The ninety-seventh matter is finished.

  On the surface, it seems that Zhu Jiuyin has failed. At least for now, he won't be able to make a move on Tian Ting. However, in reality, Zhu Jiuyin himself also let out a sigh of relief. Although his hopes were dashed and he couldn't take advantage of the situation to get rid of the demon tribe, Zhu Jiuyin had never thought that he could truly succeed in killing Taiyi and Emperor Jun when he decided to go all out from the start. His words may have sounded fierce, but he himself hadn't fully prepared for everything.

  Of course, the previous words of Chujiu Yin were not just a show of force, he also had the intention to fight, but in that case, the price that the Wu tribe would have to pay would be very high. After all, at this time, the Wu tribe was not prepared for any decisive battle, and forcing a battle would likely result in no small damage, and with one careless move, they might suffer a severe blow.

  This time, Hong Jun Dao Zu's move also made Zhu Jiu Yin realize that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are not worth mentioning. Although his own calculations were successful for the most part, he still ended up losing miserably in the end, without even a slight gain, and instead became a supporting actor for Hong Jun Dao Zu once again.

  No need to say, just from the look in Hong Jun Dao Zu's eyes when he left, Zhu Jiu Yin could understand that from start to finish, Hong Jun Dao Zu had never taken him seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gained so much. In Hong Jun Dao Zu's eyes, he was still just a small ant.

  However, Hongjun Daozu's disregard did not make Zhu Jiu angry, this is the fact. If he couldn't even bear this point, then how could he talk about proving his way? In the process of proving his way with force, there will be countless hardships, and all of this has just begun.

  Previously, Zhu Jiu Yin had successfully secured enough time for the Wu tribe by daring to fight and dare to contend. However, next, the Wu tribe will have to rely on its own strength to decide the protagonist of Hongyuan, and Zhu Jiu Yin himself will also need time to perfect his own path to the Great Dao. This battle is still pretty good overall, at least Zhu Jiu Yin is very satisfied with it.

  After this great war, Penglai Fairy Island was already on the verge of destruction. Zhu Jiu Yin also wanted to offer sacrifices and refine the island here, but thinking of those tiger-like external enemies, Zhu Jiu Yin could only give up this idea. After all, the divine treasure was extremely important to him and couldn't be lost.

  With a flicker of his mind, Zhu Jiuyin disregarded the injuries to his divine country and drew the Penglai Fairy Island into his own divine country. Although it was just a small movement, it caused Zhu Jiuyin to grunt again, with a thread of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. This great war had brought them great gains, but also heavy losses; whether it was their true bodies or their divine countries, they were both already struggling to support another great war.

  When he saw the painful look of Zhu Jiuyin, Emperor Jiang Zuowu sighed secretly in his heart. No one understood Zhu Jiuyin better than him. He was very clear about the weight that Zhu Jiuyin had to bear. So he said: "Second brother, let's go back. This battle will end here. As for Emperor Jun and Taiyi, we'll have a chance to deal with them later!"

  Things have come to this point, Jiǔyīn can't help but agree, because his body has reached its limit. He nodded and said: "Big brother is right, let's go back and talk about it later!"

  For Zhu Jiu Yin's situation, San Qing and others have seen it with their own eyes. However, there are still Emperor Jiang and other ancestral witches around Zhu Jiu Yin, and Zhu Jiu Yin's ferocity is really too heavy. Although they had the intention to deal with Zhu Jiu Yin, in the end, they all gave up. After all, Hong Jun Dao Zu has already left, and they don't want to risk their own lives for adventure. The Xian Tian Treasure may be good, but one must have a life to enjoy it.

  The ruthless and cunning of Zhu Jiu Yin has already penetrated deep into people's hearts. It is precisely because of Zhu Jiu Yin, a madman who doesn't care about his own life, that the many powerful beings in Hong Huang dare not launch a fatal attack on him at his weakest moment. This is because before this, a divine being had already fallen - that is, Hong Jun Dao Zu.

  After the war ended, Candle Nine's heart also relaxed a lot. Since he stepped into the struggle for hegemony in Hongyuan, he had never been at peace. It can be said that he is now an enemy everywhere in Hongyuan.

  All the way, the twelve ancestor witches were careful and dependent on each other, because everyone knew that this was the time when Jiu Yin was at his weakest. Everyone was worried that something unexpected would happen on the way back, so they had to be extra careful.

