Chapter Eighty-Three: Farewell to Chang Xi

  Since the last great war between the witches and the demons, a whole eon has passed. The cultivators of the Primordial Chaos have all become strange and eccentric. Both the witch and demon tribes are quietly staying in their own territories, it's unknown how long they plan to drag this out for. This Heavenly Tribulation can't be resolved by just dragging it out, yet the heavenly mechanisms remain chaotic, persisting for an entire eon now.

  In the Western Paradise, Zhunti opened his eyes and looked at the guide beside him. Seeing that he too had woken up from his meditation, he faintly said: "The two tribes of witches and demons have never gone out to respond to the calamity, we disciples dare not go out of the mountain to travel, what should we do?"

  "The two tribes of witches have been slow to go to war, we are like pushing the waves and helping the great calamity of heaven and earth to disappear, and there must be boundless merit." The guide replied.

  Zhun Ti's eyes lit up, "Such a meritorious deed, we two are naturally obliged to take on the task. Does Master have any plans?"

  "It is said that the Ten Sons of the Demon Emperor have been born, and they are the masters of the Great Sun. They were born with the true fire of the sun flowing outside their bodies. The Demon Emperor and the Queen Mother dote on them, often letting them bathe in the Eastern Sea and play in the Tang Valley. However, none of the ten have a complete heart, but their magical powers are immense, and they can be plotted against." The guide finished speaking and looked at Zhu Ti seriously.

  Zhun Ti Ming Wu, tore through the void, disappeared on the spot, and reappeared, already above the East Sea. He saw that there were indeed nine golden crows playing in the sea. Upon closer inspection, he found that one was hiding behind the sun, carrying out the task assigned to them by the Demon Emperor.

  These ten Golden Crows were arranged by the Demon Emperor to have a dispensable position, which was to move in hiding and cultivate their hearts. The ten Golden Crows took turns being on duty every day, with an orderly routine. At first, it was fine, and they could persist, but as time went on, some became bored and clamored to go out and play. However, the calamity had already begun, so the Demon Emperor did not dare let them roam in the wilderness. In the end, he came up with a plan to let them frolic in the East Sea when they were bored, but only set up a ban within that area, not allowing them to leave the East Sea.

  Zhun Ti arrived at the East Sea and naturally discovered this layer of prohibition. With a wave of his hand, he immediately lifted it, using the power of the saint to act without alerting the demon emperor. Then, he hid to one side and observed the movements of the nine golden crows.

  Nine Golden Crows were frolicking, suddenly found the surrounding ban disappear, for a moment great joy, nine people have been in Heaven since birth, early want to go to Honghuang to see, now see there is an opportunity, also do not care what reason, all ran out.

  As brothers, they naturally wouldn't forget Old Ten who was hiding in the Sun Star. The nine of them discussed and decided to travel to the Sun Star while having fun along the way. However, during their flight, they didn't suppress the true fire of the sun on their bodies. The nine of them flew up into the sky, like nine small suns. Adding Old Ten who was hiding in the Sun Star, for a moment there were ten suns in the sky, and the vast earth suffered a disaster.

  Zhun Ti saw this and smiled slightly, instantly returning to the West.

  Now all the demons are hiding in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and with the chaos of the Heavenly Machine, for a time no one knew that the nine golden crows had escaped from the East China Sea and were wreaking havoc in the Desolate Expanse.

  The sky was empty for ten days, and the temperature in the vast wilderness rose sharply. The rivers dried up, birds and beasts were alarmed, and many forests caught fire. How could the weak human tribe withstand it? They sought help from the Shu tribe, who were sitting in the tribal town. Zi Mouse, Chou Cow, and others saw that the ten days were all sons of the demon king, and they did not dare to make a decision alone. Immediately, they reported to the ancestor witch of Buzhou Mountain.

