Chapter 1638 - 600: Four Taoist Gods (Part 3)

"Witch God, I’m tricking him."

Zhou Xuan’s heart spirit also returned to the Secret Realm, and he said to the Witch God, "There’s no real evidence, I only have real acting skills."

"No matter how good your acting is, it won’t disprove that Xigu."

"Don’t worry, he’ll confess himself."

In the Secret Realm, Zhou Xuan was confident and said, "All you need to do is gradually release the Heavenly Venerate aura, pretending to be increasingly furious, and his psychological defenses will crumble on their own."

"Is it that simple?"

The Witch God asked.

"It’s just that simple, but, Witch God, your aura must layer gradually, transitions should be natural, and don’t let Xigu notice anything amiss."

Zhou Xuan instructed the Witch God on the key points of "acting"...

...

Ever since that gust of blood wind entered Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm, the entire situation on Lotus Mountain became unusual.

At first, the mountain wind howled, just a bit more biting than usual,

but gradually,

blood seeped from the earth of Lotus Mountain, and the nearby wells and rivers turned completely red,

following that,

there were waves of frenzied chanting of witchcraft spells echoing throughout the mountain,

the sounds extremely sinister and eerie,

as if in that instant, hundreds, if not thousands, of obscene shrines had been erected on the mountain,

with countless Blood Sacrifice witches showering Lotus Mountain with blood, attempting to perform a ceremony capable of slaughtering a Heavenly God.

This was a precursor to the Witch God’s intervention,

as familiar as could be to West Valley True Monarch.

The psychological pressure on him, compounded with these abnormal signs, continued to accumulate,

finally,

West Valley True Monarch couldn’t hold out anymore and shouted toward Zhou Xuan’s direction, "Lord Witch, three hundred years ago, I, Xigu, made some small mistakes,

it was the Buddha Country people who told me to exterminate Hidden Dragon Mountain,

but since that time,

I have no longer associated with the Buddha Country people; please, Witch God, discern carefully."

The chanting within Lotus Mountain intensified, and the Witch God’s wrath was on the brink of eruption,

West Valley True Monarch continued trying to persuade the Witch God, "Lord Witch, the Buddha Country is about to invade, the strength of the Buddha Country people is formidable, if you punish me for that minor matter from three hundred years ago by scattering my Dao,

I’m afraid Jing Country would lose a Heavenly God level before the battle even starts, a loss outweighing the gain! A loss outweighing the gain!

I am now only loyal to Jing Country, absolutely loyal, I implore you to give me a chance to make amends for that small mistake of the past."

Even now, West Valley True Monarch did not consider the killing of several thousand disciples of Hidden Dragon Mountain a major issue.

Just a few thousand lives,

when that Ancient Buddha once devoured ninety thousand people in his madness over a few days, what are a mere few thousand lives counted as?

As West Valley True Monarch continued pleading,

finally, the mountain winds ceased,

the sounds of spell chanting also disappeared without a trace,

it seemed the Witch God’s anger had completely subsided,

a gust of blood wind flew out from Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm,

and the Witch God’s voice rang out again.

"West Valley True Monarch, I never would have thought, the Young Master was indeed correct..."

"Lord Witch, back then, it was merely a momentary lapse, but the damage caused isn’t great..."

West Valley True Monarch was still pleading for mercy,

when the Witch God continued, "The Young Master said that as long as I kept getting angry, you would confess everything you’ve ever done."

"..." West Valley True Monarch.

West Valley True Monarch immediately realized that this was all Zhou Xuan’s trap.

He heard Zhou Xuan coldly say, "Xigu, the Mother of Hundred Demons in my Secret Realm has never truly awakened, and she never divulged anything to the Witch God,

however, since you have confessed yourself, whether the Mother of Hundred Demons can reveal any secrets is no longer important."

"You tricked me!"

West Valley True Monarch glanced venomously at Zhou Xuan, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

And at this moment,

the Heavenly Dome above opened the gateway to the Space-Time Realm, and three voices spread out.

"Lord Witch, calm your anger, my junior brother has indeed erred in the past, now, he has repented."

"Just a few thousand Taoist disciples, it’s no major issue."

"Divine grace protects the world, with a focus on killing, it’s sometimes inevitable to mistakenly kill a few thousand people; please, Lord Witch, do not scatter West Valley junior brother’s Dao."

These three voices sounded extremely calm, but the content of their words made Zhou Xuan feel—what true hypocrisy really is.

Without needing to think, he knew who those three were—Beitai Fengshen, East Palace Master, Southern Emperor.

These three, along with West Valley True Monarch, were known as the Four Divine Monarchs of the Taoist school.

Now, with West Valley in trouble, these three Heavenly God level figures came to his rescue...
