Chapter 107 Donghuang Taiyi instantly…
In an instant, Donghuang Taiyi rushed behind Cang Li and raised his hand to stop him.
Cang Li dodged the arrow and fired the second one.
Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi no longer held back, blocking Cang Li and reaching out to snatch the bow.
"Cang Li! This wasn't their fault, they shouldn't have to pay with their lives!"
Cang Li dodged Donghuang Taiyi and said expressionlessly, "Is it not their fault, but the fault of those who died?"
Donghuang Taiyi paused, but quickly resumed fighting: "They were tricked out of Tang Valley. I will compensate your human race for their losses. Two of the ten little golden crows have already died. My sister-in-law will take them back. Cang Li, please let them go."
Cang Li stepped back to create distance between himself and Donghuang Taiyi, pointing to the sky and saying, "I'll give you half an hour. If they're still here after half an hour, don't blame me for taking action."
Donghuang Taiyi gave Cangli a deep look, then turned and flew towards the sky. Xihe had been gone for so long, and the little golden crows were still in the sky; something must have happened to them. He had to hurry over and check.
Cang Li stood atop the mountain, bow in hand. With two suns gone, the creatures on the ground had finally recovered somewhat, but the water had long since dried up, and even with the temperature dropping, they wouldn't last much longer.
Taiqing appeared behind Cangli and reached out to support Cangli's shoulder. Ten days had passed since they left together, and Taiqing was immediately worried about Cangli. Cangli valued his people very much, and in this situation, the human race would surely suffer heavy casualties.
Cang Li turned around, saw Tai Qing, his eyes flickered, and he reached out to nudge Tai Qing, saying:
"I'm busy right now. You'll have to wait by yourself for a while. Wait until I'm done with my work."
Taiqing shook his head: "I just saw you fighting with Donghuang Taiyi. If he comes again later, I'll help you block him. You do your own thing."
Cang Li's eyes lit up immediately, and he grinned: "Okay!"
Donghuang Taiyi has been gone for so long, yet the Golden Crow is still standing still. There must be some other problem. Cang Li took a deep breath and continued to look at the sun in the sky.
Xihe was extremely anxious; she had already lost two children and couldn't afford to lose another.
However, the formation that trapped the Golden Crow was of unknown origin, and she simply couldn't break it.
The golden crows inside the formation were also terrified, inexplicably unable to return home, and their two brothers died instantly.
After examining the situation, Donghuang Taiyi said to Xihe, "Go find your brother. I'll stay here and guard the place. Cangli promised to give me half an hour to resolve this."
Xihe nodded, not daring to delay for a moment, and quickly went to find Dijun.
Di Jun stood at the gate of the Demon Court, looking outside. Seeing the two golden crows land, he became restless. He had just taken a step when Kunpeng spoke from behind:
"Your Majesty, it is not the right time yet. We cannot abandon all our previous efforts!"
Di Jun looked at Kunpeng with annoyance: "Didn't you say it was foolproof? Who shot my son? And what magic weapon killed my son?"
Kunpeng lowered his head and replied, "It was Cangli, the great leader of the human race. She obtained a divine bow from who knows where and shot down the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince."
Di Jun: "How much more human spirit do we need? I can't wait any longer!"
Kunpeng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, not many humans have died. They stored water and hid underground, so the essence needed to forge the sword is far from enough!"
Di Jun pinched the bridge of his nose: "If this continues, all ten of my children will die."
Kunpeng said, "Your Majesty, compared to the Great Cause, you and the Empress will have many more children in the future."
Di Jun hesitated. Just then, Xi He arrived and pulled Di Jun aside, saying:
"Hurry! The children are trapped by the formation and can't return to Tang Valley!"
Di Jun did not move.
Xihe turned around and saw Dijun's expression, her face gradually darkening. The couple looked at each other in silence. Xihe asked in a low voice:
Are you going or not?
Di Jun attempted to appease Xi He:
"Wait a little longer, it's not time yet."
Xihe was going crazy: "Are you going to wait until they're all dead before you go out?! Dijun, if you don't go save them now, you can just wait to collect their corpses!"
Di Jun gripped Xi He's shoulder: "Xi He, calm down, it's not that serious..."
"Shut up! What do you know? All you know is your grand plan, all you know is to completely defeat the Witch Clan! Now your children are about to die, and you're still thinking about your grand plan, even though you're personally sending them to their deaths. Di Jun, you will die a horrible death!"
Xihe pushed Dijun away. If Dijun wouldn't go, she could ask Fuxi or Nuwa for help, since Fuxi was skilled in formations.
The gates of Nuwa Palace were tightly shut, and Xihe only received the words, "This is the will of Heaven."
Seeing that time was passing by and neither Xihe nor Dijun had returned, Donghuang Taiyi had no choice but to summon the Donghuang Bell. He couldn't just stand by and watch his nephews die.
Cang Li once again drew his bow and aimed at the sun in the sky. Half an hour was the limit; beyond that time, the human race would not be able to hold on.
Donghuang Taiyi flew over and tried to grab She Rijian.
Taiqing stopped Donghuang Taiyi: "Since you can't solve the problem, let someone who can solve it do it."
Cang Li fired arrow after arrow, and golden crows fell one by one. The scorching air over the primordial wilderness, which had been so hot it was hard to breathe, finally began to circulate.
When only one sun remained in the sky, Di Jun finally couldn't sit still any longer:
"Demon Master! Is this what you meant by 'absolutely foolproof'!?"
After saying that, he rushed outside, trying to save the golden crow.
