If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 77 The Twelve Ancestral Witches Arrive, Crisis Descends

As one of the twelve Ancestral Witches, Gonggong led the Water Tribe, which had many powerful members and was indeed stronger than the Henghe Water Mansion.

"All warriors of the Wu tribe, follow me to conquer Henghe and avenge the Great Wu Master Xiangliu!"

The ancestral witch Gonggong roared, shaking the heavens, and the young men of the witch clan sprang into action at the same moment.

When they heard that they were to avenge Jiu Tou Xiang Liu, they were all filled with righteous indignation.

"Fight! Fight!"

The warriors of the Wu tribe roared and charged out of their tribe, following the ancestral shaman Gonggong as they raced toward the Henghe River.

Ao Bai and his son achieved a great victory, wiping out the entire Wu tribe.

One hundred million members of the witch clan were all massacred!

Ao Bai had no intention of leaving any way out. Now that things had come to this point, he had to wipe them all out.

As he said before, even if they continue to play the submissive role and give up the Henghe Water Palace, the other party probably will not give up.

Nine-Headed Xiangliu is determined to torment Ao Bai and his group, so there's not much to say; we must first eliminate this arrogant great witch.

As for the witch clan's revenge, that's a story for another time.

Since we have to fight the Witch Clan anyway, we might as well wipe out this extremely arrogant Great Witch first.

After the Wu tribe was wiped out, Ao Bai and the Old Dragon King immediately led their army to retreat.

He knew very well the way the Wu tribe did things. If the Nine-Headed Xiangliu was killed, Gonggong, the Ancestral Wu, would definitely not sit idly by, and retaliation would arrive in an instant.

"Father, the Witch Clan is powerful; we must not let our guard down."

Ao Bai secretly communicated with the old Dragon King to discuss their next strategy.

"My son, don't worry. Even if we can't defeat these witch tribes, we can retreat to the East Sea. At worst, we can seek refuge at the Eastern Holy Monarch's Palace. Do you think those witch tribes would dare to invade the Eastern Lands?"

In Ao Feng's view, the Eastern Saint Lord was a being comparable to a Primordial Golden Immortal. No matter how powerful the Witch Clan was, they would not dare to set foot in the Eastern Land.

A Primordial Golden Immortal is far beyond what the current Witch Clan can afford to provoke.

Ao Bai nodded upon hearing this, guessing that even the ancestral witches probably wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. As for the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation," the witch clan probably hasn't mastered it yet.

This grand formation corresponds to the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation" of the demon race, which the demon race has not yet established, let alone studied.

Therefore, the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation" of the Wu Clan most likely never took shape.

This will greatly reduce the pressure on Ao Bai and his team.

As the Ancestral Witches grow stronger, Ao Bai's power will also increase, and at that time, he will have more means to deal with the Witch Clan.

Just as Ao Bai and his son were leading their army in retreat, the ancestral witch Gonggong attacked.

The Yokogawa lineage returned to the Water Palace, but they did not take any further action. Instead, they chose to activate the great formation to protect the Water Palace.

On the other side, Gonggong, the ancestral witch, arrived at the witch tribe. He saw that the place was in ruins and all the tribesmen had been slaughtered. This completely drove Gonggong, the ancestral witch, to lose his mind.

"roar!"

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, roared to the sky. He never expected that one hundred million of his people would be gone just like that!

The ruthlessness of Ao Bai and his son clearly exceeded his expectations.

"Dragons, I will never forgive you!"

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, roared and surveyed the tribe. Sure enough, there wasn't a single survivor.

"Return to Buzhou Mountain immediately and tell our elder brother what's happening here. The rest of you, come with me to Henghe; we can't let them escape!"

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, no longer cared about anything else; he vowed to destroy Ao Feng and his son, and at the same time, to level the Henghe Water Palace.

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, arrived at lightning speed, while Ao Bai was already waiting for news in the water palace.

"Ao Feng, Ao Bai, come out and face your deaths!"

When the Ancestral Witch Gonggong arrived, he roared angrily and unleashed a terrifying attack. Endless waves of water followed him, attacking the Henghe Water Palace together.

Ao Bai and Ao Feng had long been on guard against each other, and the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Da Zhen" had been operating in secret all along.

Sensing the divine power of Gonggong, the great formation immediately erupted with powerful divine light, instantly neutralizing Gonggong's attack.

"Gonggong, you ignorant fool, how dare you cause trouble in my Henghe Water Palace!"

Ao Feng roared and appeared on the water's surface with his subordinates.

Having been invaded by the Nine-Headed Xiangliu before, and now with the ancestral witch Gonggong attacking, this witch clan is simply endless.

When Gonggong, the ancestral witch, saw Ao Feng appear, he had a gloomy expression and scanned all the living beings in the other party's body.

