"You idiot, why don't you stop the bleeding and heal your wounds! She has already shown mercy to you. Her strength is definitely above mine!" Xu Mizi keenly sensed a unique power from the divine light that Hou Tu had just shot out.
"What? Master, you are no match for her?" Chaos Donkey seemed to have forgotten the severe pain of his broken leg in an instant, and shouted at the top of his voice.
This voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Tongtian Sect Master, Nuwa, Ziwei Emperor and other heavenly officials.
"She hid so deeply, it seems that something big must have happened in the underworld!" Xu Mizi did not care about the eyes of the crowd. After thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze to Tongtian Sect Master.
"Tongtian, now that Houtu has left, how about you go and guard the place?"
Tongtian Sect Leader just glanced at him indifferently, turned around and walked towards his palace without saying a word, completely ignoring Xu Mizi's suggestion.
The others, seeing this, fled like frightened birds, fearing they would be sent to replace Hou Tu. Especially the two saints of the West, Jie Yin and Zhunti, who ran faster than anyone else.
Seeing this, Xu Mizi couldn't help but feel a little angry. He casually shot out a divine light and directly rolled the two of them back.
The two of them forced a smile and said, "I don't know why Emperor Xumi wants us to do this!"
"Hou Tu is not here, you go guard outside!" Xu Mizi said coldly with a stern face.
"I..." Jie Yin and Zhunti were about to refuse, but they saw Xu Mizi turn into a stream of light and fly towards Zixiao Palace.
"Master, wait for me!" Chaos Donkey followed, dragging its bleeding front legs.
"Senior brother, what should we do?" Zhunti looked at Jie Yin helplessly.
"What else can we do? It's because we have neither a strong background nor allies to help us!" Jie Yin sighed helplessly as he watched Nuwa gradually leaving and Tongtian Jiaozhu who had already walked away.
In the end, the two could only fly outside the thirty-third heaven.
Hou Tu flew at an extremely fast speed, constantly shuttling across the void wormholes. Not long after, she successfully returned to the underworld.
She entered the underworld from the Ghost Gate and continued on her way. Wherever she passed, the ghosts prostrated themselves respectfully on the ground and shouted in unison: "Kowtowing to the Earth Mother!"
Hou Tu ignored them, staring straight at the mysterious area inside the restricted area. Her face was covered with frost and murderous intent filled her body, like an iceberg about to explode.
In the blink of an eye, her figure appeared in front of Fengdu Emperor and others. Seeing Hou Tu return so quickly, several people hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Empress!"
"What exactly happened?" Hou Tu looked at the familiar energy fluctuations coming from the Nether Root Veins. At this time, these fluctuations became stronger and stronger. She frowned tightly and looked solemn.
The Emperor of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, hurried out first and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, all of this was done by the Demon-Suppressing Saint Queen's son. That evil thief, Yu Kai, ignored my attempts to stop him, severely injured me, and stormed in. I wonder what he did inside to unleash such terrifying energy fluctuations!"
Hou Tu cast her gaze towards Fengdu Emperor and his companions, and they all nodded hurriedly.
Hou Tu slowly extended her slender finger and gently probed towards the mysterious area. Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the moment her finger touched the area, it was as if it had touched an indestructible steel wall and was violently bounced back.
Hou Tu frowned, looked sharply at the Emperor of Mount Tai, and asked, "How did he get in?"
"He...he..." Dongyue Taishan Emperor was speechless, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He had no idea how Yu Kai had gotten in. He had collapsed heavily in the pit of Fengdu City at the time, completely oblivious to what was happening here. In desperation, he turned to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was also placed in the underworld, for help.
Just as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was about to speak, the Emperor of Fengdu quickly stepped out and recounted the entire story in detail. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I truly had no idea Yu Kai would be your disciple!" His face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled slightly.
Hou Tu frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you hear that Yu Kai was my disciple?"
"It was Lord Shidi who said that. He told me that Yu Kai inherited the legacy of the eleven ancient witches, so he can also be considered your disciple!" Emperor Fengdu replied respectfully with his head lowered.
"It seems that he really inherited the legacy of my elder brother and others. My perception on Saturn was indeed correct. No wonder there is the aura of my elder brother and others in here!" Hou Tu stared at the mysterious space, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and she spoke slowly.
"What? Yu Kai is actually your disciple?" The Emperor of Mount Tai of Dongyue was shocked, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he suddenly looked very flustered, and his body trembled slightly.
At this moment, a sharp sword light flashed like lightning, and a huge gap was instantly cut into the extremely solid mysterious space.
A terrifying wave of air surged into the sky, shaking the earth like a raging tsunami. Unbeknownst to the cause, the Emperor of Fengdu and the others were horrified and immediately retreated with all their might.
However, these violent forces seemed to hit an invisible barrier in front of Hou Tu, making it impossible to cross it. Hou Tu stared at the huge gap with a serious expression, her brows furrowing deeper.
At this moment, a distant yet familiar voice rang out, "Seventh sister, Seventh sister! Seventh sister! Hahahaha!"
As everyone was shocked, figures emitting powerful auras rushed out from inside. Each of them was as tall as a mountain, like an ancient giant god descending. The aura and pressure emanating from their bodies instantly enveloped the entire underworld.
When Fengdu Emperor and others saw this, they all looked incredulous, as if they were under a spell, and just stood there in a daze.
Hou Tu looked at the eleven familiar figures and couldn't help but tremble slightly. Her heart, which had been calm for years, was now as restless as surging waves. Her eyes gradually became moist, and crystal tears slowly slid down her fair cheeks. She could hardly believe what she was seeing.
"Seventh brother, are you happy to see your fifth brother? Hahaha, this kid Yu Kai helped us to resurrect, hahaha!" Zhu Rong looked at Hou Tu with a hearty smile on his face and laughed out loud.
The huge body of the Eleventh Ancestral Witch, which was as big as a mountain, slowly shrank to the size of a normal person. Hou Tu still stood there blankly, still unable to believe that what she saw was real.
"Seventh Brother! You've suffered a lot these years!" Di Jiang walked out slowly with steady steps.
"Brother!" Hou Tu could no longer suppress her inner emotions. She rushed forward like an arrow, threw herself into Dijiang's arms, and burst into tears.
