Chapter 73: Frugal Mindset

  The Seventy-Third Mindset

  The dragon tribe was still relatively unaffected, while the demon tribe was the most affected. After all, Donghu Emperor had a great sense of justice, and even though Hong Jun Dao Zu's power was damaged in his battle with Zhu Jiu Yin, he was still the master of many people. This made many people have to consider this point, including Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were no exception, especially since their own cultivation was insufficient.

  Everyone still has scruples about Hong Jun Dao Zu for two reasons. Even if Hong Jun Dao Zu's strength is damaged, it is not something they can provoke. Most importantly, Hong Jun Dao Zu still holds the key to their ascension in his hands. If they don't become saints, they will be nothing but ants. This is something they are also aware of. Although Zhu Jiu Yin broke this point, no one dares to compare themselves to such a crazy person like Zhu Jiu Yin. They do not have Zhu Jiu Yin's craziness, nor his powerful cultivation, and even less so his endless methods and spiritual treasures.

  Zhu Jiu Yin self-destructed four divine temples in a battle with Hong Jun Dao Zu, each of which was a spiritual treasure with great power. Such a grand move is something they cannot learn.

  Everyone has ambitions, and Donghua Emperor is no exception. When his cultivation broke through the quasi-saint realm, his ambition naturally grew stronger. He couldn't provoke Xie Lian or the Witch Clan, but he could provoke those relatively weaker demon clans.

  Under the dominance of Donghua Emperor, most of the demons in the Eastern Sea have become his subordinates. Similarly, some people actively surrendered to Donghua Emperor, making the Penglai Fairy Island extremely lively.

  Human desire is endless, and when the Candle Nine Yin had not appeared for a long time, the Eastern Emperor then had another idea to contend with the Witch Clan for the vast land of Hongyuan.

  Donghua Emperor was somewhat clever and knew that the Witch Clan was powerful, so he didn't rush into action but instead sought out the Queen of the West to cooperate with her, and the two conspired together for a grand undertaking in the Primordial Chaos.

  Donghua Emperor is a bit arrogant, of course, this is also related to his cultivation. After all, he is now an quasi-saint level expert, and with the increase in strength, his mentality has naturally changed.

  Unfortunately, the Queen Mother of the West was much more perceptive than the Eastern Emperor, and in response to his visit, she made a decision that left the Eastern Emperor astonished - she rejected his proposal and refused to confront the Wu tribe, or rather, she refused to confront Candle Nine Yin.

  Although it has been two hundred years since the end of that great war, Zhu Jiu Yin has not appeared in Honghuang. However, the strength he showed in his battle with Hong Jun Dao Zu still makes Xi Wang Mu uneasy. She is a woman and does not have the same grand ambitions as Dong Hua Emperor, nor is she willing to risk her own life. Although she was appointed by Hong Jun Dao Zu as the leader of the female immortals, Xi Wang Mu has no great ambitions for Honghuang, which sets her apart from Dong Hua Emperor.

  He was rejected by the Queen Mother of the West, which made Donghuang Emperor angry in his heart. As a result, the Queen Mother became an unscrupulous person who could not be promoted to the stage in his eyes.

  Although Donghuadijun was very careful when he went to find Xiwangmu, he couldn't escape the eyes of everyone, especially for the Wu tribe, it was even clearer.

  Although the matter of Donghua Emperor was not widely spread, its impact was significant. When Zhu Jiu Yin and Emperor Jiang gathered with other ancestral witches, Zhu Jiu Yin clearly felt the pressure on Emperor Jiang and other ancestral witches.

  Two hundred years may seem like a long time, but for Candle Nine Yin, it is extremely short. For two hundred years, he has hardly gone out to observe what has happened in the outside world, and has been focusing on recovering from his injuries, so he knows very little about the current situation of the Witch tribe.

  Seeing the expression on Emperor Jiang's face, Zhuo Yin asked: "Brother, did something happen during my recovery period? Why are all of your expressions so heavy?"

  When Emperor Jiang heard the inquiry of Zhu Jiu Yin, he let out a long sigh and said: "Xian Di, indeed many things have happened during this period. Dong Hua broke through to Quasi-Saint cultivation and borrowed momentum to crazily develop his own power. Not only did he take in the originally dragon tribe's affiliated demon tribes on the Eastern Sea, but also went to Kunlun Mountain to see the Western Queen Mother. You also know that Dong Hua is the first male immortal personally pointed out by Hong Jun Dao Zu, and it's likely that he wants to contend with our Wu Tribe for control of the Hongyuan!"

