Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 916 - 34: Witch Sect (Part 2)

"Mother, I don’t understand either, what exactly happened ten thousand years ago? And what is the purpose of that handbook?" Summoner Zong Shaoqing took out the handbook.

The handbook was something the Witch Sect requested Zong Shaoqing to personally retrieve from the Sky Witch Ancient Village.

For many years, Changsun Gongyang of the Four Symbols City has kept strict watch over the Divine Ruins, and Zong Shaoqing has tried to infiltrate the Ruins of the Fallen, but to no avail.

It wasn’t until the theft of the Heavenly Witch Pill, when Changsun Gongyang opened the Divine Ruins, that he could smoothly enter the Sky Witch Village.

However, after obtaining the handbook and examining it, he found that it was merely a ceasefire agreement.

Ten thousand years ago, the God and Demon War ultimately ended with the Demon Clan retreating to the Chen Plane, and the Holy Beast Clan achieving victory, which was a well-known fact across multiple planes.

"Give me the handbook," the Witch Sect ordered Zong Shaoqing to take out the handbook, while reciting an incantation.

The surface of the handbook began to flow gently, and the original writings quickly faded away, revealing a new text.

When Zong Shaoqing looked at the handbook again, he saw lines of words: "God and Demon War, the fires of the Holy Beast Plane spread to the Moon Plane, moving the battlefield to the Star Plane. Emperor Demon Wu Ya’s Demon Technique is unparalleled, single-handedly sweeping across the leaders of the four clans of the Holy Beasts. The old clan leader of the Sun Dragon Clan was defeated and captured, and the Holy Demon clans negotiated, agreeing to release war prisoners as a condition for the ceasefire, dividing the Star Plane for governance by the Holy Beast and Demon Clans. However, with humans guarding the Star Plane, the Sky Witch Clan refused to sign the ceasefire agreement, ultimately reversed by the Thirteen Sky Witches, using the power of the Ancient Four Direction Witch Dragon, severely injuring Ying Wuya. Releasing prisoners, capturing the plane, governing the Star Plane. The Holy Beast Clan remained dissatisfied, accusing the Sky Witch Clan of colluding with the Demon Clan, appealing to the Sun Plane. The Divine of the Sun Plane were enraged, dispatching one hundred thousand divine soldiers, massacring the Sky Witch Clan, and executing the Thirteen Sky Witches at Zhuqiu."

"!!" When Zong Shaoqing read this part, he felt the part of Sky Witch Blood flowing inside him boiling like hot water.

This was the first time he heard about the Thirteen Sky Witches.

He didn’t expect the truth of the God Demon Battlefield to be like this.

What Holy Beast Clan’s grand victory, what Thirteen Sky Witches fell, it turns out it was all fabricated lies.

The statue of the Thirteen Sky Witches standing in the Four Symbols City seemed like a deeply ironic joke, accusing the ignorance of the Divine Clan, and the selfish motives of the Beast Clan.

"Because we trusted the Holy Beast Clan, we were deceived by them. Although the Thirteen Sky Witches possessed supreme Magic Power, ultimately they couldn’t withstand the cunning of the Holy Beast Clan, who forced everyone to submit using the lives of the entire village of the Sky Witch Ancient Village as their leverage, and by claiming the safety of the Star Plane, ultimately accusing the Thirteen Sky Witches of colluding with the Demon Clan, and sentencing them to execution by beheading. Back then, when the Thirteen Sky Witches were executed, I was saved by Emperor Demon Ying Wuya and forcibly taken back to the Chen Plane. Over these years, I’ve survived alone, thinking day and night about the innocent children, the weak and women of the village being slaughtered, and the death of my twelve companions, making me feel like being cut by a knife, in unbearable pain. I hate; I hate the indiscrimination of the Divine Clan, and I hate Ying Wuya for seizing my purity, leaving me like a zombie for ten thousand years. I hate even more the shamelessness of the Holy Beast Clan," the Witch Sect cried, her body trembling like sifted chaff.

