Lin Tian's brow rose slightly when he noticed the Ancestral Witches' gazes.
He had absolutely no idea what these thickheaded Ancestral Witches were thinking.
At that moment, most of Lin Tian's attention was on the demons concealing themselves nearby.
He noticed that, after witnessing Houtu's overwhelmingly domineering display, they seemed to be slowly retreating.
They dared not make the slightest unnecessary sound, terrified of being discovered.
The instant Demon Emperor Di Jun saw Houtu appear, he knew the schemes of the two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, were going to fall through.
Last time, Ancestral Witch Houtu had been outrageously fierce, leading the Twelve Ancestral Witches straight into the Celestial Star Dou Formation he had laid out.
She had even dared to extort Saint Nuwa.

When Di Jun saw Houtu forcefully suppress Gonggong and Zhurong without the slightest regard for the fact that the two Ancestral Witches were in the midst of breakthroughs, he knew his guess had been right.

Di Jun had no desire to be hammered by the Pangu True Body Phantom again.
Although the Six Heavenly Dao Saints had nominally joined the Demon Celestial Court and passed down their Dao lineages,
they would not necessarily intervene to save him.
Last time Saint Nuwa had intervened, Houtu had extorted a top-grade innate spiritual treasure from her-the Creation Qian Kun Cauldron.
Yet as Di Jun cautiously led the Demon Race Army in retreat, he kept feeling uneasy, as though some being was watching him.
But when he carefully swept the area with his divine sense, he found nothing.
Just then.
Di Jun suddenly heard Houtu's voice.
"I've caught you, little bug."
Every muscle in Di Jun's body instinctively tensed.
Caught?
Little bug?
Had Houtu discovered us?
Just
