Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 168: The Remnant Soul of the Golden Crow, a Glimmer of Hope

"not good!"

With this blow from Kuafu's stick, the ten golden crows were immediately awakened.

The tenth brother and You Wen were relatively rational. They understood that they had caused a great disaster and they were even more aware that they were no match for the Great Wizard of the Wizard Clan.

“It’s not a good time to stay here, let’s leave quickly!”

The other nine Golden Crows also regained some of their sanity under this stick. They immediately formed a formation and cast a spell, controlling the Sun's True Fire to harass from a distance while rushing madly towards the East China Sea.

Fortunately, they are birds and are born with excellent speed.

Although Kuafu was quite powerful, he did not know how to fly, his speed was slightly slower, and he was not good at long-range attacks, which gave them room to turn around.

Otherwise, if it were any other great wizard, they would probably be in great danger.

"You damned flat-haired beast, you killed our people and you still want to escape?!"

Kuafu shouted angrily, holding a peach wood stick, and chased after him relentlessly.

He chased after the Golden Crow, crossed over mountains and ridges, drank up the Yangtze River, passed through dark valleys, and chased it all the way from the inland of the primitive world to the outer land.

Logically speaking, with his physique, he would not feel tired even if he ran around the primitive continent for thousands of years, let alone chasing from the inland to the outer continent.

But the strange thing is that just this short distance made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Just like a frog in boiling water, the feeling was not obvious at first, and by the time he discovered it, it was too late.

"Brothers, this great wizard is dying, let's send him off!"

The second brother, Zhong Lang, had his eyes flashing slightly. He seized the opportunity, took control of the Golden Crow Formation, and sent out a golden fireball, which hit Kuafu's chest hard, giving him a severe blow.

The Sun's True Fire is an extremely violent flame. Even if it is just a Golden Crow, a perfect Taiyi Golden Immortal, emitting a ray of the Sun's True Fire, it can make ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals retreat.

After the ten Golden Crows formed the Golden Crow Formation, the True Sun Fire they emitted became even more powerful.

For some unknown reason, Kuafu was exhausted both physically and mentally. After being hit by the fireball, he vomited blood and fell heavily to the ground, crushing a mountain. He was unable to get up for a while.

"Brothers, he is almost dying. This is a sign of a spent force."

"This big fool chased us all the way and was laughed at by all the creatures in the prehistoric world. We can't just let this grudge go!"

Hearing what the second brother Zhong Lang said, the other nine golden crows couldn't help but recall their experiences during this period, and a hint of anger appeared on their faces.

The calamity aura once again filled their minds, causing them to lose their minds once again and attack Kuafu frantically.

In the end, under the fierce attack of the sun's true fire, Kuafu was no longer able to move.

As a breeze blew by, Kuafu's body disappeared, leaving only a peach wood stick in its place, which turned into a peach forest.

The ten golden crows were overjoyed when they saw this. Not only did they get their revenge, but they also killed a great witch. They could now make famous speeches in the ancient times and receive praise from the elders of the demon clan.

But what they didn't notice was that tens of thousands of miles away from here, a figure suddenly turned around and looked towards the peach forest that the peach wood stick had transformed into.

His sharp eyes suddenly turned red, his hair stood on end with anger, and he immediately drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the golden crow frolicking in the sky.

This great wizard is Houyi!

After waking up from Pangu Palace, he and Kuafu have been good brothers. Now that his brother has died tragically, how can he just sit back and watch?
Hou Yi is one of the most powerful wizards in the wizard clan. He has extraordinary strength and unparalleled archery skills.

As he let go of the arrow, it pierced the void, instantly crossed tens of thousands of miles of space, and pierced the heart of a golden crow.

This arrow was made by Gonggong himself at the request of Houyi, and it contained the mysterious great way of water.

The moment the arrow pierced through the heart, the great way of water contained in the arrow gushed out, and the true fire of the sun on the Golden Crow's body was instantly extinguished.

With its feathers all wet, it fell from the sky and hit the ground.

At the same time, heaven.

Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi and Xihe, who were in seclusion refining the Tuwu Sword, suddenly felt a pain in their hearts.

Through their blood connection, they felt a Golden Crow falling. They became extremely anxious and immediately transformed into three beams of light, heading towards the coast of the East China Sea.

Especially Xihe, who was closely connected to her son, looked extremely pale and no longer had the calmness of the past.

No matter how domineering she usually is, she is also a mother in front of the ten golden crows.

The coast of the East China Sea.

The unexpected change came suddenly, and the other Golden Crows were all frightened. The calamity aura that permeated the spiritual platform not only did not dissipate, but instead became even tighter.

They didn't know what to do for a moment, and hovered in the air in a daze.

