Catching the Cat by Shutting the Door!
At this moment, Houtu understood why Bai Chen wasn't afraid of Taiqing Laozi anymore; it turned out that the cat knew such a big secret about him.
A secret enough to cause the Three Pure Ones to split apart and turn against each other.
"It's truly fortunate that Laozi Taiqing inherited such great supernatural powers from the Father God!"
At this moment, Houtu couldn't help but sigh, after all, even though she was the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, her clone could not reach the combat power of a saint.
Houtu expressing her feelings, Houtu then began to criticize Taiqing Laozi:
"However, in order to cultivate the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Taiqing Laozi actually stole a source of origin from both Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian. He is utterly unworthy of being an elder brother and the head of the Three Pure Ones!"
According to Bai Chen, the three saintly avatars of Taiqing Laozi are Grand Pure Daoist, Daoist of Yuqing, and Daoist of Shangqing.
In order to cultivate the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Taiqing Laozi extracted a portion of the innate essence from Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian before they developed Innate Origin.
"Even though the Sect Master Tongtian is missing a piece of Innate Origin, his cultivation level is still above that Laozi Taiqing. His talent is indeed remarkable!"
Houtu praised Sect Master Tongtian's qualifications, but wasn't she also belittling Taiqing Laozi as a useless person?
Bai Chen jumped onto Houtu's shoulder, tugged at the strand of hair by her ear, and asked:
"Houtu, you're my closest friend, right?"
"It depends on whether what you're asking me to do is excessive."
Houtu knew Bai Chen too well. The Houtu this cat brought up the bond between Wu and Fei, it meant he had something to ask her, and it wasn't something trivial.
After all, if it were a minor matter, the cat would have handled it itself and wouldn't have needed to come to me or bring up the matter of friendship between the cat and the spirit of the spirit.
"Houtu, this matter is actually quite simple. All you need to do is nod your agreement when the time comes."
The Witch-Demon Tribulation are coming to an end soon, so Bai Chen needs to start pulling strings to release Yuanfeng.
Houtu, as the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, wielded considerable influence in the Primordial World world. Houtu, this witch was also his close friend, so Bai Chen decided to start by targeting Houtu.
"Little White, do you want me to agree to release Yuanfeng Yuanfeng let her regain her freedom?"
Although Bai Chen hadn't said it aloud, Houtu directly revealed Bai Chen's intention.
Nuwa had even come to see him specifically, saying that the cat might be looking for him and asking him to agree to release Yuanfeng.
I had almost forgotten about this, but I didn't expect it to happen today.
As expected, Nuwa's years of raising cats were not in vain; she learned some of the cat's temperament.
"Extremely clever!"
Bai Chen gave Houtu a thumbs up. Bai Chen felt that Yuanfeng and Houtu had no grudges against each other, so it wouldn't be a big problem to get Hou Tu to agree to release Yuanfeng.
"I refuse!"
Unfortunately, the truth was completely opposite to Bai Chen's prediction. Houtu ruthlessly refused to release Yuanfeng.
"Why???"
Bai Chen was puzzled. Although the Yuanfeng 'Three Clans Hegemony had wreaked havoc on the Primordial World, Houtu and the Witch Clan had not been affected!
On what grounds does this shaman refuse to release Yuanfeng?
"Little White, not to mention that Yuanfeng is inherently sinful, the South Bright Undying Volcano could erupt at any time without Yuanfeng's suppression, causing widespread devastation."
Houtu earnestly advised Bai Chen, assuring him that she would not release Yuanfeng, all for the sake of the Primordial World beings, not for personal grudges.
Nuwa: I second that!
Upon hearing Houtu's words, Bai Chen immediately offered a solution:
"Houtu, Yuanfeng's karma and karmic Merit and Fortune."
As for needing someone to suppress the South Bright Undying Volcano, this great god can just exchange those two dead birds for Yuanfeng, right?
Bai Chen had long been considering the difficulties that might be encountered in releasing Yuanfeng, so it already had solutions for the two aspects Houtu mentioned.
Houtu frowned upon hearing Bai Chen's solution. The fact that the cat could come up with a solution so quickly proved that, just as Nuwa had said, the cat had been planning to release Yuanfeng for a long time.
"I still disagree!"
Houtu rejected Bai Chen again, this time too lazy to even make up a reason.
He just didn't like Yuanfeng. It was Yuanfeng's fault for entrusting Bai Chen to Nuwa instead of him.
Yuanfeng: Houtu, your reasons for targeting me are absolutely outrageous.
Back then, you were a complete homebody, only knowing how to stay on Buzhou Mountain. I didn't even know you, so how could I entrust Bai Chen to you?
"You... you~"
Bai Chen looked at Houtu's Houtu rejection of him, just like Nuwa's rejection of Yuanfeng back then.
So, this witch and Nuwa are teaming up to cause trouble, right?
Nuwa and Houtu: Little White, it's not that we want to team up to cause trouble, it's that you always want to cause trouble.
"Hehehe!"
Bai Chen sneered, thankfully he had prepared a trump card against Hou Houtu that he was confident in, and then said:
"Houtu, I, the great goddess, will exchange the lives of Zhurong and Gonggong for your agreement to release Yuanfeng."
