Chapter 174 - 172: Beheading as a Gift Accompanied by Wine
[Two Chapters combined, that’s three updates, isn’t it?]
Meanwhile, Ksitigarbha King, employing a desperate fighting method, had driven back the Nether River, and the crowd sat on the ground healing their wounds.
Wukong, possessing Hongmeng Purple Qi, naturally healed at an extremely fast pace. Although the injuries on his Primordial Spirit were not fully healed, his tendons and bones were already unimpeded. He got up and couldn’t help but slap his thigh and curse, "Not good! The Nether River is probably going to trouble my Water Curtain Cave."
Ksitigarbha King then said, "Don’t worry, just now Equal Mind Goddess passed me a message, the Nether River has honestly returned to the Asura Blood Sea."
Wukong wondered, "If Xuan Ming says so, then it must be true, but how can the Nether River be so honest?"
Ksitigarbha King thought to himself, "Would she let you be besieged for no reason? It seems that Nether River must have suffered a heavy loss at the Water Curtain Cave!"
The eleven Ancestral Witches were not too severely injured; only Blood God Child was formidable, causing their Three Flowers and Five Qi to become disordered, slightly injuring their Life Essence. However, they were originally transformed from the Pangu Physical Body, immensely vigorous in energy. After meditating for a while, they had almost completely recovered, almost perfectly.
"Thank you, Ancestral Witches, for your help," Wukong said, bowing to the eleven.
"Don’t be polite, we were merely looking out for ourselves. If we allowed the Nether River to slaughter the people of this world, our Reincarnation Underworld would also be ruined," Di Jiang said.
