Kuafu had arrived without warning.
Xiao Ran's eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.
They said you never visited the Three Treasures Hall without a reason!
The tribe Kuafu belonged to was located at the Witch Race's headquarters beneath Buzhou Mountain.
But Xiao Ran's tribe was deep in the Demon Race's territory.
The distance between them was more than a hundred million miles!
Kuafu couldn't possibly have come all this way today just to invite him to drink and feast, and reminisce about old times!
Something bad was definitely about to happen!
Xiao Ran had only rested for a single day after the battle against the Demon Race.
And even that day had been spent cultivating!
Could it be that Kuafu had once again received Houtu's orders and was here to send him off to fight the Demon Race?
If that was really the case...
Then he was truly screwed!
After grumbling to himself for a while, Xiao Ran still smiled and cupped his hands toward Kuafu. "Fellow Daoist Kuafu, what brings you here today?"
Kuafu laughed heartily. "I heard your strength has improved! I came specially to see for myself!"
"Tell me honestly. Have you really gotten stronger?"
Xiao Ran smiled faintly. "Of course!"
Kuafu looked astonished. "What kind of cultivation technique did you use to get stronger?"
"Why didn't you tell me, Kuafu?"
"Don't you consider me your brother?"
Xiao Ran wore an awkward, helpless expression.
He had awakened his system and gained strength only a few days ago.
During that time, he had either been fighting the Demon Race or cultivating in his cave abode.
When would he have had time to visit Kuafu?
But after thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran came up with a good idea.
Right now, he was considering how to spread Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength throughout the entire Witch Race.
That way, he could improve the overall strength of the Witch Race.
Now that Kuafu had come, it was perfect!
He could use Kuafu's influence to spread Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength throughout the Houtu Tribe.
From there, the Houtu Tribe's influence could help it gradually spread throughout the entire Witch Race.
That would hardly be difficult!
Xiao Ran smiled faintly. "I've been cultivating a technique that lets you condense your True Body in a single step!"
"Any member of our tribe can cultivate it!"
Kuafu looked enlightened and narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that your tribesmen's strength increased so much because they cultivated this Qi Skill?"
Xiao Ran exhaled. "That's right!"
Kuafu was tempted!
A few days ago, Xiao Ran's tribe had a million ordinary Witch Soldiers.
Now, hundreds of thousands of them had successfully broken through to become Lesser Witches!
If the technique Xiao Ran had mentioned were spread throughout the Houtu Tribe...
Then the Houtu Tribe would become the most outrageously powerful force in the entire Witch Race!
Kuafu rolled his eyes. "You're really not being fair, kid!"
"You had such a good technique and kept it to yourself!"
"We fought side by side against the Demon Race. When you were in danger, didn't I risk my life carrying you out through millions of Demon Army soldiers?"
"Have you forgotten all that?"
Xiao Ran chuckled. "You, Kuafu, are my closest brother!"
"I've always kept that in mind. How could I forget?"
"Don't worry. Just say the word, and I'll gladly give you the technique for free!"
Kuafu shook his head without saying a word.
His relationship with Xiao Ran really could be called the closest of friends!
They were both Great Witches of the Houtu Tribe.
For thousands of years, they had fought side by side, killing countless Demon Race creatures!
They had also achieved countless glorious victories!
If Xiao Ran were an ordinary Great Witch...
Kuafu would have taken the technique without hesitation!
But Xiao Ran was different!
Everyone in the Witch Race knew that Xiao Ran might one day become the Witch Race's thirteenth Ancestor Witch!
He couldn't take something from Xiao Ran for free!
Otherwise, if Xiao Ran really became an Ancestor Witch one day...
Kuafu would regret it for sure!
With that thought, Kuafu waved his hand. "No! I can't take your technique for free!"
"How about this? Once the Innate Blood Peaches growing in my tribe ripen, I'll give you half of them!"
Xiao Ran replied without a moment's hesitation. "Good!"
"In that case, I'll accept your offer!"
As if he'd pass up such a rare treasure!
There was no reason for Xiao Ran to miss out on these Innate Blood Peaches!
To other races, these peaches might be nothing special.
But to every member of the Witch Race, they were irresistible!
Eating a single peach could purge all impurities and filth from a Witch Race creature's body.
It could also temper the body and greatly increase its strength!
They were a coveted treasure in the eyes of every member of the Witch Race!
The Kuafu Tribe had nearly a million peaches about to ripen.
Half of them would be around five hundred thousand peaches!
Xiao Ran would naturally accept such a windfall!
Once they had agreed, Xiao Ran seized the opportunity and held nothing back as he taught Kuafu every detail of Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength!
After studying the technique for a while, Kuafu's eyes lit up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha! With this divine technique protecting our Witch Race..."
"How could we ever fail to destroy the entire Demon Race?"
It was a long while before Kuafu finally calmed down.
He exhaled. "I got so caught up in the excitement that I almost forgot why I came!"
Xiao Ran's body tensed slightly, and his eyebrows rose!
Just what he'd feared!
The Witch Race was always like this!
They were either fighting or on their way to a fight!
Having even a brief moment of leisure was nothing but a pipe dream!
Xiao Ran spoke up. "Go on! What is it?"
Kuafu's expression turned grave. "Your tribe is deep in the Demon Race's territory!"
"According to Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin, there's a large Demon Race tribe north of yours!"
"They're called the Hou Clan!"
"The Hou Clan is one of the Demon Race's core forces!"
