Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
There was no other way; Houtu had publicly addressed him, so he had to deal with it publicly as well.
Moreover, Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt that handling the matter publicly would not have any impact on him.
By publicly punishing Jieyin and Zhunti, he only made the people of the Primordial World world think that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, was impartial and incorruptible.
The Innate Great God of Primordial World East cultivated for countless eons.
Houtu addressed the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and although she did not say it directly, they all understood the meaning behind her words.
These Western Two Saints actually attempted to use the six cycles of reincarnation to uproot the beings of the East and transplant them to the Western Primordial Era. How wicked!
Fortunately, Houtu did not agree, otherwise the myriad races of the Primordial World East would have been wiped out without them even knowing it.
Now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has punished Jieyin and Zhunti, even if it's just confinement, the beings of the Primordial World in the East can't help but feel a little better.
"I will obey Master Hongjun's Imperial Decree!"
Jieyin and Zhunti saw the Imperial Decree issued by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, they could only bow and accept the punishment!
Before Jieyin and Zhunti to his confinement, Bai Chen.
They strongly suspected that it was this cat that secretly prayed to Houtu, which is why Houtu called out to Dao Ancestor Hongjun from afar, causing her fellow disciples to be punished.
"My two sages, don't look at me like that. It wasn't me who complained about you; it was Houtu who did."
"If you're not satisfied, go fight Houtu! I'll cheer you on!"
Seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti still dared to look at him, Bai Chen immediately retorted with a sarcastic remark.
Of course, Bai Chen didn't think Jieyin and Zhunti could defeat Houtu. After all, given their strength, Houtu could easily deal with them.
After all, Houtu is the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, and her own strength is not much weaker than that of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
If it were in the underworld, with the blessing of the underworld and the earthly path, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be quite wary of Houtu.
Jieyin and Zhunti glared at Bai Chen again, then left together after breaking through the void.
We will definitely come back someday.
After the obstacles, Jieyin and Zhunti, left, Bai Chen continued flying towards the Wa Saint Palace, and it took him some time to return to Wa Saint Heaven.
Inside the main hall of the Wa Saint Palace, Nuwa, having learned from Jin Ning's report that Houtu had shifted the blame onto her, was furious.
Nuwa's anger caused the Divine Thunder of Creation to erupt throughout the entire Wa Saint Heaven.
The main hall of the Wa Saint Palace...
"That despicable Houtu! She was the one who let the cat commit the crime, yet she's trying to shift the blame onto me, making me bear this infamy!"
"I should have killed her the moment I attained enlightenment!"
Nuwa, who had been furious, was now filled with remorse.
Why did I spare the Witch Clan in the first place, just to save face?
If I had killed Houtu immediately after I attained sainthood, would I be facing so much trouble now?
Nuwa regretted it, but there was no going back!
As for restarting time to kill Houtu, not to mention the enormous karmic consequences, even the other sages would not agree to it.
Bai Chen, who had just returned to the main hall, overheard Nuwa complaining and spoke up to advise her:
"Houtu is Earthly Dao Saint and Earthly Dao Spokesperson under the Great Dao's Destiny. Even though the Dao Ancestor knew this long ago, he did not dare to make a move against Houtu."
"Nuwa, do you think the Great Dao and the Dao Ancestor would allow you to kill Houtu so early?"
"Even if they order you to kill Houtu, can you bear the karmic consequences?"
Even if we know some things, we still can't change them, because everything is governed by cause and effect.
It's like what Nuwa said, regretting that she hadn't killed Houtu before.
If Houtu had been killed before attaining enlightenment, who would have established the underworld, the Nine Springs Hell, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
And who will revive the tunnels?
It can be said that if Houtu could not attain enlightenment, the Houtu Primordial World would perish sooner or later.
Therefore, the karma of killing Houtu is terrifyingly great; even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, might not be able to bear it.
"Snort!"
Nuwa saw Bai Chen return, she snorted coldly and with a wave of her hand, she captured the cat.
The cat got angry at me as soon as it came back; it's really asking for trouble.
Nuwa, while playing with the cat, questioned Bai Chen:
"You traitor, you actually know how to come back?"
Nuwa thought Bai Chen was out playing wildly and was going to become a stray cat.
"Nuwa, stop talking nonsense! This great goddess is not a traitor! This great goddess is known Primordial World for her loyalty!"
Bai Chen sternly rebuked Nuwa, saying that even if Nuwa was his close friend, she could not tarnish the reputation of the Great God Bai Chen.
