Chapter 1873: I Do Not Take What Others Cherish!

Inside the Pangu Hall.

The twelve Ancestral Wu, returned victorious, were overjoyed; they ordered meat and wine to be served, and even their battle beasts were treated well.

Because of the trial with Zhurong, Sister Houtu and Xuanming's battle beasts had been accidentally injured; yet Di Jiang did not scold them, only instructed them to care for the beasts properly.

This time, their battle beasts had performed great deeds!

Luo Fu greatly admired the sincerity of Sister Houtu and Xuanming; these two battle beasts were truly divine beasts, and had a deep affinity with Luo Fu.

Sister Houtu said: "Luo Fu Daochang, do you like my battle beast?"

Luo Fu nodded.

"I merely find Sister Houtu's battle beast pleasing to the eye—I would never take what others cherish."

Only then did Sister Houtu exhale in relief; this battle beast was the result of his meticulous selection, had accompanied him for a long time, and had stood by him through every battle.

If he were to give it up to Luo Fu, Sister Houtu truly could not bear to part with it.

Even Xuanming beside him was unwilling to let it go.

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin immediately ordered the upper seats cleared: "Luo Fu Daochang, it was thanks to you that we shattered the demon clan's barrier—those demon folk could never have imagined this."

"A trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"Without Luo Fu Daochang's aid, we twelve Ancestral Wu could never have rescued Hong Yun from the fire and water."

Ancestral Di Jiang said: "Hong Yun Daochang is now bound to our Wu clan; he will neither serve our clan, nor act against it."

"Rest assured," Luo Fu said. "If your Wu clan wishes to prevail in this war against the demon clan, I can offer a few pointers."

Upon hearing Luo Fu's words, the Ancestral Wu present were thrilled, especially Shu Shou and She Bi Shi.

These two Ancestral Wu especially hoped Luo Fu would guide them, for their cultivation bases had stagnated in this Honghuang for years.

If Luo Fu were to offer guidance, their strength might surge dramatically.

Precisely because of this, She Bi Shi showed even greater excitement—and Luo Fu noticed.

"But…"

Luo Fu's pause caused the twelve Ancestral Wu to draw a sharp breath, unsure what he would say next; they waited in silence.

"I will not join your Wu clan's war against the demon clan—I can offer only a few pointers."

"Even this is an honor for our Wu clan."

Di Jiang quickly realized: they could not know who Luo Fu truly was—he might be a crystallization of primordial spiritual energy; such power could unify the Honghuang in days.

Yet Luo Fu had no desire to unify the Honghuang; the struggle between Wu and demon clans would continue.

Di Jiang was merely grateful that Sister Houtu and Xuanming had found Luo Fu first; had Kun Peng or Dong Huang Tai Yi discovered him first, the Wu clan might have faced annihilation.

Precisely because of this gratitude, Di Jiang dared not make further demands.

Even if he demanded Luo Fu refrain from something, they had no means to enforce it.

"No problem, no problem, Luo Fu Daochang—we have prepared food in the Pangu Hall; please join us in drinking to celebrate our great victory over the demon clan!"

This rescue of Hong Yun from Huoyun Cave became a marvel that stunned the great beings of the Honghuang, revealing Luo Fu's true identity to them all; every being in the Honghuang grew curious about him, yet could uncover no trace of his origin.
