The Witch Clan Watched Over the Human Clan
The Pangu Hall is permeated with an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
The true forms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches were projected around the main hall, their powerful Physical Body will pressing down on the space like invisible Shanyue.
Because Houtu oversees Reincarnation, her illusory form appears the most solid, carrying a rich aura of the Youming.
Although she has become Earth Dao Saint, on par with the Heavenly Dao, the ancestral home of the Witch Clan is still her root. Moreover, the Earthly Dao is different from the Heavenly Dao, which only speaks of Heavenly Mandate. The Earthly Dao is profound and encompasses all things.
She recounted in detail the latest developments in the conflict between humans and demons that she had gathered from her surroundings, especially the discovery by the Human Clan that they could use demons to refine pills and thus increase their strength, as well as the Demon Clan' creation of Human Soul Weapon to fight against the Witch Clan.
"Human Clan?" The illusory figure of the Qiangliang Ancestral Witch roared, "Those little mud figures, they've finally stood up for themselves? Daring to bite back at the Demon Clan, they do have some guts!"
He is the phantom of a muscular giant, with a fiery temper and a lifelong reverence for strength.
"Hmph, no matter how much they jump around, they're still just ants! Those useless Demon Clan can't even keep an eye on their own domesticated Blood Food!" The poisonous phantom of Shebishi churned, his words filled with contempt for the Demon Clan.
"No, this may well be an opportunity for our Witch Clan!" A relatively calm and deep voice rang out; it was Jumang, the Wood Ancestral Witch Jumang.
He had a favorable impression of Jiang Yun and also held goodwill towards the Human Clan.
"Human Clan and my race have a long history, share similar Dao bodies, intermarry frequently, and live in harmony."
Now, they hate demons to the bone and have had actual conflicts with the Demon Clan!
This is the perfect opportunity to win over the human race and strengthen our own! Brother Dijiang," Jumang looked at the Ancestral Witch Dijiang at the highest point in the center, "Why not send tribal warriors to strengthen ties with the human race?"
They can even teach some basic Witch patterns Body Tempering techniques to help them slay demons!
The more Human Clan there is in fighting the Demon Clan, the less pressure our race will face on the front lines!
"Join forces? Help those mud-bodied people?" Qiangliang's voice was full of disdain. "What use are they? Just because they eat Demon Core?"
In his view, the slight increase in the Human Clan strength was still insignificant on the main battlefield of the Witch-Demon Wars.
"The strength of the Human Clan lies in its potential, background, and learning ability!" Jumang argued forcefully. "They cultivate Martial Dao and the Golden Core Method, and they have Jiang Yun and the Saint backing them up. Now they have discovered the way to replenish their qi and blood by eating demons."
Their rapid development should not be underestimated!
More importantly, they are highly perceptive and creative!
Moreover, although the individual members of this group are all weak, their reproduction rate is astonishing, to some extent compensating for quality with quantity.
He specifically emphasized the last point: the difficulty in the reproduction of the Witch Clan has always been like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
"The Bloodline of that Witch-Human has provided our people with a new path to new strength!"
Their enemy is the Demon Clan, the same kind of enemy as ours!
"Isn't it good to have another ally to share the burden of the Demon Clan's minions?"
"Jumang is right." Zhujiuyin's time illusion flickered, his voice ancient and weathered, "The Human Clan can help our race to divert some of the Demon Clan's attention."
However, the root of the conflict between humans and demons lies not only in blood feuds, but also in that Human Soul Weapon!
Zhujiuyin's gaze sharpened. "According to Houtu, and the reports from our Scouts, the Demon Clan is intensifying its efforts to forge weapons imbued with the resentment of human souls!"
This weapon possesses a unique armor-piercing effect on the Pangu body, which our race is so proud of!
That Grievance and Malice power can erode the Physical Body defenses formed by the Witch Blood; this is the real threat!
"Human Soul Weapon?" Gonggong's raging phantom trembled violently. "The resentment of the Human Clan souls is a deadly poison to our Physical Body? How absurd!"
"Excellent!" Zhu Zhurong's fiery phantom burned fiercely. "Since the Human Clan can produce such vicious things targeting our race, what if these things are used by the Demon Clan in the future, or even if the Human Clan itself is interested in them... what then?"
This worry, like a chilling wind, instantly lowered the temperature in the hall.
Even Jumang, who supported the alliance, was speechless.
Yes, using the power of the Human Clan resentment to forge Human Soul Weapon capable of breaking through the Witch Clan's defenses is far too sensitive for the Witch Clan!
The Witch Clan revered Physical Body invincibility, relying on the indestructible body of Pangu.
Now, a Human Clan they originally thought was an "ally" or even a "weak brother" could become the source of a sharp spear that breaks through their shield!
This undoubtedly cast a huge, lingering shadow over their hearts.
"Hmph! Human Clan! Don't trust them!" Qiangliang's voice rang out again, filled with vigilance. "Let them fight the Demon Clan; weakening the Demon Clan is a good thing!"
But we must not be careless in our precautions!
The Witch-Human tribe can absorb more Human Clan to strengthen their integration, but those Human Soul Weapon must never be allowed near their core territory!
Finally, the spatial phantom of Dijiang made its judgment, its voice like the clang of metal on metal:
Human Clan can use it, but they still need to be very careful!
Jumang and Gonggong, you the Two will select elite Great Witch and send them to large Human Clan bordering the Demon Clan race, such as the Blazing Sun Tribe, to formally form an alliance!
They will teach basic witchcraft techniques, share intelligence on the Demon Clan race, and help them resist small groups of the Demon Clan invading!
If a large force of the Demon Clan attacks, you may decide, depending on the situation, whether to retreat to preserve your own safety.
With the protection of the Witch Clan, the Human Clan began a protracted and covert struggle against the Demon Clan.
As time passed, this bloody war of attrition, which had lasted for many years, reached a turning point on a brutal battlefield called "Broken Spine Gorge," which would ignite everything.
This place is located in a sensitive area where the Witch-Demon Front and the Human Clan settlements intersect.
A fierce battle broke out, with the elite Witch Clan by a powerful Great Witch leader facing off against a Demon Clan king of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal named "Soul Devouring Ancestor," whose true form was a hybrid of the ancient ferocious beast Suanni and a Yin spirit, and whose Demon Army was also considerable.
At the start of the battle, the Witch Clan, relying on their unparalleled Physical Body strength and the Baleful Qi aura of their Great Witch, charged forward and nearly tore the Demon Army apart.
The sounds of Physical Body colliding, weapons clashing, and the screams of the dying mingled together.
However, just as the Witch Clan gained the upper hand, the Soul Devouring Ancestor revealed a cruel and insane grin on his face.
He suddenly summoned a short cone with an extremely bizarre shape. The cone was not made of metal, but rather had a nauseating dark red color, as if it were soaked in congealed blood. Countless twisted, howling gray Vengeful Souls phantoms were wrapped around the cone!
An indescribable chill, filth, and an aura filled with endless pain and despair erupted, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield and even suppressing the boiling bloodlust that the Witch Clan Warriors were so proud of.
"You Witch Clan children, taste the Myriad Sins Witch-Piercing Thorn your ancestor specially crafted for you!"
The Soul Devouring Ancestor roared, frantically pouring all his demonic power into the cone.
The short cone hummed and trembled, then suddenly transformed into a scarlet lightning bolt, piercing straight towards the "Great Witch Panshi" who was charging at the forefront and was known for his Physical Body defense!
