“Holy Lord Qinglian, please!” Before Xing Xi had even reached the entrance of the Witch Emperor’s Palace, Ji Zu personally greeted him and said in a humble and enthusiastic tone.
The green lotus beneath Xing Xi’s feet transformed into a green mist surrounding his body, before he lifted his feet with complete disinterest and stepped into the Witch Emperor’s Palace.
The expression on Ji Zu’s face did not fluctuate, but his heart was overjoyed. Even if you are strong, this Witch Emperor’s Palace is not a place to enter or leave at will.
“It is truly a blessing for my witch tribe that Saint Lord Qinglian has visited my witch tribe ……” Following this bright voice to greet down was a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man had his black hair tied around his shoulders and his aura was solid around him, his entire body was like a huge mountain peak, giving people a calm and steady aura.
Xing Xi stopped and swept his gaze over this middle-aged man for a moment before he said indifferently, “I suppose you are Ancestral Emperor Hong of the Witch Clan, right? As expected, your name is true.”
The middle-aged man laughed harshly, “This bit of my fame is so far below that of the Green Lotus Saint Lord that it is not worth mentioning.”
Xing Xi laughed coldly, could she not hear Hong’s meaning beyond his words? The Green Lotus Saint Master that Hong was referring to did not necessarily mean her.
Xing Xi said in a light voice, “Thank you, Ancestor Hong, for thinking of me. I have heard that the Witch Emperor’s Palace is one of the three greatest treasures of the Witch Clan, so I hope that Ancestor will not hide it and show me something when the time comes.”
After saying these words, Xing Xi directly crossed over Ancestor Hong and walked to the top seat of the Great Hall, about to sit down.
Ancestor Emperor Hong and Ancestor Ji’s faces turned a little ugly after hearing these words from Xing Xi. They thought that Xing Xi’s entry into the Witch Emperor’s Palace was tantamount to being caught by the Witch Clan as a weakness, but they didn’t expect that people simply knew what this place was and walked in without hesitation. This was a clear indication that they did not put the Witch Emperor Palace in their eyes.
Several strong members of the Witch Emperor’s Palace also stood up, and a monk with a huge string of rosary beads on his chest saw Xing Xi enter and was instantly bright-eyed, following which he stood up and purposely walked up to Xing Xi and cupped his fist and said, “Sha Xun has met this fairy, I have yet to ask for your name.”
He had naturally come here for Yu Qing, but he had not expected to see a woman here whose looks were not weaker than Yu Qing’s at all. This woman was simply perfect, if both this woman and Yu Qing were brought back, then ……
Sha Xun was even thinking about how others would be envious of him now, and at this moment, he just wanted to laugh out loud. What Qinglian Saint Lord? It’s not like he hadn’t seen the Qinglian Saint Lord before.
“You’re under the Western Universe Qu Bodh Holy Buddha?” If it was an ordinary person who dared to look at her like that, Xing Xi would have blasted a Green Lotus Daoist Mane over. But the Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha of the Western Universe, she did not dare to offend yet.
Sha Xun hurriedly said, “That’s right, I am none other than the fourth one under the Holy Buddha.”
Xing Xi nodded, “So you are a venerable person under the Holy Buddha, I have heard of you for a long time.”
As he spoke, Xing Xi waved his hand and a terrifying Dao rhythm pressure surged towards Sha Xun. Sha Xun was about to speak again when he felt that terrifying aura suppressing him, making it a little difficult for him to even breathe. In just an instant, Xing Xi had already walked to his seat and sat down.
Sassoon drew a cold breath backwards, this woman was too powerful. He was sure that he was no match for this woman, and if the two of them fought, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price.
With his current strength, it would be too difficult for him to reach the height of this woman in front of him. The reason why this woman told him to back off was that she was afraid not of him, Sassoon, but of the Holy Buddha of the West behind him.
Thinking of this, Sha Xun could only change his face a few times and sat down in silence. Never mind, with that woman called Yu Qing, he had made the trip worthwhile.