Hou Yi's state was completely opposite to that of the Golden Crow. At this moment he was extremely calm, with murderous intent in his eyes. He vowed to kill all ten Golden Crows to avenge Kuafu.

He continued to bend his bow and draw his arrows, and several black water arrows broke through the air one after another.

Every time a Mysterious Water Arrow is shot, it means the death of a Golden Crow.

After a short while, there were only four golden crows left in the sky.

"Escape! Escape!"

After so many Golden Crows died, the eldest uncle finally came to his senses and immediately pushed the other Golden Crows to escape towards the East China Sea.

However, Houyi is not a great wizard like Kuafu who is not good at long-range attacks.

No matter how fast the Golden Crow is, it cannot be faster than the Black Water Arrow in Houyi's hand.

In the war between the Lich and the Wizard, he has always been the nemesis of birds. As long as the speed of the birds is not faster than his arrows, there is only one outcome!
call out--!
Along with a shrill sound of breaking through the air, another golden crow fell.

At this time, there were only the eldest, the second and the thirteenth golden crows left in the sky.

call out--!
Another life-threatening whistling sound was heard. The boss knew that they had no ability to resist this arrow and would die if hit.

The ten Golden Crows cannot all die here, the Golden Crow bloodline must be preserved.

"go!"

The eldest brother pushed the second and tenth brothers hard, and was eventually pierced through the heart by the Xuanshui Arrow and fell from the sky.

Before he died, he burned his soul and exploded with a loud bang, pushing the second and tenth brothers further away.

call out--!
Hou Yi bent his bow and drew his arrow again, aiming at Lao Shi, who was slightly behind in speed. This made his feathers explode instantly and he felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

But at this moment, Lao Qi's body paused slightly, and a look of regret and sadness appeared on his face.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

He resolutely turned around and came behind Lao Shi, and exploded with a "boom". The powerful explosion caused the Xuanshui Arrow to deviate from its original trajectory and shot out by brushing Lao Shi's neck, while also pushing Lao Shi into the sky over the East China Sea.

"It's quite bloody!"

Houyi nodded, showing some appreciation, but now the two sides are in a hostile relationship, and he must avenge Kuafu!

He drew his bow and arrow again, aiming at Lao Shi.

call out--!
The tenth black water arrow flew out and landed behind the tenth one.

clang--!
At this critical moment, a bell sound resounding through heaven and earth rang out. The Donghuang Bell broke through the void and came to the East China Sea, protecting Lao Shi inside and shattering Houyi's Xuanshui Arrow.

Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi and Xihe appeared beside the Tenth Elder.

He had the highest level of cultivation and arrived first.

"Father, my brothers and the others are all dead!"

Seeing Di Jun and the other two rushing over, Little Jinwu finally had an outlet for his fear, grievance and other negative emotions, and couldn't help crying. Di Jun's expression was uglier than ever before. It was difficult for an innate divine being to reproduce offspring. In the next tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, it would be difficult for him to give birth to an heir.

What's more, all ten of them were his bloodline, and now nine of them had died tragically. How could he not be angry?
Donghuang Taiyi's expression was equally ugly, and Xihe had already taken action.

"Hou Yi, I want you to pay with your life!"

As she spoke, Xihe's magical power surged, and a clock appeared behind her, and everything around her paused.

Houyi suddenly became unable to move and could only watch as a ray of moonlight fell towards him.

When his life was at stake, the light around Houyi suddenly dimmed, Dijiang arrived in time with the three ancestor witches, and Zhu Jiuyin took action to break the stagnation of time.

"Humph! Does the Heavenly Court want to go to war with my Wu Clan?"

Di Jun's face was gloomy. He wished he could order a war right now, but he was not only a father, but also the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of the demon clan.

The Tuwu Sword has not been refined yet. If we start a war now, all the previous preparations will be in vain.

At the same time, he knew that the ten Golden Crows were implicated by them and affected by the calamity energy.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand. Even if the ten golden crows were affected by the calamity and lost their minds, why did the great wizard Kuafu die like that?

There must be a reason for this...

He looked up at the sky, and finally suppressed his heartache. Under the puzzled gazes of Xihe and Donghuang Taiyi, he left with Little Golden Crow.

……

heaven.

"You mean, when you left the Fusang tree and came to Guixu, it suddenly rained heavily, and even the sun's true fire couldn't evaporate it?"

"Yes, Father. At that time, I thought it was Saint Huanglong who was driving us away, but now that I think about it, I feel that the saint seems to have other deeper intentions."

Di Jun frowned slightly. Could it be that Huang Long’s shadow was behind this?
"what?"

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi on the side seemed to have discovered something. He reached out and a ray of light flew out from Lao Shi's soul.

