The river of stars rumbled and propitious vapors rose. The Earth Empress Palace was simple and majestic. The bronze gate was tightly shut. Other than the two Daoist children guarding the gate, the entire Earth Empress Palace was silent.
Chi! Chi!
Demonic light surged, and the void rippled. Thousands of demonic lights streaked across the sky in the distance and instantly appeared in front of the Earth Empress Palace. This also caused the expressions of the two Dao children to change. They immediately scolded the person who came, "How dare you demons! Who allowed you to barge into the Earth Empress Palace without being summoned by Goddess Houtu? Don't you know that this is the Saint's Dao field?"
The two Taoist children were merely Golden Immortals of Allheaven, but they were not afraid in the face of thousands of Great Demons. Instead, they were arrogant. After all, they were the children of the Sages, so they naturally had the right to be arrogant.
Unfortunately, the thousands of demons remained silent in the face of the berating of the two Dao children. They did not reply at all. Instead, they opened up a path and three figures walked over from the end of the path.
"Donghuang Taiyi, you dare to return?"
When Ye Xuan and company arrived at the Earth Empress Palace, one of the Dao children naturally recognized the two demonic emperors. The two Dao children were stunned for a moment before they reprimanded them.
"Go and tell Empress Houtu that an old friend has come to visit. Ask her to come out and meet him." Emperor Jun said coldly.
"Insolent! Her Highness is a Saint! How can she be met just like that? Hurry up and back off …!"
Bang!
Before the two children could finish speaking, a terrifying demonic light slammed into them, causing them to spit out blood and collapse to the ground.
"You … you dare to injure me?"
The two children felt like they were in a dream after being hit by Di Jun's attack. They couldn't believe what they had just experienced.
How dare Emperor Jun attack them? Isn't he afraid that Goddess Houtu will kill him?
At this moment!
Ye Xuan was shrouded in mist, making it impossible for others to see his face. This was to prevent others from recognizing him. After all, the Heavenmender Conference had yet to begin, so it was not appropriate for him to reveal his true appearance.
In Ye Xuan's opinion, it was a trivial matter for Emperor Jun to injure the two Taoist children with one strike.
"How dare you!"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from Earth Empress Palace. The bronze door rumbled open, and the sacred light of samsara surged out from Earth Empress Palace. The sacred might of the Heavenly Dao pressed down on everyone.
"Houtu, I haven't seen you for many years. You haven't grown much, but your temper has."
Before the Sacred Light of Samsara could strike, Ye Xuan's calm voice rang out. The world suddenly froze, and the Sacred Light of Samsara that erupted from the Earth Mother Palace instantly froze. An extremely bewildered voice rang out from the Earth Mother Palace.
"Who are you?"
"You're really forgetful. It's only been thirty thousand years, and you can't even recognize my voice?"
Ye Xuan smiled coldly and strode into the Back of Earth Palace. The two demon thearchs and thousands of great demons quickly followed behind him. Everyone's face was flushed with excitement.
As the saying goes, one can know the whole leopard from a single spot. Since Ye Xuan dared to come here so brazenly, it was obvious that he wasn't afraid of Houtu. His imposing manner naturally boosted the morale of the two demon thearchs and thousands of great demons.
Inside the Earth Mother Palace.
Houtu sat cross-legged in the Sacred Light of Samsara, and the Bell of Chaos floated in front of her. However, at this moment, her aura was extremely chaotic, and her face was full of bewilderment.
"It's you?"
When Ye Xuan came to Houtu with the two demon thearchs, the mist around Ye Xuan dispersed, revealing his true appearance. Houtu's expression changed drastically, and she let out a cry of surprise.
"How dare you appear here?"
Houtu stood up abruptly, and the Sacred Light of Samsara swept across the Void. Her beautiful brows were knitted together, and she looked at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression.
