Chapter 41: Stunned Di Jun! Lu Yun's Merit Spiritual Treasure Flying Cart!

"Greetings, Demon Emperor!"

Several Demon Saints bowed in unison toward Di Jun.

Di Jun was sitting on his throne at this moment, a very bright smile on his face.

Upon seeing Taiyi and the others arrive, he smiled and said, "You have all worked hard this time!"

Seeing his elder brother in such high spirits, Taiyi could not help but feel a stir in his heart and said, "Brother, it seems this trip went very smoothly?"

Di Jun smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed! That Houtu was led around in circles by this Demon Emperor, and the person undergoing the tribulation was also captured by me!"

He briefly recounted the sequence of events that had just occurred, and Taiyi and the other high-ranking members of the Demon Race immediately praised Di Jun repeatedly.

The Demon Saint Guiche hurriedly asked, "May I ask the Demon Emperor, what is the background of that fellow undergoing the tribulation? To think it would attract such attention from those Ancestral Witches?"

The other Demon Saints also cast curious gazes toward Di Jun.

Di Jun said in a deep voice, "That person undergoing the tribulation is a human!"

"What?!"

All the high-ranking members of the Demon Race present, including Eastern Emperor Taiyi, were shocked by Di Jun's words.

Clearly, they had never expected that the other party would be a human! Taiyi frowned and said, "Since when did the Human Race have methods of cultivation?"

The other Demon Saints were even more perplexed.

Because they all knew that the Innate Humans originally created by Nuwa were born as immortals, so they had no need to undergo tribulation at all.

As for other humans born in the Postnatal Realm, they were extremely frail, and because they had never possessed cultivation methods, they were almost unable to grow stronger, thus being bullied repeatedly by all living beings in the Great Desolation.

If it weren't for the fact that after Nuwa created humans and became a saint, she declared she would protect the Human Race for ten thousand generations, allowing them to multiply and survive, the Human Race would likely have been wiped out by now!

To think that one had now appeared who triggered the Nine-fold Immortal Ascension Tribulation and even drew a group of Ancestral Witches to protect them—this was simply too surprising for them.

Di Jun shook his head slightly and said, "This Demon Emperor is also unclear about this matter. It is just as well that you have all arrived; now, this Demon Emperor will release that human and interrogate them thoroughly!"

The high-ranking members of the Demon Race naturally had no objections.

Thus, under their watchful eyes, Di Jun raised his hand and took out the Spiritual Treasure, the River Chart.

A flash of divine light shone from the River Chart, and it released the "Lu Yun" that Di Jun had previously captured.

But when everyone saw the appearance of "Lu Yun" clearly, they were all dumbfounded.

Because at this moment, where could they see any human? It was clearly a broken Humanoid Puppet.

Even Taiyi could not help but look at Di Jun in astonishment and say, "Brother, did you... make a mistake?"

Di Jun also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Immediately following this, his expression turned gloomy, ugly to the extreme.

By this point, how could he not know that he had been played?

The more smug he had been earlier when saying he had toyed with Houtu, the more stifled he felt now!

It was truly too humiliating! Although the surrounding Demon Saints all kept their mouths tightly shut and no one dared to mock him, he still felt his face burning, and he nearly vomited blood from anger!

After a long while, he forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart and said with feigned calmness, "It seems this Demon Emperor still underestimated that Houtu!"

Taiyi also realized what had happened and hurriedly comforted him, saying, "Brother, there is no need to mind it. That Houtu has always been skilled at deception; it is no matter that Brother was careless for a moment."

The corners of the other Demon Saints' mouths twitched slightly.

This was the first time they had learned that Houtu was actually skilled in the Dao of deception? However, they dared not say anything more, and even joined Taiyi in pacifying Di Jun. Only then did Di Jun's expression gradually soften.

He said in a deep voice, "Regardless, this time it is this Demon Emperor who has suffered a loss! However, this also proves that the human is absolutely extraordinary; otherwise, why would Houtu go to such lengths to protect them?"

This point was indeed acknowledged by the other high-ranking members of the Demon Race.

Taiyi immediately said, "Since that is the case, we must immediately step up our investigation to see where they have taken that human now!"

Di Jun nodded.

Immediately, he issued an order: "Order the entire Demon Race to closely investigate the movements of the Wu Clan!"

"Yes!"

On the Primordial Land.

Lu Yun sat on the gleaming, two-wheeled handcart.

Because it had been baptized by the Merit Golden Light, this cart had now become a Spiritual Treasure, so under his control, it could move on its own without needing to be pushed, and it was very stable.

For this reason, Lu Yun had even processed it slightly along the way, adding a carriage body to shield it from wind and rain.

Thus, a new type of transportation was born in the Great Desolation.

And this actually attracted the Merit Golden Cloud once again, granting Lu Yun quite a bit of merit and allowing his Merit Treasure Cart to be baptized once more!

Clearly, this was the Primordial Heavenly Dao acknowledging that the wooden cart he created possessed immense value for the beings of the Great Desolation, and it specifically bestowed a reward! After this baptism of merit, the cart actually gained the ability to fly!

The members of the Wu Clan who witnessed all of this with their own eyes felt their scalps tingling.

Even the few Ancestral Witches were seeing for the first time someone who could obtain merit one after another like this! Yet, Lu Yun seemed quite surprised by this himself, because he truly just wanted to improve the cart to make it look better and be more comfortable.

After some busy work, Lu Yun happily acquired a Spirit Treasure Flying Cart, and the surrounding members of the Wu Clan also each built two-wheeled handcarts, placed their prey on them, and then pushed the prey forward toward the Human Tribe.

Along the way, because they had built so many two-wheeled handcarts, they couldn't help but go out and hunt many more demon beasts.

These demon beasts were of various kinds, all things they each wanted to eat!

Now, they were just waiting to arrive at the Human Tribe so that Lu Yun could show off his skills and let them feast to their hearts' content.

Because Lu Yun had obtained the Spirit Treasure Flying Cart, his flight speed increased greatly, so their progress in the journey also became faster, and they even arrived near the Human Tribe mentioned by Houtu earlier than originally estimated.

This place was a massive Zhushan, with bamboo covering the mountains and plains all around, so the Human Tribe residing here was named the Zhushan Tribe.

When Lu Yun and his group arrived here in a hurry, they caused an astonishing commotion.

"Rumble..."

The humans within the Zhushan Tribe were all plunged into panic at this moment! They thought that some group of demon beasts was about to attack them, and each one was filled with terror.

The Tribal Chief of the Zhushan Tribe immediately ordered: "Quick! All warriors, prepare for battle immediately! The old, weak, women, and children, go hide!"

This Human Tribe has a scale of several thousand people, but they are all Acquired Humans; the strongest in terms of power is the Tribal Chief, who, because of his relatively good talent and the accidental consumption of a certain Spirit Fruit, possesses the strength of the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit.

But at this moment, his heart is still very flustered.

Because he knows that if his strength were to truly encounter a large-scale herd of Demon beasts, it would be completely useless.

At this time, he can only pray incessantly: I beseech the Holy Mother to protect my Zhushan Tribe!
