Chapter 57: Peering into the Zhushan Tribe! The Dumbfounded Demon Race High Command!

Inside the Heavenly Court, within the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Di Jun looked somewhat restless, waiting for reports from his subordinates.

He had just ordered the Ten Great Demon Sages under his command to find a way to investigate the situation at the Zhushan Tribe.

But that Zhushan Tribe had gathered several Ancestral Witches; the difficulty of investigating without alerting them was truly too great.

After all, they were not Saints, and they did not possess any Spiritual Treasure capable of deceiving the twelve Ancestral Witches!

Just at this moment—

"Big Brother!"

Donghuang Taiyi hurried into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and reported a piece of news: "I have just discovered that Gonggong and the others have now also arrived at that Human Tribe!"

Di Jun's expression sank, and he said, "As expected, there must be something suspicious about this! But it is extremely infuriating that we are currently unable to investigate!"

Taiyi said, "If there is truly no other way, we can lead the Ten Great Demon Commanders and numerous Demon Generals to set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation and directly trigger the power of the stars to launch an attack on that Human Tribe!"

Di Jun naturally understood what Taiyi meant.

This was to launch a surprise attack; even if the twelve Ancestral Witches could survive, the humans in that Human Tribe would certainly all perish!

In this way, no matter what conspiracy the twelve Ancestral Witches had, as long as that strange human died, everything would vanish into thin air! However, Di Jun shook his head and said, "Unless it is a last resort, do not use this method."

In his view, if the twelve Ancestral Witches could create one strange human, even if it were killed, they might just create a second or third one later! By then, they might make it even more secretive, making it harder for them to investigate.

Not to mention, the Human Race was also connected to the Saint Nuwa! If the minor demons of the lower realm were ignorant and attacked the humans, Nuwa might not hold it against them.

After all, both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, and Saints must also follow the law of natural selection! But if they, the high-ranking members of the Demon Race, were so shameless as to use the Great Array to slaughter a group of weak Acquired Humans, then Nuwa would certainly not let them off easily! Unless they could find evidence that the Human Tribe posed a threat to the Demon Race, then Nuwa would have nothing to say.

But right now, they had no such evidence.

"But there is no other way besides this now!" Taiyi looked helpless.

As soon as he finished speaking—

"There is a way!"

A voice came from outside the hall, and immediately after, a figure hurried in! Di Jun and Taiyi looked and realized it was Baize, one of the Ten Great Demon Sages.

Di Jun immediately asked, "Baize, what method have you found?"

Baize smiled and said, "Your subordinate just discovered that humans from several other tribes around the Zhushan Tribe have sent many people to head to the Zhushan Tribe together! Then I had a flash of inspiration and specifically left a few Spirit Pearls of the Shadow Spirit Race on some of the humans! And those few humans have already been brought into the Zhushan Tribe by an Ancestral Witch!"

Hearing this, the eyes of Taiyi and Di Jun both lit up fiercely.

"A good method!"

"Baize, you are truly the strategist of our Demon Race, hahaha!"

The so-called Shadow Spirit Race was a very weak race among the Demon Race.

But this race possessed a peculiar talent: they could gestate a Spirit Pearl within their bodies, and these Spirit Pearls possessed the ability to record.

The Tribal Chief of the Shadow Spirit Race possessed a secret technique to extract those images from a distance! In other words, they only needed to find the Tribal Chief of the Shadow Spirit Race now to reveal everything that had happened within the Zhushan Tribe!

Thinking of this, Di Jun immediately said, "Quickly bring the Tribal Chief of the Shadow Spirit Race here!" Baize smiled slightly and said, "Your subordinate has already brought her; she is outside the hall, and Your Majesty can call her in at any time!"

"Good, good, good!"

Di Jun was overjoyed and said, "Then let her come up quickly! Also, notify the other Demon Sages to come, and have the Demon Master rush over as well; we shall all see what those Witches are plotting among the humans!"

"Yes!"

Baize acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Not long after, the Tribal Chief of the Shadow Spirit Race was brought up.

"Shadow Spirit pays respects to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, and to His Majesty the Eastern Emperor!"

This was a female demon at the Mysterious Immortal level; the moment she saw Di Jun and Taiyi, she knelt down excitedly to pay her respects.

She had never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to meet these two Demon Emperors! Di Jun smiled slightly and said, "Rise, Shadow Spirit! As long as you perform well this time, this Demon Emperor will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Yes!"

Shadow Spirit stood up excitedly and said solemnly, "Shadow Spirit will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty!"

After speaking, she took out a bead.

The bead looked pitch-black, as if it were just a round black stone, completely unremarkable.

But as Shadow Spirit sprayed a mouthful of demon blood onto it, while simultaneously activating a strange demonic power within her body, the bead suddenly burst forth with brilliant light.

The next moment, a clear, three-dimensional image appeared directly before Di Jun and Taiyi.

Di Jun focused his gaze, his spirit jolted, and he said, "That's right! It is this human!"

Taiyi also looked carefully at the image.

They saw that in the Human Tribe of Zhushan, both humans and Witches were sitting around chairs, with Lu Yun surrounded in the middle.

Seeing such a scene, they naturally felt even more that the Witches must be plotting something in this Human Tribe! At this moment, Lu Yun was holding a golden, glittering kitchen knife, and in front of him were the corpses of three huge demonic beasts.

One that flew in the sky, one that crawled on the ground, and one that swam in the water—three different kinds of demonic beasts!

Lu Yun said solemnly to the surrounding Witches and humans, "Watch carefully! This is the true method for preparing ingredients!"

As his voice fell, his figure moved violently, appearing near the corpses of the three demonic beasts, and the precious blade in his hand suddenly burst forth with streaks of blade light! Cutting, slicing, shaving, chopping, scraping, splitting!

Trimming, patting, gouging, spinning, scraping, food carving! The Twelve Culinary Blade Techniques were displayed by Lu Yun to the fullest.

Originally, the blade tools required for these techniques were all different, but at this moment, the kitchen knife in Lu Yun's hand could change as he wished, so there was naturally no need to change tools during the process.

The result was that everyone only saw his figure turn into a phantom; wherever he went, countless blade shadows fell, and the demonic beast corpses in front of him were sliced apart one after another, turning into pieces of meat!

To achieve the best tasting effect, he chose different methods for processing each part.

Thus, in just this short moment, the three huge demonic beast corpses in front of him had remarkably all turned into various perfect ingredients, landing on the plates he took out at will!

Several Demon Sages hurried to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and happened to see this scene, and they were all dumbfounded! They looked at Di Jun in unison; although they didn't speak, their expressions were clearly asking: Did His Majesty the Demon Emperor have us rush over just to watch how a human dismembers our Demon Race?
