Chapter 28: Earth-Shattering! The Truth That Guiche Cannot Accept!

While rapidly rushing to the battlefield, Xuanming cast a Supernatural Power to inform the other Ancestral Witches of this matter.

At the Zhurong Ancestral Court, the Fire Ancestral Witch Zhurong was known for his fiery temper, and upon hearing the news, he immediately flew into a rage.

"The ignorant Demon Race, seeking death again!"

His fiery red long hair burned fiercely like flames, and as the Law Divine Light surged across his entire body, his figure transformed into a fiery red meteor, flying toward the battlefield.

At the Jumang Ancestral Court, the Wood Ancestral Witch Jumang had a personality completely different from Zhurong's; his relaxed and easygoing demeanor and temperament were unforgettable.

Upon hearing of Houtu's predicament, he could not hide his worry despite his calm, and with a flash of his agile eyes, he transformed into a green stream of light, likewise flying toward the battlefield.

It was not just them; the other Ancestral Witches also received the news one after another, all of them wearing grim expressions as they flicked their sleeves and transformed into streaks of colorful light, flying toward the battlefield.

However, because their respective Ancestral Courts were far apart, it would take some time for them to reach the battlefield.

At this moment, all living beings in the Primordial World suddenly felt waves of intense fluctuations.

Many weak creatures immediately entered a state of unprecedented vigilance, even hiding away in fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Countless peerless mighty figures and Immortal God powerhouses also felt a warning of danger at the same moment.

However, they were actually already used to such things.

Because the fellows of the Wu Clan and the Demon Race fought every few days, and every time they clashed it was earth-shattering, making them almost accustomed to it.

It was just that they did not know the reason for this time. Out of curiosity, many mighty figures cast Supernatural Powers and activated magic treasures to begin investigating the situation on the battlefield.

……

The Houtu Ancestral Court was not far from this battlefield.

Therefore, not long after, Guiche on the battlefield suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation sweeping in from afar.

His eyes narrowed, and a flash of blood-red light appeared in his pupils, yet he could not hide the fear and anger in his heart.

He knew that a powerful Ancestral Witch must be rushing here to support Houtu.

This aura... it was clearly the most vicious of the twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ice Ancestral Witch—Xuanming! "Damn Houtu, she actually summoned Xuanming!"

"Could it be that this was a trap to calculate against this Demon Saint all along?!"

Guiche's shoulders trembled, his demonic and eerie figure appearing like a Great Monster about to go mad, and he roared angrily at Houtu: "Go to hell, Demon Saint!"

He led the Demon Race army to launch another assault on Houtu.

Waves of violent demonic power, following the descent of the Great Array, forcibly swallowed Houtu's offensive and then launched a counterattack.

Guiche's fury completely ignited the madness of the Demon Race legion; their offensive became even more violent, and although many Demon Soldiers fell in pools of blood under Houtu's counterattack, they still stood their ground to fight, attempting to pave a path to victory with their flesh and blood.

Houtu stood quietly facing Guiche's wanton attacks, the flames of battle burning in her eyes.

She naturally sensed that Xuanming was about to arrive, but she did not lower her guard.

She knew that she absolutely could not be negligent now; at least until Lu Yun successfully transformed from mortal to Immortal, she had to hold on.

For a time, because the Ancestral Witch Xuanming was about to arrive, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly intense.

"Boom—"

Powerful Supernatural Powers erupted continuously, the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to tremble because of it, and endless fighting spirit filled the entire space.

The Demon Saint Guiche had already exhausted all his strength, and various magic treasures were brought out one after another, but even with the cooperation of his Demon Race army, he still could not force Houtu to take even a single step back! Guiche was completely convinced! This Houtu was simply unreasonable!

What on earth did his grandson do to make her unwilling to retreat even to this extent? Seeing the aura of the Ancestral Witch Xuanming coming from afar, getting closer and closer, Guiche also began to lose his nerve. "No!"

"I absolutely cannot continue fighting!"

"If Xuanming and Houtu really join forces, I might fall here today!"

Glancing at the stone mountain not far behind Houtu, even if he was unwilling, Guiche could only choose to abandon his grandson at this moment.

He suddenly ordered the surrounding Great Monsters: "Retreat!"

The Demon Race army naturally sensed the powerful aura coming from afar and had long wanted to leave.

Facing one Ancestral Witch like Houtu, they already felt it was hard to handle; if another one came, they would likely have no way out.

So, under Guiche's order, the Demon Race army began to gradually withdraw from the battlefield. Their speed was extremely fast, and various astonishing spells flickered, as if each of them feared that if they ran too slowly, they would not be able to escape.

Seeing this, Guiche was naturally very depressed, but he had no other choice; he even had to personally cover the retreat to create an opportunity for the army to flee.

After all, these were all his important subordinates; if any major damage occurred, it would be a severe blow to his foundation.

"All of you, get lost!"

With a roar, a huge demonic blade fiercely pierced into the ground in front of Houtu, the blade energy soaring to the sky, instantly blocking Houtu.

But he soon discovered that Houtu had no intention of pursuing at all.

Houtu just stood where she was, watching him and his army retreat, her expression extremely calm.

Guiche, who was retreating rapidly, was confused and began to doubt again: Could it be that this was not a trap set by the Wu Clan for me?

Then what was going on?

Just at this moment—

"Hum!"

Guiche suddenly saw that not far behind Houtu, a Tribulation Cloud appeared in the sky.

Looking at the scale of that Tribulation Cloud, it seemed to be the most common Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

Such low-level Heavenly Tribulations appeared countless times every day in the Great Desolation.

But at this moment, he discovered that the moment Houtu saw the Immortal Ascension Tribulation appear, a smile actually appeared on her face.

He even heard from afar Houtu chuckle and say: "Finally succeeded!"

"Huh???"

Guiche was somewhat bewildered for a moment.

What did Houtu mean by this? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and his eyes widened: "Could it be, Houtu, that you were actually protecting a Primordial World creature, which is why you were unwilling to retreat even when you were in such danger just now?!"

Houtu heard Guiche's exclamation and could not help but look at him, somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect you to be quite clever."

Guiche said in disbelief: "So, in order to protect a Primordial World creature that hasn't become an Immortal, you not only captured my grandson and killed a group of my subordinates, but now you are even summoning other Ancestral Witches to deal with me together?!"

Houtu nodded frankly and asked in return, "Is there a problem?"

Guiche: "..."
