"The Wu Clan!"
Hearing these unrestrained voices and seeing the figures surging like tides, the beings present knew that their old rivals, the Wu Clan, had arrived!
Indeed, the figures soon swarmed in, revealing themselves to be members of the Wu Clan.
With the appearance of the Wu Clan, the Demon Clan members were thrown into great panic, exclaiming.
"Damn it! It's the Wu Clan!"
"How dare the Wu Clan disrupt our Demon Clan's affairs? They deserve a lesson!"
"Quick, scatter! Don't let the Wu Clan surround us!"
The arrival of the Wu Clan was completely unexpected. The Demon Clan members shouted and clamored in disarray, trying to scatter and fall into the Wu Clan's encirclement.
However, the Wu Clan, having long contended with the Demon Clan, understood their intentions well and would not let them succeed.
"Today, I, Chi You, am here! Where can your Demon Clan escape? Wu Clan members, block their escape routes!"
The Great Wu Chi You roared. Under the leadership of the Great Wu, the Wu Clan members surged forward and quickly dispersed, pushing back the scattering Demon Clan.
At this moment, the numerical superiority of the Wu Clan was evident. They spread out, encircling the Demon Clan and the entire area.
The Wu Clan outnumbered the Demon Clan by an unknown margin!
"This!"
The beings present watched this scene, speechless for a time.
They had thought the Demon Clan's army was large enough. Now, in the face of the Wu Clan's great army, it seemed pitifully small, like a tiny boat in a storm.
Seeing this, the Demon Clan members dared not confront the Wu Clan's army. They could only retreat repeatedly, consolidating around Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, warily gazing at the dense Wu Clan army, their scalps tingling.
The observing great cultivators, seeing the Demon Clan in such a state, felt a surge of righteous indignation and spoke up.
"Indeed, Donghuang Taiyi's mouth is blessed! Whatever he says comes true!"
"Haha! Right, right, his words are like decrees. Impressive, impressive!"
"Now, let's see how the Demon Clan intends to resolve this!"
With the arrival of the Wu Clan's army, the situation instantly changed. The great cultivators, no longer cautious as before, spoke with mockery.
Hadn't Donghuang Taiyi been arrogant just now, relying on the Demon Clan's might and refusing to let them leave? It was infuriating!
Now, it was perfect! His blessed mouth had summoned the force the Demon Clan least wanted to see. Serves him right!
Donghuang Taiyi, hearing the mockery of the great cultivators, was naturally filled with resentment. He glared at them fiercely.
However, with the Wu Clan suddenly appearing in this Eastern Sea region, he couldn't spare the time to deal with these great cultivators who enjoyed watching the show without adding to the trouble.
After glaring at the great cultivators, Donghuang Taiyi looked at Di Jun.
"Big brother, I truly didn't expect that I..."
Donghuang Taiyi hesitated, filled with helplessness.
How could he have imagined that by merely saying a similar sentence, the Wu Clan would descend from the sky and appear here so unexpectedly?
If he could go back, he, Donghuang Taiyi, would rather be considered a mute and suffocate from holding back his words than say such a thing again!
However, regret came too late when the moment arrived. Seeing the Wu Clan members appearing one after another, Donghuang Taiyi knew that it was too late to say anything.
"Alas, forget it, Taiyi. You'd best not speak anymore."
Di Jun was also helpless, his expression extremely grim. He issued a gag order to Donghuang Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he stopped short of saying anything, finally retreating silently behind Di Jun.
Enough, enough. His mouth was truly not suited for speaking today.
However, just because Donghuang Taiyi chose to remain silent didn't mean others would let him off the hook. The Golden-Winged Great Peng, for one.
"Haha! Donghuang Taiyi, weren't you enjoying yourself just now?"
"What? Are you scared now? Keep talking! What kind of bird hides behind his big brother?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng's taunts were full of sarcasm, striking Donghuang Taiyi's nerves.
Kong Xuan, hearing this, couldn't help but glance at his younger brother. It sounded as if he himself had never hidden behind Kong Xuan.
However, Kong Xuan didn't have the time to pay attention to his brother's antics.
The appearance of the Wu Clan had indeed changed the course of the battle. The Demon Clan had to face the Wu Clan, and thus couldn't spare hands to deal with them.
But Kong Xuan was still filled with worry, looking at Xu Fang.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, the Demon Clan has not been dealt with, and now the Wu Clan has appeared. What are we to do?"
Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi and the others looked at Xu Fang.
The Wu and Demon Clans were mortal enemies, eternally at odds. Now that the two clans had met, a life-and-death battle was inevitable.
However, the Wu Clan would not have appeared in this Eastern Sea region without reason. They must have a motive.
And at this moment, the greatest opportunity in this Eastern Sea region lay behind them, on Penglai Immortal Island.
Dealing with one Demon Clan had already been a struggle. Adding the Wu Clan made them feel powerless.
Facing the worries of Zhen Yuanzi and the others, Xu Fang looked relaxed, ready to comfort them.
However, before Xu Fang could speak, the Golden-Winged Great Peng beat him to it.
"Big brother, didn't you hear what the Wu Clan said earlier? They are here to repay the senior for retrieving their sacred artifact. They are on our side!"
Ao Xue also chimed in.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. I know about this. Don't be afraid!"
Back on Mount Buzhou, Senior Xu Fang had promised Houtu and the others his request, yielding the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow to them.
If they guessed correctly, the sacred artifact mentioned by the Wu Clan members must be this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Regardless of how the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow became a sacred artifact of the Wu Clan, it was certain that the Wu Clan had come to help them this time!
The Golden-Winged Great Peng's words were not spoken with any attempt to conceal them, and the surrounding great cultivators heard them, utterly shocked.
"So the Wu Clan's great mobilization here is not to contend for Penglai Immortal Island?"
"I thought the Wu Clan was also after Penglai Immortal Island. It seems now they are here to help Xu Fang protect Penglai Immortal Island?"
"This is unbelievable! How many forces has this Xu Fang secretly befriended!"
The great cultivators were greatly astonished. They had assumed the Wu Clan was an enemy of the Demon Clan, here to contest ownership of Penglai Immortal Island.
Now, hearing Xu Fang's younger brother speak, it seemed they had all been mistaken. The Wu Clan's presence this time was to aid Xu Fang!
Donghuang Taiyi, who had been provoked to his limits by the Golden-Winged Great Peng just now, couldn't help himself upon seeing the Golden-Winged Great Peng speaking about this.
"How is that possible! You great bird, do not spout such nonsense and spread rumors!"
Donghuang Taiyi refused to believe that the Wu Clan would muster such a large army not to contend for Penglai Immortal Island with the Demon Clan, but to help Xu Fang.
However, the one who responded to Donghuang Taiyi's doubt was not the Golden-Winged Great Peng, but another voice.
"How is it impossible? Fellow Daoist Xu Fang has bestowed a great kindness upon our Wu Clan. We are here precisely to assist Fellow Daoist Xu Fang!"
