The Primordial Free-spirited Kunpeng

Chapter 270 Kunpeng Will Not Save

The sun rises in the east

The Dongting Lake was stained red with blood, the demon king Bashe was killed, and the second arrow of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow killed the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Hou Yi, dressed in animal skins and carrying a large bow, walked from afar, terrifying all the demons and immortals within a radius of 100,000 li.

Woo woo

The laws of heaven and earth mourned as a demon king fell. This was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, a king of immortals.

The strange phenomenon of heavenly weeping appeared, and the Great Immortal Hou Yi raised his hand, and the Taiyin Arrow returned to the quiver on his back.

The remnant soul of the Bashe snake said unwillingly, "The Great Witch has slain the Demon King! The Underworld has gone too far in bullying the Heavenly Court! I will go to the Nine Heavens to sue you!"

The enormous body of the Bashe transformed into a mountain. Hou Yi, standing on the mountain of the Bashe, calmly said, "Go ahead and sue me. I'm not afraid."

"Alright, let me see if a great shaman can control everything with one hand."

The remnant soul of the Bashe snake soared towards the heavens; the Taiyi Golden Immortal was the king of immortals.

Both remnant souls and fragmented spirits contain the characteristics of immortality.

Although they have lost the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, there is still hope of resurrection, and they can exist in the world for a long time.

Hou Yi was incredibly handsome, like a young man, as he wiped his two Taiyin arrows.

suddenly

The great shaman Chi You emerged from the mountains and forests, imposing and domineering, clad in iron armor.

"Hou Yi, it was too risky of you to slay the demon king."

Hou Yi calmly replied, "According to the covenant between Heaven and the Underworld, I am authorized to slay demon kings who have committed capital offenses."

Chi You, wearing a steel helmet and with sharp eyes, said, "Bashe is different. He is a demon king, a Taiyi Golden Immortal. As one of the 365 Star Masters of the demon race, the Bashe Demon King is part of the Zhou Tian Star Array."

Hou Yi patiently explained, "The Bashe serpent devoured the celestial dragon-elephant and hunted down the celestial witch of the Wu tribe; he should have died long ago."

Chi You sighed, "If you continue like this, the conflict between Heaven and the Underworld will only become irreconcilable."

Hou Yi replied leisurely, "The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun bestowed upon me the Divine Bow for Shooting Down the Suns, intending to make peace with the Wu Clan."

Chi You whispered, "The Emperor's heart is as deep as an abyss; it cannot be easily fathomed. The Heavenly Court may indeed have made peace with the Wu Clan, but it is more likely that they are preparing for war. The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is merely a pretext."

The Wu tribe excelled in strength but not in wisdom. The great shaman Chi You was special because he was half-human and half-shaman.

He possesses both the power of the witch clan and the wisdom of the human race.

Chi You sensed something was wrong and personally came to persuade Hou Yi to keep a low profile and not to provoke a war between Heaven and the Underworld.

Sunlight

Hou Yi looked intently at Chi You. The two great shamans had always been on good terms, and Chi You was Hou Yi and Chang'e's matchmaker.

"Hou Yi, what do you want to say to me?"

Hou Yi explained in a low voice: "The Ancestral Witches also suspect that the Heavenly Court has a grand plan. Making me accept the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is just going with the flow. They deliberately killed powerful demons to see how well the demons were prepared for war and their limits of patience."

Chi You frowned and said, "Hou Yi, it's right that you obey the Ancestral Witches, but you must understand the serious consequences. If you instigate a war between the witches and demons, you will be burdened by karma, and even a Great Luo Golden Immortal will find it difficult to die peacefully!"

"If it benefits the Wu tribe, I will risk my life; how could I avoid it because of fortune or misfortune?"

The great shaman Chi You remained silent, unable to respond.

Two great shamans stood side by side atop the mountain, discussing important matters of the primordial era.

The Wu tribe reveres the Ancestral Witch, who is also the wisest and strongest being.

Xing Tian's combat strength was close to that of the Ancestral Witches, Chi You's wisdom was close to that of the Ancestral Witches, and Hou Yi was very well-rounded, with one aspect being particularly outstanding.

The Ancestral Witches each have distinct personalities: the Time Ancestral Witch is skilled in planning, while the Space Ancestral Witch is adept at making decisions.

Chi You analyzed carefully: "Hou Yi, if you continue to kill, it is very likely to provoke the Demon Emperor to take action."

Hou Yi asked with a hint of anticipation, "Which demon emperor do you think will go down first?"

Chi You pondered for a moment before replying, "The Eastern Emperor and Nuwa are high above, and in the past they only attacked the Ancestral Witches. The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and the Azure Emperor Fuxi would not target the Great Witches either. The Heavenly Empress Xi He, the Demon Emperor Chang Xi, and the Ziwei Demon Emperor once attacked Xing Tian. These three Demon Emperors are the most likely candidates, and the other one is Kunpeng."

