Great Demon Sun Wukong

Chapter 836: Revised: Chapter 742 Battle Royal (Three)

Whether it was the Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned earlier by Master Tongtian or Hou Yi and Xing Tian who appeared later, they were all actually sacrifices. The true Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan and countless great witches had long died in the long history of battles in the Pangu Realm. Thus, the Witch Clan had long disappeared from the history of the Pangu Realm, becoming mere legends. Therefore, the current Twelve Ancestral Witches and the remaining great witches were all resurrected by that person using his methods. In other words, from the moment the Twelve Ancestral Witches were resurrected, their destiny was to sacrifice for someone. And when the Fallen Tomb opened, it was time for the Twelve Ancestral Witches to fulfill their mission.

So, in the two previous battles, Hou Yi’s actions were to escape, even if it meant sacrificing some people to save his own life. And now, after fighting the three Soul Devourers, Hou Yi received orders to flee again, leaving Kuafu to sacrifice himself to buy time for Hou Yi.

Moreover, Hou Yi and Kuafu’s sudden attack was actually just a test by that person. That person never expected, or completely anticipated, the existence of someone like the Soul Devourer in this world. The appearance of the Soul Devourer made that person’s mind active again, and if the Soul Devourer was truly as he appeared, that person’s plan might have an increased success rate by at least thirty percent. Hence, Kuafu’s sacrifice.
