Chapter 30: Restoring Face

Upon learning the situation, the Octopus General did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to Kun Peng.

Kun Peng, who was discussing the Honghuang situation, grew solemn upon hearing the news, "You mean they are keeping my subordinates as livestock?"

The subordinate commanders, upon hearing this, all wore serious expressions and faces full of anger.

The Demon Race has long ruled supreme in the Vast Wilderness World; have they ever suffered such humiliation?

This is outright provocation in broad daylight, brazenly trampling over them.

"What's worse, they fed the victims an aphrodisiac pill, causing them daily inhuman torment; we earnestly request Lord Kun Peng to intervene!"

The flying fish was brought before Kun Peng.

At this moment the flying fish was in terrible condition, its body curled up, its spirit nearly shattered.

Only upon seeing Kun Peng did it muster a slight lift in spirit.

Crying, it detailed everything it had witnessed, even describing the horrific scene of the blood pool.

Kun Peng's complexion grew increasingly grim, like dark clouds before a storm, ready to unleash thunderous wrath at any moment.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, the sea water began to freeze, and the entire palace seemed covered in ice and snow, unbearably cold.

"Taiyi cannot act; does that mean I, Kun Peng, cannot either?"

Kun Peng suddenly let out a long howl toward the heavens, shaking the surrounding palace violently.

Everyone in the palace was stunned by the overwhelming aura, their gazes all turning toward this Heavenly Court Imperial Master.

As a veteran powerhouse beneath the Three Pure Ones in Honghuang, Kun Peng's strength ranks just below Taiyi and Di Cun.

Since becoming the Demon Race's Demon Master, he has stood above ten thousand demons, with many water beings flocking to him, his fame illustrious.

He never expected that today he would be insulted by a few obscure members of the Human Race.

"I am not like Taiyi, who only endures in silence. I will utterly eradicate these Humans!"

Kun Peng's eyes reddened, his aura surged wildly around him.

In an instant, the entire Demon Master Palace boiled, its soldiers instantly transformed into a torrent, rushing toward the Honghuang earth.

Moreover, the Demon Master Palace at this moment began undergoing astonishing changes.

The palace, infused with Kun Peng's countless efforts, slowly rose from the sky, soaring straight toward the Honghuang earth.

Where it passed, wind and clouds shifted, heaven and earth trembled.

Such a massive movement could not escape the Wu Clan's keen perception.

The Twelve Demon Gods were diligently studying the Twelve Capital Celestial God Sha Formation in the Pangu Temple.

Suddenly, several Great Witches rushed in, reporting Kun Peng's movements.

This sudden interruption forced them to halt their cultivation, and displeasure showed on their faces.

Shui Shen was especially angry, his eyes widening as he said:

"Again the Demon Race, these scoundrels; if it weren't for Dao Ancestor stopping us, we would have exterminated them long ago. Why should they govern the heavens while we govern the earth?"

"Now they dare to blatantly cross our territory; this is a glaring provocation!"

"No, I will go and eliminate them!"

After speaking, Shui Shen rose, exuding intense killing aura.

However, Divine Bird Emperor Di Hong flashed like a specter, appearing beside Shui Shen and forcefully pushing him back onto his seat, saying authoritatively:

"The Twelve Capital Celestial God Sha Formation is about to be completed; once successful, its power will be boundless. Then you may kill as you wish, and I will not stand in your way."

"But for now, you must stay here; do not ruin the great undertaking with a moment's impulse!"

Although each of the Twelve Demon Gods has its own ideas and temperaments, regarding the Wu Clan's rise and fall they still obey Di Hong's leadership.

Otherwise they would not have gathered at the Pangu Temple to jointly study this divine formation.

"Where is Kun Peng heading?" Hou Tu's eyes flashed with curiosity as he asked softly.

The Great Witch replied respectfully, "It's toward the Renzu Buluo settlement, the newly established Huang Cheng."

