Two more Chaos Saints had joined the Witch-Demon Calamity!

And they were the Two Qing, both of Pangu's True Lineage!

At this moment.

Although the entire Witch Clan was immersed in suffocating pressure.

Not a single Witch Clan member—not even the elderly, women, children, or three-year-old toddlers—showed the slightest fear on their faces!

They only... hated!

They hated Dao Ancestor Hongjun's injustice!

They hated how Hongjun had gathered all the sages of heaven and earth, favored the Demon Clan, and joined forces with them to bully the Witch Clan!

At the same time, they hated that they were old and frail, or too young and powerless, unable to fight in the war between the Witches and Demons!

With no other choice, they could only silently pray and offer blessings for the Witch Clan warriors at the front lines.

Hoping Father God would protect them!

"Senior Chen Xuan... the situation seems serious now! Can you... still hold on?"

With the sudden arrival of the Two Qing, Houtu could not help holding her breath as worry began to rise within her.

Although Chen Xuan's influence—brainwashing—had made her fearless, she... truly feared that Chen Xuan would overplay his hand!

"Hold on? Of course I can hold on! Even if I can't, I still have to!"

"Besides, at this point, does the Witch Clan still have a way out?"

Faced with Houtu's worries, Chen Xuan replied with his usual confidence.

After all.

At this stage, they still wanted to retreat?

There was no retreating at all!

It was like—

I've already got my pants halfway off. How could I stop before screwing them to death? Was I supposed to pull my zipper back up halfway through?!

What I'm screwing is all the sages of the heavens!

"..."

Hearing this, Houtu fell silent.

That made sense!

Suddenly, a crisp shout rang across the battlefield between the Witches and Demons, openly questioning the two sages of the Profound Gate.

That graceful figure stood proudly between heaven and earth, fearless and unafraid, displaying the bearing of an unrivaled empress. She seemed capable of ruling over eternity alone, peerlessly gifted and incomparably magnificent.

"Taiqing, Yuanshi, are you two also going to become enemies of the Witch Clan?"

"Houtu, stop while you can. No matter how powerful the Dutian God-Demon Array is, you have yet to attain sainthood. How can the body of an ant dare shake the heavens? Do not ruin your own Dao path!"

"Moreover, Dao Ancestor has already erased half the killing power of the Dutian God-Demon Array. Its remaining might is nothing to fear. The Witch Clan is already at the end of its rope!"

Facing "Houtu's" cold question, Taiqing Laozi's expression remained as still as an ancient well as he replied indifferently. He seemed to be earnestly advising her, but in truth, he simply did not wish to become involved in the great karma here.

In short, if he could avoid tearing his face off with them, he would.

If they could talk things through, he would never resort to force!

However...

Chen Xuan clearly had no intention of settling this peacefully.

"Taiqing, shut your mouth! Stop putting on that hypocritical act here. You are utterly disgusting!"

"Do not think the filthy things you have done can be hidden from all living beings beneath heaven. You, Taiqing... are unworthy of being the leader of the Human Religion. You have no right to point fingers here!"

Ding! Chen the Arguer was back online!

His furious curses echoed through the universe and the myriad heavens.

Upon hearing this.

Taiqing Laozi furrowed his brow and blurted out instinctively, "Houtu, what do you mean by that?"

Everyone in the Primordial World knew.

Ever since Taiqing established the Human Religion and attained sainthood, he had been revered, loved, and supported by the Human Clan and all living beings under heaven.

He had even taught and enlightened the Human Clan, passing down the Human Clan's Golden Core method. That was an immeasurable merit.

So why could he not sense even the slightest respect from Houtu now?

Not only that, she was even humiliating him like this?

It truly infuriated him!

"Taiqing, dare you say that when you established the Human Religion and taught the Human Clan, you truly harbored no selfish motives and had a clear conscience?"

Chen Xuan questioned again.

Taiqing said nothing, merely frowning.

"Dare you say that establishing the Human Religion, passing down your teachings, and bestowing the Golden Core method were not for the sake of profit?!"

Chen Xuan questioned again.

Taiqing was speechless and fell completely silent.

"Look into my eyes and answer me! Speak up!!"

"You established the Human Religion only to attain sainthood. You taught the Human Clan only to scheme for the Human race's fortune. If you truly had no selfish motives, would you, Taiqing, dare pass down the complete Golden Core method?"

"Speak up!!! What, cat got your tongue!? Heh heh!"

Having lived two lives, Chen Xuan felt an inexplicable fury surge up the moment he saw Taiqing Laozi. He was instantly enraged, his rebukes and condemnations unending, his curses unceasing.

Today, he was determined to expose the Grand Pure Sage's hypocritical face before everyone, to make the Human Clan fully awaken and no longer remain deceived and ignorant.

Otherwise...

