69: Knowing the whole story, goodbye Houtu.

"This voice~"

Hearing Li Yun's shout, Hou Yi was first stunned, and then his entire being became excited.

He couldn't have heard it wrong; the master of this Saint was Li Yun!

He had seen Xing Tian before and knew it was Li Yun's strategies that had won the Opportunity for the Witch Tribe, even breaking the Witch Tribe's deadlock and allowing them to achieve victory so quickly.

Even Di Jiang's advancement to Quasi-Saint was due to Li Yun.

If Li Yun hadn't told them to choose a leader and have the Witch Tribe's Luck support Di Jiang, Di Jiang could never have advanced to Quasi-Saint in such a short time. This slaughter against the Demon God Palace would not have ended so quickly, let alone been a complete victory.

Thinking of this, Hou Yi did not hesitate and immediately turned to those beside him, saying, "Rest here for a bit. I have some business over there. No one is allowed to follow!"

After saying that, Hou Yi strode toward the woods where Li Yun was.

The surrounding members of the Witch Tribe saw this clearly, but no one dared to disobey Hou Yi's order and follow. After exchanging glances, the group of Witch Tribe members sat down and began to recover.

"Greetings, Lord Li Yun!"

On the other side, Hou Yi reached the area where Li Yun was and cupped his hands in a respectful salute.

Although Li Yun's cultivation was not high, what he had done for the Witch Tribe was admirable. In the hearts of Hou Yi and most of the Witch Tribe, he was an existence second only to the Ancestral Witches, so he naturally deserved respect.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need for this!"

Waving his hand, Li Yun looked at Hou Yi with some helplessness.

Unlike Xing Tian's boisterous nature, Hou Yi was clearly much more attentive to etiquette.

Thinking of this, Li Yun no longer hesitated and asked directly, "Hou Yi, looking at this situation, has the Demon God Palace been defeated?"

"Tell me specifically how the situation is!"

"Alright!"

Responding, Hou Yi did not dare to be negligent and immediately recounted what had happened recently.

After listening, Li Yun finally understood completely.

No wonder the Demon God Palace was defeated so quickly; it wasn't just that his strategy worked, but more importantly, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had followed his suggestion to elect a leader.

Di Jiang became the leader of the Witch Tribe and harnessed the Witch Tribe's Luck to empower himself, which allowed him to advance to Quasi-Saint in a short time and decisively secure the victory.

After understanding the reason, Li Yun nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. This way, Cultivators won't be able to pose a threat to the Witch Tribe in the short term, nor can they stop the Witch Tribe's rise and expansion."

"However, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. The expansion and growth of the Witch Tribe must be perfected as quickly as possible. Only by fully expanding the fruits of this victory can benefits be maximized."

"Hou Yi, besides hunting down those Demon God Palace Cultivators, have you continued to expand the scope of your territory?"

Hou Yi looked at Li Yun in some surprise and said, "Lord, we haven't!"

"The Ancestral Witches only spoke of hunting the Demon God Palace Cultivators. The territory only covers the entire Mount Buzhou area; they had no intention of using this Opportunity to continue expanding."

"Lord, do you mean we still need to continue expanding the territory? But although the number of our Witch Tribe members is large, it hasn't reached such a scale yet."

Hearing this, Li Yun frowned.

The Ancestral Witches had actually only taken Mount Buzhou without continuing to expand; this was indeed somewhat unexpected.

After all, Di Jiang had already embarked on the path of Fortune. How could he not know that expanding territory would gain more of the world's Luck? How could he not take this Opportunity to strengthen the Witch Tribe and increase its Luck to help the other Ancestral Witches also advance to Quasi-Saint?

But on second thought, Li Yun was soon relieved.

The Ancestral Witches themselves lacked a Primordial Spirit, which led to their limited vision. It wasn't impossible that they failed to seize such an Opportunity immediately.

Thinking of this, Li Yun's original intention to leave faded slightly.

After a slight deliberation, he looked at Hou Yi and asked, "Do you know where Ancestral Witch Di Jiang is?"

"Ancestral Witch Di Jiang has returned."

Not daring to be negligent, Hou Yi quickly replied with a serious expression, "The Honghuang Cultivators have gathered in the Witch Tribe's territory, waiting for the birth of that innate supreme treasure!"

"Besides that, those Honghuang Great Divine Power Holders are also discussing the Dao there, sparring with each other to verify their own Daos. This has led to constant fighting, so Ancestral Witch Di Jiang went back to personally preside over and suppress it."

"Even the rest of the Ancestral Witches have returned. Now it is we Great Witches leading the clansmen to hunt down those fleeing Cultivators from the Demon God Palace."

"As for those fellows like Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, they fled early on, showing no concern for the lives of the other Demon God Palace Cultivators. We didn't pay them much attention either~"

Hearing this, Li Yun's eyes lit up.

Honghuang Cultivators discussing the Dao within the Witch Tribe's territory—this was simply a feast of Opportunity!

Especially for him at this moment, if he could participate, even if he didn't voice an opinion and just listened to the Dao, the benefits he would receive would be enormous.

Thinking of this, Li Yun no longer hesitated and looked at Hou Yi, saying, "In that case, I will go and discuss it with Ancestral Witch Di Jiang!"

"Continue your pursuit as you should, but during the pursuit, also take note of suitable areas for territory and topographical maps. The Witch Tribe's territory must be expanded then!"

"I can't tell you the specifics, but I believe the Ancestral Witches will agree to this."

"I understand."

Nodding, Hou Yi did not ask further.

Since Li Yun had said so, he wouldn't doubt the necessity of this matter.

After all, the Witch Tribe's current state, besides the leadership of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, was primarily due to Li Yun's help and strategies.

After a few more brief words, Li Yun used an Escape Technique to leave the area, and Hou Yi also walked out of the woods, gathering the Greater and Lesser Witches to continue the pursuit.

However, the difference was that from then on, Hou Yi began to record the terrain and topography along the way as Li Yun had instructed. He would even pass the information to the leading Great Witches of other pursuit squads he encountered for them to execute!

Under these circumstances, Li Yun flew rapidly and arrived at the Mount Buzhou area before long.

After finding a squad from the Houtu Tribe, Li Yun immediately had them send word to Ancestral Witch Houtu. He did not rashly enter the Witch Tribe's territory but instead waited where he was.

It wasn't that Li Yun wasn't in a hurry, but since he had decided to develop in secret, he had to make others think he only knew the Ancestral Witches and that his relationship with the Witch Tribe wasn't particularly close.

Time flew by, and before long, Ancestral Witch Houtu received the message and arrived using the Shrinking Ground to an Inch Divine Ability.

Upon arriving at the area, Houtu waved her hand to disperse the clansmen of the Houtu Tribe nearby, then walked toward Li Yun and cupped her hands in greeting, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist. Otherwise, our Witch Tribe would not have achieved such a complete victory this time, or even..."
