Chapter 203: The Hidden Move of the Demon Ancestor Luohou?

Amidst the faintly dissipating Demon Qi, Tian Yuan and Nuwa stood tall.

Their Divine Sense and will swept through the surroundings constantly, yet unfortunately, there were still no discoveries.

Apart from being visible to the naked eye and tangible, these Demon Qi seemed as if they did not exist at all.

They could not be perceived, could not be absorbed, and could not be cleared away.

Not long after, a figure sped over from the distance; it was the Ancestral Witch Gonggong.

"Dao Brother!" "Fellow Daoist Nuwa!" Gonggong, who had hurried over, respectfully paid his respects to Tian Yuan.

After a series of events, this Water Ancestral Witch had developed immense respect for Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan nodded slightly and said, "These Demon Qi are extremely strange; take a look and see if you discover anything."

The Wu Clan was inextricably linked to the Earth Veins; if even Gonggong could not discern anything, then they would have to go find Houtu.

It was just that Houtu was currently at a critical juncture, otherwise Tian Yuan would not have summoned Gonggong to come.

Gonggong nodded; he had already noticed those Demon Qi from afar just now.

It was not because these Demon Qi were strange, but because in this void, there was a sense of familiarity deep within his bloodline.

Filled with doubts, Gonggong strode forward and reached out to grab the Demon Qi in front of him.

The Demon Qi, shimmering with a ghostly light, flowed in his palm. After examining it carefully for a few moments, it was not the source of that strange familiarity.

Frowning, Gonggong plunged into the rolling Demon Qi, attempting to absorb and refine it, but there was no reaction from the surroundings, and the Demon Qi in his palm remained perfectly still.

Gonggong's face darkened as he focused his mind to sense that strange familiarity.

Tian Yuan, standing behind, felt his eyes brighten slightly, and Nuwa beside him also wore a look of curiosity.

Although Gonggong did not say anything, from the other's expression, he knew that Gonggong had made a discovery.

Mount Buzhou was his own body, yet he had not expected that the Wu Clan would be the most proficient in matters concerning Earth Veins.

After just a moment, Tian Yuan was stunned, a strange look flashing across his eyes.

Not far away, the doubt on Gonggong's face turned into astonishment, mixed with an inexplicable sense of confusion.

Tian Yuan walked forward and asked, "What is it?"

Gonggong turned to look at Tian Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then replied softly, "Xuanming, my bloodline senses the aura of Xuanming in this void."

"Xuanming?" Tian Yuan was startled, also somewhat surprised.

Even Nuwa beside him narrowed her eyes, her beautiful face filled with shock.

"Are you sure you aren't mistaken?" Tian Yuan's face darkened, his expression somewhat grave.

Among the twelve Ancestral Witches, only Dijiang and Xuanming had not been captured by him; how could Xuanming's aura appear here?

It had been some time since Houtu swept through the Pangu Temple, and indeed, there had been no news of Dijiang or Xuanming in the Primordial World.

But based on his understanding of the Ancestral Witches, Xuanming could not possibly possess such ability.

"It is the unique bloodline fluctuation of an Ancestral Witch; actually, I had already sensed it from afar just now." Gonggong nodded solemnly, then continued, "I have already notified Zhu Jiuyin and the others, and they will come together; then we will know if it is true or false."

He might make a mistake alone, but if Zhu Jiuyin and the others all had this sensation, then it would certainly not be wrong.

After all, Gonggong was also very puzzled by the appearance of Xuanming's aura here.

The current Gonggong understood the power of the Consciousness Space very well.

But thinking of Dijiang and Xuanming, Gonggong also felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

For such a long time, they had unconsciously ignored the existence of the two.

Now that there was suddenly news of Xuanming, perhaps they should let the Ancestral Witches gather here.

Tian Yuan fully agreed with Gonggong's plan; after all, he himself was also extremely puzzled.

The Earth Veins of the Western Region collapsed because of Luo Hou, and these Demon Qi must be related to the Demon Ancestor, yet now Gonggong claimed there was the aura of Xuanming.

Xuanming had been missing for some time; could it be that she had become involved with the Demon Ancestor Luohou?

If he were not currently refining numerous stars deep within the Zhou Tian Star Formation, Tian Yuan would have searched the Primordial World for the whereabouts of Dijiang and Xuanming regardless.

