"Wuwu... I thought I would never see you again in this life, wuwu... These years, I have been practicing and practicing, hoping to become stronger and find a way to resurrect you!" Houtu hugged Dijiang tightly, her voice filled with tears, pouring out all the grievances that had been buried deep in her heart for all these years.
"We never thought we could meet you again. This is all thanks to you and Yu Kai. He actually found the body of the ancestor witch for us outside, and because of the infinite merits you accumulated in establishing the underworld, you were able to preserve a trace of our souls, which gave us the opportunity to resurrect now." Di Jiang patted her back gently, full of emotion, and patiently explained to her.
Hou Tu slowly stood up, her eyes full of affection as she swept over each of the Ancestral Witches one by one. Her voice choked with sobs as she called out in turn, "Second brother! Third brother... Eleventh brother, Twelfth brother!"
Gonggong and the others all smiled kindly at her, their eyes filled with the joy of being reborn and reunited with their loved ones, their happiness almost overflowing.
Finally, Hou Tu set her gaze on the young man beside her. A gentle smile appeared on her face, and she asked softly, "Are you Luo Yingxue's son?"
Yu Kai quickly knelt down respectfully and said sincerely, "Yu Kai greets Seventh Master. I am Luo Yingxue's son!"
"Your mother is amazing, and you are just as outstanding!" Hou Tu looked Yu Kai up and down, her eyes full of undisguised admiration.
"Thank you for the praise, Seventh Master!" A shy smile appeared on Yu Kai's face. Witnessing the reunion of the twelve masters, he was happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
"I've let you down, and your mother down! If I had intervened, your mother wouldn't have been captured by Asia's people. This is all my fault!" Hou Tu said, her face filled with self-blame, her eyes filled with deep regret. She clearly remembered being at the Demon Control Pass at the time, but ultimately not wanting to expose her strength, she didn't offer a helping hand. Looking back now, she was overwhelmed with guilt.
"Seventh Master, don't blame yourself. I will go to Asia as soon as possible and rescue my mother no matter what!" Yu Kai's eyes were as firm as torches, revealing his unwavering determination.
"Don't you blame me?" Hou Tu looked at Yu Kai with a hint of temptation in her eyes.
Yu Kai shook his head gently, revealing a warm smile, and said firmly: "I believe my mother will be fine!"
"You don't have to worry, your mother is extremely lucky! Although I didn't take action at that time, I also deduced the situation after she was captured. With the protection of noble people, she should be safe now!" Hou Tu walked forward and gently helped him up.
"Really? There is a noble person in Asia who can help my mother?" Yu Kai looked at Hou Tu, his eyes full of expectation, and asked seriously.
"Of course it's true. She is one of my few close friends!" Hou Tu smiled with relief in her smile.
"That's great!" Yu Kai trembled slightly with excitement.
"Yu Kai, don't worry. Now that we are all resurrected, we will definitely help you rescue your mother!" Zhu Rong strode forward, put his arm around Yu Kai's shoulders enthusiastically, and promised seriously.
"Seventh sister, is this Asia very strong? Yu Kai is our disciple, we must save his mother no matter what!" Di Jiang stepped forward and asked solemnly.
"Very strong. Their elders can fight Hongjun to a draw, which shows that their strength is extraordinary! It will be very difficult to save them!" Houtu frowned, with obvious worry in her eyes.
"Seventh sister, what is your current strength? Why can't we see through you?" Zhu Jiuyin asked curiously.
"I have just taken control of the tunnel and now have the strength of an early Heavenly Emperor." Hou Tu responded calmly.
"Emperor of Heaven!" Yu Kai and the others were stunned upon hearing Hou Tu's strength. Yu Kai in particular could never have imagined that the usually low-key and humble Seventh Master could possess such formidable power. His eyes were instantly filled with shock.
"Emperor of Heaven? Then what is Hongjun's strength?" Zhu Jiuyin quickly came to his senses and asked.
"Hongjun integrated the Heavenly Dao in his early years, and should have the strength of a mid-stage Heavenly Emperor." Houtu said solemnly with a serious expression.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect our seventh sister to be so powerful. She is only one realm lower than Hongjun Daozu!" Zhu Rong laughed excitedly, his face full of pride.
"Of course, our seventh sister is not an ordinary person. She is a great being who opened up the underworld!" Gonggong also had a smile on his face, his eyes full of sincere pride.
"Come on, big brother, follow me to my mansion and we will reminisce about the past!" Hou Tu's face was filled with excitement and joy, and she held the hands of Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin affectionately.
"By the way, senior, where is the Devouring Emperor?" Yu Kai suddenly turned his head and asked Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings who was not far away.
"Replying to the Holy Prince! Lord Shidi left a long time ago. He specifically instructed me to notify you to contact him after you come out." Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun became more respectful to Yu Kai and answered carefully.
"Really? I'll contact him right away!" Yu Kai said, and immediately took out the jade talisman for transmitting sound.
At this moment, the Emperor of Fengdu knelt heavily before Hou Tu with a thud, his attitude extremely humble. "Your Majesty, I deserve death. I desperately tried to stop Yu Kai from entering the Netherworld Root Veins, and even nearly wiped him out. I almost ruined his plan to resurrect the ancestors of the witches. Please punish me severely!"
The Great Emperor of Mount Tai, Dongyue, was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper. He collapsed into the void and hurriedly apologized. Especially after hearing about Hou Tu's realm, which was second only to Hongjun Daozu, and now with the support of these eleven ancestral witches, plus the newly broken Emperor Shi, he couldn't imagine how high Hou Tu's status in the prehistoric world would be. His heart was filled with fear and regret.
Hou Tu looked at Yu Kai, her eyes conveying a clear meaning, obviously wanting to see how he would handle the matter.
But before Yu Kai could even open his mouth, Zhu Rong was already furious: "You bastards, it's you guys who almost made it impossible for us to be resurrected!"
He instantly burned with rage, and flames danced wildly around him, making crackling sounds, as if venting his anger. He raised his palm, which was covered in true fire, and fiercely attacked the Emperor of Mount Tai.
The Emperor of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, saw that Zhurong had a ferocious look on his face and was full of murderous intent. How could he dare to just sit there and wait for death? He turned around and ran away.
This action completely angered Zhu Rong. His palm instantly expanded several times, like a giant hand covering the sky, grabbing towards the fleeing Emperor Taishan of Dongyue.
The terrifying true fire seemed to ignite the entire void. For a moment, the entire Fengdu City was shrouded in high temperature, and the scorching breath rushed towards him, suffocating him. Just as the Emperor Taishan of Dongyue was about to escape Fengdu City, he was directly grasped by this huge hand.
There was a loud "bang" and the Emperor Taishan of Dongyue in the big hand let out a shrill scream and was instantly crushed into powder.
