Chapter Thirty-Three: The Wilderness of Strife, The Daughter of Drought

  After the Nine Heaven Xuan Nü left, everyone returned to the big tent. Once everyone was seated, Xuanyuan Huangdi asked Feng Hou: "Marshal, where is our army now?"

  "After the wind rose, he stood up and played: 'Your Majesty, now I have the great army of the Xiong tribe arriving at the field of Zhūluó!'"

  Huangdi nodded thoughtfully and smiled wryly, "It's all because of my incompetence that I was defeated by Chiyou, and now the morale of our troops is at an all-time low. And to make matters worse, I've also dragged you esteemed sages into this mess, it's truly a fault of mine!"

  Duobao Daoren shook his head and said, "How can this be blamed on Your Majesty? It's just that we, the poor Taoists, are not skilled enough!" After speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This time, they had lost face completely. The elite disciples of the two schools, Tianjian and Erjiao, had all come out, yet they were defeated by a single person, Chiyou. Although the Tiger Roar Magic Knife was also to blame, if their own cultivation wasn't deep enough, how could this have happened? He couldn't help but think that if Kong Xuan were here, no matter how arrogant Chiyou was, what could he do? It seemed as though he saw the figure of Kong Xuan, forever solitary and proud. When would he be able to reach that level? Duobao Daoren sighed secretly.

  Duobao Daoren's words left all the immortals speechless, after all, he was speaking the truth, and no amount of quibbling could change that. Moreover, the immortals were still thinking to themselves that this time, the disciples of both the Tianxian and Jie teaching had been defeated by Chiyou, so who could laugh at whom?

  Huangdi heard this and did not entangle himself in the question again, but frowned and asked: "But Chi You's magical powers are so strong, what can we do about it?"

  The crowd of immortals fell silent, and for a moment, no one had any solution. Guang Chengzi suddenly lit up his eyes and said to You Chao and Suiren: "Both of you have the sacred artifacts of the human tribe in your hands, and you must not be afraid of Chiyou. If both of you take action, wouldn't it be easy to defeat the Jiuli tribe?"

  Huangdi Xuanyuan was shocked to hear this, and looked at Youchao and Suiren, asking: "I don't know if the two ancestors are willing to take action against Chiyou and others?"

  Youchao and Suiren exchanged a glance, their faces revealing bitter smiles. The other gods were perplexed. Youchao said helplessly: "Xuanyuan, we are the ancestors of humanity. Now that humanity is in trouble, we shouldn't be shirking our responsibilities. But this time... it's impossible!"

  The crowd of immortals was shocked, and Guang Chengzi asked in confusion: "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"

  Suiren smiled bitterly and said: "This great war between humans and witches, seemingly a struggle for the orthodox of the human tribe, is actually a test given to the human tribe by the Heavenly Way. As the leader of the human tribe who has experienced this trial, Xuan Yuan is one of the three emperors chosen by the Heavenly Way, and he should also undergo the test given by the Heavenly Way. If Xuan Yuan passes through it too easily, I fear that not only will the human tribe suffer many disasters in the future, but it will also be more difficult for Xuan Yuan to attain the Dao."

  The immortals heard the words and suddenly enlightened! Guang Chengzi sighed, "So that's how it is! However, Your Majesty has the Human Emperor's Supreme Treasure Kuafu Seal and the Human Tribe's Sacred Artifact Xuanyuan Holy Sword on his body, but his cultivation is too low. How can he defeat Chiyou?"

  Duobao Daoist also frowned and said: "Moreover, the witch tribe's large array is mysterious and abnormal, and it is completely different from my immortal dao array method. It is indeed difficult to find a way to break the array!"

  The faces of the disciples of Jie Jiao turned somewhat unnatural, after all, Jie Jiao was known for its mastery of array techniques, but today, the immortals couldn't find a way to break the array, which was quite embarrassing!

  The crowd of Xian no longer mocked the disciples of Jie, after all, this time the two sects were on the same front line, and if they sought to provoke each other at this time, it would be absolutely inappropriate.

  "Young Zhai laughed and said, 'Don't worry, fellow Taoists, when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a way. Xuan Yuan is after all the person chosen by the Heavenly Way, there is no reason for failure, it's just that he has to suffer tribulations!'"

  Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed and said, "Let's not mention Chiyou for the time being. Even his four great witches under him would leave us helpless with our bare hands. These four great witches once dominated the vast wilderness and even survived the Great Witch War, which shows their profound magical powers. What strategy should we use against them?"

  But then Yinglong stood up and apologized, saying: "Yinglong is incompetent, his magical powers are not as good as those of the Rain Master, he is ashamed!"

  Huangdi waved his hand and said, "Why did the immortal say this? Although the immortal was defeated, he also helped me a lot. My people are grateful to him!"

  Ying Long said in a flustered tone: "Your Majesty, please don't call me Ying Long Xian Chang again. I have come to assist Your Majesty with the Xu Qing Fu edict. If you are willing to accept me, please take me in!"

  Huangdi looked at Youchao and Suiren, saw that both of them nodded, and was overjoyed: "This is indeed a blessing for the Huang clan!"

  Yinglong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hastily got up and bowed to Xuan Yuan Huangdi, saying: "Your servant Ying Long pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

  Xuanyuan Huangdi burst out laughing and helped Yinglong up, exclaiming: "Although I was initially defeated at the hands of Chiyou, I have gained great ministers and generals. This is truly a blessing from Heaven for my people!"

