Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 377 Brother Kong, Give Me Some Face
This kid… Yu Ding looked at Wen Zhong, who was solemnly handing over the talisman, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Surprisingly, they're quite savvy!
Yu Ding accepted the talisman meaningfully and said, "As for the connection between the two lads and Jade Spring Mountain..."

He didn't want to expose his relationship with Xiaobai Azheng for the time being, at least not to the point where everyone knew about it.

Firstly, although the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches come from the same source, one is transformed from the primordial spirit absorbing pure energy, while the other is born from the essence and blood absorbing turbid energy.

The relationship between the two parties is like the separation of chaos, where the pure air rises and the turbid air descends—very subtle, and there is no further interaction between them, as if neither wants to be involved with the other.

Even that senior uncle, who was known for 'teaching without discrimination', did not accept a single disciple from the Wu clan.

He can accept two disciples from the Wu clan, but as long as it's not made public, there's still room for maneuver.

Secondly, it's fortunate that we're not in the ancient times when the Lich and Demon races were at their peak, otherwise the fuse for the Lich Calamity would definitely have been lit by these two troublemakers.

Even so, the actions of these two could easily trigger a second Lich War...

Especially now, at this sensitive time when the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has begun.

The Investiture of the Gods was chaotic enough; if the Wu and Yao tribes were to launch a full-scale war, the situation could easily spiral out of control.

Wen Zhong asked in surprise, "Who is the immortal talking about? I didn't see him."

Yu Ding was somewhat surprised by Wen Zhong's reaction and performance this time, as he had understood the implied meaning of his words so quickly.

Previously, his impression of Wen Zhong had always been that of him as an upright and loyal figure in the original work.

But then he thought about it again and realized that the words upright and intelligent are not contradictory.

Which of those who rise to the highest positions in the court isn't a shrewd and capable person?

Yu Ding said, "Go and take charge of the army. I will return this item to you after I have finished using it."

Without hesitation, Wen Zhong clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then I shall take my leave."

He immediately turned around and went to the black unicorn tied halfway up the mountain. He then rode his mount and headed towards the North Sea in a great hurry.

Golden Spirit Mother… Yu Ding looked at the jade talisman in his hand; calling for help was just an excuse.

He needs some time to consider how to handle this matter.

Obtaining the contact information for the Golden Spirit Mother from Wen Zhong was merely an unexpected bonus.
However, he felt that calling on these brothers was not a good idea.

The main thing is... balance!
Yu Ding's eyes flickered, and two words popped into his mind.

Throughout history, the witch and demon races have maintained a balance, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

The three religions have always remained neutral and never interfered in the feud between the Lich and Demon races.

Although the Lich and Demon races are now in decline, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and they still have powerful backers.

He took in two disciples from the Wu clan. That's acceptable, as long as it's not exposed.

But if it gets exposed, and he then calls on his fellow Daoists from the Jie Sect to put pressure on him, then the problems that will arise will be huge.

Because in the eyes of the demon race, it is obvious that they would think that the Chan and Jie sects have sided with the Wu clan.

To fight against the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan will spare no expense and use any means necessary, and it's not impossible that they might even invite wolves into their territory if necessary.

He didn't have a good impression of the remnants of the Demon Court, but he didn't have any prejudice against demons outside of the Demon Court, after all, Yuan Hong and Xiao Fei were quite obedient.

He took in Xiaobai only as a result of Changqin's request, without any intention of disrupting the balance. At that time, Xiaobai was just a good-for-nothing.

but……

“My unintentional act has indeed changed things…”

Yu Ding smiled helplessly, especially when he thought about how he would soon have to face the person behind the demon race, which gave him a headache.

He finally understood why that senior master had said that sages do nothing.

He never expected that a casual, unintentional act would bring such a huge change to the prehistoric world.

"Let me think!"

In front of the Golden Cloud Cave, the Jade Cauldron clone closed its eyes.