Bai Chen's trump card was the battle between Zhurong and Gonggong, in Gonggong angrily rammed into Buzhou Mountain.
Bai Chen calculated the time; now that the Earthly Marriage was complete, the time for Gonggong's angry collision with Buzhou Mountain should be approaching soon.
"Little White, what do you mean?"
When Houtu heard that it concerned the lives of her brothers Gonggong and Zhurong, she immediately became agitated.
He grabbed Bai Chen off his shoulder and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
"It's nothing special, it's just that Zhurong and Gonggong are about to perish and their powers will dissipate."
Houtu was anxious, Bai Chen pretended to be nonchalant and told her the news that the two ancestral Witch General Gonggong Zhurong perish.
Little Houtu, you've got her!
Houtu was shocked to hear this. Gonggong and Zhurong were her brothers. How could she, as their younger sister, remain calm upon hearing that her two brothers were about to perish?
As for Bai Chen lying, Houtu hadn't considered that possibility. Knowing the cat as she did, she was certain that what the cat said was true.
Bai Chen looked at the horrified Houtu and said:
"Houtu, if you agree to release Yuanfeng in the future, this great god will tell you why Zhurong and Gonggong were extinguished."
"Houtu, Gonggong and Zhurong are all your elder brothers. You wouldn't just stand by and watch them die, would you?"
Today, I, Great God Bai Chen, have Houtu. As I, Great God Bai Chen, said, even if she appears in the underground passage, it won't work.
Chapter 450 Closing the Door to Catch the Cat!
Under normal circumstances, Houtu could refuse outright, but this matter concerned the lives of her brothers Gonggong and Zhurong, Houtu had no choice but to comply!
"Okay, I agree!"
In the end, Houtu agreed to Bai Chen's conditions and agreed to release Yuanfeng in the future.
Houtu felt that even if she agreed, it shouldn't be a big problem, since there were other sages.
Unless the other sages agree, Yuanfeng can forget about regaining her freedom.
Bai Chen: This great god only needs the consent of the representatives of Heaven, Earth, and Man. As for whether the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti agree, it doesn't matter.
Now that you've agreed, one-third of the work is done.
"Swear an oath!"
Bai Chen doesn't Houtu; this witch's recent behavior really makes him question her character!
"Little White, you don't believe me?"
Houtu realized that the cat simply didn't trust her.
Under Bai Chen's strong insistence, Houtu finally agreed to take the oath in order to save Gonggong and Zhurong.
"Little White, hurry up and tell me!"
After Houtu made her vow, she grabbed Bai Chen by the tail and pressed him for answers, afraid that the cat might suddenly run away.
"It's nothing much, just a strong Calamity Qi. The Tribulation is using the demon race to scheme against the Witch Clan..."
While eating fruit, Bai Chen recounted the story of how the demon race schemed against the Witch Clan, sowed discord, Gonggong Zhurong, Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain.
"Little White, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"The two elder brothers, Gonggong Zhurong, do indeed have some discord. If the demon race were to sow discord among them, there is a real possibility that they would come to blows."
"But it's impossible that Gonggong, after his defeat, angrily struck Buzhou Mountain!"
Houtu doubted Bai Chen's words, mainly because Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven, was the sacred land of the Witch Clan Witch Clan the place of their faith. How could Gonggong, as the Ancestral Witch, possibly break Buzhou Mountain?
Moreover, as the Ancestral Witch, Houtu knew more than outsiders. Buzhou Mountain was the pillar of heaven, and it was blessed by the remaining will of the great god Pangu. Even a sage's self-destruction might not be able to break Buzhou Mountain, let alone her own brother Gonggong, who had not yet attained enlightenment.
Gonggong: I was just so ashamed and angry that I wanted to kill myself by smashing my head against a wall. I never expected that I would be so stubborn that I smashed Buzhou Mountain with my head.
"Nothing is impossible. Your Witch Clan is not very bright to begin with, and under the influence of the Calamity Qi, it's perfectly reasonable for Gonggong, as the elder brother, to be beaten by his younger brother Zhurong and then angrily strike Buzhou Mountain!"
Bai Chen said irritably, "Even someone Dao Ancestor Hongjun was affected by the Calamity Qi and still failed in the Dao-Devil War, only able to become a Heavenly Dao Saint."
Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could be affected by the Calamity Qi, let alone Gonggong and Zhurong.
Houtu pinched Bai Chen's round face with both hands and said:
"Little White, why are you resorting to personal attacks?"
Houtu felt that Bai Chen's actions constituted a personal attack, an attack on the entire Witch Clan.
"But what I'm saying is the truth!"
Bai Chen broke free from Houtu's hands and even pushed Houtu Tu away.
After Bai Chen obtained Houtu's promise to release Yuanfeng, he thought about going back to persuade Nuwa.
But Houtu wouldn't let Bai Chen escape so easily. With a flick of her sleeve, the gates of the Nine Splendor Jade Palace closed, effectively catching the cat behind closed doors.
"Houtu, what do you mean?"
When Bai Chen Houtu had closed the door, he immediately questioned Houtu.
