Chapter 52: Chapter 52 [The Wrath of the Demon Emperor, Arms Rise Again]

When the young Golden Crow heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, at a loss for what to do.

Although he had been born for many eons, due to Emperor Jun and Xi He’s overprotective care, his temperament was far less resolute than that of cultivators at the same realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have run out of the soup valley because of a word from the Great Golden Crow, and recklessly gone near Buzhou Mountain to slaughter the Witch Tribe.

As a result, after angering the Witch Clan, he brought upon himself the disaster of his own death!

Looking at the heartbroken young Golden Crow, Xuanqing couldn’t help but sigh: "Hou Yi has already left! However, your father king and mother queen, along with the Demon Clan’s forces, have descended to the lower realm! They are currently in a standoff with the Twelve Ancestor Witches! If this poor Daoist is not wrong, a earth-shattering war between the Witch and Demon Clans will soon erupt!"

And Xuanqing’s true self is currently channeling the "Submerged Abyss Contracting Earth" Divine Skill, crazily shuttling through the earth’s veins, not wanting to be involved in the great war of the Witch and Demon Clans.

He doesn’t have the strength for that either!

Whether it’s Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi or the Twelve Ancestor Witches, a casual strike from them holds the might to destroy heaven and earth, and is not something he can handle.

This is still under the circumstances where the Witch and Demon Clans have not used the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" and the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array," and are not fighting with the Celestial Star power against Pangu’s Giant Body.

Only after escaping nearly a hundred million miles away did he release the young Golden Crow from the "Mountain and River Map": "You should be able to return to the Heavenly Court on your own, right?"

"Yes!"

The young Golden Crow nodded, then asked doubtfully: "Since you are a disciple of Nuwa, why don’t you return with me? Or do you have some other matters to attend to?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing immediately coughed lightly and said: "Although I am a disciple of Nuwa, I am also a Direct Disciple of the Jie Sect, and it’s not appropriate for me to involve myself in the conflict between the Witch and Demon Clans! Saving you was also only on account of Nuwa’s favor!"

This young Golden Crow, while still immature in character, is very intelligent due to possessing Emperor Jun’s Bloodline, and immediately perceived that Xuanqing did not wish to return to the Heavenly Court with him.

"Jie Sect?"

The young Golden Crow’s brows furrowed slightly, then carefully examined Xuanqing and said: "Are you one of the humans created by Nuwa?"

"That’s right!"

Xuanqing nodded his head.

Then, he waved the "Mountain and River Map," a Spiritual Treasure symbolizing the identity of Nuwa, in front of the young Golden Crow: "But I am also considered a half-successor of Wa Emperor!"

Identity outside is what one asserts.

He was created by Nuwa herself, a member of the Innate Primordial Human Race, had listened to Nuwa’s teachings, cultivated techniques granted by Nuwa herself, and even held the "Mountain and River Map" symbolizing Nuwa’s identity – who would dare to say he wasn’t an authentic successor of Wa Emperor?

Of course, in doing so, he was also trying to make use of "Nuwa’s tiger skin" to urge Demon Emperor Jun to restrain the man-eating behavior of the many members of the Demon Clan.

Nuwa does not intervene.

But with the status and power of a Saint there, those who fear the power of a Saint would let their imaginations run wild!

Just like the Demon Clan, Nuwa has never been involved in the affairs of the Demon Clan, but because of the nominal connection to "Wa Emperor," who knows how many Demon Clan members regard her as the Saint of the Demon Clan?

Pulling tiger skin is not something only the Demon Clan does; Xuanqing is also very skilled in this tactic.

As long as the young Golden Crow tells Emperor Jun that a member of the Human Race holding the "Mountain and River Map" saved him, Xuanqing believes that Emperor Jun will certainly imagine some things.

For instance: Nuwa cares about the Human Race!

Otherwise, why would she bestow such a precious treasure as the "Mountain and River Map"?

And Xuanqing is playing on the discrepancy of information; he is gambling that Emperor Jun cannot fathom Nuwa’s thoughts.

"Daoist You Wen, farewell!"

Xuanqing didn’t say much, directly used the "Traveling Earth Golden Light" Divine Skill, and disappeared from the young Golden Crow’s sight.

You Wen is the name of the young Golden Crow.

As the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, it’s natural that the ten sun crows have names. They are, respectively: the eldest Golden Crow Bo Huang, the second Golden Crow Zhong Lang, the third Golden Crow Shu Kun, the fourth Golden Crow Ji Xuan, the fifth Golden Crow Xian Rui, the sixth Golden Crow Lu Jun, the seventh Golden Crow Ya Qiong, the eighth Golden Crow De Shen, the ninth Golden Crow Ren Jing, and the tenth Golden Crow You Wen.

