Seeing the puzzled expressions on Chi You's face, Xing Tian said, "After Hou Tu transformed into the Six Paths, the Heavenly Dao took pity on her merits and created the Goddess Pingxin. However, she is no longer the Ancestral Witch and cannot leave this Underworld."
Pingxin continued, "I know why you've come, but I cannot grant your request. The Witch Clan only has this one remaining, and I don't want them to suffer any further damage."
Chi You said anxiously, "Great Lord, I possess human blood this time, and it is perfectly legitimate for me to compete for the position of Human Emperor. How can this not be done? With the help of Xing Tian, the Great Witch, and the more than a thousand warriors of the Witch Clan, we will surely be able to use the position of Human Emperor to restore the glory of our Witch Clan in the past."
Pingxin sighed, "Your idea is too naive. Do you really think those saints would allow you to seize the throne of the Human Emperor? Back then, my Wu Clan and the Demon Clan dominated the prehistoric world. Our power was so great that even those saints dared not face us. But in the end, we were still schemed against and ended up like this. I don't want the last remaining bloodline of the Wu Clan to disappear. I will not agree to your request."
Chi You angrily said, "The Queen is no longer a member of the Wu Clan and has no right to interfere in the affairs of my Wu Clan. The Great Witch Xing Tian must come with me." Chi You was already furious. In his view, the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu had transformed into the Six Paths and had lost the Wu Clan's ambition to fight against heaven and earth.
Before Pingxin could speak, Xingtian roared angrily, "Chiyou, what are you saying? How dare you disrespect the Great One! Quickly apologize to the Great One, or I will surely take you down!"
Pingxin said coldly, "Xingtian, forget it. Chiyou, from now on, I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Wu tribe. Go and ask them yourself. Whoever is willing to go with you can go. I have no objection." After saying that, Pingxin waved his hand and sent them out of the main hall.
Chi You had spoken those words in his haste. Seeing Pingxin's anger, he felt uneasy and hurriedly said to Xing Tian as soon as he left the hall, "Brother Xing Tian, I was just in a hurry. I didn't mean to offend the Queen."
Xing Tian sighed, "I know, but the Empress also said that she will no longer concern herself with your affairs."
Chi You asked, "Brother Xing Tian, you heard what the goddess said just now. Are you going or not?"
Xing Tian also wanted to go, but the Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin had told him before she left that no matter what happened in the future, he must listen to Pingxin's arrangements and never disobey Pingxin's wishes. Now, although he wanted to go, he could not disobey the Ancestral Witch's orders. He only said to Chi You, "Brother Chi You, I will not go out. You heard what Houtu Dazun said just now. Go and ask her yourself. I will not stop anyone who wants to go with you." Although he could not go out, he still wanted to help Chi You.
Chi You snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect Xing Tian to be such a coward. Fine, I'll go and invite them myself." With that, he was about to leave with Jiu Feng.
Xing Tian suddenly became enraged: "Chi You, when have I, Xing Tian, ever been afraid of anything? Explain yourself clearly, or I will fight you to the death today." After saying that, he took out his axe and shield and struck a pose as if he was determined to fight to the death.
"If you weren't so cowardly, why wouldn't you come out of this underworld with me and restore the glory of my witch clan?" Chi You was furious.
"Fine, I'll leave then. Do you think I, Xing Tian, am a coward?" With that, Xing Tian winked at Chi You, who smiled back. It turned out that Xing Tian couldn't go against Ping Xin's wishes, so he had to use Chi You's words as an excuse. Chi You, of course, knew what Xing Tian was thinking and cooperated perfectly. It is said that the people of the Wu tribe are reckless, but they are also a little cunning.
Chi You wanted to invite other witch clans from the underworld, but Xing Tian stopped him, saying, "After all, this is the last line of my witch clan. We can't put all our hopes on this. It's better to keep something in reserve. Besides, if so many witch clans appear on the human battlefield, those sages might also take action."
Chi You thought it made sense, and in the end, he took away two great shamans, Feng Bo and Yu Shi, along with more than two hundred members of the shaman tribe. Although it wasn't a large number, it was enough to raise the strength of the Jiuli tribe to another level.
Pingxin watched their departing figures from the underworld and sighed. Houtu had transformed into the Six Paths, and everything in these Six Paths was herself. How could Pingxin not know about their affairs? She could only feel helpless.
The strength of the Jiuli tribe has been enhanced, and good things are also happening on Xuanyuan's side.
One day, when Xuanyuan was inspecting his territory, he heard someone singing: "Heaven is round, earth is square. Born into this world, I've met a wise king." After the song, the man continued plowing. As Xuanyuan's carriage and entourage approached, the man ignored them, only bowing and hoeing the ground. Xuanyuan observed him for a long time, thinking to himself, "Although he is just a farmer, his dignified appearance suggests something worthwhile." He then ordered his close ministers to inquire about his origins. The ministers obeyed and asked, but Feng Hou said, "Ruler and subject are on separate paths, each minding their own business. Why bother asking?" The ministers reported Feng Hou's words, and Xuanyuan sighed, "This is a wise man, not a farmer!" He then dismounted and walked to the edge of the field. Upon seeing Xuanyuan approaching on foot, Feng Hou quickly dropped his hoe, prostrated himself in the field, and shouted "Long live the Emperor!" Xuanyuan hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Why do you hide here, sir? Why don't you serve the people on behalf of Heaven? May I ask your esteemed name?" Feng Hou replied, "My name is Feng Hou. I am of little talent and learning, unfit for worldly affairs, and can only till the land." Xuanyuan was delighted upon hearing this and ordered him to accompany the emperor to court to assist the state. Feng Hou accepted the order and went with him. As they were traveling, they saw a woodcutter by a large marsh, looking around in the forest. Xuanyuan watched him for a long time and saw that the man was imposing and full of ambition. Xuanyuan ordered them to stop and entered the forest, asking, "Sir, who is wandering here idly? Why don't you serve the country and bring peace to the people?" Li Mu bowed and replied, "I am of dull talent and unfit for worldly affairs, so I hide here." Xuanyuan said, "I wish to hear your name, sir!" Li Mu said, "My name is Li, and my given name is Mu." Xuanyuan was delighted upon hearing this. The reason why Xuanyuan was so delighted was that these two were the people Huixin from Penglai Island had guided him to find. Huixin had said that these two were very talented and could help Xuanyuan, which was why Xuanyuan was so happy. He then helped Limu up and ordered him to return to the tribe with him. The next day, Xuanyuan appointed Fenghou as Prime Minister and Limu as General, as his two advisors.
