"Be it Meng Po or Houtu, a name is just a title. Why are you so conflicted?" Meng Po whispered in a hoarse voice.
"No, no, no!"
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "The Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were transformed from Pangu's Blood Essence, but they were not harmonious. Otherwise, they would not have been seriously injured in the Great Tribulation of Witches and Demons. But I find one thing very strange. As one of the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, you stayed in the Nether World. It's hard to believe that you don't have any ulterior motives, right?"
Although Ye Xuan had guessed from the very beginning that Granny Meng was Houtu, there was one thing he was still puzzled about. That was why Houtu transformed into Granny Meng and what the so-called Resurrection Lily had to do with her.
Everything that happened today was obviously a trap set by Meng Po. What was her purpose? Ye Xuan had some guesses, but he still had some doubts.
Silence, speechlessness, silence!
Meng Po, no, she should be called Houtu. Houtu was a little silent, and her aura was a little low. Obviously, she did not want to answer Ye Xuan's question, because it was related to a big secret of hers.
"Why do you have to make things difficult for me? This Flower of the Other Shore is useless to you. As long as you return it to me, I will repay you a great favor in the future." Houtu straightened her stooped body and looked at Ye Xuan with bright eyes. Her words were even more powerful.
Looking at Houtu's solemn face, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "How great is your favor?"
"It's not less than the Sage's karma. Is it possible?" Meng Po said in a low voice.
"Hiss!"
As Houtu's words fell, several people present gasped. Even Ye Xuan's expression changed, and he looked at Houtu with surprise and doubt.
Sage's karma?
Sage's karma was divided into good and evil. The evil karma must be settled, and the good karma must be returned.
To make a simple analogy, in the past, the East Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun of the Demon Race had invited Nüwa. However, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had issued a decree not to allow the Saint to appear. However, in order to repay the favor of the two Demon Emperors, Nüwa still disobeyed the Dao Ancestor's decree and supported the Ancient Demon Court.
From this, one could see how terrifying a Sage's karma was. ,
Furthermore, if Nüwa wasn't afraid of the karma of a Saint, she wouldn't have kept trying to kill Ye Xuan. What she was afraid of was the bad karma she had with Ye Xuan. When Ye Xuan became a Saint, he would settle the score with her.
So, Saint Karma could be said to be the greatest in the three dimensions. Yet now, Houtu actually dared to say that it wasn't inferior to Saint Karma. So, how could everyone here not be shocked?
"Could it be that the Red Spider Lily can really make you a Saint?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. He held the flower in his palm and calmly sensed it. However, apart from the terrifying power contained in the Red Spider Lily and the profound meaning of life, death, and reincarnation, there was nothing else.
"Ye Xuan, you can't give this to her."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Patriarch Nether River hurriedly sent a voice transmission because he believed that if the Red Spider Lily could really become a Saint, then with Ye Xuan's current cultivation level, he would definitely be the best candidate.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was calmly sensing the fluctuations of the Red Spider Lily. His brows gradually knitted together.
No!
Ye Xuan directly denied that the Red Spider Lily could become a Saint because he was already a Half-Saint and had experienced the second tribulation of the Heavenly Dao. He was only one step away from being comparable to the Saint of Merit.
If the power contained in the Red Spider Lily could really make him a Saint, he would have sensed it immediately instead of being entangled with Houtu.
However, if the Red Spider Lily couldn't make anyone a Saint, why did Houtu value it so much? What secrets did she have?
A riddle was placed in front of Ye Xuan, and only Houtu could solve it.
In fact, Ye Xuan had stayed in the Underworld for so long not because he was interested in the Red Spider Lily, but because he could vaguely sense that the Red Spider Lily might be his third tribulation of the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, Houtu was one of the 12 Ancient Grand Shamans and an outstanding figure among the Grand Shamans. He wanted to know the whereabouts of the Time Grand Shaman Candle Dragon and Space Grand Shaman Di Jiang from Houtu. This was his true objective.
"Ye Xuan, although your cultivation level is Tongtian and I'm no match for you, I still want to give you a piece of advice. The Red Spider Lily is extremely important to Houtu. It's useless even if you take it. Why don't you help Houtu and form a good relationship with her?" Cakravarti King frowned.
"What if I don't want to form a good relationship with her?" Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts with a strange smile on his face.
"You …?"
Cakravarti King was enraged when he saw that Ye Xuan was unmoved by force or persuasion. He wished he could kill Ye Xuan with one blow, but he also knew that he was no match for Ye Xuan. Therefore, he could only speak with hatred. There was nothing he could do to Ye Xuan.
"Ye Daoyou, although your cultivation level has surpassed that of a Sage-to-be, I just don't want to be your enemy. Why do you have to force me?"
Houtu strolled toward Ye Xuan. Her body was still bent and her footsteps were slightly unsteady. She looked like an old woman in her twilight years. However, the heavens and earth suddenly became oppressive and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.
"You're no match for me." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes as he watched Meng Po walk toward him.
"Of course I know I'm no match for you. However, you don't know that the Red Spider Lily and I share the same origin. Since you're unwilling to return it to me, I have no choice but to take it myself." Houtu said in a hoarse voice.
Buzz!
Suddenly, as soon as Houtu finished speaking, something extremely strange happened.
The heavens and earth vanished and the void became chaotic. The Red Spider Lily in Ye Xuan's hand swayed and strangely turned into a golden light that shot toward Meng Po.
"Huh?"
Ye Xuan frowned in the face of this sudden situation. One had to know that he'd already suppressed the Resurrection Lily in his hand, but this object had actually broken through his restraints. How could this not shock Ye Xuan?
"Come!"
Ye Xuan stretched out his finger and directly grabbed towards the Resurrection Lily. At this moment, the entire world was sealed, but what happened in the next moment caused Ye Xuan's expression to be filled with shock.
Rumble!
Ye Xuan's palm and fingers passed through the Red Spider Lily as if he had grabbed a mass of air. The Red Spider Lily turned into a golden light and instantly fell into Houtu's hand.
"Sigh!"
A long sigh came from Houtu's mouth. She quietly held onto the Red Spider Lily. Her withered hair fluttered in the absence of wind and her turbid eyes were somewhat erratic.
"The Red Spider Lily blooms, the flower blooms on the other shore. Year after year, day after day, day after day. The world only knows that the Red Spider Lily is a great wonder of the Underworld. However, they don't know that the Red Spider Lily and I share the same origin. When I live, it lives, and when I die, it dies." Houtu didn't even look at Ye Xuan as she spoke in a hoarse and trembling voice.
"Houtu, hurry up and start. If you delay, something unexpected will happen."
When the Red Spider Lily fell into Houtu's hand, Chakravarti Wang Red's face flushed red and he let out a low roar. His eyes turned crimson, proving how excited he was at this moment.
