Chapter 2626 - 2624: Witch Tribe Rivalry

Chapter 2626: Chapter 2624: Witch Tribe Rivalry

The High Priest knelt on the stage, and the members of the Imperial Family followed suit, all kneeling on the ground.

The Imperial City received the news, and for a moment, a wave of kneeling spread across the area, with everyone devoutly prostrating on the ground.

Lin Yingying looked outside and grinned at Long Fei, "Did the High Priest really speak to you?"

Long Fei nodded, "This is the Witch Tribe’s method of communication, mastered only by the High Priest. In the Primordial Era, the Witch-Demon ruled the world. Among the myriad tribes, the High Priest communicated with the Witch God like this."

Among the Imperial Family members below, some were murmuring to themselves, not believing that the Witch God had truly descended.

They were eager to try, wanting to go up and see for themselves.

At this moment, the great doors suddenly opened.

The Mystic Darkness Witch God appeared in the sky above the hall beside Long Fei, like a golden sun manifesting in the night.

This Witch God’s Blood Body was akin to a Heavenly God, with a golden glow behind, manifesting its Truth Body.

Everyone below was stunned in place, feeling their hearts almost leaping from their bodies.

Led by the High Priest, a group knelt on the ground, bowing and worshiping in unison, "We descendants pay homage to the Mystic Darkness Witch God!"

The Mystic Darkness Witch God sat poised on the hall, its Dharma Laksana solemn and majestic, speaking calmly, "The calamity has descended, and our Witch Tribe is in grave danger. We, the spirits of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, shall return to the Human Realm. If you encounter troubles, you may chant my true name, and I shall surely protect the Mystic Darkness Clan completely."

An elder of the Imperial Family suddenly burst into tears.

The people below were somewhat incredulous, continuously kowtowing and bowing, "We accept the command!"

The Mystic Darkness Blood Body vanished into the sky after speaking, leaving the place with Long Fei and Lin Yingying.

The Power of Faith accumulated on the statue until now was completely absorbed by this Mystic Darkness Blood Body, transforming into a boundless mana within this Blood Body.

The people of the Imperial City were reluctant to leave.

They insisted on kneeling until dawn, only ascending to the ancestral shrine once confirming the Witch God had disappeared from the ancestral temple.

Led by the king of the Mystic Darkness Imperial Family, the clanspeople worshiped the Mystic Darkness statue again.

The whole Mystic Darkness Country was in uproar overnight.

The Witch God’s return to the Human Realm was indeed a momentous event for the Witch Tribe.

The people of the Mystic Darkness Clan gazed skyward, thinking it was the Witch God’s favor, manifesting first in their Mystic Darkness Clan.

Upon learning this, the other eleven tribes dispatched people immediately to investigate the reality.

Some doubted, some disbelieved, felt the Mystic Darkness Country was being deceptive.

At the time of the Witch-Demon array, all Twelve Ancestral Witches’ spirits dispersed.

How could they suddenly manifest now?

Some analyzed, speculating it was someone with ulterior motives causing mischief.

Their conjectures continued, and amid confusion, the ancestral temple of Empress Hou Tu manifested centrally.

That night, Empress Hou Tu, with solemn Dharma Laksana and wearing a Phoenix Coronet and Robe of Clouds, appeared above the ancestral temple.

The words spoken were identical to those of the Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming.

The Hou Tu Clan excitedly spread the news, even more thrilled than the Mystic Darkness Clan.

Their Imperial Family knelt under the ancestral temple for a day and night.

While other Witch tribes were astonished, the ancestral temples of each followed one after another in manifestation.

The Di Jiang Clan, Jumang Clan, Zhurong Clan, Ru Shou Clan, Gonggong Clan, Qiang Liang Clan, Zhu Jiuyin Clan, Tian Wuu Clan, Xi Zi Clan, Shebi Corpse Clan, all brought news of ancestral witch manifestations.