Previously, Tian Yuan had not paid much attention to these two Ancestral Witches, but he had not expected such an accident to occur now. It seemed someone had set their sights on the relationship between the Ancestral Witches and the Earth Veins to plot against the Western Earth Veins; this was no small matter.

The Earth Veins were the foundation of the Primordial World and also the most direct way to strengthen Mount Buzhou; Tian Yuan could not afford any mistakes.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tian Yuan looked at Gonggong beside him: "Have you sensed the location of Xuanming?"

Even Nuwa, a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the will of Mount Buzhou had failed to perceive it; these Ancestral Witches were indeed extraordinary.

Gonggong shook his head and said strangely, "That feeling is very faint; it is dissipating directly from the void, yet it also seems unrelated to these Demon Qi."

By the time he finished speaking, Gonggong was also somewhat confused.

But Gonggong could be certain that this was definitely not the method of an Ancestral Witch.

Tian Yuan and Nuwa exchanged a glance, and neither spoke further, waiting quietly for the other Ancestral Witches; Gonggong, however, dove back into the spreading Demon Qi.

Not long after, all the Ancestral Witches except for Houtu had arrived.

They greeted Tian Yuan and Nuwa, then immediately dove into the Demon Qi one by one.

Having stayed in the Consciousness Space for so long, they understood Tian Yuan's actions and were aware of the mission of the Ancestral Witches.

Now that there was news of Xuanming, they all hoped to persuade her to come, even if it meant using force.

Of course, there was also their Big Brother Dijiang; there had been no news of him for a long time as well.

Watching the many Ancestral Witches who had arrived collectively, Tian Yuan continued to sense the surroundings with the will of Mount Buzhou.

Unfortunately, it was the same as before; there were no discoveries.

As for the aura of Xuanming that Gonggong spoke of, he could not sense it either; it seemed only the Ancestral Witches could detect it.

They did not wait long before they saw Gonggong leading the group of Ancestral Witches back.

From the expressions on the faces of the many Ancestral Witches, Tian Yuan knew that what Gonggong had said earlier was not false.

"It is Xuanming; it is in every void where the Demon Qi dissipates, but I do not know the specific location." Gonggong frowned, his expression somewhat grim.

Ancestral Witches tempered their physical bodies with Malevolent Qi and could not possibly have any connection with Demon Qi.

Tian Yuan looked toward Zhu Jiuyin and the others, and they all shook their heads slightly one by one.

"Upon arriving at the Primordial World, can you sense the location of Xuanming and the others?" Tian Yuan knew there was a resonance between the Ancestral Witches, but this place was shrouded in a thick will, which might have weakened the connection between the Ancestral Witches.

Gonggong hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of apology: "Perhaps there is a chance!"

Having not seen her for such a long time, it was very likely that Xuanming had encountered other opportunities, so Gonggong did not dare to make any guarantees.

"In that case, I will send you to the Primordial World to have a look." Regardless of whether it was possible, Tian Yuan had to give it a try.

Nuwa, who was beside them, also spoke up: "Dao Brother, I shall go to the Primordial World to take a look as well!"

Tian Yuan did not go immediately, so he must have been doing something more important. Since the Consciousness Space could not sense anything, she might discover something if she went to the Primordial World.

Tian Yuan nodded, and suddenly a faint will rippled out from his body, enveloping Gonggong and Nuwa.

With a swish, the two of them vanished from the scene.

Zhu Jiuyin stepped forward and said to Tian Yuan: "Dao Brother, just give us any orders you may have!"

"Very well! Then you shall wait here." Tian Yuan understood what Zhu Jiuyin meant.

To head to the Primordial World, Gonggong alone was enough; these Demon Qi were not simple, so someone still needed to watch over them.

It was very likely related to Xuanming, so naturally, the Ancestral Witches before him were the most suitable.

The flames in the south had not yet been cleared, and the Malevolent Qi shrouding the north remained in small amounts, so there was no urgent need for them for the time being.

"Good! If there is any news, we will notify Dao Brother immediately!" Zhu Jiuyin's face lit up with joy as he hurriedly replied.

Since it concerned Xuanming, they all cared about it very much.

Tian Yuan nodded, his figure vanishing into the air, while Zhu Jiuyin and the others all escaped into the rolling Demon Qi together.
