Chapter 207: Fuxi Kneels to Beg Nüwa, the Demon Court Makes a Move!
The majestic Demon Emperor respectfully requests.
Nüwa merely sent a maid to make a trip.
This act can almost be regarded as disrespect toward the Demon Race.
Fuxi naturally felt quite embarrassed.
But he also knew that Nüwa's mind was set.
He naturally shouldn't say more, and could only leave it at that.
However, Fuxi did not leave just then.
He then turned serious and continued:
"Sister, I have one more request."
Nüwa furrowed her brows even tighter, silently looking at Fuxi, waiting quietly for him to continue.
"This time, if necessary, I hope you can act."
"We only need you to stop the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti."
Facing Nüwa, Fuxi naturally would not hide the Demon Court's true intention, nor could he conceal it.
And this is also the true purpose of his coming this time.
Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, after all, are quite on good terms with Chen Ku.
Even if Chen Ku acts, the Demon Court's people have little to fear.
However, if Jieyin and Zhunti also do not hesitate to act to protect Hongyun, then the Demon Court's aim would not be so easily achieved.
Or put another way, facing a saint, the Demon Court basically has no chance of success.
"Impossible!"
Nüwa immediately spoke.
To have her bolster the Demon Court's might, Nüwa unhesitatingly refused.
Not to mention meddling in the Demon Race's schemes to calculate against the Hongyun elder.
This is completely unacceptable to Nüwa.
Hearing Nüwa refuse again, Fuxi anxiously said:
"Sister, this concerns whether the Demon Court can become even more prosperous, and even whether it can produce a saint."
"This time, sister, you absolutely must not refuse."
"Moreover, we only need you to make a slight move to block Jieyin and Zhunti, without a life‑or‑death battle."
"This surely isn't anything difficult for you."
As for this, Fuxi had no intention of backing down.
This is also exactly why Di Jun earnestly entrusted him to come and persuade Nüwa.
You should know that although Nüwa and Jieyin and Zhunti are both saints,
but the merit Jieyin and Zhunti gained from establishing their teachings is far less than Nüwa's.
The gap in their strength is also enormous.
If Nüwa can act, she can single‑handedly stop the two great saints Jieyin and Zhunti, which is no problem.
As for this, Nüwa's gaze remained firm.
She was just about to continue speaking to refuse.
Who would have thought, just then Fuxi did something astonishing.
"Fuxi, on behalf of all Demon Race beings, kneels and begs the saint!"
Fuxi suddenly spoke in a loud voice.
Before his words even fell, he without hesitation knelt directly before Nüwa.
In his words, he no longer referred to himself as a brother.
This shows his attitude; at this moment he is not persuading his sister by brotherly command.
Rather, he represents the identity of the Demon Court's Sovereign Xi.
One can also see how steadfast Fuxi is on this matter, vowing not to rest until his goal is achieved.
"Brother, you......"
Nüwa was greatly startled, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Fuxi doing this also let Nüwa see what she had never seen and hear what she had never heard.
At the same time, Nüwa also knew that if she did not agree, Fuxi would likely not give up easily.
Helpless, Nüwa pondered a moment and could only nod.
"Forget it!"
"Just this once, not to be repeated!"
Nüwa finally agreed, unable to help but sigh.
Hearing this, Fuxi then rejoiced beyond expectation, his face showing a smile.
A saint's words are naturally not false.
Thus, even if Jieyin and Zhunti wished to protect Hongyun, it would be absolutely impossible.
This wave...... is secure!
Fuxi did not know.
Their worries, at this moment, are really somewhat unnecessary.
In the Western Heaven and Earth, on Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin and Zhunti naturally had already received the invitation sent by Taiyi and others.
Even if there is some grudge between the two, sages cannot be insulted, and rules cannot be broken.
Even, when Taiyi and others previously came here, they also behaved extremely respectfully and courteously.
Times change, eras shift!
In the past, Taiyi might still have had the qualifications to challenge Jieyin and Zhunti to their faces.