The Jade Cauldron True Body, who was sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed in the courtyard of Chaoge, suddenly twitched the corner of its mouth, then opened its eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Not good!"

Bai Ze and Kong Xuan immediately looked over.

Kong Xuan asked, "Brother Yu Ding, what happened?"

Bai Ze teased, "Look at him, has he done too many bad things and is having nightmares?"

“Indeed, there is something that I need your help with. How about we go?” Yu Ding looked at the two of them, seeking their assistance.

Before Kong Xuan could answer, Bai Ze leisurely sat down in the pavilion, leaned against a pillar and laughed: "Isn't your jade tripod awesome? Beg me, and I'll agree to anything as long as I'm happy."

"Please? You're dreaming!"

Yu Ding sneered: "You said you wouldn't go, so don't blame me for not reminding you later."

After saying that, he calmly picked up a pen and started writing.

Kong Xuan and Bai Ze exchanged a glance, then looked at the composed Yu Ding, their eyes revealing surprise and doubt.

Bai Ze couldn't help but say, "Hey, what's the matter? Can you not just tell me half the story?"

Yu Ding remained silent, focusing intently on writing something on the jade slip before him.

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Brother Yu Ding, what happened that made you change your expression?"

Yu Ding glanced at Bai Ze and saw that Bai Ze was pretending to be indifferent, admiring the flowers with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with the two of us, it's not a big problem."

Yu Ding is keeping us in suspense again... Bai Ze gritted his teeth inwardly, but now that the great calamity has begun, many of their methods of understanding the secrets of heaven have become useless.

He then gave Kong Xuan a wink.

Although they haven't known each other for long, the three of them have gotten along quite well and have developed some understanding of each other.

Kong Xuan smiled helplessly: "Then what exactly happened, Brother Yu Ding, please tell us!"

Yu Ding glanced at Bai Ze again and said slowly, "It's nothing, I just heard that two newly promoted Great Witches from the Wu Clan somehow managed to break into Beiju Luzhou and are currently wreaking havoc."

"what?"

"What did you say?"

Two voices rang out at the same time. Kong Xuan was somewhat surprised, while Bai Ze suddenly turned around and rushed to the jade cauldron with a look of shock on his face.

"Yu Ding, is this news reliable? How did you get this information?"

He stared intently at the jade cauldron; the news had indeed given him a huge shock.

Yu Ding chuckled: "It's genuine, no doubt about it. As for how I found out, hehe, I have my own channels."

“It’s broken, it’s broken!”

Even Bai Ze, who was known as the wise man of the demon race, was visibly panicked this time, muttering, "If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid it will repeat the catastrophe of the ancient witches!"

Kong Xuan frowned and asked, "Is it that serious?"

"That's not all, Brother Kong, you don't know, the great calamity of ancient times was about to..."

Bai Ze wanted to explain, but his mind was in turmoil and he couldn't continue. Suddenly, he paused for a moment and said:

"That's not right. I did hear that a genius has emerged from the Witch Clan in recent years, but he's quite young and has been taught by Prince Changqin all this time. How could he have become an ancient great witch so quickly?"

Yu Ding coughed and said, "You misheard me. I was talking about a great shaman, not an ancient great shaman."

"That doesn't make sense either. There has never been a Great Shaman under the age of thirty. Besides, there's only one. Where did two Great Shamans come from?" Bai Ze looked at Yu Ding and Kong Xuan, completely puzzled.

Yu Ding said casually, "Perhaps the Wu Clan has something else up their sleeve that you don't know about."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. From ancient times to the present, the intelligence I, Bai Ze, have gathered has never been wrong," Bai Ze said unhappily.

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think what Brother Yu Ding said makes sense."

Bai Ze paused for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. He looked at Yu Ding and Kong Xuan and said, "This is bad. We must resolve this matter, otherwise the ancient calamity of the witches and demons may be repeated."