  Just as the mouse and others came to report, Da Wu Kua Fu had already lost his patience and chased after the nine golden crows first, regardless of who it was, causing so many casualties among the tribes, they would have to pay the price.

  Lotus Platform cultivators on the Mountain of Non-Week, heard the Daoist mouse inform, already had a plan in mind, thinking that some saint saw the two tribes of witches and demons too comfortable, wanting to find a fuse to stimulate them. However, with the killing calamity already begun, it can't be delayed any longer, almost every witch has karma entwined around their body, especially these ancestral witches and great witches. Influenced by this karma, in just one yuan period, very few people broke through, now ten days have passed, causing the living beings of the vast wilderness to suffer greatly, with great karma, it's just right to send a few great witches to kill and obtain merit, washing away their own karma.

  Lotus Platform Daoist's eyes flashed a fierce light, the killing intent was unavoidable. Let the witch tribe kill more of the demonic tribe with deep karma, to wash away their own karma.

  No longer hesitant, Lian Tai Dao Ren ordered Hou Yi to go and help Kuafu, together they killed the ten small golden crows. As for how Emperor Jun would react afterwards, Lian Tai Dao Ren didn't think much about it. After all, the calamity had begun, a great war was destined, why bother worrying about so many things.

  Kua Fu had already reached the peak of Daluo Jinxian's cultivation before the Yuanyuan Conference, so he wouldn't be afraid of the ten small golden crows with only Jinxian cultivation. He sped up his pace and chased after them, soon catching up to nine of the golden crows.

  These nine Golden Crows were about to meet with the Old Tenth of Fowei, but found a giant Han blocking their way. As the nine were princes of the Heavenly Court and had been pampered since birth, they couldn't bear such disrespect from others and loudly shouted: "You big Han, why are you blocking our path? Are you looking to die?"

  Kua Fu heard this, and before he could even speak, they asked him to plead guilty. He thought of the many people who had died miserably, and suddenly became furious. Without saying another word, he swung his fists and struck at the nine golden crows.

  Nine golden crows were also arrogant masters, seeing the Great Han not speaking a word and hitting him, their hearts were also extremely angry, suddenly the true fire of the sun spewed out, burning towards Chao Fu.

  Kua Fu had the powerful strength of a Golden Immortal, but his main focus was on brute force, not speed. Although each punch he threw was incredibly fierce, he couldn't catch up to Xiao Jin's agility. After exchanging blows, not only did he fail to hit Xiao Jin, but he also exhausted a significant amount of his own magical energy and got burned by the Golden Crow's Solar True Fire. Despite having a robust physique that allowed him to withstand the flames without injury, being constantly scorched by the fire was still unbearably hot.

  "You're really useless, with this kind of strength you dare to block the way of my young master." Jin Wu Lao Da was overjoyed and couldn't help but mock him. This person's strength was obviously higher than his own, yet he was being suppressed by nine people, how could he not be pleased in his heart?

  "It's just that, my nine brothers and I bullying you, a weakling, is also quite helpless. If you know what's good for you, it's best to surrender and let me burn you with one fire, which would be more comfortable. If you continue to struggle, I will inevitably skin and torture you, making life worse than death."

  Kua Fu was already angry, now being ridiculed by these juniors, his heart even more furious, he let out a loud roar, and his whole body's aura was released, for a moment the earth shook, sand and gravel flew up, all towards the nine golden crows, these sand particles were dense, and contained Kua Fu's magical power inside, the nine golden crows couldn't dodge, and were beaten until they cried out loudly.

  "Dare to hurt my prince, today you will die without a place to bury your body." Jin Wu Lao Da cried out in pain, and suddenly took out a gourd, which was obtained by his uncle Dong Huang Tai Yi from the mountains of Bu Zhou Shan. It was an extremely powerful pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, named "Zhan Xian Fei Dao" (Beheading Immortal Flying Knife).