But now, he no longer has such strength and confidence.
However, regarding the so-called demon court invitation, Jieyin merely glanced at it briefly and then casually discarded it, paying it no heed.
"Heh... What demon court grand event."
"That Di Jun, Taiyi, and others clearly have ulterior motives, not just for the wine."
Jieyin curled his lip, saying this rather disdainfully.
What the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and others could see, Jieyin and Zhunti were no exception.
They have already seen through the demon court's true purpose.
"This time, the demon court intends to act against Hongyun."
"We... really just stand by and watch?"
Zhunti, however, seemed somewhat hesitant.
It is not that he is benevolent and cannot bear to see Hongyun suffer calamity.
Rather, Jieyin and Zhunti know Chen Ku's scheme and want to draw Hongyun into the Western realm.
If Hongyun were to die, wouldn't that render Chen Ku's layout futile?
More importantly, if that outcome occurs, the demon court would control the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and it would be highly likely to give rise to another sage.
If they later cause trouble in the Western realm again, it would be quite troublesome.
This is also something Zhunti does not wish to see.
Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Jieyin pondered for a moment and then spoke in a deep voice:
"If that is the case, then let us just see how the disciple reacts."
"Moreover, Hongyun is by no means a weakling."
"Furthermore, with Zhenyuanzi's assistance, even if the demon court has schemes, they may not necessarily succeed."
Jieyin's attitude is quite clear.
What he cares about is not Hongyun Ancestor, but his own disciple, namely Chen Ku.
If Chen Ku were to react, then their intervention would still not be too late.
In other words, even if Jieyin were to act, it would be solely to protect his own disciple, not to fight for Hongyun.
Of course, more importantly, Jieyin and Zhunti, like the Three Pure Ones and others, need to consolidate their cultivation.
In the Western realm nowadays, there are still many more things awaiting them to do.
"Let us for now continue to seek spiritual treasures, storing each one away."
"Hehe, this is indeed a major affair in the Western realm."
While speaking, Jieyin could not help but show a smile.
After making peace with Luohu and the boundless demonic energy was withdrawn, the recovery speed of the Western realm also became even more astonishing.
And precisely because of that, spiritual treasures have been born one after another in the Western realm.
Without exception, each spiritual treasure is of innate grade.
If this were spoken of, it would be astonishing to the world, causing countless great powers to drop their jaws in shock.
After all, the primordial heaven and earth had long been formed in endless ages; how could innate spiritual treasures be born?
But Jieyin and Zhunti are very clear about this.
In the past, the Western realm was absolutely not inferior to the Eastern realm.
Whether it be fortune, blessings, or spiritual qi, all are astonishing.
Therefore, these spiritual treasures, and even more spiritual roots, were already affected by the Longhan Initial Calamity and the Dao-Demon Struggle from the very beginning of their conception, causing them to die in the womb.
Now that the Western realm has recovered, it is equivalent to providing it with endless spiritual qi and vitality, and so on.
Thus, it can continue to gestate and form, and gradually manifest.
For Jieyin and Zhunti, who are accustomed to poverty, this is simply like gathering spiritual treasures until their hands go soft, naturally making them overjoyed.
Even just mentioning this, Jieyin cannot help but reveal a knowing smile.
And the changes in the Western realm are not limited to this.
Zhunti nodded, agreeing with Jieyin's words, and then continued speaking:
"Besides that, my Buddhist sect disciples are also continually growing in number."
"We should also teach these disciples to cultivate."
Not bad!
The Western realm's revival also attracted many beings to come and join the Buddhist sect.
These disciples are the hope of the Buddhist sect's future, and Jieyin and Zhunti naturally value them greatly.
Moreover, the stronger the sect's disciples become, the greater the Buddhist sect's reputation naturally becomes.
In short, the flourishing of the Western realm is no longer a distant, unattainable dream as it once was.
But it is truly and concretely placed before our eyes.