This scene took place in an extremely short time, but those who could sit here were all the supreme powerhouses of the Witch Clan. Ancestor Di Hong and Ancestor Ji even clearly saw the action between Sha Xun and Xing Xi, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
Such an arrogant fellow as Sha Xun did not dare to talk nonsense in front of this woman.
“Yu Qing is far worse than her ……,” Ji Ancestor somewhat disheveledly transmitted his voice to Zu Di Hong, the Witch Clan had always treated Yu Qing generously. Apart from the fact that Yu Qing was Ji Hao Yi’s savior, the main thing was Yu Qing’s strength. After Yu Qing had crossed into the third step, they had always thought that Yu Qing would not be much weaker even than Xing Xi who had taken away Huoyi. Now it seemed that they had been too wishful thinking, as Yu Qing and Xing Xi were not at all on the same level of strength.
Zu Di Hong’s heart also sank, if he couldn’t keep Yu Qing, then he had to do everything he could to keep Huo Yi. Xing Xi’s strength was indeed far beyond his prediction. No wonder people did not fear the Wudi Palace.
“Saint Lord Qinglian and Venerable Sassoon are both honored guests of my Witch Clan ……”
The Witch Clan Ancestor Di Hong instantly changed his strategy, a strong person like Xing Xi could not be offended, at least not yet. The Witch Clan has just started to cultivate divine ideas, as long as the Witch Clan is given time, in the future the Witch Clan can eventually come out with a strong person who is not inferior to Xing Xi.
Xing Xi did not wait for Hong to finish his words before raising his hand and interrupting Ancestral Emperor Hong, “Fellow Daoist Hong, I am here to take away Yu Qing, as for being a guest, when I meet Yu Qing, I will naturally talk about it.”
When Zu Di Hong heard Xing Xi’s words, he was secretly angry and slightly relieved at the same time. Xing Xi only said that he wanted to take away Yu Qing, and did not say that he wanted to take away Huo Yi, which meant that there was still room for both sides to manoeuvre. If Xing Xi wanted to take Ji Huo Yi away from the Witch Clan, then the Witch Clan would not agree to it no matter what, and it would definitely be a big battle.
Ji Zu knew very well what Hong was thinking, Xing Xi was so strong and the Witch Clan was on the rise in strength, it would not be wise to have a firefight with a strong man like Xing Xi over an outsider.
But for the sake of the Witch Clan’s face, they couldn’t just do whatever Xing Xi said immediately.
“I wonder if Yu Qing and the Holy Lord are?” Ji Zu asked knowingly, making a state of doubt.
When the strongest members of the Witch Clan in the Great Hall heard Ji Zu’s words, they all lowered their heads in shame and anger. Xing Xi had taken the sons of the Witch Clan away to sacrifice to the Heavenly Pillar of Zhen, and now that people were here, the Witch Clan was not thinking of revenge, but of worrying about people taking Ji Hao Yi away again. What could be more stifling and humiliating than this?
Xing Xi knew what Ji Zu meant, and she did not want to get into a deadlock with the witch tribe for the time being. The Gate of Creation was about to open and she didn’t want to be half consumed by anything.
It was true that the Witch Clan was not in her eyes, but to wipe them out she would definitely have to do some damage as well. What’s more, the fourth Sassoon Venerable under the Buddha Lord of the Western Universe was here, and there was no telling what relationship this person had with the Witch Clan.
“That Yu Qing is a disciple under my throne, and since there is some misunderstanding with me, I want to bring her back this time after I come out of seclusion.” Xing Xi said in a flat tone.
Ji Zu revealed a dazed look and said, “So that is the case, then naturally there is no problem. Xuan Comment, you go and call Yu Qing here.”
“Yes.” Xuan pundit immediately walked out.
Qiang Xiang hurriedly said, “Zu Di, Ji Zu, Yu Qing is ……”
Ancestor Ji naturally knew what Qiang Xiang was going to say, and with a wave of his hand, he stopped Qiang Xiang’s words, “Qiang, don’t interfere in other people’s family affairs. The Qinglian Saint Lord is a great success, so naturally there is no need for you to say more.”
