Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

Although they possess powerful treasures, they haven't achieved sainthood through the severing of their physical bodies. Defeating us is unrealistic for them!

Besides, I haven't even made a move yet!

Thinking of this, Ye Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became more serious.

Although his older siblings were at a disadvantage against Laozi and his group, they still had the advantage in numbers and strength!

With him added as an unpredictable factor, the outcome remains uncertain!

"You're right, little brother. They're only relying on their treasures; why should we fear them?"

"Just a few scruffy birds!"

"So what if they become saints by severing their own corpses?"

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and Zhu Rong's expressions hardened slightly, and they let out a disdainful snort.

Although Laozi and Dijun were quite strong, they showed no fear whatsoever.

Even under such circumstances, they fought even more fiercely, their fighting spirit soaring even higher.

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai's mind raced, and he then focused his attention on Hou Tu and Shebi Shi.

Although my eldest brother and sixth brother don't have much of an advantage, they're getting stronger with each battle. Even if we don't help them for now, it won't have much of an impact.

[Let's help Sister Houtu and Brother Shebishi deal with their opponents first, so the three of us can free up our hands to help our eldest brother and the others turn the tide of the battle!]

Having considered this, Ye Kai had already made his decision.

"Haha, not bad, little brother! These two scruffy birds can't do anything to me!"

"Not only does the thirteenth brother possess a primordial spirit and can cultivate primordial spirit techniques, but he also has such a strong fighting spirit. Not bad!"

"..."

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and Zhu Rong both smiled with relief. Ye Kai's plan was the best choice at the moment!

What Ye Kai was thinking seemed like a long time, but in reality it only took a breath or two.

Now that Ye Kai had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately moved to Houtu's side.

"Sister Houtu, I'm here to help you!"

As he spoke, the laws in Ye Kai's hand swirled, and all twelve streams of light turned earthy yellow. In just an instant, the laws of earth erupted forth.

"Alright! Earth Law, Suppress!"

Houtu had already overheard Ye Kai's thoughts and knew his plans. So, when Ye Kai arrived so suddenly, she was prepared and immediately used all her power to suppress Zhen Yuanzi.

The two of them simultaneously activated the Law of Earth, unleashing its full power, which was more than twice as strong as before!

Faced with Ye Kai and Hou Tu's sudden suppression, Zhen Yuanzi was somewhat caught off guard.

He quickly activated the Earth Book, and layers of earth-yellow protective shields burst forth.

"Among the Five Elements, Earth overcomes Water, and Wood overcomes Earth; the principle of Wood is hereby decreed!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately converted his own power of law.

The earthen-yellow power of the law in his palm instantly transformed into the emerald green law of wood.

Towering trees then sprouted and, following Ye Kai's arm, pierced directly into the earth's barrier.

Moreover, thanks to the blessing of Houtu's Earth Law, Ye Kai's Wood Law became even stronger, directly penetrating the earth's barrier.

Subsequently, those towering trees took root and sprouted within the earth's barrier, spreading outwards in all directions.

The once solid barrier of the earth crumbled and collapsed in an instant!

"How...how is this possible?!"

When Zhen Yuanzi saw this scene, he was also shocked and could hardly believe it!

At this moment, Ye Kai did not hesitate, "Spatial Law, Collapse! Time Law, Speed! Lightning Law, Shock!"

In just a moment, Ye Kai unleashed the power of four laws simultaneously.

First, he used the laws of space and time to exacerbate the collapse of the earth's barrier, and then he unleashed the laws of thunder and lightning to attack Zhen Yuanzi.

Lightning was swift, its speed no less than that of a rainbow, and it struck in an instant.

Even if Zhen Yuanzi wanted to resist or dodge, he wouldn't be able to react in time!

"boom--"

A dazzling bolt of lightning struck Zhen Yuanzi directly, causing lightning snakes to dance all over his body, and he was blasted away.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you already possess a spiritual treasure like the Earth Book, why waste your time here? Please leave to avoid incurring further karmic consequences!"

After blasting Zhen Yuanzi away, Ye Kai did not immediately pursue him.

[When Zhen Yuanzi fought Houtu earlier, he didn't seem to have much fighting spirit. There's no need to fight him to the death; we just need to get him to leave, just like we did with Nuwa and Fuxi before.]

After all, in this vast world, having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy!

Ye Kai thought to himself.

It was because of this method that he just decided to help Houtu deal with Zhen Yuanzi.

Once Zhen Yuanzi is driven away, only Hongyun will remain, and he will be easier to deal with!

"Hmm? My idea... is indeed quite good!"

Upon suddenly hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Houtu was taken aback and immediately stopped her attack.

Just as Ye Kai thought, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy!

Upon seeing Ye Kai and the other person's actions, Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed.

Finally, he glanced at Hongyun, sighed, and said, "Fellow Daoist's strength is remarkable, and your Daoist techniques are profound. I admire you. In that case, I am willing to admit defeat and leave with Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

As he said this, he pulled Hongyun up as well.

After all, he had seen Hongyun mocking Ye Kai and the other Ancestral Witches.

Although he was somewhat ashamed of this behavior, Hongyun was, after all, his good friend. If he left Hongyun here alone to face the combined attack of Ye Kai and the three Ancestral Witches, she would probably be in grave danger.

Therefore, even if he leaves, he must take Hongyun with him to avoid any unforeseen accidents.

"Can!"

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Ye Kai did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

Zhen Yuanzi was a man of integrity and loyalty, but he made a mistake in choosing his friends, befriending a hypocrite like Hongyun.

However, Hongyun is blessed but lacks the means, destined but lacking the virtue; he will inevitably face war and perish in the future, so there is no need to rush things with him!

"Thirteenth Brother actually intends to release... Hongyun, will he perish in the future?"

"Since my thirteenth brother can foresee the future, he must be right!"

"In that case, we'll do as our thirteenth brother wishes and let Hongyun go this time!"

"..."

When Ye Kai agreed to let Hongyun go, Zhu Rong and the others were initially reluctant, but when they overheard Ye Kai's thoughts, they were taken aback and stopped objecting.

After all, for someone who is destined to die, dying sooner or later is still the same death.

In contrast, driving them away and seizing the opportunities here is the most important thing now!

only,

Hongyun was somewhat reluctant upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words. "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you have the Book of Earth in your hands. As long as the two of us join forces, along with Laozi and Dijun and other fellow Daoists, dealing with these barbarians will be a piece of cake. Why leave now?"

"Heh! They don't even realize they're about to die!"

Hearing Hongyun's words, Ye Kai sneered, "Since that's the case, I'll teach you how to write the word 'death' first!"

Although he said he was not in a hurry to deal with Hongyun, it did not mean that he would let Hongyun provoke him, or even instigate Zhen Yuanzi to ruin his plans!

Since Hongyun is being ungrateful, then he has no reason to be ungrateful either!