When Lu Ya came out of Tang Valley, he saw an arrow piercing through his elder brother's chest. All nine of his older brothers and sisters were gone, leaving only him. The next second, Lu Ya felt a chill run down his spine. All he could see was that cold glint and Cang Li holding a bow and arrow aimed at him.
Cang Li squinted at Lu Luya, and finally slowly released the Sun-Shooting Bow, putting the last Sun-Shooting Arrow back into the quiver. Instantly, dark clouds filled the sky, and a heavy rain fell, extinguishing the scorching earth that had been burning for three days. The surviving creatures survived this calamity and were reborn.
The vast, desolate land was filled with the sounds of people weeping with joy.
Xihe stared blankly at the sky. After the little golden crow fell, not even its body remained.
Cang Li tossed the Sun-Shooting Bow to Tai Qing:
"Could you get this for me?"
Taiqing took the bow with some helplessness, then turned to Donghuang Taiyi, whose face was full of sorrow, and said, "You should have expected this to happen after all this trouble with the Wu tribe."
Donghuang Taiyi remained silent.
Cang Li had already flown to Xi He's side, set up a soundproof barrier with his backhand, and slowly opened his left hand, which had been clenched into a fist, in front of Xi He, revealing a primordial spirit enveloped in nine points of moonlight.
"Xihe, this is what Changxi asked me to give you."
Xihe was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the nine points of moonlight and laughed and cried at the same time. After a long while, she looked at Cangli:
"You had this planned all along?"
Cang Li calmly said, "The primordial world cannot contain ten suns; they will never grow up."
Xihe turned her head away after a while: "I won't thank you. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have died. They would have grown up to be great golden crows like their father and uncles."
Cang Li smiled indifferently: "Whatever. I killed them for my people. You hate me because I killed your son. Everyone has their own reasons, so it's hard to say who owes whom. Alright, if I were you, I would take this opportunity to go into seclusion in Tang Valley and never come out again."
Xihe remained silent, while Cangli waved her hand and flew downwards, determined to see how much the human race had lost this time.
When Di Jun arrived, he didn't even get to see the little golden crow one last time.
Xihe calmly said to Dijun, "Don't come looking for me anymore. I will take Xiaoshi to Tanggu to pray for his nine older brothers and sisters. Let's leave it at that."
Di Jun looked at Xi He with a heavy heart. Xi He flew to Lu Ya's side and took Lu Ya back to Tang Valley.
Kunpeng caught up with Dijun and said, "Your Majesty, this... we must not let all our previous efforts go to waste!"
Di Jun asked expressionlessly, "Then what do you suggest?"
Kunpeng sneered, "The human Cangli shot and killed my demon prince. This is an irreconcilable enmity."
Di Jun sneered, "Then I'll leave it to you to handle." He needed to vent his anger; after all he had put in, he had to get something in return.
Kunpeng accepted the order and left. He was determined to slaughter the entire human race and find the whereabouts of the Primordial Purple Qi.
Donghuang Taiyi gave Cangli a deep look, put away the Donghuang Bell and left. After this incident, there was no possibility between him and Cangli.
As soon as the person left, Cang Li looked around, then suddenly threw herself into Tai Qing's arms, nuzzling against him just like she had in the Spirit Mansion:
"I'm so tired~"
Shooting down the Golden Crow is no easy task. Cang Li must bear the Golden Crow's fear and resentment before its death, and also collect its primordial spirit at the moment of its death, leaving them a sliver of hope.
Taiqing patted Cangli's head:
"Yes, it's all over. You did a great job, and you're very capable. You protected the people you were supposed to protect."
Cang Li proudly looked up at Tai Qing; she was indeed very powerful!
Taiqing took Cangli, who refused to walk on his own, back to the human race. Originally, he was going to take Cangli to Kunlun Mountain, but Cangli insisted on visiting the human race.
The heavy rain had just stopped, and the parched earth was revitalized. Nini led her people out of the ground, experiencing the transition from death to rebirth.
The houses built on the ground less than half a year ago were also charred, but it doesn't matter. They still have their hands and feet, and the houses can be rebuilt. As long as they are alive, there is hope.
When Cangli and Taiqing returned, they saw Nini directing everyone to clear out the charcoal and pile it up in the yard, intending to keep it for heating in the winter. Then, some people were cutting down trees, some were digging foundations, and some were plowing the land. The division of labor was clear, and everyone was working hard to rebuild their homes.
"Great Chief! You're back!"
Nini greeted Cangli warmly. Nini had lost a lot of weight and gotten much darker, but her eyes were still bright and pink.
Cang Li nodded: "Yes, I'm back. How is everyone?"
Nini said, "Don't worry, Chief. We took cover in time and not many people died. We just don't know how the other tribes are doing."
Cang Li thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. I had them take precautions a long time ago. I'll go check it out."
As Cang Li was about to leave, he took a couple of steps and then turned back, still a little worried, and said, "Be very careful. If anything goes wrong, take your people and hide. I'll go to the other tribes and come right back."
Nini nodded: "Great Chief, don't worry."
Cang Li then turned and left, and Tai Qing naturally followed.
After leaving the tribe, Cang Li said to Tai Qing, "Daoist, you don't need to follow me. Go and do what you need to do."
Taiqing shook her head: "I'm fine, no need to worry, I'll stay with you."
He was a little worried about Cang Li's condition and didn't feel comfortable leaving Cang Li alone.
Cang Li was happy to see Tai Qing accompanying her, and she took Tai Qing's hand and headed south. She hadn't seen A Qi when Buzhou Mountain collapsed last time, and she had to go and check on the situation this time.
