Just like that, after the Three Pure Ones, Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng, Dijun, and over a hundred other mighty figures had finished beating Jieyin and Zhunti, Hongjun appeared and said, "Everyone, disperse." With a single point of his finger, he broke through the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, then used his immense power to teleport all the immortals except Xuanxiao back to their respective Dojos.
Afterward, Hongjun looked angrily at Xuanxiao and said, "Jieyin and Zhunti are Heavenly Dao Saints, after all. How can you humiliate them like this? You have forged this cause and effect—how will you settle it in the future?"
Hearing this, a trace of killing intent flashed between Xuanxiao's brows. He said, "Xuanxiao understands. Dao Ancestor is absolutely right. I'll catch up with them now and settle this matter, so they won't come looking for trouble after achieving Sainthood."
Hongjun was speechless. He stopped Xuanxiao and said, "This poor Daoist owes Jieyin and Zhunti a debt of cause and effect, so I had no choice but to help them a little. Let them go this time. How about that?"
Xuanxiao nodded. "All right. Consider it repayment for your grace in teaching me the Dao." After saying that, he flashed away toward the Demon Court in the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Hongjun shook his head and thought, I'd better focus on becoming Merged with the Dao. From now on, I'll stay out of worldly affairs.
"Ding! Quest issued: Deal with Dong Wanggong. Hint: You can provoke Dong Wanggong into a decisive battle with the Witch Clan. Reward: a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Lightning Sword." Within the system space, a certain mature beauty casually issued the quest.
Xuanxiao was dumbfounded when he heard this. What the... How am I supposed to sow discord between Dong Wanggong and the Witch Clan? After pondering for a while, Xuanxiao decided to follow Luohu's basic principles: imitate the fluctuations of magical power, attack the Witches, and sow discord between them.
And so, Xuanxiao activated the World Creation technique among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, directly creating a squad of Immortal Court cultivators. They attacked the Witch Clan's territory, beat up a group of Lesser Witches, and then fled toward Penglai Island together with a large number of clones.
Behind them, the Great Witch Xing Tian of the Witch Clan led his people in hot pursuit. When they chased the clones all the way to Penglai, the clones vanished without a trace. Well, their clothes had all been identical, and no one had seen their faces clearly. With Xing Tian's brain, there was no way he would think too deeply about it. He simply swung Gan Qi, wielded his great ax and massive shield, charged into the Immortal Court immortals, and began slaughtering them.
Once Xing Tian made his move, the Immortal Court could no longer sit still. Dong Wanggong and the other Quasi-Saints and Grand Unity Golden Immortals among the Immortal Court's experts all sprang into action. Dong Wanggong waved his hand and said, "Let's go. We'll capture Xing Tian together, then demand an explanation from the Witch Clan."
Seeing Dong Wanggong emerge with the Dragon Head Crutch, Xuanxiao thought, It's settled. As long as Dong Wanggong beats Xing Tian, the Witch Clan and the Immortal Court will be irreconcilably at odds.
Xing Tian swung his ax at Dong Wanggong. Dong Wanggong remained calm and merely tapped his Dragon Head Crutch. A dragon-shaped wave of energy shot straight toward Xing Tian's face. Xing Tian sensed the tremendous force rushing toward him, but he did not retreat. He stood firm and met the dragon-shaped wave head-on.
However, just as Xing Tian thought he could easily block Dong Wanggong's attack, an incredulous expression appeared on his face. When the dragon-shaped wave struck him in the face, he felt a powerful impact directly shatter his skull.
Xing Tian's head exploded in an instant, spraying blood in all directions. His body lost its support and collapsed helplessly to the ground. Blood quickly dyed the surrounding earth crimson, creating a scene of startling scarlet.
Dong Wanggong looked at Xing Tian's fallen body, a smug smile spreading across his face. Then he slowly turned around and looked at the immortals. "The invader has been slain by me. Later, we'll go to Buzhou Mountain together and demand an explanation from the Witch Clan."
Just then, Xing Tian suddenly stood up. Using his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth, he raised his hand behind Dong Wanggong and swung his ax, severing Dong Wanggong's physical body.
Dong Wanggong's head, lying on the ground, sighed. "Sigh, I was careless. In the Primordial Wilderness, far too many people can survive without their heads." As he spoke, he pressed his head back onto his neck. "I never thought you, Xing Tian, had cultivated the Wood Law. It allowed you to preserve your life despite having no spirit and a shattered body."
After saying that, Dong Wanggong took out a Pure Yang Net and cast it over Xing Tian. "Someone, take Xing Tian with us. We're going to the Witch Clan to demand an explanation."
"Ding! Successfully provoked a battle between the Witch Clan and the Immortal Court. The reward has been delivered." The system notification rang out.
