Xing Tian's Challenge!

"Hmph, is this how your Witch Clan treats guests? I'm Hongfei's uncle, after all. Can't I even come for a sip of wedding wine?"

Fuxi grumbled indignantly.

Despite facing widespread condemnation, Fuxi wasn't overly concerned.

After all, he was Nuwa's elder brother. If the Witch Clan truly intended to harm him, Nuwa would surely intercede on his behalf.

"If you've come as Hongfei's uncle to attend the engagement ceremony, you are most welcome! But if you've come as the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, then get out of here immediately!"

Dijiang said coldly.

"Alright, alright. Then I'll come as Hongfei's uncle to present a gift!"

Seeing that Dijiang was about to force him out, Fuxi could only yield in frustration.

Before coming to the Witch Clan, Di Jun had ordered him to thoroughly investigate the reason why the twelve Ancestral Witches were marrying Houtu to Shen Hongfei.

Now that his mission was incomplete, Fuxi couldn't be chased away so ignominiously!

Dijiang cast a cold glance at Fuxi and then ignored him.

Since Fuxi was being sensible, and for the sake of Nuwa and Shen Hongfei, Dijiang couldn't very well drive him away.

"Alright! Although Fuxi has joined the Demon Clan, this has nothing to do with Shen Hongfei. The engagement ceremony will continue!"

Dijiang waved his hand at the still agitated Witch Clan members below, loudly calling a halt to their murmuring.

Although the Witch Clan members were still somewhat dissatisfied, they dared not voice any further objections out of respect for Dijiang's authority.

As the ceremony proceeded, the engagement quickly reached its final step.

"If there are no objections, then I declare, under the witness of Father God, that Houtu and Shen Hongfei are officially engaged and become fiancés! Once Shen Hongfei comes of age, the wedding will be formally held!"

Dijiang announced loudly.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Dijiang finished speaking, someone from below suddenly stood up and shouted.

Dijiang looked towards the source of the voice and saw that the person shouting was Xing Tian!

"Xing Tian, what do you think you're doing!"

A cold glint flashed in Dijiang's eyes as he said sternly, "Was the lesson I taught you before not severe enough?"

Dijiang had originally thought that after the lesson in Pangu Hall, Xing Tian and the other two would behave themselves.

He hadn't expected him to jump out again at this moment!

Seeing Dijiang's cold gaze, Xing Tian felt a chill in his heart.

However, thinking of Houtu, who he needed to "save," Xing Tian braced himself and said, "Leader! According to our Witch Clan's tradition, the groom must defeat all challengers before he can be married! I wish to challenge Shen Hongfei now!"

"What! Xing Tian wants to challenge an unborn fetus?"

"Although our Witch Clan does have such a tradition, Xing Tian's actions are utterly shameless!"

"..."

Hearing Xing Tian's words, the Witch Clan members erupted in an uproar.

The Witch Clan was a race that valued honor. While Xing Tian's actions were in line with tradition, they were undoubtedly not honorable, and many Witch Clan members felt disdain for it!

Even if they were dissatisfied with Houtu marrying Shen Hongfei, they did not approve of Xing Tian's actions!

"Do you know what you're saying? Challenging an unborn child, you can actually say such a thing!"

Dijiang was almost amused to the point of anger. He pointed at Xing Tian and reprimanded him, "Get back immediately and don't let people laugh at our Witch Clan!"

Not only Witch Clan members were present to witness the ceremony, but also representatives from many affiliated clans.

Xing Tian wasn't just losing face for himself, but for the entire Witch Clan!

"This... this is also our Witch Clan's tradition! If Shen Hongfei cannot defeat all challengers, then he is not qualified to marry Ancestral Witch Houtu!"

Xing Tian's face turned red from the scolding, but he gritted his teeth and insisted.

"Heh heh, this friend from the Witch Clan speaks sense! Since it's always been the tradition of the Witch Clan, it should be upheld..."

Fuxi, standing beside Nuwa, chimed in with his agreement.

"Who exactly are you on the side of!"

Hearing Fuxi's words, Nuwa couldn't help but punch Fuxi angrily!

With Fuxi fanning the flames, Dijiang could no longer forcefully remove Xing Tian, and could only stare at him with murderous intent!

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Shen Hongfei, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"Fine! You want to challenge me? I accept!"

Shen Hongfei's voice, emanating from within Nuwa's womb, clearly reached everyone present.

Hearing Shen Hongfei's voice, the Witch Clan members present were stunned into silence, their mouths agape!

"Holy cow! This... this unborn fetus can actually speak!"

"How is that possible? He can actually speak! And he accepted Xing Tian's challenge?"

"This child isn't even born yet, how can he fight Xing Tian?"

"……"

The Witch Clan members widened their eyes in disbelief, unable to refrain from murmuring amongst themselves.

Only a very few people in the entire Primordial Era knew that Shen Hongfei could speak.

Now that Shen Hongfei had revealed it in public, it naturally shocked everyone!

What they found even more unimaginable was that Shen Hongfei had actually accepted Xing Tian's challenge!

If you don't count the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xing Tian's strength was second to none within the entire Witch Clan!

How could Shen Hongfei, merely a fetus, possibly deal with Xing Tian's challenge?

"Hongfei, this person's strength is immense, he's already a cultivator at the early Golden Immortal stage. Are you sure you want to accept his challenge?"

Nuwa asked Shen Hongfei through a telepathic message, a hint of worry in her voice.

Nuwa had only ever seen Shen Hongfei ambush and incapacitate Fuxi. As for his true strength, Nuwa was actually not very clear.

"Don't worry, Mother. Although this person is strong, he's still no match for me!"

Shen Hongfei said confidently.

Hearing Shen Hongfei's words, Nuwa's heart finally relaxed.

She knew Shen Hongfei never bragged. Since he said it, he must have a way to deal with Xing Tian.

At this moment, Dijiang also looked at Shen Hongfei with a serious expression: "Hongfei, have you truly decided to accept Xing Tian's challenge? If you lose to him, then according to our Witch Clan's rules, your marriage with Houtu will have to be canceled!"

Dijiang originally didn't want to marry Houtu to Shen Hongfei.

However, the talent and wisdom Shen Hongfei had displayed had completely convinced him. Now, he was reluctant to lose this potential brother-in-law!

Although Dijiang itched to grind his teeth at Xing Tian for disrupting this engagement ceremony!

Dijiang had to admit that Xing Tian's strength was indeed formidable, unmatched among the younger generation of the Witch Clan!

"Don't worry, I am confident I can defeat all challengers!"

Shen Hongfei said full of confidence.

"Hmph! I'd like to see how you, a fetus who hasn't even been born, can defeat me!"

Xing Tian said with disdain upon hearing Shen Hongfei's words.

Since both sides had already decided to fight, Dijiang could not stop them.

He could only allow Nuwa and Xing Tian to ascend the sacrificial altar and conduct the duel under the witness of Father God Pangu!