  The Golden Crow Prince held the gourd in his hand, and suddenly a thread of light shot out, over three feet high; on top, an object appeared, about seven inches long, with eyebrows and eyes; two white lights shot from its eyes, one towards Kuafu.

  This treasure is only for the human Yuanshen, but Chao Fu is a witch tribe and has no concept of Yuanshen. The two white lights entering his body only affected his movements slightly.

  Jin Wu Taizi saw that Kua Fu was not dizzy at all, and was shocked. However, he did not believe that his usually effective magic would be useless, so he continued to say: "Please turn around, treasure."

  "Turn around and call your grandfather!" Zhang Bo had been angry for a long time, now seeing Jin Wu taking out his magic treasure to deal with himself, he couldn't help but burst out a foul language that he heard from Emperor Jiang. One punch went fiercely, and in an instant, the old Jin Wu who was releasing his magic treasure was knocked flying.

  Kua Fu's one punch was so heavy that with just one blow, he knocked the Golden Crow to the ground, causing it to spit fire from its seven orifices. It fell to the side and couldn't get up for a long time, apparently seriously injured. The other Golden Crows nearby were shocked speechless.

  "Rest, my big brother." At this time, another Golden Crow appeared, which was the old tenth who had been hiding on the day of the eclipse. Seeing his nine brothers fighting with someone in the distance, he hurried over to help. He also saw Kuafu wanting to go forward and kill the seriously injured Golden Crow elder, so he didn't dare hesitate, and a true fire burst out from the sun, wrapping him up. At this time, the other Golden Crows also reacted, joining the battle together and suppressing Kuafu once again.

  Kuafu's pent-up anger, a mouthful of air that couldn't be released, was further irritated by the scorching sun and intense heat, causing his body to feel parched and his inner rage to erupt. A powerful aura burst forth, instantly dispersing the surrounding flames. However, his emotions still couldn't be vented, and he went on a wild rampage, smashing things indiscriminately. For a time, golden crows flew about in disarray, and no one dared approach Kuafu.

  Kua Fu struck tens of thousands of punches in a row, suddenly letting out a low and fierce roar, like a dangerous beast, instantly his aura surged again, and he broke through the bottleneck that had lasted for many years, reaching the quasi-saint realm. Just like Xing Tian Bai Qi, a weapon suddenly flew out of the earth, it was the "Kua Fu Staff", which fell into Kua Fu's hand, Kua Fu grasped it, feeling very comfortable, and couldn't help but knock his head against Pangu's transformed Buzhou Mountain several times.

  At this time, the Golden Crows saw that the foolish giant had forgotten about himself and suddenly became furious. Without using the true fire of the sun, they directly used three claws to grab at Chui.

  But at this moment, a sharp arrow flew over and pierced into the body of a golden crow. The golden crow did not make a sound and fell straight to the ground.

  "The Sixth Brother (Sixth Younger Brother)" The Golden Crows were shocked and frightened, all of them flying towards the fallen Golden Crow. Even the seriously injured Golden Crow Elder flew over. As the crowd turned their heads to look, a handsome young man stood in the distance, holding a bow in his hand.

  "I'm going to kill you" The crowd of golden crows were all enraged, and they rushed towards Hou Yi together.

  Hou Yi's expression didn't change, his fingers moved swiftly, and nine arrow feathers flew out in an instant, transforming into a series of brilliant lights. Hou Yi's arrows were just right to counter these golden crows, which dodged and weaved but couldn't avoid being hit by the arrow feathers one after another, each one falling to the ground.

  "Be careful!" Jin Wu Lao Da watched as Hou Yi shot out nine arrows, frantically shouting, but it was too late. Even he himself was hit by an arrow and his life instantly slipped away.

  "Hou Yi, spare him!" Just then a soft cry came, and a beautiful woman appeared, with a ray of light in her hand that shot out and blocked Hou Yi's last arrow, saving the frightened Golden Crow Old Ten.

