Seeing the Witch Clan's expression, Yuanshi's eyes turned cold:
" Di Jiang, everything I have said is true."
" Xuandu and the Human Race have become a major threat to the Witch Clan. If they are not eliminated now, the consequences will be endless."
"As for the Tongtian Wrath... the Witch Clan possesses the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array, which can summon the Pangu Phantom. What is there to fear from the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?"
He paused, then continued:
"If the Witch Clan makes a move, I can secretly prevent the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array from operating at full power, creating an opportunity for the Witch Clan."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
How dare the Yuanshi Tianzun make such a promise?
During a great calamity, the secrets of Heavenly Secret are in disarray, Karma Entanglement. Even Sage must be extremely cautious to avoid being tainted by too much Calamity Qi, which could affect their own Dao Path.
But in order to sever the foundation between Xuandu and the Human Race, Yuanshi was willing to risk the Karma Backlash by secretly restraining the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, creating an opportunity for the Witch Clan?
This sincerity is almost too alarming.
Di Jiang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Great Axe Phantom trembled slightly on his shoulder.
My heart fluttered.
He was indeed tempted.
Xuandu Attain Zenith Heaven Hunyuan, and martial arts have become an unstoppable force, with the Human Race Rises imminent.
If, as Yuanshi said, Human Race Blood has a restraining effect on the Witch Clan, then the day the Human Race grows stronger will be the day the Witch Clan is controlled.
The great cataclysm is about to begin, and a war between the liches and demons is inevitable. Any unforeseen event could affect the final outcome.
If, while Xuandu's realm is still unstable and the Human Race's foundation is still shallow, they can seize the opportunity to overturn the East Sea Coast and sever the Martial Dao Inheritance, the Witch Clan's chances of winning in the Great Tribulation will greatly increase.
not to mention...
Yuanshi also promised to secretly restrain the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array.
The demon race's greatest reliance is the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array. If this array cannot be fully activated, the Pangu Phantom summoned by the Witch Clan's Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array will have an absolute advantage!
At that time, not only will the potential threat of the Human Race be eliminated, but the initiative will also be gained in the decisive battle against the demon race.
Kill two birds with one stone!
"Big brother..."
Flames flickered in Zhu Rong's eyes. He licked his lips and whispered:
"Although that old bastard Yuanshi is annoying, what he said... is not untrue."
Gong Gong by the Water Law, sneered:
" Human Race ants, how dare you contend with my Witch Clan? Let's wipe them out as soon as possible to avoid future trouble."
The Ancestral Witch, including Ju Mang, Ru Shou, and Xuan Ming, also displayed different expressions, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
Yuanshi Tianzun stood amidst the Jade Purity Immortal Light, his expression calm, yet a barely perceptible hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
He knows the Witch Clan too well.
These barbarians are simple-minded, impulsive, and value blood ties and strength above all else.
Using the threat of Human Race as bait, the prospect of victory in the Great Calamity as leverage, and further supported by the promise of restraint through the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array...
We're not worried about them not taking the bait!
However.
Just as Di Jiang was about to agree...
"This matter need not be discussed further."
A clear and calm voice suddenly rang out.
Houtu slowly stepped forward and stood beside Di Jiang.
Her eyes were clear as she looked at Yuanshi Tianzun. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness:
"My Witch Clan... will not agree to this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Pangu Hall fell silent.
Di Jiang and the others were all taken aback, and turned to look at Houtu, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Little sister... why is that?
The conditions offered by Yuanshi were entirely beneficial to the Witch Clan, so why should they refuse?
The Yuanshi Tianzun also frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:
" Ancestral Witch Houtu, what do you mean by this?"
Houtu ignored Yuanshi, but turned her head to look at Di Jiang, a barely perceptible hint of urgency flashing in her eyes.
At the same time, a Spiritual Sense quietly entered the depths of Di Jiang's mind:
"Brother, don't fall for their trap!"
" Yuanshi Shi's visit is by no means well-intentioned."
"He appears to be plotting for the Witch Clan, but in reality... he intends to drag our Witch Clan into an abyss of no return!"
Di Jiang's pupils contracted slightly, his face remaining expressionless, as he secretly responded telepathically:
"Why do you say that, little sister?"
Houtu's voice travels incredibly fast, each word clear and distinct:
"Firstly, Xuandu attained the Zenith Heaven, his martial arts are complete, he has gained the Great Dao Recognition, and is further blessed by the Merit Adorns the Body of the Great Dao. His fortune is at its peak, and his momentum is already established."
"To be his enemy now is to be Great Dao enemy, to be his enemy, to be his Great Wilderness, and even more so, to be his enemy, the billions upon billions of Human Race who have awakened their Martial Dao Will Newborn Law!"
"Although my Witch Clan is strong, do we really want to fight to the death against the entire new humanity, against the martial arts Great Dao Recognition, and against a Zenith Heaven?"
Di Jiang was startled.
Houtu continued:
"Secondly, it is true Yuanshi the Human Race Blood is able to overcome the blood of our Witch Clan, but that is on the premise that the blood essence of the Human Race has been refined into the Witch-Slaying Sword."
