"You girl..."

The burly man looked at Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch, the youngest of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, with indulgent affection as he shook his head, instantly sweeping away the frustration in his heart and burst into laughter: "Who bullied you just now, my girl? Tell me, I will go and take revenge for you."

"Who else but Donghuang Taiyi and that Kunpeng Ancestor..."

Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch recounted what had just happened, irked.

"I have long disliked Taiyi and Emperor Jun, those two old birds. All that talk of 'Taiyang Fire being the ultimate yang, burning all things to ash' and 'Great Sun Golden Flame incinerating everything'... it's all bluster!

Truly speaking, when it comes to the way of fire, I, Zhu Rong, am the strongest in the Three Realms!"

Saying so, Zhu Rong declared heartily: "Let's go, Sister Xuan Ming, lead the way. I'm going to find Taiyi to vent your anger... What's so great about them having more people? Watch me burn them all to a crisp!"

"Zhu Rong!"

Seeing him speaking while getting ready to leave, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but shout to stop him, then, in a gentle voice, he advised softly: "Calm down for now, this matter is complicated, we need to think in the long term."

Zhu Rong looked at Emperor Jiang somewhat surprised, "What do you mean, big brother?"

Emperor Jiang hesitated for a moment before speaking solemnly: "It's now certain that Red Cloud Ancestor no longer has the Hongmeng Purple Qi on him. Going to rescue him now would be meaningless."

"But..." Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch raised her eyebrows, about to argue, when she saw Emperor Jiang looking directly at her.

"There's no 'but'." Emperor Jiang said with a serious expression: "I know that Red Cloud Ancestor is your friend, but we have already saved him once earlier, and he still refuses to leave. His life or death is no longer our concern.

Moreover, just now there were frequent strange phenomena within the Ancient Star Domain, and the Great Formation that Donghuang Taiyi and the others had just set up is very likely the legendary Celestial Stars Formation!

That Great Formation, though never truly activated until now, we can tell from the need to harness so many Demon Gods to gather the power of the Celestial Stars, that its power must be extraordinary!

Under such circumstances, to risk our lives for a Red Cloud Ancestor who seeks his own death, do you think it's worth it?"

"I..."

Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch's complexion turned slightly pale, just as she was about to say something, someone else spoke up first: "So much said, but they're all just excuses."

All the Ancestor Witches turned their heads towards the voice, only to see a beautiful Moon Car approaching, treading on starlight.

The Driver of the car was commanding and tall; of heroic stature, he looked at the Ancestor Witches and declared aloud: "Your reluctance to rescue is simply because you've confirmed that Red Cloud Ancestor no longer carries the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Nothing else matters."

"It's you!"

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch looked at the newcomer with some surprise and said: "I thought you had already fled. I didn't expect you to stay here, even though the secret of you possessing Hongmeng Purple Qi has been exposed.

Wait... you specifically came here to seek us out, could it be that you want us to help rescue the Red Cloud Daoist?"

"Ask?"

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows with a smile: "I'm just here to inform you that I'm going to rescue someone. If you wish to join me, I will be grateful, if you do not wish to, I could care less.

But just in case I fail, the Hongmeng Purple Qi on me will belong to Donghuang Taiyi.

By then, I'm afraid the good days for your Witch Clan will come to an end, and you'll have to merge into the Demon Clan... from then on, you will all have to call yourselves Demon Clan.

By the way, if you surrender early, with your strength you might be able to mix in and become a Demon Saint."

Hearing this, the complexions of the several Ancestor Witches abruptly changed.

And Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch, in particular, was furious, and bellowed coldly: "Who do you think you are, daring to spout nonsense in front of us?"

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch also frowned as he looked towards Yu Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Do you think threatening us to help you save someone is going to work?"

"Let's try and see."

Yu Yuan casually tossed out a response and then turned the Moon Car to leave.

"Heh..."

Zhu Rong snickered: "Rather than letting that scoundrel give away the Hongmeng Purple Qi to that old bird Taiyi for free, we might as well snatch it ourselves!"

After speaking, without waiting for the other Ancestor Witches to agree, he immediately took action towards the Moon Car.

