Honghuang: Oh no, the witch clan has produced an idea king! Chapter 134

There’s a saying that goes:

When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and you want to hit it!

Taiyi clearly came to the Wu Clan with such a mindset; he was here to find evidence, and invisible overthinking is the most fatal.

During the subsequent greetings among the group,

Taiyi didn’t say a word, maintaining a faint smile, occasionally looking at the Queen Mother of the West in front of him, and then at Wutian and the Ancestral Witches…

This made the group feel incredibly strange!

But the more peculiar the expressions of the Queen Mother of the West and Wutian, the more Taiyi deepened his judgment in his heart, constantly pondering the details.

Finally,

The Queen Mother of the West couldn’t sit still any longer!

Her purpose had already been achieved; Wutian had even promised in front of Taiyi that the Wu Clan would protect her. Coupled with Taiyi’s strange gaze and Nuwa’s roundabout conversation that never got to the point, how could she not know that it was time for her to leave?

She immediately stood up and cupped her hands towards everyone:

“Fellow Daoists!”

“I just remembered that I have matters at my Western Kunlun dojo, so I shall take my leave first. We shall gather again another day to discuss the Dao; how delightful that would be…”

Nuwa wished the Queen Mother of the West would leave quickly.

So she could talk to Wutian about the opportunities. Her spirits immediately lifted, and she nodded to the Queen Mother of the West, chuckling:

“No need to be polite, fellow Daoist!”

“Please feel free to depart…”

Meanwhile, Taiyi chuckled inwardly again. Finding such an absurd excuse showed that she was truly uneasy.

Why uneasy?

Wasn’t it because she was afraid of being seen through?

With a thought, Taiyi immediately smiled and said:

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to worry. Although the previous rumors were absurd, they also served as a reminder to my Demon Clan. If not for that… we wouldn’t have known that so many people were coveting us in the dark!”

“Speaking of which, I should even thank you…”

“Fellow Daoist has always been carefree and completely different from the Eastern King. We have all seen this. Furthermore, with the Ancestral Witches vouching for you, the Demon Clan will certainly not harm Western Kunlun in the slightest!”

“Fellow Daoist, rest assured!”

These words left the Queen Mother of the West momentarily stunned. She vaguely thanked Taiyi, just as Wutian also stood up and said with a chuckle:

“I’ll see off the Golden Mother!”

Houtu pondered for a moment and also offered to see off the Queen Mother of the West, immediately rising from her seat.

Then the three walked out side by side.

Taiyi looked at their retreating figures, smiled faintly, and then said nothing more…

And without Wutian.

The atmosphere in the Houtu Divine Palace suddenly became strange, falling into a silence. Xuanming was not good with words, and Nuwa had come for Wutian!

So, there was nothing to say, was there?

In desperation,

Fuxi quickly spoke, talking about interesting things that had recently happened in the Great Wilderness, breaking the strange silence…

…

Outside the Houtu Divine Palace.

Wutian and Houtu accompanied the Queen Mother of the West high into the sky. Auspicious clouds enveloped them, and mystic light shimmered, supporting the two. It was then that Wutian said with a chuckle:

“How about it?”

“Did our Wu Clan keep their word?”

“We said we’d protect you, and we did… Now Taiyi has also directly stated his position. You should be completely at ease now, right?”

The Queen Mother of the West nodded silently.

Looking at Wutian in front of her, a hint of guilt arose in her heart. When she was worried in Western Kunlun, she had cursed Wutian quite a few times…

Her gaze immediately changed.

She wanted to say something…

But in the end, she only said:

“Thank you!”

Then she bowed to Houtu:

“I’ve disturbed Ancestral Witch these past few days. I hope Ancestral Witch won’t mind…”

Houtu responded with a smile.

Then the Queen Mother of the West departed, fleeing in the direction of Western Kunlun, while Wutian and Houtu slowly descended from the clouds.

During this time,

Houtu’s gaze was incredibly strange, constantly scrutinizing Wutian, making Wutian quite uncomfortable. He said helplessly:

“Sister Houtu…”

“Just say what you want to say directly. Why are you looking at me like that? It’s making me quite uncomfortable!”

Houtu paused slightly.

Then she transmitted her voice to Wutian with divine sense:

“Wutian… isn’t it a bit bad for you to trick the Queen Mother of the West like this?”

Wutian was startled.

He turned his head curiously to look at Houtu’s eyes, then also replied with divine sense:

“Sister Houtu, what’s wrong with you? Before, I thought you really disliked the Queen Mother of the West, didn’t you? Why are you worrying about her now?”

“Besides…”

“How did I trick her?”

Houtu sighed softly.

She really didn’t like the Queen Mother of the West, constantly running back and forth to the Houtu Tribe, with such an expression and demeanor, as if she didn’t even put her in her eyes!

But…

When the Queen Mother of the West fell into the hole, Houtu couldn’t help but soften her heart, then slowly said:

“The Queen Mother of the West isn’t bad, after all…”

“After the Tribulation of the Three Clans, the Phoenix Clan carried such karma and sin, yet she was willing to take in the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline and protect the Xuanbird. She’s also a loyal one!”

After her,

Houtu gave Wutian a fierce glare, saying somewhat speechlessly:

“And you say you didn’t trick her!”

“I’m afraid Taiyi has already concluded that the matter of the Queen Mother of the West and the Eastern King taking over the Heavenly Court and replacing Dijun in the future was told to our Wu Clan by her!”

“Perhaps…”

“Taiyi already believes that that person informed us!”

As she spoke, her gaze flickered upwards.

The implication was clear…

Wutian chuckled, then reached out and pushed Houtu’s back, urging her to walk into the divine palace.

“Well, I didn’t say anything either!”

“Besides… even if Taiyi misunderstood, so what? Didn’t our Wu Clan already guarantee her safety? You don’t need to feel sorry for her anymore…”

…

On the other side.

After leaving the Houtu Tribe, the Queen Mother of the West’s mood also calmed down. She traveled through the void while recalling the previous events!

Suddenly, she stopped.

The Queen Mother of the West stood in the void.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she muttered to herself:

“Huh…”

“Why did Taiyi thank me?”

Then the Queen Mother of the West suddenly realized something, her eyes widened sharply, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the Houtu Tribe, almost cursing out loud!

She had been a little distracted just now.

Now she had come to her senses.

How could she not understand that she had been tricked by Wutian again? Taiyi must now think that she was the source of the previous rumors…

“That scoundrel…”

The Queen Mother of the West could no longer hold back.

She cursed in a low voice:

“They all say that although the Wu Clan’s temperament is violent and impatient, they are not lacking in straightforwardness and honesty!”

“Where are they straightforward? Where are they honest?”

“I don’t know what kind of dirt Pangu Great God’s essence blood was contaminated with, to produce this Wutian… He infuriates me!”

The Queen Mother of the West felt more and more wronged the more she thought about it.

First, he tricked me out of my Innate Ren Water Peach, then he sowed discord between me and the Eastern King, and now he even schemes against me, using me as a pawn…

And I even thought he was good!

Immediately, the Queen Mother of the West wanted to turn back and confront Wutian and Taiyi, to expose Wutian’s schemes in front of everyone.

But before she had walked two steps,

The Queen Mother of the West stopped again!

“Alas…”
