Chapter 669: Chapter 619: The Oppressive Force of the Witch God Sect Leader

“If that’s the case, please invite the person from Witch Deity Teaching in!” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.

He understood Wu Shijiu’s intention and knew that he needed to negotiate with the Witch God Sect Leader himself to make this matter truly possible, regardless of how much Wu Shijiu talked.

“Please wait a moment, National Master.” Wu Shijiu nodded, then slowly left the courtyard.

Pei Xuanjing nodded without saying much.

To Pei Xuanjing, even though he had firmly established his authority by suppressing the Taixu Venerable, securing sufficient power of speech, he was also aware that in this world, there were always higher skies and stronger people. He himself did not dare to claim to be an invincible existence lightly.

Furthermore, even though the strongest cultivators in the Nine Realms of the Spirit Realm were not many, there were quite a few. He had used up a lot of energy to suppress the Taixu Venerable. Now the other party had been suppressed in the Small Thousand World that he had created. Although it provided for the Small Thousand World, it also restrained the power of the Small Thousand World and temporarily restricted his own strength.

He also understood that unless necessary, he should not deliberately make too many enemies. After all, his goal was the Immortal Path, not to unite Heaven and Earth.

Just like establishing the Great Ming Divine Dynasty before, as long as he could gain the benefits he needed and achieve his goal, he could completely give up some of the benefits and choose to cooperate with those people to create a win-win situation.

The same went for this time. After the revival of Heaven and Earth, Pei Xuanjing fully understood that the benefits in this world could not and would not be monopolized by him alone. So he was already prepared to share a part of it.

However, even though he was prepared to surrender his interests, how exactly they were surrendered was entirely different. Whether he actively gave up or others forced and plundered, the meanings were completely different.

Now that he had proven his strength and made those strong men recognize that he was qualified to protect everything, it would be a completely different result when Pei Xuanjing made a compromise again.

He didn’t wait long. In just a moment, Wu Shijiu led a cultivator into the courtyard where Pei Xuanjing was.

This cultivator was the one who had received orders from the Witch God Sect Leader in Sky Wasteland.

After landing on the Ancestral Land, the cultivator was temporarily suppressed by the Ancestral Land and chose to close up at the Witch God Sect’s residence in the Ancestral Land for a while. Then he entered Tiandu to look for Wu Shijiu to convey the instructions of the Witch God Sect Leader.

However, he never expected that in the short time while he was secluding himself, a great misfortune would befall the Ancestral Land. Pei Xuanjing once again displayed his mighty power, not only creating the Small Thousand World but also suppressing the Taixu Venerable, the strongest in the Nine Realms of the Spirit Realm.

This was almost unbelievable for this cultivator of the Witch Deity Teaching. They had a long lifetime. Many events in Sky Wasteland were counted in tens or hundreds of years.

But in such a short time, Pei Xuanjing once again did such a shocking thing that it was horrifying. Were it not for the Witch God Sect Leader descending his clone to personally instruct, he would not dare to believe it.

“You know what to say and how to behave when you meet the National Master, don’t you?” Wu Shijiu said to the cultivator beside him.

Being from the Witch Deity Teaching, he knew the mind of these juniors too well. They all looked quiet and silent, but in reality, they were all incredibly proud deep down.

If the other party behaved too arrogantly in front of Pei Xuanjing, then not only would it be disadvantageous to him, but Wu Shijiu might get implicated as well.

“Shijiu, are you getting worried about this?” The young cultivator, with a hint of amusement, said to Wu Shijiu.

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this rusty sound, Wu Shijiu, who was initially calm, instantly stood on end. His eyes were filled with intense shock, staring at the cultivator, ready to attack at any time. He coldly said, “Sect Leader, when did you descend?”

That’s right, the person speaking now was not the cultivator from before, but the Witch God Sect Leader who had descended his clone.

All the memories of the Witch God Sect Leader instantly surfaced in Wu Shijiu’s mind. He instinctively took a defensive stand. Even though it was only the clone of the Witch God Sect Leader that had descended, he dared not be careless at all.

The methods of the Witch God Sect were extraordinarily unusual, and many of their divine abilities were more like the bizarre curses of the Ancient Era, impossible to remove once attached.

Exactly because of his deep understanding and familiarity with these things, Wu Shijiu was very shocked. Knowing that the Witch God Sect Leader’s clone had descended, he would never allow him to be so close.

“Little Shijiu, don’t be scared. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t wait until now.” The face of the cultivator, or rather the clone of the Witch God Sect Leader, showed a smile. He said in a hoarse voice.

Wu Shijiu, a strong cultivator in the Spirit Realm Eightfold and one of the top-notch powers in heaven and earth, was just a junior in the mouth of the Witch God Sect Leader.

But it was indeed true. Since Wu Shijiu joined the Witch Deity Teaching, the Witch God Sect Leader had already been the sect leader for countless years. No one knew his actual age or how strong he was. All they knew was that he was an old antique, and even many of the others who stood at the top of Spirit Realm Ninefold were quite wary of this old monster.

His smile seemed to want to soothe Wu Shijiu, but it didn’t work at all. Instead, it seemed to have the opposite effect. Rather than calming Wu Shijiu down, the sight of his rigid smile made Wu Shijiu instinctively back away. It seemed that only by doing so would he feel distanced from the danger.

“Sect Leader, your smile is quite unsightly.” Even though Wu Shijiu was startled, he didn’t show weakness. Instead, he mocked.

Even though he had managed to escape from the Witch Deity Teaching and narrowly escaped with his life while being chased by a top-notch powerhouse in the Ninefold Spirit Realm, which was indeed a great accomplishment to many cultivators, Wu Shijiu knew that it was purely by luck. That was because the one who was chasing him back then was not the Witch God Sect Leader, but another top-notch cultivator from the sect.

He was very wary of this Witch God Sect Leader. He knew very well that, even among those who stood at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, there was a very clear hierarchy. Without a doubt, whether in strength or experience, the Witch God Sect Leader was a top-tier existence among the many top-notch cultivators in the Ninefold Spirit Realm.

“If the Sect Leader has descended, why not come in and have a chat?”

A gentle voice, like spring wind blowing over, dissipated the awkward atmosphere between the two and also somewhat calmed Wu Shijiu down.

He knew that since Pei Xuanjing had spoken up, it meant that the other party had noticed what was happening here and was willing to intervene to protect him.
