"Very well, Witch, you've actually chosen Yang Tian as your consort!"
The Continent Guardian said with resentment, then his figure flickered, and his soul vanished in mid-air.
Soon, everything around them fell into silence.
Yang Tian hovered in the air, unsure whether to continue drifting down to attack the Witch.
But the Holy Sword had already been taken by the Witch.
If he drifted down now, it would be seeking death.
"Take it..."
The Witch waved her hand, and the Holy Sword flew back.
Yang Tian reached out to grab the Holy Sword, ready to speak but hesitated.
"What now? Do you still want to kill me? If you want, then come and attack. If you can kill me, I'll let you do it!"
The Witch smiled gracefully.
Kill the Witch?
How is that possible?
Yang Tian couldn't attack the Witch even with the Golden Beast Array, let alone by himself!
Yang Tian shook his head, not lingering any longer as he flashed back to the cliff's edge, taking Wang Ying and the other two women, and flew away using the Gale Divine Talisman.
"Big brother, why are we leaving? I still want to chat with the big sister..."
Wang Yue was anxious.
"Shut up!"
Wang Ying quickly scolded.
Wang Yue pouted: "So annoying!"
Yang Tian ignored Wang Yue's dissatisfaction and continued moving into the depths of the forest with the three women.
As soon as they landed on the ground, they heard a screeching sound from the sky. A black Tianmao flew towards them, landing in front of Yang Tian and kneeling to show respect.
"What's going on?"
Yang Tian frowned.
This Tianmao is a Celestial Spirit Beast, why did it come here on its own?
"Yang Tian, this is a gift I give you!" The Witch's voice echoed from the air: "I used you and Yueyue to refine a magical treasure, but now I find you intriguing. In over two thousand years, no one has ever dared to break ties with me like you did; you're the first. So for now, I don't want you dead. This Tianmao is what you want, right? Then I'll give it to you!"
After saying this, the Witch's Spiritual Breath vanished without a trace.
"I told you, the big sister loves us; see, she sent us the Tianmao Beast!"
Wang Yue cheered continuously.
Yang Tian frowned.
Though the Witch personally delivered the Tianmao Beast, it didn't change his hostility towards her.
This Witch is powerful; she looks down on the likes of Yang Tian and his companions, so why would she suddenly change?
Moreover, the Witch is innately cunning. She previously used Yang Tian's feelings to refine magical treasures. If he forgets past injuries, the Witch will certainly use them again!
From this perspective, the Witch must be scheming something!
Since the Witch sent the Tianmao Beast, Yang Tian decided to accept it!
"Yingying, you tame this Tianmao Beast. That way, next time we encounter the Witch, you'll have the strength to fight back!"
Yang Tian said.
"Big brother, what are you doing? The big sister gave us the Tianmao Beast, and we're using it to fight against her?"
Wang Yue got anxious.
"That's one way!" Wang Ying nodded in agreement with Yang Tian's idea: "The Witch sent the Celestial Spirit Beast to us, so we can utilize it to resist the Witch!"
"You bad sisters, you're too evil, I'm telling the big sister!"
Wang Yue said angrily.
Smack!
Wang Ying slapped Wang Yue on the head: "Adults are talking, so keep quiet!"
Wang Yue was extremely upset and went off to sulk.
"Yingying, go ahead and tame the Celestial Spirit Beast now!"
Yang Tian instructed Ling Ying.
"Okay."
Ling Ying nodded, using her Divine Sense to probe into the Tianmao Beast, imprinting her Soul Seal on its soul.
Meow!
The Tianmao Beast let out a meowing sound, gently crouching at Ling Ying's feet, rubbing its head against her.
"Alright, now you three all have Guardian Beasts. This increases our safety; next time we face the Witch, if we can't defeat her, we can use the Demon Beast to escape!"
Yang Tian remarked.
"The big sister will surely get angry if she finds out!"
Wang Yue couldn't help warning.
"What are we afraid of? She already wants us dead, so naturally, we're not afraid to fight her!"
Wang Ying said nonchalantly.
Considering that the Witch is innately cunning, how could she truly be kind to everyone?
The Witch likely sent the Tianmao Beast just to achieve some purpose.
"President Wang is right, our path is different from the Witch's. The next time we meet, it'll be a real battle!" Yang Tian paused, then said, "Soon, the Witch will refine those four Celestial Spirit Beasts, then she'll open the entrance to the fifth-level continent. At that time, we'll seize the moment to find the Ghost Spirit Demon Beast!"
Finding the Ghost Spirit Demon Beast is Yang Tian's true goal this time.
As Yang Tian spoke, a rumbling thunder echoed in the sky.
Boom!
A crack appeared across the sky.
"The fifth-level continent has been breached!"
Yang Tian said, intending to lead the three women to fly into the passage. But at this moment, a figure appeared in mid-air, none other than the Continent Guardian.
Though the Continent Guardian's body was shattered, his soul remained.
As soon as he appeared, he stared fiercely at Yang Tian.
"Continent Guardian, why are you here?"
Yang Tian stopped.
"Yang Tian, who would have thought the Witch actually fancies you..."
The Continent Guardian said with a trace of indignation.
"A Witch is a Witch, we've been fooled once and won't be fooled again. Honestly, we've cut ties with the Witch, so why have you come to us, Continent Guardian?"
Yang Tian asked straightforwardly.
"We can use the Witch's affection for you to kill her!"
The Continent Guardian said gravely.
But what he said made Yang Tian frown.
Frankly, he didn't believe the Continent Guardian could fight the Witch.
The Witch's power is extremely terrifying, likely above the Soul Firmament Realm. And the Continent Guardian had his body shattered twice, so what could he use to fight?
Seeing Yang Tian's doubt, the Continent Guardian spoke: "This time will succeed because I want you to cultivate the Continent Master's Divine Technique!"
"Divine Technique? Continent Master?"
Wang Ying frowned, full of questions.
"Yes, the Continent Master's Divine Technique!"
The Continent Guardian nodded.
"Aren't you the guardian of this continent?"
Yang Tian hastily asked.
Honestly, his interest was piqued.
"I am indeed the guardian of this continent, but the Continent Master is someone else. Over two thousand years ago, he was Nuwa's inheritor, who created this Ninefold Heaven. If he were here, no matter how terrifying, the Witch wouldn't be her match. Unfortunately, he ascended to immortality and is no longer here!"
The Continent Guardian's words astonished Yang Tian and the others.
The Ninefold Heaven was not a natural wonder but man-made?
How powerful must Nuwa's Inheritor be?
A Nuwa's Inheritor that has lived for over two thousand years!
If this got out, it would surely cause an uproar in Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm.
"Grandpa, what Divine Technique did Nuwa's Inheritor leave behind?"
Wang Yue was anxious.
If such a person existed, it would be troublesome for the big sister. If the big brother mastered this Divine Technique, wouldn't it mean the big sister would be defeated?
Thinking of this, Wang Yue felt like an ant on a hot pan, frantic.
"Nuwa's Inheritor created the Ninefold Heaven and left a Divine Technique. Mastering this technique can instantly annihilate the Witch!" The Continent Guardian's face was extremely cold: "So what if the Witch is a being of the Soul Firmament Realm? She is merely a being of this continent, while the Divine Technique left by Nuwa's Inheritor can obliterate her in no time!"
