Chapter 246: Heaven intends to eliminate witches again

The reason why they wanted to destroy Zhurong and Gonggong in the first place was because their traces were the easiest to capture.

Because of Prince Changqin, Zhu Rong stayed in Wutong Valley all day to help Prince Changqin recover from his injuries.

Gonggong had been dissatisfied with Zhurong for a long time. Every thousand years, he would go to Wutong Valley to mock him. But after mocking him, he would also help Zhurong to stabilize Prince Changqin's injuries, so Zhurong reluctantly tolerated Gonggong's coming here.

But it is also true that the two have been harboring grudges for a long time. Gonggong's move may be to ease the relationship between them, but his mouth is too foul. Instead of easing the situation, it adds fuel to the fire and makes Zhurong secretly hate him even more.

In order to obtain this information, the demon clan lost more than twenty Golden Immortals, which was a heavy loss.

Originally, they wanted to provoke a fight between the two, and then help Zhurong at the critical moment to directly kill Gonggong, or make him suffer injuries that he could never recover from, like Prince Changqin.

However, the atmosphere in the witch clan is solemn now, and these two witch ancestors will definitely not fight again, so Di Jun also gave up this idea.

Kunpeng winked at Bai Ze, who immediately said, "Your Majesty, we must first exterminate the Twelve Ancestral Witches. You must know that there are two acquired ancestral witches in the Witch Clan. These two acquired ancestral witches came from the Hou Tu tribe."

After hearing this, Di Jun instantly became alert. Yes, in addition to the twelve innate ancestor witches, the witch clan also has two acquired ancestor witches.

Moreover, these two acquired ancestor witches are both ancestor witches from the Hou Tu tribe, so there is no guarantee that they cannot replace Hou Tu.

If Chiyou or Houyi, or both of them, were to replace Houtu's position, their plan would be equivalent to failure, and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation could still be set up, and their efforts would have been in vain.

Di Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Then tell me, how should we get rid of these two people?"

Bai Ze smiled and said, "This is not difficult. It's hard to say about Chi You. After all, he has no worries and is only focused on managing the largest witch tribe. But Hou Yi is involved in many things. Let's not talk about Chang'e flying to the moon. Let's just talk about the Hou Tu tribe. After all, the Hou Tu tribe was founded by the ancestor witch Hou Tu. The other ancestor witches will not sit idly by and watch the Hou Tu tribe decline. They will definitely send the witch tribe to manage it. Besides Hou Yi, who else is more suitable?"

Kunpeng also smiled and said, "That's right. Houyi is already restless, and he is sad about Chang'e flying to the moon day and night. Now he has to cheer up and take charge of the Houtu tribe. As long as we provoke him at the right time, we can lure him away from the Wu tribe and kill him directly! It will also be good to use Houyi's blood to refine the Tuwu Sword!"

As soon as Kunpeng said this, he immediately received strong approval from Xihe.

Houyi had a grudge against her for killing her children. Nine of her ten children were killed by him, and the remaining one was separated from her and her children to the ends of the earth. How could Xihe not feel hatred for him?

If it weren't for the overall situation, Xihe would have rushed into the demon tribe alone and vowed to kill Houyi!
Xihe said, "This is a great thing. If Houyi can be killed, it will not only boost the demon clan's morale, but also let them know that anyone who offends the demon clan will be killed no matter where they flee. It will also damage the witch clan's arrogance. If only Chiyou is left, he is not Houtu after all. Even if there are the Twelve Celestial Gods and Demons Witch Flags, the Twelve Celestial Gods and Demons Formation will definitely not have the original power!"

Chang Xi was a little cautious and asked, "Hou Yi is still an ancestor witch after all. Even if he is uneasy at the moment, there is no guarantee that other ancestor witches will not be watching him. If he acts rashly and alerts the enemy, wouldn't it be more harm than good?"

Emperor Jun agreed with what Chang Xi said.

Although he was also cruel to Houyi, he was the Emperor of Heaven Di Jun first, and then his father Di Jun. He had to put the demon clan first and could not decide things based on his own selfish desires.

If Emperor Jun had really acted on his emotions, the demon race would not have developed to its current level.

Fuxi suddenly spoke up at this moment: "I once asked the Queen Mother Wa, and the Queen Mother said: 'Chang'e is a clone of Changnu. She borrowed the fate of the tenth sunset arrow to be able to establish a relationship with Houyi as a couple, but love is love. Once there is love, there is fate, and the red thread will appear.'

The Yuelao must have the red thread of Houyi and Chang'e's marriage in her hand. If she can get hold of this red thread, she will be able to lead Houyi to the trap. The red thread is the thread of marriage and also the thread of fate. The other ancestor witches will not be alert."

After hearing this, the other demon kings suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Houyi, the ancestor of all witches, would fall in love with a mortal woman in the end.

Originally they thought it was true love, but now they realized that it was just a scam, a scam that had been expected.

But since he knew about this, as long as he could get the red thread of marriage, he could directly plot to kill Houyi.

but……

Donghuang Taiyi frowned slightly and said, "Moon Lady doesn't care about worldly affairs. She is also the Queen's clone. We can't rush to Moon Lady's palace. There are countless marriages and love affairs in that palace. It is really not a place for us to go."

The other demon kings nodded one after another. After all, if they were accidentally entangled in a marriage, they would have suffered a disaster in vain. If they were not careful, they would easily become a couple of enemies for ten lifetimes, which would be a tangled mess and extremely troublesome.

