The Human Race Worships Nuwa

"There's also that Witch Clan. They're strange from head to toe."

"A loss is a loss. Enough with the excuses. I told you long ago that you had no chance against Kuafu!"

A booming voice rang out in the main hall, provoking Gui Che to glare furiously.

Ci Tie glared back without yielding. "What? Are you dissatisfied?"

Watching the two bicker, Di Jun snorted coldly.

Gui Che and Ci Tie shuddered, instantly falling silent.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Tai Yi helped smooth things over. "Big Brother, why not hear what Gui Che has to say?"

"After all, the Witch Clan was transformed from the bloodline of the Great God Pangu. Perhaps some change has occurred."

Only then did Di Jun calm down somewhat. He looked at Gui Che and said, "Tell me specifically. What happened?"

Gui Che hurriedly said, "Lord Di Jun, it was like this. During the battle just now, I discovered..."

Then Gui Che recounted everything he had seen and heard in detail.

Finally, Gui Che hesitated before saying, "I don't know why, but I feel that the Witch Clan is somewhat stronger now than it was five hundred years ago."

"Do you think I don't know how strong the Witch Clan is?"

"Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is incredibly slow. How much stronger could they have become in five hundred years?"

Di Jun narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

He felt that Gui Che was merely searching for an excuse for his crushing defeat.

Gui Che's back was already drenched in cold sweat. He cried out, "Lord Di Jun, every word I've said is true!"

Seeing that Gui Che still wanted to argue, Di Jun's expression turned even colder.

Just as he was about to punish Gui Che, Bai Ze stepped forward.

"Lord Di Jun, I also paid attention during the battle. What Gui Che said should be true."

Di Jun's eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh? Are you certain?"

In the Heavenly Court, Bai Ze was the one whom Di Jun and Tai Yi valued most.

Among the Ten Demon Marshals, Bai Ze possessed the deepest wisdom and was essentially their military strategist.

Thus, when even Bai Ze said this, Di Jun had no choice but to take it more seriously.

Seeing Di Jun hesitate, Gui Che cast Bai Ze a grateful look.

After pondering for a moment, Di Jun glanced at Gui Che.

"Since Bai Ze has spoken for you, we'll investigate this. But if what you said is false, hmph!"

Although Bai Ze had vouched for him, Di Jun still found it difficult to believe that the Witch Clan had grown stronger.

"Thank you, Lord Di Jun!" Gui Che was delighted upon hearing this.

Di Jun snorted softly, and two diagrams suddenly appeared above his head.

His companion spiritual treasures—the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The River Diagram and Luo Script!

As the River Diagram and Luo Script appeared, scenes of the battle from earlier immediately manifested within the main hall.

At first, everyone pointed at Gui Che within the illusion with skeptical expressions.

But as time passed, everyone's expression gradually turned solemn.

"The Witch Clan's physical bodies have really reached such a formidable level?"

Ci Tie was somewhat astonished.

Gui Che, meanwhile, clenched his fists.

The scene displayed in the illusion happened to show him being beaten down by Kuafu.

However, no one paid attention to the battle between the two. Their focus was on the Witch Clan and Demon Race below.

In particular, it was on Xuan Si, who was surrounded by the Witch Clan.

"What a cunning Witch Clan." Ci Tie gritted his teeth.

Everyone could see that the Witch Clan surrounding Xuan Si was at the same early Golden Immortal stage as him.

"Hmph, they're nothing but barbarians. What do they know?"

"The key point is that this rhinoceros demon can't break through the physical body of a Witch at the same cultivation realm."

"If you were all Golden Immortals, would you be confident you could withstand this Divine Ability head-on?"

Di Jun's words immediately plunged everyone into silence.

Everyone's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Tai Yi said solemnly, "How exactly did the Witch Clan temper their physical bodies?"

Even the dignified Eastern Emperor felt considerable pressure at this moment.

There was even a trace of... envy.

Gui Che spoke up. "When I fought Kuafu, I likewise couldn't break through his physical body."

"This sort of situation was common throughout the battlefield earlier."

As he spoke, Gui Che even shot Ci Tie a glance.

Weren't you capable? What would you do in this situation?

Everyone was horrified at this moment, and Ci Tie was no exception.

At first, those words didn't seem like much, but the more they thought about them, the more alarmed they became.

The Witch Clan had displayed such formidable strength in this battle.

What about the other members of the Witch Clan? Even the Ancestral Witches?

Ying Zhao's eyes shifted slightly. "I received word earlier that the human race began refining pills for the Witch Clan five hundred years ago. Could this be related?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly turned toward Ying Zhao, their eyes filled with shock.

Chapter 20: The Human Race Worships Nuwa

"Is it that race created by Empress Wa?"

Bai Ze was the first to remember the human race.

After Bai Ze's reminder, everyone else also came to their senses, their eyes filled with even greater astonishment.

Ci Tie asked incredulously, "Ying Zhao, could you have made a mistake?"

"That human race is so frail. They're merely a minor race. Can they refine pills?"

Whenever pills were mentioned, the first people who came to mind were naturally great powers like Laozi and Zhen Yuanzi.

Yet now they were being told it was the human race?

Wasn't this contrast a little too great?!

"Ying Zhao, are you certain it was the human race?" Bai Ze looked at Ying Zhao, and the feather fan in his hand unconsciously began moving faster.

There was another matter they had not mentioned.

The human race was merely blood food in the eyes of the other demon races.

Because Nuwa was one of the four Demon Emperors, this was a secret known to everyone in the Heavenly Court.

Ying Zhao seemed to have seen what Bai Ze was thinking, but he still nodded firmly.

"Do you all remember Dang Hu?"

Bai Ze pondered for a moment. "The guardian under your command?"

Everyone's eyes shifted slightly.

Dang Hu was a great demon, so they had some impression of him.

Among all the great demons in the Heavenly Court, he was also the one closest to Shouyang Mountain.

Ying Zhao nodded. "That's right. Him."

"I learned that the human race could refine pills from one of his clansmen."

"Back then, they followed Dang Hu to Shouyang Mountain and personally witnessed that the human race had pill refiners."

Ci Tie moved closer to Ying Zhao and asked solemnly, "What about Dang Hu?"

Ying Zhao's voice turned slightly cold. "He was killed after going to Shouyang Mountain."

"The one who killed him was Hou Yi."

Di Jun frowned at Ying Zhao. "Why didn't you tell me about something this important?"

Ying Zhao said apologetically, "Lord Di Jun, I secretly sent people to Shouyang Mountain at first, but every time, they encountered members of the Witch Clan halfway there."

"Later, the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Witch Clan grew increasingly intense, so I didn't pay much attention to this matter..."

As he spoke, Ying Zhao unconsciously lowered his head.

"Even if the human race really has pill refiners, so what? Could they have enabled the Witch Clan to temper their physical bodies to this extent in a mere five hundred years? Could one human really accomplish that?"

Ci Tie was somewhat dismissive.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the Witch Clan's innate foundation was indeed beyond that of the Demon Race.

It was even more powerful than the human race.

Moreover, the Witch Clan was countless times larger than the human race.

Just thinking about it made the whole thing feel like an absurd fantasy.

Di Jun snorted coldly. "Whether it was them or not, we'll know once we take a look."
