Chapter 160: Summoning Old Troops from the Underworld After Death; The Human Race Plots with Wolfish Ambition

"Oh? How so?" Fang Longye heard Pishamo's resentful words, his eyes brightened, and he immediately inquired.

Houtu Niangniang, or rather the cooperation between the Witch Clan and the Human Race, was something he was aware of.

After all, as old rivals, the various collections within the Demon Master Mansion contained no shortage of detailed information regarding Houtu Niangniang and even the Witch Clan she led.

It could be said that the struggle between the Human Race and the Demon Race was essentially a continuation of the struggle between the Witches and Demons.

Even with the merging of humans and witches during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Human Race was, to a certain extent, a continuation of the Witch Clan.

What is a Witch? One who stands tall between heaven and earth! The Witch Gate, transformed from the Witch Clan, appeared far earlier than the Profound Gate or the Buddhist Fomen during the rise of the Human Race.

As the Human Race, which belonged to the Witch Clan's younger brothers from the very beginning, even after the Witch-Demon Epoch had passed, they remained in a situation long controlled by the Witch Gate.

Not to mention anything else, the Human Race tribes named after the Twelve Ancestral Witches held the authority of the Human Race for a very long time.

Even the famous Earth Emperor Shennong was not purely human; he also possessed the bloodline of the Witch Clan and originated from a Witch Tribe.

This was also the basis for Chiyou, who belonged to the Witch Tribe, to raise an army and fight against the Yellow Emperor after him.

It was not until the time of Xia Yu, with the support of the three teachings of the Profound Gate, that the Human Race finally broke free from the secret control of the Witch Clan, or rather, the Witch Gate.

Even so, the Witch Gate lineage still held onto the sacrificial divine power of the Human Race.

It was not until Zhou Wuwang, who called Heaven his father and Earth his mother, styling himself the Son of Heaven and Earth, that the sacrificial divine power was gradually reclaimed by the secular imperial power of the Human Race.

From this, the Hundred Schools of Thought arose.

Therefore, Fang Longye did not feel surprised by the cooperation between Houtu Niangniang and the Human Race that Pishamo spoke of.

How normal!

The Human Race and the Witch Clan, after the baptism of long ages, had long since become inseparable.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe the relationship between the humans and witches as being as inseparable as water and milk.

Not to mention the distant past, just speaking of the most recent, who supported the rise of the Immortal Qin at the beginning? No one is blind.

What truly interested him was that from Pishamo's considerable anger, it could be seen that the commotion the Human Race had stirred up in Youming was not small.

This piqued his interest.

It was not purely for the sake of watching the excitement, but rather, it was obvious that in such a clash between two major forces, there were definitely benefits to be seized.

Opportunities and good fortune are not obtained by pies falling from the sky.

Seizing every opportunity is the norm on the path of cultivation.

Otherwise, in the world of cultivation, whenever there is a struggle between strong practitioners or a Secret Realm appears, it would not attract such a large group of cultivators.

As the saying goes, chaos is a ladder for progress.

Fang Longye believed that any cultivator would be interested.

Pishamo opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped and looked at Tie Shan.

Fang Longye also looked over, his heart suddenly enlightened; it turned out this little demoness had finally subdued the 'Stele of Ten Thousand Evils' and regained her composure.

"Pishamo, what are you two chatting about?" Tie Shan, seeing the two talking and laughing, asked curiously.

"Princess, this subordinate was just chatting with him about the matter of the Human Race in the land of Youming," Pishamo replied.

"The Human Race? Hmph!" Tie Shan thought of the Human Race's recent surprise attack on the Ashura territory and immediately snorted coldly.

She cursed aloud: "The Human Race is full of deceitful people who only know how to use schemes and tricks. And they claim to be the protagonists of the Human Dao!"

"Greedy and insatiable, seizing every opportunity!"

"Clearly, after the First Emperor, the Heavenly Dao issued a decree that the Human Emperor cannot practice and cannot attain longevity."

"They, however, used their relationship with Houtu Niangniang to actually establish an Underworld Dragon Court and occupy the land of Youming."

"Now they have even set their sights on our Ashura clan's territory in Youming."

"Truly daring and reckless!"

"That old vegetable Liu Bang actually had the nerve to act righteous, saying he wanted to eliminate demons for Youming!"