Fuxi smiled and said, "Your Highness has recently realized the secrets of heaven, and it is inconvenient for her to continue to be in charge of marriage, so she has given me full authority to take care of it. This is the red thread of Houyi and Chang'e's marriage, and I will give it to Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

After saying that, Fuxi casually grabbed in the air and instantly grabbed out a strange red thread.

The red line is winding, long and out of reach, and its shape is like a sharp arrow.

The end in Fuxi's hand was red as fire, and nine golden crows could be seen flying around in the distance. Finally, they were shot by nine long arrows on a golden bow, fell to the ground, and flew again after a while, repeating the process. Xihe was so angry that her eyes were about to burst, and Dijun's eyes were spitting fire.

As the long line spreads, the color gradually changes from hot red to cool silver. In the faint light, one can see a peerless beauty leaning against the incense burner with sad eyes, looking at the nothingness in front of her and sighing slightly, as if she is sighing why her lover hasn't come to find her, and also as if she is sighing why she can't get out of this relationship.

Each red thread of marriage tells the story of why this pair of infatuated man and resentful woman met and why they parted.

This red line is shaped like a sharp arrow, explaining that this marriage was caused by an arrow. The fiery red one is Houyi, and the silvery white one is Chang'e. Inside the fiery red end there are images of a golden crow dancing and falling, which is the beginning of the marriage; inside the silvery white end there is a beautiful woman sighing secretly, which means that the two are separated and it is difficult to see each other again, which is the end of the marriage.

Fuxi handed the red thread of marriage to Dijun and said, "I hope your Majesty will make good use of this thread."

Di Jun took it and said with a smile: "With this thread in hand, I am not afraid that Hou Yi will come to my door."

The matter had been decided, and several demon kings left the Lingxiao Palace one after another. Only Donghuang Taiyi was called out by Di Jun when he was leaving.

Donghuang Taiyi asked in confusion: "Brother, is there something wrong?"

Di Jun looked a little solemn. He threw out the River Map and Luo Shu and arranged the Hunyuan Heluo Formation in the middle of the two to ensure that even a saint could not hear about this silently. Then he said, "The demon clan will definitely lose this battle."

"what!"

Donghuang Taiyi shouted in disbelief, and seeing that Dijun was not joking at all, he slowly said: "Brother, did you see something? It must be an illusion caused by the evil spirit. How about I use the Donghuang Bell to cleanse some of your inner demons?"

Emperor Jun's eyes were filled with tears, and he said sadly, "I was not deceived, but I really saw the future. In that period of time, the demon race no longer had the glory of today, but became evil and deviant, and was hunted by the human race as food and as a foreign object for cultivation. At first, I thought it was just an illusion and didn't take it seriously. It was not until I saw that even Hou Tu Zuwu had achieved the power comparable to that of a mixed saint, but was unable to resist the suppression of those two that I realized that all this was not fake, but real!"

"No matter what we do or how we struggle, we can't escape the fate of being killed!"

Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "I don't believe in the secrets of the future. Everything in the prehistoric world is happening now. The future has never been decided. Even if those two can decide, there are five saints besides them who will not allow them to do evil. Brother, you have always been more confident than me. Why are you so desperate today?"

Di Jun's face was full of sadness, but he didn't want to say anything more.

Since the beginning of the world, no matter what he had experienced, even being humiliated in public, Di Jun had never been so sad. It can be seen that he had seen something that made him extremely desperate, which made him feel discouraged and felt that everything was unnecessary.

But until the end, Di Jun just forced a sad smile and said, "Maybe, the catastrophe is gradually rising. The aura of the catastrophe is too strong, even I am confused by it. My brother, you go first. I also need to think about how to lure Hou Yi out and then kill him."

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Di Jun worriedly, but Di Jun just remained silent and finally returned to his normal state, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

After Donghuang Taiyi left, Di Jun slowly looked towards the Hunyuan Heluo Formation. In his opinion, there was an unusual mark in the center of the formation. Although his magic power could still flow through the Hetu and Luoshu unimpeded, the presence of this mark always made people feel uncomfortable.

"Eternal Life..."

Di Jun said this in a deep voice, and finally put away the River Map and Luo Shu, took the red thread and went into seclusion.

Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Hall.

The thirteen ancestor witches gathered together rarely, but unlike the noisy and bustling in the past, the Pangu Temple was exceptionally quiet today. Even Gonggong and Zhurong, who were the most hostile to each other, were silent at this moment, with sorrow on their faces.

This is because among these fourteen seats, there is an ochre throne that will never light up again, indicating that an exceptionally kind and benevolent goddess will never appear here again.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Jiuyin slowly spoke: "Although Hou Tu has not passed away, it is difficult for her to leave the land of reincarnation. Without Hou Tu, it will not work to enter the formation. Chi You, Hou Yi, who of you wants to take Hou Tu's place?"

Seeing Chi You's slight hesitation, Zhu Jiuyin then added: "Replacing Hou Tu's position also means taking care of the Hou Tu tribe. Chi You, if you choose to take care of the Hou Tu tribe, then you have to let Hou Yi take care of your Wu Ren tribe."

Chi You, who was originally somewhat tempted, immediately gave up.

No matter how good the Hou Tu tribe is, it cannot compare to the Wu Ren tribe that he led since he was a child.

So Chi You shook his head and said: "Hou Yi has not yet established a tribe, so it would be best to let him take care of the Hou Tu tribe."

After so many years of secretly grieving himself, Houyi has now recovered a lot of his spirit. Inspired by the death of Houtu, he has finally returned to his former dignity as the ancestor of the sun.