Qiang Xiang seemed to have thought of something and did not say anything more. After all, he had not seen the great battle between Ning Cheng and the Xuanhuang Saint Lord, and was only speaking to Ning Cheng based on his guesses. Besides, he did not know how much of the Xuanhuang Saint Lord’s cultivation was left, and if Ning Cheng was far from being able to defeat the Qinglian Saint Lord in front of him, would he not be leading the Witch Clan to the abyss if he was bent on helping Ning Cheng?
Even though Qiang Xiang was willing to make a friend like Ning Cheng from the bottom of his heart, he still stood by the Witch Clan when it came to their success or failure.
When the Green Lotus Saint Lord raised his hand just now, that kind of Dao Rhythm aura overpowered Sha Xun. I am afraid that even Tai Su Daoist Lord Ning Cheng would find it difficult to achieve such strength.
“Saint Lord Qinglian, Daoist Friend Hong, I have come to the Witch Clan this time instead for that Yu Qing.” Sha Xun had to speak up even if he was no longer Xing Xi’s opponent. Otherwise, if Yu Qing was taken away by Xing Xi as soon as he arrived, he would still have nothing to say.
Even if I can’t touch you, Qinglian Saint Master, I can’t do it even if I want to take Xing Xi away now? I, Sha Xun, am inferior to you, but I am also the fourth venerable one under the seat of the Western Universe.
Hearing Sha Xun’s words, Ancestor Di Hong and Ancestor Ji looked at each other and both fell silent. They could not wait for Sha Xun and Qinglian Saint Xing Xi to get into trouble.
Xing Xi’s gaze fell on Sha Xun and said in a slow tone, “You want to bring my disciple back as a furnace censer?”
Sha Xun frowned, “What kind of furnace censer? I truly love Fairy Yu Qing and want to form a daoist couple with her to support each other. I, Sha Xun, am at least the fourth venerable person under the Buddha Lord, how can I do the matter of a furnace censer?”
Xing Xi was not annoyed, instead he smiled, “I was wrong about Fellow Daoist Sha Xun, Yu Qing is my disciple, even if you want to form a daoist couple with Qing’er, it is not too much for me, the master, to ask about it, right? Even in the secular world, the woman has to check out the man’s recent history.”
Sha Xun looked at Xing Xi in confusion, what did this Qinglian Saint Master mean? Could it be that she agrees with me and Yu Qing tying the knot as a daoist couple? Otherwise, how could she talk like that?
“Of course not, I also ask Saint Lord Qinglian to make it happen.” Sha Xun instantly reacted that Xing Xi really had the intention of giving Yu Qing to him as a daoist couple.
Xing Xi nodded, “It is not impossible for you to ask Yu Qing to be your daoist partner, and I can agree to it. You are at least the fourth venerable under the Western Buddha Lord, can’t it be that you want to take my disciple away empty-handed?”
Sha Xun was overjoyed, with these words the Green Lotus Saint Lord was clearly agreeing to him taking away Yu Qing. He hurriedly stood up and cupped his fist to Xing Xi, about to offer a series of benefits.
Just then, a clear, cold voice came out, “My Yu Qing’s Dao is not half related to you, Qinglian Saint Lord Xing Xi, nor have you taught me anything. It’s not anyone else’s turn to decide whose Daoist partner I want to be.”
“Haha ……,” Xing Xi laughed, “Yu Qing, don’t you think that just because you have crossed into the third step, you can trample me underfoot? Not to put me in your eyes? Today I’m still going to be the master.”
After saying this, Xing Xi looked at Sha Xun and said, “Sha Xun, since you want my disciple to be your dao partner, then let’s see what you can do. As long as you can take her, you can immediately enter a room with her as a daoist couple. As for the bride-price for me, we will talk about it after you become a dao couple.”
Sha Xun was overjoyed and immediately said, “Many thanks to Saint Lord Qinglian.”
Naturally, he could see that Yu Qing and Saint Master Qinglian were very much at odds, and that there was no master-disciple relationship at all. But he didn’t care about that at all, all he wanted was for Yu Qing to be the furnace censer.
