The border Central Region of Primordial Era and Northern Domain of the Primordial Wilderness was where the Fierce Beast Calamity once took place.

A deep pit left behind after the ferocious beast army and the central gods fought.

Over time, this place has evolved into a vast expanse of lakes and marshes.

It was only because of the ferocity of the battle that year that the Grievance Fiend Qi permeated the entire land.

This is why, even after so many tens of thousands of years, the spiritual energy here remains weak and the immortals do not flourish.

This place is the gateway where the Witch Clan escaped from the Central Primordial Era and entered the Northern Domain.

At this moment, Luo Qing had already arrived at this ancient battlefield site near the edge of the Northern Domain, ahead of the Witch Clan.

The Kunlun Mirror and the Yin-Yang Heaven-Transforming Mirror reflected the entire battlefield, transforming it into a massive Spatial Cage.

Luo Qing, wielding the Witch-Slaying Sword and the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, resided atop the clouds.

Standing at the entrance to the Northern Domain, he looked towards his friends from the Witch Clan who were about to arrive from afar.

Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and other Ancestral Witch fled from the Buzhou Mountain area.

The demon race was hot on their heels, giving the Ancestral Witch no chance to catch their breath.

Houtu, who has suffered severe injuries, has not yet received effective treatment and remains in a deep slumber.

Following the loss of combat power by Zhurong and Xuan Ming.

Tian Wu and Qiang Liang were also completely stripped of their strength during the repeated pursuit by the demon race.

Even the Ancestral Witch still had fighting power, such as Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, were all injured.

Sixty percent of his strength has been lost.

The entire Witch Clan, including the Ancestral Witch, is already at its last gasp.

Having briefly shaken off the demon race pursuers, they were about to leave the Central Primordial Era and enter the Northern Domain.

Since the Fierce Beast Calamity, the Northern Primordial Territory has been a place rarely visited by immortals and gods.

The entire region was filled with poisonous miasma, which caused even gods and demons to avoid it at all costs.

Once they enter the Northern Domain, shrouded in Resentful Sha and malevolent energy, the Witch Clan who have converted to physical cultivation will be like fish entering the sea.

They completely escaped the pursuit of the demon race.

However, when Di Jiang and other Ancestral Witch, along with the Witch God Palace, arrived at the last checkpoint leading into the Northern Domain...

The flight speed immediately dropped drastically, and the expressions of Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witch changed drastically.

The space-time here was sealed off in advance using Divine Treasure.

Immediately afterwards Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin were about to use the power of the Great Dao to break the spatial seal of this place.

An unexpected enemy appeared before them.

This immediately put Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin on high alert, causing them to halt their efforts to lift the seal.

"Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and a few other Ancestral Witch friends, you all had a great time escaping, making it quite a struggle for me to catch you!"

As a relaxed voice rang out, Luo Qing appeared before Di Jiang and the others.

"Luo Qing!"

Upon seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, Di Jiang almost ground his teeth to powder and uttered the name Luo Qing.

The Ancestral Witch, including Zhu Jiuyin, were initially startled, but were subsequently filled with shock and anger.

The Witch Clan is in this predicament, like stray dogs, being hunted down by the Demon Clan, all thanks to Luo Qing.

If looks could kill, Luo Qing would have been burned to ashes by now, fueled by that burning, angry gaze.

The moment Luo Qing appeared, the space-time confinement of this place was sealed off once again.

Di Jiang immediately guessed what Luo Qing was planning to do.

They simply wanted to take advantage of the Witch Clan's misfortune.

Di Jiang couldn't help but be furious with Luo Qing and said:

"Luo Qing, do you still dare to show your face before us? Are you sure you want to stop us from retreating into the Northern Domain?"

Aren't you afraid we'll self-destruct our Ancestral Witch forms and perish together with you?

The previous Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array had failed to subdue Luo Qing.

Now, all the Ancestral Witch are either injured or crippled.

It's not that they can't do anything about Luo Qing.

