Beast Emperor Shen Ni could not be bothered to look at him.
Even this Nether River.
He could dry it up completely with a single thought.
Thus, in his eyes, Ancestor Minghe's life-saving trump card.
Was nothing at all.
Never mind him.
Yuanfeng could do the same if she came.
Even Nuwa could manage it.
If Nuwa wanted to kill Ancestor Minghe.
It would merely take a little more trouble.
It would hardly be too difficult.
Ancestor Minghe descended to the bottom of the Nether River and immediately entered seclusion.
Although the Nether River shielded him, and stealing a glance or two at Houtu's breakthrough seemed harmless enough.

By the time he finished.
Houtu would surely have long since completed her breakthrough.
Then he would no longer need to worry about any of this.
Surely, while he was in seclusion.

Could very easily be taken as evidence of ill intentions toward Houtu.
He certainly had no such intentions.
The Asura Clan under his command was even less
