Xiao Hong rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Who met you when you were humble? They are born sacred, and are extremely powerful beings from birth.
However, we do have some connection.
He pondered for a moment, deciding to play the villain:
"Master, these guys are all unruly and unruly. You can handle them as you see fit!"
The Evil Qilin's demeanor, coupled with Xiao Hong's words, immediately instilled fear in these ancient beings.
Like toppling the first domino.
All those ancient giants, who were once dominant figures throughout the primordial era, are now vying to emulate the Evil Qilin, shrinking their enormous bodies to ordinary sizes. Some crawl on the waves of the Nether Sea, while others kneel in the void, their heads buried deep, their auras restrained like the most docile spirit beasts, not daring to even breathe loudly.
" Dao Venerable, spare my life!"
"We are willing to be your slaves and servants, at the beck and call of the Dao Venerable Master!"
"I beg the Dao Venerable for mercy!"
Pleading voices rose and fell, their postures so humble they seemed to be reduced to dust.
They were truly terrified, only hoping to save their lives in front of the Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable, whose life and death could be decided with a single thought.
The scene where Han Xuanji made his move just now was truly shocking.
Without uttering a word, the Twelve Ancestral Witches fell silent instantly, and now no one knows whether they are alive or dead.
As for the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
Not familiar with them.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, when the Ancestral Witch came out, they behaved themselves and didn't cause any trouble.
"Since they have realized their mistake, they are not beyond redemption."
Han Xuanji spoke slowly, with a hint of condescending scrutiny:
"Your escape from your predicament and your encounter with me is also a matter of fate. My Dao Palace, which embraces all spirits, is still lacking some supplies."
He paused, his gaze lingering for a moment, especially on the Evil Qilin and the other giants whose auras were the most ancient and powerful.
"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, you may enter my tutelage to atone for your sins and perform meritorious deeds. If you diligently cultivate in the future and strictly abide by the palace rules, you will have a bright future."
If one harbors disloyal thoughts...
Han Xuanji didn't finish speaking, but the slight indifference that flashed across his calm gaze sent shivers down the spines of all the ancient beings. They quickly lowered their heads even further and stammered:
"I dare not! Absolutely not! I am willing to obey the Dao Venerable's decree! I will be loyal for eternity!"
A sense of relief at having survived a calamity rose in their hearts at the same time.
Moreover, following this supreme being who can suppress even the Twelve Ancestral Witches with a flick of his hand seems like a good idea.
If given the chance to receive occasional guidance from this Dao Venerable... perhaps one could advance even further.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and said no more.
He had his own plans.
These ancient beings were all extraordinary in origin and possessed immense potential. Even after countless years of neglect, their strength remained extremely high, and each one was a top-tier powerhouse capable of stirring up the winds and clouds of the Immortal Realm.
Bringing them back to the Dao Palace serves two purposes: firstly, it enriches the foundation and adds to the combat power; secondly, their strength is formidable, and they can often provide guidance to the disciples whose cultivation is still shallow.
With a slight thought, he locked onto the five most powerful ancient beings among them. They were all infamous and possessed astonishing Divine Ability abilities, yet they were now as docile as lambs before Han Xuanji.
First is the Evil Qilin. Among the many ancient beings, its cultivation is second to none. Not only does it possess the bloodline of the Ancestral Qilin, but it also traveled through the Chaos and obtained great fortune, so its potential is considerable. Others include the Nine-Headed Dark Nether Serpent, which controls the Extinction Cold Baleful Intent and can freeze everything; the World-Chaos Demonic Ape, whose arms can support the sky and whose strength is boundless, capable of fighting against the Ancestral Witch alone; and the Nine-Headed Dragon and the Heaven-Bearing Turtle, both of whom are at the peak of the Hunyuan Taiji Realm.
At this moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches also emerged from the water, climbing up from the bottom of the Nether Sea.
Looking at Han Xuanji, the eyes of the Ancestral Witch were filled with fear.
This human is terrifying!
"Big brother..."
Houtu looked at Di Jiang and conveyed her thoughts.
Di Jiang's face was ashen. He didn't speak, but stared intently at Han Xuanji, his eyes filled with stubbornness and an inexplicable fear.
Han Xuanji ignored the ancient beings and fixed his gaze on Di Jiang again:
" Di Jiang, I'm giving you two choices."
"First, lead the Witch Race out of the Nether Sea and go beyond the Immortal Realm to carve out a world in the Chaos, live peacefully and do not start wars or disturb the living beings of the Immortal Realm."
I can represent the Heavenly Court to grant the Witch Race official status, allowing them to enjoy the power of a Heavenly Dao lord, subject to the supervision and protection of the Heavenly Dao.
Han Xuanji didn't go too far; killing these Ancestral Witch would bring him no benefit.
These Ancestral Witch were figures who had made contributions to the Immortal Realm, so the Dao Ancestor did not go too far. Di Jiang's breakthrough to Hunyuan Wuji was even part of his plan.
After all, every additional Hunyuan Wuji Immortal Realm member is a good thing.
"Two,"
Han Xuanji paused, his aura still not exuding a powerful aura, but the entire Nether Sea seemed to freeze completely at this moment, an invisible pressure that transcended all concepts slowly spreading.
"I have no choice but to take action personally. I request that you twelve return to that Reincarnation Purgatory and calm down for tens of thousands of years before we discuss this further."
After the words were spoken, silence fell over the world.
The Heavenly Emperor nodded secretly, thinking that Han Xuanji had handled the situation very well.
It's just a question of whether this Ancestral Witch can face reality.
The others watched this scene with amusement.
The Nether Lord chuckled inwardly:
"These Ancestral Witch are still as unruly as before; things will get out of hand quickly."
At this moment, he was glad that he had joined them early; otherwise, after taking over these ancient beings, the power of the Underworld alone, plus his own, would have been insignificant.
Adding flowers to brocade is far less valuable than providing charcoal in the snow.
However, many immortals and gods secretly pondered whether these Ancestral Witch would heed their advice.
These beings, who once aweed the ages with their unparalleled power, have never suffered such "humiliation."
Even the Dao Ancestor himself had to go through a fierce battle and use some strategy to seal them away.
Asking them to leave their Immortal Realm land of immortals, which they had cultivated for countless years, and go to a strange Chaos world is tantamount to cutting off a piece of their own flesh for the Ancestral Witch.
However, what happened next surprised Li Taiqing, Jiang Hao, and all the immortals and gods who were secretly observing.
Di Jiang's massive body trembled slightly, not out of fear, but as if some kind of pride that had sustained him for millennia was finally crumbling in the face of absolute power, and he began to confront reality.
"Oh..."
Di Jiang let out a bitter, relieved laugh.
He looked around at his brothers and sisters, who were also covered in wounds and whose eyes still held fear.
Houtu's eyes held admonition, Gonggong's clenched fists slowly loosened, and the flames surrounding Zhurong dimmed slightly...
They lost, utterly and completely, without a doubt.
It wasn't due to scheming or plotting, nor was it due to favorable timing or location; rather, it was a complete defeat in a head-on confrontation.
Han Xuanji even gave them a chance to struggle and a chance to join forces and form an array.
This gap cannot be bridged by "desperate efforts" or "unwillingness to accept defeat."
