Chapter 209: Nine Suns Fall and Chang'e Appears
Xihe hugged Lu Ya and cried loudly, almost fainting. Her sad cries spread throughout the entire prehistoric continent, and all the monster creatures felt pain in their hearts. This was the pain brought by the death of the nine Golden Crow princes.
Changxi was also extremely sad. She supported Xihe with one hand and pointed her other hand at Houyi, saying sternly: "We must kill him! Avenge our poor children!"
Di Jun stood there in a daze, looking at the nine bodies of the Golden Crow that were frozen into ice on the distant wild land. The golden fire of the sun god was burning near the bodies. It was the blood of the Golden Crow princes and the last symbol of their existence in the world.
And the long silver arrow on the heart was the cause of their death!
His eyes gradually turned red, drops of blood fell from the corners of his eyes, and he gradually fell into madness.
Although he always claimed to be a fair emperor, in his heart he preferred the Big Sun Golden Crow to the twelve Taiyin Moon Rabbits.
No one will like someone who is very similar to themselves, because it will make them feel disgusted from the bottom of their heart; but no one will hate offspring who are very similar to themselves, because it means that their bloodline is well preserved and their will will continue to develop in their offspring.
But there was only one left out of the ten Great Sun Golden Crows. How could he not feel pain in his heart?
"Damn it! Give me your life! Die!"
After a moment, Di Jun suddenly became furious, his face was full of blue veins, and a rage burned behind him, even transforming into a huge golden crow burning with dark magic fire. Di Jun was actually possessed at this moment.
The Sun Demon Crow roared, spread its wings and flew high. Its three sharp claws suddenly broke through the space and grabbed Houyi's forehead fiercely.
Apart from immobilizing Houyi and saving Lu Ya, Donghuang Taiyi did not take any other action. Seeing Di Jun showing his power at this moment, he stood by to protect him in case of any accidents.
He knew how much affection his elder brother had for the Tenth Prince, but today all that affection was gone, and his heart was filled with hatred instead of love. Naturally, he had to take action himself to regain some of his sanity.
Hou Yi was frozen in place by the sound of the bell, and his magic power was in turmoil. He could not struggle and could only watch the three sharp claws grab him. At this critical moment, a loud laugh suddenly rang out in the void, and a huge fist appeared out of thin air beside him, smashing down with great force, causing ripples in the boundless space.
Afterwards, Houyi discovered that the sound of the bell that was fixing him was disturbed by the ripples in space, and there was a slight flaw. He took this opportunity and immediately turned around, avoiding the fate of being pierced through the forehead. Instead, one of his arms was torn off.
Seeing that the fist had not changed its momentum and was heading towards the Sun Demon Crow again, Donghuang Taiyi frowned slightly and raised his fist to hit back. The two fists, one big and one small, collided with each other, and the winner was the seemingly tiny one.
Strange laughter echoed in the void. In addition to pride, there was also uncontrollable anger: "You two flat-haired beasts, you indulge your children to wreak havoc on the earth and kill all living things, but you don't allow others to hunt them. You are even more shameless than us. You are simply ignorant!"
One figure after another appeared out of nowhere, some walked out of the void, some jumped out of time, some walked slowly on the earth, and some walked together in water and fire.
Twelve figures gathered together, and they were none other than the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The person who spoke was Ju Mang.
This ancestor witch, who was as kind as Hou Tu, couldn't help but get furious at this moment. The other ancestor witches also had unfriendly expressions and were filled with anger on their faces.
It was because they were awakened by a terrifying evil spirit during their retreat. They hurried out to take a look, only to find that ten Golden Crow Princes had transformed into suns, sweeping across the vast land. They didn't know how many witches had died as a result, and corpses were everywhere.
No matter how many great witches tried to save the tribe, it was ultimately just a drop in the bucket and it was difficult to maintain the tribe's original appearance.
It would have been fine if only the ten Golden Crow Princes transformed into the sun, but they evolved the solar body along the way, which somehow linked them to the supreme sun star, thus causing great changes.
The temperature of the sun is rising day by day, and the various disasters and changes it brings are not something that these great witches can easily resist.
