Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 73 Detaining the Wrongfully Convicted!

The disciples of the Western Sect looked at the group of ox-headed and horse-faced figures dressed as underworld witches, their faces filled with confusion and even a sense of helplessness.

If you've planned something for a long time, only to find out at the last minute that it's not what you expected, anyone would be completely baffled.

When a disciple of the Western Sect couldn't help but ask, he found that the group of bull-headed and horse-faced demons were completely disdainful.

"What are you doing? Can't you see we're detaining wronged souls? As underworld servants, this is our duty!" a minotaur said dismissively.

"Detaining wronged souls?"

The Western Christian followers were stunned, and could only watch helplessly as Ox-Head and Horse-Face continued to imprison one wronged soul after another.

Before long, the wronged souls that had gathered there were all swept away. It was naturally impossible for the Western Christian disciples to then try to convert the wronged souls.

"You can't do this!"

Seeing the wronged souls being detained by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the disciples of the Western Sect realized what was happening and immediately spoke out indignantly.

These days, the disciples of the Western Sect have been saving wronged souls at the gates of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and have gained quite a lot. How could they just watch their merits slip away?

"You think you can't do that? Who do you think you are? You think you can stop us underworld officials from performing our duties?" The Minotaur Witch Clan said dismissively.

"It's your duty to detain wronged souls in the cycle of reincarnation, but this isn't the cycle of reincarnation. What kind of duty are you performing?"

The disciples of the Western Sect were naturally dissatisfied. The Witch Clan of the Underworld had already humiliated them enough in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and now they were even coming to their doorstep.

"Hahaha! You Western Sect disciples are indeed ignorant. As the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians of the underworld, we have the responsibility to detain wronged souls."

Not to mention the six realms of reincarnation, even in the Western Lands, as long as there are wronged souls, we can still detain them.

"Get out of our way, or you'll face the consequences!" The Minotaur remained arrogant and haughty.

Many Western Christian disciples were almost unable to contain themselves and wished they could tear this Minotaur to pieces.

You know what, the Witch Clan is absolutely born to attract hatred; there's not a trace of acting in their performances.

All the disciples of the Western Sect unconsciously focused their gaze on Ksitigarbha. The current situation was not in their plans, and they did not know how to deal with it for a moment.

Ksitigarbha remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by the appearance of these witches, and even had a faint smile on his lips.

"In that case, let's go somewhere else!" Ksitigarbha said.

The scope of the Six Realms of Reincarnation is extremely vast, and at this time, Ksitigarbha and other disciples of the Western Sect are at the entrance to the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

The entrance is the necessary passage for countless wronged souls entering the cycle of reincarnation. The Western religion finds its most effective method of guiding these souls here.

However, this doesn't mean there are no wronged souls outside of this place. Even a little further away from the cycle of reincarnation, you can still find quite a few wronged souls.

The number will definitely be smaller, but the number of disciples in the Western Sect is not that large to begin with, so the impact is not very significant.

Under the guidance of Ksitigarbha, the disciples of the Western Sect once again began to liberate wronged souls not far from the cycle of reincarnation.

But soon, these disciples of the Western Sect discovered that the group of ox-headed and horse-faced demons from the underworld had reappeared before them.

Whenever a wronged soul appears, Ox-Head and Horse-Face will rush up immediately and imprison the soul, giving the Western Sect disciples no chance to convert it.

Although the mourning staff and soul-hooking rope in the hands of Ox-Head and Horse-Face are not considered powerful magic weapons, they are magic weapons created by heaven and earth.

These two magical artifacts are most effective against wronged spirits. No matter how fast the disciples of the Western Sect can convert wronged spirits, they cannot match the speed at which these ox-headed and horse-faced demons can imprison them.

The Western Sect disciples were furious again. They all knew that the Ox-Headed and Horse-Face demons in the underworld were doing this on purpose, just to prevent them from saving the wronged souls.

Ksitigarbha, however, did not take it to heart and once again led his disciples from the Western Paradise to another location to continue to guide the wronged souls.

But the ox-headed and horse-faced demons in the underworld are like chewing gum; wherever the disciples of the Western Sect go, these ox-headed and horse-faced demons follow.

The disciples of the Western Sect understood perfectly well that the group of ox-headed and horse-faced demons in the underworld were determined not to help them save the wronged souls.

However, what puzzled many Western Buddhist disciples was that Ksitigarbha seemed indifferent to the actions of those Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Once Ox-Head and Horse-Face appear, they imprison all the wronged souls in the surrounding area, and Ksitigarbha will lead the disciples of the Western Sect away from the cycle of reincarnation once again.

This practice undoubtedly made many Western Christian disciples feel aggrieved and harbored a great deal of dissatisfaction.

Originally, the Western Sect had been planning for a long time to come to the Six Paths of Reincarnation again, just to get back at them and teach the Underworld Witch Clan a lesson.

At first, everything went smoothly. At the entrance to the six realms of reincarnation, they not only gained merit by converting wronged souls, but also managed to disgust the witches of the underworld.

