shu; she is also a victim!"

As she spoke, Cihang waved her hand and unleashed a World-Purifying Divine Light.

The divine light fell upon Wang Shu, beginning to challenge the seal within her body.

Wang Shu closed her eyes tightly, and her physical body rose into the air, manifesting countless Taiyin runes.

At the same time, Wang Shu's appearance became more refined and aloof, and the power of Taiyin magic gradually awakened within her body.

"Wang Shu!"

The premonition came true; Jiu Feng's murderous aura was unmistakable.

Although she had never met Wang Shu, she knew that this goddess of the moon was the younger sister of the Demon Empress Xi He.

"Jiu Feng Ancestral Witch!"

Although Hou Yi was shocked by Wang Shu's identity, he still stood in front of Wang Shu without hesitation to prevent Jiu Feng Wang Shu from harming her.

"Do you know who she is? She's Xi He's sister; she's clearly plotting against you!"

Jiu Feng glared angrily at Hou Yi.

"I know, but I still want to hear her explanation herself!"

Hou Yi's face showed pain, but he still stood firmly in front of Wang Shu.