  "Chang'e." Hou Yi's face stiffened for a moment, but he immediately cooled down again. She was just Changxi, and he had no relationship with her.

  Chang Xi was originally cultivating in the Taiyin star, just feeling a bit stuffy in the chest, thinking of coming to Honghuang for a walk, didn't expect to run into this matter.

  "How can you be so ruthless, shooting and killing these younger generations?" Chang Xi looked at the nine golden crows that had lost their lives, her heart was very moved, these were her sister's children after all.

  "These ten golden crows have caused countless deaths and injuries, a crime that deserves punishment." Hou Yi said calmly.

  "But they were born not long ago and their nature is not yet complete. Later on, we can slowly instruct them." Chang Xi explained.

  "No matter how you teach, the lives that have been lost in the ten-day eclipse will never be reborn." Hou Yi said seriously, looking at Chang Xi.

  "You..." Chang Xi was left speechless, but seeing Hou Yi's cold attitude, she felt a surge of anger in her heart for some reason.

  "Auntie, you must avenge all of us brothers!" At this time, Jin Wu Lao Shi finally woke up from his fear, his eyes resentfully staring at Hou Yi.

  "Who dares to bully my brother." At this time, Kuafu rushed over and saw that Changxi was still above himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

  "Thanks, brother." Hou Yi looked at Kuafu and felt a lot more relieved. He continued to say: "Now that we've killed the nine suns, we can consider ourselves avenged for the dead humans. Let's head back."

  Hou Yi finished speaking and pulled Kuafu away, ready to leave.

  "Halt." Chang Xi suddenly blocked their path.

  Xiwangmu blocked the way, Kuafu was about to take action, but was stopped by Houyi.

  Hou Yi took two steps forward, staring into Chang'e's eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Is the fairy Chang'e trying to kill Hou Yi for revenge on behalf of the nine days?" As he spoke, he tore open the animal skin on his chest. "Then please, fairy, insert your sword, Hou Yi will not resist."

  "Brother, what are you doing?" Kua Fu was shocked and didn't know what Hou Yi meant.

  "Brothers, don't interfere, this is between me and her." Hou Yi said calmly, still staring at Changxi in front of him.

  "You......" often stared blankly at Hou Yi, for a moment unable to speak, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.

  "Auntie, kill him!" Old Tenth's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he spoke in a sinister tone.

  Kuafu took a step forward in silence, although he had been warned by Hou Yi, he couldn't help but intervene if Changxi really tried to kill Hou Yi.

  Yi saw that Xiwangmu was slow to act, and he did not want to wait any longer. He turned around and pulled Kuafu in the direction of Mount Buzhou.

  But then, a sudden cry pierced the air.

  "Death"

  Hou Yi felt a chill in his chest, and a sharp sword pierced through his back and into his heart.

  "Brother" Bo father did not expect that Chang Xi would still make a move at this time, suddenly furious, and with one punch, he knocked Chang Xi back several steps. He wanted to continue making a move, but was stopped by the weak Hou Yi.

  "Brother Kuafu, take me back." Hou Yi said, his face growing colder and colder, his eyes never looking at Chang'e again, but his heart aching more and more.

  Kuafu glared fiercely at the dazed Changyi, "If anything happens to my brother, I'll make sure you pay for it." With that, he didn't dare hesitate any longer, and grabbed Hou Yi, quickly rushing towards Mount Buzhou. The Wu tribe's physical body was robust, although being stabbed in the heart, it was only a slightly more serious injury, but if not treated promptly, there would be many aftereffects.

  Jinwu Laosheng saw this, grabbed a few of his brothers' corpses and flew directly to the Heavenly Court, thinking viciously in his heart that he must tell his father about this matter and chop these two thieves into pieces.

  At this time, only Changxi was left, staring blankly at the sword in his hand, thinking of Houyi's last gaze, and a sharp pain in his heart, constantly asking himself, why, why did he thrust that sword?
