The truth was right before their eyes. It wasn't that there were no witnesses to Kuafu's death. In fact, there were many witnesses. These were small demons that had just gained sentience. They didn't have much power to protect themselves, but they had the most basic sentience!
If they had sentience, they must have souls!
Other people wouldn't be able to find their souls, but Houtu could. Houtu controlled the underworld, so he should be able to do it!
Instantly, countless Sorcerer Tribe members in the valley looked at Houtu.
"Houtu, please find Kuafu's murderer!"
"Zu Wu, please find Kuafu's murderer!"
"Zu Wu, Kuafu can't die in vain!"
… …
… …
…
The Shamans shouted in excitement.
It was because Kua Fu was very popular among the Sorcerer Tribe that there were countless Sorcerer Tribe members who stood up for him.
"That's right. Hurry, find the murderer and prove my innocence!" Prince Of Golden Crow shouted in excitement.
The Zu Wu all looked at Houtu.
At that moment, among the Zu Wu, only Goumang's eyes flashed with panic.
Dijiang and Shebi Shi looked at Goumang with anxiety in their eyes as well.
"Houtu, could it be … could it be that Taiyi did it on purpose? He also arranged for those small demons …" Dijiang tried to smooth things over.
"Arranged for what?
Why don't you arrange for someone to sacrifice himself? It's not just one small demon. It's hundreds, no, even tens of thousands of small demons. They're all fake.
Would you be willing to commit suicide to cover up someone else's lie? "Gonggong said coldly.
"Gonggong, I'm talking. What business is it of yours?" Dijiang was immediately frustrated.
Taiyi looked at Houtu. "Houtu, I don't care what happens when you see the truth. I only hope that you can clear my nephew's name!
Even if my nephew really killed Kuafu, it's not a big deal if he's brave enough to admit it.
I just can't tolerate the Wizard Tribe slandering my nephew for no reason!
They are still young! "
The group of Prince Of Golden Crow looked at Taiyi speechlessly. We're still young?
Why didn't you say we were still young when you whipped us?
Houtu looked at it for a while and finally nodded. "Alright, if that's the case, I'll go to the underworld to take a look. Those little demons should still be somewhere in the underworld. It's impossible for all of them to be lying. If it wasn't the Prince Of Golden Crow who killed Kuafu, I'd clear the name of the Prince Of Golden Crow!"
"Thank you!" Taiyi bowed Solemnly.
"I want to go too!" Old Six said excitedly.
"That's right! I want to go too! We all want to go!" the Prince Of Golden Crow shouted excitedly.
Although the Prince Of Golden Crow had been lawless and out of control before, and had been shouting that they had killed Kuafu, when they found out that they had been framed, they were all extremely disgusted and angry.
Now that Taiyi was going to help them clear their names, all of them clamored to be the first to witness it.
Whoever had framed them had to know. The Princes understood what Taiyi had said. If someone close to Houtu had killed Kuafu, Houtu might even protect the culprit.
"Shut up! Where are you going?
Is the underworld somewhere you can go? "Taiyi glared at them.
"Why can't we go? What if Houtu is deliberately protecting the culprit?"
"That's right. If Houtu can go, we can go too!"
"I want to know who framed us!
I want to see what's coming! "
"That's right. If it's that old Goumang, Houtu will definitely protect him!"
"It's that old Goumang who killed Kuafu!"
… …
… …
…
The princes once again began to yell in a lawless manner.
Taiyi's expression darkened. He and the ten Golden Crow Princes were able to stand here safely, and even put the Sorcerer Tribe in their place. That was because he was on the side of justice, and he had used it to suppress the Sorcerer Tribe. That was why the Sorcerer Tribe did not dare to attack them.
These kids didn't care about anything at all. Whether Goumang was the culprit or not was not confirmed, and they dared to accuse him?
And they even called him an old thing?
Wasn't that the same as Hou Yi slandering them?
You're asking for it!
Sure enough, before Taiyi could criticize the Prince Of Golden Crow, Goumang attacked. "Hmph, you lawless thing. How dare you insult me, Zu Wu?"
Boom!
Goumang waved his hand, and a large number of vines shot out from the ground, heading straight for the ten Prince Of Golden Crow.
"Ah!" The ten Golden Crow Princes' expressions changed.
Taiyi's expression darkened as well. The Donghuang Bell quickly rang.
