147: Hongyun's reminder to expel Fuxi and his gang.

"No need to say more!"

Before Fuxi could finish, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang was the first to wave his hand and interrupt, saying, "Our Wu Clan bears no great hatred or grievances against Cultivators!"

"But our Wu Clan distinguishes clearly between love and hate. Back then, as high-ranking members of the Demon God Palace, you led your subordinates to slaughter the children of my Wu Clan. This matter will certainly not end easily!"

"Even if you are no longer members of the Demon God Palace and the palace itself has been destroyed, we cannot treat former enemies as equals!"

"Now go back to where you came from; otherwise, you will stay here forever today!"

As he spoke, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang's aura surged out, and the power of a Quasi-Saint directly covered the area where Fuxi and the others were.

In an instant, Fuxi and the others turned pale.

Under that terrifying pressure, they had no power to resist at all.

They even clearly felt Ancestral Witch Di Jiang's killing intent. If there weren't so many Cultivators present, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang would likely have attacked directly instead of wasting words with them.

For a time, Fuxi and the others were all extremely dejected.

By now, their group's goal had failed, and they had no possibility of obtaining any cultivation methods other than Slaying Three Corpses.

Though they were unwilling...

...they did not dare to gamble on whether Ancestral Witch Di Jiang would strike.

After exchanging glances, Fuxi and the others stood up with difficulty, cupped their hands to Ancestral Witch Di Jiang, and said, "Ancestral Witch Di Jiang, we will leave now!"

"Ancestral Witch Di Jiang, we are leaving!"

"..."

With that, the group turned and left on clouds, looking dejected and lost.

This scene was witnessed by all the surrounding Cultivators.

Although no one said anything, everyone realized one thing.

That is, do not become an enemy of the Wu Clan, and do not enter a life-and-death struggle with them.

Between Cultivators, previous conflicts could still be resolved, and Karma could even be settled by paying a certain price.

But for the Wu Clan, this clearly wouldn't work.

The Wu Clan has no Primordial Spirit and doesn't care about Karma at all; all their actions are based on their own likes and dislikes.

Since they could directly reject Fuxi and the others now, they could reject others in the future, or even hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Of course, this also indirectly showed the Wu Clan's clear distinction between love and hate. If they were sure to avenge a grudge, they would naturally repay a kindness.

Instead of making an enemy of the Wu Clan over trivial matters, which would be more loss than gain, it was better to be on good terms with them. Not necessarily for any reward or help, but at least to ensure peace, and even... 'Not bad, this display of power has immediately established the Wu Clan's standing within the circle of Honghuang Cultivators.'

Taking in the reactions of the surrounding Cultivators, Li Yun remained calm on the surface but nodded inwardly, approving of Ancestral Witch Di Jiang's maneuver.

Although they had offended Fuxi and the others, and they would surely become enemies in the future.

But this opportunity allowed the Honghuang Cultivators to understand the Wu Clan's character, thereby gaining more goodwill from them. This was an extremely good move for the future development of the entire Wu Clan.

Most importantly, Li Yun knew very well that Fuxi and the others were future members of the Yao Race, allies of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, and would even become Hongjun's pawns.

Under such circumstances, he naturally wouldn't agree to give them any Method of Proving the Dao. After all, he knew the conflict between Fuxi's group and the Wu Clan was irreconcilable.

Having already placed his bets on the Wu Clan and the Three Pure Ones, he naturally wouldn't choose to invest in members of the Yao Race like Donghuang Taiyi!

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun~"

At this moment, Hongyun approached Li Yun and whispered, "Fellow Daoist, about my matter~"

"No problem!"

Snapping back to reality, Li Yun glanced at Hongyun and knew what was on his mind.

Although he didn't know why Hongyun insisted on changing his Method of Proving the Dao, since the other party wanted it, Li Yun wouldn't refuse. After all, they were on good terms.

Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately flew forward.

"Ancestral Witch Di Jiang!"

Under the gaze of many Cultivators, Li Yun walked directly to the area in front of Ancestral Witch Di Jiang and spoke, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun wants to exchange for another Method of Proving the Dao with Fellow Daoist Di Yi. I wonder if the Ancestral Witch could help put in a word?"

As soon as these words were spoken, except for the few who already knew...

...the rest of the Cultivators widened their eyes and looked at Li Yun, Hongyun, and Ancestral Witch Di Jiang.

After all, since Hongyun already had a Method of Proving the Dao, he actually wanted to exchange for more? What did this mean? Was the Method of Proving the Dao he got before unsuitable?

But this was basically impossible. Many people had exchanged for the Method of Proving the Dao, but from beginning to end, no one had said it was unsuitable or unreliable.

In that case, why did Hongyun insist on changing?

Most importantly, why didn't Hongyun say it himself, but instead sent a Golden Immortal Realm Cultivator?

"No problem!"

Ignoring the surprised looks of the surrounding Cultivators, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang agreed without hesitation.

After all, he knew very well that since Li Yun had spoken, it meant he had already agreed. Speaking to him was clearly just a formality.

"Then many thanks to Ancestral Witch Di Jiang."

With a curl of his lips, Li Yun cupped his hands in a salute. He didn't linger by Ancestral Witch Di Jiang's side but turned back to Hongyun and the others, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, mission accomplished!"

"When Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin returns, if Fellow Daoist Di Yi agrees, you can go with him. If he refuses, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang will help you speak to him."

"Many thanks, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang!"

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

Hongyun was also excited now. After bowing to Ancestral Witch Di Jiang in the distance, he looked at Li Yun gratefully and said, "Fellow Daoist, I will definitely repay you handsomely after this matter is over!"

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Li Yun, be careful of Zhunti and Jieyin!"

At this point, Hongyun leaned in and whispered, "I received news that Zhunti has put out word that he is in a life-and-death struggle with you!"

"They came here to seek the Method of Proving the Dao. Once the two of them advance to Quasi-Saint, they will definitely strike at you. You must be careful, Fellow Daoist!"

Although he had witnessed Li Yun's combat strength comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal before, Hongyun knew very well how massive the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was.

Once either Jieyin or Zhunti advanced to Quasi-Saint, Li Yun would inevitably become the first person they sought revenge against.

"Is that so?"

With a curl of his lips, Li Yun glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti not far away and smiled coldly, "What if they can't get it?"

"They want a life-and-death struggle with me yet still want to come to the Wu Clan to seek the Method of Proving the Dao? Do they really think I'm a pushover?"

"Thank you for the warning, Fellow Daoist Hongyun. I will keep this in mind."

Hearing this, Hongyun nodded and said no more.

He knew Li Yun had a close relationship with the Ancestral Witches. If he intervened now, the Ancestral Witches would definitely choose to help him rather than Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun~"

Suddenly, a call interrupted their conversation.

Looking toward the source of the sound, a relatively unfamiliar woman could be seen flying toward them.

Upon arriving before Li Yun, the woman bowed and said, "Mudan, under the command of the Queen Mother of the West, greets Fellow Daoist!"
