Although Nuwa was somewhat displeased with Fuxi's actions, she harbored no deep suspicions towards her elder brother.
So, upon hearing Fuxi's question, she directly replied, "The Witch Clan was previously persecuted by the Demon Clan. Hongfei and I were invited by Houtu to the Witch Clan to help them resolve this issue!"
Nuwa didn't elaborate, but Fuxi was inwardly shocked: "What! It was that scoundrel Shen Hongfei who helped the Witch Clan resolve their troubles? Does this mean that the reason Saint Hongjun intervened was Shen Hongfei's idea?"
Fuxi knew very well that Di Jun had just suffered a great loss under Hongjun's hand, nearly perishing!
If Di Jun knew that inviting Saint Hongjun was Shen Hongfei's idea, he would hate Shen Hongfei to the bone!
"Cough, cough! Mother, Uncle is currently with the Demon Clan. Don't discuss Witch Clan matters with him!"
Shen Hongfei coughed twice, interrupting Nuwa's words.
"Uh..."
Nuwa only then remembered and quickly cautioned Fuxi, "What I just told you, please don't tell the Demon Clan, or they might act against Hongfei!"
"Don't worry, sister, I won't say a word. After all, we are family!"
Fuxi vowed sincerely!
The grand sacrifice of the Witch Clan lasted for three days. Only after three days did the members of the Witch Clan disperse one by one and return to their respective tribes.
After bidding farewell to Nuwa, Fuxi also left the Witch Clan and returned to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court!
Upon returning to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, Fuxi was immediately summoned by Di Jun.
"How did it go! Were the gifts delivered? What is the Witch Clan's attitude towards Shen Hongfei now?"
Upon seeing Fuxi, Di Jun eagerly inquired.
The Demon Clan had truly spared no expense in their scheme to sow discord between Shen Hongfei and the Witch Clan.
Not only did they give away an Innate Spiritual Treasure, but they also offered two Innate Spiritual Fruits.
Therefore, Di Jun desperately wanted to know the effect of this divisive plan!
"Uh, I presented the gifts to my nephew in the name of the Demon Clan! The other members of the Witch Clan indeed became suspicious because of it, and they were also unhappy about Houtu marrying him..."
Fuxi recounted the events, embellishing the truth as he told it to Di Jun.
"Good! It seems the gifts weren't wasted!"
Di Jun's face lit up with joy, but then he frowned and asked, "What about the Twelve Ancestral Witches? Have they also become suspicious of Shen Hongfei?"
What Di Jun cared about most, of course, was the Twelve Ancestral Witches' opinion of Shen Hongfei.
As long as they harbored suspicions towards Shen Hongfei, they would not be able to unite, and his divisive plan would be successful!
"This..."
Hearing Di Jun's question, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Fuxi's forehead, and he stammered, unable to speak.
"What? Did the Twelve Ancestral Witches not suspect Shen Hongfei's relationship with our Demon Clan?"
Di Jun's expression darkened, and he asked with some displeasure.
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches did not suspect Shen Hongfei. It was the ordinary Witch Clan members who caused a commotion! Dijiang even went to great lengths to protect Shen Hongfei..."
Fuxi shook his head and could only tell the truth.
"How could this be? If the Twelve Ancestral Witches have no suspicion of Shen Hongfei, and only ordinary Witch Clan members are suspicious, what's the point?"
Di Jun stared coldly at Fuxi and questioned, "Were all the gifts our Demon Clan prepared delivered in vain?"
To sow discord between Shen Hongfei and the Witch Clan, their Demon Clan had given away an Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Although the Treasure Gathering Golden Basin was an auxiliary Spiritual Treasure and not a combat one, its value was still immeasurable!
Now that the objective had not been achieved, Di Jun was naturally heartbroken!
"This, this... the reason the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not suspect Shen Hongfei, I believe it has to do with Shen Hongfei resolving a major problem for the Witch Clan!"
Under Di Jun's almost murderous gaze, Fuxi, trembling, recounted what Nuwa had told him earlier.
Although Fuxi had promised Nuwa not to reveal this matter to the Demon Clan, he had no choice but to tell the truth to protect himself at this moment.
After all, the Demon Clan had just lost an Innate Spiritual Treasure for nothing!
Fuxi knew that if he didn't provide Di Jun with a satisfactory answer, Di Jun would never let him off easily!
"Good! I knew Saint Hongjun never interfered in the disputes of the Primordial Era, so it turns out Shen Hongfei proposed inviting the Saint to intervene in the matter between our Demon Clan and the Witch Clan!"
After hearing Fuxi's words, Di Jun was instantly enraged, almost exploding with anger!
Di Jun recalled the time when he had nearly turned into dust from heavenly tribulation due to his disrespect towards Hongjun!
That was the closest Di Jun had ever been to death, and he had been utterly terrified!
Even now, recalling that scene, Di Jun couldn't help but shudder!
Di Jun dared not resent Saint Hongjun, but he absolutely hated Shen Hongfei, who had proposed inviting Hongjun!
"Boom!"
An incredibly terrifying demonic energy erupted from Di Jun, instantly sweeping across the entire Heavenly Court!
The Demon Clan members within the Heavenly Court felt the terrifying aura radiating from Di Jun, and they immediately began to tremble!
Fuxi, who was closest to Di Jun, turned pale at this moment, almost collapsing to the ground.
"Shen Hongfei, you brat, if I don't kill you, I swear I'm no demon!"
Di Jun said through gritted teeth, full of hatred.
The Witch Clan.
"Achoo!"
Shen Hongfei, who was sleeping with his eyes closed within Nuwa's womb, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.
"Who's thinking of me?"
Shen Hongfei opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
Just now, while sleeping, Shen Hongfei felt a surge of immense malice directed at him, instantly waking him from his slumber!
At Shen Hongfei's level of power, he could already sense malice from others in the unseen realms.
Therefore, Shen Hongfei did not believe that the sensation he just experienced was a hallucination.
"It's a shame I haven't learned the Way of Deduction, nor do I possess any Spiritual Treasures skilled in divination like the River Map and Luo Book. Otherwise, I could know who bore such deep malice towards me!"
Shen Hongfei thought to himself.
However, Shen Hongfei's eyes lit up again immediately: "That's right! It's time for me to sign in again!"
Shen Hongfei's system allowed him to sign in once every period, and the more special the location, the more generous the rewards!
The reason Shen Hongfei had lingered after his engagement with Houtu, and why he kept Nuwa residing in the Pangu Hall, was to wait for the sign-in system's cooldown to pass and complete a sign-in here!
If he had left earlier, he wouldn't know when he would get another chance to enter the Pangu Hall, the core sacred ground of the Witch Clan!
"System, come out!"
Shen Hongfei excitedly called out to the system.
