Chapter 247 Chi You Reluctantly Retreats to the Underworld
Zhu Jiuyin looked at Hou Yi again and asked, "Are you willing to take over the Hou Tu tribe? If you don't want to take over, it's fine. At most, I will spend more time and energy. But you must enter the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. Without Hou Tu, even if we have refined the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Witch Flags, we cannot set up this formation."

Hou Yi nodded and said calmly: "Follow the order of the Time Ancestor Witch."

After all, it was just a matter of taking care of a tribe, and it was the tribe he had always stayed in, so there was nothing to refuse for him.

After Zhu Jiuyin finished speaking, Pangu Hall fell into a long silence again.

After a few hours, Di Jiang asked, "How is the refining of the Demon-Slaying Sword going? I remember that after refining the Twelve Capitals of Gods and Demons, there were still a lot of human souls left. Can we use them to refine a demon-slaying sword that can threaten the Primordial Golden Immortal?"

Zhu Rong is the ancestor of fire witch, and almost all the refining work is done by Zhu Rong. Although he doesn't understand why Di Jiang suddenly mentioned the demon-killing sword, he still said, "No, I originally wanted to refine a demon-killing sword for my brothers and sisters, but then I changed my mind and refined twelve Dutian Shensha witch flags, so I only left a blade embryo. If I want to refine it now, I can refine one within ten years, but I can only refine one."

The Twelve Gods and Demons Witch Flags were specially developed by them for the Twelve Gods and Demons Formation, and they cost a huge amount of money.

In order to target the demon race, countless human souls were specially added into it, specifically used to refine restrictions to restrain the demon race, which naturally consumed a lot of materials.

There are not many human souls left. Zhu Rong's ability to refine another treasure that can threaten the Hunyuan Golden Immortal is already a testament to his advanced weapon-refining skills, with very few mistakes.

Almost ninety-nine percent of the human race were killed by the wizards and liches. Except for a few human tribes at the foot of Mount Shouyang, there is no trace of human beings left in the entire prehistoric land, so naturally, it is impossible to find souls to refine.

Di Jiang nodded and said, "In that case, you can refine a battle axe for Xing Tian. We have to make double preparations. After all, Hou Tu is the innate ancestor witch. If Hou Yi can't hold on, Xing Tian will have to take over. Refining a weapon for him can also save his life."

The other ancestor witches had no objection. After all, Xing Tian was also a great witch of the Hunyuan clan, and came from the same Houtu tribe as Chi You and Hou Yi. It was a perfect match for him to be in charge of this treasure, so it was quickly decided.

After the thirteen ancestor witches finished their discussion, they heard Xuan Ming sighing, "We are relieved, but what about my little sister? Are we going to see her locked up in the underworld and not be able to leave until the infinite calamity? This is too harsh."

As soon as Hou Tu was mentioned, the atmosphere in Pangu Temple began to gradually become tense. This was the pain of their lives.

They originally thought that their younger sister had died, but luckily she was resurrected. However, before they could be happy too soon, she was suppressed again. She had to wait for countless calamities to escape. How could they bear this?
Gong Gong shouted coldly: "One day sooner or later, I will overturn that Yingzhou Island! They dared to trap my little sister, they are really tired of living!"

Zhu Rong was one of the few people who stood on the same front with Gong Gong. He was filled with murderous intent and anger. "First, we will destroy the demon clan. When any of our brothers and sisters reach that realm, we will immediately overturn Yingzhou Island and destroy Taisutian! The entire prehistoric world was transformed by the Father God. My Wu clan is the real master of the prehistoric world. How dare these ants and scum dare to get involved and even disrespect us? They are really courting death!"

The other ancient witches also spoke up, and their words were full of resentment towards the two saints.

Zhu Jiuyin suddenly shouted, "Shut up! It's fine if you talk in Pangu Palace, but if anyone dares to talk nonsense outside, don't blame me and my brother for punishing them together!"

Di Jiang also scolded: "Every one of you can only show off your ability with words. If you are really asked to do something, you will only use force and don't know how to compromise. Do you really think you are the master of the prehistoric world? Even if you are the master of the prehistoric world, you are only equal to the saints. Now there are seven saints. If you add Luo Hou, it is equivalent to eight saints. How dare you fight these eight saints!"

After being scolded repeatedly by their two eldest brothers, Zhurong and Gonggong, who had been making the most noise, had to shut up. The other ancestor witches also shut up.

Zhu Jiuyin eased up a little and said, "Don't blame us for being so harsh, you should know that the current situation is very different from before.

Originally there was only one saint, Hongjun Daozu, but now there are seven saints watching over us. Even though they have been at odds with each other for a long time, they may not be kind to the Wu Clan, so we must gain corresponding strength!
This opportunity only exists in this calamity. If we continue to wait and allow those saints to reach some tacit understanding, the Witch Clan will really have no future at all.

