Honghuang: Oh no, the Witch Clan Chief has lost his mind!

As the controversy surrounding the public dismemberment of a corpse by the Celestial Court's Emperor Tianqi continues to escalate...

The attention given to the Wu Clan by the people of the primordial world was higher than ever before.

The news that the Witch Clan could sever corpses spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the primordial world.

It also completely ignited the passion of countless people stuck in bottlenecks.

Those so-called "experts" who work in isolation but make no progress.

In the eyes of these old monsters,

Not taking the shortcut when there is one is truly foolish.

Besides, the spiritual treasures that we consume are just external possessions; they're not as important as improving our strength!

For others with insufficient foundation

Once you sever the three corpses, you can enter a higher realm.

That means they have secured a place in the future primordial order!

The price offered by the witch clan was astonishingly high.

But the Dongwanggong's undeniable success story is right there in front of us.

It's really driving them crazy!

This is like a poor young man seeing someone of his own social class.

He took out all his savings and used connections to get in.

To rise to prominence and reach the pinnacle of life.

How could I not be tempted?!

Even if it means stealing or robbing, you should still try your best!

However, innate spiritual treasures are indeed rare!

Most of the magical treasures have owners, while those without owners are hidden deep in dangerous and secluded places.

It's not something just anyone can get!

Therefore, when normal needs cannot be met...

Unethical and improper activities will then take place behind the scenes!

Suddenly, the customs and atmosphere of the prehistoric world changed drastically.

The previously peaceful prehistoric world suddenly became several times more intense in its battles.

Some possess great treasures, but lack the strength to do so.

Cultivators or forces that are unable to protect themselves.

That would be a real disaster!

Among them was an old acquaintance, the Cihang Daoist of the South China Sea!

He discovered the purple bamboo forest by chance.

Seeing its tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, which would be conducive to spiritual practice, he claimed it as his own.

Later, they also borrowed the power of the witch clan.

He used his power to intimidate others, preventing them from attacking him.

I guess I've finally had a period of peace!

However, this tranquility was completely shattered today.

Several streams of undisguised demonic and malevolent energy...

They directly broke into the makeshift protective array set up outside the purple bamboo forest.

The formation didn't last long before it crumbled like paper!

Cihang Daoren awoke from his meditation with a start.

Holding the jade bottle that was not yet fully refined, he flew out.

Outside the bamboo grove stood three figures exuding demonic aura.

The leader was a black bear spirit, whose cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Two lesser demons of the True Immortal Realm followed behind them.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my sacred ground?"

Haven't you heard of my fame?

Even if all twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together, they couldn't do anything to me.

Don't you have any self-awareness? Get out of here right now!

Cihang was genuinely panicked at this moment.

These people clearly had ill intentions, so he had no choice but to bring out the Ancestral Witch to save face!

This approach worked before, and hopefully it will work this time too!

After all, his cultivation level was only at the early stage of Golden Immortal.

This was because after encountering this bamboo grove, they were worried that someone would come knocking on their door.

The result of my desperate cultivation, thanks to this innate spiritual root!

But now, facing the three fierce demons, especially the black bear spirit,

He felt immense pressure!

The black bear spirit didn't care what he was babbling about.

After greedily inhaling the fragrance emanating from the purple bamboo forest,

He grinned and said:

"Stop trying to fool us. We've been watching you for a long time."

You're nothing but a nobody who's just borrowing someone else's power.

They have absolutely no connection to the Witch Clan!

"I've recently heard that the Ancestral Witches have been collecting spiritual treasures quite frequently."

My boss happens to be lacking a decent innate item to exchange for that opportunity to slay a corpse.

I think your grove of purple bamboo would be quite suitable.

Hand it over obediently!

That way, you'll suffer less physical pain!

Cihang's face turned pale; she knew things were going to turn bad today!

"I can't even handle this underling, and it even has a boss!"

He gripped the jade bottle tightly, still intending to fight for it one more time.

He then activated his magic weapon.

We're about to have a showdown!

"How ungrateful!"

A wolf-headed demon behind the black bear spirit shouted.

"Brother, why waste words with him? Just take him down!"

They even snatched the bottle from his hand.

It might be worth a few dollars!

Before the words were even finished, the wolf-headed demon had already transformed into a black shadow and pounced on Cihang.

The sharp claws stirred up a foul stench, aiming straight for Cihang's face.

Cihang activated the jade bottle, and a faint white light emanated from its mouth, forming a barrier.

The attack was blocked immediately.

The Black Bear Demon saw that Cihang actually had some skill, as she was able to withstand his subordinate's full-force attack.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he immediately joined the battle.

The moment the black bear demon made its move, Cihang was sent flying backward.

He clutched his chest and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

When force failed, he tried reasoning with them.

He then shouted loudly:

"The primordial world has its own rules; even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun speaks of the law of fate."

Aren't you afraid of incurring karmic retribution for your forceful seizures?"

"Rules? Cause and effect? ​​Hahaha!"

Don't make your grandpa bear laugh!

The black bear spirit laughed heartily, and after a few breaths, continued:

"In this world nowadays,"

Only with strength can you talk about rules and cause and effect; otherwise, what are you even talking about?

"Kid, blame your low cultivation level."

But they took what they shouldn't have!

Without waiting for Cihang's reply, he attacked again.

The bear paw slammed sideways towards Cihang from mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, the protective divine light that Cihang had just erected shattered like a bubble.

The unfinished jade bottle flew out of his hand.

He spun around on the spot several times, spitting out blood—a truly spectacular sight!

It immediately wilted!

Seeing that the man was half-dead, the black bear spirit didn't intend to kill him.

He directly instructed his subordinates:

"Uproot this purple bamboo and take it with you!"

Pick up that broken bottle too!

The two henchmen excitedly agreed and began to violently destroy the purple bamboo forest.

The once vibrant purple bamboo was bulldozed and excavated in large swathes.

The once peaceful place was now a mess.

Cihang, severely injured, helplessly watched as the Black Bear Demon's subordinates wreaked havoc.

His eyes were filled with humiliation and helplessness.

He only realized it now, belatedly.

How bold I was when I negotiated with the witch clan that day!

I was also deeply moved by how noble the virtues of the Wu tribe were.

I'm so glad they didn't bother with someone as insignificant as me!

The black bear spirit looked at the gathered purple bamboo spiritual essence and the jade bottle before him.

He nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Excellent, excellent! This time you're sure to receive a great reward from the King."

Let's go!

The three demons transformed into a whirlwind and vanished, leaving behind only a landscape riddled with potholes.

And the seriously injured Cihang.

He struggled to sit up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked toward Mount Buzhou with a complicated expression.

I took a gamble before.

With the help of the witch clan, they enjoyed a period of peace.

Now, because of the witch clan, they're in trouble again.

What a cycle of cause and effect!

The loss of this bamboo grove taught Cihang a harsh lesson.

His early life was too smooth.

So much so that he harbored a glimmer of hope!

"Perhaps, only by joining the ranks of the stronger can we succeed."

Find the true path and the correct methods to enhance your strength.

Only then can one protect oneself in this increasingly chaotic world!

He took a moment to calm his breathing and suppress his injuries.

One last look at the completely destroyed bamboo forest

Without lingering, I turned and left.

They went to seek that glimmer of hope from the darkness!
