Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 36 Rescuing Hongyun, Injuring Taiyi, the Second Lich War Begins

Hongyun was trying to escape while Kunpeng and Taiyi were confronting each other, but he was stopped by someone, Feidan, one of the Ten Great Demon Saints.

"Stay put! You'd better not even think about running away! Otherwise, you won't even leave a whole corpse!" Fei Dan's sinister voice appeared behind Hong Yun.

Hongyun tensed up. In reality, he was stronger than Feidan, but he dared not move because Feidan was not alone.

Besides Fei Dan, there are eight other demon saints. Although he is stronger than Fei Dan, if all nine demon saints attack at once, he will only die.

"Taiyi, you may leave now. I will pretend you were never here today." Kunpeng looked at Taiyi coldly.

"Kunpeng, let me make this clear to you: the Primordial Purple Qi is not something you can touch. As long as you remain in the Demon Court, you are a subject of the Demon Court, while my elder brother and I are the rulers. Do you understand?" Seeing Kunpeng like this, Taiyi simply stopped pretending and looked directly at Kunpeng, speaking coldly.

"King? Subject?" Kunpeng's face revealed a disdainful and mocking smile.

If they hadn't used force to suppress him back then, Kunpeng wouldn't have been forced to join the Demon Court.

He created the Demon Script for the Demon Court, thinking that he would finally have a place among the demons and in the Demon Court. But now it seems that it was just wishful thinking on his part!

"This Primordial Purple Qi originally belonged to me. If you dare to reach out, I will fight with all my might to kill you here!" Kunpeng released a strong killing intent as he looked at Taiyi.

"You can give it a try!" Taiyi reached out and summoned the Chaos Bell, coldly staring at Kunpeng.

Taiyi is now a Quasi-Saint of the Corpse Realm. Although Kunpeng advanced to Quasi-Saint a little earlier than him, Taiyi is confident that he can suppress Kunpeng with the advantage of the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell.

"Give it a try!" Kunpeng snorted and charged towards Taiyi.

As Kunpeng charged toward Taiyi, it trembled, and a faint golden light of merit appeared on its body, causing Taiyi's expression to change slightly.

Merit? Kunpeng actually held back a trick up his sleeve. Back then, he didn't fully absorb the merit from creating the demon script. It seems he never trusted the demon court.

Just as Taiyi thought of this, Kunpeng had already rushed over. Seeing the golden light of merit on Kunpeng's body, Taiyi gritted his teeth and could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

"Damn it!" Taiyi was at a loss as he watched the Kunpeng keep attacking, because he knew that once he attacked, no matter what the Kunpeng's condition was, he would be unable to escape the karmic retribution.

Suddenly, Taiyi caught sight of Hongyun, who was surrounded by the nine demon saints, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Kunpeng! Don't you want the Primordial Purple Qi? Then let's see if you can get it!" Taiyi laughed loudly.

But Kunpeng seemed not to hear him and continued to relentlessly pursue Taiyi, which made Taiyi frown.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Styx, Fellow Daoist Mosquito, it's your turn to make your appearance!" Kunpeng laughed loudly.

Upon hearing Kunpeng's words, Taiyi's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened in surprise. He had not expected that Kunpeng would have an ally.

After Kunpeng finished speaking, two black-robed Taoists flew out from the shadows. Their appearance was very abrupt. Before the nine demon saints could react, Styx and Mosquito Taoist had already arrived beside them.

The next second, the two demon saints were sent flying backwards. By the time the other demon saints reacted, Hongyun had already disappeared from the demon saints' encirclement.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng! Thank you for your gift!" Styx grabbed the red cloud in his hand, laughed loudly, and then prepared to retreat with Mosquito Daoist.

thump—

With the sound of a bell, Styx, Mosquito Taoist, and Red Cloud groaned, and blood immediately spilled from the corners of their mouths.

Upon seeing this, Kunpeng's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Am I the kind of person who only thinks about the beginning and not the end?"

When Kunpeng found Styx, he had already considered that Styx and his group might do this, so Taiyi was actually part of Kunpeng's plan.

In order to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, Kunpeng finally developed a brain and began to scheme.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hongyun finally erupted.

"Enough! What do you take me for? A magical treasure you can steal at will?"

But no one paid any attention to Hongyun. Kunpeng was still warily watching Taiyi, Taiyi was warily watching Styx, and Styx was warily watching Kunpeng. They formed a three-way standoff.

boom--

A powerful surge of energy erupted from Hongyun, unexpectedly shaking off Minghe's hand. In fact, this was Minghe's intention; he never intended to kill Hongyun, and he now looked down on the Primordial Purple Qi.

