Chapter 2512

In handling the matter of Gui Che, Di Jun made a mistake, and thus Gui Che harbored resentment.

Dong Huang Tai Yi also knew about this matter, but he had no choice—he could only endure it for now, waiting until the matter of Bombarding Lingshan was settled before returning to deal with Gui Che.

He thought it would work out nicely, but Gui Che gave them neither time nor opportunity.

Nü Wa and Fu Xi waited a long time before finally receiving Dong Huang Tai Yi and Di Jun.

When they arrived, both rose to bow.

"No need for such formalities," Dong Huang Tai Yi said gently, while Di Jun, beside him, regarded them coldly.

Fu Xi immediately said: "My Lord, my sister and I have come to request permission to travel alone to Nü Wa Palace."

"The occupants of Nü Wa Palace may be withdrawn by My Lord…"

"Crack!"

Before Fu Xi could finish, Di Jun hurled the teacup he had just lifted—suddenly, the entire hall of demonic clans froze in terror, trembling uncontrollably.

"My Lord?"

Under Dong Huang Tai Yi's gaze, Di Jun said nothing—he knew he could no longer control his temper, and he should not have acted this way.

Could it be that something went wrong after growing the Jin Wu wings?

"Nothing—my hand slipped."

"Nü Wa, Holy Saint, this time I only wish to ask you: will you assist the demonic clans in driving back the Wu clan at Bombarding Lingshan?"

Di Jun held back his rage, staring fixedly at Nü Wa, who sighed deeply.

"My Lord, Nü Wa lacks such power. The Twelve Ancestral Wus are no match for the demonic clans—the Ten Demon Sages can handle them easily."

Thinking of this, Nü Wa raised her head again to meet Di Jun's gaze—he burned with fury, as if ready to devour her at any moment—but Nü Wa held her ground unflinchingly.

"I have one question for My Lord."

"What is it?" Di Jun growled, his fists clenched so tightly blood oozed from his palms.

For the first time, someone had defied him—the oppressive aura Luo Fu once exerted upon him surged back; Di Jun trembled slightly, and Dong Huang Tai Yi sensed something was wrong.

Yet they could not show weakness before Fu Xi and Nü Wa—if they did, everyone would know.

That would be bad for the demonic clans, and bad for Nü Wa and Fu Xi as well.

"Why have you sealed the news?"

"You knew we were in Nü Wa Palace, yet you kept us in the dark—why? Did My Lord ever consider that we too are members of the demonic clans?"

These questions left Di Jun stunned.

How could he possibly have sealed news from Nü Wa Palace? Nü Wa and Fu Xi were his most trusted generals—without them, the Ten Demon Sages alone could never have repelled Taishang Laojun.

Dong Huang Tai Yi saw Di Jun's confusion and stepped forward himself: "Could there be a misunderstanding?"

"We truly had no news—because the one who invited us sealed the information from Nü Wa Palace."

Nü Wa said coolly: "As a member of the demonic clans, I should not ask such things—after all, My Lord commands, and we obey; that is only natural!"

"But after the Blood Sacrifice Sword incident, humanity is nearly extinct—does My Lord still intend to use human lives to forge the Atlas, ignoring the suffering of countless lives?"
