Chapter 2673 - 2671: The Great Witch Released from Prison

Chapter 2673: Chapter 2671: The Great Witch Released from Prison

Emperor Gouchen was furious, not expecting anyone to dare block his way here.

He rebuked Jiufeng, "I am here by Emperor Ziwei’s order to guard the Heavenly Prison. How could I allow you to act recklessly here?"

His body emitted the light of heaven and earth, causing the lightning above his head to grow denser, rumbling as if it would tear the void apart.

Jiufeng rebuked in return, "I am here by the Jade Emperor’s order to guard the Heavenly Court. How could I allow you to act recklessly here?"

She stood firm under the lightning, holding a longsword, facing Emperor Gouchen with fierce brows.

As the two were at a stalemate, suddenly there was a muffled rumble from the Heavenly Prison inside, stacking up from afar.

Then came an explosion, followed by white smoke rising into the air.

Emperor Gouchen exclaimed, "Not good, these criminals have escaped!"

In the white smoke, waves of divine power spread swiftly in all directions.

There were sounds of eagle cries, tiger roars, clashing metals, flames burning the sky, and wind and rain stirring.

Jiufeng immediately summoned a magical treasure and threw it into the overpowering aura, and these sounds quickly vanished.

Emperor Gouchen asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Jiufeng replied, "Helping suppress the convicts of the Three Realms!"

Emperor Gouchen’s sharp gaze was uncertain, only impatiently saying, "Move aside quickly, let me go down to investigate."

Jiufeng remained resolute, "This Heavenly Prison Star is already under our Witch Tribe Divine Generals’ defense; without the Jade Emperor’s order, no one can descend!"

"You’re testing my patience!"

Emperor Gouchen was so furious that the Three Corpse Spirits throbbed, and he summoned a golden cudgel, which trembled in the air.

Jiufeng lifted her sword and unwillingly said, "Emperor Gouchen, don’t make things difficult for us!"

At this moment, a mighty force struck from afar, hitting Emperor Gouchen and sending him flying.

A headless giant appeared, and the force from his hands shook the void.

"Who dares bully my sister?"

The giant coldly shouted, the sound coming from his abdomen.

Emperor Gouchen stabilized himself from afar, surprised, "Great Witch Xing Tian?"

Xing Tian cast a cold gaze and said, "If you want to die, come and fight me!"

Emperor Gouchen was bewildered, not expecting the Jade Emperor to summon these people to heaven as Divine Generals.

He said with suppressed rage, "Wait here, I’m going to the Jade Emperor for explanation!"

With a flap of the wind and thunder wings behind Emperor Gouchen, he vanished in an instant.

Xing Tian disdainfully called, "Coward, yet you dare claim to be one of the Four Sovereigns!"

Turning to Jiufeng, he anxiously asked, "Sister Feng, what happened here?"

Jiufeng gave him a meaningful look and said excitedly, "We’ll talk when we return!"

She ordered strict defense here, allowing no entry or exit, and returned to the Great Marshal’s Mansion with Xing Tian alone.

Xing Tian urged anxiously, "Sister Feng, speak up, don’t keep us in suspense."

Jiufeng took out the Sorcery Book, happily saying to Xing Tian, "Brother Xing Tian, see who’s here?"

The Sorcery Book opened, the blood qi roiling.

From it emerged four individuals, one entwined in flames, a female figure with a divine laksana of a colorful plumed divine bird with a white beak and red claws behind her.

Another was entwined in wind, another in water, all with robust humanoid figures.

And another had nine human heads but a snake’s body.

The four looked at Xing Tian, shouting excitedly, "Brother Xing Tian, long time no see!"

Xing Tian was almost in tears, rushing to embrace them heavily, "Oh my, Sister Jingwei, Brother Fei Lian, Brother Ping Yi, Brother Xiang Liu. Good brothers, you’re still here!"

They all embraced, laughing joyously.

Xing Tian still confused, urgently asked Jiufeng, "Sister Feng, what is going on? Where did you find them?"

Jiufeng happily said beside him, "I heard they were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and found them through someone’s rescue."

These four asked, "Was it Shen Gongbao?"

Jiufeng nodded, asking them, "Have you seen him?"

All four nodded simultaneously, "We’ve seen him, a sleazy, rat-faced character. But we don’t know what he did to release us from the Heavenly Prison."

Jiufeng analyzed, "I suspect someone is helping behind the scenes; Shen Gongbao is just a pawn moved by them."

The four all nodded.

Xing Tian excitedly ordered for food and drink, anxiously asking the four, "How did you end up in the Heavenly Prison?"

The four, sealed in the Heavenly Prison until now, could only eat molten copper and iron juice. Upon seeing the feast, their eyes turned red and they told Xing Tian while eating, "Back then, we aided Chi You in battling the Human Race and were sealed in the Heavenly Prison when Xuanyuan enlisted the Immortal Clan’s aid and decisively defeated Chi You’s army."

Xing Tian cursed, "I was also tricked by that Xuanyuan brat and sealed in the East Sea’s spring until Sister Jiufeng helped me not long ago."

They reminisced about the past, sighing endlessly.

Jingwei asked, "Sister Jiufeng, what’s the situation now that we’re in heaven?"

Xiang Liu’s nine eyes blinked, "Yes, what’s the situation now?"

Jiufeng poured them wine and briefly informed them about the Three Realms and the Witch Tribe’s situation.

She said to the four, "We initially planned to carve out a territory in the Southern Observation Continent and then seek ways to vie for the Heavenly Emperor position, restoring the glory of the Witch Tribe. Who would’ve thought the Jade Emperor came to us, offering Divine General positions in heaven. After discussing with Brother Xing Tian, we decided to first rely on the Heavenly Court’s power to grow strong, thus temporarily aligning with the Heavenly Court."

The four nodded, asking Xing Tian and Jiufeng, "Are you two the only leaders left of the Witch Tribe?"

Jiufeng and Xing Tian exchanged a glance and told them, "Not just us, there is also the Ancestral Witch, who seems to have revived!"

"What?"

The four were shocked, their mouths agape.

Jiufeng said, "It’s true; we’ve met Brother Mystic Darkness before. But I feel he’s somewhat strange now, not like before."

Xiang Liu analyzed with his nine heads, "Could someone be impersonating the Ancestral Witch?"

Jiufeng shook her head, "No, he indeed possesses Brother’s divine majesty, even Brother Xing Tian isn’t his match."

The four were all frightened, wondering if the Ancestral Witch could truly be revived.

Xing Tian reassured them, "Don’t ponder so much; now that our Witch Tribe’s fate is resurging, it’s the right time for us brothers to advance our grand plans. With your help, we brothers can stand firm in the Three Realms. If anyone dares disrespect us, we’ll eliminate them!"

Jingwei, Fei Lian, Ping Yi, and Xiang Liu exchanged glances, happily nodding, "We are ready to follow Brother Xing Tian’s orders."

Jiufeng advised them, "You’ve suffered in the Heavenly Prison, and your bodies have yet to recover. Later, return to the Sorcery Book to restore your spirits, and rejuvenate before discussing further."

Fei Lian curiously asked, "Wasn’t the Sorcery Book taken by Golden Crow Lu Ya? How is it in your hands?"

Jiufeng sighed, "It was given to me by my Ancestral Witch brother."

"Mystic Darkness Ancestral Witch?"

They clicked their tongues in astonishment, the story of the Ancestral Witch’s revival now seeming more plausible to them.
