Chapter 206: Taiyi Spits Blood in Anger

Within the Heavenly Court, Lu Yun's many incarnations quickly took action after learning of the main body's instructions.

Before long, the Literature Dao incarnation, Lu Wen, left the Heavenly Court alone and sped toward the Primordial Land.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest delay, and he did not alert the Wu Clan in the Heavenly Court, as if he were merely going out for a casual stroll.

Hongjun, who was silently observing the situation of the Great Desolation from Zixiao Palace, immediately noticed Lu Wen's movements.

He could not help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart: that Lu Yun had actually sent only one incarnation to deal with the Demon Race's upcoming major move?

This seemed to be a slight underestimation of his own scheme this time!

Hongjun frowned slightly and decided to continue observing.

At the same time, the Demon Race on the Primordial Land had already begun to act.

They quietly headed toward some small tribes, attempting to capture the Human Race to refine the Slaughtering Witch Sword. These Demons thought their actions were secret, not knowing that their movements were already known to Lu Yun.

In a certain place, a group of Demons was preparing to strike at a weak Human Tribe.

"Be careful, everyone!"

"Move quickly, don't let them contact the Human Ancestral Land!"

"This matter must absolutely not be spread!"

They tiptoed toward the tribe, fearing they might startle the snake.

However, just as they were about to strike, a figure suddenly appeared before them; it was none other than Lu Wen.

"Oh no!"

This group of Demons was startled; they had not expected to encounter Lu Yun's incarnation here.

They were terrified and wanted to flee, but it was already too late.

"Hum!"

Lu Wen waved his large hand, and a spatial vortex appeared out of thin air, sucking all these Demons inside.

Everything happened so fast that these Demons could not react at all. They were swept into the spatial vortex and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye. Lu Wen turned and left with a cold expression, continuing to search for the next target.

In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun saw this scene, his expression remaining completely calm.

The Great Desolation was so vast, and the Demon Race was acting everywhere; even if this Lu Wen had powerful Supernatural Power, how many humans could he protect? Just as Hongjun had guessed, the Demon Race across the Great Desolation began to act one after another, with hundreds or thousands of attacks against the Human Race happening simultaneously. Even if Lu Wen solved one and immediately teleported to another place, he could hardly keep up.

But at this critical moment, the gatekeepers on the Human Path of Proving the Dao also set out, heading toward the various places where the Human Race was being attacked.

Of course, even so, it was still difficult to cover the entire Great Desolation.

But the Demon Race's attack this time was originally intended to be secret; now that the news had leaked to the Human Race, the Human Race already possessed many experts who also took action.

Besides this, some other races that had always wanted to befriend the Human Race became excited when they learned that the Demon Race was actually attacking the Human Race.

Wasn't this the best time for them to curry favor with the Human Race?

Therefore, they also took action to help protect the Human Race.

For a time, no matter where in the Great Desolation the Demon Race was, once they attempted to launch an attack on the Human Race, they would immediately encounter a counterattack.

In the Outer Space.

Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages were originally watching the actions on the Primordial Land with great anticipation.

They hoped this operation would cause the Human Race to suffer a great loss of vitality, provide enough materials for the Demon Race to refine the Slaughtering Witch Sword, and then allow them to launch a counterattack against the Wu Clan in one stroke to reverse the current situation.

However—

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, it's bad!"

"Our small monsters' operations on the Primordial Land have failed, and, they... they have all been captured!"

When Taiyi learned the news sent back from the Primordial Land, he was so angry that he nearly exploded.

He never expected that the secret operation he had planned would be cracked by the Human Race and other races working together in such a short time! This caused the anticipation in his heart to vanish instantly, replaced by endless anger and unwillingness.

What comforted him slightly was that those captured Demons had not been killed, only suppressed. In this way, it could not be considered a major blow to the Demon Race's vitality.

However, this comfort did not last long.

Because he soon received another shocking piece of news.

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, our Demon Race captives have all been escorted to the Human Race's Yuan City and handed over to that Lu Wen."

"Lu Wen used a method we have never seen before, actually putting all the captives into some unknown space."

"Now we have completely lost contact with them!"

This news left Taiyi both shocked and furious.

He was stunned to discover that this attack had not only failed to cause any losses to the Human Race, but had instead resulted in their own forces on the Primordial Land being almost entirely wiped out by the Human Race.