"The sorcerer has never attacked the great shaman, has he?"

"But the Demon Master is most likely to intervene to rescue the demon race. If you accidentally kill the wrong demon, Kunpeng will surely deliver a thunderous blow."

clever

enthusiasm

Hou Yi had a very good impression of Chi You, who rose from a mortal sorcerer to become a Great Immortal.

However, there is one thing: the relationship between Chi You and the human race is unclear.

"Leaving aside the demon master, Chi You, I want to ask you a question."

Chi You said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and ask."

Hou Yi said in a deep voice, "If one day, the Witch Clan and the Human Clan break out into conflict, what will you choose?"

Speechless

silence

Chi You pondered the matter carefully, but he had no answer and deeply rejected this option.

Being half-human and half-shaman, their situation is actually awkward, as neither race is truly at the core.

The Witch-people can choose to join the Witch Clan or become human; it seems like they have both options.

Hou Yi solemnly warned, "If one day the two tribes clash, I hope you will remain neutral."

Chi You mocked himself, "Remaining neutral would be foolish; it would offend both sides. A rational choice would be to side with the Wu tribe. But if a conflict truly breaks out, it will inevitably be the humans who suffer, and I cannot bear that!"

Hou Yi sighed, "The Wu tribe is united. If the Heavenly Court wants to weaken the Wu tribe, the Wu-human tribe will be the first choice. The human tribe is inclined towards the Heavenly Court, after all, Nuwa and Qingdi are in the Heavenly Court."

"I hope that conflict between the two ethnic groups will never erupt!"

"Alas, I hope so, otherwise you will lose the trust of the Ancestral Witch."

Half a day later

The great sorcerer Hou Yi continued to rid the world of evil, and all the races of the prehistoric world praised the achievements of the hero Hou Yi.

The powerful members of the Witch Clan who made mistakes prayed to the statue of the Ancestral Witch God, and the powerful members of the Demon Clan prayed to the statue of the Demon Emperor, simply because the Great Witch Hou Yi and Kong Xuan were too powerful.

Those who blatantly violate the laws of Heaven and Earth shall be punished, no matter how far they may travel.

time flies

Endless Mountains of the Southern Wilderness

The near-Great Luo Zaochi was filled with dread, for he had violated the laws of heaven and earth by devouring many powerful human beings.

The witch people, the demon people, and the human people were all treated as food.

Chisel Tooth, holding a shield and carrying a spear, evaded the pursuit of the law enforcement team while praying to the Demon Emperor.

The great witch Hou Yi attacked, and even pleading with the Demon Emperor was useless; only the Demon King could stop him!

The demon race's quasi-Great Luo cultivator, having established connections with the Heavenly Court, was met with a tirade from Demon General Ji Meng: "Zao Chi, are you insane? This isn't the way to court death! Knowing full well that the human race has Nuwa and the Azure Emperor behind them, how dare you devour so many people?"

Zaochi cried out in horror, "Your Majesty, save me! I was only following orders!"

"Heh, you're acting on orders? On whose orders?"

"I can't say, it was that person who hinted at it to me!"

"Bah, foolish! Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Without a written agreement or evidence, how dare you commit such a heinous act against the laws of heaven?"

"Your Majesty, lend a hand to your brother! Lend a hand to your brother!"

"You're doomed. Hou Yi is at the height of his power now, and I may not be his match."

"It is Prime Minister Bai Ze. Please ask the Emperor to pass on a message, as I cannot reach him."

moment

The true name of Zaochi shines brightly on the Bai Ze diagram, and the threads of cause and effect connect Bai Ze.

Ji Meng approached Bai Ze to deliver a message, and Zao Chi had something to say.

Bai Ze immediately retorted, "Zao Chi, you say you're acting on my orders, then produce the decree. Don't slander me, what do you mean by 'hint' or 'explicit'?"

"Your Majesty, save me! It was definitely you..."

"Shut up, you only have a sliver of hope now. The Demon Master is fishing in the Southern Wilderness, go and try your luck."

in a few days

Deep in the Southern Wilderness

Birds have vanished from the mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from the paths.

An old man in a straw hat and raincoat, alone in a small boat, fishes in the cold river snow.

Kunpeng was fishing, while Zaochi ran over in a sorry state and knelt down to kowtow.

"Teacher, help!"

The Demon Master said calmly, "Zaochi, you were ordered to eat people, and your backers are trying to test whether Nuwa and Fuxi have any intention of becoming independent and breaking away from the demon race."

Zaochi exclaimed in astonishment, "Ah, I really didn't know."

"Alas, I have taught that there is a kind of creature that is destined to die."

"Teacher, I'm so stupid, please help me!"

"Clumsy but hardworking!"
