Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 51: The Weakness of the Wu Clan

Hou Tu was silent for a moment and said, "Second brother, look at the people below. We do have the advantage, but we have lost 30% of our people in this battle!

The people of the demon clan don't cherish their own people. Could it be that the people of my witch clan are the same as them?
What's more, although the demon tribe seems to have been suppressed by us, there are thirteen quasi-saints in the demon tribe. If it really comes to the last moment, they will fight us to the death and self-destruct.

Even if we can wipe out all the demons, how many of our Wu clan members will be left? How many of you and I will be left?
Even the Buzhou Mountain left by the Father God may be affected."

Hou Tu's words left Zhu Jiuyin silent. He couldn't help but recall the scene he had seen in the long river of time where the witch clan and the demon clan went to war, resulting in heavy casualties.

At that time, I always discussed with my eldest brother how to deal with this situation and minimize the casualties among the tribesmen.

Now that this scene is right before my eyes, what I am thinking is why they don’t continue fighting. There is obviously something wrong!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jiuyin regained his sanity.

A moment later, the twelve ancestor witches and Bai Jing gathered in Pangu Temple.

Nuwa was outside treating the members of the Wu tribe.

The atmosphere in Pangu Hall was somewhat heavy. After a long while, Emperor Jiang finally broke the silence and said, "I didn't expect that so many of our clansmen would die in this war. I originally thought that our Wu clan was stronger than the Monster Clan and that we would be able to defeat the Monster Clan very quickly if a fight broke out. In the end, I still underestimated them.

If we had known this earlier, we should have tried to delay the war until the western earth veins were repaired, or we should have set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons formation from the beginning to destroy the demon race in one fell swoop."

"Brother, this is not your fault. We have only begun to understand the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. If we force the formation, even if we can severely damage the demon clan, we ourselves will be backlashed by the evil spirit. I'm afraid the gain will outweigh the loss." Rushou said.

"Yes, our witch clan is stronger than the demon clan, so there is really no need to set up this large formation in the beginning." Gonggong also agreed.

“Later, as long as we can completely repair the western earth veins, everyone’s cultivation can be improved with the help of the merits of the earth. In addition, my younger sister has already given birth to a spirit. With my younger sister here, we will be able to fully comprehend the Twelve Heavenly Demons Array soon. By then, the demon clan will have nothing to fear and can be destroyed in a snap.” Xuanming said.

The ancient witches spoke one after another, trying to comfort Dijiang who was blaming himself.

Dijiang felt much better after listening to his brothers and sisters.

Seeing that Dijiang's expression had eased a little, Hou Tu immediately changed the subject, further distracting Dijiang's attention: "Daoyou Bai Jing, did you do something just now? Was that white light emitted by you?"

Bai Jing nodded and told the witch ancestors that Nuwa came to see him.

The ancient witches had different expressions when they heard this.

"Did Nuwa come out to interfere with us intentionally because she saw that the demon tribe was about to die?" asked the hot-tempered Zhu Rong.

"I don't think so. Fellow Daoist Nuwa should really want to stop the war between the two races." Bai Jing said.

"Daoyou Nuwa is indeed kind-hearted. Am I right, Sister Xuanming?" Houtu asked Xuanming.

Xuan Ming nodded.

"No matter what, Nuwa saved many of our people. We Wu Clan will remember this favor and will find a chance to repay her in the future.

The demon tribe should be scared after this fight, and they will not take any action in the short term. Once the tribe members have recovered from their injuries, we will continue to repair the earth veins in the west. When the repair is complete, it will be time to settle accounts with the demon tribe!"

"Yes, big brother!" The ancient witches answered in unison.

On the other side, the demons had also returned to heaven. In this battle, the demons suffered heavy casualties. The only good news was that the demons' quasi-saints were all seriously injured, but none of them died.

In fact, think about it, if one can cultivate to the level of a quasi-saint, his ability to protect his life must be impeccable. If worst comes to worst, he can still self-destruct and die together with the enemy.

Unless there is a huge gap in combat power and there is no time to self-destruct, the self-destruction alone will be enough to make the enemy afraid to act rashly.

The demon tribe members looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Donghuang Taiyi, who had been gloomy all the time, spoke first. He looked at Di Jun and said, "Brother, what should we do now? Our demon tribe has suffered heavy losses this time. Are we just going to let it go?"

Di Jun's expression was not much better than Tai Yi's at this time. After hearing Tai Yi's words, Di Jun said expressionlessly: "What else can we do? Keep fighting? Do you want my demon clan to be completely wiped out?"

Taiyi lowered his head unwillingly when he heard this.

Di Jun was not angry because of the battle with Di Jiang. The two had been fighting for more than ten years and the fight was evenly matched, with neither of them gaining much advantage.

What made Di Jun angry was that the overall strength of the Wu clan was so strong!

Di Jun always thought that after destroying the Immortal Court and seizing a large amount of luck, the strength of the demon clan had reached a new level, surpassing the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn in the past. They were definitely the strongest force in the prehistoric world. Not to mention being able to wipe out the witch clan, they could at least win easily.

Who knew that the witch clan was so powerful? The demon clan had the advantage in numbers, but still collapsed at the first touch.

And it's not just in terms of mid- and low-end combat power, the demon clan is also far inferior to the witch clan in terms of high-end combat power.

This war made Di Jun completely understand that the demon clan was no match for the witch clan. What made Di Jun even more worried was that after this war, the demon clan lost nearly 60% of its soldiers, while the witch clan only lost less than 30%.

As one gains strength while the other loses strength, I'm afraid the demon clan will no longer be a match for the witch clan.

Everyone present was not a fool. They had more or less guessed what Di Jun was thinking, but they had no good solution to the current situation and could only remain silent. The atmosphere suddenly reached freezing point.

At this time, Bai Ze, the military advisor of the demon tribe, stepped forward and said to Emperor Jun: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the Wu tribe is strong, they are not invincible."

Emperor Jun still had great faith in Bai Ze, the military advisor, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Ze smiled and began to analyze: "Your Majesty, as of now, the overall combat power of the Wu Clan is indeed stronger than our Demon Clan, but this battle also exposed a fatal weakness of the Wu Clan."

"What is the weakness?" Di Jun asked.

“The Wu Clan clearly had the upper hand in the previous battle, but they accepted the mediation of Queen Wa in order to get her help in saving the Wu Clan members.

Dijiang's emphasis on his tribesmen exposed the Wu tribe's biggest weakness, which is that there are too few of them.

Although the Wu Clan is powerful in combat, there are not many members in the clan, and it is difficult for the Wu Clan to reproduce, so it is extremely difficult to replenish the population.

Although it seems that we have suffered much greater losses than the Witch Clan in this battle, our demon clan members are spread all over the prehistoric land. As long as Your Majesty raises his arm in Heaven, with Your Majesty's prestige, countless demon clan members will come to surrender in an instant.

Even if Your Majesty relaxes the conditions, the number of my Heavenly Army can be even greater than before.

On the other hand, the Wu Clan’s losses in these three layers are substantial, and they cannot be replenished without several Yuanhui.”
