Chapter 62: The Lich Kings Prepare for War, Tongtian Seeks Help
Enraged by the deaths of the nine little golden crows, Taiyi overpowered Dijiang. Fortunately, the four ancestral witches arrived in time. Seeing that he could no longer gain the upper hand, Taiyi could only utter a harsh threat and return to the Thirty-Third Heaven with the corpses of the nine little golden crows.
After Taiyi left, Dijiang and the others hurriedly took the critically injured Houyi back to the Pangu Palace. Houyi was now extremely important to the Wu tribe, and they couldn't afford to let anything happen to him.
"Hou Yi shooting down the sun? The climax of the Lich War is about to begin!" Inside the Pangu Palace, Xuan Chu looked at the heavily injured and dying Hou Yi and understood that the Lich War was about to reach its final battle.
"Uncle, Hou Yi is so badly injured that we are helpless. We hope you can lend a hand," Di Jiang said to Xuan Chu.
"Don't worry, such an injury is nothing to me. Hou Yi, go to the Pangu Blood Pool to heal. With the help of the Pangu Blood Pool, you will recover within a thousand years," Xuan Chu said.
"Thank you, Great Ancestor Witch!" Hou Yi said, supporting his weakened body.
"Alright, go quickly!" With that, Xuan Chu waved his hand, and Hou Yi entered the Pangu Blood Pool.
"Nine of Emperor Jun's ten sons died at the hands of Hou Yi. The demon race will never let this go. You must prepare yourselves. The decisive battle between the demon and the witch race is not far off." Xuan Chu said to the eleven ancestral witches. The demon race lost nine princes. This is an irreconcilable blood feud. In addition, the old grudges between the demon and witch races have long been irreconcilable. This battle is unavoidable.
"Uncle, we have long been well prepared for the battle against the demon race. Our only concern is that Hou Yi is seriously injured. If he cannot recover in time, he may not be able to cooperate with us to set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. Without the phantom of Father God, we may not be able to withstand the demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation." Di Jiang said with a frown. They had long been mentally prepared for the decisive battle against the demon race. The biggest problem now is whether Hou Yi can recover before the decisive battle. You must know that the Wu race with the phantom of Pangu is not on the same level as those without the phantom of Pangu.
"Don't worry, the demon race isn't ready for a decisive battle yet. This great war won't break out anytime soon, and Hou Yi will recover without any problem," Xuan Chu said. Xuan Chu knew that the demon race slaughtered the human race in order to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword. Now that the Witch-Slaying Sword hasn't been successfully forged, even if Di Jun is furious, he wouldn't dare to start a decisive battle lightly.
"The most urgent thing right now is for you to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. The higher your cultivation level, the stronger the Pangu phantom will be, and the higher your chances of winning will be. Do you understand?" Xuan Chu said.
"Uncle, rest assured, we understand!" the eleventh ancestral witch replied.
In the Lingxiao Palace of the Thirty-Third Heaven, Emperor Jun was heartbroken as he looked at the corpses of his nine sons. After receiving Taiyi's message, Emperor Jun returned to the Thirty-Third Heaven from the Sun Star as soon as possible. However, as soon as he entered the Lingxiao Palace, he saw Xihe weeping over the corpses of her nine sons, and her youngest son trembling in Taiyi's arms, looking like he was still in shock.
"Demon Emperor, the nine children died so tragically, you must avenge them!" Upon seeing Di Jun arrive, Xi He threw herself into his arms and said.
"Xihe, don't worry, I will not let my children die in vain. I will definitely offer Hou Yi's head as a sacrifice for my children," Dijun said, patting Xihe on the back.
"Hmm!" Xihe nodded.
"Changxi, take your sister and Xiaoshi to the back hall to rest. I have something to discuss with my second brother," Dijun said to Changxi, who was standing next to Taiyi.
"Yes, Demon Emperor." Chang Xi replied and left with Xi He and the tenth Golden Crow.
After Xihe and Changxi left, Dijun asked Taiyi, "Taiyi, what exactly happened? Why did they leave Tanggu? And why did they go to the Wu tribe?"
