Chapter 75: Prelude to War

  Two of the top ten demon handsome men died in a row, Emperor Taiyi's face turned black with fright, but it was already agreed that life and death would be decided by their own abilities, this loss had to be swallowed.

  "The Wu Zu's great witch is indeed very good." Emperor Jun said with a fierce tone, his eyes fixed on Emperor Jiang.

  "The Demon Emperor is not convinced and wants to continue sending people to compete?" Emperor Jiang smiled and said. However, he was not worried at all in his heart, thinking that the demon clan had lost two demon commanders and did not dare to gamble again.

  "Letting the younger generation take over is not the right way, after a hundred years I will set up the Big Dipper Array on Qingqiu Mountain, I wonder if you ancestors dare to come and break it?" Emperor Jun looked at Emperor Jiang and others, his eyes full of provocative meaning.

  "It's that fragile Breaking Formation again, Emperor Jun, can't you come up with something new for once?" Zhu Rong interrupted, clearly disdainful of the Zhou Tian Star Great Array.

  "The Demon Emperor is indeed a good strategist, seeing that our Witch Clan now only has six Ancestral Witches, and cannot form the Heaven God Killing Great Array, he wants to rely on array techniques to suppress us, isn't that too wishful thinking?" At this time, Zhu Jiuyin also walked out and immediately saw through Emperor Jun's plan.

  Di Jun burst out laughing, looking utterly carefree. "At that time, I will only use the Hetu and Luoshu to set up the formation with the 365 Star Flags, and there will be only four people in the formation: me, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Xihe. Will the six ancestral witches dare to come and fight?"

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiang furrowed his brow, feeling that there was some sort of scheme at play. He couldn't help but start calculating with his fingers, yet he couldn't find any leads. This only made him more astonished. Could it be that someone had obscured the heavenly will? Emperor Jiang let out a cold snort and gazed intently at Emperor Jun. Seeing the smile on his face, he became even more convinced of his own suspicions.

  I'm afraid that when you scheme against my witch clan, you will also be schemed against. Emperor Jiang sneered in his heart, but he had already made a plan. When the time comes to break through the array, he would leave E'shen Lian Tai Daoist in the Pangu Hall, where even saints cannot investigate. At that time, no matter what schemes the demon clan has, with the presence of E'shen Lian Tai Daoist, who has the cultivation of a quasi-saint, he is not afraid. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said:

  "Alright, since the Demon Emperor has challenged us, we naturally won't back down. Let's meet at the Zhoutian Starry Sky Great Array a hundred years later."

  "That's very good." Di Jun replied.

  At this time, Dong Huang Taiyi walked up from one side, his eyes staring fiercely at Emperor Jiang.

  "When the time comes, I will definitely avenge today's humiliation."

  "But it's itching again?" Emperor Jiang's aura suddenly condensed.

  Taiyi was greatly shocked, thinking that Emperor Jiang was going to launch a sneak attack on himself again, and hastily took out the Hunyuan Bell. After waiting for a while, he found that Emperor Jiang had not made a move, but was sneering at him, then turned around and left with a group of witches.

  He was ridiculed, and Tai's face suddenly turned bright red with anger, his heart burning with rage. He also found that the monks around him were looking at him with strange eyes, making him feel like a clown for a moment. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, but it was an angry attack on the heart, and he suffered a minor injury.

  "Taiyi!" Emperor Jun saw him suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and immediately walked over.

  Dong Huang Taizi wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, gazing at Emperor Jiang's departing back, and a mad gleam appeared in his eyes. "Emperor Jiang, you've humiliated me time and again; I'll never rest until one of us dies!"

  Taiyi let out a loud roar, but it was enough to make the cultivators around him change color, and they all had some epiphany. The vast expanse of the universe would never be calm again. Some cleverer cultivators decided to retreat and cultivate in seclusion, and these few would no longer set foot outside their caves.

  At this time, Laozi and the two primitive men started talking.

  "Emperor Jun let Nüwa deceive the heavenly machine, planning to use the Zhou Tian Star Array to trap Emperor Jiang and other ancestral witches after a hundred years. Then, he would have the remaining eight great demon generals lead the 100 billion demon gods to attack the witch tribe's settlements, breaking them one by one. It was a good plan," Yuanshi said, his eyes showing no emotion.

  "The war between the two tribes is inevitable." Laozi said calmly.

  "Shixiong is right, but I didn't think that Emperor Jun had such a temperament, to start an all-out war, and not even fear the involvement of the Witch Clan in the cycle of reincarnation." Yuanshi continued.

  "The witch tribe in the cycle has its own teacher blocking."

  After listening, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Then how should we guide it, so that this calamity can be resolved?"

