A few hundred kilometers away, on the battlefield of the White Bone Demon God with Xiluo and Er Tu.

"You want to take over the ’Red Eye Tripod’?"

"Then I just happen to want to see if the renowned Celestial Being is as extraordinary as the legends say!"

Watching the battle of the White Bone Demon God coldly, Wu Zhen’s mouth emitted a laugh that was close to mockery.

Even before Xiluo and Er Tu had a chance to react to who Wu Zhen was speaking with,

the hundred-armed White Bone Demon God suddenly threw back its head and let out a long roar.

"Roar!"

The roar shook the heavens, and a fierce wind howled.

In an instant, another Flesh and Blood Demon God manifested out of thin air.

This Flesh and Blood Demon God did not have a human form but rather resembled a grotesque entity assembled from numerous monsters.

All sorts of differently sized eyes could be seen everywhere, and the hideous limbs were haphazardly pieced together.

From a distance, this grotesque anomaly seemed like a materialized celestial disaster, emitting a stench and bloody aura wherever it passed.

Even though Xiluo immediately transformed into the Red Leopard form, spitting flames, she still could not stop the spread of the stench.

Affected by this, the plants and vegetation within a radius of several kilometers withered entirely.

The ground beneath their feet turned into a marsh-like blood spring, gurgling out foul and smelly blood water.

"Trying to hold us back?"

Seeing the White Bone Demon God and the Flesh and Blood Demon God unusually taking the initiative to attack the two of them,

Er Tu, who had been preoccupied with the Xuansu Clan, quickly realized and looked at Wu Zhen, who hadn’t joined the battle.

As expected, Wu Zhen, who had taken off the third ring, just smiled faintly and then vanished from Er Tu’s sight.

"Not good!"

Furious and shocked, Er Tu immediately turned around, wanting to take to the air once more.

But alas, the White Bone Demon God reacted much faster.

A serpent tail ripped through the sky in an instant, slamming fiercely into the Black Dragon mid-air.

"There are kids over there, what are you panicking for!"

In a flash, Xiluo defended and blocked the attack for Er Tu.

Then, Xiluo stood upright once again, transforming directly into a half-human, half-beast Evil God form.

Whoosh!

In an instant, [Five Punishments’ Severity] turned into a golden light that cut through the air.

The White Bone Demon God and Flesh and Blood Demon God had no power to resist, instantly split in two.

Unfortunately, both demon gods had extremely strong regenerative abilities, losing no attack capability as a result.

Thus, Xiluo had to once again manipulate the ribbon behind her to swell and gigantify.

She now seemed to want to mimic the attack style of the [God-Binding Rope], completely trapping the broken bones and rotting flesh.

"You Great Xia witches are all just alike..."

"Reckless and combative."

Watching Wu Zhen appear from nowhere behind the Netherworld Demon God, Li Boyang raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

"You’re not afraid of me now? Daring to reveal your true self?"

"Or is this also just one of your avatars?"

Facing Li Boyang’s inquiry, Wu Zhen shook her head calmly.

"Since you’ve met Wu Xian and the others, you should know that real and fake, life and death have no meaning for great witches like us."

"I just feel that if you’ve decided to protect the Xuansu Clan..."

"Then not giving it your all would be an insult to both you and me."

Gently turning her ring, Wu Zhen proceeded to take off the fourth [Ring of White Bone].

"Next, let me see if your Celestial Human Technique or my Witchcraft is more superior!"

But to her surprise, Li Boyang shook his head at this moment. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"There’s never been a high or low among methods and skills, only a difference in the strength of people."

"Since you’ve adapted some of my Celestial Human Technique rather than simply following my old path, it shows you are truly a Path Seeker."

"As a fellow seeker, I’m curious about your philosophy and how far you’ve gotten."

Li Boyang never arrogantly assumed he was a unique genius, nor did he think he was the only one capable of pioneering new paths.