The only remaining threat to Luo Qing is that the Ancestral Witch could drag Luo Qing into a self-destruction, seeking mutual destruction.

Hearing the threatening tone in Di Jiang's words.

Luo Qing smiled and said:

"Hey! Let's die together?"

Di Jiang, surely that's not the case!

As he spoke, Luo Qing Witch-Slaying Sword downwards.

Instantly, a deep, abyss-like rift was cleaved open in the earth.

"Even if all of you Ancestral Witch were to self-destruct together..."

Believe me, all of you, I will remain safe and sound.

He wielded two treasures Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd and the Witch-Slaying Sword.

Luo Qing wasn't afraid of a group of Ancestral Witch getting close to him and then self-destructing to take them down with them.

Since no one could get close to him, the threat of self-destruction was naturally greatly reduced.

Seeing Luo Qing reveal the Witch-Slaying Sword, which had once terrified the Ancestral Witch.

Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the others immediately felt a chill in their hearts; most of their anger was extinguished.

If Luo Qing were to really go on a killing spree, given the current state of injury and disability among the Ancestral Witch, it would be very difficult for them to stop him.

They were like lambs to the slaughter.

At this moment, having calmed down, Zhu Jiuyin crossed the Di Jiang and arrived opposite Luo Qing Luo Qing, gazing at him from afar.

"Fellow Luo Qing, you are blocking our way."

"Are you just trying to humiliate us before killing us by spouting all this nonsense?"

"Fellow Luo Qing, why don't you state your purpose? What will it take for you to let my Witch Clan cross this land?"

Luo Qing stroked the smooth, silky Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd in his hand, a playful smile on his face, as he watched Zhu Jiuyin walk out.

"It seems there are still some sensible people among the Witch Clan!"

The reason Luo Qing intercepted the Witch Clan Witch Clan here was certainly not because he had nothing better to do than seek revenge or ridicule them.

"Since Zhu Jiuyin asked, I'll just answer directly!"

At that moment, Luo Qing's eyes sharpened instantly.

Like a sharp sword, it sent a chill down the Witch Body such as Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin.

Luo Qing said, "Let's leave aside our past grievances for now."

"Take this time for example, the fact that you Ten Ancestral Witches wanted to travel all the way to Kunlun to besiege and kill me was because you had ill intentions first."

"If I die, there's nothing to say, but since you've lost, we need to talk about compensation."

"I don't ask for much compensation; just hand over the methods by which your Ancestral Witch Method of Proving the Dao, from Daluo Golden Immortal to Primordial Chaos Saint."

When Luo Qing talked about the grudges and mistakes between the two sides, Di Jiang and the others were unmoved.

At this point, it's pointless to discuss who was right and who was wrong.

In the Primordial Wilderness, only the strong are respected; whoever is strong is right.

Upon hearing Luo Qing demand compensation, Di Jiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone assumed that Luo Qing wanted to extort a few Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qing's opening remarks concerned the very lifeblood of the Ancestral Witch: their Ancestral Witch Method of Proving the Dao.

Luo Qing had barely finished speaking.

"Impossible!" The three words burst from Gonggong's mouth.

They were still wondering about Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, among the items Luo Qing had requested.

Upon hearing Gonggong utter the three words "impossible,"

Then, seeing a flash of killing intent in Luo Qing's eyes, he was immediately startled.

Both of them simultaneously thought to themselves, "This is bad."

Luo Qing, Gonggong face filled with murderous intent, swung the Witch-Slaying Sword at Gonggong.

No one expected that Luo Qing would suddenly make a move when they were having a good conversation.

Even Gonggong, who was already wary of Luo Qing, was too badly injured to react to Luo Qing's sudden sword strike.

"Stop!"

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin shouted, attempting to intercept the sword.

Suddenly, he felt the surrounding space freeze instantly, and his figure paused for a moment.

The best opportunity to rescue Gonggong was missed.

They watched helplessly as the Witch-Slaying Sword severed Gonggong's head with a Gonggong stroke.
