The deliberations at Mount Buzhou had set the broad course for the Witch Clan's future.
They would not start a war, but develop their clan first.
Yet developing the clan was no empty slogan; it required tangible resources to support it.
The Turbid Fiend Qi and tainted blood in the Blood Sea were the most crucial part of Pan Xuan's plan.
Baleful qi could temper the flesh, making ordinary members of the Witch Clan stronger in body.
Once purified, the tainted blood would become a source of blood that could replenish the Pangu Blood Pool and nurture more new clansmen.
If these two resources could be delivered to Mount Buzhou in an uninterrupted stream, the Witch Clan's overall strength would make a leap forward in a short time.
The framework for cooperation had already been settled with Minghe.
Next came putting that framework into practice: laying down a purification grand array in the depths of the Blood Sea and establishing a transmission passage from the Blood Sea to Mount Buzhou.
Pan Xuan did not delay. After a brief discussion with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, he decided to set out immediately.
The Blood Sea's Turbid Fiend Qi amounted to little for Ancestral Witches without primordial spirits, but it was a deadly corrosive force to beings who possessed them.
There was no need to bring any Great Witches or ordinary clansmen on this journey. The thirteen of them would suffice.
Houtu had the Destruction Stele to protect her, keeping her primordial spirit safe from corrosion.
Pan Xuan had the Righteous Vitality Formula and the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, leaving him impervious to all evil.
The other eleven Ancestral Witches followed the Fleshly Martial Dao, using law deities in place of primordial spirits. To them, the Turbid Fiend Qi was merely somewhat dirtier air.
