Chapter 236: Hou Tu Niangniang Challenges Xi He

Now Hou Tu Niangniang wholeheartedly seeks to complete her own Great Dao.

Therefore, she is extremely obsessive about selecting her target.

She even ignored the other's background and the hostile relationship between them, feeling that Xi He, as a person of the heavenly Dao, is a very suitable choice.

"That woman, why is she staring at me with that look? Could it be that this is really a conspiracy against me?"

Xi He naturally also noticed Hou Tu Niangniang's gaze directed at herself.

There's no way; that gaze is too aggressive, making it hard for Xi He not to notice.

"Quick battle, quick decision!"

Thinking this, Xi He turned her head to look at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Zhen Yuan Great Immortal, we could be considered old acquaintances; my foolish son has offended you, I apologize on his behalf, and please return that magical treasure."

"Since that's the case..."

Having guessed in his mind the relationship between Ao Yifan and the Taiyang Xingjun, Zhen Yuanzi also did not intend to make things difficult for her; thus, after Xi He spoke up voluntarily, Zhen Yuanzi produced the Beheading Immortal Flying Knife.

"Wait!"

However, what Zhen Yuanzi never expected was that, just as he was about to return the Beheading Immortal Flying Knife to Xi He, Hou Tu Niangniang suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Hou Tu, what do you mean?"

Xi He's face sank, and she looked at Hou Tu Niangniang with a hostile expression.

Zhen Yuanzi likewise looked at Hou Tu Niangniang in puzzlement; after all, in his view, this matter seemed unrelated to her, so why would she interfere?

One must know, Xi He is not so easily provoked.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Hou Tu Niangniang remained calm and composed, saying, "Xi He, your son has offended Zhen Yuanzi Daoist friend; as his good friend, I naturally need to seek justice for him. If we so easily return the magical treasure to you, would not Zhen Yuan Great Immortal's reputation suffer greatly?"

Upon hearing Hou Tu Niangniang say that, Zhen Yuanzi opened his mouth, wanting to say that this matter was not that serious.

After all, rather than saying Xi He's son offended me, it's more accurate to say that the other party was given a sound thrashing by me.

However, before Zhen Yuanzi could speak, Xi He interjected, saying, "Then, Hou Tu, what do you intend?"

"Very simple!"

Hou Tu waved her big hand, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk appeared behind her, slowly turning.

"As a good friend of Zhen Yuanzi Daoist friend, I will fight in his place; after all, our two clans have always believed in the principle that strength reigns supreme!"

Gazing at the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk behind Hou Tu Niangniang, Xi He narrowed her eyes; immediately thereafter, she saw a surge of fire rising behind her.

The next moment, everyone saw a great sun appear behind Xi He.

"It seems today's battle is unavoidable!"

Saying this, Xi He gently placed the fire spirit child, Ling'er, from her bosom onto the ground.

"Ling'er, Mother is going to fight that ugly aunt; you first follow your brother to the side and wait. Once I settle that ugly aunt over there, I will take you away."

Xi He spoke softly.

"Yes, Mother, Ling'er understands!"

The fire spirit child obediently nodded.

Seeing this, Xi He turned her gaze back toward Hou Tu Niangniang.

"Come on, let's begin!"

The monster clan never shies from battle; moreover, Xi He herself was born from solar flame, and though her outward appearance is naturally icy, she possesses a fiery temperament.

Compared to her sister Changxi, Xi He is undoubtedly very bellicose; thus, facing Hou Tu Niangniang's challenge, she has no intention of refusing.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Xi He was raising her fighting spirit to the extreme, suddenly Hou Tu Niangniang called for a halt.

"What now? If you want to fight, then fight; what are you scheming?"

Xi He said somewhat impatiently.

"Fighting is fine, but we must first set the conditions!"

Hou Tu Niangniang said.

"Conditions?"

Xi He furrowed her brows, not quite understanding the other's meaning.

"Naturally we need to discuss the conditions!"

Hou Tu Niangniang gave a noncommittal reply: "In this battle, if you win, your magical treasure will naturally be returned to you; but if you lose..."

"If I lose, what then will you do?"

Xi He raised her eyebrows and said.

"Very simple; I only need you to do me a small favor!"

Hou Tu Niangniang said.

"A small favor?"

Xi He looked bewildered, seeming not to grasp the other's meaning.

"Exactly, just a small favor."

Hou Tu Niangniang nodded and said: "Moreover, for you this matter is extremely simple; you only need to nod your head to accomplish it."

"Just that simple?"

Xi He always felt that this woman seemed to be plotting something.

"Yes, just that simple!"

Hou Tu Niangniang said with a calm expression.

"Good, I agree to your request!"

Xi He nodded.

Since it's something achievable just by nodding, what does she have to worry about?

Besides, Xi He is also very confident in her own strength; she doesn't think she will lose to the opponent.

Zhen Yuanzi heard their conversation.

But the change happened too fast; he could barely keep up with the rhythm.

Clearly, this was our matter with the Sun Star Lord; how did these two women start fighting in the blink of an eye?

Meanwhile, Ao Yifan also watched all of this with great interest.

However, he did not stop it.

Because Ao Yifan vaguely already understood what plan Hou Tu Niangniang had in mind.

"Just, Hou Tu, is she really that confident?"

Ao Yifan's face showed a hint of contemplation; after all, what Hou Tu Niangniang wants to do is not merely defeating Xi He so simply.

And Ao Yifan also felt that, once Xi He learns Hou Tu Niangniang's true purpose, she will obediently surrender.

Therefore, Hou Tu Niangniang must absolutely suppress Xi He with overwhelming strength.

But this is extremely difficult.

After all, Xi He, as an ancient goddess, also inherited the legacy of the ancient demon court; her strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

"Hum—"

Just as Ao Yifan was pondering how the upcoming battle would develop, on the other side Hou Tu Niangniang had already taken the initiative to strike.

It was still the familiar pattern; the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk that shrouded the heavens and earth fell, instantly imposing tremendous pressure on Xi He.

After all, all beings of the Three Realms and Six Paths belong within the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk; this is a suppression by law!

"Bring it on!"

Feeling the tremendous pressure, golden flames appeared in Xi He's eyes.

At the same time, the great sun behind her suddenly became immensely huge.

A terrifying heat wave swept across; at this moment, the great sun behind Xi He seemed like the true heavenly sun star, with terrifying high temperature, even space was burned and violently distorted.

"Boom—"

The great sun struck the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk; the powerful force shook heaven and earth slightly.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi waved his horsetail whisk, and a streak of spiritual light instantly enveloped the entire Wan Shou Mountain.

There was no way; this was his territory, and he didn't want to let those two women run amok.

"Awesome!"

Ao Yifan couldn't help but exclaim that being able to witness the contest between the two ancient goddesses was indeed a rare sight.
