Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. They never imagined that someone as strong as Goddess Houtu would actually be forced back by SongZhong even with the Divine Tool Houtu Shrine in hand. Wasn't this Bell of Primal Chaos a little too perverse?
However, as the person involved, Song Zhong knew his own difficulties. Although he looked awe-inspiring and defeated the famous Goddess Houtu until she fled in a sorry state, she was not injured at all. But in reality, he was completely unscathed, while SongZhong used up all the immortal Qi in his Natal Artifact.
Therefore, although Song Zhong had the upper hand on the surface, he was actually at a disadvantage. As long as Goddess Houtu made a comeback, she could make use of the rustic air of the Blood Lotus Island to beat Song Zhong up again.
However, just as Song Zhong was seriously considering whether he should surrender or not, Goddess Houtu suddenly sneered. Goddess Houtu suddenly snorted coldly, "What a good SongZhong. Count yourself lucky today, I admit defeat! From now on, I won't interfere in the feud between you and Patriarch Blood River! "
After saying that, Goddess Houtu controlled the Houtu Shrine to turn around and leave. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, SongZhong was elated as he thought to himself, 'This Goddess Hou Tu is indeed someone of status. She lost to me in a single move on the surface and immediately admitted defeat. It is rare to see someone with such ambition. I can't be impolite to such a person! '
Thinking of this, Song Zhong hurriedly bowed respectfully in the direction that Goddess Houtu had left. At the same time, he shouted, "Song Zhong is ashamed. Thank you for letting me win, Goddess! If I've offended you today, I'll definitely come to apologize another day! "
When Goddess Houtu heard Song Zhong's words, she couldn't help but laugh bitterly in her heart, I didn't mean to let you win. There's nothing I can do about it!
One had to know that if it were anywhere else, with the Houtu Temple's understanding of the Houtu Temple, suppressing the immature Chaos Bell wouldn't be a big deal. However, who would have thought that the battle would take place in the Nether Blood Sea. In this place, the only place that could provide a large amount of Earth Qi was the Blood Lotus Island.
However, this Blood Lotus Island was really too small. Just now, I had already sucked away most of the Earth Energy. The remaining Earth Energy could barely support the island. If I sucked it all away, the entire island would definitely collapse like a building made of sand.
If that was the case, the Blood Lotus Island would still be lost. Instead, it would be destroyed by Goddess Houtu, the protector of the Blood Lotus Island. That would be embarrassing, and it would be even harder to explain to Patriarch Blood River.
Moreover, even if he did this, he would not be able to defeat Song Zhong's Bell of Chaos. At most, he would have the upper hand. In the end, it would still end in a draw. And for someone of Goddess Houtu's status, a draw was a failure. There was nothing to explain.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Goddess Houtu finally decided to take a step back. This was also good for Patriarch Blood River. As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope. As long as the foundation of the Blood Lotus Island was still there, Patriarch Blood River could wait for an opportunity to rise again even if he lost the Torch Dragon Lamp.
On the contrary, if his hometown was destroyed by Song Zhong, Patriarch Blood River would be alone even if he became a Saint-level expert. In the end, he would still be killed by the perverted Song Zhong.
It was precisely because of these considerations that Goddess Houtu made such a decision.
When she retreated, she saw that Song Zhong had saved her face. Her originally dispirited mood improved slightly. Therefore, she said to Song Zhong, "As the saying goes, leave a way out for everything in order to meet again in the future! Your father-in-law isn't the kind of person who insists on doing things his own way. I think if you can wait for him here for a few days, he should come here to see you! "
When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately understood what Goddess Houtu meant. She was clearly saying that she wanted Patriarch Blood River to come here to apologize and return the Torch Dragon Lamp at the same time. Therefore, she hoped that Song Zhong wouldn't be ruthless to the Blood Lotus Island!
Song Zhong's goal was none other than the Torch Dragon Lamp. Since Patriarch Blood River was willing to return it, he was naturally happy to be at ease. After all, the Asura Tribe was Xue 'er's mother's tribe. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Song Zhong wasn't willing to kill them all!
Therefore, he hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'm willing to wait here for a month. As long as Father-in-law can personally appear, I think this matter can be resolved perfectly!"
When Goddess Houtu heard Song Zhong's words, she immediately knew that he only wanted the Torch Dragon Lamp back and had no intention of killing Asura. Thus, she nodded and said, "Alright, I will pass your message to him!"
After saying that, Goddess Houtu's aura completely disappeared. Clearly, she had gone far away!
After watching the Lady of Earth leave, Song Zhong hurriedly put away his Dharma Idol. Then, he excitedly ordered, "Surround this place. Don't let even a mosquito out!"
