Dijiang saw Dong Wanggong say that and said, "Everyone, hold on a moment. Dong Wanggong is, after all, the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. It really wouldn't be appropriate to beat him up directly... How about letting my two sisters beat him up and vent everyone's anger?"
Taiyi's eyes lit up. "That's a pretty good idea. Since he's the Head of Male Immortals, wouldn't it be fine to have female immortals beat him instead?"
Xuanxiao said, "Actually, all of you can beat him up. You have to understand... this is right outside Purple Cloud Palace. If the Dao Ancestor didn't want to watch the two of them get beaten, he would have stopped it long ago. It's obvious he's tacitly allowing it."
Taiyi said, "Young Friend Xuanxiao, will it really be all right to beat up Dong Wanggong?"
Xuanxiao said, "Everyone here is an innate god or demon. Whether you choose a male or female form is entirely up to you. Is it really that difficult to switch to a female form, stomp Dong Wanggong into the ground, and then change back?"
Dong Wanggong's expression changed. "Everyone, don't listen to him..."
Xuanming said, "Even so, Houtu and I should go first. You can all adjust your genders for now." As she spoke, Xuanming walked over and kicked Dong Wanggong to the ground, then dragged Houtu over and the two of them gave him a savage beating. Nuwa watched the spectacle and rushed over as well.
After the three beauties had stomped him mercilessly... Dong Wanggong was covered in footprints. Well, the Head of Male Immortals looked rather pathetic, and this created a considerable obstacle to his future establishment of the Immortal Court.
Hongjun could no longer stand watching from inside Purple Cloud Palace, so he sent Haotian out to say, "Everyone, the Dao Ancestor has ordered that no fighting is allowed in front of Purple Cloud Palace."
Dijun suggested, "Three fairies, how about stopping for now? The Dao Ancestor is already displeased, and beating someone up in front of Purple Cloud Palace doesn't look good either. How about dragging him back to the Primordial Wilderness before continuing?"
Nuwa nodded. "Yes, we should stop for now. Otherwise, if the Dao Ancestor refuses to let us attend the next lecture, that would be troublesome."
Dijiang said, "Then you'll be the ones losing out. Our Witch Clan will capture him, take him back, beat him for a few days, and then release him into the Primordial Wilderness. After all, whatever so-called Path of Nascent Soul Hongjun teaches has nothing to do with our Witch Clan. We won't be coming next time either."
Dong Wanggong cursed loudly, "Xuanxiao, you vile beast! You disobeyed the Dao Ancestor's orders and beat me up. When the next lecture begins, I'll definitely report you!"
Xuanxiao flew into a rage. "You dare call me a vile beast? You should know that I'm a direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones and an Orthodox Descendant of Pangu. Calling me a vile beast is the same as calling the Three Pure Ones vile beasts. Calling the Three Pure Ones vile beasts is the same as calling Grandfather God Pangu a vile beast. You..."
At this point, Dijiang stepped forward. "Nonsense, boy. If we're talking about being an Orthodox Descendant of Pangu, that title belongs to the Twelve Ancestral Witches."
Xuanxiao refused to yield. "That's not right. My three elders were all transformed from Grandfather God Pangu's Nascent Soul, so naturally they should count as Orthodox Descendants of Pangu."
Zhu Jiuyin held Dijiang back and said to Laozi, "We can choose not to bicker with a child, but Taiqing must acknowledge that our Witch Clan is the true Orthodox Descendant of Pangu."
Laozi was instantly speechless. What should I do? If I acknowledge that the Witch Clan is the Orthodox Descendant of Pangu, what happens to my dignity? But if I don't acknowledge it... there are three of us on our side, or four including this child Xuanxiao, and we still can't beat the Twelve Ancestral Witches...
He glanced at his two younger brothers and said through clenched teeth, "The Three Pure Ones were transformed from Pangu's Nascent Soul, so we are the orthodox line. The Witch Clan is also part of Pangu's lineage. Why must we argue?"
Dijiang said, "Fine. Since you say the Three Pure Ones are the Orthodox Descendants of Pangu, let's have a battle on Kunlun Mountain three thousand years from now. The victor will be the Orthodox Descendant of Pangu. How about it?" What he was really thinking was: Laozi has the Heaven and Earth Black and Yellow Exquisite Pagoda on his head, so he can really take a beating. Once we've finished beating up Dong Wanggong and our cultivation has improved, we'll talk. Three thousand years should probably be enough.
Laozi stroked his beard. "Then it shall be so." What he was thinking was: We definitely can't beat them right now. As for what happens three thousand years from now... we'll deal with it then.
And so, the first lecture in the Primordial Wilderness ended, and everyone dispersed.
