693: Chapter 243 The Heaven-Overturning Seal Descends!

The dozen or so Witch Clan masters turned and quickly retreated.

Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming sat quietly on the stone seat, her narrow phoenix eyes reflecting a trace of contemplation, fingertips surrounded by wisps of cyan-blue immortal light.

Li Ping’an, hidden in the crevices of Immortal Huanglong’s palm scales, did not dare to focus his gaze directly on Xuan Ming.

He spread a weak strand of immortal consciousness beside Huanglong’s hand, through which he observed a blurry scene.

The light in the great hall had dimmed considerably.

Jie Yin’s fifth disciple, Immortal Qia Feng, had not left and seemed to be pondering something.

‘Had they premeditated this?’

Li Ping’an carefully recalled the details before and after the event, feeling a growing sense of confusion.

Many thoughts flowed through his mind like water.

To say Li Ping’an wasn’t frightened at this moment would be self-deception.

A vile Ancestor Witch who clearly harbored animosity toward the Human Race, a Daluo from the opposing faction who was indeed extremely resentful for having his Dao Body severed by him previously— these two were merely tens of feet away in a direct line from him.

If he were exposed, it would be the end of him.

The reason Li Ping’an had not been exposed was also thanks to Immortal Huanglong’s quick wit.

In a moment of crisis when his dragon body was gravely injured, he had wrapped the little bee in dragon blood.

When outsiders probed, all they could see was Huanglong.

Immortal Qia Feng smiled and said, “Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming, why not interrogate Immortal Huanglong?

Ask about that prospective Heavenly Emperor’s whereabouts?”

“Do you all in the Western Sect enjoy treating others as fools?”

The Ancestor Witch of Rain scoffed coldly:

“Immortal Huanglong is a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching.

Even during the heyday of my twelve siblings and me in ancient times, we could not lay a finger on him.

“If he intrudes into my territory, I am free to discipline him, and Yuanshi Tianzun has no grounds to blame me.

If I were to interrogate and torture Immortal Huanglong, how could Yuanshi Tianzun spare me?

“The Three Pure Ones are Pangu’s Primordial Spirit and have always looked down upon us, who were born from the impure blood of Pangu.”

Immortal Qia Feng fell silent: “It’s not like that.

This Poor Daoist has always held the utmost respect for the Twelve Ancestor Witches, but it’s that Ancient Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Jun, who is intolerant and targeted the Witch Clan.

The battle between the sovereigns of Heaven and the ruling powers of Earth greatly weakened both, providing an opportunity for the Human Race to grow into a threat!”

“Hmph!”

Xuan Ming ignored him, propped her forehead with her hand, and closed her eyes for a brief respite.

After an unknown length of time, a sudden commotion erupted outside; two War Witches ‘flew close to the ground,’ crashing heavily onto the floor and kneeling on one knee to report to Xuan Ming:

“Ancestor!

We’ve found a transparent Cloud Boat!”

“It bears the aura of a Daluo Golden Immortal and is rapidly approaching us!”

“Oh?”

Xuan Ming opened her eyes and asked indifferently, “What sort of Daluo Golden Immortal?”

The head witch reported: “Judging by the scent, it’s like that of a gigantic turtle!

The kind with very tough flesh!”

Xuan Ming nodded slowly, saying coldly, “There aren’t many turtle immortals in the Daluo Realm in the world.

With Immortal Huanglong here, and according to what Immortal Qia Feng said, Mother Guiling should be guarding beside the Heavenly Emperor.”

Immediately, Qia Feng said, “Ancestor Witch!

This might be Li Ping’an who learned of Huanglong’s capture and has come with Mother Guiling to demand his release!

Our success lies in today!”

Xuan Ming seemed to hesitate.

Suddenly, she stood up and in a flash, appeared in front of Qia Feng.

Qia Feng instinctively tried to dodge, but since he had recently assimilated this Dao Body and had not yet regained his peak strength, he was just a moment too slow and was pinned by the throat with a slender yet powerful hand.

Xuan Ming’s Innate Dao Body was extremely tall; with barely a lift of her hand, she had hoisted the old Taoist before her into the air.

“I told you, don’t treat our Witch Clan as fools!”

“Ancestor Witch…

you know the plight of the Witch Clan…

right now…

the only ones you can ally with…

are our kind…”

“Hmph!”

Xuan Ming nonchalantly tossed Immortal Qia Feng to the ground.

He, however, did not become agitated but stood up and bowed to Xuan Ming.

Immortal Qia Feng smiled and said, “Ancestor Witch, I used a subordinate in the Taiyi Realm as bait, and it only lured out Immortal Huanglong.

How shall we account for the loss in this situation?”

“That was a strategy you devised yourself.”

Xuan Ming stated flatly:

“Our head witch stumbled upon him meddling, and in a fit of rage injured him, that’s all.

“Are you implying you wish to blame me for this incident?”

Immortal Qia Feng remained speechlessly silent.

Li Ping’an, upon hearing this, suddenly comprehended.

Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming had previously mentioned, ‘You set up the trap to lure in a Human Race expert, but only ended up catching a ground dragon.’

The crux of the problem lay there.

The opponent’s plan must have been as follows:

[First, spread the news outward that the Witch Clan was on the verge of internal strife, then start fishing.

Xuan Ming commanded two Witch Clan tribes to feign conflict, while Immortal Qia Feng sent out that centipede spirit to create disharmony.

This part was actually all bait, waiting for the Human Race experts to come.

If the Human Race experts took advantage of the chaos to attack the Witch Clan, they would be met with a thunderous counterstrike;

If the Human Race experts attempted to show goodwill to the Witch Clan, they would undoubtedly attempt to capture the vicious centipede, thereby falling into a pincer attack by both the centipede and the Witch Clan.]

Brilliant!

Normally, those who cared about the Witch Clan’s situation, whether plotting against the Witch Clan or hoping to show goodwill, were supposed to be top-notch Human Race experts.

However, this plan had just begun when it encountered some unforeseen setbacks.

[A warm-hearted head witch traveled from another tribe and discovered the instigator of discord, flaming with rage on the spot.

‘Damn it, the Witch Clan is already in such a dire state, and you vile spirits still want to stir up trouble!’

Out of anger, he engaged the centipede spirit in battle.

Neither Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming nor Immortal Qia Feng could afford to intervene and stop this head witch, or else the entire ploy would collapse, so they could only watch as the centipede fled severely wounded.]

Unexpectedly, the vicious centipede was ambushed and struck down with a heavy blow by Immortal Huanglong, burned to ashes with a burst of true fire, leaving not even remnants.
