Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint
Chapter 175: Heavy damage to Gonggong, Hou Tu’s request
Chapter 175: Heavy damage to Gonggong, Hou Tu’s request
Finally, Hou Tu came up with the idea of compromise. The cost of going to war was too high. Now they had more than just Qi Yu as an enemy. The demon clan and the Fengqishan lineage were also eyeing them covetously.
Therefore, after repeated consideration, Hou Tu decided to listen to Qi Yu’s conditions first.
As long as the latter’s conditions are not too excessive, then the Earth Emperor Palace is not absolutely unable to make a truce with the Black Water Abyss. Anyway, such a truce is due to the will of heaven from Taiyi clan, which has sufficient constraints. It will only last for about a thousand years, which is completely within the acceptable range of the Witch Clan.
With this in mind, she softened her tone and showed some signs of weakness and negotiation.
“My meaning is very simple. Now that we have His Majesty Taiyi’s decree, before the grand court meeting, you and I must not start a war lightly. So why don’t we make an alliance based on this?”
“The Forgotten River is used as the boundary. The land within the Forgotten River is your land boundary, which is governed by the Earth Emperor Palace to suppress the netherworld. I will never interfere. The land outside the Forgotten River is where my Black Water Dao Palace is located, which should be governed by the Water Palace. You must not cross the line.”
“How about this? For a thousand years, our two families will stop fighting for a thousand years. When the three thousand years of truce is over, we can discuss who is the better of us.”
Qi Yu opened his mouth and stated his side’s conditions in one breath, and offered an alliance that seemed fair.
But Hou Tu’s expression changed immediately after hearing this.
“You are so presumptuous!”
At the same time, Gonggong behind Hou Tu sneered and walked out from the crowd.
“Emperor Xichen, you are so arrogant. You want to take Wangchuan River as your boundary? Why don’t you just take the Earth Palace and Huangquan as well? This way, you can directly become the Lord of the Earth Realm of my sister Hou Tu!”
With new and old grudges piled up together, Gonggong was extremely excited at the moment. Mysterious light was surging around him, and he almost had the momentum to take action!
You must know that now Qi Yu’s so-called Black Water Palace actually controls the area above the Black Water Abyss only, almost covering the entire Black Water. Therefore, you must be especially alert to the Nine Springs of the Sea of Blood outside the Black Water, and guard against intrusions from the Sea of Blood from time to time.
The concept of “beyond the Wangchuan River” that he mentioned is much larger. The underworld such as Yinshan Mountain, Taoshan Mountain, etc. actually also belong to the category of “beyond the Wangchuan River”, which covers almost one-fifth of the land in the entire world!
If Qi Yu really did what he said, then Hou Tu would suffer a great loss. This was no longer a simple peace negotiation, it was simply asking the Earth Palace to cede land and pay compensation! If she really did this, I’m afraid Hou Tu’s foundation in the underworld would be unstable, which would even impact her status as the Mother of the Underworld and the Lord of the Earth Palace!
How can such a thing be allowed!
But at this moment, Wu Men’s thoughts were obviously not within Qi Yu’s consideration. Even after Gong Gong spoke, his eyes slowly swept over. The pressure seemed to have condensed into substance, without any warmth at all.
You know, now Qi Yu is a strong man who killed two corpses, and his cultivation is improving! Now he is above the Black Water Abyss, and has been blessed by the Black Water Origin, so this glance is no less powerful than the Dao Shout after Hou Tu merged with the Netherworld Origin, and both are extremely powerful means that cannot be underestimated.
Under Qi Yu’s deliberate targeting, Gonggong suddenly felt something was wrong. At that moment, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression. From Yinshan Mountain to Wangchuan River, from Black Water to Yellow Spring, it seemed that the entire world was rejecting his existence, and all the ways were targeting him. It was a denial from the root.
At the same time, the Qi Yu in his eyes also changed, as if he had transformed into a giant god. The terrifying pressure stirred up the heaven and earth wantonly. All this even made Gonggong think for a time that he was not facing Qi Yu, but a Hunyuan saint with a tendency to destroy the world!
“what!!”
Finally, under such horrible oppression, Gonggong’s sanity seemed to be affected, and even his judgment disappeared at this moment. He actually jumped up directly, manifested his true form of the witch god in the air, and attacked Qi Yu!
At this moment, not to mention the powerful ones like Hou Tu, even Qi Yu, the person involved, was surprised!
He just used a similar method to Hou Tu, but he had never guided Gong Gong’s mind. He didn’t expect that the latter would lose all his sanity at this moment and even want to attack and hurt people. This is not the state of mind that a quasi-saint should have!
The current situation seems more like there was already some problem with Gonggong, which was triggered at this moment.
But what does this have to do with Qi Yu?
Looking at Gonggong who was coming to kill him, Qi Yu just sneered slightly. This was a good opportunity to establish his authority. However, Gonggong, a mere water god, was no longer worthy of Qi Yu’s attention.
Immediately, he attacked forward with his palm. His right hand, as white and flawless as chaotic jade, infinitely enlarged at this moment, covering the sky and the sun, and fell against the trend above the black water abyss.
Although Qi Yu did not use all his strength in this attack, he did not show any intention of holding back at all.