After Hongyun shattered the Styx River, he fled towards the direction of Wuzhuang Temple, even using the Blood Burning Escape technique during this time.

In the shadows, Maitreya and the Medicine Master were lying in ambush with the disciples of Mount Sumeru. When they saw Hongyun escape, they almost rushed out, but fortunately someone was a step ahead of them.

"Trying to run? Leave behind the Primordial Purple Qi!" Kunpeng snorted coldly when he saw that Hongyun actually wanted to run away, and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing that Hongyun and Kunpeng had both run away, Taiyi was naturally not going to give up, so he also disappeared from the spot, and the nine demon saints quickly followed.

"Should we follow?" Mosquito Taoist asked.

"Keep up, we have to go all the way with this act." Styx nodded.

After chasing for a short while, Styx and the others spotted Taiyi and Kunpeng, while Hongyun was engaged in battle with the nine demon saints. However, it was clear that Hongyun was no match for the nine demon saints.

"Senior Brother, should we make a move?" the Medicine Master asked Maitreya in the shadows.

"No rush. Now is not the time to make a move. If we are to make a move, it must be a fatal blow, otherwise we will be exposed." Maitreya shook his head.

On the other side, Zhen Yuanzi was watching Hongyun's precarious situation with great anxiety, constantly urging Pan Huang to hurry up and save her.

"Fellow Daoist Panhuang, let's hurry and save Fellow Daoist Hongyun, otherwise he really won't be able to hold on any longer," Zhen Yuanzi said anxiously.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, do you want a permanent solution?" Pan Huang asked.

"What do you mean?" Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback.

"If you want to solve this once and for all, then Hongyun has to die."

"what!"

"Of course, not the kind of death where the soul is scattered. We will preserve Hongyun's primordial spirit, but he must die in front of everyone. Do you understand what I mean?" Pan Huang said to Zhen Yuanzi.

"Shedding its skin like a cicada!" Zhen Yuanzi thought for a moment and immediately realized what was going on.

"That's right! There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days but not being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so Fellow Daoist Hongyun must die!" Pan Huang nodded.

"I understand." Zhen Yuanzi nodded.

Pan Huang hadn't initially considered doing this, but after thinking it over, he decided to do it anyway. Only by moving Hongyun into the shadows could his subsequent plans be realized. It didn't matter whether he died once or twice, as long as he was dead.

"You forced me to do this! You forced me to do this!" Hongyun suddenly roared.

After that, his aura became chaotic, and his body began to swell. This was clearly a sign that he was about to self-destruct!

"Not good! Get out of here!" Styx cried out in alarm, then grabbed Mosquito Taoist and disappeared from the spot. But before he fled, he very subtly shot a barely perceptible stream of blood-red energy into Red Cloud's body.

With Styx's warning, everyone noticed the strangeness of the red cloud, and the next second, everyone disappeared from the spot.

"It's our turn to step in!" Pan Huang said with a smile.

The next second, a look of horror and anger appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, no!"

After Pan Huang finished shouting, he jumped out, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches followed him out from the shadows, along with Zhen Yuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, no! We're here." If Panhuang's appearance was feigned, then Zhen Yuanzi's was a genuine expression of emotion.

Upon seeing Pan Huang and the others appear, Hongyun instinctively tried to suppress the violent fluctuations of his magical power, but he sadly discovered that he seemed to have lost control of the chaotic magical power within him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, all Ancestral Witches, avenge me!" Seeing that he was about to die, Hongyun shouted with his last breath.

As soon as he finished speaking, he exploded into a bloody mist, leaving everyone present stunned. Hongyun had really self-destructed, and in such a way that his soul was completely scattered.

But the crowd was not stunned for long, because after Hongyun self-destructed, he left behind a red gourd. On the gourd, a deep purple color was flowing, which was the foundation of the Great Dao, the Primordial Purple Qi.

"This is mine!" Upon seeing the Primordial Purple Qi, Kunpeng's face revealed an expression of excitement and greed.

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot. Clearly, he went to seize the Primordial Purple Qi.

thump—

At this moment, Taiyi no longer cared about the merits on Kunpeng. Now that Hongyun was dead, the Primordial Purple Qi was ownerless and belonged to whoever got it. As long as he obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, a little bit of karma was nothing.

"Stop Kunpeng!" Taiyi roared at the nine demon saints and charged forward himself.

"Get out of the way!" Because he was closer, Zhen Yuanzi arrived at the Soul-Scattering Gourd first and repelled Kunpeng and the nine demon saints with a wave of his hand.

Unnoticed by anyone, a drop of blood, glowing with a pale blue light, slowly sank into the ground. No one present, except Pan Huang, noticed it.

