After Houtu's explanation, the Ancestral Witches all breathed a sigh of relief!
Though they feared neither battle nor death, they naturally had no desire to die in battle if they could avoid it!
Then, as something occurred to him, Jumang asked in alarm and doubt, "Then just how high is Hongjun's cultivation realm?"
"I'm not sure!" Houtu shook her head gently. "But if my guess is right, Hongjun's cultivation realm is probably above the sixth-layer Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm. He may even have broken through to late-stage Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal!"
