More explanations, and again with the explanations!

Ancestor Witch Houtu wants an explanation!

The two Golden Crows also want an explanation!

Now even Sage Nuwa wants an explanation!

Seriously, where are they supposed to get so many explanations from!

At this very moment.

Seeing Nuwa approaching with immense fury, the Two Sages of the West were terrified and instantly filled with immense regret.

You see.

They had traveled millions of miles from the Western Continent, enduring hardship, to rush to the Wu-Demon battlefield. Their original intention was to demand an explanation from the Wu clan.

But what was the result?

Now everyone is demanding an explanation from them!

Damn it all!

"Nuwa... junior sister, please calm yourself. Do not be easily swayed by that ant's instigation. We are Sages from the same lineage!"

"Yes, junior sister, please listen to my sophistry... no, explanation."

Jieyin and Zhunti tried to argue, hoping to muddle through.

"Silence!"

"You two shameless wretches are not worthy to be called senior and junior siblings by this princess. You have no shame, but I still do!"

Unexpectedly, on her way here, Nuwa had already used her Sage divine abilities, flowing against the river of time, tracing the karma, and investigating the past. She knew the entire truth!

She knew better than anyone about Zhunti's actions!

"Zhunti, the Ten Golden Crows are the Demon Clan's Crown Prince. You infiltrated Tanggu Valley and used the Western Salvation Technique to lure them out of their nest, thus instigating the great Wu-Demon war. This led to the deaths of countless humans and plunged the world into misery. Do you even deserve to be called a Sage?"

As she spoke, Nuwa stood proudly in the starry sky, pointing a jade hand at Zhunti, her brows furrowed in anger as she berated him. Her majestic chest heaved up and down continuously.

BOOM!

As soon as these words were uttered.

Zhunti's face turned ashen. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

It's over. Now that Sage Nuwa had stepped forward to expose them, the West had no room to argue at all!

As expected, what was coming...

It had finally come!

Instantly.

In this world, whether it was the Demon clan or the Wu clan, the two races who had previously stood on opposing sides, upon learning the true culprit behind the instigation of the war, instantly united against a common enemy, filled with shared hatred.

Every single one of them glared with eyes wide open, wishing they could flay Zhunti alive!

"The Two Sages of the West are utterly shameless!"

"Deserve to die!!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"KILL—"

In an instant, a colossal wave of sound, like a tsunami, erupted, reverberating through the cosmos and shaking the heavens and earth.

"Senior brother, you must save me!"

Sensing Nuwa's overwhelming rage, Zhunti completely panicked. He quickly cast a pleading gaze at Jieyin, tears welling up in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jieyin glanced sideways at the blood-red sky surrounding them, the immeasurable malevolent light of the Great Array of the Stars blazing terrifyingly. He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and weakly said, "Junior brother, you... you're on your own!"

"-_-||..."

Jieyin was helpless.

Zhunti was speechless!

"Zhunti, since I am honored as the Empress of the Demon Clan and the Human Ancestor Mother, I will not allow you to commit boundless karmic sin! Today, we shall go to the Outer Heavens of Chaos to settle these blood debts and resolve this karma!"

As her voice fell.

Nuwa's flowing sleeves rippled, stirring up immense and magnificent magical power. She tore open a spatial rift and forcefully dragged Zhunti into it.

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

Only in the depths of that void could one see violent turbulence, with various divine abilities of slaughter flashing intermittently, accompanied by continuous screams. The commotion was quite grand.

It was clear that Zhunti's current situation was not going well.

"Senior Chen Xuan, you are so amazing!"

"In just a few words, you easily managed to trap and kill a Hun Yuan Sage, eliminating a great disaster for the Wu clan. Truly remarkable!"

With one of the Western Two Sages missing and the twelve Ancestor Witches trapping Jieyin, the situation had flipped once again. Houtu's admiration and reverence for Chen Xuan surged like an ancient flood breaking through a dam, ceaseless and overwhelming.

She was acting like a total fangirl!

"This is nothing, hardly worth mentioning."

Chen Xuan remained as calm and unperturbed as ever, unswayed by praise or blame.

It wasn't an act.

He understood that...