She never expected that when signing the ceasefire agreement with the Demon Clan, Emperor Demon Ying Wuya would fall for her at first sight, sparking the doomed relationship with Ying Wuya.

If not for Zong Shaoqing, if not for revenge, she wouldn’t have been able to endure for so many years.

"Mother, since the other twelve Sky Witches have been executed, why do you insist on finding the whereabouts of the thirteenth Sky Witch? I searched the Sky Witch Village, but there was no trace of any descendant of the Sky Witch there," Zong Shaoqing asked with both compassion and curiosity about why his mother believes the thirteenth Sky Witch is still alive.

"Because, the thirteenth Sky Witch was never captured. Do you remember, mother told you that the Thirteen Sky Witches each had unique skills. Among the Sky Witches, Tao Witch Zhu, used her crafted magic puppet at the last moment to save the thirteenth Sky Witch. Back then, mother didn’t expect to give birth to you, and to prevent the skill of the Sky Witch from being lost, we chose a successor. Qing Pu is the successor we chose to inherit the mantle of the Sky Witch. That child, with extraordinary talent, though somewhat solitary in nature, is compassionate and virtuous," the Witch Sect recalled Qing Pu with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Qing Pu was forcefully replaced by Tao Witch Zhu with a magic puppet, and to prevent resistance, they even forcibly separated him from his Heavenly Witch Pill, temporarily sealing him within a Cannibal Dandelion beside a Sky Witch Feeding.

The child must surely be resentful of them in his heart.

But for the sake of the Sky Witch bloodline, they had no choice.

"Mother, you mean, you separated Qing Pu’s Heavenly Witch Pill from his flesh? Where is the thirteenth Heavenly Witch Pill then?" Zong Shaoqing couldn’t find Qing Pu, nor any Cannibal Dandelion.

"We sealed Qing Pu’s Heavenly Witch Pill inside Zhenqiu Beast Witch Tapir. If that child is still alive, he will surely seek out his Heavenly Witch Pill. Once he recovers his pill, and combined with his summoner powers, he can certainly contend with the Holy Beast Clan. Shaoqing, mother’s final request is for you to complete the hundredth Body Seizing, unify the Chen Plane, assist Qing Pu, vindicate the Sky Witch Clan, and deliver this handbook to the Divine Plane," the Witch Sect’s voice grew fainter, as her figure gradually blurred, like a flame about to extinguish.

"The hundredth Body Seizing, unify the Chen Plane, mother... you mean?" Zong Shaoqing abruptly raised his head.

"Yes, I want you to devour my Heavenly Witch Pill, enter the Underground Palace, complete the hundredth Body Seizing, seize Ying Wuya’s Emperor Demon Body, become the new Demon Emperor, and kill the Four Holy Beasts Clan Leaders," the Witch Sect’s voice was chillingly cold.

The hatred of ten thousand years had embedded deep into her bones, unforgettable.

Only after completing ninety-nine Body Seizings, and devouring the Heavenly Witch Pill, could Zong Shaoqing possess the strength to challenge Emperor Demon Wu Ya.

"Mother, you... truly hate him so much..." Zong Shaoqing painfully closed his eyes.

Ying Wuya, his father, the peerless powerhouse of the Emperor Demon Clan.

"Never loved, how could there ever be hate," the Witch Sect smiled brightly.

A century’s worth of love and hatred dissolved in one laugh.

Beneath the smile, a cluster of black Manzhu Shahu suddenly withered, and the Witch Sect’s figure disappeared into the desolate wind of the Cold Palace, leaving only a perfectly round Heavenly Witch Pill.

Zong Shaoqing closed his eyes, not letting the warmth at the corner of his eyes fall.

At this moment, the solitude endured for ten thousand years swept in, almost swallowing him whole.

A petal of the Black Manzhu Flower struck his face; he held it, his mind flash with a vivid smile.

Zong Shaoqing’s eyes gradually brightened, and he murmured, "At least, I still have you."
