Jieyin Rejected Outside Zixiao Palace! Jiu Ying, Gui Che Seek to Destroy Hou Yi

Within the Witch Tribe encampment!

Hou Yi slowly raised his head, gazing toward the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.

A strikingly beautiful woman hurried forward a few steps and said softly, "Husband has received such astonishing rewards—why still furrow your brow?"

"The rewards are astonishing, but it's only eighth place."

"With my strength, among the many Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Witch Tribe, I should rank in the top three!"

"As it stands now, my combat power is still lacking."

Hou Yi spoke flatly, his words carrying dissatisfaction with his ranking and perhaps also with his own strength.

Yet he had no idea how many beings in Hong Huang were filled with envy and jealousy over the rewards he had obtained.

Especially within the Demon Race, several Demon Gods had gathered together.

"What skill does that minor Great Witch have, that two Great Witches have stepped into the top ten of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Combat Power Ranking?"

"Jiu Ying speaks truly. The combat power of Kua Fu and Hou Yi cannot possibly be that strong. Why don't we go test the Witch Tribe?"

Hearing Jiu Ying's words, Gui Che let out a series of sinister laughs, as if tempting Jiu Ying to go to the Witch Tribe together and eliminate Hou Yi and Kua Fu ahead of time!

This made Jiu Ying's heart stir. All nine of his heads turned simultaneously toward another Demon God, Ying Zhao.

"Gui Che, Jiu Ying, do not bring disaster upon the Demon Race."

"Our Emperor is currently plotting against the Immortal Court. The Witch Tribe's strength is not to be underestimated. Without the Emperor's command, we must not act rashly."

Ying Zhao's eyes flickered. Not only did he reject Gui Che's proposal, but he even tried to dissuade both of them.

This greatly displeased Jiu Ying and Gui Che. Ignoring Ying Zhao, their figures flickered and they flew out of the Demon Race's territory.

Seeing this, Ying Zhao hurried toward the Demon God Palace to report the matter of Jiu Ying and Gui Che to Di Jun and Tai Yi.

"Hahaha!"

"Our Demon Race's gods should have this spirit. What are two Witch Tribe Great Witches? Kill them, and be done with it!"

"With Jiu Ying and Gui Che's strength, even without joining forces, they can easily finish those two Great Witches."

"Let the Myriad Races of Hong Huang witness the supreme might of our Demon Race!"

Tai Yi greatly admired Jiu Ying and Gui Che's scheme.

He was eager to know—if they eliminated Hou Yi and Kua Fu before the challenge matches, would the rewards for those ranked on the Combat Power Ranking then belong to the Demon Race?

And if this succeeded, all of Hong Huang would know the Demon Race's unmatched authority.

"Very well, then. Let them act."

"Bai Ze, you go with Ji Meng and Ying Zhao. After Jiu Ying and Gui Che kill Hou Yi and Kua Fu, be ready to receive them."

Di Jun nodded slightly. He and Tai Yi's original intent was to contend for supremacy over Hong Huang.

They were already plotting how to deal with the Immortal Court, which had always been at odds with the Demon Race. Testing the Witch Tribe on the side would do no harm.

After all, once the Immortal Court was dealt with, the Witch Tribe would be their next target.

Above Kunlun Mountain!

Laozi seemed to sense something. He swept a glance toward the Witch Tribe's direction and said calmly, "It seems the Witch and Demon Races may well come to conflict over this Great Luo Golden Immortal Cultivation and Combat Power Ranking."

"Big Brother means that the Witch and Demon people will strike before the arena challenges?"

"Exactly. Though I wonder if such an act would incur punishment from the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking."

"Big Brother, Little Brother thinks their conflict is a good thing. If they kill a ranked combatant and suffer no penalty, then This Venerable will act and eliminate all ranked beings standing before the disciples of the Mystic Gate."

Yuanshi spoke coldly, a trace of Sha Qi surfacing around him.

When the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking had appeared, he had already considered killing those who were not Mystic Gate disciples. But he feared the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking would impose punishment and affect the rewards for the Chan Sect's ranked disciples.

Now, if the Witch and Demon Races started a small-scale conflict, it would serve as a test for him in advance.

In truth, Yuanshi was not alone in this thinking. Many great powers also hoped that Jiu Ying and Gui Che would run the experiment for them.

Outside the Three Pure Ones Hall, where the disciples of the Sect of Interception had gathered!

Tongtian revealed a trace of coldness as he looked toward the Witch Tribe.

Though they could not deduce the heavenly secrets disrupted by the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, they could clearly perceive the movements of Jiu Ying and Gui Che.

Unfortunately, the ranking for the Great Luo Golden Immortal Cultivation and Combat Power Ranking had already closed.

Even if Yunxiao and the others had broken through, they had no chance to compete with those Great Luo Golden Immortals this time.

At this moment, outside the Zixiao Palace in Chaos!

Jieyin's figure slowly descended. He too could not help turning his head to glance at Hong Huang, a glint of sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he had conceived some scheme.

After a few breaths, he bowed toward the tightly shut gates of Zixiao Palace. "Master, your disciple Jieyin has come to pay respects."

"For what matter?"

Hongjun's voice drifted out slowly, though the gates of Zixiao Palace did not open.

"Master, my Junior Brother Zhunti has been suppressed above the Thirty-Three Heavens for a long time. I beg you to intervene and rescue him."

Jieyin quickly spoke, stating his purpose—he truly did not wish to see Zhunti remain suppressed above the Thirty-Three Heavens any longer.

But before he could finish his words, a faint trace of Heavenly Dao authority emerged within Zixiao Palace.

This caused Jieyin's mind to tremble, and he dared not continue speaking.

"Zhunti is fated to endure this tribulation. Ten thousand years is hardly unacceptable."

"Let this matter rest here. Do not bring it up again in the future."

After a full ten breaths or more, Hongjun's voice rang out once more.

Yet from start to finish, there was no intention of opening the door to let Jieyin step inside.

This caused Jieyin's expression to stiffen slightly, a complex look flickering in his eyes.

Then, he bowed once more toward Zixiao Palace, turned, and sped swiftly back toward Hong Huang.

Within Zixiao Palace, Hongjun sat high upon the grand hall, a trace of icy coldness spreading across his face.

The Heavenly Dao authority around him slowly receded, as if the response just now had been the decision of the Heavenly Dao Will itself.

In the center of Hong Huang, within the tribe of the Great Witch Hou Yi!

Hou Yi was waiting for the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking to update again, eager to see whose combat power ranked ahead of his own.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly as he sensed two astonishing auras rapidly approaching his tribe.

"Who comes? State your names!"

"Or do not blame me if my arrow shows no mercy!"

Hou Yi let out a cold shout, reaching out to grasp the bow at his side as he gazed toward the direction of those two formidable auras.

"Hmph!"

"I am the Demon God Jiu Ying of the Demon Race!"

"I am the Demon God Gui Che of the Demon Race!"

"We have come to see just what ability you, this Great Witch of the Witch Race, possess, to have claimed the eighth place on the Cultivation and Combat Power Ranking!"

As his words fell, Jiu Ying stepped forward, ready to launch an attack at Hou Yi.

But at that moment, Gui Che spread both wings, all ten of his heads bursting into laughter, "Brother Jiu Ying, do not be hasty. This Hou Yi might yet willingly hand over the rewards from his ranking on the combat power list to us!"

"Let us have a little chat with him first..."

"Whoosh!"

Before Gui Che's words had even faded, an arrow radiating terrifying power shot forth from Hou Yi's hand, landing instantly before Gui Che.
