Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Bai Xundao’s Secret Arrangements

But it was said that Wukong and Yuan Hong headed towards White Tiger City. After traveling a short distance, they arrived in the city.

No sooner had they entered the city than they felt many Daluo Golden Immortal presences rushing towards them, as if intentionally created. Wukong’s expression did not change; he raised the Great Revolution Seal into the air at the city gate. All those presences were blocked, revolving around the Great Revolution Seal, unable to penetrate even slightly.

Yuan Hong said, "There must be at least ten or twenty Daluo Golden Immortals in that breath!"

Wukong said, "Hehe, I fear those Clans have heard of the Vermilion Bird Clan’s surrender and are uneasy in their hearts, gathering in White Tiger City to discuss how to resist my Water Curtain Cave."

After speaking, he flipped the Great Revolution Seal, slamming it down, grinding those presences into dust.

These presences were merely a show of force and were not intended to harm.

Wukong and Yuan Hong directly entered the heart of White Tiger City, where someone came to guide them to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon entering the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, there indeed sat about ten people.

The Qilin Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qingqiu Clan... etc., elders of the major Clans had all come forward.

Yuan Hong laughed loudly, "So, you youngsters wanted to give Laozi a show of force, is that it?"

Bai Yuhu bowed with his hands together, "Greetings, Divine Monkey Great General. We were merely discussing matters within White Tiger City, not at all intending the show of force you imagine."

Yuan Hong was truly an example of relying on seniority, a powerful figure who had survived the ages of the Ancient, equivalent to their ancestral generations. Who would dare to disrespect him? That would be a grave sin of betraying one’s teacher and annihilating one’s ancestors! Although people of the Demon Tribe were not strict about etiquette, they took this matter quite seriously, even more seriously than humans.

Yuan Hong nodded and said, "Oh! What are you discussing? Can I hear about it?"

Bai Yuhu smiled, "We are discussing whether to pledge allegiance to Water Curtain Cave."

Wukong then asked, "Have you reached any conclusions?"

Bai Yuhu replied, "No conclusions have been reached yet."

At this moment, a sickly middle-aged man walked in from the doorway, his face yellow and skinny, incessantly coughing.

Bai Yuhu hurried forward, kneeling on one knee, bowing with his hands together, "Old Ancestor!"

Yuan Hong frowned slightly, then burst into laughter, "Bai Xundao, ten thousand years have passed, how have you been?"

This ancestor of the White Tiger Clan was named Bai Xundao, indeed a good name. Wukong couldn’t help but take a close look at him; his injuries from the Great Dao were not lighter than those of the Green Emperor, which was apparent from his physique.

Bai Xundao let Bai Yuhu stand up, and smiled at Yuan Hong, saying, "Yuan Monkey, I am truly delighted to see you after so many years!"

Yuan Hong said, "What, you should be resting and healing, why come out like this?"

Bai Xundao sighed, "These youngsters don’t recognize what’s good for them. Now the Demon Tribe has fallen into such chaos, and a great calamity of Heaven and Earth is about to descend, yet they are still so selfish. Ah... it’s also because the few old folks in their families were unwilling to step forward, still harboring some selfish motives. Otherwise, how could the Demon Tribe have fallen to such a state?"

This Bai Xundao was also a Sect Founder level expert, every action and word of his had a peculiar charm, but unfortunately, he was severely wounded by the Great Dao, appearing somewhat frail.

The Clan Elders present felt somewhat guilty and began to excuse themselves to leave.

Bai Xundao shouted, "Wait!"

The crowd quickly bowed their heads and listened, "May I know what guidance the senior Bai has to offer?"

Bai Xundao slightly closed his eyes and drew a talisman in the air for each person, saying, "Take these talismans back, show them to your family ancestors."

Someone said, "I don’t know where my ancestor has gone, haven’t seen him for many years."

Bai Xundao then said, "Then place this talisman in front of your ancestor’s statue, they will take it when the time comes."

After receiving the talismans, the Clan Elders hastily left White Tiger City, not expecting to have stirred up the old ancestor of the White Tiger Clan.

Bai Xundao pointed to the chair and smiled, "Sit."

After everyone was seated, Bai Xundao then said, "I had already set up the stage, deliberately having the White Tiger Clan oppose you, only to intervene later with a talisman. Among these clans, some ancestors have already passed away, while others are still present. I believe they wouldn’t want to see the Demon Tribe in this state, and will certainly agree to this."

