Before long, Houtu Ancestral Witch descended before Qin Mu and Ancestor Minghe.
"Looks like... the time has come."
Qin Mu muttered to himself.
He knew full well that Houtu's return this time meant she had already settled matters within the Witch Clan.
What came next was the time for her to transform herself into the Six Paths Reincarnation.
Ancestor Minghe stared fixedly at Houtu.

Houtu froze for a moment. No longer concealing it, she answered directly:
"Fellow Daoist Minghe."
"My Dao lies within this Nether Blood Sea."
"So... I need you to relinquish the Blood Sea."

"What?"
Minghe cried out, his face filled with disbelief.

One had to know that this Blood Sea was his Dao Field.

As the saying went, as long as the Blood Sea did not dry up, Minghe would not die.
Even a Saint could do nothing to him within the Nether Blood Sea!
And now, Houtu was asking him to surrender
