Those with ulterior motives can't fool me

Looking at the well-hidden witch clan within Mount Jiuxian, Guang Chengzi couldn't help but twitch his brow, wondering how he had offended them.

Almost subconsciously, Guang Chengzi felt that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were targeting him. After all, he was the chief disciple of Yuxu Palace, and killing him would definitely deal a huge blow to Kunlun Mountain.

But after thinking about it carefully, Guang Chengzi felt that it was not that bad.

Even if the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches have a grudge, they shouldn't bother with a junior like him, right? Such bullying of the weak by the strong will not only fail to save face, but will also further anger the Three Pure Ones and invite ridicule from all the gods of the primordial world.

Moreover, he is the master of Jiuxian Mountain and the master of Peach Blossom Spring. If the Twelve Ancestral Witches really wanted to kill him in Jiuxian Mountain, they would at least have to send one or two great witches over, right?

Looking at the witch clan member who was squatting tightly at the entrance of Peach Blossom Cave, Guang Chengzi didn't know what to say.

He's just a Golden Immortal sorcerer, yet he dares to ambush him? Does he really think he's someone without any backing?

Even if Guang Chengzi didn't notice this strangeness, he had many magical treasures on him, and any few of them would be enough to resist such a sneak attack. At that time, he would naturally be able to crush his opponent.

Guang Chengzi had no interest in playing the fool or showing off his abilities in front of others. In any case, apart from those few old peach trees on Mount Jiuxian, no one watched his performance anyway.

With a flick of his fingers, a lotus-shaped sword flew out from his sleeve, and with a twist, it transformed into a fragrant lotus-shaped sword pellet.

The sword pellet floated up and down, buzzing, and a strange fragrance wafted from the void, unconsciously depriving Hou Ji of all his senses. For a moment, it was as if a lotus pond under the moonlight appeared before him. The bright moon hung high, lotus flowers bloomed, and the pond was filled with lush green water, tranquil and beautiful. He was so captivated that he couldn't help but be mesmerized.

But in the blink of an eye, the surge of qi and blood in Hou Ji's body jolted him awake. At that moment, a small lotus flower was already blooming in front of him.

On the petals of this lotus flower, there lingered sharp sword energy so intense that it was difficult to neutralize. Just a few glances were enough to make Hou Ji feel his hair stand on end. Even though he was in the earth's veins, he felt that if a few sword energies flew over, they could easily sever his head as easily as cutting a melon.

The bodies of the Wu people are extremely sturdy, and every move they make is imbued with the power of heaven and earth. Even though they cannot use magical treasures or divine weapons, their mere bodies are enough to crush countless magical artifacts.

But this is both their strength and their weakness; while extremely robust, the physical bodies of the Wu tribe are also extremely precious.

If they were only slightly injured, it would be fine to suffer a minor physical wound, but a severe injury like cutting off a hand would be tantamount to ruining their path to cultivation, directly damaging their Great Dao and making it difficult to cultivate.

Unlike ordinary immortals who can regenerate their bodies freely, even if their bodies are ground to dust, as long as their souls remain, they can still be resurrected.

Unless the Wu tribe achieves the body of a Great Witch, they will not be afraid of being cut to the skin. But if a head, the essence of the Six Yang, is cut off alive, it is still death.

Therefore, if we were to fight against the Witch Clan, the first thing we would do is to cut off their heads. Apart from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, any member of the Witch Clan who was beheaded would die immediately.

Otherwise, the Witch Clan would be too invincible, and the Demon Clan might as well give up fighting them and just surrender.

That's why Hou Ji was so obedient when faced with this sword pellet, even walking out of Jiuxian Mountain without the slightest struggle.

Tai Zhen Jian Wan was very satisfied with Hou Ji's obedience. A small lotus flower quietly landed on Hou Ji's brow, bringing him a touch of vitality and making his heart feel cold.