Thinking of Liu Bang's previous face, Tie Shan gnashed her teeth.

"Bah! This land of Youming was originally formed by occupying a part of the Blood Sea of the Old Ancestor himself. It should naturally have a place for our Ashura clan!" "Truly shameless, shameless to the extreme!"

"Houtu Niangniang doesn't even care. The Human Race has always had wolfish ambitions; who knows when they will be bold enough to set their sights on the cycle of reincarnation."

After a bout of angry cursing, Fang Longye understood the gist of it without needing to ask.

Since the First Emperor, the Human Emperor could no longer practice, let alone attain longevity.

However, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, came up with a clever method and created the method of the Underworld Dragon Court.

With the help of the Dynasty Dragon Qi, he created a foundation in the Youming land, stepping into the sky in one move and becoming a ghost god of the Taiyi perfection level.

Even with the power of the Underworld Dragon Court, he could temporarily possess the power of a Daluo.

After Liu Bang succeeded, a group of human ghost gods who had been stranded in the Youming land long ago followed suit, either opening up Underworld Dragon Courts or establishing cities.

This added another layer of scenery to the already chaotic Youming land.

Perhaps the high-level officials of the Human Race saw the future prospects of the Underworld Dragon Court method and sent a group of Daluo to Youming to help Liu Bang and the other human ghost gods expand their territory.

From then on, the land of Youming blossomed into chaos.

Yet Houtu Niangniang, already a Hunyuan being, did not care about these disputes at all.

No matter which side you are, as long as you eat from the bowl of Youming, don't even think about being able to reverse the host and guest.

Therefore, in Fang Longye's view, the point of view held by Pishamo and Tie Shan that the Human Race relied on Houtu Niangniang was not entirely true.

Houtu Niangniang did indeed represent the Witch Clan in cooperation with the Human Race. But regarding the Human Race establishing the Underworld Dragon Court in Youming, it really couldn't be called protection or pulling strings.

In the eyes of Houtu Niangniang, this kind of thing was just a small matter, not worth mentioning.

However, although the Human Race definitely did not have the intention or the guts to covet the authority of reincarnation.

But to say that the Human Race did not have the idea of wanting to control the land of Youming, Fang Longye did not believe it.

At the very least, the various actions of the Human Race clearly show an intent to learn from forces like the Daoist, Buddhist, and Heavenly Court to exert influence within the Netherworld.

The land of the Netherworld is vast and boundless.

All kinds of forces stand like a forest.

There is the Taishuan Fudi under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, the eighteen levels of hell established by that personage from the Blood Sea, and the dojo of the Bodhisattva Dizang Wang of the Brahma sect, who vowed, "If hell is not empty, I shall not become a Buddha."

There are also the worlds opened up by the incarnations of the Ten Directions Savior Tianzun, manifested by the Daoist Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

There are also forces established by innate ghosts and gods such as Tubo.

In short, various forces stand in the Netherworld, countless in number.

Even the Ten Kings of the Underworld, who truly manage the affairs of so-called reincarnation, only occupy a corner of the land.

The rest is entirely occupied by various forces and all kinds of ghosts and gods.

And the approach of the Human Race, in the view of Fang Longye, is what is called "encircling the cities from the countryside."

It seems inconspicuous.

Once the Underworld Dragon Court spreads throughout the Netherworld and subdues all the ghosts and gods lingering here.

Then which force would dare to look down on them? As Fang Longye pondered, Tie Shan calmed her mind and asked her guard: "Pishamo, I haven't asked you yet. Last time, that old geezer Liu Bang was no match for Guimu."

"In such a short time, how has his strength advanced so much? If not for the lack of heaven and earth anomalies, I would have thought he had already attained the Dao of Daluo!"

Facing the curiosity of his Princess, Pishamo sighed and said: "Princess, the Human Race side has obscured the Heavenly Secrets, and another emperor of the Han Court has returned."

The influence of the Yang world dynasty on the Underworld Dragon Court is immense. The prosperity of the Yang world dynasty brings incredible feedback to the Underworld Dragon Court.

This is a benefit that flows like a thin stream, and there is also the one-off deal.

Every time a wise monarch of the Yang world returns to the Underworld, it brings a huge feedback to the Underworld Dragon Court.

As the founder of the Underworld Han Court, Liu Bang naturally gained a great advancement in strength.
