Chapter 4501: The Witch Granny

Sky Witch City, Chaos Continent.

The city was filled with buildings, bustling with people and a constant stream of traffic. Many Witch Clan cultivators could be seen moving about, and there was a considerable number of Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

In a vast estate, a golden-robed old woman with a slightly pale face sat in a blue stone pavilion, her expression dignified. She was the Sky Witch Matron, an early-stage Grand Immortal.

A graceful young woman in a purple dress quickly approached, bowed, and said, "Grand Priest, a Fellow Daoist Ye has come to visit. She holds the Sky Witch Token you issued and says she has a request."

The Witch Clan is divided into multiple tribes, and the head of each tribe is known as a Grand Priest.

"The Sky Witch Token! I issued one many years ago, and it has never been returned. Since she has come knocking, bring her in!" the Sky Witch Matron instructed.

"Yes, Grand Priest." The young woman in the purple dress took her leave.

Not long after, she entered with an unremarkable young woman in a black dress.

"A Demon!" The Sky Witch Matron recognized the young woman's origin.

"This junior, Ye Lian, greets Senior Witch." The young woman in the black dress bowed. She was Ye Haitang, though she was not using her true appearance.

Wang Mengli and two others had captured Golden Flame Immortal Venerable and handed him over to Ye Haitang and Wang Qiulin. Wang Changsheng had given the Profound-grade Immortal Ship and the Sky Witch Token to Ye Haitang, instructing them to rush to Sky Witch City as quickly as possible to ask the Sky Witch Matron to use a curse to kill the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable.

The Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable had helped deduce Shen Ting's whereabouts, so Wang Changsheng naturally wouldn't be polite to him. Wang Changsheng had an Earth Witch Token, which could be used to invite a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage diviner to act. However, the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable had mastered the Law of Fate, and Yu Qiuying was a Grand Immortal. For caution's sake, it was better to ask the Sky Witch Matron to make a move.

"Where is the Sky Witch Token?" the Sky Witch Matron asked.

Ye Haitang quickly took out the Sky Witch Token and handed it to the Sky Witch Matron.

The Sky Witch Matron examined it carefully, nodded, and said, "That's right, it is indeed the Sky Witch Token I issued. Speak! What do you want me to do?"

"This junior wishes to ask Senior to employ the Law of Curse to curse and kill a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who has mastered the Law of Fate. This is the Nascent Soul of that person's biological brother." Ye Haitang took out an exquisite golden jade box and handed it to the Sky Witch Matron.

She had to clearly explain the target's situation to ensure the Sky Witch Matron could successfully cast the spell. Doing so carried a certain risk. Fortunately, they had made ample preparations; even if the Sky Witch Matron soul-searched Golden Flame Immortal Venerable's Nascent Soul, she wouldn't discover their true identities. Golden Flame Immortal Venerable was completely unaware and was entirely implicated by the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable. The Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable had previously helped against Wang Changsheng, so Wang Changsheng was now dealing with his brother.

"A Grand Unity Golden Immortal who has mastered the Law of Fate? They couldn't be a disciple of a Dao Ancestor, could they?" the Sky Witch Matron said with a frown.

"This junior can guarantee they are not a disciple of a Dao Ancestor; I wouldn't dare deceive Senior. This is a pot of Seven Stars Drunken Wine and a pot of Profound Soul Jade Liquid. Both are fourth-grade immortal wines; the former can refine immortal elemental energy, and the latter can strengthen the divine soul. This is a small token of my regard, please do not take offense. This junior is acting under orders, so please help, Senior." Ye Haitang took out three exquisite wine pots and said politely.

Wang Changsheng considered that the Sky Witch Matron might not be unwilling to help, so he had Ye Haitang bring a pot of Seven Stars Drunken Wine and a pot of Profound Soul Jade Liquid. If the Sky Witch Matron was unwilling to help, then they would have to settle for the next best option and find a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Witch Clan member for assistance.

"Fourth-grade immortal wines!" A hint of surprise flashed in the Sky Witch Matron's eyes. The other party's background was considerable; they could even produce fourth-grade immortal wines.

"I'll take back this Sky Witch Token, and I'll help with this request," the Sky Witch Matron said. After all, it was just a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; with her strength, cursing this person to death would be effortless.

