Xing Tian's Challenge!

"Hmph, is this how the Witch Clan treats its guests? I'm Hongfei's uncle, at least. Can't I even come here for a cup of celebratory wine?"

Fuxi grumbled unhappily.

Although he was the target of everyone's condemnation, Fuxi was not particularly worried.

After all, he was Nuwa's biological elder brother. If the Witch Clan really wanted to harm him, Nuwa would definitely plead for him.

"If you're attending the engagement ceremony as Hongfei's uncle, then of course you're welcome! But if you've come as the Demon Clan's Demon Emperor, then get out of here immediately!"

Dijiang said coldly.

"All right, all right. Then I'll give my gift as Hongfei's uncle!"

Seeing that Dijiang was preparing to blast him away, Fuxi could only helplessly submit.

Before coming to the Witch Clan, Di Jun had ordered him to find out why the Twelve Ancestral Witches were marrying Houtu to Shen Hongfei.

Now that he had not completed his mission, Fuxi could not be driven away in disgrace just like this!

Dijiang glanced coldly at Fuxi and stopped paying attention to him.

Since Fuxi knew how to behave, Dijiang could not chase him away for the sake of Nuwa and Shen Hongfei.

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

Dijiang waved at the agitated members of the Witch Clan below and loudly silenced their discussion.

Although the Witch Clan members were still somewhat dissatisfied, none of them dared to raise another objection out of respect for Dijiang.

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

"If no one objects, then I hereby announce that, under the witness of Father God, Houtu and Shen Hongfei are officially engaged and have become betrothed! Once Shen Hongfei comes of age, we will formally hold the wedding!"

Dijiang announced loudly.

"Wait!"

Just as Dijiang finished speaking, someone suddenly stepped forward from below and shouted.

Dijiang followed the voice and discovered that the person who had called out was actually Xing Tian!

"Xing Tian, what are you trying to do?"

A cold glint flashed through Dijiang's eyes as he said coldly, "Were the lessons I gave you before not severe enough?"

Dijiang had originally thought that, after the lesson they had received in Pangu Hall, the three of them would settle down.

He had not expected Xing Tian to jump out again at this moment!

Under Dijiang's cold gaze, Xing Tian's heart chilled.

However, thinking of Houtu, whom he still needed to "save," Xing Tian braced himself and said, "Chief! According to our Witch Clan's traditions, the groom must defeat all challengers before he can marry! I challenge Shen Hongfei!"

"What! Xing Tian is actually challenging an unborn baby?"

"Our Witch Clan does have such a tradition, but Xing Tian is being far too shameless!"

"..."

Upon hearing Xing Tian's words, the Witch Clan members erupted into an uproar.

The Witch Clan was a race that valued honor. Although Xing Tian's actions conformed to tradition, there was no doubt that they were dishonorable. The numerous Witch Clan members all felt contempt for him!

They might have been dissatisfied with Houtu marrying Shen Hongfei, but they did not approve of Xing Tian's actions either!

"Do you even know what you're saying? You're challenging an unborn baby, and you can actually say that with a straight face!"

Dijiang was nearly angered into laughter. He pointed at Xing Tian and berated him, "Get back there immediately! Don't let others laugh at our Witch Clan!"

The people who had come to observe the ceremony were not limited to members of the Witch Clan. Representatives sent by many affiliated clans were also present.

The one losing face was not merely Xing Tian, but the entire Witch Clan!

"This... this is also our Witch Clan's tradition! If Shen Hongfei cannot defeat every challenger, then he has no right to marry Ancestral Witch Houtu!"

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

"Heh heh, this Witch Clan friend makes a good point! Since it has always been the Witch Clan's tradition, it should naturally be followed..."

Fuxi, who stood beside Nuwa, spoke up in agreement.

"Which side are you on, anyway?"

Hearing this, Nuwa angrily punched Fuxi!

With Fuxi fanning the flames, Dijiang could no longer forcibly drive Xing Tian off the stage. He could only glare at him with a murderous look.

Just as the situation fell into a stalemate, Shen Hongfei, who had remained silent all this time, finally spoke.

"All right! Don't you want to challenge me? I accept!"

Shen Hongfei's voice came from within Nuwa's womb and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

When they heard Shen Hongfei speak, the Witch Clan members present immediately widened their mouths in shock!

"Holy crap! Th-this unborn baby can actually speak!"

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

"The child hasn't even been born yet. How is he supposed to fight Xing Tian?"

"..."

The Witch Clan members widened their eyes in disbelief and could not help discussing it among themselves.

Only a very small number of people throughout the Primordial World knew that Shen Hongfei could speak.

Now that Shen Hongfei had revealed it before everyone, he naturally shocked them all!

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

Aside from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xing Tian's strength was among the very best in the entire Witch Clan!

How could a mere unborn baby like Shen Hongfei face Xing Tian's challenge?

"Hongfei, this man is very powerful. He's already an early-stage Golden Immortal. Are you sure you want to accept his challenge?"

Nuwa transmitted her voice to Shen Hongfei with some concern.

Nuwa had only seen Shen Hongfei ambush and defeat Fuxi. As for his true strength, she really did not know much about it.

"Mother, rest assured. Although he's strong, he's still no match for me!"

Shen Hongfei said confidently.

Only then did Nuwa set her mind at ease.

She knew that Shen Hongfei never boasted. Since he had said this, he surely had a way to deal with Xing Tian.

At this moment, Dijiang also looked solemnly at Shen Hongfei. "Hongfei, are you really sure you want to accept Xing Tian's challenge? If you lose to him, then according to our Witch Clan's rules, your marriage to Houtu will have to be canceled!"

Dijiang had not actually wanted to marry Houtu to Shen Hongfei at first.

However, Shen Hongfei's talent and wisdom had completely won him over. Now, he instead did not want to lose this brother-in-law!

Although Dijiang hated Xing Tian for disrupting the engagement ceremony so much that his teeth itched,

he had to admit that Xing Tian's strength was indeed formidable. Among the younger generation of the Witch Clan, no one could compare with him!

"Rest assured. I'm confident I can defeat any challenger!"

Shen Hongfei said with complete confidence.

"Hmph! I'd like to see how you, an unborn baby, plan to defeat me!"

After hearing Shen Hongfei's words, Xing Tian spoke with disdain.

Since both sides had already decided to fight, Dijiang could no longer stop them.

He could only have Nuwa and Xing Tian ascend the sacrificial platform and fight beneath the witness of Father God Pangu!
