Nu Wa Leaves Hong Huang, Human Race Enters Witch Tribe

"Good!"

"Grandpa Dao Ancestor, were you eavesdropping just now? Why did you show up so promptly?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I wasn't! I wasn't eavesdropping!" Hong Jun turned his head to look at Liu Mang, who had an innocent expression, and said urgently.

That scoundrel, with so many people present witnessing this, no one else spoke up, yet you think you're the only one with sharp eyes and figured it out, huh?

Hong Jun looked at the suspicious expressions on everyone's faces and coughed twice before speaking.

"Ahem, I just suddenly remembered something I hadn't yet instructed, so I came over to remind you. It just so happened that I arrived at the right time!"

As Hong Jun's voice fell, the scene fell into a long silence.

Just as he was wondering why no one was asking any questions, he turned his head and found everyone staring at him with unblinking eyes, as if asking, You remembered something, why don't you say it?

What are all these expressions? Don't they know I just found an excuse to give myself an out?

Hong Jun's eyes darted around for a long time, and finding no excuse, his gaze swept around and happened to land on Jieyin and Zhunti, who were shining brightly beside him.

"It's decided, it's you two!"

"You two are so bright, you've practically blinded me! You will bear this karma!"

With this thought, Hong Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, saying.

"Listen carefully, you two! The West will prosper greatly, but the day of its great prosperity is not in this epoch. Do not take this opportunity to commit evil deeds in Hong Huang. If I discover that your intentions are impure, hmph! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After Hong Jun finished speaking, everyone present looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with unfriendly expressions.

If the occasion were different, the two might have had to leave something behind to escape.

Jieyin and Zhunti were utterly bewildered after hearing this.

What? What did we do? We didn't do anything! More importantly, we didn't even think about it! How could we be taking advantage of the situation to commit evil deeds?

Who did we offend! Why are we being scolded!

"I'm wronged..." Jieyin's mournful cry was cut short when he noticed Hong Jun's murderous glare. Frightened, Jieyin quickly changed his tune.

"I am willing to obey the Dao Ancestor's command! And I will always keep it in mind!"

After hearing Jieyin's solemn words, Hong Jun's expression slightly improved. "Hmph, I haven't even complained, and you dare to make such a fuss. I'll let it go since you reacted quickly, otherwise, I'd invite you to listen to the Dao outside the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

Jieyin, who had broken out in a cold sweat from Hong Jun's glare, looked at Hong Jun's satisfied expression and couldn't help but sigh in relief in his heart. "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, or I would have been finished here."

Looking at Zhunti, who was still standing there in a daze, Jieyin couldn't help but feel a flood of emotions. "Being slow-witted has its advantages. Junior Brother, you almost lost your Senior Brother!"

Jieyin nudged the stunned Zhunti, who then finally reacted and repeatedly told Hong Jun that he would diligently heed his teachings.

Afterward, Jieyin pulled Zhunti and bowed apologetically to everyone present, offering several assurances. Only after everyone's expressions had slightly softened did they feel relieved.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and saw the unspeakable grievance in each other's eyes. A wave of sorrow washed over them. If it weren't for the crowd and the Dao Ancestor being present, they would have embraced each other and wept.

Hong Jun nodded with satisfaction at the two and prepared to leave.

If he stayed any longer, Liu Mang might find another handle to grasp, and it would be difficult to find another scapegoat then.

He, Hong Jun, the dignified spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, had almost lost all his face.

Zhu Rong looked at Hong Jun's gradually fading face with a complex expression.

"Fourth Brother..." Xuan Ming said softly, her hand on Zhu Rong's arm with worry.

Zhu Rong smiled slightly at Xuan Ming and reassured her, then looked at Di Jiang and said, "Big Brother, let's go. I don't know if those little guys in the tribe have taken advantage of my absence to burn down my house again."

In the Twelve Ancestral Witches' tribes, Zhu Rong's tribe acted the most like him, so they always caused the most trouble.

It was either fighting with other tribes today or fighting amongst themselves tomorrow, burning down their own houses. There was never a moment of peace.

Di Jiang nodded upon hearing this. He cupped his hands towards Nu Wa and couldn't wait to pull the Ancestral Witches away.

Zhu Rong's tribe was the closest to his, and his tribe was always the first to suffer.

Now that Zhu Rong mentioned it, he couldn't help but worry.

He didn't care if Zhu Rong's tribe burned down their own houses, but if they burned down his house, he would be heartbroken.

Instantly, Di Jiang quickened his pace.

Nu Wa's eyes lit up as she watched the departing Ancestral Witches. An idea surfaced in her mind. She glanced at Liu Mang, who was idle beside her.

Hmm, as expected, he's moved closer. I don't even need to think to know he quietly moved over after confronting Hong Jun while everyone was distracted.

You're serious about being a nuisance, and you're equally serious about being a coward.

Nu Wa thought as she looked at Liu Mang: I can't interfere in Hong Huang, but some people can! Moreover, wouldn't the impact be even greater if this guy was unleashed?

"Sister Hou Tu, wait!"

Nu Wa's call of "wait" caused the fading human face in the sky to seem to waver and solidify again.

Hou Tu was sadly following behind Di Jiang. Hong Jun's appearance had prevented Nu Wa from going to the Witch Tribe, which was indeed displeasing, but there was nothing she could do.

Even a Saint like Nu Wa had backed down. She was one of the weakest among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, so what could she do?

Hearing Nu Wa's call, Hou Tu turned her head with a puzzled expression, looking at Nu Wa questioningly.

Nu Wa looked at Hou Tu and slowly began to speak.

"Currently, the Human Race has just been born and possesses no strength whatsoever. It will surely be difficult for them to survive in Hong Huang, and they might even face death and extinction."

Upon hearing Nu Wa's words, Hou Tu couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, although the Human Race had existed for an epoch, they were not numerous among the myriad races of Hong Huang.

Even though three thousand of them were blessed with the Innate Dao Body, they had no cultivation. To protect themselves in the fiercely competitive Hong Huang would undoubtedly be a fool's dream.

Hou Tu understood, but still didn't know what Nu Wa intended to do.

Nu Wa glanced at Hong Jun and continued, "I originally wished to personally care for the Human Race, but the Dao Ancestor stated that Saints are forbidden from entering Hong Huang, leaving me with good intentions but no power."

"I wish to emulate the Witch Tribe, dividing the Human Race into several tribes and sending some of them to the Witch Tribe for care."

Nu Wa smiled and looked at Hou Tu, asking, "What do you think, Sister Hou Tu?"

"I'm willing! Of course, I'm willing!"

Before Hou Tu could speak, Di Jiang interjected. Nu Wa's actions, while not as good as her personally coming to the Witch Tribe, were not far off.

With this portion of the Human Race in the Witch Tribe, the relationship between the two would become even closer.

"Thank you, Sister Nu Wa. If you have the chance, you must visit the Witch Tribe and let me fulfill my duties as a host."

"That will happen!"

The two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

After speaking, Nu Wa turned to Fu Xi and asked.

"Elder Brother, now that I have proven Dao and become a Saint, I must leave Hong Huang. Will you accompany me, or do you have other plans?"
