"Dijiang, Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan! We Sanqing will not involve ourselves in the Witch-Demon Tribulation. Do not come to Buzhou Mountain to provoke us again, or you'll bear the consequences!"
Taishang Laojun's booming Dao voice echoed throughout the Primordial World.
Dijiang did not respond. He understood that, having failed to kill the Sanqing this time, he had missed his chance. There would likely never be another opportunity to kill them.
This was the greatest defeat the Ancestral Witches had suffered since the Witch-Demon war began. Their attack on the Sanqing had even resulted in the death of one of their own. It was a truly devastating loss!
"Gonggong, your Path of Water is all-pervading. Secretly gather Shebishi's fragments of law-spirit, in case they're needed!"