  Fortunately, things didn't go as Emperor Jiang and others had expected. Along the way, they returned safely to the ancestral land of the Wu tribe, Pangu Temple. After entering Pangu Temple, whether it was Zhu Jiuyin or Emperor Jiang, they both let out a deep breath. This journey had been very stressful for them.

  After returning to Pangu Temple, Emperor Jiang Zu Wu said: "This battle has a great impact on everyone. For now, let's take some time to rest and recover our physical strength!"

  Di Jiang Zu Wu's words were clearly intended to take care of Ran Jiu Yin, but what he said did not cause dissatisfaction among other Zu Wu. For the Zu Wu, their hearts have never changed.

  All the other ancestors nodded in agreement with Emperor Jiang's proposal, but at this time, Zhu Jiu Yin opened his mouth to refuse. He said: "Big brother, wait a minute, rest is not for now, we still have important things to discuss!"

  As soon as Zhu Jiu Yin's words came out, a hint of helplessness flashed across Emperor Jiang Zu Wu's face. In fact, he had long understood that Zhu Jiu Yin would oppose his proposal.

  "Second brother, your body..." Emperor Jiangzu sighed and said.

  Before Emperor Jiang Zu could finish speaking, Zhu Que said: "Big brother, my body is fine, I can hold on, it's better to settle things first, so even if we rest, we can be at ease and don't have to worry about it all the time!"

  Jiǔ Yīn's persistence made Emperor Jiang Zu Wu nod in agreement, and he said: "Alright then, let's discuss how to develop from now on! In my opinion, our clan has been making a big show of ourselves these few times. Why don't we take it easy for now? After all, the demonic tribes that threatened us and the Eastern Emperor's forces have already been destroyed. We have plenty of time to rest and recover!"

  Emperor Jiang Zu Wu's words were recognized by the majority of Zu Wu, and for them, everything about the witch tribe was going very well and they were all very satisfied.

  Unfortunately, Zhu Jiu Yin didn't think so. He shook his head and said: "Big brother, I think this matter is not suitable. We can't slow down, on the contrary, we need to speed up our conquest of Hongyuan. You know that in this war, we have achieved a great victory. If we suddenly retreat at this time, how will other forces in Hongyuan view us? They might think that all twelve of us were seriously injured in this battle, and everything we've worked for would be wasted!"

  Jiǔyīnyīn's words were not unreasonable, for the Wūzú, it had already reached a point of no progress, and Emperor Jiāngzǔwū and others did not realize the shortcomings of the Wūzú. However, Jiǔyīnyīn knew that in this life-and-death struggle between the Wū and Yāo tribes, if the Wūzú could not seize enough resources, it would have a great impact on the future battle between the two tribes. Therefore, Jiǔyīnyīn was not prepared to retreat.

  Of course, Emperor Jiang Zu Wu made such a choice also has a part of the reason is because of Candle Nine Yin, afraid that it will affect Candle Nine Yin's rest and recuperation.

  "Second brother, I know all that you've said, but you must understand that after these consecutive great wars, our Witch clan has already reached the pinnacle of power. If we continue to be overbearing, it will only provoke more people to rebel against us. Now that you're injured, if we were to trigger a full-scale counterattack from the powerful experts of the Hongyuan, our Witch clan would face a disaster of extinction!"

  Tei Kōsō's concerns were not unreasonable, he just underestimated the cruelty of Shoku Kyūin.

  "Big brother, I understand what you're saying, but the more we do this, the more we can't back down. If someone dares to resist, we'll kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind. In the vast wilderness, might makes right. I don't believe there's any force that would dare to be the first to stick their head out. As long as we're ruthless and cruel enough, we can suppress the wilderness and plunder more spiritual energy and resources to cultivate our tribe's development!"

  Di Jiang Zu Wu said: "But in the vast wilderness, there are many masters. Once they unite, how can we resist?"

  "Let them unite, I'd rather they did. That way we'll have the chance to take them all down at once. If we can eliminate all of these people, no matter the cost, it will be worth it!"

  Zhú Jiǔyīn said it right, if things are really as Emperor Jiang Zǔwū said, with the Three Pure Ones and others joining forces to take action against the Wū tribe, it would indeed give Zhú Jiǔyīn a chance to catch them all at once, because the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods' formation is their trump card.
