Can't Stand This Lousy Jie Sect Anymore
Chapter 607 - 474: Are You Worthy of the Title 'Saint'?
Buzhou Mountain.
Within the Pangu Hall, deities such as Emperor Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and Houtu gathered together.
Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch's eyes sparkled as he stared intently in the direction of Shouyang Mountain and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! If Tian Yuan Ancestor doesn't show up, so be it, but once he appears, he's bound to become enemies with the Demon Clan!"
Hearing this, Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch, who was beside him, promptly asked anxiously, "Big brother, what exactly did you see? What's the situation in Shouyang Mountain now?"
He was the Fire Ancestor Witch, controlling the way of fire. Although his mana was powerful, he couldn't, unlike Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch, disregard spatial distances to see what was happening on the faraway Shouyang Mountain.
"The situation is very favorable for our Witch Clan!"
Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch retracted his gaze and spoke earnestly: "Originally, we were worried that the Demon Clan, being numerous and powerful, would collect the Saint Blood faster than us. Unexpectedly, that long-missing Tian Yuan Ancestor has reemerged from somewhere and is currently leading a group of Saint's Disciples, clashing with the Demon Clan on Shouyang Mountain!
Just a short while ago, Tian Yuan Ancestor smashed over a million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to death with one hammer blow!
He scared the soul out of that Fei Lian, who hurriedly summoned Taiyi over..."
"Hahaha... even Fei Lian has his days!!"
Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch laughed heartily, taking pleasure in Fei Lian's misfortune: "In previous fights against us, that scoundrel always hid behind and used underhanded tactics, running away the fastest when it actually came to battle!
I've long wanted to kill him!"
"And you have the nerve to say that!" Gonggong Ancestor Witch frowned and scolded, "Last time it was because you were showing off, insisting on competing with Donghuang Taiyi to see whose flames were stronger, only to let Fei Lian's Tai Yin Bi Feng (Great Yin Spiteful Wind) blow all the Divine Fire back at us, almost burning our own people!"
"But it didn't burn us, did it?" Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch retorted, disgruntled.
Gonggong Ancestor Witch sneered: "Do we need to get burnt before we can learn a lesson?"
Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch became furious upon hearing this and was about to have a proper argument when Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, sitting at the head of the table, quickly spoke up with a furrowed brow: "Stop arguing, it's all in the past... *cough cough* What's most important now is to fight this battle well! That's the plan we've set from the start: to disrupt the Demon Clan's arrangements on one hand, and on the other, to hurry and collect the Human Race's Saint Blood!
Now that Tian Yuan Ancestor has engaged Donghuang Taiyi, Shang Yang, Ji Meng, and Fei Lian—four Quasi-Saints from the Demon Clan—he has greatly aided us!
We must take this opportunity to try to slay those Demon Clan experts!"
"That's correct!"
Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch said eagerly: "Donghuang Taiyi usually hides behind the ten Great Demon Saints, controlling the Chaos Bell to invert Qian Kun, to disrupt Yin Yang. If not for you, big brother, and second brother, even space and time would be arbitrarily altered by him!
This time we must take the chance when he's alone to eliminate him, or at least seize the Chaos Bell!"
"Hmm."
Gonggong Ancestor Witch spoke gravely: "This is indeed a good opportunity to slay Donghuang Taiyi. However, we can't delay the collection of the Human Race's Essence Blood. I have heard that the Demon Clan is currently forging that so-called Witch Slaying Sword, a Divine Weapon designed specifically against our Ancestor Witches' bodies!
Right now, Shouyang Mountain has attracted a large gathering of the Human Race!
The Demon Clan definitely wants to capture Shouyang Mountain badly, and we can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"There's no rush for now!"
Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch said with a smile: "Let's wait until they have fought with Tian Yuan Ancestor first..."
"Ah?" Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch looked at him confused: "Aren't you overestimating Tian Yuan Ancestor a bit? It's already not bad that he managed to defeat Fei Lian, but Donghuang Taiyi is no easy adversary, and neither are Ji Meng and Shang Yang, who are both ruthless characters.
How could Tian Yuan Ancestor alone contend against four Quasi-Saint powerhouses like Donghuang Taiyi?"
Emperor Jiang said in a deep voice: "Last time he managed to leave the Heavenly Court in one piece, and even gave Donghuang Taiyi a good beating. I can feel that he has become even stronger, and there's likely to be no mishaps this time!"
Zhu Jiuyin added calmly from the side: "Moreover, even if he isn't a match for Donghuang Taiyi and the others, it's not a bad thing. If we save his life when he's in peril, wouldn't it earn us additional favor?"
"If you put it that way... it seems to make some sense."
Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch stroked his coarse beard thoughtfully and nodded, "So, our move here is to watch the tigers fight from the mountain?"
"That's the idea."
Emperor Jiang nodded slightly, then pointed a finger into the air.
The air in front quickly solidified, coalescing into a gray-white screen.
Following that, the screen began to reflect the scene above Shouyang Mountain.
At this moment, over Shouyang Mountain, an enormous Imperial Chariot occupied the whole sky.
Donghuang Taiyi looked coldly indifferent, with his hands behind his back, his gaze frostily fixed on Yu Yuan.
In other directions, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, and Fei Lian—these three Demon Saints—surrounded Yu Yuan, looking at him with extreme coldness in their eyes.
Yu Yuan could feel the unmistakable enmity and intent to kill in their stances.
After all, these fellows were all Quasi-Saint powerhouses, and Donghuang Taiyi even had the Innate Treasure, Chaos Bell, in his hands!
Even though, with last time's experience, he was somewhat hesitant to use the Chaos Bell, Yu Yuan still vigilantly intensified his caution.
It was just him.
Had it been someone else, even including Emperor Jiang or Zhu Jiuyin these Ancestor Witches, faced with such a formation, they would have probably turned and fled long ago.
After all, with the situation of equal Quasi-Saint power, facing one against four is far too difficult!
However, for the current situation, Yu Yuan's strategy was... to confront head-on!
