Chapter 906 Doctors are exempt from punishment

"None of the witches are any good! And they're ugly too! She not only fooled your friend, she even fooled me! If I had known earlier... I would never have given her a second glance! Sigh, it's too late to say anything now. So be it, I've never seen you, and you've never seen me." Nine Eyes got up and was about to leave.

Wei Yuan stepped forward and blocked the doorway, saying, "Lord Jiu Mu, are you leaving so soon? I have a friend who still has many things he would like to ask you!"

"You're just a mouse, what kind of friends do you have..." After spitting out angrily, Jiu Mu suddenly remembered something, glanced at Wei Yuan's loosely clenched right hand, and said, "My time is limited, and my patience is limited too. Ask me whatever you want to ask!"

Wei Yuan's face darkened, and he said, "My friend has a lot of questions, so you'd better be patient, otherwise even a mouse will bite a witch when cornered."

Nine eyes stared at Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan did not yield an inch!
Nine Eyes suddenly laughed and said, "I never thought I would be threatened by a groundhog! I may like to lie down and give up, but I'm not someone who doesn't care about dignity."

Wei Yuan said calmly, "If we were in the same era, it's still unknown who would ascend to the Heavenly Witch. So although I threatened you, it didn't damage your dignity."

"Hey you... what kind of dialect is that?"

“From the Eastern Wilderness,” Wei Yuan blurted out.

Nine Eyes slowly sat back down in his original position and said, "Go ahead and ask."

"My friend wants to know why you were so late after the battle?"

Nine Eyes was taken aback at first, then looked puzzled: "This has nothing to do with your friend, right?"

"It wasn't a problem before, but it became a problem just now."

Nine Eyes stared at Wei Yuan's unwavering eyes, his face twitching slightly. From beginning to end, he hadn't found an opportunity to strike. He had a hunch that if he attacked, Wei Yuan would inevitably have a gun in hand. And if he were even slightly grazed by the tip of Wei Yuan's gun, it would be a very, very bad situation.

Nine Eyes didn't know exactly how bad it was, but he had a general idea.

Wei Yuan secretly took stock of his situation. He still had ten million units of green energy and several hundred units of power-based witch luck, which he could use to unleash a single spear thrust.

Nine Eyes hesitated for a moment before finally withdrawing his gaze and saying, "There's a guy I don't want to offend who asked me to do something for him. He wants me to set up a trap for Molten Dragon every few decades to weaken his power. I can't let him make any contributions, nor can I let him grow stronger. I'll harvest him every time he shows a little promise. If Flame Tiger grows up this time, he will be a very useful asset, so Flame Tiger must die. The other three Desolate Witches have no future, so I'll keep them alive."

"What about the Flame Demon? Are they just going to abandon it?"

"That's something for the Ancestral Witches and the First Heavenly Witch to worry about. How much do I eat? Why should I have to consider so much?"

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why target the Molten Dragon?"

Nine Eyes said, "Molten Dragon is exceptionally talented, decisive, and has a long-term vision, showing the demeanor of a great general. If he were to become a Heavenly Witch, it probably wouldn't be long before he was able to compete for the title of First Heavenly Witch. Therefore, the Heavenly Witches will not allow him to become a Heavenly Witch."

"The Heavenly Witches?"

"You think this was orchestrated by the First Heavenly Witch? You're wrong. From the First Heavenly Witch to the Third Heavenly Witch, they all tacitly approved! Otherwise, do you think I would have agreed to let any Heavenly Witch ask me to deal with the Molten Dragon? They would never have allowed the Molten Dragon to become a Heavenly Witch. On the contrary, when I became a Heavenly Witch, all the Heavenly Witches unanimously agreed."

Wei Yuan remained silent. It seemed that the power struggles at the top were actually quite similar between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan. It was a pity that Yan Hu and Zhen Gang had become victims of this struggle in a sense. However, the Power Witch Clan was at the bottom overall, yet they were still trying to stifle their own geniuses. Wei Yuan could only sigh.

Although to some extent, Wei Yuan was also unwilling to see the Molten Dragon become a Celestial Witch, as that would add a terrifying enemy to the human race, the thought of Flame Tiger and True Steel still made Wei Yuan feel very depressed.

Wei Yuan said to Jiu Mu, "The Witch Clan is truly fortunate to have a Heavenly Witch like you."

