Chapter 145 Dissatisfaction
The witch was also exhausted, but she still worked with Ji Zhuang and Jiao Jue to move the nine great witch corpse puppets one by one into the mine before leaving.
Ji Rong slept for nine days, and when she woke up, she found herself soaking in a stinking pond.
She scrambled ashore, crying and flapping her wings, screaming, "I stink! I stink so badly! Who came up with this idea to leave me here?!"
Hearing the sound, Jiao Jue did not approach. He squinted and smiled, "You are a tree. A tree will only grow better and better in a stagnant pool rich in spiritual energy."
Ji Rong was furious. He flapped his wings and flew towards Jiao Jue, but Jiao Jue quickly grabbed a ring and tied his feet, leaving him hanging on the ground. He said, "You were the one who was supposed to temper the bloodline of the Lich lineage. How come you're complaining about it now?"
Ji Rong, with her eyes closed, howled, "Big brother, you are narrow-minded, petty, and unkind to me; you took advantage of my unconsciousness to seek revenge on me."
Jiao Jue was in a good mood. He squinted and smiled, "Even if what you say is true, what can you do to me?"
As he spoke, he poured spirit crystal ore next to Ji Rong, squinted and laughed loudly, "You said last time that you wanted me to bury you with spirit crystals, and today I will grant your wish."
Jiao Jue surrounded Ji Rong three times with spirit crystal ore, and then piled the remaining spirit crystal ore on her bird body, leaving only a little bit of Ji Rong's head exposed, and said: "Absorb it well, I won't bury your head, lest you stink to death by yourself."
Ji Rong wanted to cry but had no tears.
Although she was surrounded by abundant spiritual energy, it really stank! It stank so badly she felt like fainting!
However, the roots craved spiritual energy, and they stretched out from the feathers, greedily clinging to the ore to absorb it, making Ji Rong's mind extremely clear.
Six days passed, and just as Ji Rong finally got used to the strange smell on her body, Ji Zhuang came again carrying the witch doctor. They had come to deliver a message.
Canghe Jun Yinpan and the Black Tiger Demon Emperor Shan Zuo, who came last time, actually came over with generous gifts, saying they wanted to visit Senior Jinlong of the Witchcraft Department.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue made a hand seal and chanted an incantation to remove the rings binding Ji Rong, saying, "We haven't even gone to find her yet, but she's come to us on her own. Let's go."
Ji Rong flapped his wings and ran out from the ore debris, nodding happily and saying, "Big brother, do you still remember what I said?"
"You can rest assured, I won't forget."
They flew out of Tuifeng Island; Jiaojue and Ji Zhuang sped towards Huofeng Island, while Ji Rong plunged headlong into the spirit pool of Wangfeng Island.
She took a bath on her own initiative, rolling around in the water like a goose, and then combed her feathers, finally getting rid of the stench and dust on her body.

When Jiaojue arrived at Huofeng Island, Wuyue and Wuyue were entertaining Yinpan and Shanzuo in the council hall where a simple banquet had been set up.
When Yinpan saw Jiaojue arrive, she quickly stood up, clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Senior."
Jiao Jue squinted and asked, "What do you want?"
Yinpan respectfully said, "The Demon King Youqiong heard of your noble character and sent several messages, asking the Demon King of Shanzuo to invite you. I happened to be there, so I came along."
A poor demon king asked us to inquire with our seniors whether they would be interested in becoming the self-governing ruler of Chizhou.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue grinned, narrowed his eyes, and forced a fake smile, saying, "Thank you for your kindness. I once told the Divine Lord that I have no such intention now."
Shan Zuo had anticipated this outcome. He clasped his hands and said, "If Fellow Daoist Jue changes his mind, please let us know at any time, and we will come to welcome you."
"You may take any land under the jurisdiction of the Divine Lord Canglan." After saying this, he prepared to take his leave.
Jiaojue said, "Yinpan, we are of the same clan, and we hit it off immediately. Since you're here today, why don't you stay and talk before you leave?"
Yinpan was overjoyed and said to Shanzuo, "Shanzuo Demon Emperor, you go first. It's rare that you think highly of me, so I'd like to stay a little longer."
