Chapter 574 -574: Paths Diverge, No Common Ground for Schemes (Fourth Update!)
“An altar? I don’t know! Could it be that Jiu Feng built this for cultivation?”
The Mosquito Daoist blinked; he truly hadn’t discerned the purpose of this altar. However, as it was built within Jiu Feng Mountain, Jiu Feng must definitely know about it, but where had Jiu Feng gone?
“This is an altar used to open a communication channel between the Two Realms and the Demonic Realm!”
Sun Wukong let out a cold laugh, “You’re correct, it was indeed constructed by Jiu Feng. Otherwise, how could she communicate with Demon Ancestor Lou Hu?”
“Demon Ancestor Lou Hu?”
A gleam flashed through Demon God Bai Ze’s eyes, “Are you saying Jiu Feng has contact with Demon Ancestor Lou Hu? What kind of agreement did they reach? Where is Jiu Feng right now?”
From the sound, one could discern the intent. Sun Wukong had appeared here, yet there was no trace of Jiu Feng. Demon God Bai Ze already sensed that something was amiss, coupled with the massive energy fluctuation from earlier. Could it be that it was emitted from Sun Wukong clashing with Jiu Feng?
“Jiu Feng did indeed reach an agreement with Demon Ancestor Lou Hu and betrayed the Demon Cult!”
Sun Wukong flipped his palm, and a flag appeared in his hand, which was none other than the Ancestral Witch Flag, “Just now, she collaborated with the spies of the Demon Race to capture Jiang Liu’er, intending to take him to the Demonic Realm. Old Sun pursued her all the way here and fought a big battle with her. I snatched this from her hand—it can summon the true forms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!”
As he spoke, Sun Wukong patted the replica Qiankun Bag at his waist, and a beam of light shot out, revealing the body of the Great Witch Jiu Feng. However, at this moment, Jiu Feng was barely breathing, her seriously injured body unable to move even an inch.
“Jiu Feng!”
Demon God Bai Ze’s face darkened immediately. He squatted down to check Jiu Feng’s condition. Her bones were shattered, her origin completely dispersed, barely clinging to life with heavy injuries. A surge of anger uncontrollably rose from the depths of his heart, and he abruptly stood up, fixing Sun Wukong with a cold glare, “Was it you who did this?”
“That’s right, it was Old Sun!”
Sun Wukong straightforwardly nodded in admission, “She showed no mercy and struck with lethal intent. Why should Old Sun hold back? What, Bai Ze, do you want to seek revenge for this traitor?”
“On what grounds do you call Jiu Feng a traitor?”
A chilling light exploded in Demon God Bai Ze’s eyes. Among the four titans of the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, his relationship with the Great Witch Jiu Feng was the best. He had even harbored thoughts of taking her as his Taoist companion. If not for the Great Witch Jiu Feng’s strong-willed nature, constantly fixated on reviving the Witch Race, they might already have become a couple. Seeing Jiu Feng injured so gravely now, a wave of fierceness in Demon God Bai Ze’s heart rose unprecedentedly.
“She admitted it herself!”
Sun Wukong coldly chuckled, “The boundless catastrophe has arrived, and you all have each proven the Tao and become saints in succession. Only Jiu Feng has been unable to break through. Unable to accept this outcome, she chose to betray the Demon Cult and reached an agreement with Demon Ancestor Lou Hu. She worked for Demon Ancestor Lou Hu, disregarding the interests of the whole Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult, all for the promise from Demon Ancestor Lou Hu to help her prove the Tao! After Old Sun exposed her, instead of repenting, she viciously attempted to kill me. If she isn’t a traitor, then what is she?”
“Sun Wukong!”
Demon God Bai Ze emphasized his tone, enunciating Sun Wukong’s name word by word, ready to burst out and strike at any disagreement. Seeing that the situation was not right, the Mosquito Daoist quickly stepped forward to intervene, “Calm down, calm down. Let’s clarify what actually happened before we proceed!”
“Fine, I would like to see how this Great Sage Equalling Heaven justifies himself!”
The Demon God Bai Ze snorted coldly, bent down to feed the Great Witch Jiu Feng two Immortal Pills, and simultaneously infused his own strength into Jiu Feng’s body to help expel the rampaging Staff Force still within her.
Sun Wukong watched the Demon God Bai Ze with a disdainful sneer, “Those of different paths do not scheme together. You are clearly aware it was Jiu Feng’s fault, yet you reprimand others due to personal emotions and even show no respect for me, the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Cult. We have no need for such people in our cult!”
“I, Old Sun, have already made myself clear. It’s all up to you whether to believe me or not. If not for the fact that she is the last remaining Great Witch of the Witch Race, I, Old Sun, would have directly taken action just now!”
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes at the Demon God Bai Ze, “I, Old Sun, conduct my affairs so that my conscience is clear. Jiu Feng once helped Flower-Fruit Mountain, so I, Old Sun, spared her life. But her betrayal is a fact. Such a person, we from the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult will never retain. Whether you believe it or not, I, Old Sun, am done talking! Bai Ze, I speak so much only out of respect for you as my senior. If you are still not satisfied, then let’s draw a line between us, I, Old Sun, am ready to accompany you to the end!”
“Wukong my brother, why not talk it over nicely? Why make it so tense?”
Seeing the scene looking tense and filled with the smell of gunpowder, as though a great battle could erupt at any moment, Mosquito Daoist hurriedly tried to mediate from the sidelines, but it seemed to no avail.
The Demon God Bai Ze saw Jiu Feng severely wounded, his anger had completely clouded his judgment, not caring about right or wrong, only wanting to vent his anger on Sun Wukong. And Sun Wukong was not someone to be trifled with either, as someone who didn’t take a single step back against three Heavenly Dao Saints before, let alone the recently breakthrough Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint like the Demon God Bai Ze?
“Good, very good!”
After glancing at Jiu Feng, severely wounded in his arms, the Demon God Bai Ze still managed to suppress the urge to strike immediately, knowing that Sun Wukong was mighty and he didn’t have absolute confidence in winning, not to mention that Mosquito Daoist had always been on good terms with Sun Wukong. If a fight broke out, he would certainly side with Sun Wukong, making it impossible for Bai Ze to take on both. And Jiu Feng’s severe injuries required a swift recovery.
“Sun Wukong, from this day forth, I, Bai Ze, will leave the Demon Cult. If we meet again in the Three Realms, we shall be enemies, not friends. Take care of yourself!”
After baring his teeth, the Demon God Bai Ze gave Sun Wukong a profound look, holding the severely wounded Great Witch Jiu Feng, and rose into the air, breaking through the Barrier and flying towards the heavens.
“I, Old Sun, am ready to accompany you to the end!”
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, his voice carrying far to the Demon God Bai Ze, “The Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing is my Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult’s territory; I give you three days to leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me, Old Sun, for being impolite!”
“This…”
Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen watched the scene unfold, and couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “Wukong my brother, why must you do this?”
“Those of different paths do not scheme together!”
Sun Wukong saw no issue with his decision to expel the Demon God Bai Ze.
Yes! The Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult might lose a Heavenly Dao Saint and potentially gain a powerful enemy. But what then? Keeping such a backstabbing scoundrel would certainly pose a far greater danger than expelling him!

Flower-Fruit Mountain is not short of experts; the Demon Cult needs brothers who can share life and death and weather storms together—not arrogant traitors who might turn their blades on us at any moment!
As for the likes of the Demon God Bai Ze, Sun Wukong would not feel the slightest pain even if a few more left!
