An explanation, another damn explanation!

Ancestor Witch Houtu wanted an explanation from them!

The two Golden Crows also wanted an explanation from them!

And now even Sage Nuwa wanted an explanation from them!

No, where were they supposed to find so many explanations?!

At this moment.

When the two Western Sages saw Nuwa arriving in a fury, they were terrified and instantly filled with regret.

One had to know.

They had traveled countless miles from the Western Continent to the Witch-Demon battlefield, sparing no effort, originally intending to demand an explanation from the Witch Clan.

But what was the result?

Now everyone was demanding an explanation from them!

Damn it!

"Nuwa... junior sister, please calm down first. Do not be swayed by that ant's provocations. We are Sages of the same lineage!"

"That's right, junior sister. Listen to my sophistry... pfft, explanation."

Jieyin and Zhunti wanted to argue their way out of this, hoping they could somehow fool her.

"Shut up!"

"You two shameless wretches are unworthy of calling yourselves my senior brothers. You have no shame, but I do!"

Unexpectedly, during her journey here, Nuwa had already used Sage's divine abilities to travel upstream through the River of Time, trace karmic causes and effects, and observe the past. She had learned the whole truth!

She knew Zhunti's actions better than anyone!

"Zhunti, the ten Golden Crows are Demon Clan Crown Princes. You infiltrated Tanggu Valley and used the Western Salvation Technique to bewitch them into leaving their nest, thus provoking the great war between the Witch and Demon Clans. Countless members of the Human Clan died, and all living beings suffered. How dare you call yourself a Sage?"

Nuwa stood proudly in the starry sky, her jade hand pointing at Zhunti as she glared and rebuked him. Her towering chest heaved violently with rage.

Boom!

The moment those words were spoken.

Zhunti's face turned deathly pale, as though he had been struck by lightning.

Damn it, now that Sage Nuwa had stepped forward to accuse them, the Western faction did not even have the slightest room to argue!

Sure enough, what was coming...

Had still come!

In an instant.

Whether it was the Demon Clan or the Witch Clan, the two races that had originally stood on opposing sides immediately united against a common enemy after learning who had truly started the war.

Every one of them glared furiously, wishing they could flay Zhunti alive!

"The two Western Sages are utterly shameless!"

"They deserve ten thousand deaths!!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill—"

In an instant, thunderous cries like mountain-shattering tsunamis erupted, endlessly reverberating through the universe and starry skies, shaking heaven and earth in every direction.

"Senior brother, you have to save me!"

Feeling Nuwa's towering fury, Zhunti completely panicked. He hurriedly cast a pleading look at Jieyin, nearly reduced to tears.

Seeing this, Jieyin glanced at the surrounding sea of blood and the Great Array of the Stars, its boundless ferocious light blazing with terrifying intensity. He could not help but smile bitterly and say weakly, "Junior brother, you... should seek your own fortune!"

"-_-||..."

Jieyin was helpless.

Zhunti was speechless!

"Zhunti, I am both the sovereign of the Demon Clan and the Human Ancestor Mother. How could I allow you to commit such boundless slaughter? Today, we shall go to the Outer Heavens of Chaos and settle every blood debt here, bringing this karma to an end!"

As her words fell.

Nuwa's long gauze sleeves billowed, sweeping forth vast and majestic magical power. She tore open a spatial rift and forcibly dragged Zhunti into it.

In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two Sages had vanished.

Only the depths of that void could be seen trembling violently, with various killing divine abilities flickering into view. Miserable screams rang out without end, and the commotion was immense.

Clearly, Zhunti's current situation was far from good.

"Senior Chen Xuan, you are incredible!"

"With just a few words, you easily trapped and killed a Hun Yuan Sage, eliminating a great threat for the Witch Clan. You truly are extraordinary!"

Now that one of the two Western Sages was gone and the twelve Ancestor Witches had Jieyin trapped in the array, the situation had reversed yet again. For a time, Houtu's admiration and reverence for Chen Xuan surged like an ancient flood bursting through a dam, endless and unstoppable.

She was the very picture of a fangirl!

"It is nothing worth mentioning."

Chen Xuan remained as calm as ever, unperturbed by honor or disgrace.

It was not that he was putting on an act.

Rather, he understood...

The Witch Clan's crisis was not over!

