79: Persuade Houtu to change her appearance

Meanwhile, Li Yun had already hurriedly returned to the Witch Clan's territory.

Relying on the token Houtu had given him, he encountered no obstacles along the way.

After some brief inquiries, he learned that the Ancestral Witches had already entered Pangu Hall.

Without hesitation, Li Yun went directly to the area of Pangu Hall. However, the newly born members of the Witch Clan there didn't recognize him, and merely having Ancestral Witch Houtu's token wasn't enough to grant him entry.

With no other choice, Li Yun could only have a Great Witch go notify Houtu, while he waited patiently on the spot.

Not long after, Houtu arrived in a hurry. Upon seeing Li Yun, she didn't ask anything immediately. Instead, she nodded to the surrounding guards and then led Li Yun towards Pangu Hall.

Only after entering Pangu Hall did Houtu finally let out a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Li Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, didn't you say before that we shouldn't rashly reveal our relationship?"

"Coming directly to Pangu Hall like this, if any Cultivators saw you, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?"

Hearing this, Li Yun gave an awkward smile.

He had indeed been worried about that before, but given the current circumstances, he couldn't afford to care so much.

After all, the struggle for the innate supreme treasure had already ended.

From the moment Di Jiang and Laozi joined forces, Hongjun's Clone was already doomed.

Thus, once the battle ended, it would also mean the Great Divine Power Holders gathered here would depart one after another.

This was not what he wanted to see.

He needed to extract sufficient benefits and value from this group, and even needed to let the Great Divine Power Holders of the Primordial World know about other methods of advancement ahead of time, thereby greatly curbing the future expansion of the numbers within the Mystic Sect.

After all, from the moment Hongjun's Clone appeared here, Li Yun understood this 'Old Six' wasn't ignoring the affairs of the Primordial World just to pursue his own Method of Proving the Dao.

At this stage, he naturally couldn't clash head-on with Hongjun, but he could still trip him up, hindering Hongjun's possibility of Attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint in the short term, buying himself more time to develop and grow stronger.

Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately spoke up, "Ancestral Witch Houtu, I've come to find you this time for an extremely important matter."

"I hope you can gather the Cultivators who entered the Mount Buzhou area this time once more. I will appear with a completely new identity to make a deal with them!"

"This matter holds benefits not only for them but also for the Witch Clan and the various Ancestral Witches."

Hearing this, Ancestral Witch Houtu frowned.

She didn't doubt Li Yun's words, as previous events had already proven his words to be true.

However, she was still somewhat curious about what matter could make Li Yun so urgent.

Subconsciously, Ancestral Witch Houtu asked, "It can be done, but could Fellow Daoist Li Yun give me some more specific information?"

"After all, summoning those Cultivators to gather is no simple matter. Even we Ancestral Witches don't wish for them to linger here for too long."

Hearing this, Li Yun roughly understood Houtu's meaning.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Yun said, "I intend to disseminate the cultivation trends and directions for advancing to the Quasi-Saint realm. This is what the Cultivators of the Primordial World need most at this stage, so I plan to trade it for maximum benefit!"

"Furthermore, I previously spoke to those Cultivators about the concept of cooperation and mutual benefit. The Witch Clan can also seize this opportunity to establish cooperative relationships with a portion of the Cultivators!"

"I know the Witch Clan has indeed grown much stronger now, but relying solely on the Witch Clan itself, it's impossible to firmly establish yourselves in the Primordial World, especially since Quasi-Saint level Cultivators aren't limited to just Ancestral Witch Di Jiang and Laozi; there are many others hidden in the shadows."

"You might not have sensed it within Pangu Hall, but not long ago, a mysterious Quasi-Saint appeared within Mount Buzhou. What this means, Ancestral Witch Houtu, you should understand!"

Hearing this, Houtu fell silent.

She understood the meaning of Li Yun's words. This indeed held great benefits for the Witch Clan.

If they could use this opportunity to establish cooperation with some of the top Great Divine Power Holders, it would be of immense benefit to the Witch Clan's future.

But Li Yun actually intended to provide information on advancing to the Quasi-Saint realm? This truly caught her off guard and even made her hesitant!

After all, the current Witch Clan primarily relies on Fortune. If other Cultivators also walk this path, the Witch Clan's expansion would face significant trouble. That would be more loss than gain, even... "Ancestral Witch Houtu, rest assured!"

Seeing Houtu's conflicted expression, how could Li Yun not know what she was worried about?

Without any hesitation, Li Yun immediately spoke, "I will not disclose information about Fortune. Moreover, this method is not suitable for the vast majority of people. They are not the Witch Clan and cannot occupy vast territories!"

"Whew~"

Receiving Li Yun's promise, Houtu immediately let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the Method of Proving the Dao through Fortune wasn't disseminated, there wouldn't be any major loss for the Witch Clan and the Ancestral Witches.

Thinking this, Houtu immediately said, "No problem!"

"I'll go to Mount Buzhou now to find Big Brother and invite those Cultivators back!"

"But Fellow Daoist Li Yun, how will you conceal your true form? How will you completely change your appearance?"

"These are top-tier Great Divine Power Holders; ordinary illusions won't fool them!"

Hearing this, the corner of Li Yun's mouth lifted.

If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have decided on this plan.

Thinking this, Li Yun willed it and directly activated the Three-Legged Golden Crow Transformation. His entire aura rapidly changed to that of a Three-legged Golden Crow, and his appearance swiftly transformed.

In the blink of an eye, his appearance had changed into a figure nearly two meters tall, with golden hair and golden eyes, radiating an aura of utmost Yang and masculine Qi.

"This aura~ A Golden Crow!"

Sensing the fluctuations of Li Yun's aura, Houtu's expression subconsciously changed, a flicker of killing intent surfacing in her eyes.

After all, the previous Demon God Palace was created by Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi. Although it had been defeated, the Witch Clan had also lost many members.

It was only because this transformation happened right in front of her that she didn't suspect it was Dijun or Donghuang Taiyi coming to Pangu Hall to provoke them.

"Ancestral Witch Houtu, how is it?"

Opening his eyes, Li Yun smiled as he looked at Houtu and inquired.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow Transformation, besides allowing transformation into the Three-legged Golden Crow's true form, could also take on a human shape.

This way, even if others investigated him, they would only perceive him as a Three-legged Golden Crow in origin, unable to see his original state.

"Simply incredible~"

Her mouth agape, Houtu was still somewhat incredulous, but couldn't help saying, "Since you are confident, I have no objections!"

"I'll set off now. You prepare yourself!"

"After those people return, I'll call for you. Whether you succeed or not will depend on you then."