"The martial arts passed down by Xuandu are a way to Temper Oneself and Unleash Potential, and have nothing to do with the essence and blood of the Human Race."
"Just because the Human Race is powerful doesn't necessarily mean they will become enemies with my Witch Clan."
"On the contrary..."
Houtu paused, a deeper meaning creeping into her telepathic message:
"Our Witch Clan and the Human Race have never had any conflict."
"When the Human Race was weak, my Witch Clan not only did not take advantage of their misfortune, but also helped them kill the Human Race."
"On the contrary, the demon race slaughtered Thirty-Seven Tribes of Human Race, Blood Extraction Sword Forging, and forged Blood Sea Deep Grudge with the Human Race."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Why should my Witch Clan, for a mere empty promise from Yuanshi, wage a life-or-death conflict with the Human Race, Xuandu, and the Interception Sect?"
The sounds echoed like thunderclaps deep within Di Jiang 'Dao Heart!
He was misled by Yuanshi's words and only saw the potential threat to the Human Race, but he did not think of this aspect.
yes.
When have the Witch Clan and the Human Race ever had a conflict?
On the contrary, the demon race harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Human Race.
When Xuandu led Myriad Human Race to besiege the Demon Court, the Witch Clan went to "watch the show," and Xuandu even showed goodwill to the Witch Clan.
If the Witch Clan were to heed the words of Yuanshi and attack the East Sea Coast, they would be pushing the Human Race, a potential ally, to the opposite side!
Even more terrifying is...
Thirdly.
Houtu's voice echoed again, carrying a hint of coldness:
" Yuanshi's promise to secretly restrain the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array is... utterly unbelievable!"
" The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array is the foundation of the Demon Court, and its destiny is connected to that of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. How could Yuanshi secretly restrain it?"
"Even if he could do it, why would he risk such a great deal for my Witch Clan?"
"His true purpose is to use the Witch Clan to eliminate Xuandu and the Human Race, clearing obstacles for his Chan Sect."
"Once it's done, he can easily renege on his promise and even join forces with the demon race to deal with my Witch Clan!"
"At that time, my Witch Clan will face the wrath of the demon race, the Interception Sect, and even the Human Race simultaneously!"
"In the midst of this great calamity, surrounded by enemies on all sides... is there any way for my Witch Clan to survive?"
The last sentence struck Di Jiang's heart like a heavy hammer blow!
He trembled violently, and a horrified glint suddenly flashed in his eyes!
Yes!
Yuanshi's plan was extremely vicious!
On the surface, it's a plan for the Witch Clan, but in reality, it's about dragging Witch Clan into a deadly predicament!
If the Witch Clan were to truly attack the East Sea Coast, the Interception Sect would certainly not stand idly by. In his thunderous rage, the Sect Leader Tongtian would activate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, and the Witch Clan would face an unyielding and deadly confrontation with a Sage.
The demon race, of course, would not let go of this opportunity to reap the benefits.
At that time, the Witch Clan will be attacked from both sides, and before the great calamity even begins, it will have already lost its vitality.
As for Yuanshi... he only needs to sit on the sidelines and watch the two tigers fight. Once the Witch Clan and the Interception Sect are both severely weakened, he can calmly clean up the mess and secure the greatest benefit for the Chan Sect!
What a ruthless scheme!
What a ruthless intention!
Di Jiang slowly raised his head, his gaze towards Yuanshi Tianzun now icy cold.
" Yuanshi."
He spoke slowly, his voice rough, yet carrying an unprecedented solemnity:
"We, the Witch Clan, appreciate your kindness..."
The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable frowned, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes:
" Di Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
Di Jiang grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and the Great Axe Phantom on his shoulder slowly rose:
"It means..."
"The affairs of my Witch Clan are none of your business to interfere with the Chan Sect!"
"What happens to the Human Race, what happens to Xuandu, what happens to the Interception Sect... these are all the Karma between my Witch Clan and them, what does it have to do with you, Yuanshi?"
"As for the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array..."
Di Jiang scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain:
"Our Witch Clan 'Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array can be broken on its own; why do we need you to secretly restrain us?"
" Yuanshi, you should go back and properly discipline your Chan Sect Disciple, and stop making such a racket in my Witch Clan!"
The last two words, spoken with the force of thunder, carrying immense Blood Qi, exploded with a deafening roar!
Pangu Hall, the enormous Pangu's Heart suddenly began to beat faster.
A primordial, earth -World Creation pressure spread out, Blood Qi Resonance with Di Jiang's blood and energy, transforming into an invisible barrier that crashed fiercely into Yuanshi Tianzun!
"Presumptuous!"
The Heavenly Venerable of Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened completely. The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his sleeve shone brightly, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light surged out like a tide, colliding fiercely with the pressure of Blood Qi and qi!
"Boom!"
A silent roar exploded within the Pangu Hall.
The void crumbled inch by inch, Earth Fire Water Wind surged, and the chaotic currents of laws raged.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches stepped forward in unison, their qi Blood Qi erupting violently.
Twelve Blood Qi Pillar, piercing the Tongtian and earth, shot into the sky, intertwining and rotating within the hall, faintly transforming into a towering Pangu Phantom!
