Houtu Summons

Chapter 28: Houtu Summons

"Great Wu Kuafu, are we still sparring?"

In the side hall.

Shen Gui stood there, looking at Kuafu, who sat on the ground with a look of utter despair, and asked with concern.

Around the hall, a group of Great Wus stood dumbfounded.

Speaking of which, was this considered sparring?

This was clearly a one-sided thrashing!

Great Wu Kuafu had been nothing but a punching bag from beginning to end.

Only Xing Tian leaned against the wall, looking as calm as ever, his eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Thinking about it, although he felt stifled when he was the one fighting, it was much more satisfying to watch someone else get beaten now.

With that thought, Xing Tian couldn't help but sidle up to Hou Yi: "Brother Hou Yi, Brother Kuafu seems finished. Why don't you give it a try too? Maybe you can beat Brother Shen Gui."

Speaking of which, among the Houtu Tribe's three top Great Wus, only Hou Yi hadn't been beaten by Shen Gui yet.

Hou Yi gave Xing Tian a helpless look.

With Kuafu's example right in front of him, did he think he was stupid?

Meanwhile, in the middle of the side hall, upon hearing Shen Gui speak, Kuafu waved his hands repeatedly: "No more fighting, no more fighting. I can't break through your defense at all, what's the point of fighting?"

As he spoke, Kuafu looked dejected.

He finally understood why Xing Tian couldn't beat Shen Gui.

With this kind of defense, what was there to fight against!

Seeing Kuafu's crestfallen appearance, the other Great Wus couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Kuafu said irritably, "What are you laughing at? Whoever laughs again won't get any of my wine next time!"

Upon hearing this, many Great Wus immediately suppressed their laughter.

Kuafu's wine was a specialty of the Houtu Tribe.

However, even so, a few Great Wus couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

And so, everyone left the side hall amidst laughter and joy.

However, they were unaware that deep within the side hall, a woman dressed in a goose-yellow palace gown had watched the entire scene from beginning to end.

"Mysterious Yellow Qi? What an interesting little fellow."

Watching the backs of Shen Gui and the Great Wus as they left, the woman murmured.

Perhaps the Great Wus didn't understand what the fleeting mysterious yellow light was when Shen Gui's physical body was activated, but the woman recognized it.

For she was one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches born from Pangu's essence blood, Ancestor Witch Houtu.

However, Mysterious Yellow Qi was invulnerable to all magic and indestructible through all tribulations. It only appeared when merit reached its peak. In Houtu's memory and inheritance, as far as she knew, apart from the three-tenths of the Pangu's merit that condensed into the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda during Pangu's creation of the heavens, there had been no other instance in the world where merit had condensed into Mysterious Yellow Qi.

Now, traces of Mysterious Yellow Qi had appeared on Shen Gui. It was highly likely that it was related to the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

However, Houtu only thought this far.

Regardless of Shen Gui's connection to the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, or whether the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was on Shen Gui, she had no other intentions.

Since it was related to the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, it was inevitably related to Pangu.

As descendants of Pangu, how could they do such a thing?

It was just...

As if thinking of something, Houtu frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, her lips moved, as if she were saying something.

At the same time, Shen Gui and the Great Wus had already walked out of the side hall, but they had not yet returned to the bonfire.

Except for Kuafu's dejection, everyone else was grinning, seeing Kuafu like this.

After all, as one of the Houtu Tribe's three top Great Wus, they had never seen Kuafu so disheartened before.

Especially Xing Tian, who had an arm around Kuafu's neck, seemingly comforting him: "I say, Brother Kuafu, don't be discouraged. Even I couldn't beat Brother Shen Gui, so it's normal for you to lose."

Hearing this, even the dejected Kuafu couldn't help but glare at Xing Tian: "Get lost! What do you mean, 'even I couldn't beat him, so it's normal for me to lose'? As if you could beat me."

Seeing Kuafu and Xing Tian bickering, the other Great Wus were reminded of Kuafu being beaten earlier and couldn't help but laugh again.

Xing Tian, upon hearing Kuafu's words, was about to retort, but then his expression changed slightly, a strange look on his face.

Seeing Xing Tian suddenly stop walking, everyone was stunned.

Hou Yi asked, "Brother Xing Tian, what's wrong?"

However, Xing Tian did not answer Hou Yi. Instead, he looked at Shen Gui with a strange expression: "Brother Shen Gui, Ancestor Witch Houtu wants to see you."

This immediately stunned all the Great Wus.

Shen Gui even flinched: "Ancestor Witch Houtu wants to see me? Great Wu Xing Tian, you must be mistaken, right? I don't even know Ancestor Witch Houtu, why would she want to see me out of the blue?"

"How would I know?" Xing Tian said. "Ancestor Witch Houtu personally sent me a message, telling me to bring you to see her. How could there be a mistake?"

At this, the other Great Wus all looked at Shen Gui with curiosity.

They also wanted to know what was so special about this brother Shen Gui that Ancestor Witch Houtu, who basically never left seclusion, would look upon him with favor and even summon him specifically?

It should be known that even for them, Great Wus of the Houtu Tribe, they rarely saw Houtu.

Hearing Xing Tian, Shen Gui considered it and felt that escaping from the Houtu Tribe seemed unrealistic, so he could only back down.

"Since Ancestor Witch Houtu has summoned me, I will go with Great Wu Xing Tian."
