Who would have thought that after only a short while, the Twelve Ancestor Witches would descend from the sky, with Hou Tu even looking quite familiar with that human boy.
This sight nearly made Zhana and the others' eyes pop out.
Zhana's body trembled uncontrollably with excitement. "Hou Tu addressed him as Master Xuan just now."
"Could he be that Luo Xuan from the legends?"
"The Pill Ancestor of the human race?"
"I knew this kid had extraordinary bones and exceptional talent!"
"When did I ever hear you say that? Clearly, I was the one who said it!"
The group of Witch Clan members who had just thought Luo Xuan would lose to Ao Gu immediately changed their tune.
Under Hou Tu's intimidating authority, the Ancestor Witches also returned to normal one after another.
Seeing this, Hou Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief and said, "Ancestor Witch, Brother Luo has come to see you."
Hou Tu nodded in realization. "Then come with us."
Luo Xuan smiled. "There's no hurry."
He then turned around and said, "Uncle, thank you for your reminder just now. This is a small token of my appreciation. I'm giving it to you."
His voice passed through the wind and sand and instantly reached the ears of the Witch Clan members.
Then something flew out of Luo Xuan's hand—a delicate porcelain bottle.
Zhana opened it and found more than a dozen Earth Blood Body Tempering Pills inside!
Their quality was even better than the pills they usually swallowed!
The Witch Clan members beside Zhana immediately turned red-eyed.
After tossing out the pills, Luo Xuan left with the Twelve Ancestor Witches without even looking back.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches ahead, however, revealed smiles.
When they arrived at Pangu Temple, Hou Tu turned back to Hou Yi and said, "Watch outside. Don't let anyone in for now."
Hou Yi lowered his head and acknowledged the order, but a monstrous wave surged in his heart.
"The Ancestor Witch let Brother Luo enter Pangu Temple!"
In the hearts of all the Witch Clan members, Pangu Temple was an unparalleled holy land.
Even when someone came to visit the Witch Clan, the Ancestor Witches would only meet them outside.
Luo Xuan was the first outsider to enter Pangu Temple!
What Hou Yi didn't know was that the Witch Clan revered the strong, especially those who defeated them in the physical strength they excelled in.
Luo Xuan's physical strength had long since earned their recognition.
And Luo Xuan's act of giving them pills in return had also won the Ancestor Witches' approval of his character.
After entering Pangu Temple, Hou Tu said, "We still have to thank Master Xuan and the human race for your help over the years. Without your pills, the Witch Clan could never have suppressed the Demon Race."
"But what brings Master Xuan here today?"
After some polite exchanges, Hou Tu finally got to the point.
Luo Xuan said solemnly, "I came this time to inform the Witch Clan that the tribulation has arrived."
"The Demon Race has already found a way to break through the Witch Clan's physical bodies."
"What?!"
"Those beasts still refuse to give up!"
All the Ancestor Witches rose abruptly, their eyes filled with shock and fury.
Di Jiang looked at Luo Xuan. "How do you know?"
They still found it somewhat hard to believe.
The other Ancestor Witches also looked toward Luo Xuan, their gazes carrying scrutiny.
Their physical bodies had been formed from the bloodline of Father God Pangu. In the current Primordial World, who could possibly break through their bodies?
Luo Xuan said, "Human blood essence can restrain the Witch Clan's physical bodies. Recently, I returned to the human race and discovered that the Demon Race was monitoring them. They may make their move soon."
"The Witch Clan and the human race are grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Naturally, I have no reason to deceive the Ancestor Witches."
Luo Xuan's voice was calm, but every word rang out with force.
Hou Tu gazed deeply at Luo Xuan. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Thank you for informing us, Master Xuan. It was also our negligence today that we failed to protect the human race."
"We'll discuss it later and dispatch six Ancestor Witches along with a large number of Witch Clan members to Shouyang Mountain, ensuring that the human race won't be disturbed by the Demon Race."
Luo Xuan was delighted inwardly. As expected, talking to intelligent people saves me the trouble of wasting my breath.
After Luo Xuan left, Di Jiang looked at Hou Tu in confusion.
"Little Sister, Luo Xuan only said a few words, and you believed him so easily?"
"And why go to such lengths?"