It was this person in front of her who gave her the Primordial Violet Qi, allowing her to successfully become a Saint. She also owed him three conditions. Although she'd already fulfilled two of them, she still owed Ye Xuan one condition.
"The world is vast, and all living things coexist. Why can't I, Ye Xuan, appear here?" Ye Xuan smiled and looked at Houtu with an extremely calm expression.
"Phew!"
Houtu exhaled and gradually calmed down, regaining her dignity as a saint. However, when she looked at the two demon thearchs beside Ye Xuan, her eyes became slightly gloomy, and there was a trace of doubt. She didn't know why Ye Xuan was with the two demon thearchs.
"Speak. You risked being discovered by Senior Sister Nüwa to come and see me. You must want me to fulfill the third condition I promised you. You can state it, and I won't decline."
Houtu had already become a saint, so she naturally didn't care about Ye Xuan. However, she owed Ye Xuan Saint karma, which she had to repay. This made her speak frankly.
"Great."
Ye Xuan clapped and smiled. He didn't want to feign civility with Houtu, so he went straight to the point. "The Bell of Chaos is Donghuang Taiyi's lifelong spiritual treasure. I came to see you this time to ask for it."
"What?"
As Ye Xuan's words fell, Houtu's expression suddenly turned cold, and the way she looked at Ye Xuan became unfriendly.
One had to know that she had just obtained the Bell of Primal Chaos. This was a Primordial Treasure, and in her hands, it could unleash a power that could destroy the heavens and the earth. These few days, she had carefully refined this item, and she loved it even more. However, Ye Xuan actually wanted to take back this item for the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. This caused Houtu's heart to burn with rage.
"Impossible."
Houtu suppressed her anger and refuted Ye Xuan's intentions.
"Oh? It seems that fellow daoist Houtu doesn't want to give me face? "Ye Xuan frowned, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Ye Xuan, although I owe you karma to become a saint, don't be too unreasonable. Change your conditions." Houtu said coldly.
If Ye Xuan hadn't helped her become a saint, Ye Xuan's words today would have made Houtu kill him thousands of times. Houtu could only suppress her anger and hope that Ye Xuan wouldn't go overboard.
Looking at Houtu's furious appearance, Ye Xuan didn't need to guess to know what Houtu was thinking. This made him smile contemptuously. It seemed that Houtu really thought that he dared to appear here because he owed her karma to become a saint.
"In the past, I gave you the Primordial Violet Vapor and asked you to agree to three conditions. You've already fulfilled two of them. The third condition is to return the Bell of Chaos to Donghuang Taiyi." Ye Xuan smiled as if he were talking about something very casual.
"Celestial Emperor, you can't."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Donghuang Taiyi hurriedly stopped him. One had to know that becoming a saint was extremely important. Now that Ye Xuan wanted to help him get the Bell of Chaos back, Donghuang Taiyi was almost moved to tears. However, he also knew that he couldn't let Ye Xuan waste this favor. Otherwise, he'd feel extremely ashamed.
"You …?"
Houtu frowned when she saw Ye Xuan use the third condition as an exchange. Her eyes were filled with extreme anger, but in the end, she could only accept it.
Although a connate supreme treasure was good, it didn't mean that the Bell of Chaos couldn't be used. Perhaps it was to return Ye Xuan's third condition, which was even more important to Houtu.
"Alright, this saint agrees. Take it."
Houtu was a straightforward person. She threw the Bell of Chaos at Ye Xuan. This allowed Ye Xuan to catch the treasure and hand it to Donghuang Taiyi.
"Our karma has been settled. Farewell."
With the Bell of Chaos back, Ye Xuan smiled and turned to leave. This allowed the two great demonic emperors and thousands of great demonic beasts to quickly follow. The process was unexpectedly smooth.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, before Ye Xuan could take three steps, Houtu's cold and gloomy voice rang out. The terrifying sacred light of samsara covered Houtu Palace and blocked Ye Xuan's path.
