"Are you Emperor Jiang?"

Xuanqing's brows conveyed an air of majesty, his eyes fixed intently on Shen Ni, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.

"Indeed!" Shen Ni's demeanor was calm and collected, showing no sign of intimidation.

He had disguised himself before leaving, even altering his origin aura. Even if the Mutual Gaze Corpse were to stand before him, it would be impossible to discern his true identity.

"How can you prove that you're not a Fierce Beast in disguise?" Candle Dragon's gaze also locked onto Shen Ni. They had just been pursuing the Fierce Beast King, and upon opening the Passage of Time, they saw him standing opposite them.

Claim that you're not a Fierce Beast?

Faced with the Candle Dragon's question, Shen Ni chuckled, "Are you two Daoist friends here to deal with the Fierce Beast Clan?"

"What a coincidence, I am also looking for trouble with the Fierce Beast Clan. How about we join forces?"

In just two sentences, Shen Ni turned the situation from passive to active, extending an invitation to travel together to both Xuanqing and Zhu Jiuyin.

"Do you intend to accompany us?" Xuanqing frowned slightly, as if troubled by the question.

In reality.

His true inner monologue was: I've found the leader of the Witch Gods, and he has delivered himself to my doorstep!

To explain why Xuanqing had taken on the disguise of Xi Zi, it was naturally to infiltrate the inner circle of the ten witches of Spiritual Mountain.

The moment he knew the other party was just a founding team, Xuanqing had his intentions set.

Thus, he conjured an incarnation that wandered the Primordial world and 'accidentally' met Candle Dragon, who was disguised as Zhu Jiuyin.

In fact, his next step was to use the pretense of exterminating Fierce Beasts to 'accidentally' encounter Houtu or other members of the ten witches, then smoothly join them.

But unexpectedly, he had a fortuitous 'accidental' meeting with Shen Ni first!

Yes, Xuanqing was already aware of Emperor Jiang's identity.

How could the target of a recent curse he cast remain hidden from Xuanqing?

With a little calculation, he had uncovered everything about his opponent.

Shen Ni saw Xuanqing's furrowed brow and thought he would be rejected.

But the next moment, Xuanqing readily agreed to Shen Ni's request, smiling, "If Daoist friend wishes to join us in striking down Fierce Beasts, then you're a friend!"

Candle Dragon, standing beside them, seemed unsurprised by this, as that was how he had come to know Xuanqing.

"Striking down Fierce Beasts is the duty of all Gods!"

Candle Dragon patted his chest, then bowed with a fist to Shen Ni: "Let's make a proper introduction, I am Zhu Jiuyin!"

"Xi Zi!" Xuanqing also bowed with a fist.

Shen Ni smiled broadly, returning the gesture, "Emperor Jiang!"

After the three divine beings formally introduced themselves, the tension between them eased considerably.

Xuanqing warmly invited Shen Ni, "Since Daoist friend Emperor Jiang also intends to fight against the Fierce Beasts, it's right to follow us!"

"That's right!"

Candle Dragon nodded: "We've cleared many strongholds of Fierce Beasts along the way and are now pursuing the Beast King of the Fierce Beast Clan who carries the Longevity Banner with him!"

"The Longevity Banner?" Shen Ni pretended to be clueless.

Xuanqing explained, "Daoist friend may not know, the Fierce Beast Clan has Five Directions Divine Palace, and twelve Beast Kings."

"Each of the twelve Beast Kings commands a Longevity Banner, which are Divine Weapons to create Fierce Beasts and arrange the Evil Formation!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ni feigned sudden realization, "So, you two Daoist friends plan to eradicate the roots of the Fierce Beast Clan's birth, to cleanse the Primordial world of them?"

In fact, we are planning to steal the banners, infiltrate the Fierce Beast Clan, and become Beast Kings... Candle Dragon exchanged a glance with Xuanqing, without uttering a word.

"That's right!" Candle Dragon nodded.

"We indeed wish to eradicate the Fierce Beast Clan!"

