Jieyin and Zhunti had already entered the Netherworld ahead of the others!
The might of Sages descended, and the Earthly Dao trembled!
But the Earthly Dao trembled not with excitement, but with fury.
"Two exalted Heavenly Dao Sages have actually descended into the Netherworld. To what do we owe this visit?"
Ancestral Witch Houtu left the immortals in Pingxin Hall behind and appeared in an instant. Before the Two Sages of the West could act, she had already locked firmly onto their auras!
Jieyin's expression changed in alarm!
One glance was enough for him to recognize how extraordinary Houtu's cultivation was!
"Houtu, your cultivation has actually reached such heights!"
Houtu's icy expression gave them no opportunity whatsoever to ease relations.
"What does my cultivation have to do with you?"
"Since you care so much about my cultivation, could it be that you came here today to force my hand through violence?"
Her strength at the fourth level of Primordial Unity had indeed surpassed Jieyin's. He had never imagined this!
Saint Zhunti's expression was grave as well.
Especially since Houtu's words were so sharp now-she seemed to have no intention of negotiating!
Originally, the two Sages had intended to persuade Houtu peacefully and sound out her intentions.
Now, it seemed that if persuasion failed, even the Two Sages of the West together would struggle to suppress her!
What was more, they were on Houtu's territory. With the power of the Earthly Dao at her command, she was even further beyond their ability to handle.
"Ancestral Witch Houtu, what do you mean by this?"
"As Heavenly Dao Sages, we observed unusual phenomena in the Earthly Dao and merely came to investigate."
"Besides, you transformed yourself into the Six Paths. If anything goes wrong with the Earthly Dao, you will inevitably be implicated."