"Ao Feng, you killed my Wu tribe's sons and destroyed the Great Witch Xiang Liu. Today I have come to raze your Henghe Water Palace to the ground and avenge my Wu tribe's sons!"

A powerful aura erupted from Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch. His physical strength was terrifying, especially his control over water, which surpassed even Ao Feng's.

The dragon race is most adept at controlling all the waters under heaven, but Gonggong, the ancestral witch, is no less skilled than the dragon race in this regard.

Seeing this, Ao Bai said sarcastically in a cold voice:

"Your Wu Clan has quite the grand display. From Buzhou Mountain to the East Sea, you've expanded all the way, annihilating countless fellow Daoists of the myriad races of the primordial world. Now that the beings of your own tribe have been killed, you immediately come knocking for revenge. Is it only your Wu Clan that kills others, but others can't kill you?"

The Wu tribe has been expanding rapidly in recent years, uprooting many communities that have stood in their way. As Ao Bai said, the number of lives lost at their hands is already countless.

Many creatures were secretly watching, and they couldn't help but nod in agreement with Ao Bai's words.

Over the years, the Wu tribe has become powerful, and no one dares to confront them.

The clash between the Wu Clan and the Henghe Water Clan had already attracted the attention of many powerful figures.

After all, one was a former overlord, and the other was a powerful clan now. Everyone wanted to know who would win this victory.

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, spits fire from his eyes as he looks at Ao Bai with a mad, man-eating expression.

Ao Bai ignored him and continued:

"This time, your Wu tribe members died in our Henghe River basin, not because we attacked Buzhou Mountain. If you hadn't been so aggressive and moved your tribe to our doorstep, we wouldn't have bothered with you!"

Ao Bai's words left Gonggong, the ancestral witch, speechless.

It is true that Jiutou Xiangliu and the others were killed in the Henghe River area. They had already fought their way to the enemy's doorstep, so were they not allowed to fight back?

"This Ao Bai is indeed a remarkable person. No wonder he and his son have been able to maintain their dominance in the Henghe River region."

Secretly, many creatures nodded in agreement, agreeing that Ao Bai's words made a lot of sense.

Bai Ze stood atop a mountain, observing the commotion below. He also agreed with Ao Bai's words.

Over the years, the Wu tribe has been waging wars in all directions and rapidly expanding its territory, which has long angered many living beings.

Their resources were plundered, their people were slaughtered, and as the witch clan grew stronger, so did the resentment towards them.

"If Ao Bai and his son defeat Gonggong, the other Ancestral Witches will probably come to kill them immediately. At that time, Henghe Water Palace will really be unable to withstand them."

Bai Ze gently shook the feather fan in his hand, his eyes filled with worry.

The Bai Ze clan lives on the coast of the East Sea. If the Henghe Water Palace cannot withstand the attack of the Wu clan, then the Bai Ze clan will inevitably suffer an attack from the Wu clan as well. At that time, they will have no choice but to migrate as a whole clan and leave the place where they have lived for generations.

"Ao Bai, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, was no match for Ao Bai in eloquence, so he stopped wasting words and started fighting directly.

Ao Bai couldn't help but laugh:

"Gonggong, you think you can kill our Henghe lineage? I advise you to go back and cultivate for a few more years!"

Ao Bai was hiding in the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Formation". With the strength of the Ancestral Witch Gonggong, it was impossible for him to open this formation.

"Boom!"

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, launched a powerful attack, this time unleashing his full strength.

However, after the attack, the Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Formation only trembled slightly, and the formation recovered amidst the ripples of the water.

An attack from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal could not possibly break this formation.

This was the first time Chief Bai Ze had seen the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Formation." His eyes lit up, and he was clearly quite surprised by the power of this grand formation.

"Gonggong, it seems your strength is nothing special after all!"

Ao Feng also spoke up, delivering another devastating blow to Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch.

"roar!"

Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch, roared in anger. He had come to avenge the Nine-Headed Xiangliu, but now he was being ridiculed by Ao Bai and his son, while he was powerless to do anything about their great formation.

This enraged Gonggong, the ancestral witch, to the point that he wished he could fight to the death.

At this time, the Wu Clan army had also reached Henghe. Seeing that Gonggong, the Ancestral Wu, had not gained any advantage, these Wu Clan members also joined in and fiercely attacked the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Formation".

With over a billion members of the Wu Clan all mobilized, each unleashing their full strength in the battle, the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Array" began to waver.

Many of these witch clan members are Taiyi Golden Immortals, Golden Immortal level experts, and their strength should not be underestimated.

"It seems the Yokogawa clan is going to suffer a great loss this time!"

"Who can argue with that? Over the years, no one has been able to withstand the onslaught of the Witch Clan, and I suspect that the other eleven Ancestral Witches will arrive soon as well."

