135: The gods gathered in Buzhou, and then the great shaman Hou Yi was seen again.

"How would we know without trying!"

Waving his hand, Fuxi stood up from the ground with a pale Face, his expression grave as he said, "Back then, both of us were forced to join the Demon God Palace; we were even plotted against by Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi!"

"When the time comes, we will explain it to the Ancestral Witches. If they believe us, then so be it, but if they don't, then we can only take the final step..."

At this point, Fuxi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unwillingness and frustration.

"Brother, do you mean—"

Nüwa opened her mouth, a look of unease surfacing on her Face as she instinctively said, "This won't do. Brother, didn't you say that Slaying Three Corpses has drawbacks, and might even be a scheme by some people? If we Cultivate it, then..."

"Younger Sister—"

Before Nüwa could finish, Fuxi interrupted, "If we can't obtain the Method of Proving the Dao from the Wu Clan, are we to be stuck as Grand Unity Golden Immortals for the rest of our lives?"

"There is indeed a problem with Slaying Three Corpses. Although I cannot see exactly what is wrong, it certainly wasn't spread around by ordinary people; its purpose is definitely not good."

"But so what? At this stage, do we even have a choice? It's success or death. No matter what the other party intends to do, we must at least reach the Quasi-Saint stage to ensure our own safety."

Speaking of this, Fuxi seemed to think of something and sighed. He gave Nüwa a complicated look and said, "Younger Sister, do not forget how massive the allure of the Origin of Extreme Yin is to Cultivators. If we do not have enough power, then..."

"Brother, say no more."

Before Fuxi could finish, Nüwa interrupted, "I support your choice, Brother!"

"No matter what, we indeed have no other choice!"

With that, the siblings reached an agreement.

Without any further hesitation or delay, Fuxi and Nüwa's figures rapidly left the cave area, riding clouds toward Mount Buzhou.

A similar scene was occurring across various regions of the Great Desolation.

In addition to the Cultivators from the Demon God Palace back then, there were many newly risen Cultivators, as well as those who had not come to Mount Buzhou before.

Although news of Slaying Three Corpses had already spread.

Compared to the suddenly appearing Slaying Three Corpses, they trusted the choices of other Cultivators more, and had more faith in the reputation of the Wu Clan.

After all, the Wu Clan was now the hegemon of the Great Desolation, and its relationship with Cultivators was becoming increasingly close.

Over all these years, everyone had become aware of the cooperation between Cultivators and the Wu Clan, and knew how immense the benefits were for those who collaborated with them.

Because of this, these Cultivators all tacitly left their respective residences and began speeding toward Mount Buzhou.

This even included Jieyin and Zhunti from the West.

Although Slaying Three Corpses was public, they were still somewhat wary and suspicious in their hearts, preferring to obtain the Method of Proving the Dao from the Wu Clan by paying a price... Li Yun was unaware of all this.

At this moment, he, the Three Pure Ones, Five-Needle Pine, and others had arrived at the Mount Buzhou area after flying at high speed.

Just then, a shout came through: "Halt! This is Wu Clan Territory, Cultivators are forbidden from passing!"

In the next second, the ground ahead shook.

Accompanied by massive figures rising from the ground, eight Great Witches blocked the area in front of them, with the leading Great Witch being none other than Hou Yi.

"So many Great Witches!"

"The Wu Clan's growth is truly rapid."

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones' brows furrowed slightly. Their wariness of the Wu Clan grew even stronger, but it also solidified their determination to establish their own forces and compete with the Wu Clan.

"Fellow Daoists, please remain calm. Leave the rest to me."

Seeing Hou Yi, Li Yun immediately spoke to stop the restless Five-Needle Pine and others.

Then, Li Yun didn't hesitate and flew out from the group, saying, "Great Witch Hou Yi, please do not attack!"

As soon as he spoke, Hou Yi and the other Great Witches saw Li Yun.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

His pupils shrinking, Hou Yi quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop! Fellow Daoist Li Yun is a friend of our Wu Clan; he will not act against us!"

Hearing this, the other Great Witches present were stunned.

They didn't know about Li Yun's previous deeds, but they had heard the Ancestral Witches' command: they must not attack a Cultivator named Li Yun.

Thinking of this, the group of Great Witches immediately quieted down.

This scene made the Three Pure Ones, Five-Needle Pine, and other Cultivators feel quite emotional.

The other Cultivators were surprised that Li Yun was actually so well-received within the Wu Clan, while the Three Pure Ones were surprised that Li Yun's status in the Wu Clan had reached such a level.

Even a Great Witch had to give him Face. From this, it was evident that they still knew too little about Li Yun and his standing within the Wu Clan.

Exchanging glances, the Three Pure Ones no longer spoke rashly. They stared at the area where Li Yun was, no longer in a hurry.

Li Yun didn't care about any of this.

At this moment, he had ridden a cloud to the area in front of Hou Yi and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Great Witch Hou Yi. There is no need for concern. The Three Pure Ones and these Fellow Daoists have not come to be enemies of the Wu Clan, nor to start a war!"

"They have come this time to request an audience with the Ancestral Witches. They have matters that require the Ancestral Witches' help and are willing to pay a certain price in exchange!"

"Therefore, I ask the Great Witch to send word to Ancestral Witch Houtu. The specific details will need to be discussed between me and the Ancestral Witches!"

"Alright."

Nodding, Hou Yi didn't dare to refuse rashly.

He was well aware of Li Yun's status and his specific circumstances.

Since Li Yun had brought the Three Pure Ones and the others, it meant there were no hidden dangers in this matter.

Thinking of this, Hou Yi immediately shouted toward the rear: "Send word to the Ancestral Witches! Say that Fellow Daoist Li Yun has brought the Three Pure Ones and a group of Cultivators for a visit!"

After speaking, Hou Yi said no more, but turned to look at Li Yun: "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. Once we have the Ancestral Witches' reply, you may enter!"

"Good!"

Nodding, Li Yun did not refuse.

Using his Purple Gold Divine Pupils, he had already seen a Cultivator in the rear area sending the message.

After about five minutes, a Cultivator flew directly over.

Upon arriving, he bowed to Hou Yi and said, "Great Witch Hou Yi, the message has been delivered."

"Ancestral Witch Houtu just sent word, allowing Lord Li Yun to lead everyone inside."

"Good!"

Nodding, Hou Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further delay, he turned to Li Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, it's settled."

"However, a Great Witch must accompany you inside. Furthermore, those Cultivators must ensure they do not cause trouble within our Wu Clan Territory; otherwise, they will Face our clan's retaliation—a fight to the death!"
