In fact, this matter had dealt an incomparably huge blow to Empress Pingxin, who had once been Houtu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan.
After all, the one who had died was Ancestor Minghe, the master of the boundless Blood Sea!
Even at the height of the Witch Clan's power, they had not been confident they could suppress and kill him outright.
This veteran quasi-saint might not have excelled at anything else, but his ability to preserve his life was truly first-rate.
Not to mention, he wielded the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords, which represented the killing path of the Primordial World!
Moreover, ever since her eleven elder brothers and sisters had all fallen during the Witch-Demon Cataclysm,
Ancestor Minghe had revealed his covetous intentions toward the netherworld's reincarnation.
He had constantly sent the Blood Sea Asura under his command to harass and invade the netherworld.
If Ancestor Minghe had not been suddenly killed by a powerful figure who had appeared out of nowhere this time,
it probably would not have taken long
before the entire netherworld reincarnation was mostly occupied by that shameless Ancestor Minghe.
She herself would probably have been imprisoned eternally within reincarnation, unable to emerge.
After realizing this,
Empress Pingxin could not help feeling a little grateful toward that unknown powerful figure.
It was all thanks to him killing Ancestor Minghe and wiping out the Asura Clan.
Otherwise, the netherworld reincarnation would change hands in the future and become Ancestor Minghe's netherworld reincarnation.
After secretly expressing her gratitude,
Empress Pingxin summoned the two Great Witches, Yu Lei and Shen Tu, to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
She ordered them to lead the ghost generals and Witch Clan forces of the netherworld to seize that boundless Blood Sea.
Although the two Great Witches, Yu Lei and Shen Tu, found Empress Pingxin's order somewhat strange,
their innate trust in the Ancestral Witch led them to accept the command and set out immediately.
After they left, Empress Pingxin pondered for a while.
Then, a streak of clear light flashed across her body.
Immediately, a hazy figure emerged from her body and gradually solidified.
This was one of Empress Pingxin's three-corpses incarnations, the netherworld's Meng Po, condensed through Heavenly Dao Merit.
Because this three-corpses incarnation had been purely condensed from merit, it did not possess much killing power at all.
Usually, Pingxin only had her boil Meng Po Soup before the Bridge of Helplessness, washing away the memories of the souls bound for reincarnation so they could be reborn without hindrance.
Empress Pingxin generally would not use this three-corpses incarnation.
But this time was different.
This time, she had clearly sensed the bloodline fluctuations of Pangu the Father God.
And she herself had been eternally imprisoned in reincarnation by the Heavenly Dao.
Left with no choice, Pingxin could only send out this three-corpses incarnation of hers into the Primordial World.
To search for the being who carried the bloodline of Pangu the Father God.
When Lin Xuan withdrew the Chaos Bead's power to obscure the secrets of heaven, the two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, who sat silently inside the Jade Void Palace, immediately sensed it.
Their expressions both sank slightly.
Ancestor Minghe was dead!
The Blood Sea Asura Clan had also been wiped out!
What were they supposed to do now?
The reason these two Saints had reacted so strongly to Ancestor Minghe's death was extremely simple.
Ancestor Minghe was connected to one of their future schemes.
The two Western Sect Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, had been scheming in secret all along.
They planned to separate the Western Sect from the Xuanmen Dao Court and establish the Buddhist Sect.
Then they would stab the Three Pure Ones viciously in the back.
Ancestor Minghe was one of the Primordial Mighty Ones they had invited to join the Buddhist Sect.
At the same time, they had also incorporated the bloodthirsty and warlike Asura under Ancestor Minghe into the Eight Divisions of Devas of Buddhism.
They were one of the powerful forces that would enable Buddhism to flourish in the future.
But now,
not only had Ancestor Minghe been killed by an unknown powerful figure, even the Asura branch he had created had been completely wiped out.
Without those Asura who excelled at attacking and fighting to serve as cannon fodder, how could the Western Sect form the Eight Divisions of Devas or achieve Buddhism's great prosperity?
Yet this was merely a scheme for now.
At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin felt they had grievances they could not voice.
And they could not voice them even if they wanted to.
If Yuanshi Tianzun and Grand Supreme Elder Laozi learned of this matter,
they would probably immediately brandish the Pangu Banner and Taiji Diagram and fight the two of them to the death.
At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun and Grand Supreme Elder Laozi also sensed the warning from the secrets of heaven.
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately said in a tone filled with shock and uncertainty:
"What happened? How did Ancestor Minghe die?"
He immediately began deducing the secrets of heaven, wanting to determine who had killed Ancestor Minghe and wiped out the Asura Clan.
However, the secrets of heaven were a complete chaos, and he could not deduce anything.
The other three Saints likewise could not deduce anything.
They exchanged shocked and uncertain glances.
They secretly guessed who had made the move.
The first person Yuanshi Tianzun thought of was Lin Xuan.
But then he reconsidered.
Lin Xuan had been hiding on Golden Ao Island and was only a mere quasi-saint.
Even with the God-Slaying Spear in hand, he could not possibly have killed Ancestor Minghe, could he?
Having ruled out one correct answer first, Yuanshi Tianzun thought,
Could it have been that one in the netherworld, or that one in Zixiao Palace?
Laozi, Zhunti, Jieyin, and the other three Saints also each had their own guesses.
However, none of them included Lin Xuan in their calculations.
After all, in the eyes of these Saints, Lin Xuan was still that ant-like quasi-saint. Although he was audacious beyond belief, he simply did not possess such strength.
Apart from these Saints, the veteran quasi-saints in the Primordial World, such as Kun Peng and Zhen Yuanzi, also sensed Ancestor Minghe's death through the secrets of heaven.
They subconsciously placed all their suspicions on those high-and-mighty Saints.
That was because these Primordial Mighty Ones all believed that, apart from Saints, beings of other levels would find it extremely difficult to kill a quasi-saint, especially a veteran quasi-saint.
And there were only a few Saints in all of heaven and earth.
Thus, these Saints inexplicably took the blame for Lin Xuan.