"The twelve Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Witch Clan are all physically powerful individuals, and their combat strength is far greater than that of ordinary Great Luo Immortals."

The cultivators discussed amongst themselves, shaking their heads as they watched the two sides clashing.

They clearly didn't have a high opinion of Ao Bai and his son, after all, the strength of the Wu Clan was obvious to all, and in recent years the Wu Clan had been expanding continuously, and no one dared to stop them.

However, Ao Bai and his son showed no signs of panic when faced with the siege of numerous witch clan members.

They activated the great formation with all their might, and after withstanding the enemy's attack, they began a fierce counterattack.

The "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Formation" is inherently a combination of offense and defense. When it launched a counterattack, it immediately inflicted heavy losses on the Wu Clan.

Under Ao Bai and Ao Feng's deliberate targeting, those Taiyi Golden Immortals and Golden Immortal-level Wu Clan members were their primary targets.

Once these core members of the witch clan are eliminated, the pressure on Ao Bai and his group will be greatly reduced.

"Boom!"

Ao Bai and his group unleashed another attack, instantly annihilating a large number of Wu Clan members once again.

This threw Gonggong, the ancestral witch, into a complete panic. He dared not let his people continue to attack, as this would only result in the deaths of more witches, while the Henghe Water Mansion lineage remained unscathed.

"retreat!"

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, was extremely frustrated, but this was the only path he could take.

If they continue fighting, their losses will only become more and more severe.

These more than one billion people may seem like a lot, but they are the result of the Wu tribe accumulating little by little over the years.

The Wu tribe's reproductive ability is not strong; most of them are conceived from the essence blood of Pangu in the Blood Transformation Pool. Therefore, the loss of any member of the Wu tribe is a great pity.

Faced with the temporary retreat of the Wu tribe, Ao Bai and his group did not press their advantage.

They continued to keep the formation running, remaining vigilant about the enemy's every move.

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, led his subordinates back a distance, facing Ao Bai and his group from afar.

"These Ao Feng and his son actually possess such strength!"

Chief Bai Ze was amazed. He originally thought that Ao Feng and his group would have a hard time resisting Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch, but he never expected that they would not only resist but also kill a large number of the Witch Clan's elites.

If the battle continues, it won't be a problem for them to eventually wipe out these witches completely.

At this moment, not only the Bai Ze clan chief was shocked, but also some of the other onlookers.

These beings are mostly cultivators from the vicinity of Henghe. Their clans have lived on the shores of the East Sea for generations. If the Wu Clan invades this place, then everyone will suffer.

Therefore, seeing that Ao Bai and his son had held off the Wu tribe, they were all extremely excited.

Gonggong, the ancestral witch, turned ashen-faced. He had never imagined that this expedition would end like this.

The battle for Yokogawa was so powerful that it had spread to hundreds of millions of miles away, attracting the attention of many living beings.

When the Three Pure Ones in the Kunlun Mountains saw this, they remained still and showed no intention of helping.

"The formation used by Ao Feng and his son is quite powerful. We really underestimated them when they were just sitting and discussing the Dao."

Taiqing sighed, having clearly witnessed the power of the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Da Zhen" just now.

He knew he couldn't break through such a powerful formation.

"Elder brother is right. Ao Feng and his son are no less skilled in array formations than I am. They do have some strength."

Tongtian said that he clearly held Ao Feng and Ao Bai in high esteem.

Just as the three brothers were discussing, the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan arrived together and appeared outside the Henghe Water Palace.

"With all twelve Ancestral Witches present, I fear Ao Feng and his son will find it difficult to extricate themselves from this predicament."

When Taiqing saw the twelve Ancestral Witches descend, he shook his head and sighed.

However, seeing that Ao Feng and his son were in trouble, Tai Qing had no intention of helping them at all.

Ultimately, he didn't have much of a relationship with Ao Feng and Ao Bai.

On the banks of the Henghe River, all twelve ancestral witches descended upon the area. Seeing the heavy losses suffered by the tribe members, their faces were filled with rage.

Ao Bai could clearly see from within the great formation that each of the twelve Ancestral Witches possessed a powerful physical body, and their mere presence created an extremely strong visual impact.

He saw two women among the many ancestral witches, who should be Houtu and Xuanming.

These ancestral witches had distinct personalities, and their identities could be roughly determined at a glance.

For example, the ancestral witch Zhurong was engulfed in flames, with two fire snakes coiled around his arms.

"You aquatic creatures of the Henghe River, how dare you harm my Wu tribe's sons! Today, you will not be spared!"

Dijiang Zuwu said in a deep voice. He strode forward, and the ground shook violently, even causing the Henghe River to sway.

"Destroy them!"

One by one, the Ancestral Witches roared in anger. They had come here to kill the Henghe lineage.