After saying that, Song Zhong hurriedly went back into seclusion to adjust his breathing. This time, he had forcefully increased his strength. Although he felt great at the time, it had also brought about a series of problems. His meridians and internal organs were all shattered by the immortal energy that was forcefully poured into his body. His injuries were not light, and he had to consume spirit medicine to nourish himself. Otherwise, there would be no end of trouble.
After Song Zhong went into seclusion, the people below surrounded the entire Blood Lotus Island under Lian Bai's command. The ten thousand warships were divided into four parts, each of them guarding the four cardinal directions. Although this couldn't stop a single expert from sneaking in or out, it could stop most people from escaping. And this had already achieved their goal.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Song Zhong, who was recuperating in seclusion, had finally recovered with the help of a large number of spirit medicine. He was still thinking about the Blood River Ancestor's surrender, so he didn't wait for his injuries to heal before he came out.
After Song Zhong came out, he immediately gathered all the generals in the main hall of the Xuan Ji Heavenly Fire Divine Boat. Then, he asked Lian Bai, "Has the Blood River Ancestor arrived?"
Lian Bai shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen him at all!"
"Hmm?" As SongZhong heard that, he frowned and said, "According to what Goddess Houtu said, Blood River Ancestor should have arrived long ago. After all, the Houtu Divine Palace isn't far from here. With Blood River Ancestor's speed, he should be able to reach here in less than three days. Now that seven days have passed, why isn't he here yet?"
"I don't know either!" Lian Bai said, "But the Blood Lotus Island has been peaceful recently. There hasn't been any abnormalities."
"Is that so?" Song Zhong frowned, then turned to Xiao Cha and asked, "Baby, have you figured anything out?"
Xiao Cha looked up from a pile of fresh fruits, thought for a moment, and said, "The Blood River Ancestor has the Torch Dragon Lantern. That level of innate sacred tool has the innate ability to block divination. Even I can't see anything!"
"Huh?" Song Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Then, doesn't that mean we know nothing about him? That's not good! "
Xiao Cha frowned again and thought for a moment, then said, "Although I don't know what the Blood River Ancestor is up to, I have a feeling that something is not right! We shouldn't stay here any longer, otherwise, something might happen! "
"Yes!" Song Zhong jumped to his feet and shouted, "Could it be that the Blood River Ancestor didn't come back according to Goddess Houtu's order? Instead, he found someone else to help him and wants to fight us to the death?"
"That's possible, but I can't guarantee it!" Xiao Cha said, "But I have a feeling that this crisis is no small matter. It's better to avoid it as soon as possible!"
"Hmph! Of course, we have to avoid it! "Song Zhong said viciously," But we can't let the Blood River Ancestor get away with it! "
After that, Song Zhong ordered angrily, "Men, assemble all the cannons and aim them at the Blood Lotus Island. Give it a good shot!"
As he said that, SongZhong suddenly stopped. He wanted to raze the Blood Lotus Island to the ground before he left. But at the last moment, he suddenly remembered that Blood River Ancestor wanted to fight him to the death. It was only his own deduction, and it was not the truth!
If he razed the Blood Lotus Island to the ground because of his speculation, and the Blood River Ancestor listened to Goddess Houtu's order and came to make peace with him, Song Zhong would be in deep trouble. If that were to happen, then SongZhong would be like Zhu Bajie looking at himself in the mirror.
Not only would he offend Goddess Houtu, but he would also be sorry to his wife, Shura Xue. That was why Song Zhong stopped his order at the last moment.
It was easy to kill someone, but it was difficult to regret killing the wrong person.
However, although Song Zhong didn't have any evidence, he felt that the Blood River Ancestor was the one behind all this. Destroying the Blood Lotus Island was the right thing to do!
As such, with such complicated thoughts, SongZhong was caught in a dilemma. He did not know if he should trust his instincts or leave a way out and not go to the extreme.
Everyone knew what Song Zhong was worried about, and they knew that he was in a difficult position. Therefore, no one urged him. They just silently ordered their subordinates to aim the cannons at the Blood Lotus Island and waited for Song Zhong's final order to fire.
At that moment, someone suddenly came in and reported, "My Lord, Princess Shura Tingting of the Ashura Tribe and the Third Prince Shura Feng Lianfeng are outside!"
As SongZhong heard that, he immediately understood. They must have seen his fleet aiming the cannons at the Blood Lotus Island and were afraid. Therefore, they rushed here to find out what was going on!
Their arrival made SongZhong's eyes light up, and he immediately made a decision in his heart!
Song Zhong laughed and said, "Quickly, let them in!"
Not long after, Princess Shura Tingting and the Third Prince Shura Feng Lianfeng were brought in front of Song Zhong. Both of their faces were filled with anxiousness, afraid that they would be a step too late and allow SongZhong to fire his cannon.