  Everyone also congratulated Xuanyuan Huangdi, and the atmosphere that was just depressed for a while suddenly became lively.

  After this, everyone returned to the previous topic. Only then did Shang Xiang continue, "I beg to report to Your Majesty, the five elements generate and overcome each other. Since the Rain Master can control water with his magic, why not invite Princess Yu to come forward? With her abilities, she will certainly be able to subdue the Rain Master."

  Everyone was shocked by his words and did not know which princess he was referring to after the wind. The girl was here, so it shouldn't be her.

  Xuanyuan Huangdi's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly relaxed, sighed, and said: "It can only be like this! But it's a pity for the poor child!"

  Everyone was puzzled, and Guang Chengzi asked: "May I ask your majesty, who has such ability?"

  The Yellow Emperor looked at the puzzled eyes of the crowd, and sighed again, saying: "The teacher does not know that Xuan Yuan originally had a daughter. She was a kind and lovely person, but one day her body suddenly changed greatly, becoming stiff and hard, with no heartbeat or breathing, yet she could still walk and speak. What's even more surprising is that her body is extremely hard, and even the sharpest blades can't hurt her in the slightest. This is not all - she also has a magical power to control the fire energy between heaven and earth, making her almost invincible. However, every day she suffers greatly and cannot see the sun. Xuan Yuan saw this and had no choice but to order someone to build a cave for her on a desolate mountain. This matter is only known by the Prime Minister, and all others are unaware of it!"

  Everyone present couldn't help but sigh in amazement, this was indeed the grandeur of the Three Realms, where everything existed. The many immortals who were disciples of the Sage had broad knowledge and experience, yet they had never heard or seen anything like this before!

  Xuanyuan Huangdi took out a small sword from his sleeve, the sword was yellowish-brown in color, and a thick aura spread out, steady and heavy. He blew a stream of immortal energy onto the sword, and the sword suddenly emitted a humming noise, then transformed into a beam of sword light that disappeared within the large tent, instantly arriving at a distance of ten thousand miles!

  After sending out the small sword, Huangdi asked the immortals again: "Immortal seniors, I believe that my daughter can break the Rain Master Xiang Liu's Shu tribe's divine power, but what about the Shu tribe's great array?" He had seen the girl enter the Shu tribe's great array before, and even a person like her who had achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao fruit was helpless against it, which shows that the Shu tribe's great array is truly extraordinary!

  A group of immortals, you look at me, I look at you, without knowing what to say.

  It was Shang Feng who stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Eight Trigrams Formation has been completed. I wonder if it can be broken."

  Xuanyuan Huangdi was overjoyed when he heard this. He hastily asked: "Prime Minister, has the Eight Trigrams Formation really been completed?"

  "The minister dare not deceive Your Majesty!"

  The crowd of immortals was shocked and amazed, but Feng Hou unexpectedly proposed to break through the formation with another formation, which had never been done before.

  Zhao Gongming asked, "May I ask the Prime Minister, what is this Eight Trigrams Chart?" He was quite displeased. Among the three realms, even they, who were skilled in array techniques, had no solution, yet a mere mortal like Feng Hou dared to break an array with another array. Wasn't that saying that the Tianyi Sect's array technique was useless?

  After the wind, he smiled slightly and said: "I am a descendant of Fuxi Sheng Huang, I have been familiar with the way of Bagua Yili since childhood. I once wanted to create an eight-array map, use it to form an eight-trigram strange array, Xianmo Biyi, group evil do not approach! Heaven bless your majesty, the other day I have completed the eight-array map, but I haven't used it yet, I don't know how, but I am confident that the eight-trigram great array can fight against the Wuzhu great array!"

  Zhao Gongming's body shook, and he said with a strange glow in his eyes: "If the Eight Trigrams Formation of the Upper Sage can indeed break the Great Array of the Witch Clan, then I will definitely ask for your guidance at that time!"

  Just as Feng was about to respond, he was suddenly startled by a chill in the air. He looked towards the source of the chill and saw that the large tent had parted from both sides, revealing a clear figure. The figure was tall and slender, dressed in silver-white gauze, emitting an aura of unparalleled coldness. In an instant, the entire tent was covered with a thin layer of frost.

  The cold air had just passed, and a fierce flame suddenly covered the cold air. The temperature inside the tent rose sharply in an instant, evaporating and sublimating the previous layer of frost!

  Two completely opposite auras converge and blend together, simultaneously appearing in one person, both contradictory and natural!

  The crowd of immortals were shocked and stood up simultaneously, vigilantly staring at the figure. Now that all the immortals had gathered, they couldn't detect this person beforehand, which showed how extraordinary he was! Guang Chengzi was about to shout loudly, but saw Xuan Yuan Huangdi suddenly stand up with great joy and exclaim: "My son, you've finally arrived!"

  The crowd of immortals was shocked! Guang Chengzi choked and swallowed the air back, his face turned bright red, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

  Only then did that figure kneel down in front of Xuanyuan Huangdi and say in a soft voice, "Your son greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live forever!"

  It is: able to assist the emperor and repeatedly offer strategies, Xuan Yuan's daughter was called Hanba.
