The one who had made the move was none other than the Witch Clan's leader—Dijiang!
"Hmph! The Demon Clan is becoming more and more outrageous. They keep invading our Witch Clan's territory. Do they really think our Witch Clan is easy to bully?"
Looking at the corpses of demons strewn across the ground, Dijiang snorted coldly.
"Big Brother is right! The Demon Clan wants to dominate the Primordial World, and their ambitions are already obvious. Even if our Witch Clan chooses to tolerate them, they will inevitably keep pressing us. We must fight back!"
A tall figure standing behind Dijiang, with the head of a beast and the body of a man, clad in red scales, also shouted angrily.
This man was Zhurong, ranked third among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Zhurong had always had a fiery temper, and he was also one of the staunchest advocates of war among the Twelve Ancestral Witches!
"But the Demon Clan is powerful now. If our Witch Clan fights them head-on, who knows how many of our people will be buried on the battlefield!"
Another Witch Clan man standing behind Dijiang, with the head of a python and the body of a man, clad in black scales, shook his head and sighed.
This man was Gonggong, ranked fifth among the Twelve Ancestral Witches. He did not agree with going to war against the Demon Clan and was considered one of the Witch Clan's advocates of peace.
"Hmph! Fifth Brother, I think you're simply timid and cowardly! Our Witch Clan is descended from Father God Pangu. How could we fear these demon creatures covered in scales and horns?"
Zhurong looked at Gonggong with disdain and spoke contemptuously.
"Ridiculous! I'm not afraid. I just don't want our people to die for nothing!"
Gonggong's face flushed red as he glared angrily at Zhurong.
Because of the question of whether to fight or make peace with the Demon Clan, Zhurong and Gonggong had always been at odds. They had already argued about it many times!
"All right, stop arguing, you two brothers! Little Sister has already gone to Mount Buzhou to ask Fellow Daoist Nuwa for advice, hasn't she? When she returns, we'll hear Fellow Daoist Nuwa's opinion and then decide whether to fight the Demon Clan or make peace with them!"
Another Ancestral Witch, with the head of a man and the body of a dragon, his entire body crimson red, hurriedly spoke up to persuade Zhurong and Gonggong.
The speaker was Zhujiuyin, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, ranked ninth among them.
"Nuwa? She's merely a junior. Why should our Witch Clan listen to her opinion?"
Zhurong spoke with displeasure.
Faced with the Demon Clan's repeated provocations, Zhurong wished he could charge into the Demon Clan Heavenly Court and kill them right now. He had no desire to hear anyone else's opinion!
"Although Nuwa is our junior, her strength is already no weaker than ours! Moreover, Nuwa's elder brother Fuxi is now one of the Demon Emperors. Perhaps we can reach an agreement with the Demon Clan through Nuwa."
Gonggong's eyes lit up as he spoke.
"Hmph! If that's the case, then Nuwa should be closer to the Demon Clan. How could she sincerely help us?"
Zhurong spoke with disdain.
"All right! Let's wait for Little Sister to return and see what opinion Nuwa gives us. Then we'll make a decision!"
Dijiang made the decision directly.
Zhurong curled his lips. Though he was deeply unwilling, he did not dare say anything more.
Just then, all the Ancestral Witches raised their heads in unison and looked toward the northeast!
At this moment, two figures were speeding toward the Witch Clan from a million miles away!
The visitors were naturally Houtu and Nuwa, along with Shen Hongfei, who was still in Nuwa's womb.
The moment the two women approached within a million miles of the Witch Clan's stronghold, the Twelve Ancestral Witches discovered their whereabouts.
"I didn't expect Little Sister to actually bring Fellow Daoist Nuwa here personally!"
Dijiang spoke in surprise.
They had originally only asked Houtu to find Nuwa and inquire about how to deal with the Demon Clan. They had not expected Nuwa to come personally!
"It seems Little Sister and Fellow Daoist Nuwa truly have an extraordinary relationship. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Nuwa would not have traveled countless miles to visit our Witch Clan herself!"
Gonggong said with relief.
With Houtu and Nuwa's speed, a million miles was no more than a stone's throw away.
While the Ancestral Witches were speaking, Houtu and Nuwa had already entered the Witch Clan's territory.
"Let's go! Since our guests have arrived, we'll go welcome them!"
Dijiang said to the other Ancestral Witches, then immediately flapped his wings and flew toward Houtu and Nuwa.
The other Ancestral Witches also followed Dijiang out to greet them!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had always considered themselves descendants of Pangu. Given their status, they normally would not personally welcome Nuwa, a junior.
However, Nuwa's strength was now no weaker than theirs. In addition, the Witch Clan currently had a favor to ask of her, so they temporarily set aside their pride.
In the blink of an eye, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had crossed several hundred thousand miles and stopped in front of Houtu and Nuwa.
Seeing the group of Ancestral Witches suddenly appear before them, Houtu and Nuwa immediately stopped their flight.
"Big Brother!"
Houtu greeted Dijiang and the others with delight.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"
Nuwa greeted the group of Ancestral Witches with a smile, her attitude neither servile nor overbearing.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were renowned throughout the Primordial World. If this had been the old Nuwa, she would inevitably have felt nervous upon seeing them.
But ever since she had gone to Zixiao Palace to listen to Hongjun's teachings, not only had Nuwa's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, she had also met many mighty figures of the Primordial World, such as the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin. She could already face the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others with a normal state of mind.
"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, to our Witch Clan as a guest!"
Dijiang courteously stepped forward and said, "Please come with us to Pangu Hall, where we can have a proper chat!"
After saying this, Dijiang personally led Nuwa and the others toward the Witch Clan's central territory.
Everyone soon reached the center of the Witch Clan's territory and arrived before a majestic bronze hall standing a hundred zhang tall.
This bronze hall was none other than the Witch Clan's Pangu Hall. It enshrined the Witch Clan's Father God, Pangu, and was the place where the Witch Clan conducted sacrifices and held discussions!
Dijiang had brought Nuwa here, which was enough to show how highly he regarded her!
After entering the hall, the guests and hosts took their seats separately.
Dijiang went straight to the point. Looking at Nuwa, he asked, "Little Sister has already told Fellow Daoist Nuwa about the current situation between our Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, right? I wonder if you have any way to resolve the conflict between our two clans?"
"I don't have any solution!"
Nuwa shook her head, then reached out and gently stroked her belly. "It was this little fellow in my belly who said that he has a way to resolve the problem your Witch Clan is facing."
"What? Fellow Daoist Nuwa, are you joking?"
"This baby hasn't even been born yet? Fellow Daoist Nuwa, are you making fools of us?"
"..."
Hearing Nuwa's words, all the Ancestral Witches, including Dijiang, were stunned. They stared at Nuwa's belly in disbelief.
They had heard of Shen Hongfei's existence before and knew that he possessed profound fortune. Even before his birth, he had already attracted countless mighty figures of the Primordial World, all competing to take him as a disciple!
But even so, they did not believe that an unborn child could truly resolve the troubles facing their Witch Clan!
The Ancestral Witches glared angrily at Nuwa, thinking that she was making fun of them!
"Brothers, don't be anxious! Although Hongfei has not yet been born, he possesses extraordinary talent and exceptional intelligence. He is not comparable to ordinary infants!"
Houtu hurriedly spoke up from the side, soothing the furious Ancestral Witches.