Donghuang Taiyi and the other three were all quasi-saints. After seeing this bit of spiritual light, they had some guesses in their minds.

Huang Long was indeed behind this incident, but he was not the one who caused the death of the nine Golden Crows, but...

"Let's go! Let's go visit Saint Huanglong!"

A look of joy appeared on Di Jun's face. He brought Di Jun, Xihe, Donghuang Taiyi and Lao Shi to the East China Sea and appeared above Guixu.

"Sage Huanglong, Emperor Jun of Heaven is here to visit, and I beg you to show up and meet me."

Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Huang Long smiled slightly and put down the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella. He was not surprised by Di Jun's visit. After all, he left a glimmer of hope for the nine dead golden crows.

From the beginning to the end, Huang Long had no intention of just being a spectator.

When Huang Long was still weak, he received help from Donghuang Taiyi. When Bai Mi encountered threats while traveling in the prehistoric world, Donghuang Taiyi also helped him. He must repay these two favors.

Moreover, the ten golden crows are the sons of Xihe, which means they are the nephews of Huanglong.

It was neither moral nor reasonable for him to just stand there and watch.

If the calamity energy could be eliminated, the ten Golden Crows would have suffered this calamity. After they flew to Guixu, Huang Long could have stopped them.

But the results now are not much different.

Now that Di Jun took the initiative to ask for a meeting, Huang Long would naturally not turn him away. He took a step forward and appeared outside Guixu.

"The Lord of Heaven, Di Jun, has met the Yellow Dragon Saint!"

Looking at the young Taoist in front of him, Di Jun bowed and saluted with an attitude unprecedentedly respectful. Donghuang Taiyi and Xihe did the same.

They did not feel the slightest bit reluctant to do this ceremony; they did it willingly.

"Come in with me."

Looking at Di Jun, Xihe and Donghuang Taiyi bending over for their children and relatives, Huang Long sighed suddenly.

Whether it is Di Jun, Xihe or Donghuang Taiyi, they have always been high and mighty, with natural arrogance and self-esteem.

Even when facing a saint, they just bowed and saluted. In the whole world, only Hongjun Daozu had ever made them bow.

But now, they showed her such a great gift, which made Huang Long feel a little surprised.

……

"Thank you for your help, Saint. I wonder what happened to my son and the others?"

"Don't worry."

Huang Long smiled and waved his hand, not denying the rescue of the nine golden crows.

Then he picked up the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella and waved it gently, and nine residual souls appeared in the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

However, these souls have confused eyes, and are entangled with karma and calamity, and they do not seem to have any spirituality.

Without waiting for Xihe to speak, Huang Long sighed and said:
"I think you can see that they are suffering for you. This is the trend of heaven and earth. Even I can't stop it. They deserve such a disaster."

"We know about this, but what is my son's current condition?"

Xihe looked at the miserable appearance of her nine sons and tears flowed from her eyes.

If one loses intelligence, even if one is able to preserve a remnant soul, it is no different from being dead.

After she learned that Huang Long had helped her, a glimmer of hope just arose in her heart, but then she saw this scene, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

"Don't worry. Since I have already taken action, there will naturally be no such mistakes."

Huang Long smiled and waved his hands. As a genuine saint, under his attention, even with Hongjun's intervention, it would be difficult to snatch the soul from his hands.

The reason why he did not clear away the karma and calamity power from the souls of the nine Golden Crows after taking away their souls was not because he could not do it, but because he had not done so for the time being.

He needed to use these nine golden crows and Kuafu's soul to do some experiments.

After all, the death of the nine Golden Crows was just the fuse of the war between the Lich and the Wizard, and more powerful people will die next.

He couldn't stop the war between the wizards and the liches, all he could do was to save as many people as possible.

At least Xihe and Donghuang Taiyi must be saved. One of them is Changxi's sister, and the other is indebted to Huanglong. Both of them must be saved. Only Dijun...

That's difficult, after all, he is the master of heaven and earth and the protagonist of this catastrophe.

"You don't have to worry about these nine little guys. I promise they will be fine."

Huang Long did not state his purpose clearly. Di Jun and the other two looked at each other, but ultimately suppressed their worry and curiosity and did not ask any more questions.

In the end, Huanglong asked Di Jun for the top-grade innate spiritual root Fusang wood.

In response, Di Jun hesitated for only a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't know Huang Long's purpose in wanting the Fusang wood, in his opinion, Huang Long did this for the remaining soul of the Golden Crow.

"Don't worry, Saint. I will send the things to you as soon as possible after I return."

Di Jun bowed and did not stay here for long. He left with Donghuang Taiyi and others.

He knew the relationship between Huang Long and the Wu clan. If he continued to stay here, it would only put Huang Long in a dilemma.
