Chapter 1904

Feilian knelt in the Demon Court, gazing up at the two Demon Emperors, dazed.

He shook his head, snapped back to himself, and said, "My lords, if we wish to win over Saint Luo Fu, there may be only one channel."

"What?"

"Find Hongyun, punish Kunpeng."

Before Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun could speak, Feilian immediately replied: "My lords, think—why did Saint Luo Fu aid the Witch Clan?"

"What was the turning point for Saint Luo Fu's aid to the Witch Clan?"

Jimeng pondered and realized what Feilian meant—they all thought of emotion; how could Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun not think of it too? They simply didn't speak it.

Besides, Kunpeng has already joined our Demon Clan; we cannot kill the ox once the mill is turned.

And Kunpeng's power is immense; after the lectures in the Purple Cloud Palace, he too can attain the Dao.

Hongyun is but a minor figure—Kunpeng's strength could surely extinguish him—but all of this stems from the grudge between Hongyun and Kunpeng.

Di Jun frowned deeply.

Feilian's words were indeed sound, but they could not now punish Kunpeng, still grievously wounded.

"So your meaning is to first win over Hongyun?"

"Precisely, my lords. Hongyun Daoist's Hongmeng Purple Qi is clearly visible now; had it not been for Kunpeng, Hongyun Daoist would surely have attained the Dao."

Hongyun's Hongmeng Purple Qi was truly potent—even Di Jun felt a pang of desire.

But Hongyun's fate is such—he remains in the Fire Cloud Cave, seeking only to cultivate in peace, untroubled by the outside world.

Jimeng spoke up: "My lords, why not go persuade Hongyun Daoist? This would give him proper accounting, and prevent him from becoming an enemy of our Witch Clan."

"Feasible?"

"Only by trying will we know."

Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun exchanged glances—they both knew what to do.

Yet certain matters must be thoroughly considered, or the outcome may be worse than they imagined.

Is that all?

Luo Fu's appearance among the Witch Clan has already overshadowed our Demon Clan in aura.

Nüwa and Fuxi have not yet descended from the Nüwa Palace; the Demon Clan already teeters on the brink. Moreover, whether Nüwa attains the Dao—this concerns the very survival of the Demon Clan.

Thus, no one dares disturb Nüwa, nor dare summon her down.

They must be deeply torn inside.

Precisely because of this torment, they have arrived at this state.

Donghuang Taiyi understood Feilian and Jimeng's words—but whether he could act on them, he did not know. All could only be left to Heaven's Mandate.

Master Yuanshi Tianzun and his party remained in the Bilo Palace.

Yet beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Hongjun's young disciple, Haotian, and Yaochi, wandered endlessly within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Haotian stared in confusion at the Mandate Book in their hands.

"Yaochi, come look—why does this Mandate Book seem so chaotic?"

"No way—Master said if the Mandate Book grows chaotic, great calamity will strike the Honghuang. Let's not touch it; wait for Master's return."

Haotian was puzzled and curious, yet he did not take the Mandate Book.

Yaochi saw his hesitation and grew angry.

"The side chambers aren't even swept clean yet—let's finish cleaning. Master has been in seclusion cultivating for thousands of years; by now, he should be emerging."