For this reason, only Houyi, the great wizard, went out to hunt the Ten Princes, because the other great wizards were in the prehistoric land, suppressing all kinds of natural disasters and calamities, otherwise the damage to the wizard clan would only be more serious.
The reason why Ju Mang was so furious was that Kuafu, one of the great wizards he favored the most and whom he even believed could succeed him as the ancestor of the wizards, was killed alive by the Tenth Prince in an extremely humiliating way, which he could never tolerate.
If Kuafu was killed openly, not to mention Ju Mang, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches would have no objection and would only think that Kuafu was weak and deserved to die. However, they could not tolerate such a sinister plot and naturally went to seek redemption.
When they followed the trail and found Jiuyang Mountain, they happened to see Houyi hunting nine golden crows. They were extremely delighted, but when they saw several people from Heavenly Court trying to bully the weak, they naturally had to help.
After hearing Ju Mang's words, Xuan Ming couldn't help but hold his forehead slightly and said, "Third brother, if you can't speak, then don't say anything!"
Gong Gong also said with a little disdain: "What do you mean by more shameless than us? More shameless than you is almost the same. We are upright and aboveboard, how can we be shameless?"
Ju Mang also felt that what he had just said was a bit self-contradictory, so he could only remain silent.
Xihe held Lu Ya in her arms and shouted to the twelve witch ancestors: "If you hand over Hou Yi, today's matter can be put off for now. If you still want to protect this villain, don't blame me for launching a full-scale army to completely crush this inferior race of yours!"
Di Jiang cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Let alone anything else, the ten children you gave birth to were simply misfits. It was a worthy death for them to be killed by our Wu clan. Not to mention what they did to my Wu clan, just the fact that they transformed into the sun and wreaked havoc on the prehistoric world is enough to make even a saint look at them sideways. Houyi killed them today, and that was also justice for the heaven! Look, even the heaven has bestowed merit on Houyi. It seems that the son you gave birth to is so naughty that even the heaven can't stand it." Sure enough, acres of golden clouds of merit fell from the sky, no less than a thousand of them, of which more than six hundred merged into Houyi's body, and the remaining golden clouds of merit merged into the silver giant bow.
With the integration of hundreds of acres of golden clouds of merit, the giant bow was gradually dyed golden, emitting a faint aura of merit, and actually turned into a spiritual treasure of merit. It was of good quality and was born with a ray of solar luck, which was obviously obtained from hunting the Golden Crow.
And at the position of the bow handle, several innate divine characters appeared out of thin air, and it was called: Sun-Shooting Bow.
As soon as the Sun-Shooting Bow was born, it jumped out of Houyi's hand and went to devour the nine golden crow corpses on the prehistoric land one by one. After devouring the last corpse, nine golden divine arrows appeared on the Sun-Shooting Bow.
These nine golden arrows coexist with the Sun-Shooting Bow. They are sure to hit the enemy with one strike. It can be said to be a great killing treasure.
The Sun-Shooting Bow then returned to Houyi's hands.
Di Jun and his companions were blocked by the Twelve Ancestral Witches and could only watch as the Sun-Shooting Bow devoured the nine bodies of the Golden Crows. Although they felt painful, they could do nothing about it.
The fact that Heaven bestowed merit upon Golden Crow only meant that even Heaven could not tolerate what Golden Crow had done, and that the reason why Heaven did not bestow divine punishment upon Golden Crow was because of the good fortune of Heaven.
Xihe's eyes were red with anger, and she wanted to rush up and tear Houyi to pieces right now, but Dijun reached out to stop her and said in a deep voice: "Return to heaven!"
Xihe suddenly turned around and stared at Dijun, the anger and pain in her eyes were so strong that they almost burst out. Dijun felt even more pain in his heart after seeing this, but he could only say: "Now is not the time to start a war, go back to heaven first, my heart will only be more painful than yours, and I will kill them thoroughly in the future!"
Chang Xi also advised: "Sister, we must take a long-term view and not be careless. What's more, Lu Ya is still here. If we really fight, what will Lu Ya do? Sister, can you really watch Lu Ya fall into danger again?"
