Chapter 137: Publicly Demanding a Debt

The sisters Xihe were both somewhat curious, not knowing what the matter was that Lu Yun said he needed Donghuang Taiyi to cooperate with.

Nuwa, however, immediately thought of how Lu Yun had previously said he had hoodwinked Di Jun, making the other party believe he had purchased the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and had paid a not-insignificant price for it.

Di Jun had even promised to use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in Taiyi's possession as a trade item, to be sent to Lu Yun later.

However, whether it was because news of Di Jun possessing the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" had leaked, leaving the Demon Race exhausted and busy dealing with it, causing them to forget this matter for a time, or whether Taiyi was intentionally pretending not to know, in any case, Lu Yun had not yet received the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

It was clear that Lu Yun was now taking this opportunity to collect the debt from Taiyi!

Nuwa said with great interest: "Then we shall watch your performance!"

She also knew that the current situation of Taiyi and the others, being able to block the attacks of the twelve Ancestral Witches and the many powerhouses of the Great Desolation, was already extremely difficult.

If Lu Yun were to give them a little surprise at this moment, it would likely be very stimulating!

Lu Yun did not say more and directly began to take action.

He had his Literature Dao avatar temporarily hold down the fort at the Wenqu Star, while his gaze turned to the Space avatar at his side, saying: "Go!"

That Space avatar nodded lightly, and with a thought, he vanished from before everyone, leaving the Mountain and River State Map.

Lu Yun waved his hand, and another image appeared in the air, which was precisely the Space avatar carrying the Mountain and River State Map, executing a Space Great Dao Divine Ability, rapidly leaving the Lunar Star.

Outside the Lunar Star, without the group of patrolling Demon Race members noticing anything at all, Lu Xukong quietly departed just like that, then rapidly shuttled through the Outer Space, heading straight for the Sun Star!

Before long, Lu Xukong arrived in the vicinity of the Sun Star.

Just as Lu Yun had investigated before, the battle around this Sun Star was still ongoing.

The twelve Ancestral Witches and many Great Desolation powerhouses were still unleashing various Supernatural Powers, launching attacks toward the Sun Star, while the Demon Race side, under the leadership of Taiyi and the various Demon Saints, was driving the "Zhou Tian Star Formation" to resist everyone's attacks.

Because Lu Yun had not yet cut off the connection between the Wenqu Star and the "Zhou Tian Star Formation," the operation of the Great Array at this moment had no issues, and it could still withstand the attacks from all sides.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yun had a thought, and the Space avatar Lu Xukong appeared in a high-profile manner, his entire body radiating brilliant light.

Such an act naturally drew the attention of both warring sides immediately.

But whether it was the defensive side of the Demon Race or the attacking side led by the twelve Ancestral Witches, they all merely glanced at Lu Xukong once before quickly withdrawing their gazes.

Because the aura emitted from Lu Xukong was merely that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal; on this battlefield, he was simply not worth looking at.

Among the two warring sides here, powerhouses at the Quasi-Saint and Great Luo Golden Immortal levels were everywhere, and the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals was even more astonishing.

Although everyone was somewhat puzzled as to why Lu Xukong was so high-profile, there was simply no time to pay attention to a Taiyi Golden Immortal now.

Yet at this very moment, Lu Xukong made a move that was unexpected by everyone on both sides.

He was seen driving a Space Great Dao Divine Ability, actually transmitting his own voice clearly toward the direction of the Sun Star!

"Donghuang Taiyi, someone has entrusted me to come and ask you, when will you return his Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife?"

Hearing these words, both warring sides were momentarily stunned, and their gazes all fell upon him in unison.

"This..."

Among the attacking side, several Great Luo Golden Immortals wore expressions of astonishment, seemingly doubting whether they had misheard just now.

One must know that even they, these Great Luo Golden Immortals, could only fish in troubled waters on this battlefield; how could a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal on the other side dare to do such a shocking thing? The twelve Ancestral Witches were suspicious and uncertain in their hearts, yet they also looked toward the Demon Race side with some schadenfreude.

After all, Donghuang Taiyi's status within the Demon Race was second only to Di Jun, and he was an existence revered throughout the entire Great Desolation; to be challenged so blatantly by a Taiyi Golden Immortal was simply the height of absurdity!

And the Demon Race side was also somewhat bewildered at this moment.

The many Demon Saints all looked at Donghuang Taiyi, seemingly waiting for the other party's reaction.

Donghuang Taiyi himself was also somewhat stunned, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes, not knowing what kind of trick this Taiyi Golden Immortal was playing.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lu Xukong, and said: "Who are you?"

"I am Lu Xukong!" Lu Xukong said loudly, "My Dao Lord asks you, when will you return the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife?"

Taiyi could not help but become angry, shouting: "Nonsense! The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is this Emperor's Spiritual Treasure; who in the Great Desolation does not know this? Why should this Emperor return anything to some Dao Lord?"

Several Demon Saints on the side also had gloomy expressions.

Guiche shouted: "This little Taiyi Golden Immortal is just here seeking death, so let us fulfill his wish!"

As his voice fell, it directly caused the surrounding Demon Race powerhouses to each reveal killing intent, unable to wait to finish off Lu Xukong.

After all, they had long since been blinded by bloodlust; how could they tolerate such humiliation?

Lu Xukong, however, said in a clear voice: "Things have come to this, why must you continue to play dumb? Back then, Di Jun reached a deal with my Dao Lord, agreeing that he would find an opportunity to present the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, but as a result, there has been no movement until now, and I had no choice but to come and urge collection. Yet you take such an attitude; could it be that you want to renege on the debt?"

Taiyi, who had already prepared to strike, could not help but feel suspicious and uncertain again upon hearing this.

He temporarily suppressed his killing intent and asked in a deep voice: "And who is your Dao Lord?"

The other powerhouses nearby also locked their gazes onto Lu Xukong.

Lu Xukong sneered: "I originally wanted to leave some leeway for your Demon Race, but since you insist on exposing it, then I will say it! My Dao Lord's name is Lu Yun!"

Once these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar.

"This person is actually related to that Lu Yun?"

"In that case, what he just said was that Di Jun and Lu Yun conducted a trade!"

"Sure enough, Lu Yun sold the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Di Jun!"

"The Demon Race actually said they didn't have it before; now let's see how they can deny it!"

The gazes of the various Great Desolation powerhouses looking toward the Sun Star all became much more fervent at once.

The twelve Ancestral Witches also could not help but look at each other, and finally, their gazes fell upon Houtu, asking if Houtu recognized this person.

However, it was a pity that even Houtu, who had the best relationship with Lu Yun, did not recognize Lu Xukong, only feeling that the other party looked inexplicably familiar.

As for the Demon Race side, the powerhouses there all had their expressions change drastically at this moment, and the killing intent in their gazes toward Lu Xukong was almost overflowing! Originally, they had always claimed to the outside world that Di Jun had not obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, in order to lower the fighting resolve of other forces in the Great Desolation as much as possible.

Who would have thought that now, because of this one little Taiyi Golden Immortal, all previous efforts had gone down the drain! (End of chapter)
