"Luo Hu?"
The Ancestral Dragon and the other two narrowed their eyes and suddenly looked toward the void Tang Xuan was watching.
"???"
Luo Hu was startled.
Wait, how did you know I was hiding here? That's impossible.
"I control the Demonic Path. The Demonic Path is naturally adept at concealment. How did you know?"
Since he had been discovered, Luo Hu stopped hiding and stepped out of the void. His voice was low as he looked at Tang Xuan in uncertainty.
"If you want to know, then you can know."
Tang Xuan smiled faintly.
"...6."
Luo Hu.
You're really good at pretending!
However, because of his preconceived impression, the fact that even those three arrogant fellows—the Ancestral Dragon and the others—treated Tang Xuan with such respect, and the fact that Tang Xuan had seen through his hiding place at a glance, Luo Hu did not act rashly or arrogantly.
He wasn't stupid!
Even acting arrogant depended on who he was acting arrogant toward.
"Luo Hu greets Dao... Senior."
He had originally intended to address Tang Xuan as a fellow Daoist, but after seeing the unfriendly looks from the Ancestral Dragon and the others, Luo Hu decisively changed his form of address.
"If you want to strike back at Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, your strength alone is insufficient. Luo Hu is the best candidate for you to join forces with."
"You can settle your grudges with Luo Hu after dealing with Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao. Before that, you need to join forces with Luo Hu."
Tang Xuan glanced at Luo Hu, then turned his gaze back to the leaders of the Three Tribes. As he spoke, he pointed at Luo Hu.
Hearing Tang Xuan's words, the leaders of the Three Tribes' eyes flickered, and thoughtful expressions appeared on their faces.
"What exactly is going on? What is the situation!?"
Seeing that Tang Xuan and the Ancestral Dragon's group were ignoring him, Luo Hu couldn't help speaking up.
Then, nothing happened.
Nobody paid him any attention.
"#￥...&*()."
Luo Hu was itching with curiosity and desperately wanted to know the truth. He couldn't help sending a voice transmission to the Ancestral Dragon, hoping the Ancestral Dragon would explain things to him.
He had only wanted to figure out what was going on with the Three Tribes. Who could have known he would encounter this scene? Even as the Demon Ancestor, he couldn't withstand it. It was far too strange, and he was incredibly curious.
Ancestral Dragon: (￢_￢).
Want to know?
Heh.
The Ancestral Dragon smiled faintly.
"..."
Luo Hu.
After giving Luo Hu the cold shoulder, the Ancestral Dragon thought about it and decided to reveal a little information. They would still need to cooperate later, so ignoring him entirely would not be appropriate.
Besides... the Ancestral Dragon also wanted to know what kind of expression Luo Hu would make after learning that he was Hongjun's pawn. It would surely be quite spectacular.
"This is River God Senior. You don't need to concern yourself with who he is. You only need to know that he is mysterious and omnipotent. He was the one who told us about your schemes against us. He can... see the future!"
"If you want to know more, take out a treasure and go through the same process we just did. Then you'll naturally understand."
The Ancestral Dragon transmitted a general explanation of the situation.
"See the future?"
Luo Hu's first reaction was that it was nonsense.
What the hell are you bragging about?
Not to mention that the Heavenly Secrets were in chaos during this great tribulation—even if they weren't, given the level of the Primordial World, even a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't dare claim to be able to see the future. Could this mysterious River God really do it?
Even when I was a Chaos Demon God, I wouldn't have dared guarantee such a thing!
However, the reactions of the Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin already represented everything. Luo Hu had no choice but to believe it.
After hesitating briefly, Luo Hu thought it over, turned his palm, took out the twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, and tossed it into the river.
You can see the future, right? Then I'll see what this is all about. If you dare deceive me... Heh, I, Luo Hu, am no pushover!
"Young Luo Hu, did you throw in the white twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus on the left, or the golden twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus on the right?"
As Luo Hu tossed in the World-Destroying Black Lotus, Tang Xuan flipped both hands. A white-glowing World-Destroying Black Lotus and a golden-glowing World-Destroying Black Lotus appeared in his palms. Looking at Luo Hu, Tang Xuan asked with a beaming smile.
"...The left one."
Luo Hu's lips twitched as he answered strangely.
"Congratulations. You passed the test."
"What you want to know is information about yourself?"
Tang Xuan dispersed the projections and spoke with a beaming smile.
"Yes. Sorry for the trouble, Senior. Please tell me whether I won the Dao-Devil War."
Luo Hu cast aside his distracting thoughts and spoke with a blazing gaze.
"You lost."
Tang Xuan shook his head, then added, "You lost miserably. You even lost your physical body and were forced to transform into the Demon Realm just to survive. Moreover, you'll be trapped in the Demon Realm forever, suppressing the land of the Primordial World."
"???"
Luo Hu.
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
The Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin couldn't hold back their laughter.
They only knew their own fates; they had no idea what Luo Hu's fate would be.
They had originally thought Luo Hu might have fared better. But this was it?
You schemed against us and so many others, only to end up sharing our fate? Tsk, tsk.
"..."
Luo Hu.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Luo Hu couldn't believe it, and fierce killing intent almost appeared in his eyes.
Tang Xuan simply said, "Please watch the VCR," and directly presented the outcome of the Dao-Devil War according to the plot of a Primordial Era genre novel.
When Luo Hu saw Hongjun appear after he blood-sacrificed the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, he wasn't surprised.
When he saw Hongjun arrive with the three ancestors to stop him, Luo Hu was still able to remain calm.
When he saw the four of them enter the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation after he set it up, and the three ancestors were ultimately forced to self-detonate by Hongjun's schemes to break the formation, Luo Hu's expression changed subtly.
Then, there was no then.
He stopped watching. There was no need to continue.
With his mentality shattered, Luo Hu immediately asked, "Senior, even if Hongjun broke the formation, even if Hongjun's cultivation was at the Half-step Primordial Realm, I still couldn't possibly lose."
"What if the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun joined forces?"
Tang Xuan spoke lightly.
"Joined forces? How could the Heavenly Dao possibly interfere in living beings' affairs?"
Luo Hu didn't believe it.
"What if Hongjun had long been appointed as a Heavenly Dao Sage?"
Tang Xuan asked again.
The Heavenly Dao couldn't interfere with living beings, but what could Hongjun do if he had already been appointed as a Heavenly Dao Sage?
The Heavenly Dao couldn't attack directly, but it could provide Hongjun with assistance!
"..."
Luo Hu fell silent.
"Are you thinking that you had not failed to guard against the Heavenly Dao? That you had already set up a formation over the Western spiritual vein, which could be detonated at a critical moment to leave the Heavenly Dao too busy to interfere?"
"If it had only been Hongjun, detonating the Western spiritual vein would indeed have had some effect. But Hongjun went with Five Elements Ancestor, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Ancestor Qiankun. Would your precautions still have been useful?"
"Moreover, Hongjun had been completely aware of your schemes from beginning to end. With him plotting against you while you were unaware, do you think you could win?"
Tang Xuan spoke leisurely.
Tang Xuan had learned that Hongjun brought three ancestors through Foreknowledge of the Future. He had to admit that this ability was genuinely useful. Otherwise, there were too many versions of the Primordial World, and who knew whether Yang Mei had gone with them as well? This way, he could avoid a disastrous mistake.
"..."
Luo Hu's expression shifted between gloomy and furious, and his mentality collapsed.
Especially when he saw the smiles on the faces of the Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin growing increasingly pronounced, Luo Hu became even angrier.
Before you continue