Shan Wu knew the situation of the Silver Plate. The Silver Plate was now too weak to withstand even the divine decree of the Divine Lord. Otherwise, the Divine Lord Canglan would not have taken the risk of separating the undecreed Canghe River vein directly from the divine seal to use for the Silver Plate to suppress the dragon bones.
He bowed to Jiao Jue and said, "Brother Dao, I shall take my leave now."
Once Shan Wuyi was gone, Yinpan stood beside Jiaojue like a maid. Jiaojue gave Ji Zhuang and Xuanwu a wink, and the two of them left together with Wuyue and Wuyue.
Ji Rong watched Wu Yue and the others leave from afar in the tree. Knowing that it would soon be her turn to go on stage, she quickly spread her wings and flew towards the council hall.
As soon as Ji Zhuang and his party left, Jiao Jue transformed into a celestial being, slammed the door shut, and said to the silver plate, "You actually came looking for me; it seems our fate is quite predestined."
I have a way to grant your wish and free you from the agony of torn flesh and churning meridians; however, you will be confined to the realm of sainthood. Are you willing?
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately opened the door, flapped his wings and rushed over, anxiously saying, "Brother, you mustn't! This is an act that disgraces our ancestors! You can't do it! You can't do it!"
Upon hearing this, Yinpan was greatly shocked. She immediately transformed into her celestial form and prostrated herself before Jiaojue, saying, "Senior, I will remember your kindness in saving me! In the future, if you have any requests, as long as they do not violate the will of the Canglan Divine Lord, I will obey."
Ji Rong spread one wing and pointed at the silver plate with the other, cursing, "Don't even think about it! My elder brother is a dragon and can't make decisions for us!"
Jiaojue lowered its eyes, loosely grasped Ji Rong's wings with one claw, and pinched Ji Rong's beak with the other, and said in a mournful voice: "Ji Rong, the dragon clan is declining day by day and its integrity is long gone; although I have only known Canghe Jun for a short time, I feel that she has the legacy of my ancestors. I really pity her for her unfulfilled ambitions and her impending death."
He looked at the silver plate and said, "Silver Plate, although I am willing to help you, that is the remains of my ancestor Wu Hua, my ancestor. If I just give it to you like this, I really can't explain it to the elders and children of the Wu tribe."
Yinpan immediately bowed again and said, "Please teach me, senior."
At this moment, Ji Rong transformed into a celestial being, broke free from Jiao Jue's claws, pointed at Jiao Jue with her finger, and shouted, "Brother, you and I are both guardians of our clan, how can you make such a disgraceful decision to our ancestors? Those are your dear ancestors!"
"Bang!" The imperial aura of the horn jade instantly pressed down on Ji Rong, making Ji Rong's legs go weak. Fortunately, Ji Rong had wood supporting her body, so she did not fall to the ground.
But Ji Rong refused to back down. She transformed back into her bird form, her voice trembling, and shouted, "You have disgraced our ancestors! I refuse to accept this!"
Seeing Ji Rong's beautiful plumage and her majestic presence that allowed her to withstand the emperor's oppressive aura, Yin Pan couldn't help but marvel at the profound foundation of the Wu tribe. Not only had they provided a real dragon, but even this bird was extraordinary.
Just as she was about to say something, Jiao Jue withdrew his oppressive aura and said, "Ji Rong, how about this? If the silver plate can resolve the crisis of my Witch Clan, then my actions will not be considered a disgrace to our ancestors. Do you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong said, "It would be best if that were the case, otherwise you will never be able to obtain the body of the Witch Flower Ancestor. Don't think that just because your cultivation is ten feet higher than mine, you can force me to submit. If you push me too far, I will hold the array token and self-destruct in the array to prevent the ancestor from being harmed by you, the unfilial grandson of the dragon."
"I see.
"Ji Rong, you go back first. I have a few more words to say to Lord Canghe. If you keep eavesdropping..." Jiao Jue suddenly flashed a claw and said, "I won't kill you, but you can forget about your wings."
