Hun Xiu left.
The atmosphere at the scene became awkward.
Houtu had not expected Hun Xiu to leave just like that.
Hun Xiu was gone. What was she supposed to do?
Couldn't he have said a little more, coaxed her before leaving?
Houtu was troubled.
Leaving was not an option.
Staying was not an option either! Houtu felt rather embarrassed and conflicted.
Houtu gritted her teeth.
She looked at Eastern Sovereign Taiyi. "Eastern Sovereign Taiyi, I will reclaim today's humiliation. Just wait."
After delivering that threat.
Houtu chose to leave.
Houtu returned to the Netherworld. "That damned Haotian!"
Upon returning to the Netherworld, Houtu gnashed her teeth.
Whenever she thought of that fake Haotian's antics, unspeakable fury rose in her heart.
After Houtu returned to the Netherworld.
Her strength once again rose to that of a Saint.
If she faced the combined forces of Eastern Sovereign Taiyi, Ghost Chariot, and Nine Infants again, she could suppress them with a flick of her hand.
Those so-called Saints amounted to nothing before her.
Unfortunately...
She possessed that terrifying strength only within the Netherworld. Once she left it, she would soon be beaten back to her original state.
Houtu cursed under her breath.
Her breathtakingly beautiful face gradually became wrinkled, while her upright body slowly began to stoop.
The beautiful and captivating Houtu was no more.
In her place was the aged and faded Meng Po.
The more Houtu thought about it, the angrier she became.
"No, I need to make a trip to the Heavenly Court. I have leverage over him. I refuse to believe he won't listen."
Houtu prepared to leave the Netherworld again.
But she had only just reached its border.
When the terrifying power of the Earth Dao bounced her back.
Houtu was utterly bewildered.
"What is going on?"
