Chapter 67: Huangtian: What Happened to the Promised Opportunity?

"Where are Dijiang and those fellows!?"

Donghuang Taiyi frowned and demanded.

Hearing this, Baize could not help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty Donghuang, those fellows of the Wu Clan have already broken through the boundary and returned to the Primordial Land!"

Di Jun also asked at this moment: "Then what about Houtu?"

Hearing this, Baize revealed a hint of a smile, "Your Majesty, Houtu has already been wounded by us and knocked down to the Primordial Land!"

Donghuang Taiyi still frowned.

Di Jun, however, was more open-minded and slightly encouraged the crowd of Demons: "It is not bad; at least this time we have taken down many elites from the various tribes of the Wu Clan!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Regarding this, the surrounding Demons immediately called out respectfully.

"Let's go, head to the first battlefield and see how Xihe and the others are doing!"

After speaking, Di Jun flew toward the sky near Taiyin Star.

Donghuang Taiyi looked toward the direction the Wu Clan had left with an expression of unwillingness.

"Hmph! You got off easy this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!!"

Having said that, he crossed space and chased toward the first Houyi battlefield.

And at the first Houyi battlefield.

At this time, Houyi had already been captured alive and suppressed by dozens of Demon Gods before Xihe.

"Kneel!"

A Demon God kicked him fiercely in the leg.

Causing Houyi to lunge forward suddenly.

However, because his hands were restrained, he was pulled back violently.

Yet, his legs did not bend.

Even though his entire body was sealed by countless Divine Prohibitions and his hands were restrained, he did not lose the proud spirit of a son of the Wu Clan; he simply would not kneel to Xihe.

Xihe waved her hand to dismiss the others, then walked in front of Houyi with a look of satisfaction.

"Haha~! Houyi! When you shot and killed my children, did you ever think there would be a day like this?"

Having said that, Xihe looked up at the sky and murmured with slight sorrow, "My children, your mother has finally avenged you!"

But Houyi just stared at her coldly without a word.

"Hmph~! Rest assured, after I finish dealing with the Wu Clan, I will definitely sacrifice you to heaven to pay for the lives of my nine dead children! Before that, I will treat you well!"

Xihe sneered.

Speaking of this, she frowned as she looked at the icy-faced Houyi, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

She then whispered with a playful smile: "Oh, and that includes your wife!"

"Ah~!! You dare try to touch her!!"

Houyi roared angrily at Xihe like a crazed beast.

"Hahaha~!!"

Hearing this, Xihe finally revealed a satisfied smile!

The Primordial Land.

The Yellow River Basin.

Because a large number of Wu Clan warriors from the Houtu Tribe had gone to the sky to rescue Houyi, the interior was left empty.

Therefore, when the Demon army led by the Demon Saint Tengshe descended here.

The Wu Clan and Human Race tribes were simply unable to resist.

In an instant, they were defeated one by one by the Demon Clan, causing death and injury everywhere in the tribes, with corpses strewn across the fields.

Because the Yellow River Basin was vast, Huangtian could only protect the Human Race tribes around the Human Ancestral Land.

While the Human Race and Wu Clan tribes in other directions were all ransacked by the Demon Clan.

Whether it was the Wu Clan or the Human Race, all were slaughtered; after the humans died, their Three Souls and Seven Souls also suffered, being swallowed by the Demon Saint Tengshe with a Soul-Gathering Bead.

And at this moment.

The Ancestral Witch Houtu of the Wu Clan also descended from the sky; due to her heavy injuries, she failed to control her direction the moment she fell after returning to her normal size.

Thus...

"Houtu?"

Inside a small mountain valley, Huangtian Laozu looked on in confusion as she fell from the sky and crashed into the earth a hundred meters in front of him.

What happened to the promised opportunity?

Huangtian Laozu could not help but think to himself.

Nv'e ran to the moon and Houyi pursued her, and then the Ancestral Witch Houtu also entered the Heavenly Realm.

Huangtian Laozu had seen all of this.

Although he had the ability to stop it, he did not go to stop it.

After all, his main goal was not to stand in opposition to the Heavenly Court at this time; finding an opportunity for the Proof of Rice and then competing against the Tiantao Zhusheng was his main purpose.

However.

The Ancestral Witch Houtu fell directly in front of him; this was something he had not expected.

Could this be the opportunity the Emperor spoke of?

Huangtian Laozu could not help but think secretly.

Just as Huangtian was hesitating whether to reveal his identity to save Houtu, Huangtian Laozu suddenly sensed a feeling of being watched.

Huangtian Laozu frowned and scanned his surroundings.

He then entered the Huangtian State directly and performed a reverse investigation of that sensation.

And so.

Through that sensation, he saw a pair of silver eyes.

Seeing this, Huangtian Laozu was taken aback.

He pondered for a moment, then made a gesture to treat Houtu Zuwu, and with a wave of his hand, he disrupted the Tianji of this space-time.

Huangtian hesitated no longer and directly carried Houtu Zuwu, flying toward the Nve Tribe of the Human Race.

Not long after he left.

Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang led others to arrive at this place, following the aura of Houtu Zuwu.

Subsequently, the eleven Ancestral Witches conducted a carpet search of this region.

However, after searching a circle, they did not find the figure of Houtu Zuwu.

"Big Brother, the aura of Sister Houtu has disappeared from here!" the Fire Ancestral Witch Zhurong said in great anxiety.

"Second Brother!" Dijiang looked at Zhu Jiuyin with a solemn expression.

It was seen that silver light flickered in the eyes of the Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, and he began to perform Time Reversal on the scene in this area.

Then, he saw a man in yellow robes with a blurred face make a gesture at him, and the image vanished.

After the space-time interference, he directly exited the Law exploration state.

Seeing him exit the state, Dijiang and the others could not help but ask anxiously: "How is it, where is Houtu?"

Zhu Jiuyin was seen scratching his head in confusion.

"Speak quickly, you're worrying me to death!" Zhurong asked impatiently, with Dutian Divine Fire flaring on his body.

"Zhurong, get out of the way!"

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch to the side kicked him away and said.

After delivering this kick, she then looked at Zhu Jiuyin.

"Sister Houtu is fine for now, it's just... she seems to have been saved by a Great Supernatural Being!"

Zhu Jiuyin said helplessly.

"Did you see clearly who he was?" Dijiang could not help but ask.

"I could not see his face clearly, but since he could directly break through and shield my time tracking, his cultivation must have reached the peak!" Zhu Jiuyin said solemnly.

Hearing this, the eleven people present fell silent for a while.

"Let us return to Pangu Hall first; we are needed back there to preside over the big picture. Let Xingtian and Wuxian track them from here!"

At this moment, Ancestral Witch Dijiang said heavily.

"Damn it, if that guy dares to bully Sister Houtu, I, Zhurong, will definitely make him taste the power of my Dutian Divine Fire!" Zhurong shouted with a violent temper.

At this time, Gonggong to the side mocked him.

"You? Even my Weak Water can extinguish your Dutian Divine Fire, how would you teach him a lesson!"

"Gonggong!!" Zhurong shouted in a fit of rage.

"Getting anxious already?" Gonggong could not help but laugh loudly.

Dijiang, who was annoyed by the noise to the side, immediately scolded the two: "Enough, are you two finished yet? What kind of situation is this now? How can I allow you to be so presumptuous!!"

"Hmph!"

Seeing that Dijiang was angry, Zhurong and Gonggong could not help but snort coldly at each other and stopped making a sound.

The others saw this and all shook their heads helplessly.

The grudge between the two had existed for a long time.

From the moment they were born, they argued over who was older, then it was because they were like water and fire, and then it was because their respective tribes fought each other.

And now, the two could not stand the sight of each other and would want to spar at the slightest provocation.

Fortunately, both had some restraint and did not take things too far.

Human Race Nve Tribe.

After Huangtian Laozu brought Houtu to a dilapidated and deserted small thatched cottage, he placed her on the ground.

It was not that he did not want to place her on a bed.

It was because he discovered that as he detached her from the earth, the injuries of Houtu Zuwu recovered very slowly.

Conversely.

As long as he placed her on the earth, Houtu's injuries would recover at a progressive rate.

Seeing this, Huangtian Laozu stopped worrying about Houtu Zuwu and let her lie on the ground to recover from her injuries.

He had originally been considering how to treat her injuries, but now it was fine; it could be spared.

Shaking his head, Huangtian sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, pondered the matter of opportunity for a while, and then sank into the ocean of the Great Rice.

Time passed, and several months went by quickly.

On a high mountain peak not far from the Nve Tribe, the figures of a man and a woman looked at this once-prosperous Yellow River Basin and fell into silence.

"After the Demon Race slaughtered the Human Race, did they really imprison their souls?"

At this moment, Houtu Zuwu asked in a low voice.

Huangtian Laozu was slightly stunned, then said solemnly: "I personally heard that Demon Saint Tengshe communicating with several Demon Gods; Di Jun and the others are currently using Human Race souls to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword that can restrain your Ancestral Witch Battle Body!"

Speaking of this, he could not help but smile: "Why, do you have any thoughts?"

"I don't know!" Houtu Zuwu was silent for a while, then said calmly in a low voice.

Actually, Huangtian Laozu did not know.

Last time, to save Houyi, the elites of the Wu Clan tribe to which Houtu belonged were basically wiped out.

After all, they were the closest to Houyi, received the news the fastest, and were the Wu Clan tribe that assembled the fastest.

Therefore.

During the last breach and invasion of the Heavenly Realm, the Wu Clan warriors of her Houtu Tribe accounted for the largest number.

And on the battlefield, the absence of Houtu led to the sacrifice of the majority of those warriors during that invasion.

In the end, only about a dozen tribes, such as the Xingtian Tribe and the Wuxian Tribe, remained intact, while the other hundred or so tribes were basically wiped out.

Leaving behind only a group of the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

That is to say, among the tribes belonging to her, Houtu, there are fewer than thirty Great Witches left.
