Chapter 49: Targeted? The Destination is Mount Wuyi [Seeking Collections and Flowers]

The Heavenly Realm.

The Demon Tribe's Heavenly Palace.

Di Jun and Tai Yi were discussing the upcoming campaign against the Eastern Prince with the ten Demon Sages of the Demon Tribe.

Suddenly.

Below, a shrill, miserable roar from the Demon Sage Jiuying interrupted the meeting.

"Audacious Jiuying! How dare you lose your composure before the throne! What is your crime!"

The Demon Sage Bai Ze shouted sternly.

Di Jun and Tai Yi, seated at the head, also wore expressions of displeasure.

The other Demon Sages looked at Jiuying in astonishment. What kind of madness had taken hold of this fellow today?

It was one thing to be reckless and unrestrained on ordinary days.

But to act like this in front of the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor—he clearly didn't know how to write the word 'death'!

However, the scene that followed shocked everyone to the core.

Jiuying spat out a mouthful of blood.

It seemed his spirit had suffered a grievous blow.

Seeing this, Di Jun's expression turned to one of shock.

The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi hurriedly produced the Eastern Emperor Bell, seemingly on guard against something.

The Demon Sage Bai Ze felt a jolt in his heart and quickly cast a stream of magic power to stabilize Jiuying's injuries.

"Jiuying, what exactly is going on?"

"My son... Ah... the pain is killing me!"

"I beg Your Majesty's grace; this subject wishes to go to the Primordial World to find the murderer who killed my son, to tear him into ten thousand pieces, and destroy his soul!"

Jiuying said viciously, his tone filled with venomous hatred.

Hearing this, the other Demon Sages in the hall were shaken.

Jiuying's son was dead?

They all knew that the Demon Sage Jiuying treasured his son beyond measure.

He had even used the hard-earned merits he had accumulated to exchange for two high-grade innate magic treasures from Di Jun.

All of this was to protect his son's safety.

Unexpectedly, even with all that, he had still received the tragic news of his own child's death.

Immediately, the remaining Demon Sages fell silent.

Provoking Jiuying now would surely make him go insane.

It was better to avoid him.

Di Jun frowned, glanced at Jiuying, and said indifferently:

"I have already divined that your child perished together with the Purple Abode Sword Immortal!"

"The whereabouts of the Water and Fire Spirit Orbs on his person are unknown!"

"Impossible! How could a mere Purple Abode Sword Immortal kill my son?"

"Furthermore, my son had the protection of the Water and Fire Spirit Orbs; even if he were defeated and heavily injured, his Primordial Spirit could still have escaped!"

"It is absolutely impossible for his soul to have been destroyed!"

"There must be a greater mastermind behind the scenes who killed my son!"

Jiuying reflexively retorted, his tone firm.

"Audacious Jiuying! What do you mean by that? Are you implying my brother is lying to you?"

"As for that good-for-nothing son of yours, after all these years, he was still only at the early stage of the Taiyi Jin Xian realm!"

"How many precious resources of our Demon Tribe have been wasted on him?"

"If those had been used on other prodigies, we would have already added another Daluo Jin Xian to our Demon Tribe!"

"It would have been fine if that waste had just died, but he even lost our Demon Tribe's Water and Fire Spirit Orbs."

"My brother has already shown mercy by not questioning you, yet you dare to be insolent!"

Seeing Jiuying dare to be disrespectful to Di Jun, Tai Yi was enraged on the spot.

A mere subject daring to offend the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor.

He must be severely punished!

The aura of a late-stage Quasi-Saint instantly pressed down upon Jiuying.

In an instant, Jiuying's face turned deathly pale.

His whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was a ruthless man.

If he had shown even the slightest intention of resisting, he likely would have been killed by Tai Yi on the spot.

What did it matter if he was one of the ten Demon Sages of the Demon Tribe?

In the Demon Tribe, Di Jun and Tai Yi were the heavens.

Their majesty could not be offended in the slightest.

"Enough, Tai Yi. Jiuying has just experienced the pain of losing a son; it is inevitable that his mind is momentarily disordered. His crime is not enough to warrant death!"

Not enough to warrant death!

Which meant he was still guilty.

Immediately, the other Demon Sages mourned for the Demon Sage Jiuying for one second in their hearts.

However, no one pleaded for him.

Although this fellow was powerful, his personality was bloodthirsty and irritable, and he was not as well-liked as one might imagine.

"Jiuying, I will keep a constant watch for the whereabouts of the Water and Fire Spirit Orbs."

"However, it is a fact that your child died at the hands of the Purple Abode Sword Immortal!"

"I hereby appoint you as the vanguard of the Demon Tribe to attack the Purple Abode; this shall be considered as atoning for your crimes with merit!"

"This subject accepts the decree!"

Jiuying was somewhat unwilling, but he dared not resist.

He would first wipe out the Purple Abode and the Eastern Prince, then come back to find the true murderer.

He had a feeling that the true killer of his son was definitely not someone from the Purple Abode.

At this moment, Li Hongxuan was completely unaware that the Demon Sage Jiuying had begun to target him because of the death of his son.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He had already completely erased all traces of his movements.

Coupled with his concealment of heavenly secrets, even if Di Jun used the River Chart and Luo Book, he might not be able to find him.

Ever since he created the divine ability: Great Destiny Art (embryonic form), his understanding of destiny had reached a new height.

Concealing heavenly secrets had become second nature to him. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
