Chapter 247: Chapter 75 Hot Potato East Heaven State_1

Translator: 549690339

After the fall of two Witch Children and four Sovereign Sorcerers, the Soul Lamps they left behind in the sect immediately extinguished.

The Witch tribe tasked with guarding the Soul Lamps was taken aback and immediately reported to the upper echelon of the two large sects.

The high-ranking members of the two large sects were of course aware of the act against Ye Jinqiu and his wife, and were still waiting for news.

When they heard that the Witch tribe and the four Sovereign Sorcerers had fallen, they first disbelieved, then rushed to the valley where they were located.

By this time, Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing had successfully returned to the Divine Witch Sect through the artifact left by the Sect, and informed the upper echelon of the Divine Witch Sect that they had been attacked.

With the aid of the artifact given by the Sect, they had barely managed to escape, nearly dying out there.

As for who had attacked them, they were not sure – possibly the Human clan.

The attack on the Divine Children almost led to their deaths, causing the Divine Witch Sect – which viewed the two Children as their future hope – to become instantly furious.

Even a few Immortal Emperors began searching for who had assaulted the Divine Children.

At this time, the leaders of the Earth Witch Sect and the Human Witch Sect also angrily approached the Divine Witch Sect.

Their two Witch Children and four Witch Sovereigns had died. For the two sects, this was a massive loss.

These people couldn’t have just died in vain – an explanation was needed.

When the Sect Master of the Earth Witch Sect, Witch Han, saw Wu Chang, he immediately questioned, “Were our Witch Children and Witch Sovereigns killed by you?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Chang was slightly stunned.

What did this mean? Their Divine Children were attacked just like the two large sects?

Could it be that the Human clan did it?

Looking at Wu Chang’s expression, Witch Han also realized that something was not right – was it not the Divine Witch Sect that did it?

However, that also didn’t seem right. If it wasn’t the Divine Witch Sect, who would protect Ye Jinqiu and his wife?

“Where are your Divine Children?”

Witch Han unwillingly asked.

“Our Divine Children were just attacked. If it weren’t for the measures left by our Witch Emperor, they might not have been able to return.”

The fact that the Witch Emperor had personally left measures to save Ye Jinqiu and his wife suggested that he held them in high regard.

At this point, Witch Han was almost certain that it was not the Divine Witch Sect who had acted.

According to the remnants of the battle, it was more likely that the Human clan had acted.

But why did the Divine Witch Sect’s Divine Children survive unscathed, while their two Sect’s Witch Children and Witch Sovereigns perished.

At this moment, Wu Chang also understood.

The intervention of the Divine Witch Sect after the incident with the two sects’ Witch Children made no sense.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t the Human clan be the first suspect after such an incident?

No matter how much suspicion there was, it should not be the Divine Witch Sect.

Unless the people involved beforehand were with the Divine Children of the Divine Witch Sect.

Based on what Wu Chang knew, Ye Jinqiu and his wife had left home due to rumors of Ancestor Witch’s blood essence.

All these clues pointed to one conclusion that Wu Chang could easily deduce.

Our Divine Children were plotted against by sects from our own Witch tribe.

If they were not lucky, they might not have been able to return.

Thinking of this made Wu Chang furious.

“Send the order down – none of the cultivators from the two sects are allowed to leave.”

At this point, if an explanation is not given, Wu Chang would not let the cultivators of the two sects leave.

Witch Han’s face turned pale upon hearing Wu Chang’s words. “Wu Chang! What do you mean by this!”

“What do I mean? Don’t you know?”

Soon after, powerful sovereign sorcerers of the Witch tribe started to arrive one after another.

Even two Witch Emperors came.

When they learned that the two large sects had set a trap for the Divine Children, their anger was ignited.

Daring to insult the Divine Children of my Divine Witch Sect is a death wish.

Witch Han and his companions broke out in a cold sweat when they were targeted by the aura of the Witch Emperors.

They knew that their plan had been exposed. Without a satisfactory explanation today, they would definitely not be able to leave.

“Wu Chang, this is a misunderstanding. The two Witch Children, out of jealousy against your Divine Children, did this entirely on their own.”

At this point, they certainly couldn’t admit that they planned this – they could only try to push all the blame onto Witch Yang and Wu Tian, both of whom were already dead.

Since the dead could no longer speak, this was indeed their final contribution to the sect.

Wu Chang naturally wouldn’t accept such a reason.

“For the actions of the Witch Children, we are willing to offer compensation.”

“A drop of Ancestor Witch’s blood essence, a mid-tier Sky Witch artifact, Blood Witch Grass…”

A Mid-tier Sky Witch artifact – equivalent to a Mid-tier Taoist artifact in the Human clan.

With the Ancestor Witch’s blood essence and other resources, even an Immortal Monarch might not be able to afford them.

“We have two Divine Children. How are they supposed to divide one portion? Are you trying to incite discord between our two Divine Children?”

Wu Chang glared again.

“Two portions, one for each.”

Fearing the murderous intent of the Witch Emperor, the Sovereigns of the two sects quickly spoke up.

“Ah, I knew there was a misunderstanding with the two sects. Someone, prepare a feast!”

Wu Chang also knew that he couldn’t actually punish the Sovereigns of the two sects or else the Sky Witch World would be thrown into chaos.

Obtaining sufficient compensation would satisfy them.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, all the tribes of the Witches shifted the responsibility for the death of the two Witch Children onto the Human clan.

Without direct evidence, they would never think that the “Divine Children” they spoke of was actually a member of the Human clan.

With the Divine Children unharmed and compensation received, the Divine Witch Sect was satisfied.

In the end, the only ones who were harmed were the two major sects.

Not only did they fail to kill Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing, but they also lost two Divine Children – they lost both their lady and their soldiers!

However, none of this had anything to do with Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing anymore.

The compensation from the two sects was of course not withheld by Wu Chang, and was given to Ye Jinqiu and his wife to ease their minds.

Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing, looking at the three drops of Ancestor Witch’s blood essence in their hands, could not stop smiling.

This time, they hit the jackpot.

With the three drops of Ancestor Witch’s blood essence, there was no pressure for this time’s breakthrough.

However, they did not leave immediately, intending to wait until they returned to the Sky Witch World to begin their breakthrough.

As the resistance of the Human clan became increasingly fierce, the Sky Witch World, which had already gathered enough resources, was already planning a withdrawal.

In addition, there was now a mysterious force secretly targeting the Sky Witch World in the shadows. The death of the two Witch Children and the near misfortune of the Divine Children accelerated their thoughts of retreat.

After invading for a full two hundred years, the great army of the Sky Witch World finally started to withdraw from the Changming World.

In the end, all that was left was the devastated East Heaven State.

The once fertile territory of the Witch tribe was now barren.

Almost everything, whether usable or not, had been ravaged by the Witch tribe.

East Heaven State was originally the weakest and most barren among the Upper Five States. Now that it had become like this, it immediately lost the interest of larger forces.

However, smaller forces did not have the ability to develop East Heaven State again and had to give up.

In the end, East Heaven State became a hot potato that nobody wanted.

However, “nobody” did not include the newly established Dayu Immortal Dynasty of the Lower Five States.

For the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, it wasn’t easy to find a no man’s land to develop.

The despised East Heaven State was a great choice.
