Xing Tian's Plans!

As one of the twelve Ancestral Witches, Houtu's marriage was a major event for the entire Witch Clan, and even for the entire Primordial Era!

The Ancestral Witches decided to hold a grand Witch Clan ceremony in three days as the engagement celebration for Houtu and Shen Hongfei.

So after everyone left Pangu Hall, Dijiang immediately notified the other members of the Witch Clan about this matter!

"What! Ancestral Witch Houtu is getting married? And marrying an unborn fetus!"

"Are you kidding me! How can our Witch Clan's dignified Ancestral Witch marry a mere child!"

"Have the leaders lost their minds? No, I must find the leaders and ask them!"

"..."

Upon receiving the news, the Witch Clan members immediately began to discuss their dissatisfaction.

Especially Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Kuafu, and other young members of the Witch Clan, who were even more agitated!

Houtu was the most beautiful woman in the Witch Clan, and many admired her.

However, due to the gap in strength and status, these young Witch Clan members did not dare to reveal their feelings!

Now that they knew their goddess was getting married, one could imagine how jealous and angry they would be!

Shen Hongfei's identity as a fetus was merely an excuse for them to object.

If anyone else wanted to marry Houtu, they would probably find a host of excuses to object!

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kuafu, three great witches, were chosen by the Witch Clan members to represent them and seek an audience with Dijiang in Pangu Hall.

"Come in!"

Dijiang, having been informed, immediately ordered the three to enter the hall.

It was not easy for other Witch Clan members to see Dijiang, but Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kuafu were favored juniors by Dijiang, so he gave them an opportunity to seek an audience, wanting to know the reason for their visit.

"Greetings, leader!"

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kuafu nervously bowed to Dijiang.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches held supreme status in the Witch Clan, and the leader Dijiang was unquestionable!

These three young great witches had been acting on impulse earlier, but now, upon seeing Dijiang, they became flustered and uneasy.

"Yes, what business do you have with me?"

Dijiang asked calmly.

"We heard that the leader is going to marry Ancestral Witch Houtu to an unborn fetus. Is this true?"

Finally, Xing Tian, gritting his teeth, asked.

"That's correct. I have already informed the clan members. In three days, we will hold the engagement ceremony for Ancestral Witch Houtu!"

Dijiang nodded.

"How can this be! Shen Hongfei is just an unborn fetus. How can he be worthy of our Witch Clan's Ancestral Witch?"

Xing Tian's face turned red.

"Please reconsider, leader. If our dignified Witch Clan marries a fetus, won't it become a laughingstock among all the races in the Primordial Era!"

"Indeed, leader. If this matter spreads, our Witch Clan will surely become the laughingstock of the Primordial Era!"

Hou Yi and Kuafu next to him quickly chimed in.

"Hmph! I have already decided on this matter, and I don't need your input!"

Hearing the three speak, Dijiang's expression immediately darkened, and he rebuked them!

Dijiang could see through the three's petty thoughts as clearly as if they were on fire!

Countless people in the Witch Clan admired Houtu, and among them, Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kuafu often showered Houtu with attention!

Now that the three were opposing Houtu's marriage to Shen Hongfei, it was well within Dijiang's expectations.

In fact, if he hadn't made a promise in person earlier, Dijiang would not have wanted Houtu to marry a fetus like Shen Hongfei.

However, now that the matter was settled, Dijiang naturally would not allow anyone to obstruct it further!

"Leader..."

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kuafu wanted to say something more, but Dijiang's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand at them, shouting, "Get out!"

"Boom!"

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kuafu felt a powerful, unparalleled hurricane instantly strike them!

The three had almost no power to resist and were instantly blown away by the hurricane, then crashed into a heap outside Pangu Hall!

"Cough cough cough... Ouch!"

"Hiss! It hurts so much!"

"..."

The three scrambled to their feet, feeling intense pain all over their bodies, and couldn't help but cry out in agony.

They dared not linger outside Pangu Hall and quickly scrambled away from the area!

The other members of the Witch Clan waiting outside Pangu Hall quickly rushed forward when they saw the battered figures of Xing Tian and the other two.

"Xing Tian, what happened to you guys? Who beat you up?"

"What did the leader say? Did he cancel Ancestral Witch Houtu's engagement?"

"..."

The crowd of Witch Clan members surrounded the three, bombarding them with questions.

"Sigh, don't even mention it!"

Xing Tian said with a bitter expression, recounting to everyone what happened when the three met Dijiang.

"How could this happen? Why does the leader insist on marrying Ancestral Witch Houtu to a fetus!"

"What should we do? Should we ask the other Ancestral Witches?"

"..."

After hearing Xing Tian's story, the hearts of the Witch Clan members sank.

The other members of the Witch Clan were unaware that Shen Hongfei had already saved their clan from a major war!

Therefore, they didn't understand why Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches insisted on marrying Houtu to Shen Hongfei.

However, they could all see the determination in Dijiang's attitude, which made them lose confidence in trying to persuade him further.

With no other options, the Witch Clan members dispersed.

"Xing Tian, are we just going to let this go?"

After the other Witch Clan members had left, Kuafu asked with a tone of unwillingness.

Although Dijiang's attitude was firm, they still felt incredibly reluctant to just watch Houtu marry someone else like this!

"Of course, we can't just let it go! Ancestral Witch Houtu definitely wouldn't want to marry a fetus. She must have her reasons, and we have to find a way to save her from this suffering!"

Xing Tian declared with conviction.

At that moment, Xing Tian had already conjured a dramatic scenario in his mind where Houtu was being forced into marriage with Shen Hongfei against her will!

"But judging by the leader's demeanor, he won't easily change his mind. What else can we do?"

Hou Yi asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry!"

Xing Tian said with an air of confidence, "According to our Witch Clan's traditions, for a man to get engaged to a woman, he must first defeat any other challengers who also wish to marry her! At the ceremony in three days, I will challenge Shen Hongfei. Then, we'll see how he, a mere fetus, accepts my challenge!"

"This... isn't this going too far!"

"Xing Tian, you're going to challenge a fetus? Won't all the other clan members laugh at you for bullying the weak?"

Hou Yi and Kuafu stared at Xing Tian in shock, not expecting him to come up with such a shameless idea!

Xing Tian, a powerful cultivator at the initial stage of the Golden Immortal realm, challenging a fetus – if this news spread, it would likely become a laughingstock throughout the Primordial Era!

"Hmph! Who does he think he is, daring to have designs on Ancestral Witch Houtu? As long as I can save Ancestral Witch Houtu from her suffering, I'm willing to bear the infamy!"

Xing Tian said, as if moved by his own noble intentions.
