Chapter 47: Dead End

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

The Wu tribe knew about the huge movement happening in the Untainted Land. When they heard that, during the third Teaching in Zixiao Palace, Hongjun had conferred the title of Sage upon the Goddess Nvywa and granted a placement to the listeners. The Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were shocked and could no longer keep their cool.

In the hall of Pangu, the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery gathered with discoloration filling their faces. It was obvious that they were disturbed by the placement of the Seven Sages, and the Sage that caused the most headache for them was Goddess Nvywa. Three Pure Ones were still alright, as they were from the same lineage under Pangu, so they would not do any harm to the Wu tribe.

From the west, Jieyin and Zhun Ti did not have any contact nor any beef with the Wu tribe, so they definitely would not strike out at the Wu tribe. Goddess Nvywa was different. Once she became a Sage, the Demon tribe would become invincible. When it was time, the Wu tribe would be under incredible pressure. This was not what the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery wanted to see.

As the head of Twelve of Ancestors of Sorcery, Emperor Jiang asked, ”How do you all think of this situation? You may speak your mind.” Zhurong roared, ”Big Brother, what's there to think of? Let's just go and barge into the Heavenly Court to kill that sniveling little thing and snatch her sage placement.”

An Ancestor of Sorcery sitting beside Zhurong spoke out. His aura and thoughts were totally opposite of Zhurong. If Zhurong was to be described as fire, he would be water. He was indeed the Ancestor in charge of the water element, Gonggong. ”Zhurong, are you serious? Is the Heavenly Court that easy to get in? You go, but I won't.”

Zhurong flared up upon hearing what Gonggong said. ”Gonggong, what do you mean? You're the most stupid one. Come and fight me if you dare. Don't be sarcastic and think that I can't hear it!” Gonggong challenged Zhurong back, ”Come on then. I'm not afraid. Let's do it.”

Hearing Zhurong and Gonggong quarreling, Emperor Jiang flew into a rage. He said, ”Both of you, shut up! We should be discussing strategies, not arguing. Sit down, both of you. Jiuyin, what do you think we should do?”

Zhurong and Gonggong were two individuals with totally opposite personalities. They would fight whenever they saw each other, and no one could stop nor control them, except Emperor Jiang.

For the sake of peace for the tribe, Emperor Jiang specifically separated them to the north and south out of fear that if their villages were to next to each other, a war might break out. Instead of two villages going to war, a battle between both Zhurong and Gonggong would be better for the sake of peace for the Wu tribe.

Seeing Emperor Jiang raged, Zhurong and Gonggong glared at each other before sitting back down. Other Ancestors of Sorcery looked at this familiar scene helplessly, but thankfully, Emperor Jiang was able to settle them down.

Zhurong and Gonggong finally quietened down. Zhu Jiuyin said, ”What Zhurong said made some sense.” Zhurong turned to Gonggong, lifting his brows and sneering when hearing this. Gonggong snorted and ignored him.

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head when he saw Zhurong's attitude and continued. ”But the Heavenly Court is heavily guarded. Even if we used all of our forces to attack the Heavenly Court and killed Nvywa, I'm afraid we will suffer major casualties. Plus the most important point, Hongjun.”

Zhu Jiuyin knew that the Wu tribe did not respect Hongjun at all, but he went on and said, ”The Wu tribe only respect the Father God but Hongjun is a Sage now. And though he is already one with the Great Way, he will not allow Nvywa to die. Previously, when Hongjun became a sage, we felt the strong aura of the sage. So even if we use our last resort, we are most definitely not Hongjun's opponent.”

Listening to his analysis, the rest of the Ancestors went silent. Zhu Jiuyin continued, ”That is why this is not the best idea.” Emperor Jiang's eyes flashed. ”Jiuyin, since the battle is not the best idea, what other ideas do you have?”
