Gate of Life and Death

here, paired with the backdrop of the bleak autumn wind, the atmosphere instantly came alive.I've also heard the senior sisters gossiping, Mrs. Mu comes from a distinguished family, not only with nobl...Bracelet, seal.

One is a key, the other is a "certificate" to enter the tomb.

Including the female gu, I feel that these things left behind by the witch ancestors all have one purpose: an escape route.

Unfortunately, the information and connections within it have been lost, and Mu Wanchen doesn't know what will happen behind the tomb.

At this moment, the majority of the Witch Clan's people, including those from the Sorceress lineage, are still taking refuge in Miao Wang City. The remaining clans affiliated with them through blood or marriage are filled with fear and anxiety within their hearts.

The forest, charred black by the inferno, had completely succumbed. A black glyph spread across the soil and withered branches, resembling a pool of ink.

The black mist seeped from the formation, but the eye of the array was nowhere to be seen. Even the Master felt a headache coming on. If the eye were present, they could perhaps find a way to break the formation, but with the core missing, all they could do was try to contain the black mist from spreading further into the forest.

A beam of light descended from the sky, and Ji Dou Xingjun appeared here. He was carrying his sword and shouted to Shizun: “What a big deal Just trap them with the Six Harmonies Array, wouldn't that be enough What are you dawdling for Take advantage of this moment when the energy is still potent enough to suppress these demonic beings' auras, hurry up and act – stop them first and then we'll talk.”

"Easy for you to say, this formation spreads so widely, death energy fills every direction. Can you single-handedly set up a counter-formation" Master furrowed his brows.

"Aren't there still you and your disciple The three of us, each guarding one side, should be able to finish it quickly, right What kind of formation is this that leaves both you and me helpless I know what you're worried about! You're afraid of provoking that old monster, afraid that the old monster will break through the barrier and shake the boundaries of the divine and demonic realms—" Ji Du Xingjun roared.

"Be silent." The Master rebuked coldly.

I didn't dare to breathe heavily, nor did I dare to approach.

Although the "status" of Lord Jiedu Xingjun seemed not as high as that of the Master, his personality was flamboyant and arrogant, and he did not take "rank" seriously.

He was the Devourer God, perhaps inherently a little rebellious. Even in our previous conversations, I sensed that he seemed to relish chaos and held a certain fondness for the legendary, power-hungry leaders of the ancient sorcerers' clan.

But he remained a deity, familiar with the rules and regulations of the nine heavens, tacitly acknowledging and upholding them.

Behavior compliance and maintenance doesn't mean he can't say what he thinks—he's always been unrestrained and outspoken. He knows it in his heart, but he's unwilling to speak up. He can't, nor does he want to.

Then I heard a truly incredible "divine quarrel".

“Immortals, demons, and humans and ghosts, the three realms intersect. That old monster fell into the chaotic demon realm thousands of years ago, his cultivation is extraordinary. He almost broke out last time and was sealed by your witch king disciple. Aren't you also nervous and ready to make a move at any time” Jidu Xingjun sneered.

He continued, "Those old fellows in the Nine Heavens should be on guard too, right For millennia, the realms of gods and demons have been completely separate. They are heavily guarded, fearing that the boundary might collapse. This forces demons to invade the upper realm; they can only first break through into the human world and then from there breach into the celestial realm... Those old fellows are very shrewd! Humans and ghosts form a barrier between the yin and yang realms, and you are another layer of protection. They remain high above, watching the chaos of demons in the mortal world, watching the underworld strive to maintain balance between yin and yang. Then they wait for an opportunity to make a compassionate move to save the world. To have them intervene directly is even harder than ascending to heaven! Nobody wants to get entangled in right and wrong, nobody wants to interfere with karma, bah!"

“Ji Dou, when will your vision be worthy of your celestial position” The Master coldly glanced at Ji Dou Xingjun.

Ji Dou Xingjun raised his eyebrows and carried his sword, looking defiant as if to say, "I refuse to improve, what are you going to do about it"

Master looked at the black mist before him, his voice calm and distant: "...There are calamities in the mortal world, and there are still immortals to protect them. If the immortals themselves face calamity, who will protect them"

"So they're all afraid of losing their cultivation and getting involved in karmic retribution, aren't they" Ji Dou Xingjun scoffed.

Master's lips curled into a slight smile, and he sneered, "Who said that I am right here, aren't I"

Ji Dou Xingjun was taken aback for a moment, then said angrily: "What are you hesitating about Quickly form an array to seal the entire magic formation. Make it as big as possible! A hundred miles, two hundred miles, five hundred miles, just relying on you, me, and Mu Wanchen, could we not do it!"

Master squinted slightly, his gaze deep and meaningful as he addressed Jie Du Xingjun: “Jie Du, when did you become so concerned with human affairs”

"Bah! What does a mundane human's affairs concern this celestial being!"

"Oh So you're particularly interested in the affairs of the witch clan"

"I—"

Jì dōu xīngjūn suddenly fell silent, I covered my mouth and quietly stared at him.

He couldn't take his master's words, and suddenly turned his anger on me. "Little girl, what are you still dawdling about! Quickly bring your man over! As a princess of our clan, are you so careless and irresponsible!"

Oh, I got caught in the crossfire

"She is pregnant and shouldn't be traveling. You should go find Mu Wanchen."

Ji Dou Xingjun got a step down, he felt a little embarrassed to have his mind seen through, and wished to quickly get away from his master far away. He got a step down and immediately "hmph"ed, turning around and transforming into a streak of light and flying away.

I whispered to my master, "That... is it alright for me to hear these things"

"It's fine." The master said calmly.

"Thank you for your hard work on the matter of the Wu clan..." I bowed to my master.

He smiled faintly: "As a teacher for a day, this master must do something for him, not to mention that I'm also involved in this matter... You—"

Master's gaze suddenly swept over.

I dared not meet his gaze, after all, he was a senior. I lowered my head and listened patiently to his instructions.

Master's voice paused slightly: "Pregnancy is a major life event, and the constant to-and-fro can deplete one's vital energy. You should focus on nourishing your body."

"Yes, yes..." I nodded in agreement. I admit, I haven't been doing well on this front and ended up getting scolded by the elders.

"... Mu Wanchen, as the Great Shaman King, his bloodline is precious. As his wife, you too bear the responsibility and cannot be careless."

"Well, I understand." I mumbled, my head drooping in embarrassment.

Mu Wanchen arrived in time and heard the master's teachings, chuckling, "Master, these teachings are enough for me. Little Luoer is also working hard for the Wu clan."

"You know what you've done. There's no need for me to say more." The master turned his back towards the darkness, a long sword appearing in his hand.

Perhaps the Emperor had put a great deal of effort into being his teacher, but he was not one for lengthy explanations. Hence, his tone was light and casual.

Mu Wanchen also understood. He bowed to the Celestial Emperor, saying, "Thank you, Master, for your concern. If the child is born, I hope Master will bestow a name upon him."

The Lord Emperor was slightly taken aback and chuckled, "Alright then, it's good to offer the child some protection."

He pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Leaving the spirit to cultivate and forgetting to return, as years pass, who will bloom for me... Let's choose a name from among these once the child is born."' of this circle.”My brother smirked and said, "This kind of resource integration takes both vision and capability. Even if an ordinary person thought of it, they wouldn't have the ability to do it. A...
