Xuanxiao: This One Doesn't Count, It's Not Edible

Xuanxiao watched Xing Tian's actions and shook his head, saying, "You're quite the slacker. This one doesn't count. I wanted Zhunti's leg for soup, so this one doesn't count, it's inedible."

Jumang said, "Young friend Xuanxiao, you're still young. This can actually be eaten."

Xuanxiao shook his head and said, "Then you keep it to eat yourself. I want the left leg."

Jumang nodded, snatched the great axe from Xing Tian's hand, and said, "How long will you keep chopping? I'll do it." With that, he swung the axe with all his might at Zhunti's left leg.

Zhunti cursed, "Hey, why are you only chopping me? My senior brother is also a Spirit Root Transformation!"

Xuanxiao's eyes lit up and he said, "Your senior brother Jieyin is also a Spirit Root Transformation? Are you sure?"

Zhunti nodded and said, "That's right. My senior brother transformed from the innate spirit root Bitter Bamboo. That's why his complexion is usually so bitter."

Xuanxiao nodded and said, "Do you feel it's unfair that I'm only chopping you and not him? That's simple, why not chop both of them?"

Zhunti realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I'll cut off an arm and a leg myself to protect my senior brother."

Xuanxiao was speechless and said, "Fine. Leave one arm and one leg, and you two can scram." Then, he turned his gaze to the Witch Clan and said, "The Dao Ancestor has Merged with the Dao. The great war between the Witch and Demon races still has some way to go. Our Demon Race now controls the Heavenly Court. What about your Witch Clan? You haven't even fully controlled Buzhou Mountain, and you still want to wage war against us?"

Jumang's face turned cold and he said, "Hmph, it won't be long before our Witch Clan controls Buzhou Mountain. Just you wait."

Xuanxiao laughed heartily and said, "Good, I'll see how you unify Buzhou Mountain." With that, he took Taiyi back to the Heavenly Court. Dijun said, "Xuan Emperor, why didn't you eliminate those two Ancestral Witches just now?"

Xuanxiao shook his head and said, "There's no need to eliminate them. After all, we still need them to go back and deliver a message to Dijiang to stir up trouble, right?"

Dijun was speechless and said, "Tricking the Witch Clan into unifying Buzhou Mountain? Does this benefit us in any way?"

Xuanxiao nodded and said, "Of course, it benefits us. Where are Nuwa and Fuxi's dojos?"

Kunpeng clapped his hands upon hearing this and said, "Demon Emperor, Xuan Emperor's plan is brilliant! Mocking the Witch Clan for being incapable of unifying Buzhou Mountain, the Witch Clan lacks brains and will naturally purge the great powers on Buzhou Mountain. The Qilin Clan, Nuwa, and Fuxi are all on Buzhou Mountain. With the Witch Clan doing this, they might join our Heavenly Court for revenge."

Just as they thought, inside the Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain, the Ancestral Witches were holding a meeting. Dijiang said, "Brothers, that Demon Race Xuan Emperor mocked us for not even unifying Buzhou Mountain, and even said that the Demon Race controls the heavens and the Witch Clan controls the earth. What should we do?"

The hot-tempered Zhurong said, "What's so difficult about unifying Buzhou Mountain? Just drive away all the other clans, and that's it!"

Xuanming was speechless and said, "Do you Ancestral Witches not eat? Do the lesser witches not eat? Drive everyone away, and who will you eat??"

Zhu Jiuyin pondered for a moment and said, "To repel foreign enemies, we must first pacify the internal situation. Our Witch Clan has lived on Buzhou Mountain for a long time, hunting everywhere. How many of the great powers on Buzhou Mountain are not related to other beings? Why don't we drive away all the great powers?"

Houtu raised an objection and said, "That doesn't seem right, does it? After all, the Fuxi siblings on Buzhou Mountain have never had any enmity with us. Why would we attack them out of the blue? We must remember that Nuwa is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor."

Xuanming said, "For the sake of our Witch Clan, we can't worry about that much. At worst, we can deal with Nuwa and the others later. Let's deal with the other great powers first."

Thus, the Ancestral Witches began to drive away various great powers from Mount Sumeru. For example, Nine Spirit Yuan Sheng of the Lion Clan, who was living peacefully with a group of large lions on the grassland at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, was suddenly beaten by Xuanming and ordered to leave Buzhou Mountain. He was extremely wronged and directly took his offspring to join the Heavenly Court.

... (Other races were also driven away and fled to join the Demon Race.)

Until one day, half a year later, in Fuxi's cave dwelling, Fuxi was studying his Eight Trigrams at home when he suddenly frowned and said, "Little sister, the hexagram today is extremely ominous. Something bad might happen."

Nuwa asked doubtfully, "We are both Quasi-Saints. Would anyone dare to trouble us if they didn't have a Primordial Spirit?"

As they were speaking, Xuanming arrived and said, "Sister Nuwa, Big Brother Dijiang has ordered that within Buzhou Mountain, no Quasi-Saint great powers other than the Witch Clan are allowed. I have specifically brought two elder brothers to help you siblings move."

Nuwa's pretty face froze and she said, "What the hell... My brother and I have lived on Buzhou Mountain since we transformed. Why are you being so overbearing?"

Zhurong, with his fiery temper, didn't care if Nuwa was a beauty or not, and directly retorted, "So what? Buzhou Mountain is now the territory of the Witch Clan, and all other races must leave. Big Brother Dijiang said that those who refuse to comply will be forcibly expelled. My second brother and the others are already driving away the Qilin Clan."

Fuxi looked at Nuwa and said, "Alas, these guys don't have Primordial Spirits and can't be reasoned with. Let's just move. There are so many famous mountains in the Primordial World, why worry about not having a place for us siblings?"

Nuwa still pouted, unwilling to agree, but Fuxi, who disliked fighting, forcibly dragged Nuwa away.