Dang!
The Donghuang Bell rang, and in an instant, the void was sealed. Taiyi waved his hand, and the surrounding vines exploded.
"Goumang, are you trying to silence us?" Taiyi glared.
"Goumang, stop!" Houtu glared and shouted.
Goumang looked coldly at the Prince Of Golden Crow. "A bunch of reckless kids. Don't think I don't dare to kill you. This is the Sorcerer Tribe, not the Demon Tribe!"
Goumang snorted and stopped.
However, Taiyi's expression was frighteningly dark.
With a wave of his hand, he scattered the wood shavings, revealing the pathetic Prince Of Golden Crow.
In that instant, the Prince Of Golden Crow did not even have time to react. They had almost been killed?
Although the Prince Of Golden Crow hated Goumang, they broke out in a cold sweat. They did not dare to speak again.
Taiyi could not make things difficult for Goumang because of the Prince Of Golden Crow's foul mouth. He could only snort coldly at the princes. "Now you're afraid?
Stay aside and keep your mouth shut. Hmph! "
"Hmph!" The Prince Of Golden Crow pouted, as if unwilling to accept Taiyi's good intentions.
"Houtu, we were invited here by you. If we have offended you, feel free to tell us. I, Taiyi, am not someone who does not understand etiquette. If we have offended you, we will naturally apologize. There's no need to find fault and kill!" Taiyi looked coldly at Houtu.
Houtu's expression was ugly. He blamed Goumang for being too rash.
"Zu Wu, this is the tribe behind me. If you want to attack, can you warn me beforehand?
So that I can clean your weapons and offer them to you? "Houtu looked coldly at Goumang.
Although Houtu spoke politely, everyone could hear the anger in his voice.
Goumang looked at Houtu and smiled. "My apologies, Houtu. I was a little rash. I won't attack anymore!"
Houtu looked at Goumang coldly.
Then, he turned to Taiyi.
"Let Donghuang know that the underworld is under the Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth. Only I can enter the Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth. Anyone who enters will be lost in the underworld, and even I won't be able to find them. Therefore, no living person dares to approach the Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth. I can't bring anyone into the underworld. If the Prince Of Golden Crow tries to force his way in, he will only be lost in the underworld, perhaps forever!" Houtu said Solemnly.
Taiyi looked at Houtu and nodded. "Alright, I will restrain my nephew. I hope that Houtu will give my nephew justice on account of the difficult lives of the civilians of the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes!"
"If the Prince Of Golden Crow hadn't killed Kuafu, I, Houtu, swear that I will clear his name!" Houtu said Solemnly.
"Thank you!" Taiyi nodded.
Houtu nodded.
The Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth seemed to be a valley surrounded by three huge mountains. The valley was right next to the valley where everyone was gathered.
Billowing black smoke enveloped the Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth. It seemed as if endless Spiritual Qi was gushing out from within.
The Holy Gourd Vine was just outside the valley of the Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth. Billowing Spiritual Qi surged into the Holy Gourd Vine, making it even more dazzling.
"Everyone, please wait for a while. I'll be back soon. Houqing, treat Donghuang well. Don't be rude!" Houtu ordered.
"Yes!" Houqing had a bitter look on his face.
Treat?
If Donghuang fought with the Zu Wu, would he be able to treat him well?
This was truly an arduous and thankless task.
Houtu stepped into another valley and entered the valley of the Yin Yang Pool of Heaven and Earth that was shrouded in black smoke.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Houtu was swallowed by the black smoke and disappeared.
Taiyi clenched his fists. A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Taiyi did not want to see the Great War of the Shamans and Demons. Houtu, who was in front of him, did not seem to want the Great War of the Shamans and Demons either. Taiyi was sure that Houtu would bring good news and clear his ten nephews of suspicion.
With a hint of satisfaction, Tai Yi looked at his ten nephews.
However, at that moment, the ten Prince Of Golden Crow suddenly looked ahead with empty eyes. It was as if they had turned into wooden statues.
Taiyi's expression changed. "What are you doing?
What's wrong with you? "
Taiyi shouted. Everyone looked at the ten Prince Of Golden Crow in shock.
They saw that the Prince Of Golden Crow had stopped moving like wooden statues.
"This is bad. Donghuang, the princes, the princes seem to be dead.
Are they all dead? "Che Gui suddenly shouted.
"Impossible!" Taiyi quickly examined them.
