Chapter 205

What?

Does the Demon Emperor really have a way?!

Kunpeng subconsciously continued to ask.

If it were the past, he naturally wouldn't dare to question Di Jun's words like this.

You should know, achieving Dao and Sainthood is of great importance.

It can even be said to be Kunpeng's obsession.

Therefore, he hurriedly wanted to confirm.

Seeing Kunpeng's reaction, Di Jun seemed even more satisfied.

He smiled and nodded.

That's right!

Back when the Purple Heaven Palace was lecturing on the Dao, the Demon Master had once taken up a Dao-comprehension mat.

Logically, the Demon Master should have been taken as a disciple by Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

But unfortunately, he was interfered with by Hongyun Old Ancestor and lost that Dao-comprehension mat.

At the same time, he also lost the opportunity to attain Dao and Sainthood.

Di Jun spoke softly, suddenly bringing up old matters.

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng's face suddenly darkened.

How could this not be his pain?!

As for Hongyun Old Ancestor, Kunpeng could be said to hate him to the bone.

More importantly, Hongyun, despite being a do-gooder, ultimately still obtained a strand of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.

In contrast, I have gained nothing.

How could Kunpeng not hate this?!

Without letting him say more, Di Jun finally stopped beating around the bush.

He spoke loudly:

Therefore, we two can assist the Demon Master and seize that strand of Hongyun's Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.

Then, let the Demon Master attain Sainthood with this—how wonderful!

Would the Demon Master be willing to agree to such a plan?

Not bad!

Nowadays, only Hongyun still holds the last strand of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi in the world.

That also means the last hope for attaining Sainthood lies there.

Di Jun's method is naturally to kill and seize the treasure.

As soon as his words fell, Kunpeng immediately rejoiced.

This... this... is exactly what this subordinate could wish for!

In fact, Kunpeng has never not thought of directly seizing Hongyun's Primordial Chaos Purple Qi!

However, you should know, Hongyun is also a top-tier innate great power, with formidable strength.

If Kunpeng acted alone, he truly wouldn't have much confidence to defeat the opponent in one strike.

But with the assistance of Di Jun and Taiyi, it would be completely different.

Three quasi-saint powerhouses joining forces, even if Hongyun had astonishing abilities, could not escape.

Kunpeng never expected Di Jun to bestow such grace, making him overjoyed and extremely excited.

Even in his speech, he already referred to himself as a subordinate.

Previously, given Kunpeng's arrogance, he rarely showed such a deferential attitude.

Afterward, he eagerly said:

As Your Majesty the Demon Emperor said, if I can become a Saint, I will never forget the kindness of the Demon Race.

As a subordinate of the Demon Race, I ought to share weal and woe with the Demon Race, living and dying together.

The immense karmic ties of the Demon Emperor and Eastern Emperor, Your Majesties, I will not forget, and will surely repay a hundredfold.

Kunpeng hesitated not, repeatedly expressing his loyalty.

As long as I can attain Dao and Sainthood, everything is worth it.

It is evident how fervently Kunpeng longs for Dao and Sainthood, unable to wait.

Moreover, even if we retreat ten thousand steps.

Even if, after attaining Dao and Sainthood, I were to break my present promise, what could Di Jun and Taiyi do about it?!

Of course, Di Jun and Taiyi are unaware of Kunpeng's deepest thoughts.

Di Jun nodded in satisfaction.

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

However, Taiyi beside him couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling great doubt.

He gazed deeply at Di Jun, and secretly sent out a divine sense.

Brother, why let Kunpeng become a Saint instead of one of us?!

Taiyi transmitted this inquiry via divine sense to Di Jun.

In his view, the Saint's position falling on either of us would naturally be more secure.

Moreover, Taiyi is honored as the War God of the Demon Race, his battle prowess already outstanding, and he also possesses the Chaos Bell, a primordial supreme treasure.

No matter how you look at it, it would be better for either Di Jun or Taiyi to become a Saint than Kunpeng.

Regarding the doubts about the Great One, Di Jun also seemed to have anticipated it.

"Heh, proving the Dao and becoming a Saint is not that easy."

"Perhaps even if one obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, success is not guaranteed; one also needs the opportunity to become a Saint."