Nine Eyes showed no anger and said, "I have lived up to what I ate and have a clear conscience! Besides, do you think that even if Molten Dragon becomes a Heavenly Witch, what difference will it make? What difference does a slightly stronger First Heavenly Witch make to an Ancestral Witch? On the contrary, someone like me is indispensable. If you could stand in the position of an Ancestral Witch, you would know that I am far more useful than Molten Dragon."

Nine Eyes stood up and said, "The story is over, the questions have been answered, and I'm leaving. Don't forget, I've never seen you before, and you've never seen me before!"

Wei Yuan blocked their path again, saying calmly, "Trying to avoid karma isn't so easy!" "What else do you want? If you push your luck any further, I'll be ruthless!" Jiu Mu's face darkened.

Wei Yuan said, "I heard that my friend went to the Witch Domain to find something. Once he finds it, he will leave immediately. However, if he wants to escape from the Witch Domain, he will probably have to use up most of his luck. So he will not cause any trouble and will leave quietly. But if he can't find it, then he will probably have used up all his luck in the Witch Domain."

"Then I wish your friend all the best."

"Thank you for your kind words." Wei Yuan stepped aside to make way for him.

As Jiu Mu walked to the door of the secret chamber, he suddenly asked, "If your friend were to go all out, how powerful would it be?"

Wei Yuan said, "That guy is a braggart. He always says that one shot from him can shorten his lifespan by tens of thousands of years. I don't believe it!"

Nine Eyes' face twitched again, and he said slowly, "Isn't it bad to reduce one's lifespan so easily?"

Wei Yuan sighed and said, "I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. As a result, that guy was burdened with karma because of all the bad things he did. But then he cultivated a secret technique that actually turned his karma into karmic fire to burn his enemies. Alas, the way of heaven is indeed unjust; good witches don't get good rewards, while bad witches live on for a thousand years."

Nine Eyes' expression shifted between anger and rage; he almost couldn't contain himself and slapped the groundhog into a pulp. But after glancing at Wei Yuan's clenched right hand, he suppressed his fury, pushed open the door, and vanished in an instant.

After Jiu Mu left, Wei Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the 'protective master' ability on the spear was so powerful that it gave Jiu Mu no chance, allowing Wei Yuan to calmly tug at it.

After Jiu Mu left, Rong Long entered the secret room, closed the door, and then sat down opposite Wei Yuan.

"Nine Eyes left without harming Flame Tiger's physical body. I should thank you for this."

"I don't have that kind of ability. He's still worried about you. Were you just attacked by a divine soul?" Wei Yuan asked tentatively.

Molten Dragon gently rubbed his forehead, his voice slightly slow, and said, "It wasn't a soul attack. From the day I arrived at the Edge of the Fortress, I discovered that many warriors there had no family or relatives, or if they did, it was as if they didn't. So I recorded the experiences and past of each warrior, so that even if they died in battle, I would remember them. Their chances of reincarnation would also be much greater, and they wouldn't simply vanish into nothingness."

Over the centuries, too many warriors have come and gone, and every shaman who arrives here carries a different tragic story. As these sorrows accumulated, I gradually became affected, forced to seal some of them away. If all these sorrows were released, I would lose control, but then… I would be incredibly strong.”

Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "There's been even more sadness today."

“One hundred and forty-two. It’s been a very, very long time since so many have died.” The molten dragon’s voice grew increasingly slow.

Wei Yuan's skin began to break out in goosebumps, as if he were being pricked by needles. He was horrified; the strength of the Molten Dragon was indeed unfathomable.

"Did you hear what Jiu Mu just said?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Is it about becoming a Celestial Witch? I know."

"you know?"

As expected, the dragon's attention was diverted, and its voice became clear and firm again. It said, "No one wants me to become a Heavenly Witch. In fact, they are afraid of me becoming a Heavenly Witch. If I become a Heavenly Witch, I will definitely bring their bloodline descendants to the Desolate Realm to build fortresses. Unlike now, the descendants of Heavenly Witches rarely go to the Battle Domain, let alone appear in the Edge of the Battlefield."

For a power sorcerer to evade service in the war zone is a serious crime, punishable by death or exile to the frontier if discovered. However, this crime is only strictly enforced against power sorcerers from impoverished backgrounds.

Wei Yuan continued, "They act so recklessly, is there really nothing we can do about it? What about the laws of the Witch Domain?"

"The law does not apply to high-ranking officials." Ronglong's words were a double entendre.

　Two updates at once, that's all for tonight.