The ten princes were really not moving. They were really dead.
"Souls?
Where are their souls? "Taiyi's expression changed.
"Their souls have left their bodies. They're not dead. Did their souls leave their bodies?
How did their souls leave their bodies? "Che Gui shouted.
Dang!
"Souls, come!" Taiyi rang the Donghuang Bell and shouted.
Hum!
The ten princes' bodies shuddered. In the black smoke valley that Houtu had entered, ten balls of light appeared.
"Donghuang Bell Summon Souls! Souls! The princes' souls followed Houtu into the netherworld?
How is that possible? "Che Gui shouted.
Taiyi flipped his hand and found a blue sawdust on the back of one of the princes' clothes. There seemed to be a rune on the sawdust. The rune glowed with blue light. It was clearly the cause of the Prince Of Golden Crow's soul leaving his body.
Sawdust?
"Goumang?
You did this? "Taiyi looked at Goumang with a ferocious expression.
The Zu Wu's also looked at Goumang with a dark expression.
This Goumang was too petty. He had schemed against the ten Prince Of Golden Crow again and again?
The attack on the wood world just now was just to set up a trap for the ten Prince Of Golden Crow?
"Didn't the Prince Of Golden Crow want to follow Houtu into the netherworld to find the truth?
I followed their wishes and helped their souls leave their bodies. I guided them into the land of Houtu and into the netherworld! "Goumang sneered.
"You have a death wish!" Taiyi's expression changed.
Houtu had made it clear that once they entered the netherworld, they would be lost in the vast netherworld. Even Houtu would not be able to find them.
If their souls could not return, what was the difference between them and being dead?
Goumang had killed his ten nephews?
How was he going to answer to his big brother when he returned?
"Goumang, you're shameless. I'm ashamed of you!" Gonggong glared.
"Goumang, you're too much!" The Zu Wu's also criticized Goumang.
Goumang did not mind. He sneered and said, "Of course, it's not impossible for Donghuang to summon the souls of the Prince Of Golden Crow back. Go after them before they go far!"
"Donghuang, don't listen to him. He's tricking you into going in. Once you go in, don't even think about coming out!" Che Gui said anxiously.
Taiyi looked at the entrance to the netherworld and his expression darkened.
"No, I have to go in. Che Gui, guard the princes' bodies!" Taiyi said anxiously.
At this moment, there was no time to hesitate at all.
Perhaps he could not escape after going in, but he could still escape. After all, he still had his Fate Wheel. At most, he could transmigrate back.
However, if that happened, his Fate Wheel would be useless. Even if he transmigrated back, he would still be in the netherworld. He would not be able to come out.
"Donghuang, you can't!" Che Gui said anxiously.
"Zu Wu's, please help me guard my nephews' bodies!" Taiyi said anxiously.
Taiyi did not dare to touch his nephews' bodies. At the moment, it was only his soul that had left his body. There was still a connection between his body and his soul. This connection might be the key to the princes' return.
"Taiyi, are you really going?" Gonggong looked anxious.
Gonggong knew that if Taiyi was lost in the netherworld, the war between the Sorcerer Tribe and the Demon Tribe would be unavoidable. Donghuang and the princes of the Demon Tribe had "died" at the invitation of the Sorcerer Tribe. Who among the Demon Tribe would let it go?
Di Jun must have gone crazy.
Gonggong also knew that he could not persuade Taiyi.
Fortunately, Taiyi could still return to the future.
"Please!" Taiyi looked at Gonggong.
Gonggong looked at Taiyi and finally nodded. "Alright, don't worry. With me here, Prince Golden Crow's body will be fine!"
"Thank you!" Taiyi nodded.
"Donghuang, you can't!" Che Gui said anxiously.
"When I'm not here, listen to Gonggong Zu Wu's words!" Taiyi ordered.
"I!" Che Gui looked gloomy.
As the Sorcerer Tribe members had complicated expressions, Taiyi followed Houtu and stepped into the Yin Yang Pool that was shrouded in black smoke.
In the valley, other than Goumang, Dijiang, and She Bi Shi, all the Sorcerer Tribe members looked so ashamed that they could not raise their heads.
For thousands of years, the Sorcerer Tribe had always been upright. When had they ever done something so embarrassing?
And the one who did this was Zu Wu and Goumang?
The Sorcerer Tribe members were ashamed.