"Stay right there!!!"

Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch's agile figure darted across the starry sky at high speed. His tall and mighty body was surrounded by flames, his fists encased in what seemed like divine fire.

With one punch, the burning flames warped the space around him, stars quaked and shattered under his strength as if the entire starry sky was about to collapse because of it.

Facing such an assault, Yu Yuan hastily retracted the Moon Car, his figure flashing like lightning, and he too swung his fists to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

The fists of the two collided.

Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch's fists, ablaze with raging flames, contained a terrifying divine power capable of destroying everything, while Yu Yuan's fists likewise brimmed with infinite strength.

When their fists collided, an immensely terrifying shockwave erupted instantaneously, causing stars within millions of miles to spontaneously combust, their brilliance dazzling.

Amidst the clash of divine powers, it was Yu Yuan who gained the upper hand. His overwhelming might fiercely sent Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch flying away, while he himself took only a few steps back.

However, Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch quickly stabilized his stance, his eyes revealing a look of shock.

It wasn't just him—several nearby Ancestor Witches had their expressions changed drastically, looking toward Yu Yuan in disbelief.

The unparalleled divine strength was what the Ancestor Witches excelled in.

Although the Twelve Ancestor Witches each mastered different powers of the Laws, they all grasped the Law of Power as well.

This was the innate divine strength bestowed upon them by the Pangu God!

In all of the Three Realms, it was unrivaled!

But at this moment, they had met their match!

Someone had actually managed to outmatch Zhu Rong in a head-to-head contest of strength!

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

After all, in terms of strength alone, Zhu Rong was among the top-ranking Twelve Ancestor Witches.

If even he couldn't win, it was highly likely the other Ancestor Witches couldn't either.

"Again!"

Zhu Rong bellowed, as if refusing to accept defeat, and once more threw his fists towards Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan did not dodge or evade, responding with fists of his own.

It was no longer a battle of techniques; this was the purest test of strength!

The two directly collided with brute force.

The impact of their fists colliding each time was akin to the explosion of the Taiyang Star, causing the celestial stars to tremble.

Their figures intertwined and danced across the starry sky, fists and feet interwoven, each collision releasing powerful shockwaves.

Countless stars shattered under their divine strength, the starlight raining down like droplets, the radiant light enveloping the entire Primordial realm.

Every punch they threw could tear Heaven and Earth, shattering stars.

With them at the center, the starry sky had already descended into chaos.

The violent earth, water, fire, and wind surged incessantly, fearsome forces interweaving.

Seeing the two of them locked in intense battle, and Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch continually at a disadvantage, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but speak out: "If we keep this up, we'll draw the attention of the Heavenly Court... Brothers and sisters, let's join forces and take him down swiftly!"

Gonggong, Houtu, and others exchanged looks, and with a slight nod, reached a consensus: "It seems we have no other choice."

With that said, several Ancestor Witches made their move.

However, Emperor Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin were the quickest.

One controlled space, and the other controlled time. Deciding on a swift resolution, they immediately sought to bind time and space, fixing Yu Yuan on the spot.

Under the dual confinement of time and space, Yu Yuan instantly felt as though he was trapped in a sealed box, with the six walls continuously contracting inwards as if to squeeze him flat, yet he was unable to move at all.

At that moment, Yu Yuan's figure suddenly morphed, transforming into the likeness of Ci Tie Demon Saint, while a strand of his Primordial Spirit escaped from the top of his head, laughing heartily, he said:

"Ancestor Witches, did you really think I would come in person to find you all?"

"I have already headed for the Ancient Tai Huang Hz Heaven, if you don't hurry, the Hongmeng Purple Qi will truly fall into the hands of the Demon Clan!"

The Ancestor Witches: "..."

"This wretch is indeed cunning!" Emperor Jiang said indignantly.

The other Ancestor Witches nodded in agreement.

"So, do we go or not?" Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch asked softly.

"Go! Of course, we go!"

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch spoke solemnly: "He's right. We might not have Hongmeng Purple Qi, but we absolutely can't let it fall into the hands of the Demon Clan!

If a Saint emerges from within the Demon Clan, then the first to suffer will be our Witch Clan!"