But their good fortune didn't last long. The Underworld Witch Clan pulled this stunt, not only completely ruining the Western Religion's plans, but also putting the Western Religion in a dilemma.

Should we directly attack the Underworld Witch Clan? But the Underworld Witch Clan was merely fulfilling their duties, and there's no way they could be said to have done anything wrong.

If the Western Religion makes the first move, wouldn't that give them a pretext for criticism, allowing the Wu tribe to launch an attack against the Western Religion?

Giving up on saving wronged souls? These Western Sect disciples have just tasted the benefits of saving wronged souls and gaining merit, so why would they easily give up?

Besides, they've been planning this for a long time to get back at their opponents. If they give up now, wouldn't it be a pointless plan?

However, even the disciples of the Western Sect did not realize that in this constant tug-of-war, they were getting further and further away from the cycle of reincarnation.

The ox-headed and horse-faced demons in the underworld still closely followed the disciples of the Western Sect, determined not to allow them to save the wronged souls.

At that moment, a smile unconsciously appeared on Ksitigarbha's face, and his eyes, which were looking at the bull-headed and horse-faced demons, were filled with an icy chill.

The next moment, a powerful aura suddenly soared into the sky, and figures appeared in the heavens, flying rapidly towards Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Demons! These sudden appearances were all demons. Moreover, not only were there many of them, but their auras were also quite strong.

In the primordial world, once the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan meet, what will happen next is obvious without even thinking about it.

Ksitigarbha secretly transmitted his voice, telling the disciples of the Western Sect not to act rashly. As expected, the group of demons ignored the Western Sect disciples and headed straight for Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

"Those little demon brats are here! Brothers, kill them!"

The ox-headed and horse-faced demons in the underworld are all from the witch clan, but these witch clan members are not very powerful, after all, they are just ox-headed and horse-faced demons.

The most powerful among these witch clans are only comparable to Golden Immortals, and there isn't even a single Great Witch among them.

Among those demons, judging from their outward auras alone, there were no fewer than ten Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Once war breaks out, it will absolutely be a one-sided massacre. But when facing the demon race, the witch race has never known what cowardice is.

Faced with the menacing demon race, these witch clansmen did not retreat but instead advanced, launching a charge against the demon race.

Many disciples of the Western Sect only then realized what was happening, and their faces instantly showed gloating, as if they could already see the scene of countless witches dying tragically.

These Western disciples then understood why Ksitigarbha had yielded again and again when facing those Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons.

This wasn't out of fear of the witch clan in the underworld; it was clearly a feigned retreat to lure them here.

This place is already some distance from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the witch clan in the underworld has no time to rescue these bull-headed and horse-faced spirits.

Once these Ox-Headed and Horse-Face demons are killed by the demon race, and the disciples of the Western Sect go to convert the wronged souls, will the underworld witch clan still dare to come?

If you dare to come, the Western Religion will use the same old tricks again and leave the cycle of reincarnation once more. Do you, the Witch Clan of the Underworld, dare to continue to follow?

As long as the Witch Clan dares to come, the Demon Clan will dare to reappear and wipe out the Witch Clan. How many times can the Witch Clan in the Underworld withstand such losses?

The most ingenious part is that the demon race that made the move had nothing to do with the disciples of the Western Sect. Even if the Ancestral Witches wanted to seek revenge, they should have targeted the demon race.

Why would the demon race fear the witch race? Which creature in the primordial world doesn't know that it would be strange if the demon and witch races stopped killing each other one day?

If the Witch Clan becomes afraid and dares not leave the Six Paths of Reincarnation, that would be exactly what the Western Sect disciples want, allowing them to unscrupulously convert wronged souls.

Over time, they gradually erode the six realms of reincarnation, and one day, the six realms of reincarnation will be deeply imprinted by their Western religion.

At that time, it will be uncertain whether the Six Paths of Reincarnation will be determined by the Wu Clan or by their Western religion.

Once you understand all this, it's not hard to understand why those Western religious disciples had such gloating expressions on their faces.

It wasn't easy! It was extremely difficult! After fighting the Underworld Witch Clan for so long, this was the first time they had gained the upper hand. With their great revenge on the horizon, how could they not be overjoyed?

Ksitigarbha ignored the ensuing battle between the witch and demon races, for him it was a fight with no suspense whatsoever.

All of this was not something that Ksitigarbha had planned in advance, but he had plotted this far too many times.

When the Western Sect disciples were guiding wronged souls at the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the reaction of the Underworld Witch Clan was indeed somewhat unexpected.

But Ksitigarbha had been planning this for a long time, so he decided to use this as a pretext to lure these witches here, intending to hand them over to the demons to deal with.

Now, what Ksitigarbha is extremely curious about is how the human race's supreme ruler, hidden behind the witch clan, will deal with the situation that is about to unfold.

Should they ignore these witch clans and let the demon race slaughter them all? Or should they launch a fierce attack, bringing along experts from the underworld witch clans?

Ksitigarbha wouldn't be surprised by either outcome; he wanted more than just killing a few Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons.