  Dijiang's words had barely fallen when Candle Nine spoke up in a calm and collected tone: "Is this really something worth making such a fuss over, big brother?"

  Donghuang's calm demeanor made Emperor Jiang shake his head and say, "Younger brother, you're also aware that in the battle against Hongjun Daozu, all of us were injured. Although we gained something from that battle, we didn't break through our own limitations, and our cultivation can't compare to Donghua's. What's most important is that we still need to be on guard against the demon tribe. Don't think that just because Emperor Jun and Taiyi have retreated to the Heavenly Court, they've given up on the Primordial Wilderness. In this situation, how can you expect us not to worry?"

  The Di Jiang clan, although powerful, were not fools. They understood the current situation and the pressure it put on their tribe. After all, the witch tribe had countless enemies in the desolate expanse of the Hong Huang, and if they relaxed even slightly, a shocking and earth-shattering change could occur at any moment.

  Jiuyin's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, since some people don't know what's good for them and want to jump out and make things difficult for our Wu tribe, then let's get rid of them. Whoever dares to block us will have to die. In this vast wilderness, there can only be one voice, and that is the voice of our Wu tribe. Whoever dares to resist our rule will have to die! Since Donghua was the first to jump out, we'll make an example of him and kill off those people's arrogance!"

  Overbearing, Zhu Jiu Yin was indeed injured and his cultivation had not recovered, but he didn't have the slightest bit of fear. On the contrary, after fighting with Hong Jun Dao Zu, Zhu Jiu Yin became even more fearless. In that battle, his confidence was unwavering. It was precisely because of this that when he heard Emperor Jiang's words, he would say such things and make such a choice.

  In the vast wilderness, strength is revered; since someone has provoked us, we must fight back with strength.

  When the ninth candle fell, Emperor Jiang sighed and said: "Brother, you think we don't want to fight back? But you have to understand that it's not that we don't want to, but we don't have the power. After all, you're injured now, and there are so many people watching our Wu clan. If we make a slight mistake, the consequences will be unbearable!"

  If it were just Emperor Jiang alone, he wouldn't be so cautious and he wouldn't fear any challenges. But now it's different, Chujiu has injuries on his body, and the Shu tribe has a large group of people, as the leader, Emperor Jiang naturally has to think about the overall situation, for the future of the Shu tribe, and cannot act impulsively.

  When he heard Emperor Jiang's answer, Zhu Jiu Yin let out a silent sigh in his heart. He understood that Emperor Jiang made such a choice largely because of himself, after all, in the battle with Hong Jun Dao Zu, he suffered heavy losses.

  "Big brother, I understand your thoughts. Actually, you don't have to worry so much. In the vast wilderness, everything is respected based on strength. Without strength, no one will respect you. Although I am injured, killing Donghua is not a difficult task. A small quasi-saint dares to be arrogant? Then let's kill him and warn others, letting them know that in the vast wilderness, it is our Wu clan who is supreme!"

  Di Jiang furrowed his brow and said: "Younger brother..."

  Before Emperor Jiang could finish speaking, Zhu Jiu Yin interrupted him and said: "Big brother, you don't need to say any more. I'm clear about my own situation. Anyone who dares to provoke us will only have one outcome - death! Only with iron-blooded means can we make those who have greedy intentions towards us afraid!"

  The words of Zhu Jiuyin were deeply acknowledged by Emperor Jiang and his ancestors, who actually understood the situation in Hongyuan after their battle with Hongjun Daozu. They weren't unwilling to start a massacre, but they were constrained by too many factors, which made them dare not act rashly or easily spark a war.

  But now it's fine, after Candle Nine Yin said that, they felt at ease and didn't worry so much anymore. However, Emperor Jiang was still a bit worried about Candle Nine Yin's body, because for the Witch Clan, Candle Nine Yin's safety was the most important thing. As long as Candle Nine Yin was around, many people would have something to consider.

  "Brother, I know what to do now. You just focus on recovering from your injuries. This time, we will trample the Penglai Fairy Island, destroy Donghua, and proclaim the divine power of our Wu tribe to all living beings in the vast wilderness!"

  As soon as Emperor Jiang spoke out, he immediately got the approval of other ancestral witches. Having been stifled for so long, everyone had a belly full of anger.
