Chapter 14: The Gourd Vine Begs for Mercy!
Chapter 14: The Gourd Vine Begs for Mercy!
Bai Chen and his team fought three against one. Xuan Ming, the strongest among them, was in charge of the main attack, Hou Tu was in charge of the feint attack, and Bai Chen, who was the weakest, could only play a supporting role.
Although the innate gourd vine was a chaotic god-demon that had not completely died, it had several fatal flaws.
First, he did not choose to take human form, but instead rooted himself in Buzhou Mountain and absorbed its power.
Therefore, he cannot move and can only stay in one place.
Secondly, the innate gourd vine was traumatized when it was struck by the axe of the great god Pangu.
Although he outwardly claimed he wasn't afraid of Xuanming Houtu, he was still somewhat apprehensive inside.
Even though the innate gourd vine had some reservations, its strength was still considerable; even with Bai Chen and his companions fighting three against one, they couldn't gain the upper hand.
After all, the innate gourd vine was, at least, a chaotic god-demon that wasn't quite dead.
It would be truly abnormal if someone could be easily exploited.
Just as Bai Chen and the others were fighting the Innate Gourd Vine, the Ancestral Witches who were cultivating in the Pangu Palace suddenly opened their pupils and stopped cultivating.
The ancestral witches turned their gazes toward the secret realm where Bai Chen and his group were, clearly having sensed something.
"Elder brother, I have sensed the power of the laws emanating from my two younger sisters, Xuanming and Houtu. They should be fighting against the enemy right now."
The ancestral witch Jumang reported to the ancestral witch Dijiang.
"It must be those two, Fuxi and Nuwa!"
"These brother and sister dared to fight against Xuanming and Houtu; they cannot be allowed to live!"
The brothers Gonggong and Zhurong, one after the other, directly pinned the blame on Fuxi and Nuwa.
After all, there were only two groups of beings on Buzhou Mountain: the Ancestral Witches and Fuxi and Nuwa.
As for Bai Chen, Gonggong and Zhurong directly ruled him out as a suspect.
Because Bai Chen was too weak, it was impossible for him to fight Xuan Ming and Hou Tu.
Once Bai Chen is eliminated, only Fuxi and Nuwa remain. Otherwise, it couldn't be that the sisters Xuanming and Houtu were fighting each other, right?
"Suppress them!"
"Suppress them!"
When the brothers Gonggong and Zhurong began to speak, they immediately received a lot of support from the ancestral witches.
The ancestral witches had long disliked the brother and sister duo Fuxi and Nuwa, and they all expressed their opinions.
With a wave of his hand, the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang shattered the void with the laws of space, leading the Ancestral Witches away from the Pangu Palace.
……
Because the restrictions of the secret realm were broken by Bai Chen, Xuan Ming, and Hou Tu, the spatial order here is now no different from that of the outside world.
As space shattered, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang arrived with the other Ancestral Witches.
The ancestral witches were immediately embarrassed by the scene before them.
They originally thought their two younger sisters were fighting against Fuxi and Nuwa, but it turned out they were fighting a gourd vine.
Upon seeing the reinforcements arrive, Bai Chen quickly appealed to the ancestral witches of Di Jiang for help:
"Emperor Jiang, this innate gourd vine is a chaotic demon that the Great God Pangu did not completely kill. Now it is plotting to wreak havoc on the prehistoric world and wants to attack Xuanming Houtu."
"Hurry and kill him!"
In order to get the other Ancestral Witches to take action, Bai Chen immediately began compiling the list.
The specific crime is irrelevant; the important thing is to kill the other person.
Without hesitation, Dijiang and the other ancestral witches immediately attacked the innate gourd vine, not because they trusted Bai Chen's words.
Instead, it was Xuanming Houtu fighting against the innate gourd vine; this fact was already before them.
Whatever the truth is, it no longer matters.
The important thing is that the innate gourd vine dared to fight against Xuanming Houtu, and for that alone, the other party deserved to die.
