678: Chapter 697: Calculations 678: Chapter 697: Calculations What did he see?

Ye Xuan was actually sincerely apologizing to him?

Just now, Ye Xuan had been in a do-or-die state, and he had ruthlessly slashed Chi You’s body in half.

Yet in the blink of an eye, he showed a remorseful expression.

How could such a drastic change not confuse Chi You!

Not to mention Chi You being struck dumb, even the distant Heavenly Court members were stunned on the spot.

No one understood Ye Xuan’s temperament better than they did.

Not to mention exterminating the Witch Clan and killing Chi You, it was a miracle for Ye Xuan to peacefully lead them away from the Witch Clan, let alone apologize personally to Chi You.

What kind of person was Ye Xuan in the minds of the Heavenly Court members?

Cruel and venomous, decisive in killing, resorting to any means to achieve his goals, and an extremely ferocious person, adhering to the belief of totally annihilating everyone without mercy.

But what did the Heavenly Court members see today?

Ye Xuan was actually apologizing to Chi You.

This was simply unbelievable, like a fairy tale.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that such a thing could actually happen.

“Ye Xuan, what do you mean?”

After several long moments, Chi You finally came back to his senses, his face full of suspicion as he scrutinized Ye Xuan.

“Ah!”

Ye Xuan sighed softly and said, “Actually, there is no hatred between Heavenly Court and the Witch Clan.

Although Da Yi first killed my Heavenly Court members, it was just a personal matter between Heavenly Court and him.

It was wrong of me to vent my anger on the Witch Clan.

Here, I sincerely ask for Chi You’s forgiveness.”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s sincere face, Chi You felt extremely weird, and he became even more cautious, not knowing what Ye Xuan was plotting.

“The Witch Clan is the legitimate lineage of Pangu.

The Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches are even transformed from the essence and blood of the Pangu God himself.

I have always held utmost reverence for the Witch Clan.

Today, due to my anger, I killed tens of thousands of Witch Clan members, which makes me feel remorseful.

I hope that my friend will let me personally beg for forgiveness from the Twelve Ancestor Witches, so that my heart may find some peace.”

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, showing an extreme color of embarrassment.

His voice was rich with emotion and his words were heartfelt, not seeming like an act at all, as if he truly regretted killing tens of thousands of Witch Clan members.

As they say, flattery may pass through all things, but not through a falsehood.

More so, considering Ye Xuan’s status.

Although Chi You knew that Ye Xuan was not as simple as he appeared, he could not discern his actual intentions.

“The Ancestor Witches are sleeping in the Chaos, and are not in the Witch Clan’s ancestral land.

There’s no need for Daoist Ye to apologize.

Just take your Heavenly Court members and leave the Witch Clan.” Chi You said with profound eyes.

Obviously, no matter what Ye Xuan’s intentions were, as long as they could quickly send Ye Xuan away, the Witch Clan could avoid a calamity.

Once he summoned the other Ancient Witches back, even if Ye Xuan had great schemes, they would not fear him.

“Daoist, are you not giving me face?” Ye Xuan sincerely spoke out, “Although the Twelve Ancestor Witches are not here, I desecrated the Ancestral Witch Temple, and I still need to apologize to the Ancestor Witches.

I hope that Daoist will allow me to go to other Ancestral Witch Temples and apologize to each Ancestor Witch effigy.”

“Impossible!”

Chi You flatly refused, his eyes turning ominous.

Knowing that the Ancestral Witch Temple was the sacred ground of the Witch Clan, divided into twelve sites in total, today Ye Xuan had already destroyed one Ancestral Witch Temple.

If he went mad again and damaged the other Ancestral Witch Temples, how could he explain it to the Witch Clan?

“Daoist, are you really denying me face?”

Suddenly, the sincere expression on Ye Xuan’s face was gone, and he was entirely cloaked in darkness, a touch of murderous aura encircling him as if the rejection from Chi You had ignited his fury.

Bang!

Sun Wukong’s iron rod suddenly smashed into the ground, causing a thunderous noise.

Although he didn’t know Ye Xuan’s purpose, he could tell that Ye Xuan definitely had his own plans, which made him radiate a fierce demonic energy, ready to strike at any disagreement.

“Daoist Chi You, since Heavenly Emperor Ye sincerely apologizes to the Witch Clan, you should accept his wish.

Do you really want to watch the Heavenly Court and Witch Clan go to war?” Lu Ya Daoist frowned and said.

“This…?”

Chi You’s expression was gloomy, showing hesitation.

He was quite sure that Ye Xuan had an unknown purpose, and it greatly involved the Ancestral Witch Temple.

However, the situation was stronger than people.

He was at a disadvantage now.

If he really rejected Ye Xuan, it would certainly start a great war, which was not the outcome he wanted to see.

To step back, the Ancestral Witch Temple didn’t contain any precious items; it was just a place of faith in the hearts of the Witch Clan.

As long as Ye Xuan didn’t destroy the temple, letting him enter would be harmless.

“Fine, I can agree to your request, but you must promise that after entering the Ancestral Witch Temple, you and your Heavenly Court members will leave and not damage the temple in any way,” Chi You finally made a decision, looking earnestly at Ye Xuan.

“You can rest assured, Daoist.

After paying homage to the Ancestor Witch statues, this emperor will surely depart without causing any disturbance,” Ye Xuan bowed in salute, but a mischievous thrill flashed in his eyes.

“Good, I will personally lead the way for you and hope that you will keep your word,” Chi You said, rising on black clouds and shooting towards the distant horizon.

Obviously, Chi You was still not at ease with Ye Xuan, fearing he might cause trouble in the Ancestral Witch Temple, so he could only accompany Ye Xuan until he and his Heavenly Court members left the Witch Clan.

“Brother, Old Sun will accompany you,” said Wukong.

“The Ancestral Witch Temple is indeed mystical; I too shall accompany you,” Lu Ya Daoist said with a slight smile, a hint of suspicion crossing his eyes, clearly unaware of what Ye Xuan intended to do.

“Good.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

He was not worried about having Lu Ya follow, as the half Cauldron emitted no aura and seemed ordinary.

Ye Xuan speculated that the other half of the Small Cauldron might be in other Ancestral Witch Temples, but he wasn’t sure he could find it.

“You all wait here for my return.

If anyone from the Witch Clan seeks trouble, you can make your own decisions,” Ye Xuan looked back at the Swallowing Heaven Toad and others, the meaning in his words clear—if the Witch Clan harbored any ulterior motives, they could decisively battle them again without mercy.

“Yes, Heavenly Emperor!” The Heavenly Court members bowed.

Auspicious clouds rose, the void rippled, and Ye Xuan, accompanied by two others, disappeared in the pavilion.

When Lu Ya appeared there, it further clarified his stance.

In his heart, Ye Xuan had already decided—the Witch Clan couldn’t be annihilated, a fact he understood all too well.

But he also took advantage of Lu Ya’s threat to force Chi You to let him enter other Ancestral Witch Temples, for finding the other half of the Small Cauldron was his primary goal, an opportunity too crucial for Ye Xuan to miss.

Fortunately, under the threat, Chi You had finally agreed, causing Ye Xuan’s spirit to tremble with excitement, his heart continuously praying that he might find the other half of the Small Cauldron in another Ancestral Witch Temple.