"That's wonderful!" Shen Ni's heart bloomed with joy. It turned out that the key to exterminating the Fierce Beasts lay here. He had been concerned about how to annihilate them, suspecting their existence hindered his path on the Great Dao.

Having met two Daoist friends, it truly was a stroke of divine providence.

"Then let us set out now!"

Shen Ni said eagerly, "If you two need any assistance, please do speak up!"

"Striking down Fierce Beasts is the duty of all Gods!"

With a mutual understanding, they began their great undertaking of suppressing the Fierce Beasts!

~~~~~

Extreme Evil Valley.

"Get out of our clan's territory!"

Two banners rose, their monstrosity soaring to the heavens, and a miasma of malevolence enveloped the area, concealing pairs of bloodthirsty eyes, deep beastly roars, chilling auras, and chaotic evil thoughts, creating a terrifying atmosphere.

"Huh? Daoist Ju Mang, you miscalculated, there are two Beast Kings over there!"

Outside the Extreme Evil Valley, a fierce wind howled.

The void trembled, mountains thundered, the vast Universe was engulfed in endless fierce winds, causing all phenomena to shatter.

In the midst of the furious gales stood an Innate Divine Being, with eight human faces on a tiger's body and ten tails, unrivaled in dignity.

This deity was none other than the Water God of Chaoyang Valley—Tian Wu.

As for why the Water God was controlling the wind, it was solely the doing of the Demon Ancestor.

A great chaotic demon uprising forced Tian Wu to change professions. Now, his ability to control the wind was even smoother than his original skill, Water Control.

Beside Tian Wu stood a deity with a body as green as bamboo, a bird's body with a human face, feet mounted on two dragons.

His robe depicted mountains and rivers in their entirety, with the sun, moon, and stars shining upon them, and flora and fauna so vivid they seemed real, their liveliness never ceasing, as if teeming with life, even affecting this land of evil.

The barren rocks of the Extreme Evil Valley sprouted with miles of vibrant greenery.

This was Ju Mang.

After the assembly of the ten witches of Spiritual Mountain, the Witch Gods began searching for their leader and then developing Daoist allies.

Tian Wu was a newly developed Daoist ally.

Ju Mang stood in the void, looking at the two banners inside the Extreme Evil Valley. At first puzzled, he soon smiled.

"No big deal!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

Two Longevity Banners rose within the Extreme Evil Valley, unleashing a vast surge of evil aura in an instant.

Roar, roar, roar!!

Countless Fierce Beasts emerged like a tide and roared towards the void.

In front of the fierce beasts' formation, the king of Extreme Evil Valley appeared.

Its original form resembled a fox, yet it had wings and its body was covered with brown scales.

"I am Evil God Taiyuan of the Evil God Temple!"

Evil God Taiyuan looked at the two divine beings in the void, and turning back, asked, "Daoist, could these be the divine beings chasing you?"

Under another fierce beast flag, Beast King Tai Hong looked at Ju Mang and Tian Wu with confusion and shook his head. "It's not them."

He was still wondering, where did these two come from?

"Not them?"

Evil God Taiyuan gave a contemptuous smile, "Then just kill them."

Ju Mang looked at the two king beasts surrounding him and said warmly, "My two Daoist friends, to tell you the truth, you are already surrounded by us both!"

"Kill!"

Tai Hong on the right sprouted wings and when he spread them, a storm of wind howled, filling heaven and earth.

"Huh? Wind control." Tian Wu laughed amidst the tempest, pleasantly surprised to encounter a peer.

"I'll handle this!"

With each move Tian Wu made, the sound of crackling echoed in all directions. The void was torn open by his overbearing strength, creating a terrifying rift spreading over thousands of miles.

A terrible hurricane roared up, sweeping across the land in all directions.

"You can control the wind too?"

Beast King Tai Hong summoned the Longevity Banner, causing space and time to quake again. With a sweeping motion of the banner, it tore open the void, with its overwhelming killing intent engulfing every inch of the world.

