Chapter 719 - 719 251 Awakening Ancestral Witch of Earth!_3

719: Chapter 251 Awakening, Ancestral Witch of Earth!_3 719: Chapter 251 Awakening, Ancestral Witch of Earth!_3 Li Ping’an sighed inwardly.

As he had guessed, the Holy Mother would certainly not stand by and watch Hou Tu suffer such a miserable fate without intervening.

‘Master, let’s go over.’

Qing Su nodded gently and followed beside Li Ping’an.

Countless pitch-black arms reached out from the underground dark waters, while ink-colored raindrops fell from the sky.

The master and disciple were wrapped in two layers of immortal essence, and they moved forward, resembling two torches accompanying each other through the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.

They arrived at the location of the flickering light, where Li Ping’an crouched down, observing the beautiful woman curled up within the flame.

That was Hou Tu.

‘Holy Mother Hou Tu?’

‘Daoist friend?’

‘Ancestor Witch Hou Tu?’

Li Ping’an called out softly a few times, but the flame gave no response.

Qing Su suddenly said, ‘The children are all hungry.’

‘Hmm?’

The flame flickered softly, sending a shallow ripple across, then suddenly expanded, enlarging to reveal a pale white lotus within.

Then, the petals of the lotus slowly bloomed, unveiling a lotus platform and the woman lying peacefully upon it.

The woman opened her bleary eyes, which shimmered with rainbow light but also carried an undertone of inescapable fatigue.

Propping herself up unsteadily, she took a light breath, her hands adeptly forming seals, as if to invoke the laws of earth.

But halfway through her motions, dark chains appeared around her.

‘What has happened to me…’

‘My body is trapped outside…’

‘It feels like I’ve been asleep for a long time; how are my people…’

‘Daoist friend Hou Tu.’

The sound of Li Ping’an’s voice came, infused with all the gentleness he had accumulated in his life thus far.

The woman turned and looked over, seeing the man and woman enveloped in two layers of immortal essence.

In Hou Tu’s rainbow-colored eyes, a hint of confusion flickered.

Li Ping’an bowed his hands and said, ‘Descendant of the Human Race, Li Ping’an, has come to assist you in escaping danger.

You fell into darkness twenty thousand years ago…

The Witch Clan is safe, and now the Western Sect is exerting pressure.

The Human Emperor has agreed that I may lend my assistance to the Ancestor Witch.’

Hou Tu paused, looked down at her palm, and noticed wisps of black qi emerging along the edges.

She said, ‘Did I fall asleep just now?’

‘It seems so,’ Li Ping’an said, ‘Daoist friend, let’s talk about these matters later, Can you regain control of your Dao Body?

If you can, things will be much simpler.’

‘It should be possible…

Has the Human Race forgiven us?’

Hou Tu asked eagerly yet softly, ‘It was our fault back then.

Whatever conditions the Human Race has, both Xuan Ming and I would agree.

The Land of the Northern Continent truly cannot prosper.’

Qing Su pointed at Li Ping’an and said, ‘He is the Heavenly Emperor.

He will have the final word on the future of heaven and earth.’

‘Master, I haven’t officially succeeded the throne yet,’ Li Ping’an hurriedly said.

‘Rest assured, Daoist friend, the Human Emperor has already been here.

The divine incarnation Fenghou and our senior Cangjie are right above us.

You should be able to sense their Dao Charm.’

‘The clan has many more members…’

Hou Tu sighed softly, ‘Food supplies are going to be insufficient again.

I need to cultivate more land.’

‘Daoist friend!’

With a light shout from Li Ping’an, a strand of Heavenly Dao’s power transformed into golden lightning that struck Hou Tu’s forehead.

Hou Tu’s body shuddered, and her eyes brightened a bit more.

‘Sorry,’ Hou Tu raised her hand to touch her forehead, ‘I am indeed a bit unwell.’

Li Ping’an frowned and said, ‘Daoist friend, do not dwell on anything right now, just meditate here…

Try to recall the joyful memories from the ancient and archaic eras.

When I call for you outside, do your best to walk out of this place.’

Hou Tu nodded gently, a hint of unease in her eyes, ‘Thank you, Daoist friend.’

Qing Su said, ‘Let my Primordial Spirit stay here.

I have the unblemished Dao heart, and the Demonic Qi cannot harm me.

The sword of the Holy Mother can suppress the Demonic Qi here.’

‘Then we might as well leave the sword behind.’

Li Ping’an quickly grabbed Qing Su’s arm, gave a slight nod to Hou Tu, and backed away directly.

He and Qing Su both opened their eyes; in front of them was still the Octagon Altar and the pool of black water.

Li Ping’an said solemnly, ‘Master, do not risk danger lightly.’

‘Very well,’ Qing Su threw the sheathed Treasure Sword into the dark pool.

The sword hovered on its own, emitting a cyan-blue light.

Li Ping’an looked towards the altar, the steps to cleanse the Demonic Qi took shape in his mind.

There should be no delay; the time to act was today!

Meanwhile;

In the poison-filled forest surrounding the Witch Clan territory, a Jade Cicada quietly landed on a tree branch, closely watching the area of the Witch Clan, its eyes reflecting several powerful traces of Dao Charm.
