The Elephant Demon Group was greatly alarmed, then immediately fell into chaos, scattering in all directions.
A group of Witch Clan members immediately wanted to step forward to harvest heads.
But Hou Yi stopped them.
The crowd didn't understand his intent, but still halted their actions.
Hou Yi once again took out his Divine Arrows, this time two arrows, aimed with the same precision, then fired both at once!
But this time it wasn't as exaggerated as one arrow killing five.
After all, the fleeing Elephant Demon Group wasn't so easy to aim at.
Still, he achieved the astonishing feat of one arrow killing three, and two arrows killing six!
Hou Yi pressed on without pause, continuously increasing the Divine Arrows to three, four, five, six...
But when he reached nine arrows, he stopped adding more.
Shooting nine arrows simultaneously had already reached the limit of Hou Yi's current ability.
A rare look of disappointment appeared on Hou Yi's face.
What a pity—he still couldn't break through to ten arrows.
Even nine arrows had already made Hou Yi's tiger's mouth ache faintly.
It wasn't that Hou Yi didn't want to try shooting ten arrows at once; it was just that every previous attempt had ended in failure.
And now, the priority was to kill the demon group, leaving no time for him to experiment.
On average, each of Hou Yi's arrows could kill three to four Elephant Demons.
Nearly two hundred Elephant Demons had already died under Hou Yi's Divine Arrows in the blink of an eye.
As for the rest, they didn't escape Hou Yi's grasp either. Though he couldn't achieve ten arrows at once, his nine arrows each time still killed plenty of demons.
Soon, all the demons were completely wiped out.
And Hou Yi was somewhat exhausted, so he had the other members of the Witch Clan squad drag the Elephant Demon corpses back.
As one Golden Immortal Realm Witch Clan member hoisted an Elephant Demon corpse, he didn't notice a small Carrion Worm perched on it.
The Carrion Worm followed the Elephant Demon corpse and flew onto the Golden Immortal Witch's head.
The Golden Immortal Witch felt an itch on his head but merely scratched it and paid no further attention.
On the way back to the Hou Tu Tribe, many Witch Clan members gathered together, chatting about everything under the sun.
Among them, one Witch suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Hou Yi, are you about to break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak now?"
Hou Yi nodded.
As a top Great Witch under the Witch Clan, he had indeed reached the late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal and would soon break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak.
"This is also inseparable from the careful guidance of Ancestral Witch Hou Tu."
Hou Yi said this sincerely.
He was truly grateful to Ancestral Witch Hou Tu.
Ancestral Witch Hou Tu was not only the easiest to get along with among the Ancestral Witches but also trusted him deeply, entrusting almost all matters of the Hou Tu Tribe to his handling.
Moreover, she often gave him guidance, saving him many detours.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risen to become one of the batch of Great Witches with the strongest combat power and highest status in the Witch Clan, second only to the Ancestral Witches.
The Witch who had just spoken then said.
"If Great Witch Hou Yi can take another step forward in the future, don't forget us brothers!"
Hou Yi laughed upon hearing this. "Of course!"
Hou Yi only thought the "step forward" the Witch mentioned referred to a breakthrough in cultivation, so after laughing and saying that, he couldn't help but feel a bit of worry.
"But taking another step isn't that easy. Right now, the Ancestral Witches are in the Pangu Temple trying to break through their cultivation. If they don't succeed, how would we know the next step to take?"
It could be said that among the Witch Clan, the Ancestral Witches were feeling their way across the river like stepping stones. The rest of the Witch Clan were all feeling their way across the Ancestral Witches.
The Ancestral Witches were their guides.
At these words, many of the Witch Clan present couldn't help but feel a bit downcast.
They all knew well that the current situation of the Witch Clan was far worse than before the Second Sermon.
Before the Second Sermon, there were no Quasi-Sages in the Primordial Wilderness, and the Witch Clan had many Great Luo Golden Immortals, enough to dominate the Primordial Wilderness.
But now Quasi-Sages were popping up one after another, and the Witch Clan's status had greatly declined.
The Ancestral Witches had gone into seclusion shortly before the Second Sermon began, and now several thousand years had passed, yet they still hadn't emerged.
"It's fine, maybe the Ancestral Witches will break through soon. Then our Witch Clan will naturally get better!"
The Ancestral Witches were the backbone of their Witch Clan.
Hou Yi forced a faint smile upon hearing this. "I hope Great God Pangu blesses the Ancestral Witches."
In an unnoticed corner, the Carrion Worm atop the Golden Immortal Witch's head had listened to the entire conversation, its eyes glowing with an abnormal red light.
Within the Sun Star, the words of the many Witches were transmitted verbatim to the upper echelons of the Demon Race.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was overjoyed.
"Big Brother, if what these Witches say is true, then the Twelve Ancestral Witches likely haven't broken through to Quasi-Sage yet. This is our Demon Race's opportunity!"
Given how boastful the Witch Clan was, if they had already reached Quasi-Sage, they would have been striding across the Primordial Wilderness long ago.
Di Jun did not agree outright. Instead, he asked the others.
"Xi Emperor, earlier you used the Hetu Luoshu to divine what the outcome would be if the Demon Race and Witch Clan went to war."
Ever since recruiting Fuxi into the Demon Race, Di Jun and Fuxi had discovered by chance that Fuxi possessed considerable talent in the art of divination.
Thus, Di Jun had entrusted the Hetu Luoshu to him for making calculations.
Fuxi stepped forward and said, "It may be because the Witch Clan's fortune is currently at its peak, but the divination did not yield a very clear indication."
Di Jun frowned slightly.
The Demon Race was still in its infancy and could not afford too many losses.
If this war did not bring enough benefits, Di Jun was reluctant to make a move.
"However..." Fuxi changed his tone and continued, "One of the results from the divination was that the Witch Clan will face a great calamity!"
These words made everyone present's eyes light up.
If they, the Demon Race, attacked the Witch Clan, wouldn't that be precisely the Witch Clan's great calamity?
A delighted expression appeared on Di Jun's face. "Excellent! Wa Emperor, how goes the Demon Race's troop muster now?"
To move against the Witch Clan, a large number of Demon Race soldiers would naturally be needed.
Although many demons had been slaughtered by the Witch Clan across the Primordial Wilderness continent, their race was still vast.
Once consolidated, they would form an army not to be underestimated!
Nüwa also replied, "The tally is complete! At the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, our Demon Race does not have many—about three thousand. At the Golden Immortal level, there are one hundred and twenty thousand. At the Profound Immortal level, twenty-nine million..."
Those above the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level were already considered high-ranking members of the Demon Race and were all present here for the discussion.
As for beings below the Profound Immortal level, though their numbers could reach hundreds of millions or even billions, their strength was too weak and could only serve as cannon fodder.
Without them even realizing it, the Demon Race had already assembled a truly massive force!
"Excellent! Issue the order: have the entire Demon Race prepare for war. Make sure no news leaks out. This Emperor will catch the Witch Clan off guard!"
Everyone present was filled with fervor.
After being oppressed by the Witch Clan for countless years, they could finally demand justice from them!
A campaign aimed at the Witch Clan was being secretly set in motion.
Yet within the Pangu Temple, all remained calm and tranquil, utterly unimaginative of the undercurrents surging beneath such placid waters.
One more chapter coming a little late, sorry.
