Fuxi plucked a blooming peach tree, gently brushed off a handful of petals, and casually scattered them as they fell to the ground. He observed the shape of the nine petals scattered around and performed divination on the spot.
Emperor Yao looked on anxiously.
"Hmm... It's a mixed bag, a near-death experience but also a close call, so it's a result that was somewhat expected."
"What...what does this mean?"
“Go then,” Fuxi said. “At this time, Yi himself should also receive the command of Heaven. After all, this battle is the home ground of medicine and the witch clan, and the human world should just be an observer.”
Emperor Yao frowned and headed back along the road to Tao Tang, still puzzled. But before he could return, a divine decree suddenly descended from the sky, startling him so much that he looked up abruptly.
[Ten suns appear simultaneously, ferocious beasts run rampant, wreaking havoc on humankind. Yi, you are commanded by the Emperor to fight against them for the sake of the world. Slay the Nine-Headed Serpent in the treacherous waters, cut the serpent in Dongting Lake, shoot down the ten suns and kill the Yayu, capture the Fengxi in the mulberry forest, and wipe out the calamities of the world.]
Tao Tang.
The bow trembled violently, trying to escape the young man's control, but the young man was stronger and held her firmly. The Heavenly Dao then descended with its pressure, completely sealing the bow's consciousness within the bow, making it unable to protest any longer.
The young man's eyes were devoid of sorrow or joy as he indifferently replied, "Da Yi obeys the command."
Tong Su's divine sense questioned, "Are you really going? You know perfectly well that this is all wrong, and he wasn't the one who made the first mistake—"
Yi calmly removed the strips of cloth wrapped around the bow and loaded the plain silk and jade arrows into the quiver: "Does it matter who makes the first mistake?"
"Important! I won't allow you to kill him, I disagree!"
He raised an eyebrow, his expression as calm as ever, so natural it was as if he were reminding her to cultivate and not to sleep in before she went out for her morning exercise, almost giving Tongsu the illusion that they had a very good relationship.
It's only almost.
“Tong Gong, you are the one who is wrong—I am a witch, you are a demon. Our exile to the mortal world was my master’s doing, and you were involved in that too, weren’t you? It’s not that I don’t know anything, but that I’m just choosing not to say anything. We are sworn enemies, and we have never had any alliance. Whether you agree or not is not important to me.”
Tongsu suddenly shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.
Yes, it was she who was indulging in wishful thinking.
Yi is still the same Yi who would indifferently say, "All I want is a bow," and it's wishful thinking for me to think I can stop him from shooting down the sun.
—But whatever, whatever.
Anyway, this wasn't her only plan.
However, everything is proceeding as originally planned.
"Fine, if you dare lay a hand on him, then don't blame me if I kill you in the future!"
He said calmly, "Just come wherever you like."
Holding a bow and carrying arrows, he headed straight for the highest peak in Tao Tang.
Heavenly Court.
The shouts of battle rang out in waves outside the Heavenly Gate, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, clad in blood-stained armor, hurriedly entered:
"Your Majesty, the young and old demons have been sent to Beiju Luzhou for refuge. The other Great Saints and Demon Saints are in position and ready to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array at any time!"
Xihe held the Star Banner in her hand, her face slightly pale: "Alright, come with me quickly, we must not let the Witch Clan breach the Southern Heavenly Gate!"
The Zhou Tian Star Array is the clan-protecting array of the Zong Yao Clan, a wondrous array that traverses the primordial world, and was comprehended by Emperor Jun from the innate spiritual treasures, the Hetu Luoshu.
It combines the power of the 365 stars in the sky, with the Sun and Moon as the core of the formation. It is incredibly profound and filled with killing intent. The only formations that can rival it are the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of the Three Pure Ones.
