And so, after the Three Pure Ones, Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng, Dijun, and over a hundred other mighty beings had just beaten up Jieyin and Zhunti, Hongjun appeared and said, "Disperse, all of you." With a single finger, he shattered the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and then used his great magic to teleport all the immortals, except for Xuanxiao, back to their respective dojos.
Afterward, Hongjun looked at Xuanxiao with anger on his face and said, "Jieyin and Zhunti are, after all, Saints of the Heavenly Dao. How can you humiliate them like this? You've incurred this karma, how will you resolve it in the future?"
Hearing this, a murderous glint flashed across Xuanxiao's brow. He said, "Xuanxiao understands. Dao Ancestor, what you say is very true. I will go and settle this with them now, lest they cause trouble for me after achieving Sainthood in the future."
Hongjun was speechless and stopped Xuanxiao. He said, "This poor dao owes karma to Jieyin and Zhunti, and I have no choice but to assist them somewhat. This time, if you let them go, how about it?"
Xuanxiao nodded and said, "Alright, consider it repayment for your grace in imparting the Dao." With that, he flashed away and flew towards the Immortal Court in the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Hongjun shook his head and thought to himself, This old dao will focus on merging with the Dao and henceforth, will not concern himself with worldly affairs.
"Ding, task issued: Deal with Dong Wanggong. Hint: You can instigate a decisive battle between Dong Wanggong and the Witch Clan. Reward: High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Purple Lightning Sword." Within the System Space, a certain Mature Woman casually issued the task.
Xuanxiao heard this and was stunned. He thought to himself, This... instigating a conflict between Dong Wanggong and the Witch Clan? How can I even do that? After some thought, Xuanxiao decided to follow Luohu's basic principles and mimic magical fluctuations to attack the Witches and sow discord.
Thus, Xuanxiao activated the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques' World Creation, directly creating a team of Immortal Court cultivators. They attacked the Witch Clan's territory, beat up a bunch of minor witches, and then, with a horde of clones, fled towards Penglai Island.
Behind them, the Great Witch Xing Tian of the Witch Clan led his people in hot pursuit. They chased all the way to Penglai, where the clones simply disappeared. Well, they all wore the same clothes, and their appearances weren't clearly seen. With Xing Tian's intellect, he wouldn't overthink it. He immediately began his Xing Tian dance, wielding his great axe and giant shield, charging into the crowd of Immortal Court immortals and starting a slaughter.
When Xing Tian made his move, the Immortal Court's side, including Dong Wanggong and a host of Quasi-Saints and Grand Unity Golden Immortals, couldn't sit still any longer. Dong Wanggong waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's capture Xing Tian together, and then demand an explanation from the Witch Clan."
Xuanxiao, hidden in the shadows, saw Dong Wanggong emerge, holding his Dragon Head Crutch. He thought to himself, It's settled. As long as Dong Wanggong beats up Xing Tian, the feud between the Witch Clan and the Immortal Court will be completely ignited.
Xing Tian swung his axe towards Dong Wanggong. Dong Wanggong wasn't flustered. He tapped his Dragon Head Crutch, and a dragon-shaped energy blast shot straight towards Xing Tian's face. Xing Tian felt a powerful force surge towards him, but he didn't retreat, steadily meeting the dragon-shaped energy blast.
However, just as Xing Tian thought he could easily block Dong Wanggong's attack, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Because when the dragon-shaped energy blast hit his face, he felt a powerful impact that directly shattered his head.
Xing Tian's head instantly shattered, and blood splattered everywhere. His body lost its support and collapsed powerlessly onto the ground. Blood quickly dyed the surrounding land red, forming a scene of vibrant crimson.
Dong Wanggong looked at the fallen Xing Tian, a triumphant smile appearing on his face. And so, Dong Wanggong slowly turned his head and looked at the assembled immortals, saying, "The invading enemy has been slain by this seat. Later, we will go to Buzhou Mountain together to reason with the Witch Clan."
Just then, Xing Tian suddenly stood up. He used his breasts as eyes and his navel as a mouth. From behind Dong Wanggong, he raised his hand and swung his axe, severing Dong Wanggong's physical body.
Dong Wanggong's head, which had fallen to the ground, sighed. "Alas, I was careless. There are many who can survive in the Primordial World without a head." Saying this, he placed his head back on his neck and said, "I didn't expect you, Xing Tian, to cultivate the Wood Law, allowing you to survive without a Primordial Spirit and with your body shattered."
With that, Dong Wanggong took out a Pure Yang Net and covered Xing Tian with it. He said, "Guards, take Xing Tian and come with me to the Witch Clan to demand an explanation."
"Ding, successfully instigated a conflict between the Witch Clan and the Immortal Court. Reward has been credited." The System's prompt tone sounded.