  Laozi glanced at Yuanshi lightly and said, "We saints must not be tainted by too much karma."

  Plain and simple, silent and unspoken.

  Emperor Jun, Taiyi and others returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. At this time, except for the people of the demon tribe, all the other cultivators had left. However, there were still a few missing demon tribes' powerful beings in the hall. Among them, Nüwa had already returned to her Daoist temple outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and Kunpeng was also unknown when he would return to the North Ming.

  "Why did Yao Shi Kun Peng leave without saying goodbye?" Xi He had just joined the demon tribe and didn't know much about Kun Peng's affairs, seeing that he wasn't there, she couldn't help but frown and ask.

  "Hmph, this person is indeed a powerful being of the demon tribe, but he's just taking advantage of his reputation, no need to pay attention to him." Emperor Jyun said coldly.

  Taiyi also let out a cold snort and said, "Kunpeng", thinking of his relationship with Emperor Jiang, feeling a wave of displeasure in his heart. However, after calming down and taking another look, he discovered that someone was missing from the hall, startling him. Where did Changxi go? He looked around again, but apart from some demon gods, there was still no sign of Changxi.

  "Why hasn't Xihe's immortal daughter been seen?" Taiyi suddenly asked, looking towards Xihé.

  "My sister likes cleanliness, I'm not good at keeping her company, she's already gone back to the Taiyin star." Xihe explained, but in his heart he was a bit surprised, why did Taizhen care so much about Changxi, could it be that he had intentions for her?

  "Alright, let's stop mentioning those trivial matters. We should discuss the great war a hundred years later." Emperor Jyun interrupted everyone and said.

  "The Demon Emperor has thought it through, does he really want to go to war with the Witch Clan?" At this time, Fuxi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, his eyes filled with worry.

  "Xī Huáng can rest assured, the four of us will use the Zhōu Tiān Star Array to restrain Emperor Jiāng and the other six people. At that time, the eight great demon commanders will launch a surprise attack on the twelve major tribes of the Wū Zú with lightning speed, each one defeated, with at least a 70% chance of victory. By then, the Wū Zú tribe's people will have suffered heavy losses and lost their momentum, and they will no longer be able to contend with our Yāo Zú."

  Fuxi's eyebrows furrowed, "Apart from Zuwu, there are twelve other great witches, among whom Chiyou, Zouyi and Mengpo are on duty in the cycle of reincarnation, but nine great witches still preside over it. Can the eight great demon generals really handle it?" At this time, Fuxi's mind was thinking of Hou Yi's figure, that great witch who had shot and killed two demon generals in a row, and he felt even more uneasy.

  "The Wu tribe has no Yuanshen, and it's not clear when the sky will be clear. The female saint Nuwa is also replacing us to confuse the heavenly machine. The Wu tribe's great witch is divided into separate guards, and our eight major demon commanders can completely break through one by one. Perhaps eight out of nine don't have much chance of winning, but eight out of ten, one after another, are very easy to win. By the time the Wu tribe reacts, those great witches will probably not be left with many." Emperor Jun slowly analyzed.

  "In the cycle of reincarnation, there are still six great ancestral witches, among whom Hou Tu Niang Niang is still a saint...". Fuxi continued to say, but was interrupted by Emperor Jun.

  "The ancestor of Tao said back then, 'The cycle of the earth's path cannot be interfered with by human hands in matters concerning the heavens' grand and desolate affairs; just let it be.'"

  "There are still hundreds of millions of people from various tribes, all living together with the Wu tribe. This war will bring disaster to innocent people."

  At this point, Taiyi couldn't help but interrupt and said: "The human race is just a weak and small living being, why does Xi Huang have to be so concerned about it."

  Fuxi sighed and saw that Taiyi was so casual, thinking that he had already obtained the consent of Nüwa's sister. He didn't say much more, but in his heart, he still felt some reluctance. The two sides would engage in a great war, which would inevitably lead to the slaughter of innocent people. Even if they possessed precious treasures to suppress the aura of fate, they would still suffer significant losses. Perhaps in the end, they could defeat the Shu tribe, but it would only be a conclusion where both sides suffered heavy losses. Fuxi couldn't understand why Nüwa's sister didn't try to stop them and instead was pushing the situation further.

  He didn't know that Nüwa was also in a difficult situation. Now that the calamity had begun, a great war between the two tribes was inevitable. All she could do was to save as many lives of the demon tribe as possible. Seeing Emperor Jun's plan, which had a high chance of success, she naturally agreed. As for the human tribe that would be involved in the war, she could only apologize silently in her heart. The rise of the human tribe was the great trend of heaven, but it must go through three disasters and five difficulties to be tested. What she did was just following the will of heaven.