And all of this was something he had personally planned and pushed forward.

This result was truly unacceptable to him, to the point that he could not help but spit blood! "Oh no! Your Majesty Eastern Emperor is spitting blood!"

"Quick! Notify the Demon Master and the various Demon Sages to come!"

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, you must not have an accident!"

The many Demons were in a state of chaos, quickly passing the news to Baize and the other Demon Sages.

Soon, the Ten Great Demon Sages arrived from various places, their faces full of worry. When they saw that although Taiyi's face was pale, he was generally unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, are you alright?" Baize asked with concern.

"This Emperor is fine." Taiyi waved his hand, signaling that he was unharmed. He looked around and suddenly noticed someone was missing, "Why hasn't Kunpeng come?"

The Demon Sages looked at each other, only then realizing that Kunpeng was indeed not present.

"Strange, Kunpeng has always been punctual, why would he be absent today?" Yingzhao frowned and said.

"Could it be that he was delayed by something?" Ji Meng speculated.

Taiyi frowned deeply, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He suddenly recalled the previous operation plan; it was so secret, yet it was known in advance by the Human Race and other races, could it be...

"Investigate quickly! See where Kunpeng is now!" Taiyi ordered urgently. The Demon Sages took the order and left, and news was soon sent back.

"Report! Kunpeng is no longer on Ziwei Star; it is said that he has already returned to the North Sea," Baize reported with a grave expression.

"What?" Taiyi stood up abruptly, a look of anger on his face. "How could he return to the North Sea at a time like this? Could it be that he leaked the news?"

Hearing this, the Demon Saints also wore expressions of anger. They expressed one after another that they wanted to go and capture Kunpeng to eliminate this traitor for the Demon Race.

"That damn Kunpeng!" Ji Meng said through gritted teeth. "I saw long ago that he wasn't a good thing; I didn't expect him to actually betray us!"

"It's useless to say these things now," Baize said in a deep voice. "We must think of a way to deal with the current situation as soon as possible."

Taiyi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to assign blame, but to find a way to recoup the Demon Race's losses as quickly as possible.

"Pass down the order: let the Demon Race on the Primordial Land temporarily cease all actions and await further instructions," Taiyi commanded calmly.

However, they were now facing an awkward problem.

Because the Heavenly Court was still occupied by the Wu Clan, and they had previously sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath, they were currently unable to go directly to the Primordial Land to capture Kunpeng. And the Demon Race in the lower realm had suffered heavy losses due to this operation; their remaining strength was simply no match for Kunpeng.

"What should we do now?" Guiche asked with some helplessness.

This question stumped all the Demon Saints.

Even the usually resourceful Baize had no ideas at this moment.

They had originally thought about doing more things while Di Jun was in seclusion to salvage the situation and give Di Jun a surprise.

Who would have thought that the situation of the Demon Race had not improved, but had instead become even worse because of their actions! Taiyi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "For now, we can only endure and continue to wait for an opportunity."

Hearing this, although the Demon Saints were unwilling, they knew this was the best choice for the moment.

Therefore, Baize and the others nodded to show their agreement with Taiyi's opinion and were about to disperse.

But just at this moment, a voice suddenly came, resounding throughout the Great Desolation.

Lu Wen's voice was loud and firm, spreading across every part of the Great Desolation: "All races of the Great Desolation, hear me! Since our Human Race was born, we have always upheld the philosophy of living in harmony with all races, never contending with others. We build cities, raise livestock, and farm diligently, self-sufficient, only wishing to live a peaceful life here in the Great Desolation. However, the Demon Race has repeatedly invaded, oppressing our race, treating us like fish and meat; this is truly too much!"

His words, like a thunderclap, echoed throughout the Great Desolation, allowing every living being to hear them clearly.

Following that, Lu Wen announced loudly: "Today, we will no longer endure, no longer worry about the sentiment that the Saint Nuwa was born of the Demon Race. We want the Demon Race to know that the Human Race is not to be bullied by them! Now, I call upon all the strong ones of the Human Race to gather at our ancestral land, Shouyang Mountain. We will go together to Outer Space to launch a crusade against the Demon Race! We want the Demon Race to know that there is a price to pay for oppressing the Human Race!"

Hearing these words, Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages looked at each other in dismay.

They never expected that the Human Race would counterattack so decisively, and looking at this posture, they had no intention of stopping there.