Before the words finished, a "snap" sound made Hou Tu and Zhu Song unable to stay seated.

The two almost simultaneously stood up, their sudden action drawing sideways glances from those around.

Di Hong was especially surprised, for he remembered Hou Tu as always calm and steady, rarely losing composure. As for Zhu Song, ever war‑loving, his standing clearly signaled a desire to duel the Demon Race.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Di Hong asked concernedly.

"Big brother, I want to go take a look," Hou Tu said firmly.

"Me too, I also want to go," Zhu Song shouted, fearing no one noticed him.

The others looked at Zhu Song helplessly.

Shui Shen mockingly sneered without mercy, "Why are you going? Last time you couldn't even beat that mixed‑feathered bird; saying that is embarrassing."

Zhu Song, burning with anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, or I'll stitch your mouth shut."

Shui Shen was not to be outdone, retorting in kind.

Seeing the two about to clash, Di Hong furrowed his brows, releasing a powerful pressure that seemed to freeze the very space for a moment.

Under this pressure, their fury gradually subsided, yet they still glared at each other.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Di Hong asked.

Hou Tu shook his head.

A moment later, he also stood, advising Hou Tu to go take a look, to prevent the Demon Race's plot from affecting the Wu Clan.

The three Demon Gods' focus on the Human Race made the others feel strange.

Di Hong pondered for a long while, ultimately rejecting their proposal: "Regardless, this is the Demon Race's matter."

Our most urgent task now is to master the Twelve Capital Celestial God Sha Formation.

Di Hong promised to send guards, and if danger truly arises, he will personally go rescue Zhou Yi.

As the Spatial Demon God who controls spatial power, he is confident he can easily save people in the Honghuang world.

Hearing this, Hou Tu and the others could only temporarily set aside their worries and say no more.

"Big brother, don't forget there's also Shi Hao; please save him as well." Zhu Song showed particular concern when mentioning Shi Hao.

Di Hong nodded in agreement and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to begin action.

That Great Witch immediately understood the mission, respectfully departed, and hurried to the Human Race's settlement.

The Human Race again showed abnormalities; the conflict between the Demon Race and the Human Race intensified. Dong Huang had just left, and Kunpeng arrived—truly adding insult to injury!

The beings of Honghuang from all over were attracted by this sudden change, and they all turned their attention to it.

When they saw the palace flying in the sky, they couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone knows Kunpeng is ferocious; this time he will certainly show no mercy, and the Human Race will face a great trial.

Nüwa watched all this, her eyes flashing with a complex light. Due to Zhou Yi's actions, her connection with the Human Race was damaged, and she could not benefit from it.

Otherwise, her power could at least double. This loss made her feel dissatisfied.

"Kunpeng, you usually do much evil, but this time you actually helped me."

Taishang Laojun saw this and secretly rejoiced.

Kunpeng felt the gazes of many powerful beings and decided to let them see his strength.

"You lot want to watch a show? Fine, I'll let you see how formidable I am." He ordered full speed ahead; the demon soldiers inside the Demon Master Palace instantly doubled their speed, and with a mighty aura they marched toward the Human Race's settlement.

"Kunpeng, how dare you act on your own?"

Inside the Demon Master Palace, the illusory forms of Taiyi and Di Ying appeared.

Kunpeng actually did not take Taiyi's earlier warning to heart.

This time he almost mobilized all the power he could muster, intending to completely wipe out the Human Race to quell his hatred.

"Rest assured, this time I will surely eliminate them all and restore your honor." Kunpeng said calmly.

Taiyi's expression wavered, "I know you have an agreement with him not to attack for a hundred years, but that's your concern; I have my own reasons and must act."

Di Ying sensed that Taiyi was about to lose control, quickly intervened to calm his anger, then turned to Kunpeng and asked, "Speak up, you're not an impulsive person—what is the reason?"

"They are raising the Demon Race." Kunpeng's brief reply left the two titans of Honghuang stunned, speechless.