However, due to the incident with Pan King, leading to Emperor Jun’s deep apprehension about the Curse Technique, aside from Emperor Jun and Xi He, and a few other close beings, not many from the Demon Clan knew the true names of the ten sun crows.

It was not easy for Xuanqing to get this information.

During the Sealing God Tribulation, with the "Immortal Slaying Flying Saber" and the "Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book" at his disposal, Lu Ya, a Daoist from the Chan Sect, is very likely the surviving young Golden Crow.

But within the Jie Sect, there are also many disciples from the Demon Clan, and they are unaware of the names of the ten sun crows. Xuanqing has suspected that "Lu Ya" may be an alias.

Although according to his strategy, as long as the Heavenly Court is not lacking Immortal Gods, or if the Twelve Golden Immortals have not been involved in murderous tribulations, a future Divine Enthronement War might not occur.

Still, to be safe, he secretly obtained a feather from the young Golden Crow and, under the identity of a descendant of the Wa Emperor, managed to extract the young Golden Crow’s true name.

If this Crown Prince of the Demon Clan knows what’s good for him, then the preparations Xuanqing has made will naturally not be used against him.

But should the day come when this Crown Prince of the Demon Clan becomes an enemy, then do not blame Xuanqing for striking first, using the inheritance of Pan King to curse kill him in advance!

Knowing the true name of the young Golden Crow, and wielding a feather infused with his aura, leveraging the curse technique of Pan King, the life and death of the young Golden Crow would be at his single thought.

"You Wen, my Daoist friend, do not let me down!"

Seeing the young Golden Crow transform into a rainbow and leave, Xuanqing immediately revealed himself and watched as the other party disappeared into the horizon.

...

Elsewhere, the Witch Clan led by the Twelve Ancestor Witches, and the Demon Clan led by Emperor Jun, because of what the ten sun crows did, a fierce war had already erupted.

Emperor Jiang sneered, "Damned Demon Clan, we have not even begun to trouble you yet! And your ten accursed Golden Crows dare to slaughter the children of my Witch Clan!"

Before his words had ended, he mobilized the Space Great Dao and created a spatial storm of a million miles wide in the vault of heaven, sweeping fiercely toward the Demon Clan’s army.

Emperor Jun was also uncontrollably furious; his ten sons laid to fall by Hou Yi’s hands within a single day, losing nine, with the remaining young Golden Crow’s life and death unknown.

Xi He couldn’t help but shed a tear of blood.

In her eyes, how could some lowly Witch Clan compare with her sons?

"Hou Yi, pay with your life!"

Xi He, with the "Sun and Moon Essence Wheel" in hand, fiercely struck at Hou Yi. The power of the sun and the Taiyin converged, and the ultimate destructive force erupted instantaneously.

With this treasure unleashed, it seemed as if Hou Yi saw an eternal Great Sun and a boundless Bright Moon piercing the void, revealing the power to suppress the Four Seas and Eight Desolates and extinguish the myriad forms of space and time. The Dao of the Sun and Moon obliterated everything; even with his unmatched prowess amongst the Great Witches, he could not escape the illumination of this sun and moon!

"Xi He, you are a Quasi-Saint; could it be you only know how to bully the weaker?"

Seeing that Hou Yi could not resist, Xuanming immediately stepped forward, an unparalleled extreme cold aura instantly freezing the void before Hou Yi.

And the "Sun and Moon Essence Wheel," as if hitting an invisible barrier, could not advance any further, with only the power of the sun and the Taiyin continually converging in the void, making the void emit roars of thunder.

Boom!

The void trembled, the universe swayed, and in the blink of an eye, the two Great Divine Ability wielders had clashed hundreds of rounds, but ultimately it was Xuanming, with his unmatched physical body, who was slightly superior.

Xi He’s aura languished, the "Sun and Moon Essence Wheel" flying back as if it had suffered a great blow.

Seeing this, Emperor Jun could no longer contain the rage in his heart, and immediately ordered Donghuang Taiyi and Kunpeng to take action, to gain time for them to set up the Celestial Stars Battle Formation.

"Set up the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array!"

On the Witch Clan’s side, Emperor Jiang, at almost the same time, commanded the remaining eleven Ancestor Witches, and endless Evil Qi immediately started to converge around them.
