709: Chapter 248 Xuan Ming’s Decision_2 709: Chapter 248 Xuan Ming’s Decision_2 “Let’s keep them for now, if there really is a Dao Immortal Tribulation later on, they will be the reason for Jie Sect’s culpability.”

“It really is giving Mother Gui Ling a headache.”

Li Dazhi spoke earnestly, “Mother Gui Ling, if you have time, why not discuss this matter with Ping’an?

Ping’an may have a solution.”

“I hope so,” sighed Mother Gui Ling.

Without saying more, Mother Gui Ling continued to focus on the magical combat below.

Li Dazhi also stopped worrying about the situation below and glanced at Luo Xuejing and Qing Su, who had rushed to Li Ping’an’s vicinity.

His gaze then locked onto Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch, who had not made a move yet.

Even though the situation was largely in their favor, there was still a force below that could not be overlooked.

Xuan Ming and those dozen or so Witch Clan masters.

Before the terrible demons took action, Immortal Yuding used Great Divine Power to send away all the nearby witches with his immortal power, to prevent them from being affected by the magical combat;

In the midst of the fierce combat, Guang Chengzi used Great Magical Power to protect the woods below, and Fenghou released the Eight Trigrams Plate to protect the heavens.

One above and one below, they naturally protected the entire Witch land.

It’s nothing more than conventions of Great Sects and great clans.

Suddenly, the voice of Daoist Qia Feng rang out:

“Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch!

What are you waiting for?

Do all those promises you made to this poor Daoist count for nothing?”

Immortal Taiyi, engaged in magical combat, glanced down and saw the old Daoist ends of the mixed-hair rope had now become two golden feathers; that Qia Feng Daoist took the opportunity to flee while he was fighting against the demons.

Immortal Taiyi cursed his bad luck and focused his gaze tightly on Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch to the side.

By the way, a pair of Treasure Swords appeared in his sleeve, Immortal Yuding and Divine Consort Fenghou simultaneously moved towards the area, forming a defensive triangle with Immortal Taiyi, protecting Li Ping’an within it.

Li Ping’an, oh right, at this moment one should say Pavilion Master Mo Wendi of Heavenly Square Pavilion, had a slight flicker in his gaze, and a cold smile crossed the corner of his mouth under the half mask.

“Xuan Ming!

Open your eyes and look!

Does the Witch Clan really want to conspire with these demons?

The Witch Clan still has a sliver of hope for survival, depending entirely on your own choice!”

Transformed into his Innate Dao Body, the hand of Xuan Ming that was clenched tight, once again opened.

The outer fringes where the death toll of terrible demons was gradually increasing caused increasing anxiety for the three disciples of the Western Sect’s Great Sect Leaders.

…

The visit to the Witch Clan posed two most troubling issues for Li Ping’an.

The first issue was how to find the beheaded Executioner Xingtian for a ‘suitable reason’;

The second issue was actually his attitude towards the Witch Clan and Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch.

It was rather complex.

First was the answer in his heart — Houtu could transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, which is an important part of the mythological stories, and the Witch Clan dwelling in the miasma of the Northern Continent was the main force in constructing the Hells.

But now, Houtu had not yet transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc to complete the Heavenly Dao, and the Witch Clan was the mortal enemy of the Human Race.

During the turmoil of Chi You, Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch was Chi You’s ‘great villain’.

Although Li Ping’an was the prospective Heavenly Emperor, behind this prospective Heavenly Emperor were several forces entwined, influencing each other, and he had to consider the attitude of Xuanyuan Huangdi and the interests of the Human Race.

Therefore, Li Ping’an’s previous thought process was very clear — to defeat one of the two remaining Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan and to allure the other.

That is, to defeat Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch, who was constantly at odds with the Human Race, and to allure Houtu Ancestor Witch, who had a relatively amicable relationship with the Human Race and was renowned for her benevolence.

First, to stabilize the Witch Clan under the name of the Heavenly Court, and then to gradually plan the matter of the cycle of reincarnation.

The situation had developed to this point and was within the several outcomes Li Ping’an had anticipated.

The only thing that made Li Ping’an feel miscalculated was…

The experts on one’s side were too fierce, and the experts on the enemy’s side were like scattered sand.

These demonic creatures of the Western Sect had combat strength, yet they dared not use it.

They were all fearful of death, hesitant, unable to even muster a decent siege, and even a good half of the demons were already preparing to flee.

In such a situation, Li Ping’an didn’t need to borrow from the Heavenly Dao, thus he avoided the backlash of its power.

What use is a multitude of demons that can only fight with the wind?

Normally speaking, as long as three hundred demons fought with all their might, the seven experts on the scene would also be under tremendous pressure.

At this time, Li Ping’an pondered for a bit, and began to shift his previous thought process.

To suppress Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch did not mean to suppress the entire Witch Clan;

Considering the various details before, Xuan Ming was also concerned about the Witch Clan, and this perhaps was Xuan Ming’s weakness.

If Xuan Ming were to join the opponent’s battle formation, then the Witch Clan masters who were watching the battle would surely follow Xuan Ming’s footsteps and join the opponent’s formation.

In such a case, although one’s side would not be defeated, they would likely have to pay some price, and they probably wouldn’t be able to expand the battle results further.

So, as soon as Daoist Qia Feng spoke up, Li Ping’an immediately counterattacked.

Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch fell into hesitation, and Daoist Qia Feng spoke up again to bewitch.

This disciple of Jie Yin, who had been badly hit in the buttocks, was frightened, his voice coming from all directions, making it impossible to discern his location.

“Xuan Ming!

Have you forgotten, you created eighty-one great witches, thrusting the Human Race into desperation!

How could the Human Race spare you!

The Witch Clan has no room for choice anymore!”

“Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch!” Li Ping’an immediately called out loudly, “As Pavilion Master, I can promise you, as long as you see the situation clearly and immediately kill these demons here, I can speak to the Heavenly Emperor and Human Emperor on your behalf, allowing the Witch Clan to leave this barbaric land!

The Witch Clan is derived from the tainted blood of Pangu and has the virtue of opening the heavens!

They also contributed to overthrowing the Ancient Heavenly Court!

Although merit cannot offset fault, Chi You has fallen in battle!”

“He’s deceiving you!”

Daoist Qia Feng roared:

“He’s just saying he will speak to them, but if the Heavenly Emperor and Human Emperor don’t agree, what will you do then!”

“Hahaha!

Absurd!

I, the Human Emperor, am right here!”