Being sold off and still helping count the money would be far too pathetic!

Thump!

The moment those words fell.

Taiqing Laozi's brows suddenly rose.

His Sage's Dao Heart trembled.

The hand hidden within his wide sleeve shook.

For no reason, he panicked!

How did this woman know...

That the Golden Core method he had passed down to the Human Clan was incomplete?

Something was wrong. Very wrong!

Rumble—

At this moment, after Chen Xuan publicly exposed Taiqing's filthy deeds, heaven and earth trembled, and all living beings were astonished.

Countless humans were utterly dumbfounded!

Within the Human Clan's ancestral land.

Youchao Shi, Suiren Shi, and Ziyi Shi, the three ancestors of the Human Clan, all shuddered violently. Their former faith was shaken in an instant, and their faces filled with shock and horror—

"What? The Golden Core method Taiqing Laozi passed down to the Human Clan was actually incomplete?"

"Why? Why was this so? Why would Taiqing do such a thing?!"

"Yes, how... how could this be possible? Our Human Clan had even been grateful to the Grand Pure Sage, building temples for him, molding golden statues, and offering incense to him. How could he do this?!!"

It was not only the Three Ancestors of the Human Race. Countless humans, whether innate or acquired, felt their worldview shaking wildly at this moment, their faith nearly collapsing.

They found it impossible to believe!

The Demon Clan had wantonly slaughtered hundreds of millions of humans, frantically gathering human blood essence to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword. That alone had been bad enough.

Yet now, Ancestor Witch Houtu was telling them...

The Human Clan had actually been stabbed in the back by its own faith?!

Hiss—

Who could endure that?!

The Human Clan was so miserable!

"Senior Brother Taiqing... was actually scheming against the Human Clan as well!? How could this be?"

Among them, Nuwa's expression changed upon hearing this. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and while disbelief filled her heart, a hint of coldness surfaced in her eyes.

One had to know.

She was both the sovereign of the Demon Clan.

And the Human Ancestor Mother!

The Demon Clan suffering calamity and the Human Clan suffering disaster were part of the great trend of the Primordial World. She could neither interfere nor mediate, and she had already felt utterly stifled by it!

But now...

If Ancestor Witch Houtu's words were true, she absolutely would not swallow this insult!

"Houtu, shut up! Stop spouting nonsense here and sowing discord!!"

Taiqing rebuked her angrily, his gaze shifting evasively. Even his voice lacked confidence, clearly revealing his guilty conscience.

He panicked. He had completely panicked!

The Human Clan was the foundation upon which Taiqing Laozi had attained sainthood.

Once the Human Clan's faith collapsed, then... he would definitely suffer terribly!

"Brother, why waste words on an ant? Just suppress her directly. Wouldn't that be quicker?"

"Only the dead remain silent forever!"

Fortunately, Yuanshi Tianzun's deep rebuke at that moment calmed Taiqing considerably.

That was right. Only the dead would not speak nonsense!

With that thought.

Taiqing, who cultivated tranquility and inaction and had always prided himself on purity and lack of desire, completely broke down at that moment.

A cold killing intent surfaced in his eyes!

"We have come under Dao Ancestor's orders to suppress the Witch Clan, set chaos right, and restore a bright and clear world to heaven and earth!"

"Houtu, you refuse to transform into reincarnation, ignore your opportunity to attain sainthood, and instead attempt to defy heaven itself. You are bringing about your own destruction, so do not blame me!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Taiqing Laozi directly ignored Chen Xuan's many questions.

Without another word, he flipped his hand and summoned the Innate Supreme Treasure—the Taiji Diagram—then decisively cast it toward the Primordial World's earth, straight for the Witch Clan's ancestral land!

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, surging yin and yang qi flowed forth. The diagram descended like a heavenly curtain, enveloping the Golden Dragon of Destiny above the Witch Clan and suppressing it!

At the same time, it instantly severed the flow of the Wu clan's fortune!

Almost at the same moment.

Yuanshi Tianzun made his move as well!

The Innate Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Banner, fluttered as it released countless mysterious lights of creation that tore through the sky, sweeping wildly across the Witch Clan's ancestral land with divine might capable of opening heaven!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

As waves of heaven-opening astral winds raged, the boundless fortune floating above the Witch Clan was instantly shredded to pieces!

The Taiji Diagram specialized in suppression, binding the Golden Dragon of Destiny.

The Pangu Banner specialized in offense, annihilating all things and wearing everything away.

In an instant, the golden dragon wailed and roared endlessly toward the heavens, its mournful dragon cries shaking the universe.

As one side waned, the other waxed.

The Wu clan's fortune was suppressed, while the Demon Clan's...

Originally as weak and ethereal as a flickering candle in the wind, its fortune began to gather once more at this moment!

The situation between the Witches and Demons had reversed yet again, and then reversed once more!!