"This junior has an impolite request. When Senior casts the spell, may I observe? I need to confirm that the person is dead; otherwise, I won't be able to report back to my Ancestor," Ye Haitang said.

"Ancestor?" The Sky Witch Matron pondered for a moment and agreed.

"Thank you, Senior. My Ancestor said that once he recovers, he will personally come to express his gratitude." Ye Haitang thanked her, though the mention of an "Ancestor" was merely a bluff.

The Sky Witch Matron nodded and said, "Come with me!" She rose and walked towards a small courtyard not far away, with Ye Haitang following closely.

Hidden Moon Island, Barren Immortal Domain.

In the Hidden Moon Hall, Yu Qiuying sat in the main seat, while Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch and Fang Yuyao sat on chairs, their expressions grave. The Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable and a graceful young woman in a blue dress stood to the side; the young woman was currently reporting the situation. The Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable wore a golden jade lock on his chest. The lock glittered, appearing quite extraordinary; it was the Calamity-Dispelling Lock, a high-grade immortal artifact capable of weakening the power of the Law of Curse.

Haotian Palace and Hidden Moon Palace had profound foundations, and with the abundant cultivation resources in the Barren Immortal Domain, they had managed to acquire a Calamity-Dispelling Lock and a third-grade immortal talisman, the Calamity-Expelling Talisman, both capable of weakening the Law of Curse.

"The female cultivator with the Nine Flames Marrow cannot be found, and the Golden Immortal cultivator who spread the news has also disappeared. The other party also possesses a powerful intelligence network; in a short period, they clarified Senior Brother Yang's situation and the cultivation resources Junior Brother Yang needed. It's truly terrifying," said Lan Qingqing, Head of the Intelligence Hall of Hidden Moon Palace.

Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch and Fang Yuyao had sought help from Hidden Moon Palace without much fanfare, so the outside world was unaware. There were many diviners in the Barren Immortal Domain, so how did the other party determine that Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch would seek help from the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable? Furthermore, how did they ascertain the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable's background in such a short time and then plan to capture Golden Flame Immortal Venerable? From these circumstances, it seemed the other party had a powerful intelligence network behind them.

"Where did he find such a powerful intelligence network in such a short time? It couldn't have been established temporarily! If it's an intelligence network that has existed for many years, with such high efficiency, then the force they belong to is definitely not an ordinary one," Fang Yuyao analyzed. The longer they engaged with the other party, the more troublesome they found them to be.

"Fortunately, we obtained a Calamity-Dispelling Lock and a third-grade immortal talisman, the Calamity-Expelling Talisman. Even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal employs one of the Ten Great Forbidden Curses, it will be difficult to kill Young Friend Yang," Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch said with a hint of relief.

"Let's hope so! I'm just worried he'll invite a Grand Immortal to make a move," Yu Qiuying made a bold guess.

"Lady Yu, you must be joking. Forget about a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; even for us, it's not easy to invite a Grand Immortal who has mastered the Law of Curse to act. Lady Yu thinks too highly..." Before Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch could finish speaking, the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable let out a scream, his face twisted in pain.

"Oh no! The Law of Curse! Quickly activate the Calamity-Dispelling Lock, and use the third-grade immortal talisman, the Calamity-Expelling Talisman, for protection!" Yu Qiuying commanded.

The Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable swiftly formed a hand seal, and the Calamity-Dispelling Lock instantly burst into golden light, with a golden light curtain appearing to protect his entire body. He then took out a silver-glowing talisman and slapped it onto himself. A silver light flashed, and a silver halo emerged, enveloping him in protection.

Seeing this scene, Yu Qiuying and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable let out an agonizing shriek, countless mysterious runes emerged on his body, and the golden light curtain and silver halo instantly vanished. The Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable fell, devoid of life.

Yu Qiuying and the other three were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

"The Soul Dissipation Curse! One of the Witch Clan's Ten Great Forbidden Curses! A Grand Immortal made a move!" Yu Qiuying spoke each word distinctly, her eyes blazing with fury. If looks could kill, Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch and Fang Yuyao would have died ten thousand times over.

"This is impossible! He could actually invite a Grand Immortal-stage cultivator to curse and kill Young Friend Yang?" Fiery Sun Immortal Monarch's face was filled with disbelief.