"We two were not accepted as disciples by the Dao Ancestor back then, nor did we occupy the Dao-comprehension mat."

"Therefore, Kunpeng is instead the existence most likely to become a Saint."

"Di Jun responded with his divine sense."

"Such an explanation eased Taiyi's expression slightly."

"Putting it that way...... it's not wrong."

"After all, perhaps everything that happened in the Purple Heaven Palace back then was predestined by the heavenly numbers in the dark."

"In this light, Kunpeng indeed possesses greater possibility and qualification to prove the Dao and become a Saint than the two of them."

"Immediately after, Di Jun's explanation continued to come."

"Moreover, as long as Kunpeng can become a Saint, our Demon Race's two Saints will surely endure eternally, their prosperity unmatched."

"Given time, we two will prove the Dao and reach Grand Luo Golden Immortal, standing equal to Saints, which will no longer be a problem."

"Most importantly, that Old Ancestor Hongyun back then was an entity chosen by the Primordial Purple Qi itself."

"If we rashly seize it, who knows what consequences will arise; letting Kunpeng take this risk is also most appropriate."

"By this point, Taiyi fully understood, and his brows relaxed."

"One must say, Di Jun's considerations are indeed more thorough, without any oversight."

"Put bluntly, Kunpeng is merely a sacrificial pawn in their scheme."

"Seizing the Primordial Purple Qi, if there are ominous consequences, Kunpeng will bear them himself."

"Conversely, if Kunpeng becomes a Saint, he can ensure the Demon Race's eternal survival and will become even more powerful."

"And Di Jun and Taiyi also hope to achieve an even greater Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

"It can be said that the three of them truly each have their own calculations."

"Taiyi no longer has any doubts."

"After a moment of contemplation, he also spoke up, stating:"

"Elder brother's words are correct!"

"This time, we will spare no effort in assisting the Demon Master, and will surely seize that Primordial Purple Qi."

"With Taiyi's nod, Kunpeng became overjoyed to the point of being unable to contain himself."

"The tremendous temptation of becoming a Saint lay before him, already making Kunpeng unable to consider its reasons or the thoughts of Di Jun and Taiyi."

"Subordinate thanks your two Majesties!"

"His words paused, and Kunpeng, unable to wait, continued to ask:"

"Please, your two Majesties, speak plainly."

"How should we act?"

"Hmph, this time we will certainly make that Hongyun pay the price and repay what this seat is due."

"Kunpeng gritted his teeth, appearing confident of having Hongyun firmly in his grasp."

"Even in his words, he hated to not immediately move out, attack and kill Hongyun, and seize the Primordial Purple Qi."

"But as soon as his words left his mouth."

"Opposite them, Di Jun and Taiyi were both startled, then their expressions turned somewhat strange."

"Indeed!"

"Although the three Quasi-Saints joined forces."

"But wanting to take down Hongyun seems also not that easy."

"This is not because they fear Hongyun's strength."

"But rather, this guy Hongyun is on extremely good terms with Zhenyuanzi."

"Just how good is their relationship?!"

"Little did they know, Hongyun rarely returns even to his own dojo, the Blazing Cloud Palace."

"Most of the time, he stays in the Five Mansions Temple, discussing the Dao with Zhenyuanzi."

"Once they act, Zhenyuanzi will certainly not stand by idly."

"That would make things somewhat tricky."

"Not only that."

"Di Jun and Taiyi also have not forgotten that, during the war between the Demon Race and the West, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi also once assisted the West."

"In other words, he and Chen Ku, even as far as Jieyin and Zhunti and the like, are perhaps quite on good terms."

"Troublesome!"

"Really, it's quite troublesome!"

"At once, Di Jun and Taiyi were speechless, secretly feeling annoyed."

"Just when several people were at a loss for what to do."

"Suddenly, a heavenly sound rumbled from afar, deafening."

"Congratulations, Demon Emperor Your Majesty!"

"These words caused Di Jun's expression to shift."

"Following the sound, they saw that it was none other than Bai Ze, one of the Ten Great Demon Saints, coming forward with a face full of enthusiasm."

"What's the matter!!"

"Di Jun asked in a deep voice."

