Chapter 2013: Houtu and Xuanming Break Through!

"You two shall stand upon this spring of clear water; all others must leave and not touch this spring."

"Why?" Shebi Shi asked.

"Why so many why's? The Holy Luo Fu ordered us to do this—so we do it!"

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin immediately slapped Shebi Shi on the shoulder and jumped out of the spring with him.

All the other Ancestral Wus left, leaving only Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming standing, and they looked at each other, feeling no significant change in their bodies.

Sister Houtu asked, "Holy Luo Fu, what should I do next?"

"I will tell you when to move—pay close attention to the spring beneath your feet."

"Understood."

Sister Houtu instinctively closed her eyes; Sister Xuanming followed suit, closing hers, and they felt the spring beneath their feet melting at a speed they could perceive.

Both suddenly gasped and opened their eyes wide.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, this spring is alive—it's moving, it's melting!"

Sister Houtu exclaimed joyfully: "Could the aura from my and Sister Xuanming's breakthrough be what opens the barrier of this spring?"

Not yet—before Sister Xuanming could ask, Zhu Jiuyin and Li Jiang turned curious eyes toward Luo Fu, who nodded.

"I told you your luck is good. At this very moment, Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming's breakthrough has solved your urgent problem."

Luo Fu had not expected that the Twelve Ancestral Wus' abilities were insufficient to break open this spring.

When they arrived, they had already tested it—Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin's power was immense, and even Ru Shou could have taken items from Penglai Immortal Island.

But Ru Shou would not act lightly.

Once Ru Shou moved, Qiang Liang would follow—but Qiang Liang had not yet arrived.

"This is too lucky!"

Whether they admitted it or not, Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming were their blessing, their lucky stars; without them, the Twelve Ancestral Wus could not have survived long.

Everything they needed to do in Honghuang had been done—the Wu Clan and the Yao Clan had become mortal enemies; they knew exactly how to defeat the Yao Clan.

But should they truly exterminate the Yao Clan?

As long as the Yao Clan did not persecute the Wu Clan, what did it matter how the Yao Clan fared? The Twelve Ancestral Wus would never intervene.

But Dong Huang Taiyi and the Emperor had repeatedly provoked them—this was why Di Jiang and the others grew weary and chose to oppose them.

And the hatred of Kua Fu and Da Yi must be avenged here!

In the end, no matter whose fault it was, the matter could no longer be undone—so Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming's abilities would ultimately decide the final fate of the Wu Clan.

"Reclaim!"

The moment Luo Fu spoke that word, Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming immediately retracted their auras, and the sensation of their breakthrough slowly manifested.

This aura surged into their dantians, and even the spring beneath their feet was revived, boiling violently.

The Qiankun Ding below slowly, step by step, was dragged out by the boiling energy.

"It's out!"

"Indeed, it's out!"

They never expected that the Qiankun Ding, which none of them could retrieve, would be pulled out by Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming—this filled the Twelve Ancestral Wus with astonishment.