"They... they actually dare to come to Outer Space to crusade against us?" Guiche said with some disbelief.

"It was clearly our Demon Race that suffered a loss this time, how can they still dare to use this to stir up trouble?" Jiuying had a look of shock and anger.

"Hmph! So what if they come? Our Demon Race is not to be trifled with!" Ji Meng snorted coldly, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Baize, however, had his brows tightly locked.

He could feel that this counterattack by Lu Yun was different from the past; it was clearly made with full preparation and determination.

Moreover, it could be seen from Lu Wen's words that the Human Race seemed prepared to fight the Demon Race to the death! Such determination and courage made Baize feel a trace of unease.

He took a deep breath and then slowly said: "Although our Demon Race's top strength is stronger than the Human Race's, we cannot lower our guard; we must immediately make preparations to respond."

Taiyi also realized the severity of the situation; he hurriedly took out a Treasure Mirror, which reflected the situation at Shouyang Mountain.

Lu Wen's words just now had clearly ignited the fighting spirit of the Human Race in an instant.

At this moment, on the Primordial Land, countless Human Race experts were responding one after another, some flying on swords, others riding various exotic beasts, rushing toward Shouyang Mountain from all directions.

"It seems that this time, the Human Race really intends to go to war with us," Taiyi said in a deep voice.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; clearly, he did not take the Human Race's counterattack to heart. "Since they are seeking death, then we shall grant their wish!"

As Taiyi's voice fell, the Demon Race also began to take action, preparing to meet the coming great war.

At the same time, other races in the Great Desolation were also shocked by Lu Wen's words.

They began to discuss it one after another.

Some expressed admiration for the courage and determination of the Human Race.

Others worried that the Human Race had only risen for a short time; they could naturally handle the Demon Race remaining on the Primordial Land, but if they really clashed with the upper echelons of the Demon Race, they would likely gain no advantage at all.

Some people from other tribes even suspected that Lu Yun had been too successful before, to the point that he was now getting carried away?...

On Kunlun Shan.

The Three Pure Ones were naturally also startled by the declaration Lu Wen had just made.

Tongtian had a look of astonishment on his face: "Is that Lu Yun crazy? He actually wants to take the Human Race to clash head-on with the Demon Race?"

Yuanshi sneered and said: "Hasn't he always been this crazy?"

Yuanshi turned his head to look at Laozi and found that Laozi's brows were tightly locked, as if he were worried.

Yuanshi could not help but ask: "Eldest Brother, are you worried that this move by Lu Yun will cause the Human Race to suffer heavy losses?"

Laozi nodded and slowly said: "The Human Race is, after all, the foundation of the Ren Sect. If the Human Race suffers a great loss of vitality because of Lu Yun, my Ren Sect will also have its foundation damaged!"

Tongtian hurriedly said: "Even so, why doesn't Eldest Brother step in to stop them? In any case, the place they chose to gather is Shouyang Mountain!"

Yuanshi, however, suddenly had a thought and said: "Eldest Brother, do not be anxious! This might also be an opportunity for you! If the Human Race suffers a great loss of vitality because of Lu Yun, and you step in at the critical moment to save the Human Race, wouldn't that be the perfect way to take back the Human Race Luck that was lost before?"

Laozi's eyes lit up; he felt that what Yuanshi said made a lot of sense! As long as the Human Race was not exterminated, the foundation of his Ren Sect would not be destroyed!

Once he saved the Human Race at the critical moment and reclaimed the Human Race Luck, he could then let the Human Race multiply on its own, and they would surely become even more prosperous in the future!

In any case, the Human Race already reproduced extremely quickly!

On the contrary, taking this opportunity to eliminate Lu Yun, this competitor, meant that the Human Race's luck would basically belong to his Ren Sect from then on! Thinking of this, Laozi smiled slightly and said: "Good!"

Tongtian opened his mouth but said nothing in the end, only feeling that the schemes of his two elder brothers were a bit too sinister.

To clearly enjoy the Human Race's luck while being so indifferent to the life and death of the Human Race was going too far!

But as the youngest, how could he win an argument against his two elder brothers?

Forget it!

Tongtian suddenly firmed up an idea in his heart: since their philosophies were incompatible, he, the poor Daoist, should move the Jie Sect to Golden Turtle Island sooner rather than later! (End of chapter)
