Chapter 2163: Reconsidering the Position of the Human Race!

The human race has suffered immensely, for during this long period, the demon race has been harvesting the raw materials for the Sword of Massacre of Shamans — human souls and bodies — driving the human race to the brink of extinction.

The humans are not without resistance, but they currently lack effective organization.

Since the emergence of Huang Di and Yan Di, humans have spread everywhere; those who gathered wished to unite and resist, for they could no longer endure being slaughtered by the demon race like livestock.

Jiufeng took advantage of this moment to seek out Huang Di and Yan Di, proposing that they surrender to the Witch Clan.

If they surrender to the Witch Clan, the Witch Clan will protect the human race!

Huang Di and Yan Di did not agree.

After all, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have long been enemies; even though the Demon Clan has persistently oppressed and slaughtered the humans, it cannot be denied that the humans were created by Pingxin Niangniang.

Pingxin Niangniang is of the Demon Clan, and since she has said nothing, they would not rebel.

"But you must also think of your own people — how fragile the humans are, how brutal and tyrannical the demons, and if this continues, the human race may be reduced to nothing but ash!"

Jiufeng snorted coldly.

"You know what happened to Guiche — they dared to massacre every last soul on their own demon territory, Spirit Snake Island. How much do you think the humans are worth in their eyes?"

Upon hearing Jiufeng's words, Huang Di and Yan Di's expressions changed visibly, yet they still refused to yield.

Jiufeng said nothing more, merely gave them time to think it through, then left after uttering those words.

……

Yan Di looked helplessly ahead.

But what he saw was more hatred — and indeed, the demons did not regard them as human beings; thus, the demons' relentless actions across their territories were likely beyond expectation.

Huang Di said: "If this is the case, why should we show them any respect?"

"Because of Pingxin Niangniang," Yan Di said helplessly.

Pingxin Niangniang created them; now, if she wishes them to submit, it is understandable — they owe her their lives.

But that does not mean the humans will not resist; precisely because they will resist, the demons gain no benefit from them.

As long as the humans resist, it is an unexpected stance toward them.

"Pingxin Niangniang has said nothing against our resistance — so we can fight the demon race!"

Huang Di said: "If Pingxin Niangniang approves of this, why can't we do better? We humans refuse to die like this!"

Yan Di felt Huang Di was right, but now more considerations weighed on him.

Moreover, the Witch Clan has now inserted itself into this matter.

Perhaps the Witch Clan's involvement will change the nature of this situation.

"The Witch Clan's actions are surely meant to incite conflict between our two races, so they can reap the benefits of others' strife."

"Hmph!"

Huang Di knew this well enough.

But Jiufeng was right — if the human race wishes to survive, if it wishes to carve out even a sliver of hope, there is no path left but to ally with the Witch Clan, unless the demon race halts the forging of the Sword of Massacre of Shamans.

Even if the demon race halts the forging of the Sword of Massacre of Shamans, the humans already lost can never return.

These wounds are fatal; the rifts left in their hearts can never be easily erased.

Huang Di and Yan Di exchanged a glance — they knew Jiufeng had already influenced them.