As the innate gourd vine watched Dijiang and the other ancestral witches join the battle, it was internally cursing with a thousand "fucks!"
He felt wronged!
He didn't take the initiative; it was Bai Chen who brought Xuanming Houtu to cause trouble.
We can't just let him die without fighting back, can we?
"Xuanming, mighty!"
"Houtu, mighty warrior!"
With all twelve Ancestral Witches joining the battle, Bai Chen felt that he was no longer needed, so he withdrew from the battlefield and ate fruit on the sidelines, cheering on Xuanming Houtu.
As for cheering on the ancestral witches like Dijiang?
Sorry, Bai Chen isn't familiar with them and is too lazy to waste his breath cheering them on.
Faced with the fierce battle of the twelve ancestral witches, the innate gourd vine gradually became no match for them as time went by.
At this moment, he saw the shadow of the great god Pangu in the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and he was truly afraid.
"Fellow Daoists, let's stop fighting."
"Although I am a chaotic god and demon, I have also made contributions to the primordial world."
No matter how much the innate gourd vine cried out, the twelve ancestral witches did not stop.
The innate gourd vine was so angry that it gritted its teeth.
These stubborn bastards are just like Pangu.
During the great calamity that created the world, countless chaotic gods and demons begged for mercy from Pangu.
But Pangu was unwilling to let his group go, and insisted on giving himself an axe blow, turning himself back to his original form.
Faced with the relentless pressure from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Innate Gourd Vine was filled with utter hatred!
If I hadn't remained rooted in Buzhou Mountain and not taken on a human form, I would have run away long ago.
Knowing that there was no hope of negotiating peace with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Innate Gourd Vine turned its gaze to Bai Chen, who was watching the show from the sidelines:
"Fellow Daoist, please make them stop."
The innate gourd vine knew very well that all the trouble was caused by this fat cat, and now, if it wanted to break the deadlock, it had to find this fat cat.
"I'm not familiar with them."
Faced with the innate gourd vine's pleas for mercy, Bai Chen chose to refuse.
Just kidding, Bai Chen gave the other party a chance from the very beginning, but the other party didn't appreciate it.
Now that you can't beat them, you want to beg for mercy? It's not that easy.
"Fellow Daoist, we have no enmity with each other, there is no need to continue to be enemies."
Seeing that Bai Chen was pretending to be stupid, the innate gourd vine could only suppress its anger and earnestly advise him.
"Innate Gourd Vine, if you are willing to make a great oath to follow me, I can speak with Xuanming and Houtu."
Bai Chen felt he had been too merciful and decided to give the innate gourd vine a chance to survive.
Well, the main reason is that Bai Chen felt it would be a huge loss to kill the innate gourd vine now.
The seven gourds of the innate gourd vine have not yet borne fruit; they are still seven flowers.
These are seven top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Killing the innate gourd vine now means losing seven top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
It's also fine to kill the other party after their gourd has fully grown!
"Fellow Daoist, if I were to leave this place, I would be severing my roots and cutting off my chance to attain enlightenment!"
On the surface, the innate gourd vine was begging Bai Chen for mercy, but in its heart it was furious!
He has been rooted here for countless eons, quietly absorbing the power of Mount Buzhou through his roots, which is how he achieved his current level of cultivation.
If you leave now, you will be severing your roots and completely cutting off your chance to attain enlightenment.
Bai Chen chuckled and snapped, "I'm annoyed!"
"What does your path to enlightenment have to do with this great god!"
It's not that Bai Chen looks down on the Innate Gourd Vine, but with that guy's pathetic appearance, he's dreaming of proving the Dao!
No, the other party isn't even worthy of being called a bird.
"Fellow Daoist, if you can make them stop, how about I grant you a great opportunity?"
The innate gourd vine knew that if it didn't bleed a little today, this matter couldn't be resolved.
In desperation, he had no choice but to bleed himself to save himself.