Everything is controlled by these saints. Do you want to see the descendants of the witch clan suffer and serve as guards for others?
If you don't want to, then you can practice peacefully as soon as possible. Only with sufficient strength can you have sufficient dignity. Okay, everyone go away. Hou Yi and Chi You stay. I have something to say to you. "

The other ancestor witches didn't want to stay any longer and they all retreated. In the blink of an eye, only three ancestor witches were left. Even the two wise men, Dijiang and Xuanming, left Pangu Palace.

Looking at the two acquired witches with puzzled faces, Zhu Jiuyin sighed heavily and said, "Chiyou, you must lead the witch tribe to the underworld immediately. You cannot leave at will during this catastrophe. The war between witches and demons has nothing to do with you anymore."

The two were shocked when they heard this. Chi You quickly asked, "Master Zhu Jiuyin, why is this happening? I am also a member of the witch clan. How can I not participate in this war between witches and liches? Wouldn't that make me a laughing stock to all the gods?"

There were faint lights flickering beside Zhu Jiuyin, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"That's because in this war, the witch clan will definitely lose, and the demon clan will also lose. In order to preserve the last bit of vitality, you must leave, and leave under the name of a witch!" After hearing what Zhu Jiuyin said, Houyi frowned and asked: "Lord Zhu Jiuyin, do you see the future?"

Zhu Jiuyin practiced the Avenue of Time. This avenue was extremely rare and difficult to practice, but the benefits gained were also enormous. One could freely watch the past, present, and even the future.

But as the saying goes, the more you gain, the more you lose. If you put too much trust in the future predicted by the Avenue of Time, sooner or later you will be completely overturned by it.

The great way is equal. Even the great way of strength cannot say that it can control everything, let alone the great way of time?

The future predicted by the Avenue of Time is nothing more than the most likely outcome based on the current situation.

As long as there is the slightest fluctuation, this ending will be destroyed in an instant, and other endings will be more likely to become the future.

The further you speculate into the future, the greater the error you will make, simply because the Avenue of Time cannot control the operation of other avenues, and no one knows how other avenues will turn.

What Houyi feared was that Zhu Jiuyin would trust the Way of Time too much and end up hurting others and himself.

After hearing this, Chi You also felt that it was true. He secretly made hand gestures and tried to summon Di Jiang, because they suspected that Zhu Jiuyin had gone crazy.

As soon as Zhu Jiuyin saw the expressions of the two, he knew what they were thinking without even having to make any calculations. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I didn't predict the future, but I made my judgment based on the current situation. If you were a high saint and saw that the prehistoric continent and the sky were occupied by two races, would you let one win and the other lose, and let the winner occupy the entire prehistoric world, or would you let them both lose and leave in disgrace?"

After hearing this, the two were shocked and were about to refute, but in the end they had to admit that what Zhu Jiuyin said was indeed correct.

If the roles were reversed, they would not want to see the prehistoric world being occupied by two races. They would definitely want both races to suffer losses and exit directly.

If you are more vicious and just destroy them all, you will eliminate the trouble forever and have no worries.

But Chi You still didn't want to be a deserter, and said unwillingly: "Why not let other witch ancestors lead the witch tribe to the underworld? It's okay for the witch Emperor Jun, and the witch tribe leader can't leave, but the witch Xuanming is the witch of ice, who is naturally calm and is more suitable than me to preserve the last bit of vitality!"

But as soon as he said it, he knew how wrong it was.

Sure enough, Zhu Jiuyin immediately said, "Of course, we have to reassure those saints. Moreover, without Xuanming, how can we set up the Twelve Celestial Gods and Demons Formation? The Houtu tribe has you, Houyi, and Xingtian. Each of them can replace Houtu, but who in the Xuanming tribe can replace Xuanming? Moreover, if we leave behind an innate ancestor witch, those saints will not feel at ease, so we can only leave you behind."

Seeing that Chiyou was still unwilling to give in, Zhu Jiuyin threw down a word and turned away with Houyi.

"This is a joint decision by the eleven of us, the innate witch ancestors. You cannot refuse! You must immediately lead the witch tribe, as well as the three great witches Feng Bo, Yu Shi, and Jiu Feng, to the underworld. You are not allowed to leave without my order, unless I die!"

Feng Bo was from the clan of Tian Wu, the ancestor of wind, while Yu Shi was from the clan of Gong Gong, the ancestor of water. Both were unimportant figures in their respective tribes.

After all, the witch clan is now faced with many things, and it is difficult to extract a great witch to leave. Only these two great witches can leave the witch clan.

As for Jiufeng, as the sister of Qiangliang, the ancestor of thunder, she should not have left the tribe. After all, she is the next chief of the Qiangliang tribe, and naturally she must live and die with the Qiangliang tribe.

However, considering that Chi You was only an acquired ancestor witch, he might not be able to suppress the remaining power of the witch clan in the future, so Jiu Feng was allowed to leave.

If, even with the assistance of such a great witch of noble status, they still cannot suppress the remaining witch power in the future, then Chi You is really unworthy of being the chief of the witch clan, and the destruction of the witch clan is justified. They have already tried their best.

Chi You had no choice but to whisper to Zhu Jiuyin's departing back: "Chi You obeys my order. I hope to see you again in the future..."