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Bai, didn't you fall out with those people? Why are you so anxious and concerned about this matter?"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Besides, Fellow Daoist Bai, please watch your words. It's 'I,' not 'we.' Remove 'men.' You can handle this matter by yourself. I won't get involved."

"you……"

Bai Ze's expression suddenly became extremely interesting.

Yu Ding added, "By the way, according to my information, Crown Prince Changqin has already gone to Beiju Luzhou..."

"Prince Changqin?"

Bai Ze's expression changed again. As former enemies, these were all very familiar names.

"Brother Kong, help me!" He looked anxiously at Kong Xuan. This matter was too big; there was more than one demon saint and one ancient great witch. He couldn't handle it alone.

As for the Jade Cauldron... a Golden Immortal is far less useful than Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Bai, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that..."

He didn't intend to raise prices; rather, his intention in coming out of retirement was to keep a low profile.

If he meddles in other people's business and his background is discovered, then when it's time for him to make a move...

"That's it, that's all!"

Bai Ze chuckled self-deprecatingly, glanced at Yu Ding and Kong Xuan, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fellow Daoists, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

Yu Ding dared not tease Bai Ze any longer and snorted, "Wait! You, surnamed Bai, invited Brother Kong but not me. Do you look down on me?"

Bai Ze asked in surprise, "You're willing to help me?"

"Hmph, serves you right for putting on airs when I call you."

Yu Ding snorted, "However, I have always kept public and private matters separate. Our accounts will be settled separately. When immortals fight, mortals suffer. Let's stop this catastrophe first."

Yu Ding's words filled Bai Ze with respect, and he couldn't help but ask, "What do you plan to do?"

Yu Ding said, “Let’s talk as we walk. Brother Kong, give me some face and let’s go.”

"Don't worry, I understand your difficulties. You don't need to lift a finger. Just show off your skills and set the tone. Leave the rest to me."

After a moment's thought, Kong Xuan nodded slightly and stood up: "Let's go!"

"That Yu Ding guy really has a lot of influence..." Bai Ze thought to himself, but he had to admit it.
At this moment, Yu Ding's sense of the big picture and sense of responsibility truly impressed him.

"You two take me with you on my journey. I have some grudges with the demon race, so I'll change my appearance first."

Yu Ding's body shone with a clear light and transformed into a young Taoist priest of about twenty years old, with an elegant appearance and wearing a light purple robe. He instructed, "Remember, my Taoist name is Tianxu. Don't let it slip."

Seeing this, Bai Ze and Kong Xuan exchanged a glance.
Immediately, the two were surrounded by white and blue light, and to Yu Ding's astonishment, they underwent a transformation.

Bai Ze transformed into an old man with white hair, stroking his white beard and laughing, "I am—Bai Xu!"

Kong Xuan, disguised as a middle-aged man around forty, coughed lightly and said, "Qingxu!"

"Why don't you two just die?"

Yu Ding's forehead was covered in black lines: "I protest, it's too awful, change it..."

boom!
Ignoring Yu Ding's protests, Bai Ze and Kong Xuan exchanged a glance, raised their hands, tore through the sky, and carried Yu Ding across the universe, rushing towards Beiju Luzhou at high speed.

……

At this time, in Beiju Luzhou.

boom! boom! boom……

One after another, powerful divine spells rose into the sky, chasing a streak of flame, but they collided and exploded with a burst of flame from his raised hand, emitting powerful shockwaves and dazzling light.

But this fiery rainbow returned, flying across the sky, and as it approached the group of demon kings who were chasing him, it annihilated them with a mere gesture.

"Hahaha, that's great..."

The figure in the flames laughed, conjuring fireballs with both hands and hurling them at the ground indiscriminately, creating a deafening barrage of explosions and screams.

"That kid Zheng is as ruthless as a villain in a storybook..."

With a cold expression, Xiao Bai dodged and weaved among the powerful enemies around him with his small and agile figure, and thought to himself as he looked into the distance.