Compared to this, any other matter naturally pales in importance.
After their conversation, Jieyin and Zhunti spoke no further.
As for the demon court's affairs, they also paid no heed whatsoever.
The two continued to busy themselves, constantly walking through the Western realm and harvesting various spiritual treasures.
It can be said that, apart from the various sages, nearly all the top-tier mighty experts of the present age had gathered outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.
For a time, within the Heavenly Court, shadows flitted, voices roared, and it was exceedingly lively.
The mighty experts all spoke up, congratulating Di Jun and Tushan Jiu'er.
In response, Di Jun's face was full of smiles, proud and pleased.
And upon seeing Hong Yun indeed arrive, Di Jun's smile grew even deeper.
Unnoticed by anyone, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, captivating the heart and soul.
He exchanged a glance with Taiyi and Kunpeng beside him, and the three simultaneously nodded.
Obviously, they had already made certain arrangements and preparations in secret.
Of course, Kunpeng and the others, though eager, restrained themselves strongly and would not act directly.
Within the vast Demon Court, the mighty experts exchanged cups and mingled, truly carefree and at ease.
Fine wine gave off fragrance, intoxicating the heart and mind.
Various spiritual roots and immortal fruits were also countless, lush and fragrant, spiritual light swaying, mysterious and profound.
This celebration lasted a full hundred years.
On this day, Di Jun finally spoke.
"Haha, this time my ten sons have been born; I thank all fellow Daoists for coming to join this grand event."
"This grand feast should end here."
"Fellow Daoists, forgive me for not seeing you off!"
Di Jun's words were the order to evict the guests.
In fact, after a hundred years, they had long been impatient and eager to try.
Hearing this, the mighty experts said nothing more, merely nodded, and each left the Thirty-Three Heavens, returning to the Primordial World.
During this hundred-year celebration, they drank countless fine wines and ate many spiritual roots and immortal fruits.
Now they indeed needed to return to their own dojos, close themselves off to digest the astonishing medicinal potency.
Not long after, the originally bustling Demon Court gradually returned to calm.
Other mighty experts, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the like paid no heed.
And watching the fading backs of Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun, the figures of Di Jun and the others also instantly vanished from the spot, following after.
The place to act, naturally, could not be within the Demon Court.
Just as previously said, only by striking on Hong Yun's return journey could other losses of the Demon Race be avoided.
After all, Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi possess considerable strength; if they went berserk, it could very well make the Demon Race pay a heavy price.
By then, other Demon Race experts being involved would be unfavorable.
This shows the depth of the scheming of Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others.
Now speaking of the Old Ancestor Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi.
Leaving the Demon Court, Hong Yun still felt a bit of wine-induced warmth in his ears.
He wore a smile across his face.
"Hehe, I said before, it was just my old friend overthinking."
"As for Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others, they behaved extremely courteously."
"This is a good thing; they would hardly stir up any dispute."
Hong Yun looked at Zhenyuanzi and said this.
In his words, there was a sense of self-satisfaction at having guessed correctly.
As he said, during the previous hundred years, Di Jun and Taiyi showed no sign of abnormality; on the contrary, they were even more courteous.
This further convinced Hong Yun that Zhenyuanzi's earlier worry was completely unnecessary.
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi could not refute.
However, he still wore a solemn expression, deep in thought.
"This..."
"I don't know why, but I still have a faint ominous premonition, as if something is about to happen."
"We had better return to the Five Zhuang Temple quickly."
Perhaps it was because Zhenyuanzi had been vigilant from the start, so he never let his guard down.
Moreover, as the celebration in the Demon Court ended, that uneasy feeling grew stronger and would not dissipate.
While speaking, his inner mana surged, pulling Hong Yun along, and his speed increased somewhat.
"Haha, old friend, you really..."
Seeing Zhenyuanzi's jumpy, startled appearance, Hong Yun couldn't help but laugh loudly.
He was just about to speak, to continue saying something.
But just then, an abrupt change occurred!
