NOVEL NEXT Chapter 335: Inviting Battle with the Immortal Court
Di Jun pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's best not to let the Witch Clan children go."
"Given the current relationship between the Immortal Court and the Witch Clan, I fear the lives of the Witch Clan would have perished before even setting foot on Penglai Immortal Island."
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, hearing Di Jun's words, understood his thoughts profoundly.
In his view, the East King of the Immortal Court was not to be trusted, nor should one talk about morality with him.
However, after such a selection, Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, couldn't think of a suitable candidate to take on this challenge.
After all, the relationship between the Witch Clan and the other races of the Primordial Continent was not friendly; most races were on their menu.
To find a being powerful enough and unafraid of the East King was indeed difficult.
Suddenly, he looked towards Di Jun's incarnation.
It was very difficult for the Witch Clan to find such a being, but for the Demon Clan, it was relatively simple.
With the background of the Demon Clan, even sending a Daluo Golden Immortal to deliver the message, the Immortal Court would hardly dare to neglect.
Moreover, with the formidable strength of the Demon Clan, there were no few beings unafraid of the East King.
Not to mention the ones who had already reached the level of Saints, such as Demon Emperor and Nuwa Saint, Emperor Fuxi, Demon Master Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Chang Xi, and Donghuang Taiyi who were powerful Quasi-Saints.
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch did not explicitly state, but instead said, "My Witch Clan has too many enemies in the Primordial, and I can't find a suitable candidate. I wonder if the Demon Emperor has anyone suitable?"
Di Jun's incarnation looked meaningfully at Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch for a moment, and instantly understood his thought.
With the power and background of the Demon Clan, this task was indeed not difficult.
But why should the Demon Clan get involved in this strife between the Witch Clan and the Immortal Court for no reason?
Especially at a time when the aura of calamity was pervasive, a slight misstep could really pull them into this war.
Even the Zhunti Saint could be affected by the aura of calamity, let alone those beings below the Saints?
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, looked directly at Di Jun's incarnation with an open and unflinching gaze.
After a long time, Di Jun finally slowly said, "For this matter, I think Lady Ping Xin, the Lord of Hell, is most suitable for the task."
Lady Ping Xin?
When Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch first heard this name, he didn't react for a moment; this name was relatively unfamiliar to him.
Once he realized who it was, he immediately said, "Sister Hou Tu?"
"No, Sister Hou Tu won't do!"
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, was very firm in his attitude, but Di Jun had no intention of changing his mind and continued.
"Why do you distrust Lady Ping Xin?"
"Back at the Blood Sea, Sister Hou Tu had already vowed that she is no longer the Houtu Ancestor Witch of the Witch Clan, but the Lord of Hell, Ping Xin."
"Now when it comes to a decisive battle involving the Witch Clan, how can she be dragged into it?"
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch, gradually became filled with sorrow as he refuted Di Jun's incarnation.
He knew that at that time, he had forced the Houtu Ancestor Witch to leave the Witch Clan.
But under the oppression of the Three Pure Saints, had he not made such a decision, how could Sister Hou Tu alone withstand the Three Pure Saints?
Making such a decision, his heart was naturally filled with sadness, but he had never regretted it.
Now, to involve the Houtu Ancestor Witch in the matters of the Witch Clan again, Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch naturally was reluctant.
Di Jun's incarnation, upon hearing Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch's words, looked at him in surprise.
"Are we not looking for a being outside the Witch Clan?"
"Lady Ping Xin, as the Lord of Hell carrying the responsibility of reincarnation, her merit and karma are such that even a Saint would not dare to provoke lightly."
"Moreover, since Lady Ping Xin herself is a Saint with great power, the East King of the Immortal Court would naturally not dare to neglect her."
"And since Lady Ping Xin came from the Witch Clan, although she has left, her affection for the Witch Clan remains deep, making her a Saint that the Witch Clan could still request."
"Therefore, I think Lady Ping Xin is the most suitable candidate."
Di Jun's incarnation continued.
"But..."
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch wanted to argue, but listening to Di Jun's reasoning, which seemed very logical, he suddenly didn't know how to refute.
Sister Hou Tu was their younger sister, and they hadn't provided any help when she transformed into reincarnation.
Now, with the Immortal Court and the Witch Clan fighting over Immortal Lake, should they involve their younger sister?
Although it was just delivering a message, it still represented the Witch Clan.
How would the outsiders judge Sister Hou Tu?
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch was not indecisive; he truly did not want Sister Hou Tu, who had already left the Witch Clan, to be involved again.
Seeing Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch unable to articulate his reasons and unwilling to make a decision, Di Jun's incarnation understood his thoughts well.
So he said again, "After this decisive battle between the Witch Clan and the Immortal Court, we twelve Ancestor Witches will undoubtedly perish, and the Witch Clan will decline."
"Don't you want Lady Ping Xin to help you this one last time?"
"If she misses this opportunity, won't she feel guilty? Won't she regret not having helped you one last time?"
Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch's expression softened slightly, but he still did not speak.
Seeing Di Jiang, the Ancestor Witch's current state, Di Jun's incarnation was not anxious and continued, "Why not inform Lady Ping Xin herself? Let Lady Ping Xin make her own choice."