While dodging the attacks, he also threw a punch, smashing one of his opponents into a shower of blood.

It's very difficult to leave a complete corpse.

This day will surely be a nightmare for the monsters of the Demon Court's remnants.

Something surprised Yu Ding: the situation here was more serious than he had imagined.

Xiao Bai is not Yuan Hong, and Chi Tianzheng is not Yang Jian.

When Yuan Hong and Yang Jian wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, although they were angry, they were also rational. Wherever they went, apart from the destroyed buildings, most people were injured or maimed, and very few died.

Today, Xiaobai and Azheng have come to avenge their people.

The place they passed through was littered with corpses, none of them injured; some places didn't even have bodies left behind...

Furthermore, the biggest mistake made by the remnants of the Demon Court was that, due to their overconfidence in their past glory, they failed to set up any array formations or barriers around the city.

Because they didn't believe anyone would dare to provoke the remnants of their demon clan.

As they had predicted, since they arrived in Beiju Luzhou, no one had ever dared to provoke them.

Until today!
"stop!"

Two long rainbows carrying powerful auras flew over, and seeing the tragic scene, they were both shocked and angry, and let out a loud shout.

Further away, several more auras rose up.

The territory of the Demon Court's remnants is vast, and according to the arrangement, each of the eight outermost directions is guarded by a demon god.

When they arrived, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been routed so badly, suffering such heavy casualties.

“You two little witch brats, I’ll kill you.”

One person soared into the air and charged towards the great enemy in the sky.

The other ran and shouted angrily, "Qing Jinyang, Qing Jinyang... where the hell have you been? You've disturbed the Demon Saint, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

In the last battle to seize the heavens, they suffered heavy casualties.

Moreover, all the demon saints were seriously injured; injuries sustained at that level cannot be healed in a short time.

All of this can be attributed to the sixth prince.
The sixth prince was also their sinner, and perhaps he was also feeling guilty, so he disappeared and was never seen again.

"Lord Xiangzhao, Lord Qingjinyang has...fallen."

One of the true immortal demon kings was filled with fear. In fact, the demon god guarding their area had made his move shortly after the attack.

Then, he witnessed a scene he would never forget...

Those two formidable enemies attacked from above and below, and in just one meeting, they split their demon god in two.

"Dead? Where did he die?" Xiang Zhao, the demon god, had a slight change in expression.

The Demon King looked around in terror: "They're everywhere here..."

"everywhere……"

The demon god Xiang Zhao glanced around, his expression changing slightly. He slapped away the terrified demon god and said, "Useless!"

He stared at Xiaobai, who was handling the battle with ease, and started running.

Each step he took seemed to cause a tremor in the ground, and his speed and momentum grew faster and faster. He appeared as if a giant mountain was emerging around him as he crashed into Xiaobai.

"You bastard, die!"

Xiao Bai's expression was cold and stern. He didn't say anything, but twisted his body, drew strength from the ground, and clenched his fist to throw a powerful punch at the charging burly demon god.

During his battle with Zhujian, he broke through the limit by twenty times, and after the battle, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found that his body had undergone an unexpected change. He had grown taller and stronger and had not regressed. Now he felt that he had inexhaustible strength in his body.

At that moment, he threw a punch at the head of the demon god Xiang Zhao.

boom!
After a loud bang, the demon god Xiang Zhao's eyes turned bloodshot and then, with a terrified scream, his head exploded like a watermelon, followed by his massive body.

Xiao Bai looked at his fist.

This demon god struck him as being far inferior to Zhujian.

"what!"

A scream brought him back to his senses. Looking up, he saw a burning demon god falling from the sky like a meteor.

"Little White, you're still the fastest!"

Chi Tianzheng laughed loudly. At this moment, he did not feel unhappy, but only extremely happy.

He might not dare to come here alone, but if he had someone with him, he would dare to go even if it meant tearing a hole in the sky.

A smile appeared on Xiaobai's blood-stained face: "You're not slow either!"
