Chapter 2516: Nüwa Suspected It!

The plight of the demon race was obvious to anyone with eyes, let alone the Ten Demon Sages themselves.

Feilian was the Sage who understood this matter best; precisely because he was clever, he never considered forcing a direct confrontation that might end in mutual destruction—it would be far too costly.

The only way to keep Nüwa and Fuxi alive was to have the Demon Emperor himself act.

None of these major Sages knew the current state of the Demon Emperor, so they could only stall for time with Nüwa and Fuxi.

"Ji Meng, the best strategy is to stall for time; the worst is to fight them. But are we a match for the Saint Nüwa?" Feilian asked mockingly.

"So we won't even try? We're the Sages of the demon race!"

"One must act according to one's strength; as Sages of the demon race, we must also act according to our strength. Don't end up with nothing but a tainted reputation—and by then, it'll be too late to regret."

Ji Meng: "…"

Feilian was indeed smarter than him, so Ji Meng decided to follow Feilian's lead—whatever Feilian did, he would do the same. When Lu Ya or Bai Ze returned, things should improve greatly.

In contrast, Shang Yang and Fei Dan's side faced an extremely difficult situation.

Shang Yang continued to urge: "Sister Nüwa, this is truly an internal matter of our demon race. If you suspect foul play, we can resolve it internally…"

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Fei Dan heard Nüwa's voice and lunged forward instantly—she knew that unless they fought, Nüwa and Fuxi would never leave.

"Enough talk! What are you waiting for? We do exactly as the Demon Emperor commands!"

At that moment, Fei Dan had already summoned her weapon; the instant it left her palm, Nüwa unfurled the Shanhe Shèjì Map.

Fuxi also used the Fuxi Bagua to shield Nüwa—the Shanhe Shèjì Map contained humanity; humanity within the map could not serve as Nüwa's protective barrier.

Fuxi whispered a warning: "Little sister, you can't use the Shanhe Shèjì Map…"

"I know. I'm only drawing it out to scare them. Once we leave the Demon Court, anything goes."

Fuxi finally understood Nüwa's intent.

Yet he was deeply disappointed in the demon race—and even more so in Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun. These Ten Demon Sages had once been his brothers, yet he never imagined they would become this.

"Watch out!"

"Don't hurt them—we only need to escape. Everything else doesn't matter."

"Understood!"

Fuxi understood Nüwa's thoughts, but in her rage, she could no longer listen to anyone else—she had endured too long over matters concerning humanity.

Nüwa now faintly suspected the Demon Emperor had taken the Juhun Powder; once ingested, it could easily lead to demonic deviation, as his previous state had shown.

Nüwa said: "Big brother, the Demon Emperor has taken the Juhun Powder. This is our only chance to escape!"

"Agreed!"

Hearing Nüwa's words, Fuxi's eyes lit up—he had felt today was cursed from the start. If Feilian and Ji Meng hadn't come to summon them, they would never have come.

Clearly, the Demon Court no longer regarded them as demon race members—they were resorting to such tactics to trap them. Fuxi would show them no mercy.

"Break through!"

Fuxi roared and shielded Nüwa as they charged outward.
