Trouble Stirs, Houtu's Longing

In the West sky, two beams of holy light flashed and disappeared in an instant. The extraordinary phenomenon of the fall of Sage shocked the entire Primordial World.

Hundreds of millions of living beings were moved and all looked on in shock towards the West.

The fall of Sage is too sudden.

They didn't even understand what was happening.

"Terrible! The world is about to change! Sage who is indestructible will actually perish!" A powerful being stood on the mountaintop, watching the strange phenomena that filled the world, and felt his soul tremble.

His worldview was greatly shaken.

Who could kill beings of the Sage level?

This was the first time since the beginning of time that Sage had fallen in the Primordial World, a phenomenon that shocked all living beings.

In the Wa Palace, Nuwa's gaze pierced through Chaos and endless time and space, landing on Mount Sumeru.

"The Two Western Sages were killed?"

In her view, there was no reason to die for fun when one was living a good life. Although one could be resurrected, it was foolish and unnecessary.

The deaths of Jieyin Zhun Ti must have been caused by someone.

Nuwa's phoenix eyes gleamed with contemplation, and she quickly identified a suspect.

"Could it be Ling Xiao who killed him?"

She thought this way, not just guessing. There was a precedent for it. In the past, when the saints were preaching, Ling Xiao had appeared and killed Yuanshi and Zhun Ti.

In other words, Ling Xiao has this ability.

The only thing Nuwa couldn't understand was how they managed to kill Jieyin and Zhunti and without anyone noticing.

This method is utterly absurd!

He has probably already reached the level of the Dao Ancestor.

Thinking about this, Nuwa suddenly realized that this might not necessarily be Ling Xiao's doing.

She and Ling Xiao became saints around the same time, and so little time has passed, there's no reason for her to grow so quickly!

This is so abnormal!

Pangu Temple.

"Damn it, I thought something had happened, but it turns out those two old bastards from the West got blown up!" Qiangliang was startled by the strange phenomenon of the Sage's fall and immediately started cursing.

"Haha, they died at just the right time. Now's the perfect opportunity to seize the West and take over their lair. Anyway, Hongjun has entrusted the Witch Clan with the land, I don't believe those two old bastards would dare to bare their teeth!"

Gonggong laughed heartily and said boldly, "After resting for so long, it's time to stretch our muscles and bones."

"Good! That's what I think too. The foolish demon race provoked the Golden Crow and deserved to be beaten. Once we occupy the Primordial Land, we'll launch an attack and damn it, the One Yuan Society!" Xizi said loudly, not caring if anyone heard.

Upon hearing this, Dijiang nodded silently. He thought so too. Hongjun's so-called prohibition against fighting with the demon race during the One Yuan Society was nothing but a fart to him.

When the time is right, we'll take action immediately.

The Dao Ancestor's influence is useless to the Witch Clan.

Immediately, Dijiang looked around and said solemnly, "In that case, let's start from the West and dominate the land."

"As for the Human Race, let's not touch them for now."

As soon as the words were spoken, all the Ancestral Witch agreed.

Then, the group of Ancestral Witch left the Pangu Temple and went back to their respective tribes to gather people, preparing to start the battle.

Just then, Houtu returned from outside, and the Ancestral Witch suddenly realized that something was missing. It turned out that Houtu was not there.

"Little sister, where have you been? Why do you look so troubled?"

Qiangliang asked, looking puzzled. Houtu's current demeanor was completely different from usual, her emotions written all over her face.

The other Ancestral Witch also noticed this and looked at Houtu, awaiting her answer.

Houtu paused for a moment, then forced a smile and slowly said, "I went to the Sea of Blood."

"For some reason, I felt like something was calling to me from there, so I went to take a look."

Houtu did not hide anything and told her everything. Not long ago, after the great battle, she suddenly felt a tremor, as if there was some kind of guidance in the dark.

So, as if by some strange twist of fate, she went to the Sea of Blood, but soon after she arrived, she was discovered by the Minghe. What she didn't expect was that the Minghe, with some unknown confidence, spoke to her in a sarcastic and domineering manner.

Houtu realized that she was in the wrong for wandering into someone else's territory for no reason. She didn't say much and turned back, but the lingering attachment in her heart never dissipated.

"What good things could Sea of Blood possibly contain? It's just filthy blood, not the essence of the Father God."

"Sister, don't go to dangerous places alone in the future. Go together," Dijiang instructed, but he didn't take Houtu's words to heart.

Houtu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

"Go, go, go get to work!" the Ancestral Witch shouted, urging Houtu to return to the tribe and gather people.

The Witch Tribe became lively again.

Mount Kunlun.

The Three Pure Ones stood up in surprise, looking at the West with suspicion, exchanging bewildered glances.

"The Two Western Sages are dead? This is somewhat similar to what happened at Mount Buzhou!" Yuanshi said with a solemn expression, thinking of something terrible.

"Jieyin Zhun Ti to scheme against the Golden Crow, but they suffered a great calamity. Perhaps this is the blessing Pangu's Legacy."

Laozi said in a deep voice, his gaze somewhat complicated. Pangu even protected the Golden Crow, yet he ignored them, who were transformed from his primordial spirit.

This is so inappropriate!

"I suspect something's fishy. The only one most likely to protect those two bastards is Ling Xiao."

Yuanshi changed the subject, considering this possibility, but the evidence was insufficient. He couldn't sense Ling Xiao's aura and couldn't confirm whether it was him or not.

Moreover, based on his experience fighting Ling Xiao, it's unrealistic to kill Jieyin and Zhun Ti silently.

"That beast Kunpeng, with such an advantage, still couldn't win. If he had a choice, this wretched creature would only be fit to Sea Eye!"

Yuanshi said coldly, "Letting Kunpeng lead the demon race is like choosing the tallest among the dwarfs. He's the only demon he can barely manage; the others are no match for him."

Upon hearing this, Laozi chuckled and said, "The possibility of Ling Xiao is slim. Even if he manages to deceive us, he cannot deceive the Dao Ancestor."

"I believe the teacher has already made arrangements, and we don't need to inquire further."

He stroked his gray beard, his face appearing aged, yet he was vigorous and full of energy, as if he were always in a state of peak vitality before death.

At the same time.

The fall of the Two Western Sages did not affect the great war on the Sun Star.

However, it affected the battle. After the Jieyin, Di Jun and Tai Yi returned to normal and were back to their peak condition. The two joined forces and beat Kunpeng until he lost his mind and bled in the void.

"What's going on? Why have these two wretches become so powerful again?" Kunpeng was dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, they were showing off their invincible prowess, but before they could enjoy their triumph for long, the situation had turned around.

What just happened? Were you just joking with him?

Kunpeng was truly at his limit. In a panic, he shouted, "Di Jun, Tai Yi, I still have some time left. Do you have the ability to break through it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Kunpeng spread its wings and flew into the deep sky, summoning the Innate One-Qi Taiqing Talisman.

Instantly, the demon race moved in formation, and the phantom of a Taiji Diagram slowly emerged, enveloping the vast deep space.
