Though he grumbled inwardly, Xiao Ran still calmly bowed to Houtu. "Ancestor Witch Houtu!"
"What brings you here?"
Houtu rolled her eyes. "You, you never do your proper work. What use is there in messing around with all these Formations?"
"Our Witch Race has always survived through strength and dominated the Primordial World through strength! We have no need for these unorthodox tricks!"
"If you have time, you should spend it sparring and training with Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and the others!"
"Wouldn't that be better than neglecting your proper work like this?"
Xiao Ran gave a bitter smile and quickly replied, "Ancestor Witch, you're wronging me by saying that!"
"For thousands of years, I've followed the Witch Race into battle everywhere, slaying countless members of the Yao Race!"
"In terms of battle achievements, I'm no less accomplished than Hou Yi and Xing Tian!"
"How is that neglecting my proper work?"
A smile appeared on Houtu's face.
She was about to give Xiao Ran a stern talking-to, but suddenly her smile froze, and she stood there stunned!
She grabbed Xiao Ran's hand and carefully sensed him.
Then her eyes widened in shock. "Why have you suddenly broken through to the Great Witch realm?"
"And why have your bloodline and talent changed as well?"
"I can even sense a trace of Pangu Father God's origin aura in you!"
"Tell me the truth! Was the phantom of Pangu Father God that suddenly appeared in the Void just now connected to you?"
Xiao Ran's eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.
He hadn't expected the commotion caused by his fusion with the Pangu Origin Talent to be so great!
It had even manifested a phantom of Pangu in the Void!
Did that mean the Primordial Beings had all noticed this strange phenomenon?
Before his strength reached an absolutely heaven-defying level, Xiao Ran couldn't let his secret be exposed!
Thinking this, Xiao Ran scratched his head and smiled blankly. "I don't know what happened either!"
"I was cultivating just now when my body suddenly started to feel hot!"
"Then everything went black. When I opened my eyes again, I'd broken through!"
"Maybe I was just born with exceptional talent..."
Houtu couldn't be bothered to listen to him ramble on.
She simply waved her hand and took Xiao Ran away from the cave!
"Come with me to the Pangu Temple!"
"This matter is far too strange. We should let our senior brothers and sisters decide what to do!"
In the Void, Houtu spoke to Xiao Ran with a sweet smile.
Pangu Temple.
Houtu and Xiao Ran suddenly appeared in the main hall.
Di Jiang and the other Ancestor Witches looked utterly puzzled.
They had sent Houtu to investigate why a phantom of Pangu had suddenly appeared in Witch territory.
So why had she brought along a Great Witch from her tribe?
The Ancestor Witches glanced at Xiao Ran with strange expressions.
Then their eyes all widened, their pupils practically round with shock.
They could actually sense a trace of Pangu Father God's origin aura in Xiao Ran!
What shocked them even more was this:
Xiao Ran had been a Golden Immortal before. How had he broken through to the early stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal after only a few days?
His bloodline and talent had also become incomparably different!
They had improved by an unknown number of times compared to before!
He even seemed to be catching up to them, the Ancestor Witches!
The Great Witches of the Witch Race had all been born from the fusion of the Twelve Ancestral Witches' blood essence.
There were several hundred of them.
The Ancestor Witches paid no attention to ordinary Great Witches.
The reason they knew Xiao Ran so well
was simply that this kid was far too unusual!
Witch Race members were all broad and burly, with the fierce appearance of rough brutes.
Only Xiao Ran stood out from the crowd.
He had fair skin, red lips, and white teeth, and was exceptionally handsome.
Xiao Ran was originally supposed to belong to the Zhurong Tribe.
Perhaps because the kid was too dazzling,
Zhu Rong had feared that he would steal the limelight.
He had actually refused to accept Xiao Ran into his tribe.
If Houtu hadn't stepped in and claimed Xiao Ran,
he might have become the first member of the Witch Race ever rejected by an Ancestor Witch!
The Ancestor Witches stared at Xiao Ran with gleaming eyes, wearing feverish smiles as they crowded toward him with ill intent.
"Hahaha! Let me see just what makes you so special, boy!"
Di Jiang took the lead. Laughing heartily, he reached out with his thick, powerful hand and gave Xiao Ran's face a hard pinch.
The other Ancestor Witches followed his example.
They laughed without restraint and surrounded Xiao Ran.
Then they started groping him all over, searching his entire body!
The Ancestor Witches felt him here and pinched him there.
Their expressions and manner made it seem as if Xiao Ran were a peerless Divine Treasure that had just appeared, one coveted by countless people!
Xiao Ran's face turned green!
An entire herd of horses was galloping through his mind!
They say a gentleman uses words, not fists!
But among these Ancestor Witches, there wasn't a single gentleman!
They were all a bunch of brutes!
While silently complaining,
Xiao Ran suddenly caught sight of Xuanming Ancestral Witch reaching out with her big hand and moving toward him.
Something's not right!
That direction... what is she trying to do?
Xiao Ran shuddered and hurriedly backed away several steps.
Houtu said helplessly, "If you have something to say, then say it!"
"Have you completely forgotten how an Ancestor Witch should behave?"
"Wouldn't people laugh at us for being reckless and uncouth if word of this got out?"
Xuanming gave an awkward laugh before finally stopping.
Xiao Ran let out a long breath!
He had finally escaped the clutches of those Ancestor Witches!
It hadn't been easy!
Di Jiang laughed heartily. "Hahaha! It really is our Witch Race that's destined to rule the Primordial World!"
"Our Witch Race is about to have another Ancestor Witch!"
Gong Gong asked in surprise, "What makes you say that, Big Brother?"
"Was the phantom of Pangu Father God that appeared in the Void just now caused by this kid?"
Qiang Liang said with a smile, "If our Witch Race really does get a thirteenth Ancestor Witch!"
