The Three Pure Ones Change Their Tune; They Hit It Off at Once
Nuwa and Baize arrived at Mount Yujing and met the Three Pure Ones.
After a few polite but somewhat insincere pleasantries, we finally got down to business.
"Junior sister, what brings you here today?" Laozi stroked his long, white beard and asked with a smile.
"My three senior brothers, I have come today to invite you to join us in fighting against the Witch Clan."
Nuwa was straightforward and stated her purpose directly, without beating around the bush or making things mysterious.
Upon hearing this, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian exchanged a silent glance. Then Laozi fell silent, stroking his beard.
Yuanshi picked up the conversation and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, perhaps it's not appropriate for us to interfere in the affairs of the demon race and the Witch Clan?"
They weren't fools; they naturally understood that Nuwa wanted to use their power to deal with the Witch Clan.
Nuwa's gaze shifted slightly. From the simple form of address, she could tell that the Three Pure Ones' attitude had changed again. Just now they were junior sisters, but now they were fellow Daoists.
Too fickle.
"Three senior brothers, this is not just a matter for our demon race. The Witch Clan is now committing heinous Slaughter and causing immense suffering. If we do not stop them, the consequences will be unimaginable."
She said solemnly, "There is a great righteousness, Merit Golden Light makes Nuwa even more sacred."
But the Three Pure Ones clearly didn't want to hear this. In their view, this was just a conflict between the demon race and the Witch Clan, Nuwa was simply trying to use them.
Nuwa did not say what she truly wanted to hear.
Seeing this, Baize couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Three Pure Ones, you must also know about the Witch Clan's worship of Mount Buzhou ten thousand years ago, right?"
"As far as I know, the Witch Clan received a gift from the Great God Pangu, and now the entire Primordial World believes that the Twelve Ancestral Witches are the Pangu Orthodox Lineage."
"Fellow Daoists, if we allow the Witch Clan to continue fighting like this, sooner or later they will dominate the Primordial World and turn their attention to you, seeking to completely seize the title of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage."
"I believe that given the Twelve Ancestral Witches' style of doing things, they will definitely do this. Therefore, the Witch Clan is our common enemy. As long as the three of you join forces with the Demon Clan, with your great magical power, the Witch Clan will certainly be no match for you!"
Baize's words were well-reasoned and presented from multiple angles, culminating in a flattering remark about the Three Pure Ones' powerful cultivation.
The Three Pure Ones reacted differently after hearing this. Laozi remained silent, only smiling slightly. Although he didn't speak, one could sense his satisfaction.
Yuanshi chuckled and said, "I've long heard that Fellow Baize is Spirit of Auspiciousness, knowledgeable about the affairs of the world. Could it be that you've already glimpsed a corner of the future?"
Baize, modest and unwilling to speak presumptuously, waved his hand and replied, "Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi is too kind. I have not seen the future; it is merely speculation."
Laozi and Yuanshi Shi nodded, their gazes deep and unfathomable, their minds racing with a myriad of thoughts as they silently calculated.
While Baize's words might seem like he was using them, there was some truth to them.
Given the personalities of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, if they defeat the demon race, they will definitely turn around and deal with them.
The most crucial point is that the Witch Clan was indeed extremely interested in the gifts that the Father God Pangu gave them!
Even if the demon race didn't come today, they would still find an opportunity to deal with the Twelve Ancestral Witches and settle their past grievances.
The debate over the Pangu Orthodox Lineage must be resolved.
After much deliberation, Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, already having their answer. As for Tongtian, he simply closed his eyes to rest, showing no interest in such scheming and intrigue.
It's entirely up to the eldest and second eldest brothers to make the decisions.
Nuwa was somewhat speechless, and sat quietly to the side, radiating her own meritorious light.
After a short while, Laozi slowly spoke to Nuwa, saying, "Junior Sister, we are from the same school, so it is only right and proper that I help you with this."
"The actions of the Witch Clan are contrary to the principles of Heaven and Earth. As disciples of the Dao Ancestor, we have the responsibility to govern the four directions and cannot allow the Witch Clan to act recklessly."
He said with a smile, and at that moment, he seemed to have a sense of righteous indignation.
Nuwa was utterly speechless upon hearing this, secretly feeling contempt for her, and unconsciously reverted to addressing her as "Junior Sister."
Composing herself, Nuwa nodded gently and said, "Thank you for your trouble, my three senior brothers."
Regardless, the Three Pure Ones was agreed upon, and at least the outcome was positive.
"Let's not delay, let's go now!"
Yuanshi stood up, already somewhat impatient, as he hadn't made a move since severing his two corpses.
This is a perfect opportunity to let those pathetic creatures witness his power and avenge their past grievances.
Is it in such a hurry?
Nuwa and Baize were both quite surprised. Just a moment ago they were saying no, but now they were about to set off, as if they couldn't wait a single second.
Of course, these were just thoughts in my mind; it wouldn't be appropriate to say them aloud.
Next, Nuwa Baize, and their henchmen, the Three Pure Ones, headed towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Just after they returned to the demon race, a message also reached Purple Mansion Island.
Immortal Court.
The Duke of the East received a message from the male immortal below, and the Three Pure Ones followed Nuwa into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He shared this news with the key figures of the Immortal Court, including the Queen Mother of the West, and they analyzed it together.
"Could it be that the Three Pure Ones have joined the demon race?"
Upon hearing this news, Xuan Xuanshui, a powerful elder of the Immortal Court, immediately spoke up and expressed his opinion.
This statement immediately drew opposition from other powerful figures.
"Impossible! Given the arrogance of the Three Pure Ones, how could they possibly join the demon race? I suspect it was Nuwa who invited them to fight against the Witch Clan together. Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones are both disciples of the Dao Ancestor, and are fellow disciples, so this is highly likely!"
The one speaking was Kongming Immortal Master of the Immortal Court.
The Duke of the East's eyes gleamed, and he secretly deduced what was going on before speaking:
"Kongming is right. It's impossible for the Three Pure Ones to join the demon race. The only possibility is that they were invited by Nuwa to fight against the Witch Clan together."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's phoenix eyes flickered, and she said coldly, "That's perfect. My Immortal Court should also step in to suppress the arrogance of the Witch Clan."
She had not forgotten the deep-seated grudge of having her dojo seized by the Witch Clan, and now was the perfect opportunity.
As soon as he finished speaking, the male immortals, including Duke of the East, paused for a moment, realizing that these words were somewhat excessive.
It would be overestimating the Immortal Court's strength to get involved in the conflict between the demon and Witch Clan.
Just then, Kongming subtly gave a wink and secretly transmitted his voice to Duke of the East.
After a short while, the Duke of the East understood immediately, and they hit it off instantly. He then spoke loudly and righteously.
"The Queen Mother of the West is right. Our Immortal Court was created to maintain order in the Primordial World. The actions of the Witch Clan have seriously endangered the safety of all living beings in the Primordial World and must be severely punished!"
On the surface, it was for the sake of all living beings, but the Duke of the East already had a plan in mind.
The great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan will be earth-shattering. He wants to take advantage of the chaos to rise to power, interfere with the situation, and seize Kunpeng's Primordial Violet Qi!
Opportunity lies in danger!