After he left Jiuxian Mountain, he saw a tall, elegant Taoist standing in the sky before him. The Taoist seemed to have the Dao of Heaven and Earth contained in his eyes. Auspicious clouds were born beneath his feet, supporting the Taoist in the sky. It seemed that he was far away from the chaos of the earth, no longer in contact with the mortal world, and leaving behind all the upside-down illusions.

This person was none other than Guang Chengzi.

As the witch clan emerged, Guang Chengzi slightly extended his finger, and the lotus flower on Hou Ji's brow immediately fell into his fingertip. The two shared the same aura, clearly indicating a close bond.

Looking at the Wu tribe in front of him, Guang Chengzi said calmly, "What is your name? Could it be that one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches sent you here? If you are obedient, I will send you back to the embrace of your father, Pangu."

But if you spout nonsense, I'll immediately imprison you within chaos, so that you'll forever gaze upon the primordial world, never able to approach it, and never able to merge with Pangu. Do you understand?

It must be said that Guang Chengzi's move was the most lethal to the Wu tribe. It wasn't just hitting the snake where it hurt; it directly killed the snake.

Hou Ji, who had originally planned to remain defiant to the death and make sarcastic remarks, immediately shut his mouth in terror after hearing the other party's conditions. Although he hadn't spoken yet, he had implicitly accepted them.

For the witch clan, death is something they yearn for from the moment they are born, because death does not bring them an end, but rather complete fulfillment.

To be able to completely merge with Pangu—what a wonderful thing that would be!

But if one were imprisoned in the Chaos, never to enter the Primordial World again, gazing upon it but unable to merge with Pangu, the terrifying torment would send shivers down Hou Ji's spine just thinking about it, so naturally he dared not say anything more.

My name is—

Hou Ji opened his mouth to answer, but was interrupted by Guang Chengzi with great speed, who said, "You must swear in the name of Pangu that you will tell everything you know without reservation. If there is even a single falsehood, you will never be one with Pangu in this life."

Hou Ji, who had originally intended to tell a few lies, admired Guang Chengzi upon hearing this and could only reluctantly make the vow before beginning to tell everything he knew.

Guang Chengzi was not afraid that the other party was a treacherous person who would break such a vow. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he had already begun to secretly browse through the other party's memories and use the secret method of expounding the heavens to dig out his secrets.

The Great Dao of Expounding Heaven can even explain the highest heavens, let alone these little secrets of cultivators? Naturally, one can easily find the secrets one needs.

Therefore, the most powerful mind-reading being in the primordial world was not Rahu, nor the former Hongjun, but Yuanshi Tianzun.

Therefore, it is best not to have any secrets in front of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, because even the Heavenly Dao cannot hide anything from this Jade Void Palace Master, let alone him.

In just a short while, Guang Chengzi completely understood everything.

So he suffered an undeserved misfortune. It was this person who, upon seeing his return, became greedy and rash, wanting to make a great contribution ahead of time, which is why he was arrested prematurely.

"Fortunately, this person struck first; otherwise, if Hou Yi had arrived, I would have had to temporarily avoid his attack and go to Kunlun Mountain to ask for reinforcements."

After understanding all this, Guang Chengzi was quite moved. If it were an ordinary Golden Immortal, it would be fine, but he now possessed many treasures and had the support of Jiuxian Mountain, so naturally he had nothing to fear.

But Hou Yi was no ordinary great shaman. He was known as a divine archer within the shaman clan. He once drew his bow and fired nine arrows at once, killing a great demon god of the demon clan.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches held this archer in high esteem, simply because he too was born from Pangu's heart and was tainted with a bit of Pangu's essence blood.

Although not formed from the essence of the heart and blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, it was still quite different from the ordinary witch tribe. If Hou Yi had not swallowed the essence of Hou Tu, he would probably have established his own tribe instead of joining the Hou Tu tribe.

If such a being were to attack Jiuxian Mountain, Guang Chengzi would have no choice but to flee immediately.

However, after learning about Houtu's plan, even Guang Chengzi had to admire this youngest ancestral witch. Among all the ancestral witches, Houtu was probably the most daring.

They actually wanted to bury all the blessed lands and create a second Mount Buzhou!