"Senior Brother, let's go back." The Pharmacist looked at the crowd vying for the Primordial Purple Qi and whispered to Maitreya.

"Go back and report." Maitreya nodded, and the group slowly disappeared from the spot, as if they had never been there at all.

"I, Styx, want this Primordial Purple Qi!" While everyone was fighting, Styx and the Mosquito Daoist joined the battle and fought with everyone. Then, when everyone was not paying attention, a wisp of blood with a blue glow silently passed into Panhuang's hand.

"Brother, it's our turn. Otherwise, they'll think our Wu Clan is easy to bully." After obtaining that wisp of blood, Pan Huang turned to Di Jiang and the others and said this.

Dijiang and the others had been itching to make a move for a long time, but Panhuang had repeatedly emphasized that the Ancestral Witches could only act after he gave the order.

"Hahaha, my Wu clan has set its sights on this Primordial Purple Qi!" Upon hearing Pan Huang's words, Zhu Rong was the first to jump out.

Zhu Rong flashed to Jiu Ying's side and punched him away, sending Jiu Ying flying. Jiu Ying's body exploded as it flew backward.

However, after a few breaths, Jiuying recovered again, but its face became much paler.

The other Ancestral Witches also sought out their opponents. The strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was now equivalent to that of a Quasi-Saint with Three Corpses, and there was no one present who could match them.

Even Taiyi was no match for them. Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, carrying the attack of the Chaos Bell, rushed in front of Taiyi and each punched him, severely injuring him and leaving behind the power of the laws within his body to continuously erode his flesh.

"Lord Donghuang!" Bai Ze and the others were shocked to see Donghuang seriously injured. They quickly abandoned their enemies and rushed to Taiyi's side.

"How does the scraggly bird taste?" Zhu Rong asked with a smile.

"Cough cough cough!" Taiyi coughed up a mouthful of blood. He looked coldly at Dijiang and Zhujiuyin. If looks could kill, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin would probably be riddled with holes by now.

"Dijiang!" Suddenly, an angry voice appeared above Dijiang and the others. It was Dijun who had arrived.

The next second, the Hunyuan Heluo Formation was instantly set up by Dijun, but the Ancestral Witches at this time were no longer the same as before. They flashed away from the formation's coverage area before the formation was even fully formed.

"Kill!" Di Jun snorted coldly, and countless demons rushed down.

Taiyi also took this opportunity to return to Dijun's side, and the nine demon saints also returned to the demon race camp.

As for Kunpeng, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only flash to Dijun's side.

Di Jun glanced coldly at Kunpeng without saying anything, but his eyes already showed dissatisfaction.

Styx quietly slipped away while Dijun was distracted by the crowd; it was inappropriate for him to be here now.

"The warriors of the Witch Clan are here! You little brats of the Demon Clan, prepare to die!" Chi You's voice suddenly appeared after the Demon Clan charged down.

Dijiang and the others turned to look and saw that the great shaman, led by Jiufeng, was leading countless shaman clan warriors straight toward them. A few breaths later, they were engaged in battle with the demon clan.

Watching the two sides clashing, Di Jun did not move, nor did the Ancestral Witches. They simply stared coldly at each other, their eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent, and their killing aura was undisguised.

"You scraggly bird, your true form isn't even here. Are you sure you want to start a war with my Witch Clan?" Di Jiang coldly stared at Di Jun.

"You can give it a try!" Di Jun snorted coldly, and put away the Hunyuan Heluo for future use.

"Give it a try? Then let's give it a try!" Zhu Rong, with his fiery temper, immediately roared out, and even revealed his true form while speaking, which made Di Jun frown.

"You bastards! Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun have already allied with my Wu Clan. How dare your people openly intercept and kill my Wu Clan allies on my Wu Clan territory and even threaten us? Sons of the Zhu Rong tribe, follow this Ancestral Witch and charge!" Zhu Rong coldly looked at Di Jun.

"Kill!" Di Jun said coldly. At this moment, whoever backed down would become a laughing stock in the prehistoric world.

Upon hearing Di Jun's command, the ten demon saints instantly led the remaining demons to clash with Zhu Rong. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams filled the air.

"Since that's the case, then let's fight." Jumang looked at the Wu Clan warriors who were already fighting with the demons and said coldly, instantly unleashing his late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation.

The other Ancestral Witches were the same; they instantly unleashed their late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, which immediately caused a solemn expression to appear on Di Jun's face.

He hadn't expected that all the Ancestral Witches had reached the late Quasi-Saint stage. Taiyi was seriously injured, his own body wasn't here, and Kunpeng was no longer a reliable opponent. This battle was likely to be quite difficult.
