Chapter 2550

As Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming pondered how to infiltrate Bombarding Lingshan disguised as demons, the Ten Great Demon Sages began their move.

Ji Meng soon returned with Fei Lian; they had not stayed in the Nüwa Palace.

Upon returning, they saw Dong Huang Taiyi visiting the Great Luo Jinxian who had just been in the grand hall, bearing many magic treasures.

Fei Dan never appeared.

Shang Yang said: "We cannot speak of this matter—Fei Dan harbors resentment, but there is no way around it; it was my lord Dong Huang's decision, and we had no part in it."

Fei Lian and Ji Meng shook their heads; they believed returning Nüwa and Fu Xi was the right choice—when necessary, Nüwa and Fu Xi would surely aid the demon race.

At the moment of life-or-death peril, if Nüwa and Fu Xi remembered they were still of the demon race, and remembered that my lord Dong Huang had once spared them, they would give their all to help.

This was also why Fei Lian had always opposed Fei Dan.

"Then what of my lord Dong Huang now?"

"We don't truly know what he is, but these Great Luo Jinxian have been of immense help—Emperor Jun has begun slowly recovering, all thanks to these Great Luo Jinxian," Qin Yuan said.

Qin Yuan had felt this twice—that he likely knew something connected to these events.

But Chi Tie told him never to look too closely or speak too much—just carry out whatever my lord Dong Huang ordered him to do; as long as he didn't look or speak beyond that, he wouldn't err.

Qin Yuan followed this principle in all he did, which is why he acted with trembling caution, yet never made a mistake.

After Dong Huang Taiyi had delivered all the items and sighed in relief, he returned to the Demon Court.

Di Jun also slowly recovered.

The power of the Soul Gathering Powder was no joke—it had truly struck Di Jun a crushing blow and taught him a lesson.

Had the Soul Gathering Powder not been fully expelled from his Jin Wu wings, he might have become the first Demon Emperor ever possessed by it—what a disgrace.

Di Jun would reflect on himself, while Dong Huang Taiyi was inwardly delighted.

Yet Dong Huang Taiyi still had to scold Di Jun, warning him not to grow arrogant—now that the demon race still relied on him, Di Jun absolutely could not afford to fail.

"Enough, enough, I understand. Since we didn't get the magic treasures from Fu Xi and Nüwa, let's take others."

"Other magic treasures?"

"The Seven Treasures Holy Tree and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram are indeed excellent—if we add them to the Sacrificial Witch Sword, slaying the Twelve Ancestral Witches will be effortless," Di Jun said.

The Sacrificial Witch Sword has not yet been forged; they currently cannot find any more materials.

But Di Jun believed that one day, the Sacrificial Witch Sword would surely be completed.

Though Nüwa did not aid them, she also did not stop them—this was turning a blind eye; to Di Jun, that meant hope!

Dong Huang Taiyi shook his head and said: "Brother, we should abandon the Sacrificial Witch Sword—it brings ill fortune; it may be a trap for our demon race."

"What do you mean?"

"Think—since we began forging the Sacrificial Witch Sword, haven't many misfortunes occurred? Since the Gui Che incident, our demon race has been vilified throughout the Primordial Chaos."

"Everything since then has been unearthed because of the Sacrificial Witch Sword—our demon race is now riddled with wounds; the Sacrificial Witch Sword does not aid us—it opposes us!"
