The Witch-Human Chi You refined Houtu's essence blood, bringing his physical strength infinitely close to that of an Ancestral Witch. He then led the Witch-Human Race out of the Southern Wastes and into the Central Wilderness, preparing to aid the Witch Race. Once the truce decreed by the Dao Ancestor expired, they would launch a Heaven-Slaying Campaign together and ignite the War of the Liches. News of this soon spread throughout the Primordial World.
This made every living being in the Primordial World realize that those aligned with the Witch Race had not been cowed by Lady Nuwa's decision to side with the Demon Race. The Witch Race and its allies... still dared to contend with the Demon Race!

"Eldest Senior Brother, your younger brother certainly cuts an impressive figure. In such a short time, his fame has spread throughout the Primordial World. I hear he's training Witch soldiers now, ready to storm the Heavenly Court at any moment!" Chi Jingzi said to Nine Li with a broad smile.
"Indeed. Your worthy brother Chi You was born the son of a Great Shaman, and now he has refined the essence blood bestowed by Empress Houtu. I fear even some Quasi-Saints cannot match his cultivation. When the decisive battle comes, he will surely shine on the battlefield!" True Person Yuding stroked his beard and smiled as well.
"Mm." The other disciples of the Expounding Teaching nodded, faint smiles on their faces.
Chi You was the younger brother of their eldest senior brother, Nine Li. Though he was not a disciple of the Expounding Teaching, he still had some connection to them. Moreover, since Jiejiao was filled mostly with demons, monsters, ghosts, and fiends, they were none too friendly toward the Demon Race either.