Hou Tu looked at the Ancestor Witches around her, each of whom wore a puzzled expression, and said, "The Witch Clan has had no Nascent Soul since its birth."
"Although the Twelve Ancestor Witches possess Nascent Souls, they are innately incomplete. We cannot discern the will of Heaven and are easily manipulated by others."
"Although the human race is weak, it has its own peculiarities. Perhaps they learned of this matter somehow."
"There's no harm in taking precautions."
Hearing this, all the Ancestor Witches fell into thought.
Zhu Rong snorted softly. "Little Sister, let me go! I refuse to believe that those mongrel birds from the Heavenly Court would dare make a grand display for the sake of the human race."
Hou Tu's eyes lit up. Zhu Rong, who usually only knew how to fight, had actually volunteered.
But recalling Zhu Rong's personality, Hou Tu asked worriedly, "What if the Demon Race doesn't come?"
Zhu Rong chuckled. "Every grievance has its perpetrator. Whoever said it can answer for it!"
The one who had brought up this matter was Luo Xuan.
At the thought of Luo Xuan, the eyes of all the Ancestor Witches lit up.
"Little Sister, I'll go!"
"You're a piece of trash who can't even beat me. Let me go!"
Hou Tu's face darkened. She regretted why she had asked that question.
She had just been worried that the other Ancestor Witches would find excuses to shirk their duties.
But now she had to consider who should stay behind so that the trouble they caused would be smaller.
While the Twelve Ancestor Witches argued endlessly over the six candidates, Kunpeng manifested his true form in the Heavenly Court and swept across the sky. Only when he reached outside the main hall did he disperse his demonic body and hurry inside.
Kunpeng moved swiftly, unable to hide the delight on his face.
Around the golden throne carved with a three-legged Golden Crow at the highest point of the hall, endless True Sun Fire coiled like dragons.
On the throne, Di Jun slightly opened his mouth, and the countless fire dragons were swallowed into his stomach.
He slowly opened his eyes and happened to see Kunpeng walking in from outside.
"Lord Di Jun, I have good news!"
Di Jun showed neither joy nor sorrow, and nothing could be read from his expression. "What good news?"
Kunpeng was visibly excited. "This subordinate has finally found a way to break through the Witch Clan's physical bodies!"
The moment he finished speaking, Di Jun abruptly stood up and vanished from his original spot.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Kunpeng, looking imposing beneath his imperial robes.
Sharp rays of light flashed in Di Jun's eyes. "Is this true? What method?"
Kunpeng hurriedly said, "This subordinate recently discovered that the essence of the human race can pierce through the Witch Clan's physical bodies!"
"The human race again?" Di Jun narrowed his eyes.
Kunpeng cupped his hands and declared, "This subordinate confirmed it repeatedly before reporting it. There is absolutely no mistake!"
"Moreover, this subordinate has already found out that because of their repeated battles with our clan, fewer than one in ten of the Witch Clan's forces stationed at Shouyang Mountain remain!"
Di Jun threw back his head and laughed. "Good!"
A cold glint flashed through his eyes.
Whenever he recalled the previous deployment of troops to Shouyang Mountain, which had ended in a crushing defeat, Di Jun felt unable to swallow his anger.
By the time Ao Gu woke up, the sun was already slanting westward.
"Where's that human boy?"
Ao Gu's first words upon getting up were to ask about Luo Xuan.
Seeing Ao Gu rise, the Witch Clan member standing guard hurriedly helped him up. "Lord Ao Gu, he has already left."
"Left?" Disappointment appeared in Ao Gu's eyes.
But after a moment, Ao Gu rallied himself and said, "What an impressive human!"
"Someday, I'll definitely go to the human race and have a match with that kid."
Seeing Ao Gu's rekindled fighting spirit, the Witch Clan member beside him hesitated to speak.
He didn't dare tell Ao Gu that the human boy he was talking about was none other than the legendary Luo Xuan.
The human race's Pill Ancestor—the one who had created the Body Tempering Pills for the Witch Clan...
He dared even less to tell Ao Gu that Luo Xuan was also a friend of the Ancestor Witches.
By now, word had spread outside that he was even more like a member of the Witch Clan than the Witch Clan themselves.
Moreover, he had just come out of Pangu Temple—the place Ao Gu had dreamed of entering...
