Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 136: The East China Sea Confrontation Ends
If the only visitors were Queen Mother of the West and Wangshu, Hou Tu would feel that the situation was a bit tricky, but there was no way she would get angry and lose her composure.

Among all the gods in the ancient times, there has only been one who can make Houtu's heart surge with murderous intent, and that is Nuwa, the lord of Fengqi Mountain, the mother of the ancient earth, the great god of the earth who also came from the Dihuang Palace.

In fact, as one of the holders of the Three Emperors' legal system, the de facto leader of the Witch Clan, and the ruler of the earth, Hou Tu, the Mother of the Underworld, is more cunning than many people think.

If she didn't have this kind of mentality and scheming, she probably wouldn't have been able to successfully take charge of the Earth Emperor Palace. She has held on to the Earth Emperor position for many years, and even though there were many spying people, no strong person had ever been able to succeed.

However, few people know that all of Hou Tu's wisdom and strategy, in order to avoid being affected, are based on one thing -

That means this matter has nothing to do with Nuwa.

In fact, in the long years of the past, there have been countless examples to prove that as long as Hou Tu had never met Nuwa, she would be a graceful and elegant goddess, but as long as she met Nuwa, she would definitely turn into the netherworld demon god and the supreme earthly evil.

However, this situation is normal.

After all, there are too many grievances between the two earth goddesses. Not only are they former fellow disciples who have become enemies, they are also enemies of the Great Dao. For a long time, the camps of the two sides have been very different.

Not to mention Hou Tu, even Nuwa was not rational enough when confronting Hou Tu most of the time. She would often go all out without any scruples just to completely suppress the latter.

The dispute between the two earth goddesses had become so acute that it was almost impossible to conceal and would break out regardless of the occasion.

For example, right now——

"Junior sister, after all these years, you haven't changed at all. Even if I have more time, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the trick of confusing right and wrong."

High in the sky, Nuwa looked down at Hou Tu. It was rare that she felt in a good mood when facing the latter, so she couldn't help but say this.

"is it?"

"I think Senior Sister's mouth is beyond the reach of others. She doesn't care about right or wrong. Who among the gods in Luotian can compare to Senior Sister?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Tu immediately retorted. At this moment, the two goddesses didn't even care about their manners and they were busy talking to each other, making it very lively.

Fortunately, all the twelve ancestor witches were present, and Hou Tu was not so angry as to lose her mind as soon as she saw Nuwa. Therefore, after a heated debate, she finally found her own way of thinking. In the end, whether facing Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West, or Emperor Jun, no matter what they said, Hou Tu only had one sentence to say.

"Emperor Xichen provoked our Wu Sect first. The two families have a personal grudge. It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. The demon clan is not allowed to interfere. It has nothing to do with the Dongji Ancestral Court."

Faced with Hou Tu's attitude, the people from Qi Yu's side who came to support her couldn't help but feel a headache. No one would want to have a real fight with real swords and guns. The Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan were one body, and it was rumored that they also had a great formation of gods and demons in the sky, which was invincible in the world.

Without knowing the truth or the details, even Di Jun and a group of powerful demons had no intention of risking their lives to test the strength of the witch clan.

Emperor Jun was like this, and Queen Mother of the West, Nuwa, Qi Yu and others were even more so. They all had their own concerns and actually did not want the situation to escalate further. Right now, they were stuck with the Witch Clan and were caught in a dilemma.

As for the Witch Clan, at the moment, they actually don't want to start a war directly.

Does the so-called invincible Dutian Shensha formation really exist? The answer is yes, it is one of Pangu's inheritances, but it is only a semi-finished product.

Since the emergence of the Witch Sect, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have rehearsed this formation countless times, but they have never been able to truly combine the formation, so that the power contained in the Dutian Shensha Formation has not been fully released, and there are some defects. Otherwise, with the personalities of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, how can they be obedient subjects of the Heavenly Court?
They would have fought to the sky a long time ago. Even if they could not really overthrow the world, they had already punished the demon clan and the Sun Palace. How could they allow Di Jun to continue to jump around under their noses?
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I can’t!

Moreover, Taiyi suppressed the prestige of Honghuang for half a Yuanhui, and his accumulated power is indeed profound. The Wu Clan is well aware that their excuses are actually somewhat untenable, and naturally it is impossible for them to overturn the table brazenly. Otherwise, if they are punished by the Heavenly Court, they will be the only ones who will suffer!

In addition, the fact that the Queen Mother of the West opened her mouth about the Eastern Ancestral Temple but kept silent about the Three Pure Ones was probably one of the main reasons why the Twelve Ancestral Witches finally suppressed their murderous intent.

After all, the invincibility of the Three Pure Ones has indeed been demonstrated to the world. No one wants to confront the Three Pure Ones after the Tianhe incident, not even the Twelve Ancestral Witches are an exception.

The Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen usually don't take action much, but when it comes to the matter of Tianhe, didn't the three brothers show their saintliness?

In this situation, who would still like to bet whether the Three Pure Ones will take action because the Emperor of Xuanmen is being surrounded and attacked?

The Wumen doesn't want to gamble.

This is also the core reason why the tone set by the Twelve Ancestral Witches before they got too excited was just a test rather than a kill.

Therefore, in the end, the Twelve Ancestral Witches still had some thoughts of retreating in their hearts, but due to emotional considerations, they were unable to do so.

At this time, the value of Qi Yu as the party involved was naturally fully demonstrated.

He knew in his heart that given the current situation, this battle might not be fought, and the decisive battle between the two races of wizards and liches would never break out on the eve of Taiyi's enlightenment.

Moreover, although these people on our side are allies, they may not be completely reliable. It would be wise to quit while we are ahead.

Thinking of this, Qi Yu immediately took the initiative to step forward and said.

"Today is a grand event for our human race. I am the Holy Master of the human race. I do not wish to commit murder and taint the pure, holy and peaceful atmosphere of the East China Sea."

"If you Wu clan are still sensible and know even a little bit about fate, you should retreat from now on and never attack again."

"As for today's grudge, one day when the Five Directions Dao Palace appears, you and I can fight it out on the Nine Heavens battlefield. At that time, we can settle today's affairs."

"Emperor Jiang, Hou Tu, what do you think of what I have said?"

"If you don't agree, I'll fight you in the East China Sea! Although I don't have the tyranny of your Wu Sect, I'm not afraid of you!"

After hearing this, the twelve ancient witches looked at each other, and it was Hou Tu who stepped out from the crowd and spoke.

"Okay, Emperor Xichen, I will follow your instructions today and call off the troops."

"But remember, your deeds of humiliating my brothers and disrespecting the gods of my Witch Clan are not over yet. One day on the battlefield, I will settle accounts with you!"
