Chapter 2543: Those Who Achieve Great Things Do Not Restrain Themselves Over Trifles!

Attacking southward toward Bombarding Lingshan means abandoning the northwest, where Sister Houtu, Sister Xuanming, and Qiangliang are located.

"Big brother, what about my sister and the others…?" Zhu Jiuyin looked at Di Jiang with concern.

"The Yan and Huang Emperors led the human race; the rest headed northwest of Bombarding Lingshan. Jiu Feng should be among them—she has the Lotus Lantern and can protect them."

"Big brother, we can't take this risk—it might be their ploy to lure us away!"

Zhu Jiuyin wanted to persuade Di Jiang, but then he realized this was their best chance—perhaps their last—and they had to gamble everything.

So he said: "How about this, big brother? We play along with their plan—use a decoy force to split the demon clan into two parts: one heading northwest, the other south…"

The other Wu clan members aren't here, but we can act separately.

To deceive the demon clan, this is what we must do now—perhaps it's worth considering, since this matter truly concerns us.

Di Jiang thought for a long time; he knew he had to make a decision now.

If the decoy tactic is well executed, the Wu clan and the demon clan could split Bombarding Lingshan—or even reclaim it.

"Fine, I'll follow your plan."

"First, summon Ju Mang."

Thinking this, Zhu Jiuyin exhaled in relief—he understood Di Jiang's mind, and he feared only that Di Jiang would ignore advice and act alone, putting Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming in danger.

Although Jiu Feng has the Lotus Lantern, that lantern doesn't guarantee everything.

He must protect the Yan and Huang Emperors—he is human, and to launch an attack on the demon clan, they need sufficient strength; the Yan and Huang Emperors must also protect the human race.

This time, Zhu Jiuyin admitted they were taking a risk, but it could bring corresponding gains.

Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun would never have imagined the Wu clan would do this.

Nüwa, since leaving the Demon Court, had returned with Feilian and Jimeng to the Nüwa Palace.

Jimeng said: "Holy Nüwa, our demon clan has no ill intent. You are now one of us—you know how we act."

"Say no more. As long as the demon clan no longer harasses the human race or demands our aid, we will never betray the demon clan."

"I swear by my status as a Holy One," Nüwa said coldly to Jimeng and Feilian.

Both men exhaled in relief; having prepared and completed their part regarding Dong Huang Taiyi, they no longer needed to dwell on this matter.

Yet Feilian still felt something was missing.

What exactly was missing? He himself didn't fully understand—even when Nüwa asked, he couldn't say.

"Then thank you, Holy Nüwa and Great Master Fuxi. Let this matter end here—we part ways now, hoping for peace in the future."

The demon clan may have no further dealings with the Nüwa Palace, but in the Honghuang realm, there are many places where Nüwa and Fuxi are needed—leaving a thread for the future is vital.

"Safe travels, no need to see you off."

Fuxi gave them no friendly expression; this time, Fuxi had finally seen clearly—the demon clan was expendable to them, and it was the demon clan that had abandoned them.

They had pleaded with them repeatedly, yet received no order from the Demon Emperor—not even a suggestion to imprison them in the Demon Court.