"Loyalty!"
"A little, but not much!"
After some deliberation, Nuwa gave this reply.
Bai Chen's loyalty was only appreciated by Nuwa because it was thinking of rescuing Yuanfeng.
Meanwhile, on the Witch Clan's side, the ancestral Ancestral Witch were still training the Postnatal Ancestor Witch.
There were initially four candidates for the position of Postnatal Ancestor Witch.
They are Jiu Feng, a great witch transformed from a drop of blood from the heart of the great god Pangu; Xing Tian, a great witch possessing the Law of War; and Chi You and Yi, Da Yi witches.
Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, and Chi You earned their qualifications through their own strength.
Only the great witch Da Yi were favored by connections.
The Ancestral Witch granted him this qualification because they considered that Da Yi was the first great shaman of the Houtu tribe.
After rounds of testing, only Chi You, one of the four great shamans, was able to withstand the essence of Houtu's Ancestral Witch blood and thus qualified to become Postnatal Ancestor Witch.
Now all the Ancestral Witch are busy helping Chi You, transforming his Great Witch body into Ancestral Witch body.
As for Houtu, although she lost her Ancestral Witch body and condensed a primordial, indestructible body, the Witch Clan still retained Houtu's title of Ancestral Witch.
Compared to the internal unity of the Witch Clan, the situation on the Demon Clan's side is not so good.
Because of what happened during Houtu's sermon, Di Jun came to hate the five lackeys led by Kunpeng.
In the Heavenly Court, the two sides are now on the verge of a full-blown fight.
The main hall of the Wa Saint Palace...
"Sister, Kunpeng and his four accomplices are acting recklessly because they have Bai Chen backing them up. You have to punish them and put an end to their evil ways!"
Because Kunpeng and his five companions had Bai Chen backing them up, Di Jun and his group couldn't directly attack Kunpeng.
So, Di Jun and his gang sent Fu Fuxi to complain about Kunpeng's five lackeys.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa did not immediately give Fuxi a reply, but instead woke up the white fur ball that was lying on her lap.
"┗|`O′|┛Aww~~"
After being woken up by Nuwa, Bai Chen, who was curled up in a ball, stretched.
"Bad Cat, my brother says your men are causing trouble in Heavenly Court. What do you think?"
Nuwa patted Bai Chen's round little head and asked for the cat's opinion, after all, Kunpeng and the other five were the cat's lackeys.
Bai Chen took out two innate spiritual fruits, handed one to Nuwa, and started eating the other himself.
"Smack smack!"
Bai Chen, munching on a spiritual fruit, gave Fuxi a mocking look, then said to Nuwa:
"Nuwa, this great goddess believes that there are indeed people in the Heavenly Court who are acting recklessly, but it is not Kunpeng."
"Although the five Kunpeng are not good people, they are discerning and know their place in the world. They know what they should and shouldn't do!"
Bai Chen's words were quite fair; he didn't overly favor the other five just because Kunpeng and the other five were his lackeys.
"Those five are definitely more discerning than those foolish guys."
Nuwa agreed with Bai Chen's point.
After all, the fact that Kunpeng and his five buddies knew to side with Bai Chen and become his Bad Cat was enough to prove that they were perceptive and could see the situation clearly.
In fact, Nuwa was well aware of what the five Kunpeng had done in the Heavenly Court. As long as the five of them did not collude with the Witch Clan, it would not have much of an impact on her; it would only affect Di Jun's authority.
"Nuwa, that damned demon is right about one thing: the demon race does indeed have a corrupt and evil trend nowadays."
This unhealthy trend is caused by those blind and wicked people!
Fuxi told the five Kunpeng, wasn't he also telling himself that the Great God Bai Chen had condoned his subordinates' violence?
Bai Chen wasn't one to suffer a loss, so he simply reported it to Fuxi and the others.
"Sister, don't listen to Bai Chen's nonsense; it's malicious slander."
Fuxi wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well that the blind monsters Bai Chen was referring to were himself Di Jun.
Nuwa paid little attention to Fuxi's accusations against Bai Chen, nor did she express any opinion.
Having known this cat for so many millennia, can't I discern the truth in its words? Do I need Fuxi's reminder?
After finishing the fruit, Bai Chen raised her little paws, as if asking for permission:
"Nuwa, as your close friend, I have decided to share your burdens and go to the Heavenly Court to rectify the evil ways of the demon race."
