Hearing how agitated Nuwa was, Black Tortoise felt rather puzzled.
Hadn't Empress Nuwa been inside the Dao Field all along? She should have witnessed everything herself, so why was she so surprised?
But how could Black Tortoise have known that the moment Hongjun arrived at the Dao Field, Xu Tong had directly tucked Nuwa, a Sage, away?
Black Tortoise could hardly be blamed for that.
After all, no one could have imagined that Xu Tong possessed such means, casually taking a Sage into his grasp before anyone could even react.
Seeing Nuwa's astonished expression, Black Tortoise nodded woodenly.
"Your Majesty, I did indeed sense Master's aura clashing with the Dao Ancestor's inside the Dao Field just now."
Hearing Black Tortoise say this, Nuwa fell silent.
"I understand. Do not tell anyone else about this."
Black Tortoise nodded.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will let this secret rot in my heart. No one else will ever hear of it from me."
Only then was Nuwa satisfied.
Her heart, however, was not so easily calmed.
"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Tongtian would actually exchange blows with the Dao Ancestor."
"No wonder Fellow Daoist Tongtian kept warning me to be wary of the Dao Ancestor back in the Dao Field."
"So that old fellow could no longer hold himself back."
"Hmph. Never mind."
"For now, I must first arrange matters in the mortal world."
"But Fellow Daoist Tongtian truly is full of surprises."
Although Nuwa had long suspected that Xu Tong's cultivation might be no weaker than Hongjun's, it had been no more than a suspicion.
This time, however, she had truly realized it.
Xu Tong was strong-extremely strong.
How could someone capable of confronting the Dao Ancestor head-on be ordinary?
Black Tortoise stayed beside Nuwa throughout, not daring to speak out
