In the video call, the spiritual treasures held their breath, watching the scene before them.
The enormous main hall loomed ahead, empty and desolate, arousing a quiet anticipation among the treasures.
However, after a long wait, the hall remained deserted and silent.
This impatience finally got to the spiritual treasures, who were eager for some drama.
"What's going on? Are you just going to make us stare at this hall until the end of time?"
"Yeah, where are the Ancestral Witches? Where are the Great Witches? Have the Wu clan all died off? Not even a shadow of them!"
"Shooting Sun Divine Bow, what are you doing?"
They couldn't understand why the hall was so empty. What was the Shooting Sun Divine Bow expecting them to see?
"This is the Pangu Great Hall, the highest sacred hall of the Wu clan. What do you think? Grand and magnificent, right?"
The Shooting Sun Divine Bow explained proudly.
"I am now enshrined here as a sacred artifact of the Wu clan. Isn't that impressive?"
As the Shooting Sun Divine Bow spoke, the camera suddenly zoomed out, revealing a resplendent divine bow vibrating below, clearly greeting everyone.
However, the treasures in the chat group were unimpressed.
"What the heck is this nonsense!"
"We want to see members of the Wu clan! We want to see the Ancestral Witches' reaction to the Celestial Court! Who cares about you, a formerly unknown divine bow!"
"Exactly, if you want to show off, don't show off to us. Go write your own book, 'My Years as a Sacred Artifact in the Wu Clan,' and stop wasting everyone's time!"
The Shooting Sun Divine Bow was taken aback.
"When I arrived at the Wu clan, I was enshrined here as a sacred artifact. I can't zoom out that far. What else can I show you but the Pangu Hall?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt utterly deceived and began to scold it vehemently.
"You scoundrel, selling dog meat under the guise of a sheep's head! What a waste of everyone's time!"
"Indeed. Stop showing off. You're just a pampered spiritual treasure, completely useless!"
"That's right! Let's all report and block it. We can't let such traffic-grabbing spiritual treasures get away with it!"
Seeing the treasures ganging up on the Shooting Sun Divine Bow, the Chasing Sun Boots, also a spiritual treasure of the Wu clan, quickly intervened.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop talking about it. It was locked in the Pangu Hall as soon as it arrived. It's quite pitiful."
"Okay, okay, you want to see what's happening with the Wu clan, right? I've had enough of Kuafu's sweaty feet. Let's find something to do!"
Xu Fang heard this and smiled faintly.
Didn't this Shooting Sun Divine Bow insist it wasn't the destined one and refuse him back then?
And now, it ended up with Empress Houtu in the Wu clan, only to be locked in the Pangu Hall. A lonely and isolated spiritual treasure, it deserved it!
It was only natural that the Shooting Sun Divine Bow, with its lingering aura of Pangu, was treated as a sacred artifact of the Wu clan.
However, being imprisoned like this was worse than following him freely in the Primordial Era.
With the Chasing Sun Boots speaking up, the Shooting Sun Divine Bow wisely retreated.
The Chasing Sun Boots directly leaped onto the main interface of the video call. After a brief shake, the camera began to scan the surroundings.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches appeared one by one, seated in a circle, with many Great Witches standing solemnly behind them.
Upon seeing this, the treasures praised it repeatedly.
"Good, good, this is what we wanted!"
"Chasing Sun Boots, you're much more useful than that so-called sacred artifact of the Wu clan!"
"Quiet, quiet, let's see what the Wu clan has to say."
The treasures quickly fell silent, listening intently to the words of the Wu clan members, eager to gauge their attitude towards the Celestial Court.
Xu Fang watched the scene unfold, feeling a sense of awe. The Wu clan's council seemed more formal than the Demon clan's, more like a proper meeting.
However, the atmosphere was not good. The Ancestral Witches all wore grim expressions, and the Great Witches remained silent, a sea of quiet.
After a long while, seeing that no one was speaking, Dijiang, the leading Ancestral Witch seated at the head, finally spoke.
"Let's discuss it. How should we resolve this matter of the Celestial Court?"
His words deepened the frowns of the Ancestral Witches, and the Great Witches exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
"If you ask me, why bother with all this? We are the true descendants of Pangu. What do we care about immortals or gods!"
One Ancestral Witch, unable to bear the silence, stood up abruptly and declared loudly.
"The Wu clan wants to contend for the Primordial World with us, and the Celestial Court wants to join the fray. Then, we fight!"
"Fight? With what?"
Another Ancestral Witch also stood up, looking at the first one and questioning him sharply.
"We are indeed the true descendants of Pangu, but currently, Hongjun is the foremost saint of heaven and earth. If we attack the Celestial Court, do you really think he will stand idly by?"
"Zhurong, you are dragging our Wu clan into danger! You are a sinner of the Wu clan!"
Zhurong, the first Ancestral Witch to speak, became furious at this reprimand.
"Gonggong, you are slandering me! I am also thinking for the sake of the Wu clan, yet you slap such a heavy accusation on me?"
"Come, come, I've had enough of you for a long time. Let's have a fight!"
As Zhurong spoke, flames erupted from his body, and he glared at Gonggong.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Come on!"
Gonggong was equally unyielding, displaying the principles of water dao all around him, glaring at Zhurong.
The two Ancestral Witches stared at each other angrily, their dao principles and laws manifesting around them, as if they were about to fight at any moment.
The treasures in the chat group became excited at this sight.
"The Wu clan is fierce! They act as soon as they decide, and instead of fighting outsiders, they fight amongst themselves first!"
"They say the Wu clan are simple-minded brutes, and it's true. At this rate, they might even clear the path for the Demon clan by provoking the Celestial Court."
"I wonder how they survive with so many internal conflicts."
The treasures marveled. The Celestial Court had just been established, and the Demon clan was lurking. Yet the Wu clan, instead of dealing with external threats, was already fighting amongst themselves?
At this rate, they might be finished with internal strife even before the Demon clan or the Celestial Court made a move.
The Chasing Sun Boots then introduced them.
"As you can see, these two are the Ancestral Witch of Fire in the South and the Ancestral Witch of Water in the North. They are in opposition, water and fire incompatible. These two have always found it difficult to coexist."
"Situations like this are common within the Wu clan. Don't worry, they won't actually fight."
As if on cue, just as Zhurong and Gonggong were on the verge of battle, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Enough! Are you going to quarrel endlessly? All of you, stop!"
