Chapter 388 Willing but unable? There's someone who can!
Upon thinking of this, Kunpeng's expression immediately turned ugly.
After all, he had a deep-seated hatred for Di Jun.
But after a moment's thought, Kunpeng's brows relaxed, and he muttered to himself:
"For Di Jun to dare cooperate with these two sages, he's really... courting death!"
Although Kunpeng is now the third Buddha of Western religion.
However, he was not as respectful to Duyin and Zhunti as he appeared on the surface.
Kunpeng still harbors resentment over the dispute about the prayer mats during his sermon at Zixiao Palace.
He and Hongyun had both originally secured a seat on a prayer mat.
Unexpectedly, the Western sages Jieyin and Zhunti arrived late, and after much persuasion, they managed to get the kind-hearted Hongyun to give up her seat.
Subsequently, the two men set their sights on the futon beneath him.
After some maneuvering, Kunpeng was kicked off his prayer mat by Yuanshi Tianzun.
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun distributed the saintly positions and the Primordial Purple Qi, Kunpeng finally realized that the six futons placed in Zixiao Palace represented the saintly positions.
Although many years have passed, Kunpeng has always kept these things in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi had acted too recklessly before...
He would not choose to join Western religions.
In addition, Kunpeng also knew that although Jieyin and Zhunti were saints, they were capable of anything in order to promote the Western religion.
Before they had attained sainthood, the two of them had already joined the Purple Palace Immortal Court of the Eastern King Duke.
During the great battle between the demon race and the Purple Mansion Celestial Court, Jieyin and Zhunti not only failed to help the Purple Mansion, but instead took advantage of the chaos to plunder a large number of creatures from the Purple Mansion State to replenish the Western Regions!
In Kunpeng's view, Dijun's alliance with the two Western Saints was tantamount to lambs entering the tiger's den.
After thinking it over, Kunpeng couldn't help but smirk.
I'd love to see Di Jun get tricked by the two Western Saints.
……
At the same time, many powerful beings in the prehistoric world also noticed that Di Jun had left from the west.
"Oh?"
"Did the Demon Emperor go to the West?"
"It seems they went to discuss something with the two saints of the Western religion."
"As soon as the Dao Ancestor announced the Devouring Universe Calamity in Zixiao Palace, Di Jun immediately went to the West."
"In that case, it must be about the Saint's Crystal."
"Judging from Di Jun's beaming face, could it be that he has reached a cooperation agreement with the Western Sect?"
"Doesn't Di Jun know of the cautionary tale of the Eastern King Duke?"
"Cooperating with Western religions, isn't that like asking a tiger for its skin?"
"..."
For a time, many powerful figures were discussing it.
At this time, Dijiang also brought Xuanming to the Netherworld.
Outside the Gates of Hell, the two ancestral witches were blocked.
Soon, the underworld officials informed Niu Ben of the arrival of Di Jiang and Xuan Ming.
"Let's take them straight to Pingxin Hall!"
Upon learning of the arrival of the two Ancestral Witches, Niu Ben naturally guessed their purpose and immediately ordered them to pass!
Soon, the two Ancestral Witches, Dijiang and Xuanming, arrived outside the Pingxin Hall.
"Two Ancestral Witches, this is the Palace of Peaceful Mind!"
Please make yourself at home!
After leading the two ancestral witches to the Pingxin Hall, a member of the Niu tribe left on his own.
Seeing this, Dijiang and Xuanming Ancestral Witch exchanged a glance, and then without delay, stepped into the Pingxin Hall.
Upon entering the hall, one sees a dense aura of the netherworld flowing through it, permeated by the laws of reincarnation, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Just then, a figure appeared, it was Consort Pingxin.
Upon seeing Pingxin, the Ancestral Witches Dijiang and Xuanming were overjoyed and couldn't help but shout out:
"Girl!"
"elder sister!"
In their eyes, the Goddess Pingxin of the Underworld was still the Ancestral Witch Houtu of the Witch Clan.
Upon hearing their calls, Consort Pingxin paused for a moment, a subtle glint of something unusual flashing in the depths of her eyes.
But in an instant, she regained her composure and spoke in a cold, indifferent voice:
"Why have you two ancestral witches come to my underworld?"
Upon hearing Consort Pingxin's cold question, the smiles on the faces of both Dijiang and Xuanming froze.
After a slight pause, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang finally spoke:
"Sister... Empress Pingxin!"
"In the past, the Dao Ancestor summoned all beings above the Quasi-Saint level in the primordial world to Zixiao Palace for a meeting."
"It was mentioned that in the near future, the primordial world will be invaded by an extraterrestrial world called the Devouring Universe Realm."
"..."
Next, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang recounted the Great Calamity of Devouring the Universe and the Sage's Crystal to Lady Pingxin in detail.
After saying that, he pursed his lips slightly and continued:
"Your Majesty!"
"The reason Xuanming and I have come here is to hope that Your Highness will lend our Witch Clan a hand after the subsequent great battle, so that we may seize the Saint's Crystal!"
At the same time, Xuanming also spoke:
"Yes, sister!"
"This Saint's Crystal is of great importance."
"If the witch clan can obtain it, a saint can be born from it."
"When that time comes, what will the demon race have to fear?"
"I hope that you, sister, will remember our past ties with the Witch Clan and lend a helping hand!"
After listening to what Dijiang and Xuanming had to say, the light of reincarnation slowly flowed in the eyes of Lady Pingxin.
After a long silence, she couldn't help but sigh softly and replied:
"I understand what you mean."
"The Witch Clan is my ancestral home, connected by blood. How could I forget our past ties?"
"When the primordial world is in peril, even the underworld cannot remain unscathed."
At this point, Empress Pingxin paused slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness, and added:
"However, my body has been transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, completely aligning with the laws of the underworld. If my true body leaves the realm of the underworld, my strength will be greatly weakened."
"Furthermore, it is impossible to directly intervene in large-scale wars, otherwise the cycle of reincarnation would be in turmoil, and the crime would be unforgivable."
After hearing what Consort Pingxin said, both Dijiang and Xuanming were stunned, and disappointment appeared in their eyes.
Although Pingxin didn't spell it out explicitly, her refusal was quite clear.
It's not that we don't want to help, but that we are powerless to do so.
At that moment, Empress Pingxin suddenly changed the subject:
"but……"
"While I cannot intervene, there is one person who can."
"He might have the ability to help the Witch Clan!"
Upon hearing Pingxin's words, both Dijiang and Xuanming were overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, who are you referring to?"
Dijiang asked anxiously.
"Niu Ben" (牛犇).
Empress Pingxin didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly revealed the name.
Upon hearing this, Dijiang and Xuanming were startled.
They were naturally very familiar with Niu Ben.
It is also known that after the establishment of the Underworld, with the permission of Lady Pingxin, Niu Ben became the ruler of the Underworld.
However, what worried Dijiang and Xuanming was...
Although Niu Ben is the ruler of the underworld, he also has other identities: the senior disciple of the three religions and the king of the bull clan!
In the subsequent great battle, Niu Ben may have had the idea of vying for the Saint's Crystal himself.
While Niu Ben himself might not need it, it would be a good choice to give it to the creatures of the Niu clan or to the disciples of the three religions.
