Chapter 2515: Leave Nüwa and Fuxi!

Only now did Di Jun feel the danger of the Ten Forbidden Medicines of Honghuang; one misstep could lead to total annihilation, forever erased from Honghuang.

After leaving the Demon Court, Nüwa and Fuxi were followed by Feidan, who trailed them closely.

"Lady Nüwa, Lord Fuxi, please step inside the side pavilion for some tea; food will be served shortly. Once His Majesty the Demon Emperor finishes his business, he will summon you both."

"No need."

Nüwa said coolly, "We won't dine inside the Demon Court—we'll return home to eat. We've already made arrangements with His Majesty the Demon Emperor; you cannot detain us."

Fuxi also had no desire to remain in the Demon Court; even dining there felt repulsive.

Thinking this, Fuxi prepared to leave with Nüwa, but Feidan made no move to let them go or step aside.

"Forgive me, Lady Nüwa, but without His Majesty the Demon Emperor's order, neither you nor Lord Fuxi may take a single step outside the Demon Court."

"Are you placing us under house arrest?"

Nüwa laughed coldly. "Hmph, I didn't know you, Feidan, had such nerve. Do you truly wish to test the power I gained upon becoming a Saint?"

Shangyang arrived at that moment.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, he instantly understood what was happening.

"His Majesty the Demon Emperor…"

"At this moment, His Majesty's affairs are none of our concern. Our duty is to keep Lady Nüwa and Lord Fuxi here," Feidan said softly.

No matter what they intended, they could not release these two until His Majesty issued an order.

If they let them go, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains—they would have no choice but to flee afterward.

Bombarding Lingshan still needed Nüwa and Fuxi's aid, so Feidan had intended to treat them with courtesy—but he hadn't expected them to show no respect whatsoever.

Shangyang said, "Sister Nüwa, please stay for now to assist with the investigation. We cannot defy His Majesty's command. You wouldn't want us to be put in this position, would you?"

Hearing Shangyang's words, Nüwa was momentarily stunned; she had once been close to him.

But after spending so many years with Fuxi in the Palace of Nüwa, everything had changed.

Nüwa did not know what Shangyang had become, nor did she dare to gamble. All she wanted now was to return to the Palace of Nüwa with Fuxi; whatever happened to the Demon Clan no longer concerned her.

"Shangyang, I grant you this courtesy—I won't make trouble for them—but I must leave now. Otherwise, I will drown the Demon Court in blood."

"Sister Nüwa…"

"It doesn't matter what you say!"

Hearing Nüwa's firm tone, Shangyang knew nothing they did would change anything—but they still had to act on His Majesty's orders, so they stood silently in front.

Fuxi felt a fight was inevitable—only a matter of time.

Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun would never let them go until they obtained Fuxi's Eight Trigrams, Fuxi's Qin, and the Shanhe Shèjì Map.

Even if it meant mobilizing the entire Demon Clan's strength, they would trap these two.

When Jimeng and Feilian arrived, the atmosphere was already tense.

"Should we step forward?" Jiemeng asked timidly.

Feilian shook his head. "Wait a moment. Lady Nüwa and Lord Fuxi are not so easily detained—don't underestimate them."

"What about His Majesty?"

"His Majesty has countless capable allies—he won't be in danger. We only need to keep Nüwa and Fuxi here."