The Wu clan's crisis was still ongoing!

Immediately, he turned serious again and said, "Houtu, let me put it this way: the Wu clan's enemies... have never just been the Demon clan and the Heavenly Court, nor are they just these two meddling clowns, Jieyin and Zhunti."

"Instead, it is that... self-proclaimed supreme Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

"And even—the Heavenly Dao!"

Buzz!!!

Upon hearing this, Houtu's delicate body trembled violently. Her pretty face turned ashen, and a tempest of shock raged within her, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

The Wu clan's enemies weren't just the Demon clan and the Heavenly Court.

But also the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

And even—the Heavenly Dao?!!

Hiss—

Indeed, the waters of the Primordial Desolation world were far too deep!

As a mere woman, she couldn't possibly grasp it all!

"I implore Senior Chen Xuan to help the Wu clan break free from this predicament!"

"On behalf of the Wu clan, I, your junior, thank you, Senior, for your immense kindness and virtue!"

"After this is resolved, I am willing to obey your commands, without any complaints!"

A sense of immense crisis washed over her. Helpless and resigned, Houtu, like a drowning child, desperately clung to Chen Xuan, this... life-saving straw, pleading with him.

"Don't worry about that. I told you, just give yourself to me and lie down. I'll carry you, and you'll be satisfied."

Pushing aside his distracting thoughts, Chen Xuan said confidently.

"Okay!"

Houtu nodded repeatedly, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.

After speaking.

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

Thump!

For some reason, after hearing Chen Xuan's words, Houtu's heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

Oh no!

Judging by Senior's demeanor...

Did he intend to—fail to kill a Sage?!!

Hiss—

Rumble!!!

In the blink of an eye.

As Chen Xuan's words fell.

The Great Array of the Stars roared to life. Boundless chaotic killing intent surged like waves, churning the universe and shredding everything in its path, all locked onto Jieyin.

It was as if they intended to annihilate him!

Seeing this.

Jieyin's expression changed drastically.

He was completely panicked!

Previously, when Zhunti was still here, perhaps he could have helped him share some of the endless slaughter from the Great Array of the Stars.

But now...

After all, even with two Hun Yuan Sages working together, they could only barely hold on against the attacks of that Pangu True Body.

How could he possibly withstand it when he was the only one left in the formation?

Who could possibly endure this!

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, listen to my explanation. This is all... a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Jieyin said with a forced smile, his grin looking more like a grimace than a smile.

Things had reached this point, and he was trapped. He still held onto a sliver of hope, attempting to mediate with his silver tongue.

What if...

What if there was a chance?

Little did he know.

Chen Xuan wasn't going to humor him at all!

Upon hearing this, he immediately laughed, "Explain? The matter has come to this, what's there to explain? Is it necessary?"

"Now I wield the supreme killing power of the Great Array of the Stars, capable of slaying gods and saints. What do I need to explain to you, you brat!"

"Look me in the eyes when you speak! Tell me, what's there to explain?!! Speak!!!"

Chen Xuan's words were like pearls, his speech sonorous and powerful, exuding an overwhelming dominance that completely disarmed Jieyin.

"You scoundrel, this is simply too much to bully a Sage! This Daoist will fight you Wu clan to the death!"

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

Rather than humbling himself, wagging his tail, and begging for mercy.

It would be better to carve out a path to survival himself!

Jieyin simply refused to believe he was doomed.

Could a living person be suffocated by urine?

He, a dignified Hun Yuan Sage, even if he couldn't win, couldn't he at least seize a sliver of hope for survival?

With this thought.

His voice fell.

Jieyin stepped onto the Golden Lotus of Merit and strode forward resolutely.

Almost simultaneously.

A Green Lotus Treasure Banner unfurled beside him, its white energy and golden light intertwining to form a shield!

Another Jieyin's Treasure Banner hung above his head, emitting immeasurable radiance!

What about the Demon-Quelling Pestle, Golden Bow, Fish Intestine Sword, Chambered Nautilus, Agate, Necklace... all sorts of Innate Spiritual Treasures crisscrossed, all summoned by Jieyin!

A desperate battle was unavoidable today!

This was also Jieyin's tribulation, inescapable!
