59: The ancestral witches gathered, led by Emperor Jiang.

"Big Brother, why have you summoned us so urgently?"

"Big Brother, what happened? The battle on my side was so intense, why did it suddenly stop?"

"Big Brother..."

Within the Wu Clan Territory, Zhu Jiuyin and the other Ancestral Witches arrived at Di Jiang's residence immediately after receiving his message.

The eleven Ancestral Witches looked at Di Jiang, who was sitting there, and asked one after another, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Especially the hot-tempered Ancestral Witches like Zhu Rong and Qiangliang; they were scratching their heads in agitation, looking as if they wanted to head back and resume the war right this instant.

"Silence~"

Seeing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Di Jiang's eyes. He stood up, pressed his hands down, and said, "I have summoned you all this time because something important has happened and needs to be discussed!"

Then, Di Jiang wasted no more words and directly recounted the information Li Yun had sent.

"What!"

"Mount Buzhou has an innate supreme treasure."

"Those bastards from the Demon God Palace actually used this to entice Honghuang Cultivators to come and help?"

"I was wondering why the Cultivators I encountered were getting stronger and their numbers were increasing. It turns out the Cultivators of Honghuang have all come!"

"Bastards! Those fellows truly deserve to die ten thousand deaths. Do they really think my Wu Clan is easy to bully?"

"..."

At this moment, the Ancestral Witches were fuming with rage.

They gnashed their teeth in hatred at the actions of the Demon God Palace.

After all, if it weren't for the addition of those Honghuang Cultivators, the Demon God Palace would have likely collapsed in defeat long ago. They wouldn't have had to waste so much time or fall into such a predicament.

"Big Brother, what do we do next?"

At this time, Hou Tu stepped forward and asked, "Since Fellow Daoist Li Yun sent the message, did he mention a solution?"

As soon as she spoke, the other Ancestral Witches perked up and turned their gazes toward Di Jiang.

They held Li Yun in high regard.

Since the latter had gone to the trouble of informing them, there was no reason he wouldn't provide a solution.

"Indeed there is!"

Nodding, Di Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "That is to relinquish control over Mount Buzhou!"

"Allow Honghuang Cultivators to enter and compete for that innate supreme treasure. This way, the Demon God Palace's lure will become ineffective."

"After all, the goal of those Honghuang Cultivators is the innate supreme treasure. Not many will truly want to become enemies with our Wu Clan. This will significantly reduce the strength and foundation of the Demon God Palace!"

Hearing this, the Ancestral Witches present frowned.

Indeed, this was a solution.

However, Mount Buzhou was now basically controlled by the Wu Clan and was their exclusive territory.

If they allowed Cultivators to enter now, won't all the Wu Clan's efforts over the years be for naught? If those fellows make even more outrageous demands then, wouldn't we be unable to refuse them?

"Big Brother, this is inappropriate~"

Subconsciously, Xuan Ming spoke up, "This would put our Wu Clan in a passive position and even give people the impression that we are weak and easily bullied. This is not good news."

These words immediately gained the approval of the other Ancestral Witches.

Although they wanted to solve the problem, if it meant sacrificing the backbone of the entire Wu Clan, they were truly unwilling to accept it. At worst, they would just fight to the end!

"Enough."

Waving his hand, how could Di Jiang not know what everyone was thinking?

After pondering slightly, Di Jiang continued, "In fact, Fellow Daoist Li Yun also provided a solution for this matter: we must choose a leader for the Wu Clan and concentrate all of the Wu Clan's Luck onto that person!"

"As long as the Luck enhancement is sufficient, that person can break through the boundaries of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal and reach the Quasi-Saint Realm, thereby deterring the Honghuang Cultivators."

"After deterring them with force, we can use the previous conditions as a pretext to directly dispel the Honghuang Cultivators' thoughts of becoming our enemies. Then, the remaining Demon God Palace will be unable to resist us, and we can continue our expansion and growth as planned, eventually becoming the overlords of Honghuang."

"Conversely, if we remain as we are, although we are capable of suppressing Cultivators at the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection level, we cannot withstand their sheer numbers, nor can we secure the final ownership of Mount Buzhou."

Hearing this, the Ancestral Witches present opened their mouths, momentarily at a loss for words.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were all siblings who had manifested together, so their status was naturally equal.

Although Di Jiang was the first Ancestral Witch and their Big Brother, that was based on their respect and support for an elder brother. If a leader were chosen, wouldn't that person stand above them?

"Big Brother, I support you!"

Suddenly, Zhu Jiuyin spoke slowly from within the crowd, "Just as Fellow Daoist Li Yun said, our Wu Clan indeed needs to change our strategy!"

"Choosing a leader is the best choice, and the only choice."

"Only when you, Big Brother, break the shackles and possess Quasi-Saint power can you deter the Honghuang Cultivators; after all, an Ancestral Witch of Space with Quasi-Saint power is enough to make ninety-nine percent of Honghuang Cultivators lose the courage to oppose us."

"Furthermore, once Big Brother advances, our Wu Clan can rapidly expand. Even if we are a rank below, the Luck enhancement we receive will still increase significantly, greatly accelerating our own chances of advancing to the Quasi-Saint Realm."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Ancestral Witches present lit up.

"Indeed!"

"Although we would be a rank below, the benefits we would receive would still be immense."

"Moreover, whether now or in the future, they would still lead their own tribes. Di Jiang would at most be the one to issue unified orders, and final decisions would still be made through collective discussion."

"In this way, they wouldn't really lose much. Instead, it was the key to breaking the Wu Clan's deadlock and even the key to the Wu Clan's rise."

Exchanging glances, Hou Tu and the other Ancestral Witches spoke up one after another, "Big Brother, we support you!"

"Big Brother, from now on, you are the leader of our Wu Clan!"

"Big Brother, from now on you are the Wu Clan leader; we will listen to you."

"..."

In an instant, the Ancestral Witches made their decision. Their unified stance of support made Di Jiang feel a sense of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

Without any intention of refusing, Di Jiang spoke directly, "In that case, let's not waste any more time."

"We will start moving now. I will mobilize the Wu Clan's Luck to enhance myself and charge toward a higher Realm of cultivation!"

"Go to the front lines and stop the fighting. Invite the Honghuang Cultivators to negotiate in a thousand years. You can reveal that our Wu Clan has no interest in the innate supreme treasure and will allow the Honghuang Cultivators to enter and compete for it when it appears!"

"Alright!"

"Alright!"

Nodding, the Ancestral Witches did not refuse.

Following that, the Twelve Ancestral Witches went directly to the outside area, where they prayed to Pangu and announced Di Jiang as the leader of the Wu Clan, causing all the Wu Clan's Luck to converge upon Di Jiang himself.

After completing all this, Zhu Jiuyin and the other Ancestral Witches stayed no longer and led a large number of Great Witch elites straight to the main battlefield on the front lines.
