Witch Clan Grand Sacrifice! Fuxi Bestows Gifts!

Dense rows of tents were set up outside Pangu Hall, stretching for hundreds of miles!

The closer the Witch Clan members were to Pangu Hall's vicinity, the higher their strength and status.

Bonfires were lit on the plaza outside Pangu Hall, and countless beasts were slaughtered and roasted over the flames!

The enticing aroma filled the entire plaza. Countless Witch Clan men and women danced and sang around the bonfires, the air filled with boisterous noise.

"Clang!"

With a clear bell chime, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Nuwa slowly emerged from Pangu Hall.

"Greetings, Ancestral Witches!"

The assembled Witch Clan members on the plaza all knelt on the ground, solemnly saluting the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

"Rise, all of you!"

Dijiang's commanding voice echoed throughout the plaza, and the Witch Clan members then slowly got to their feet.

"Today is the engagement ceremony of my younger sister Houtu and Nuwa's son, Shen Hongfei! According to our Witch Clan tradition, a grand sacrifice shall be held to inform our Father God Pangu!" Dijiang surveyed the surrounding Witch Clan members and loudly declared, "I announce, the sacrificial ceremony begins!"

As Dijiang's voice fell, dozens of Witch Clan shamans stepped onto the pre-arranged altar and began to praise Father God Pangu in loud voices!

"Primordial ancestor of heaven and earth, only our Father God! Born from chaos, established in divinity! Following the Heavenly Mandate, receiving the command to enlighten!"

"Yin and Yang first separated, opening the Heavenly Gate! His essence became all things, his heart is light!"

"..."

Amidst the praises, Pangu Hall suddenly emitted a brilliant light. A colossal phantom of Pangu, reaching from heaven to earth, abruptly appeared above the hall!

"We pay respects to Father God!"

All the Witch Clan members, including the Twelve Ancestral Witches, knelt down with solemn expressions.

Although Nuwa was not of the Witch Clan, she also solemnly bowed to the phantom of Pangu.

Pangu possessed the merit of opening the heavens; without Pangu, there would be no Primordial Era or its billions of beings!

The slaughtered and cooked beasts were carried one by one to the altar and offered to Pangu.

In this moment of serene solemnity, the sacrificial ceremony for Pangu was finally completed!

Next, it was time to hold the engagement ceremony for Houtu and Shen Hongfei.

"Father God above! Today, my younger sister Houtu will be engaged to Nuwa's son Shen Hongfei. We ask Father God to bear witness!"

Dijiang bowed respectfully to the phantom of Pangu.

Houtu and Nuwa also stood side by side, both bowing to the phantom of Pangu.

Houtu was wearing a red ceremonial dress of the Witch Clan today, and under the glow of the bonfires, she was breathtakingly beautiful!

"Congratulations to Ancestral Witch Houtu on her wedding!"

The assembled Witch Clan members immediately cheered and offered their heartfelt congratulations.

Representatives from other factions who had come to observe also stepped forward to present their gifts.

"Congratulations on Ancestral Witch Houtu's grand wedding! Our Six-Eared Clan presents a bunch of the Innate Spiritual Fruit, Purple Rhyme Grapes, as a congratulatory gift!"

A macaque with six ears stepped forward and respectfully presented a bunch of grapes emitting a faint purple light.

"Congratulations on Ancestral Witch Houtu's engagement! Our Rock Mountain Clan presents an Earth Heart Core as a congratulatory gift!"

A rock giant also stepped forward, presenting a gem that emitted a scorching red glow.

"The Spirit Turtle Clan presents a Sea-Calming Spirit Pearl, congratulating Ancestral Witch Houtu on her wedding!"

"Our Merman Clan offers a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Coral, congratulating Ancestral Witch Houtu on her wedding!"

"..."

As the representatives of each clan stepped forward, countless rare treasures were presented to Houtu one by one.

These were subordinate races of the Witch Clan. Now that Ancestral Witch Houtu was getting married, they naturally had to curry favor!

As for Shen Hongfei, the other party to the engagement, he was completely ignored by these people!

Shen Hongfei was merely an unborn fetus. While Nuwa's strength was not weak, she was alone without any backing. Naturally, these people did not pay much attention to her and her son!

"Our Demon Clan presents two Yellow Middle Plums, an Innate Spiritual Fruit, and a Treasure Gathering Golden Basin, an Innate Spiritual Treasure, to congratulate Shen Hongfei and Ancestral Witch Houtu on their engagement!"

Just then, another voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears!

As the voice faded, a figure descended from the sky, slowly landing before Houtu and Nuwa!

The person who arrived was none other than Fuxi, who had been sent on this mission!

"Did I hear that right? The Demon Clan actually came to give gifts?"

"Aren't the Demon Clan and our Witch Clan mortal enemies? Why would they come to give gifts?"

"Does the Demon Clan have some conspiracy? They've even brought such heavy gifts?"

"..."

The entire plaza fell silent upon seeing Fuxi suddenly appear, and then instantly erupted in an uproar!

The Witch Clan members, in particular, were seething with anger, wishing they could rush forward and fight Fuxi themselves!

In the past, there were constant conflicts between the Witch and Demon Clans, and many Witch Clan members had lost loved ones to the Demon Clan. They held an irreconcilable hatred for the demons!

Now, a demon daring to show up here naturally ignited the rage of these Witch Clan members!

"Brother, why have you come!"

Nuwa was delighted at first when she saw Fuxi appear, but her heart sank when she took in the sight of the angry Witch Clan members surrounding them.

On this joyous occasion of her son's engagement, Nuwa naturally wished for Fuxi, her only relative, to be by her side.

However, Fuxi had come under the guise of the Demon Clan, and his intentions were clearly not pure!

"Heh heh, today is my great-nephew's engagement ceremony. Can't I, his uncle, come to offer my congratulations?"

Fuxi chuckled and handed the congratulatory gift to Nuwa.

The Witch Clan members below erupted in an uproar once again upon hearing Fuxi's words.

"What! The one getting engaged to Ancestral Witch Houtu is the Demon Emperor Fuxi's nephew?"

"What is going on! How can our Witch Clan's Ancestral Witch get engaged to the Demon Emperor's nephew!"

"..."

The Witch Clan members clamored in dissatisfaction!

The Witch Clan members were already somewhat displeased with Houtu's engagement to Shen Hongfei, an unborn fetus.

They had simply kept their feelings to themselves out of respect for Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches!

Now, to discover that Shen Hongfei was also Demon Emperor Fuxi's nephew naturally ignited their fury!

"Brother! Are you here to genuinely congratulate Hongfei on his engagement, or to cause trouble?"

Seeing the agitated Witch Clan members, Nuwa glared at Fuxi with displeasure and questioned him.

If Fuxi had merely come to congratulate them as Shen Hongfei's uncle, it surely wouldn't have caused so much discontent!

But Fuxi had directly revealed his Demon Clan identity. Nuwa refused to believe he wasn't doing it on purpose!

Nuwa had originally held hope for her brother, but now it seemed he had completely sided with the Demon Clan!

"Fuxi! Leave our Witch Clan immediately, you are not welcome here!"

Dijiang, with a grim expression, ordered Fuxi to leave.

Since Dijiang intended to marry off Houtu to Shen Hongfei, he naturally didn't want Shen Hongfei to have any further ties to the Demon Clan!

If it weren't for Nuwa and Shen Hongfei, Dijiang would have already taken action to subdue Fuxi!