On the contrary, in such a real world, methods and skills naturally spiral upwards, constantly iterating.

As the most outstanding wise man of this era — the Great Witch group could not possibly remain stagnant, only learning from the witchcraft left by predecessors.

For "witch" has never been a system, but rather a term for wise and practical individuals among humans.

The Spirit Mountain Ten Witches are the cream of the crop, each the strongest in their respective fields.

As one of the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches himself, Wu Zhen’s wisdom certainly isn’t much inferior to Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Luo, or Wu Peng.

"You want to debate philosophy with me?"

Quickly grasping Li Boyang’s intention,

Wu Zhen furrowed his brows at this first encounter of such a situation.

Within the group of Great Witches, though the term "debate philosophy" didn’t exist, interaction was a necessity.

Communication brings wisdom, which brings progress, a common understanding at any time.

The reason Wu Zhen could integrate part of the Celestial Human Technique was precisely because he had exchanged ideas with Wu Xian and Wu Peng.

"I’ve shown enough goodwill; don’t you think?"

"Let’s each take a step back — how about we use this ’Red Eye Tripod’ as a wager?"

"If I lose, I’ll personally retrieve the ’Red Eye Tripod’ and hand it to you."

"You know, I’m different from the others — it’s not all that difficult for me, just needs a bit of time."

"But if I win, you must also promise not to continue hunting Xuansu Clan’s mother and son in the future."

A subtle smile appeared on Li Boyang’s lips as he confidently stated.

Li Boyang truly cared, but his dislike for the Xuansu Clan was genuine as well.

Making a deadly enemy of one of the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches for the Xuansu Clan was not what Li Boyang wanted.

Moreover, Wu Zhen had initially shown a clear intention to resolve the matter peacefully.

So from Li Boyang’s perspective, avoiding escalation of the conflict was preferable.

After all, there’s no permanent thief – how can you guard against a thief day after day?

Li Boyang did not wish to be the personal bodyguard of the Xuansu Clan’s mother and son, always fending off a powerful Great Witch.

Furthermore, Li Boyang had never been the kind to look down on others.

The downfall of Wu Yi constantly reminded him.

Being arrogant, considering oneself supreme, inevitably led to betraying friends and becoming the enemy of all.

Moreover, as a Path Seeker, Li Boyang was indeed curious about how far Wu Zhen had progressed.

"Who wouldn’t want to debate philosophy with the rumored ’Ancestor of Tao-teaching’..."

"What witch wouldn’t?"

In less than a second, Wu Zhen made her decision.

"If you can defeat me, then I will ignore the ’Red Eye Tripod’ from now on."

Such a promise proved Wu Zhen accepted Li Boyang’s goodwill.

Downgrading a life-and-death battle into a philosophical debate and magical duel.

As the weaker party, Wu Zhen undoubtedly gained a great advantage.

At the very least, Wu Zhen now did not need to worry about the safety of her true form in the ensuing battle, allowing her to fully immerse herself in controlling her demon god for combat.

It was a very sensible choice.

Wu Zhen wasn’t afraid to die, but neither did she want to die unnecessarily.

Regardless of whether Li Boyang would keep his promise afterward, Wu Zhen had fulfilled her duties as the "Great Xia Witch."

This was also the biggest difference between Wu Zhen and other Great Witches.

She was a true Path Seeker, who, while valuing her duties as a Great Witch,

will not pursue her duties as a lifelong mission like Wu Xian and the others.

Due to this influence, the White Bone Demon God and Flesh and Blood Demon God on another battlefield also abandoned their all-out attacks and voluntarily reduced the intensity of their battle.

"It’s a deal!"

Hearing this, Li Boyang decisively snapped his fingers.

He then cast his gaze upon the fourth [Ring of White Bone].

The next moment, with great tacit understanding, Wu Zhen tossed that fourth [Ring of White Bone] into the air.

A being with an immensely twisted form, as if refracted and derived from countless mirrors, appeared grandly in the sky.