The entire Witch Tribe was in uproar, finally believing that the descent of the Witch God was no falsehood, but indeed the true manifestation of the Witch God.

Originally anxious to seek various avenues, the Witch Tribe members calmed down.

With the Witch God’s protection, there was no need to worship Buddhas or pray to immortals.

Originally fragmented and near war between tribes and clans, suddenly ceased hostilities and made peace.

This outcome displeased a power that intended to exploit chaos and gain from the disorder.

The army stationed near the Mystic Darkness Country, intending to attack, suddenly halted.

A general found the two main leaders in the military tent, knelt and reported, "Ancestors, we have just received news from other tribes. They unanimously decided, if we attack the Mystic Darkness Country again, they shall join forces against us."

A leader sitting in the tent, three zhang tall, clad in armor, with facial features on his belly.

He was the Great Witch Xing Tian, at this moment crushing a basin-sized teacup with his hand, grunting, "What ancestral witch manifestation, who is causing trouble secretly?"

A woman beside him frowned tightly, "Could it really be the ancestral witches descending to the Human Realm?"

Xing Tian shouted, "The ancestral witches are dead, spirits perished, where are the ancestral witches coming from? It’s clearly someone causing trouble, trying to deceive us Witch Tribe members for some undisclosed purpose."

He lived in an era with the ancestral witches, most familiar with the brutal scene of the Witch-Demon array.

At that time, the heavens and earth collapsed.

The primordial continent was turned to rubble, fractured in space like bubbles.

Turning into fragmented spaces, no longer seeing the vastness of the primordial world.

The kneeling general hesitated, "Ancestor, there is something I don’t know whether I should say."

"Speak!"

Xing Tian exhaled, pondering countermeasures in secret.

The general replied, "To fool the ancestors, at that time in the Netherworld, the bodies of the Witch Ancestor truly manifested among various tribes. It was also the Witch Ancestor who led us from the Netherworld to this world. We reported this to the ancestor before, but the ancestor did not believe us. This time, the Witch Ancestor really manifested again. They probably want to warn us not to kill among our own tribe anymore."

Xing Tian said nothing, merely waved to let the general withdraw.

He asked Jiufeng, "Sister Feng, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Jiufeng frowned, "A few days ago, when the ancestral temple of the Mystic Darkness Clan manifested, I indeed felt the presence of my brother."

In the vast wilderness, there is a mountain called the Arctic Cabinet.

Northward flows the sea water, there resides a god with nine heads, human face and bird body, named Jiufeng.

Jiufeng is the sister of Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming, this time attacking the Mystic Darkness Country to reclaim control over the Mystic Darkness Clan.

But now the Mystic Darkness Clan is no longer the previous Mystic Darkness Clan.

They call themselves the New Witch Tribe, not recognizing Jiufeng, Xing Tian, referring to them as the Ancient Witch Tribe.

Not only the Mystic Darkness Country, but the other eleven Witch Tribes shared the same view.

These Witch Tribe members, washed through several calamities, have mixed bloodlines.

Even the Imperial Family possess various bloodlines.

How could these interest groups submit to a suddenly emerged Ancient Witch Tribe?

Xing Tian was a bit surprised, staring at Jiufeng, "Could it be, you also believe the ancestral witches have returned?"

Jiufeng resolutely said, "Whether they are back or not, we cannot abandon our grand undertaking to unify the Witch Tribe. Back then, we didn’t want to senselessly kill among tribes, so we constantly tolerated them. Now that they want to completely turn against us, we’ll tear our faces with them. We’ll continue attacking the Mystic Darkness Country, make an example to others, whoever doesn’t submit, we’ll take action on them. If the ancestral witches truly have spirits, let them appear and speak to us!"

Xing Tian excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Feng is truly astute, I don’t believe in any ancestral witch manifestation. Since these Twelve Witch Clans do not submit to us, we’ll fight them until they do!"
