The Six Witches of Kaiming (23)

After a long time, both Lady Bagui and Jinjiao had been gone for an unknown period of time.

As the sun sets in the Golden Crow and the moon rises in the east.

A few specks of starlight were scattered across this ravaged land.

Just then, Six Paths figures appeared out of thin air in the distance, strolling leisurely across the ravaged land.

Until they reached the very center of the battlefield, the place where the Long Jikui had last stayed.

At this moment, the soil has been completely eroded into obsidian by the lava.

The solid obsidian even reflected the moonlight, giving it an exceptionally cold and eerie feel.

"This battle is truly outrageous..."

As he crouched down and stroked the solid obsidian, the tall, imposing man at the head of the group exclaimed in amazement.

This man was ten feet tall and had a robust build.

He was also holding a witch's staff, dressed like a great witch.

"Now that Wu Yi has almost wiped out Heavenly Deity, there aren't many beings capable of defeating that God-Terrifying Corpse."

"Wu Peng, do you think it could be that Celestial Person from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

This time, the speaker was a thin man with a hunched back and his face covered with various Witch Mark.

Compared to the tall and imposing Wu Peng, this man was shrouded in a gray robe, giving him an eerie appearance at first glance.

"Wu Fan, I think you're overthinking it."

Glancing at the worried Wu Fan, Wu Lü, who was walking at the very back, couldn't help but interrupt.

"You and I are well aware of that Celestial Person's abilities; this is clearly not his doing."

After Wu Lü's reminder, Wu Xiang, the most skilled in combat among the six, spoke up at this moment.

"Wu Lü is right. Neither the initial wind and fire power, nor the terrifying suction force that followed, were the abilities of that Celestial Person."

"However, considering that Celestial Person was an exceptionally quick learner and possessed astonishing creativity..."

"It's not impossible that he might have developed some new abilities over the past year or so."

Taking the initiative to speak, Wu Xiang, whose physique was second only to Wu Peng Wu Di, emphasized.

"Don't forget, Wu Yi was determined to choose him as his successor."

"Furthermore, Wu Yi ultimately died in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."

"Who knows if he left anything for his intended successor?"

Hearing her brothers speak ill of Wu Yi in this way, Wu Yang, the only woman among the six, instinctively spoke up to refute them.

"Wu Yi's Celestial Person as the successor to the Witch King was made with the collective consent of all the high witches."

"We, the Six Witches of Kaiming, also voted in favor..."

"Are you saying this now because you think you misjudged me before?"

Seeing Wu Yang so protective of Wu Yi, Wu Di could only sullenly purse his lips.

He clearly had no intention of getting entangled with his third sister on this issue, as everyone knew she was Wu Yi's most fervent supporter.

Even the Wu Gu among the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain Jidu such a firm stance as her.

"Alright, what's the fuss between the siblings?"

"Besides, Wu Yi is already dead and gone. Is it necessary for us to let a dead person affect the relationship between siblings?"

Slowly rising to his feet, Wu Peng, the leader of the Six Witches of Kaiming, spoke thus.

"That's not what I care about. I just feel that it's one thing for Wu Yi to die on his own, but he didn't even manage to bring that Celestial Person into our camp."

"Now the Witch King Inheritance is interrupted, Nine Cauldrons have disappeared..."

"If we hadn't found the Immortality Cauldron in advance and gained the upper hand, I estimate that Great Xia would have already lost its country."

This is the real reason why Wu Di dislikes Wu Yi.

The other party's actions were extremely sloppy, and they hadn't consulted with the high shamans within the Great Xia territory beforehand.

To be honest, Wu Di felt that if Wu Yi had spoken to the great shamans beforehand, he would never have been betrayed during the battle with the gods of the East Sea.

"Of all the Witch King, Wu Yi was the most extreme and the most unconventional."

"I wouldn't be surprised by anything he does..."

"Besides, are we, this group of great Wu Zhen worthy of his trust?"

Wu Fan muttered something under his breath, and his words successfully silenced the Six Witches of Kaiming.

The Great Xia has stood on this land for thousands of years.

The feud between the gods and the great shamans of the Great Xia Dynasty lasted for thousands of years.

Among the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were those who chose to openly support Wu Yi.

Among the great shamans, there were naturally some who secretly chose to side with the gods.

Therefore, although Wu Yi's actions this time were very crude, the resulting catastrophe far exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, from the perspective of the great shamans, none of them truly believed that Wu Yi was wrong in instigating this catastrophe.

On the contrary, every great shaman had witnessed the suffering of human beings and knew how terrifying the oppression of mortals by the gods could be.

In the past few thousand years, the human population has expanded rapidly, and more and more Innate Divine Being have been born from it.

This was barely enough to balance the gods' exploitation of mortals.

However, this still cannot fundamentally solve the essential problem of humanity's struggle for survival.

In this context, it might be an exaggeration to say that every shaman is a staunch "human supremacist".

However, to say that only one out of every two great witches is a "human supremacist" would mean that there are definitely many who slip through the net.

As long as it doesn't affect the Great Xia, even the greatest calamity is nothing in the eyes of the Great Witches.

If this catastrophe could also cleanse those non-human spirits and kingdoms, it would be considered an unexpected bonus in the eyes of the great shamans.

Why do you all always have to bring up the most sensitive topics?

Seeing the atmosphere fall into an awkward silence, Wu Lü, whose stance was relatively neutral, spoke up helplessly.

"Wu Yi is now a thing of the past..."

"At the very least, we need to figure out how to clean up the mess he left behind before we resurrect him."

"He slaughtered all the powerful Heavenly Deity, and the ordinary deities were demoted to Innate Divine Being due to the cataclysmic changes in the heavens and earth."

"But this is destined to be short-lived; the order of heaven and earth will eventually be restored."

"For those gods, there are now only two safe zones: one is the Great Xia, and the other is the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"The former is subject to our control; unless absolutely necessary, I doubt any deity would voluntarily go to Great Xia."

"Although the latter is guarded by Celestial Person, it also possesses the true Way of the Celestial Person, capable of rebuilding the connection between the gods and the heavens and earth."

"So if we don't want to fall behind in this survival competition..."

"We must become more powerful than those gods before the order of heaven and earth is restored."

At this point, Wu Lü paused slightly before continuing.

"The Elixir of Immortality is our only hope of surpassing the gods."

"We risked using the Immortality Cauldron, and disregarded the dangers of using the Dragon Kingdom's giants as experimental subjects, thus betraying our covenant with the gods..."

"No matter what, we cannot give up on that one and only God-Terrifying Corpse that came close to success."

The last sentence was spoken by Wu Peng, the eldest of the Six Witches of Kaiming.

Upon hearing Wu Peng's words, the high shamans present Facial Features glances, all seeing hesitation in each other's eyes.

If that "God-Terrifying Corpse" really falls into the hands of the Celestial Person, they have no confidence that they can take it back.

"How about we find a way to cultivate another God-Terrifying Corpse?"