"Bai Ze, without any nonsense, immediately responded:"

Report to Your Majesty, the Demon Empress earlier gave birth to ten sons, each of whom is a pure-blooded Golden Crow offspring.

Our Demon Court lineage now has successors.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun was slightly startled, then his eyes also revealed unconcealable delight.

Ten Great Golden Crown Princes?!

For Di Jun, this could be considered an unexpected joy.

At this moment, the remaining Demon Saints, as well as the strong ones of the Demon Court, also gathered outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

We congratulate the Demon Emperor, Your Majesty!

The birth of the Ten Great Golden Crown Princes is a great joy for our Demon Race.

The ten Golden Crown Princes will surely inherit the Demon Emperor's divine might, causing our Demon Race to flourish eternally and never decline.

Haha, good fortune, this is a great fortune for our Demon Race.

The Demon Race's living beings spoke up, a cacophony of voices.

Needless to say, everyone's faces were filled with excited expressions.

At this moment, in a certain direction of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Suddenly, golden light burst forth, illuminating the universe, blazing and dazzling.

Faintly, the silhouettes of the Ten Great Golden Crows could be seen flitting about, lively and agile.

Although the ten Golden Crown Princes have just been born, their aura is already quite extraordinary.

After all, the three-legged Golden Crow is inherently the offspring of top-tier innate divine spirits, innate anomalies that are hard to describe.

Seeing this, Di Jun's smile deepened further.

Even Taiyi and Kunpeng, who had been frowning in thought, couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

Regardless, this is indeed a good thing for the Demon Race.

But at this moment, Di Jun's expression suddenly shifted, his eyes brightening.

Haha, good, excellent!

The birth of my ten sons is truly timely.

Thus, we have heaven's timing, earth's advantage, and human harmony, fully in our favor.

The scheme against Red Cloud can succeed!

Di Jun, delighted, looked toward Taiyi and Kunpeng.

The two were puzzled, looking blankly at Di Jun.

Your Majesty, what do you mean?!

Kunpeng asked.

Only seeing Di Jun, full of vigor, glancing toward the direction of heaven and earth.

Then he spoke loudly:

The birth of the ten Golden Crows is a joy for our Demon Court; we ought to announce it to all beings and celebrate universally.

Thus, we invite all mighty experts from under heaven to gather outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Then we can seize the opportunity to move against Red Cloud.

After Di Jun's words fell, Taiyi and Kunpeng were greatly shaken, suddenly enlightened.

Marvelous!

Truly marvelous!

Thus, we need not have them provoke first; instead, we let Red Cloud come to us voluntarily.

However, Kunpeng still seemed somewhat worried.

This plan is excellent.

But... if Red Cloud does not come to the Demon Court, what then?!

Concerning whether he can become a sage, Kunpeng, who is honored as the 'First Wise One of the Primordial Wasteland,' at this moment also showed some sluggishness.

Moreover, he is also extremely worried that Red Cloud might not come to the Demon Court, causing unexpected changes.

Upon hearing this, there is fundamentally no need for Di Jun to respond.

Taiyi then gave a cold, stern gaze and spoke in a low voice:

Hmph, our Demon Court's invitation can be refused by a sage.

Red Cloud does not yet have the qualification to refuse.

If he insists on not coming, it would be disregarding the might of our Demon Race.

At that time, we can thus directly accuse Red Cloud, and we will not let it go lightly.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, what Taiyi said was also his intention.

Finally, Di Jun spoke, his voice sinister and cold:

According to this method, as long as Red Cloud dares to come.

When the feast ends, on his way back to the Primordial Wasteland, we will intercept and kill him in one fell swoop.

Do we still fear that we cannot obtain the Primordial Purple Qi?

In a short moment, Di Jun had already fully plotted everything.

After speaking, Kunpeng had no trace of worry left.

Good, excellent!

Thus, we will now prepare to invite the myriad mighty experts from under heaven.

Kunpeng acted swiftly and decisively.

The so-called Demon Court banquet is merely a facade.

Therefore, there's naturally no need to pick an auspicious day; the sooner, the better.

Immediately, the Demon Court also began to get busy.

And Hongyun Laozu didn't know, a scheme against him was also slowly unfolding.