He then said solemnly, "Houtu, let me put it this way. The Witch Clan's enemies... have never been only the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, nor are they merely Jieyin and Zhunti, those two meddlesome clowns."

"It is that... Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who places himself above all!"

"Even... the Heavenly Dao!"

Buzz!!!

Hearing this, Houtu's delicate body suddenly trembled. Her pretty face turned pale as stormy waves surged within her heart, refusing to subside for a long while.

The Witch Clan's enemies were not only the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

There was also Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

If you cannot find it by searching the book title, try searching the author. It may have simply been renamed!

And even... the Heavenly Dao?!!

Hiss—

Sure enough, the waters of the Primordial Desolation World ran far too deep!

She was merely a woman; she simply could not grasp it all!

"I beg Senior Chen Xuan to help the Witch Clan break this deadlock!"

"On behalf of the Witch Clan, this junior offers thanks for your immense kindness!"

"Afterward, I am willing to heed your commands without complaint!"

A tremendous sense of crisis swept through her entire body. Helpless and desperate, Houtu was like a drowning child clutching Chen Xuan, this... lifeline, and pleaded bitterly.

"Do not worry about that. I have already said it: just hand your body over to me, lie down, and that will do. I will carry you to victory and guarantee your satisfaction."

Casting aside his chaotic thoughts, Chen Xuan spoke with complete confidence.

"Mm!"

Houtu nodded again and again, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.

After saying that.

Chen Xuan focused his gaze on Jieyin within the array. His eyes gradually turned cold, and he suddenly grinned viciously. "For now, let's deal with this bastard first!"

Thump!

For some reason, Houtu's heart involuntarily trembled after hearing Chen Xuan's words.

Oh no!

Judging by Senior's manner...

Could he be planning to... slay a Sage?!!

Hiss—

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

No sooner had Chen Xuan finished speaking.

Than the Great Array of the Stars began operating with a thunderous roar. Boundless chaotic baleful energy surged like raging waves, shaking the universe and annihilating all around it, all of it locking onto Jieyin.

It seemed intent on killing him!

Seeing this.

Jieyin's expression changed drastically.

He was completely panicked!

When Zhunti had still been present, perhaps he could at least help Jieyin bear some of the endless killing force of the Dutian God-Demon Array.

But now...

After all, even when two Hun Yuan Sages had joined forces, they had only barely endured Pangu True Body's attacks.

So how was he supposed to withstand it alone now?

Who the hell could endure this?!

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, listen to my explanation. All this... is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Jieyin forced a smile, though it looked even uglier than crying.

Even now, with no way forward or back, he still clung to a sliver of hope, attempting to mediate with his silver tongue.

What if...

What if it worked?

Unexpectedly.

Chen Xuan did not indulge him at all!

Hearing that, he immediately laughed. "An explanation? At this point, what is there left to explain? Is there any need?"

"Now that I command the supreme killing power of the Dutian God-Demon Array, capable of slaughtering gods and Sages alike, why the hell should I explain anything to you?"

"Look into my eyes and speak! Tell me, what is there to explain?!! Speak!!!"

Every word from Chen Xuan struck home. His tone was forceful and resounding, his domineering aura overflowing, leaving Jieyin without a word to say.

"Bastard, this is simply too much! I will fight you Witch Clan scum to the death!"

Seeing that the other side's attitude was so unyielding, Jieyin had nothing more to say. Gritting his teeth, he decided to go all out.

Rather than lower himself and beg for mercy.

He might as well carve out a bloody path himself!

Jieyin simply refused to believe it.

Could a living man really be suffocated to death by piss?

As a dignified Hun Yuan Sage, even if he could not win, could he not seize a single chance at survival?

With that thought.

As his words fell.

Jieyin had already stepped forth atop the Golden Lotus of Merit.

At almost the same time.

A Green Lotus Treasure Banner unfurled at his side, white vapors and golden light intertwining into a shield!

Jieyin's Treasure Banner floated above his head, erupting with boundless radiance!

The Demon-Quelling Pestle, Golden Bow, Fish Intestine Sword, chambered nautilus, agate, jeweled necklaces... all manner of Innate Spiritual Treasures crisscrossed the air as Jieyin summoned them one after another!

A deadly battle was unavoidable today!

It was also Jieyin's tribulation, one he could not escape!

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time!
