Guang Chengzi said gently,

“Human Emperor, no need to rush, and Minister Feng, please remain calm.”

“His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has summoned us today mainly to rescue the mortals trapped in the Northern Continent.

The Northern Continent is shrouded in miasma that kills any mortal on contact; it is not a place suitable for propagation.”

“This shows the benevolence of the Heavenly Emperor, and our intervention is thus justified.”

“The reason our Chan Teaching has come to aid is actually to resolve the grievances between the Witch Clan and the Human Race, to reduce the bloodshed in this world.”

Off to the side, Immortal Taiyi blinked and muttered under his breath, “This is a well-rehearsed play, putting Li Ping’an firmly in the spotlight.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Guang Chengzi looked at Immortal Taiyi with some resignation and said seriously, “This is about righteousness!”

Immortal Yuding frowned and said, “Say a little less.”

“Okay, okay,” Immortal Taiyi laughed and said, “Anyway, this Poor Daoist is here for a magical combat today.

The Witch Clan’s battle techniques are famous since the ancient times, and I am particularly here to learn from them.

Later on, please find a few not-so-formidable Ancestral Witches for this Poor Daoist to deal with.”

Immortal Huanglong chuckled and said, “Brother Taiyi, you should try a punch from the Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming…

It’s impressively strong.”

Immortal Taiyi casually responded, “That’s quite unnecessary, I don’t have the endurance that you have, Third Brother.”

“Really, I’m not lying to you.”

“Don’t be noisy,” Guang Chengzi frowned and reprimanded, after which Immortal Huanglong and Immortal Taiyi resorted to whispering, huddling together and murmuring.

Li Ping’an truly hadn’t realized before that his Uncle Huanglong had a bit of a sly streak.

Li Ping’an said, “Do any of you have anything else to add?”

The immortals simply watched him with smiles.

Li Dazhi said, “We might as well draft a plan first.

We can’t just rush in and pick fights recklessly.”

“Father, do you have any insight?”

“Well…

let’s send an envoy to negotiate first, courtesy before force.

At the very least, we need to inform the Witch Clan of the purpose of our visit today.”

Li Dazhi stroked his chin, lost in thought for a while.

He suddenly felt that he too should grow a beard.

Li Dazhi continued,

“I’ve been contemplating this before; the Witch Clan is facing no small dilemma now.

That Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming has just been suppressed by elder Guang Chengzi with the Heaven-Overturning Seal.

While she may be angry at heart, she must also consider the future of the Witch Clan.”

“The Witch Clan is a dominant force from ancient times, having transformed from Pangu’s tainted blood, their roots run deep.”

“As such, the pride of the Ancestral Witches should be exceedingly high.”

“Let’s first go and have a thorough talk with her.

Provide her with all the face and benefits due to her, and see if she is willing to make peace with the Human Race…

Human Emperor, please forgive my presumption, but it is better to resolve old grievances than to perpetuate them.

Since ancient times, too many souls have perished, and today, with the Human Race establishing the New Heavenly Court, the Hundred Clans are restless, everyone feeling insecure, because if the New Heavenly Court stands firm, it means the end of the road for them.”

“Why not use this matter with the Witch Clan to send out a signal—though the New Heavenly Court is led by the Human Race, it can also accommodate the Hundred Clans that do no evil.”

“If this can be successfully promoted, the New Heavenly Court will face much less resistance in the future!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi nodded with a smile, “Sect Leader Dazhi speaks sensibly.

Feng, Cangjie, what are your thoughts on this?”

Fenghou and Cangjie both stood up to salute, “We shall follow His Majesty’s will.”

Cangjie added,

“During the turmoil caused by Chiyou back then, the root cause was not with the Witch Clan but with the instigation of the Hundred Clans and the guile of the West, overthrowing the Ancient Heavenly Court where the Witch Clan was the main force.

“In the past, our Human Race obtained the position of the ruler of the world because the Witch Clan was nearly decimated, which laid the groundwork for the aftermath of Chiyou’s turmoil.”

“The Witch Clan has been exiled to the Northern Continent for seventy to eighty thousand years; their crimes should be forgivable by now.

If the Heavenly Court of the Human Race could accommodate the Witch Clan and lessen warfare, it would be a fine story.”

“I presume, as long as the Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming bows her head and admits her faults, and sets up an altar to pay respects to the heroic spirits of the Human Race, those souls lost in battle from the past would also wish to see a reconciliation between the two races.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi pondered for a few moments, then turned to Li Ping’an and winked lightly.

‘It’s your turn to give the command.’

Li Ping’an immediately understood, “If so, then let’s proceed with courtesy before force.

Who among you is willing to take on the role of envoy and negotiate with the Witch Clan?”

The cabin fell silent for a while.

Then, three figures stood up simultaneously.

Master Cangjie, Sect Leader Li Dazhi, and…

Immortal Taiyi.
