In the Underworld.
Houtu looked utterly bewildered, gazing toward the human lands in confusion.
Not only her, but Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches and Great Witches also exchanged baffled looks, lost in a fog.
"Fellow Daoist Changqing... what do you mean by this?!"
"Though our Witch Clan Lineage shelters the humans, we have never meddled in their fortune or the succession of their Human Emperors."
"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Changqing's capacity for wine truly grows more astonishing, and his actions grow ever harder to fathom."
They murmured among themselves.
Though Houtu was puzzled, she knew that none of Gu Changqing's words were ever drunken nonsense.
There had to be a deeper meaning behind his sudden call to her.
Thus, Houtu immediately rose.
"In that case, I shall visit the human lands and see what this is about."
As she spoke, boundless immortal light burst forth around her, and she vanished from where she stood.
Seeing this, Dijiang and the others reacted as well.
"Let us go and take a look too."
With a light sweep of his sleeve, Dijiang constructed a space passage. The Eleven Ancestral Witches, Great Witch Xing Tian, and the others stepped through, heading straight for the human lands.
Meanwhile, in the human lands.
Hearing Gu Changqing suddenly call out to Houtu, Guangchengzi and the others paled in shock.
Good heavens!
What was going on? Was he inviting Houtu here to bolster his side?
The Chan Sect disciples felt their courage falter, unease written across their faces.
After all, Houtu had attained the cultivation of a Hunyuan Limitless Daluo Golden Immortal.
Never mind Chan Sect disciples like them-even Sage Yuanshi himself would likely be no match for her.
If Houtu intervened, the Chan Sect would truly have no hope of competing for the Human Emperor Position.