The two wind-controlling divine beings engaged in fierce battle, rising directly towards the Chong Xiao.

Ju Mang nonchalantly took out an Array Plate.

"Hoo~~"

A fox's cry sounded, mournful as if coming from Jiu You.

With the cry, space twisted and a spatial black hole appeared, engulfing Ju Mang.

"Is that all?" Evil God Taiyuan's mouth curled into a smirk as he brought him down with one move. What was all the bluster about?

He rolled up his banner, ready to aid Beast King Tai Hong.

"Hey, Daoist, aren't you going to join in with a finishing blow?"

A gentle reminder resounded by Taiyuan's ear,

Ju Mang appeared instantly before Evil God Taiyuan.

"Roar!!"

Taiyuan directly displayed the Dharma Image, transforming into a boundless true form.

"Enlarge!"

A tiny Array Plate grew larger, becoming as big as a grindstone, as vast as the heavenly vault, changing along with Taiyuan's Dharma Image.

"Get back!"

The Array Plate pressed down, slamming towards the evil god's head with force!

Evil God Taiyuan's left cheek took the full hit of the Array Plate, and he was flung away.

His face was clearly marked with the patterns of the Array Plate.

The corners of Ju Mang's mouth curved upwards as he turned the Array Plate.

The runes on Evil God Taiyuan's face suddenly responded to the Eight Diagrams Array Plate's runes.

A miniature Eight Diagrams Array directly penetrated into his Spiritual Platform!

"Ah!"

His Spiritual Platform world was invaded; his Primordial Spirit was trapped within the Eight Diagrams Array, with Earth, Fire, Water, Wind running rampant, thunder roaring, and the landscape inverting.

The Evil God's Spiritual Platform was being continuously eroded.

"How dare you!"

After a moment of daze, Evil God Taiyuan realized what was happening and spat out the Red Flame Bell from his mouth.

Its divine sound disturbed the ancient times in the Universe.

As the Divine Fire flowed, the void burned, and in the domain that spread beneath, the countless miles of lush green under Ju Mang's control were set ablaze.

He finally noticed the problem. The moment Ju Mang had appeared, with the instantaenous spread of boundless vitality, the whole Extreme Evil Valley had already fallen into a Big Formation.

He had not reacted sooner because his mind had been affected.

"What formation is this?" Evil God Taiyuan watched Ju Mang closely.

Ju Mang queried in return, "Why would you think an enemy would tell you the truth?"

~~

On another side of the void.

Xuanqing, Shen Ni, and Candle Dragon had been watching the battle for a long time.

"Should we go help?" Shen Ni asked.

Candle Dragon laughed, "Let's wait and see. It looks like they're having quite a heated battle."

Xuanqing, watching both sides go back and forth with clashes of Laws and the strife of the Great Dao, nearly fell asleep.

"How can their fights be so serious?" Xuanqing yawned.

Shen Ni, focused on the two fierce beast kings, paused momentarily.

"Isn't it always like this when powerhouses clash?" Shen Ni asked in return, those two fierce beasts were strong, so an equal exchange was normal, wasn't it?

Xuanqing replied, "That's for regular powerhouses."

Hearing this, Candle Dragon remembered some unpleasant images from their journey, "Emperor Jiang, my friend, you don't need to listen to Xi Zi, he has his own understanding of battle."

"We do our part; just be sure not to be led astray by him."

"Jiu You, my friend, I don't like what you're saying."

Xuanqing countered, "What do you mean 'led astray'? Just tell me if my way of fighting is effective or not?"

"For instance, right now!"

Xuanqing pointed towards the direction of Extreme Evil Valley and said, "A moment ago, those two divine beings—one controlled the vitality, the other possessed the power of wind control."

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't rush in to attack. Instead, I'd merge the might of the Life Dao into the wind."

"Unbeknownst to them, I'd whip up a spring breeze, get those two fierce beast kings pregnant, and then storm their gate, ensuring an easy capture!"