Yuan Hong sighed, "You all went to recover from injuries, leaving the clan affairs to the younger generation. With power in their hands, why would they want to give it up? Your move is indeed a clever tactic."

Bai Xundao laughed, "You seem to have been quite carefree."

Yuan Hong said, "How am I carefree? Haven’t you seen that I am only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm now?"

Bai Xundao shook his head and responded, "Your Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm is still better than being a sick patient like me, suffering from cosmic injuries all day. How about we switch?"

Yuan Hong knew Bai Xundao was joking and said, "I’d be willing to switch, but that depends on whether you have the ability or not."

Bai Xundao just gave a wry smile and said, "The recent anomaly in heaven and earth woke me, and only then did I learn that such a major event had occurred in the Earth Immortal Realm. Ling Weiyang has actually fallen, ultimately unable to escape his fate..."

Wukong couldn’t help but say, "Fate? What is fate! Fate can also be reversed."

Bai Xundao bitterly smiled, "Reversing fate is not easy. Countless people want to go against heaven and change their fate, only to end up dead. However, considering the merits you have accumulated in mending the heavens and having great fortune with you, you might be able to reverse this fate."

Yuan Hong asked, "Was there really such a thing as the Catastrophe of Yuan?"

Bai Xundao shook his head, "I don’t know, but Fuxi mentioned it."

After hearing this, Yuan Hong felt a chill, "If Fuxi said it exists, then it must be true. What else did he say?"

Bai Xundao pinched the bridge of his nose and frowned, "The Earth Immortal Realm will be destroyed. The secret of creation is in the River Map and Luo Book, and it requires the second Green Emperor to comprehend and recreate the world."

Upon hearing this, Wukong said, "That River Map and Luo Book are written cryptically. I only understood a few words—’Plant the Golden Lotus to create the world.’"

Bai Xundao laughed and said, "Others couldn’t understand a single word, but you managed to comprehend a few. That is extraordinary. However, the meaning needs to be deeply contemplated by you."

Wukong felt somewhat helpless and said, "Fuxi expects me to carry the responsibility of creation? How am I to create? Can I turn into Pangu and split open a new world with an axe?"

Bai Xundao shrugged, "If you ask me, I really don’t know."

Wukong thought to himself, "Is Fuxi playing tricks on me? The Catastrophe of Yuan, the destruction of the Earth Immortal Realm, and me to split heaven and earth? Hehe, with what shall I split it? Am I supposed to smash out a new world with my Buddha Beating Staff?" However, he didn’t believe in the Catastrophe of Yuan, the power of the saints was boundlessly strong, not to mention there was a Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch. Would he really watch as the world he created was destroyed?

Bai Xundao then said, "Although Fuxi calculated this, it should not be fully trusted. One hundred and twenty thousand years have passed, and in another eight thousand years, this prophecy will be revealed. Then we will see if the Catastrophe of Yuan really exists. My sick body should be able to last until then."

After hearing this, Yuan Hong nodded slightly; he admired Fuxi profoundly and believed in everything Fuxi said.

Bai Xundao bitterly laughed twice and sighed, "If not for the Catastrophe of Yuan mentioned by Fuxi, we, old bones suffering from cosmic injuries, would have sought our own end long ago. Who would want to struggle on day by day with just the power of Incense Willpower prolonging our lives?"

Yuan Hong’s heart was also filled with bitterness.

Bai Xundao said, "You may go. The White Tiger Clan will henceforth look up to Water Curtain Cave as the leader, and I will find a way to help you integrate the rest of the clans. The Catastrophe of Yuan is approaching, and the Demon Tribe must unite, or it will ultimately be destroyed."

Wukong bowed respectfully and said, "Then, thank you very much, Senior Bai."

Bai Xundao waved his hand, "I’ll leave first; my injured body truly suffers without the nourishment of Incense Willpower!"

With these words, he transformed into a beam of white light and rushed out of the hall, disappearing from sight.

Bai Yuhu said to Wukong, "If the Green Emperor has any requests in the future, just decree it, and my White Tiger Clan will never back down."

Wukong slightly nodded and said, "In that case, thank you!"

Bai Yuhu said, "It is a command from our ancestors; I dare not disobey!"

With Bai Xundao’s help in rallying the forces of Southern Ridge Demon Mountain, the task naturally became much simpler. Wukong and Yuan Hong no longer needed to travel and headed directly to Water Curtain Cave. They just awaited Bai Xundao’s talisman to take effect; when the ancestral commands were issued, all the clans would naturally pledge their allegiance.