Taiyi recounted everything he knew to Dijun. After listening, Dijun looked at the corpses of the nine little golden crows and said angrily, "I told you countless times not to leave Tanggu, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you're all dead. But I won't let you die in vain. Don't worry, you won't be alone on the road to the Yellow Springs. I'll send Houyi to join you."
"Brother, the Witch Clan slaughtered nine of my nephews, an irreconcilable feud. Now that Hou Yi is seriously injured by me, the Witch Clan's Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is incomplete. This is a golden opportunity for our Demon Clan. Why don't we invade the Primordial World now?" Taiyi said. Hou Yi was the successor to Hou Tu. Now that Hou Yi is seriously injured, the Witch Clan cannot set up the Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. The Demon Clan has the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Demon God Phantom, which is enough to destroy the Witch Clan.
However, Di Jun shook his head and said, "Second brother, although I also want to destroy the Wu Clan and complete the grand ambition of our demon race, now is not the time. Although Hou Yi is seriously injured, don't forget that the Wu Clan still has an existence on par with the Dao Ancestor. In addition, Hou Tu is the representative of the Earth Dao. Perhaps they have a secret method to quickly heal Hou Yi's injuries. I still want to wait until the Wu-Slaying Sword is forged before we fight the Wu Clan."
"Brother, how is the forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword progressing? When will it be completed?" Taiyi pressed. Dijun had been forging the Witch-Slaying Sword for a long time, but he had never heard of any progress.
Di Jun sighed and said, "Originally, it would have been completed in a thousand years, but for the sake of our children, I was forced to stop the process. Even if we resume the process, it will take at least three thousand years to complete."
"I'm sorry, elder brother, it's all my fault." Taiyi felt somewhat guilty upon hearing that the birth of the Witch-Slaying Sword was delayed because of his message.
"Second brother, you don't need to blame yourself. They are my sons. If I didn't come back if something happened to them, what kind of father would I be? It's only three thousand years, which is just a blink of an eye for us cultivators," Di Jun comforted Taiyi.
"Brother, I understand. Please focus on forging the Witch-Slaying Sword. I'll take care of everything else. I will definitely protect the demon race and Xiao Shi," Taiyi said.
"Taiyi, thank you for your hard work. I'll head back to Sun Star to continue forging the Witch-Slaying Sword. As for your sister-in-law, arrange for Changxi to keep her company." Dijun nodded and said.
Just as the Wu and Yao races were preparing for war, Tongtian came from Jin'ao Island to meet Xuanchu at Pangu Palace.
"Tongtian, why are you here at Pangu Palace instead of managing the Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island?" Xuan Chu asked Tongtian.
Tongtian said, "Uncle, I have a matter to ask for your assistance with."
"What is it?" Xuan Chu asked.
Tongtian said, "Uncle, I have taken in two disciples. They are brothers with good aptitude and top-notch backgrounds. I originally intended to make them the first and second disciples of the Jie Sect. However, they are from the Phoenix Clan and have been tainted by the karma of the Phoenix Clan. The Jie Sect does not have a treasure that can truly suppress the fortune. If they are further tainted by the karma of the Phoenix Clan, it may affect the fortune of the Jie Sect. However, the aptitude and background of these two are outstanding in the Jie Sect. I do not want to bury their talents, so I hope that you can give me some guidance."
"Born of the Phoenix Clan? What are their names?" Xuan Chu could only think of two people with such outstanding backgrounds, born of the Phoenix Clan, and being brothers, so he quickly asked Tong Tian for confirmation.
"Uncle, the elder brother is named Kong Xuan, and the younger brother is named Jin Peng. They are both sons of Yuan Feng," Tongtian said.
It really is those two! Xuan Chu thought to himself. Kong Xuan and Jin Peng were born from the Five Elements Qi and Yin-Yang Qi of Yuan Feng, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, during the Dragon-Han Calamity. In terms of talent, they are the most outstanding among the new generation. Kong Xuan, in particular, went head-to-head with a saint during the Investiture of the Gods and was known as the number one person below the saint. I never expected that the two of them would become disciples of the Tongtian Jie Sect. It is truly an unexpected joy.
