Baize's Words, Joining Forces Against the Ancestral Witches
As soon as Baize spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of all the powerful figures.
They all understood that when it came to using their brains, they had to rely on Baize.
"Baize, what do you mean by that?" Fuxi was the first to speak, asking eagerly.
That's just how Baize is; he either doesn't speak at all, or when he does, he has a great idea.
This is much better than the likes of Kunpeng making a fuss here.
Baize paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I had a sudden thought while listening to your conversation. If the Witch Clan really received a gift from the Great God Pangu, who do you think is the most anxious and envious right now?"
Upon hearing this, all the demons were stunned, and after a moment of silence, they asked a question.
"You mean?"
This topic is somewhat sensitive, so they didn't ask directly. They had some ideas, but they weren't sure if they were right.
Baize didn't mince words, and solemnly continued, "Now that things have come to this, we can only seek help from powerful figures who have a grudge against the Witch Clan to fight against the Ancestral Witch together!"
"And the powerful beings who have a grudge against the Ancestral Witch..."
"I know, it's the Three Crows and the Three Pure Ones." Before Baize could finish speaking, Jimeng immediately raised his hand and continued the conversation.
"Very good, you've all learned to answer first." Baize gave him a thumbs up and gave him an approving look.
"However, what you said is not accurate enough. The one who has always had the greatest enmity with the Ancestral Witch is naturally the Three Pure Ones."
"They fought for countless years because of the claim to be the true descendants of Pangu Orthodox Lineage, always wanting to kill each other, especially the Three Pure Ones, who almost died at the hands of the Ancestral Witch."
"I believe they hate the Ancestral Witch even more than we do. In addition, the Ancestral Witch received a gift from the Great God Pangu. I'm afraid the Three Pure Ones will be restless."
"This is the perfect opportunity to invite them to take action. If we join forces with the Three Pure Ones, and with their combined strength, along with the demon race, we will surely be able to defeat the Ancestral Witch."
Baize spoke methodically, having thought of many things in that short time, presenting his arguments logically and clearly.
After hearing his words, the demons fell into deep thought, all moved by Baize's analysis.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although the demon race can't get along with the Three Pure Ones, the enmity between the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witch is no less than theirs.
This is a blood feud.
Furthermore, there's the connection to Nuwa; both are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, making them fellow disciples. Their alliance against the Witch Clan is not just empty talk.
Baize's words moved even Nuwa; her Nuwa eyes shone brightly, and she was absolutely stunning.
"The Three Pure Ones have always been at odds with the Ancestral Witch. This idea is indeed feasible. If the demon race and the Three Pure Ones join forces, the Witch Clan can be defeated!"
She spoke with a smile on her jade-like face, her whole body enveloped in a dazzling Merit Golden Light, sacred and vast.
As soon as the words were spoken, all the demons couldn't help but nod in agreement, but some held different opinions.
Guiche shrugged and said in a shrill voice, "Can we really defeat the Witch Clan by joining forces with the Three Pure Ones?"
He asked the question rather casually, as if it were just a slip of the tongue, but he had been thinking about it for a moment, and since he had thought about it, there was no harm in saying it.
All the demons were startled by Guiche's sudden question and looked at him with different expressions.
Jiuying burst out laughing, "Hey Guiche, are you traumatized by the Ancestral Witch?"
"Even with the Three Pure Ones combined, we can't defeat the Witch Clan. Who else can?"
He laughed heartily, his laughter extremely sarcastic, not Guiche. Both being naturally forthright demons, they spoke their minds without any pretense.
"We can definitely beat Three Crows. It would be great if we could invite them over."
Jimeng continued, his face resolute, without the slightest doubt.
He has always upheld this principle and has never changed it.
"Come on, let Three Crows come. Is it to deal with the Witch Clan or us?" Guiche reacted violently. Back on Three Immortal Islands, he was almost killed by the aftershocks of Ling Xiao's attack.
"The Three Crows have no mortal feud with the Witch Clan, so it's unlikely they'll show up. The Three Pure Ones, on the other hand, have a reason to intervene," Baize said wisely. In his opinion, it would be better if the Three Crows came than if the Three Pure Ones came.
However, Baize felt that this was unlikely, so he had to give up.
"Alright, stop arguing. There's no difference. The Three Pure Ones have already severed two of their corpses, so their strength is probably not much weaker than the Three Crows."
"Let's join forces with the Three Pure Ones to deal with the Witch Clan."
Kunpeng clapped his hands, displaying an air of Qiankun power, and without even knowing whether the Three Pure Ones would agree, he unilaterally made the announcement.
He was running out of patience. He had initially joined the demon race for the benefits, but now it seemed that the effort he put in was not worth the rewards. The battle had dragged on for a long time without a clear victor, and he was even getting beaten up.
Moreover, now that he possesses the Primordial Violet Qi, it would be more peaceful for him to retreat to the North Sea and cultivate properly.
Being in the demon race has hindered his cultivation too much. If he can't become a saint in the future, the demon race will bear the primary responsibility for it all being delayed.
"Since you're so confident, Kunpeng, why don't you go and ask the Three Pure Ones to intervene?"
At this moment, Nuwa looked at Kunpeng and said with a smile, but there was an inexplicable meaning to it, as if she was dissatisfied.
"Me? I can't!" Kunpeng immediately shook his head, showing no respect.
"I have no connection with the Three Pure Ones. It would be better for Fellow Daoist Nuwa to go. You are the Three Pure Ones' junior sister and a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, making you the most suitable candidate."
He's just talking big, all talk and no action. He doesn't have a good relationship with the Three Pure Ones, and he possesses the Primordial Violet Qi, so how could he just go out and have fun?
Only someone with nothing better to do would do something so thankless and exhausting.
Nuwa's expression changed slightly, and she felt dissatisfied with Kunpeng again. All the goodwill she had gained from Kunpeng's help in creating the Demon Script had been squandered.
Since Kunpeng severed his two corpses, he has become increasingly arrogant and has not taken her seriously at all.
That's incredibly arrogant!
The demons exchanged glances, all sensing Kunpeng's arrogance and Nuwa's displeasure. The atmosphere instantly became tense, filled with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
At this moment, Fuxi saw through his sister's thoughts, coughed lightly, and spoke up to defuse the awkward situation.
"Sister, Kunpeng has a point. The Three Pure Ones are your senior brothers, so it would be more appropriate for you to go than for us."
The matter hasn't been resolved yet, how can there be internal strife?
At this point, only he could offer some advice. Although Kunpeng had gone too far, for the sake of the overall situation, they couldn't afford to turn against him and needed to unite against a common enemy.
"Very well, Your Empress Wa, may I accompany you to see the Three Pure Ones?"
Baize stood up and said solemnly, then tried to persuade her, "Empress Wa is the respectful title given by the demon race to Nuwa, the ruler of the demon race."
His thoughts were similar to Fuxi's; the safety of the entire demon race naturally outweighed everything else. Nuwa and Kunpeng, the two strongest beings in the demon race, were to turn against each other, it would be a Destruction blow to the demon race.
Nuwa paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, temporarily setting aside her prejudice against Kunpeng. Kunpeng was the second strongest among the demon race after her, and she could not easily turn against him.
"It's settled then."
Nuwa and Baize did not linger; they immediately left their base camp and headed towards Mount Yujing.