Yes, if a fight really breaks out, Lu Ya will definitely be in danger. It will be very difficult for them to stop the Twelve Ancestral Witches. After all, each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and they are on the earth, so their strength has greatly increased. Although Houyi suffered a serious injury, it does not mean that he has no ability to fight.
When Xihe thought about these things, she held Lu Ya's hand tighter and tighter. Finally, without saying a word, she turned into a ray of Taiyin fairy light and rushed into the sky. Changxi was afraid of Xihe's impulsiveness, so he hurriedly followed.
Di Jun and Tai Yi looked coldly at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and also turned into light and left.
Seeing their mortal enemy suffer such a great loss, Zhu Rong laughed loudly, patted Hou Yi's shoulder fiercely, and said: "Good boy! You killed the ten little birds born by the old bird. Although there is only one left, it is also a great achievement. I will make you the fourteenth ancestor witch!"
Hou Yi's face was twisted in pain after being slapped hard on the shoulder by Zhu Rong, the ancestor of fire. Although he had the merit to nourish him and stabilize his injuries, he did not want to absorb all of the merit. Instead, he stored it and turned it into a golden wheel circling behind his head. At this moment, his injuries were still serious and he could not withstand the slap from this ancestor of fire.
Hou Tu noticed Hou Yi's strangeness, and pushed Zhu Rong away without leaving a trace, saying gently: "Since your injuries are serious, why don't you follow me back to the tribe to recuperate? After you have recuperated, you can lead your tribe."
Hou Yi nodded, and then he couldn't help but say sadly: "It's a pity for Kuafu."
When Kuafu was mentioned, the twelve witch ancestors fell silent. They could not accept that Kuafu died in such a humiliating way. Ju Mang even said in hatred, "That flat-haired beast! Even if Emperor Jun took him to the ends of the earth, I would kill him. Otherwise, it would not be enough to quell the humiliation suffered by Kuafu!"
Because this was not the place to talk, and Houyi had become the Fourteenth Ancestral Witch and needed to announce it to the entire Witch Clan, so the Twelve Ancestral Witches left Jiuyang Mountain and returned to Buzhou Mountain.
After the Twelve Ancestral Witches walked away, a ray of moonlight descended from the sky and landed on the top of Jiuyang Mountain. The moonlight then expanded into a wheel, and an unparalleled beauty slowly walked out of it, looking at the mountain that was almost razed to the ground and marveled at it.
"There are actually some rocks left here. It seems that this Jiuyang Mountain is indeed destined to be with us. Otherwise, Hou Yi would not have captured the nine golden crows again."
Changnu clicked her tongue.
Then Changnu stretched out her hand on the mountain, and a little bit of moonlight emerged from the void. Under the guidance of the magic formula, these bits of light tried to gather together, but these lights were too weak. Often, when they condensed here, they collapsed somewhere else. Or, at the last moment, they collapsed inexplicably, which was enough to drive people crazy.
However, Changnu was extremely patient. After nine days, she finally condensed the moonlight into an illusory arrow shape.
It was the moon-white arrow that was dispersed by the Donghuang Bell.
Seeing the illusory arrow finally condense, Changnu smiled and said, "With this arrow, I have a connection with the Sun-shooting Bow. Maybe I can get this treasure. After all, I made the longbow.
But Uncle Wangshu said that I have been practicing the "Taiyin Yuehua Shenzhang" for many years, and I need to go through 365 tribulations. Now I have only gone through 364 tribulations, and there is still one love tribulation to go through. Only after going through it can I achieve the body of the innate Taiyin Jade Rabbit. Maybe I will have to be husband and wife with Houyi. "
Changnu did not object to the idea of being a couple, but if she got close to Houyi like that, Houyi would definitely be on guard. She had to think of a good way to hide herself, and also come up with a new name.
After all, this was related to cultivation, so she didn't dare to be careless. After thinking for a while, she said, "I heard that Grandmaster Nuwa once created a race called humans, and the women among them were also called Nv'e. In this case, let's give them another name, Chang'e."