The next moment, the giant palm slammed onto Gonggong’s witch god’s true body in an instant. Its divine power was so boundless that it actually dispersed the tremendous magic power that Gonggong had gathered in his madness. With one blow, it broke the witch god’s true body, and Gonggong was knocked back at a speed far higher than when he came. He finally fell into the depths of the underworld, knocking down countless mountains and shaking the entire earth!
After suffering such a blow, Gonggong was seriously injured and fainted in an instant. Qi Yu, who caused all this, simply withdrew his attack slowly and gave an evaluation of Gonggong in the end.
“Out of control.”
These four simple words suddenly made the entire world fall silent.
The expressions of the gods of the Earth Emperor Palace present became a little subtle, while the faces of several great ancestor witches were gloomy, staring at Qi Yu in front of them.
“Emperor Xishen, are you going to start a war with my Wu Sect by doing this?”
Finally, Hou Tu spoke, but her voice was flat and sounded very indifferent, as if she had no emotion at all.
Only those who are truly familiar with Houtu know that this kind of indifference is a manifestation of the extreme anger in the heart of the Netherworld Taoist Mother. At this moment, the murderous intent in Houtu’s heart has truly boiled over. The reason why it has not erupted is that Houtu’s state of mind has indeed reached a high level.
Fortunately, the current situation still tied up Hou Tu, and she also knew that now was not the time to start a war, and Qi Yu’s terrifying strength in defeating Gong Gong with one palm made the former fearful and unwilling to act rashly. All these factors combined to make Hou Tu, the ruler of the earth, barely suppress her anger.
“If the Emperor really wanted to negotiate, why did he attack my elder brother? Did he want to provoke my Wu clan, or was he dissatisfied with the Earth Emperor’s lineage and plotting rebellion?”
This time, it was not Hou Tu who spoke, but Xuan Ming.
The Heavenly Rain Master, who was ranked the last among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, was not very strong, but his reaction was quick enough. Before Hou Tu spoke again, he immediately put two big accusations on Qi Yu and threatened him, trying to make the latter reveal some flaws in his words.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu ignored Xuan Ming at all, just looked at Hou Tu and said in a cold voice.
“Hou Tu, I think I also need an explanation.”
“Gong Gong is the god of your witch sect. In the past, Zhu Rong was also the god of your witch sect.”
“In front of everyone, two of your witch clan’s ancestors have already attacked me. This is a rebellion. Could it be that you are trying to join forces with the devil and go against the Heavenly Court and His Majesty Taiyi?”
Obviously, although both of them were accusations, Qi Yu’s method was much more sophisticated than Xuan Ming’s. Compared with the latter’s forced and forced approach, Qi Yu’s words were smooth and natural.
But at this moment, in extreme rage, Hou Tu was no longer as cautious as usual, and acted much more freely, with a feeling of being able to do whatever she wanted.
Faced with Qi Yu’s accusations, Hou Tu did not respond immediately, but turned her head to face Xuan Ming Dao.
“Back off and don’t talk to him about this.”
Then, she looked at Qi Yu again, her eyes cold.
“Emperor, now that things have come to this, I think there is no need for you and me to talk nonsense anymore.”
“From my point of view, the Emperor probably has no intention of starting a war. Since the Emperor wants to take the underworld, I can give him this opportunity. However, the Emperor needs to agree to one condition of mine.”
“No, my lady!”
“Palace Master, you can’t do this!”
“…”
Before Qi Yu responded, all the gods in the royal palace around Hou Tu could no longer sit still and started to speak up, wanting to oppose the decision made by Hou Tu.
These gods belonging to the Earth Emperor Palace, from today’s perspective, are actually just a group of old antiques among the gods. They are just outstanding in status and strength, and have some background of their own.
In their eyes, there is naturally nothing more important than maintaining the majesty of the Emperor of Earth, and the most important thing is that the land must not be lost, and the underworld must not be occupied by outsiders and power for any reason.
The statement at this moment had obviously touched their bottom line, which made all the gods “excited” at this moment. However, Hou Tu no longer showed her usual concern for this, and had no intention of compromising at all.
If it were any other time, Hou Tu would have considered many other factors, but at this moment, under the anger, Hou Tu’s deepest heart was surprisingly calm. In her opinion, it was obviously unrealistic to think about starting a war now. Qi Yu’s means were unclear, his trump card was unknown, and his strength was strong. It was indeed not advisable to provoke him at this juncture.
Besides, after all, it is just an ally of the Fengqishan lineage. The two sides do not have any irreconcilable and fundamental disputes. Therefore, instead of fighting to the death at this moment, it is better for both sides to take a step back, and they can also gain some real benefits.
Therefore, Hou Tu ignored all the opposing voices and just cared about herself.
“It’s very simple. Since the Emperor wants to rule the Forgotten River, then the danger of the Sea of Blood should be dealt with by the Emperor alone, so that it cannot endanger the reincarnation cycle. Do you think this request is not too much?”
“If the Emperor is willing to agree to this, then all other matters can be discussed. You and I will stop fighting and make peace. We will draw a line and rule our own side.”
“And if the Emperor does not wish, then you can go back and prepare for battle. The Emperor must give an explanation for taking my Black Water Abyss.”
“There are two roads. Please take your pick.”
