Chapter 61: The Demon Race's Calculated Plot! Giving Lu Yun the Position of a Demon Saint?

The Heavenly Court.

Di Jun and Taiyi were also somewhat stirred as they watched Lu Yun's strength increase.

"The speed of this Human Race's progress is certainly not slow!"

Di Jun's expression was somewhat gloomy.

One must know, he had only seen Lu Yun yesterday, and at that time, the other party was merely undergoing Tribulation Transcendence!

Yet in less than two days, this human had not only become a Heavenly Immortal, but had actually reached the Celestial Immortal Peak!

Fortunately, a mere Celestial Immortal Peak was still like an ant to him.

But he was also more urgent in wanting to eliminate Lu Yun.

Therefore, he looked directly at the surrounding high-ranking members of the Demon Race and asked, "How do you all view this Human Race?"

Demon Saint Guiche was the first to speak, saying, "This person is a massive disaster for our Demon Race; he must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

The other Demon Saints did not feel any surprise at such a statement from Guiche.

After all, they already knew about the incident where Guiche had lost all face because of that human! Furthermore, what Guiche said did indeed have some merit.

Not to mention anything else, the skills Lu Yun had previously displayed in cooking demon beast meat—if that were to spread widely throughout the Great Desolation, it would absolutely be a huge blow to their Demon Race!

The Wu Clan would certainly intensify their hunting of the Demon Race, and if powerhouses from other factions also developed an interest in demon beasts, that would definitely not be a good thing for the Demon Race! Therefore, many Demon Saints quickly echoed Guiche's opinion.

However, they also saw that Lu Yun was protected by merit, and knew that the price required to kill the other party would not be small.

Not to mention that there were now twelve Ancestral Witches by Lu Yun's side; even if they spared no cost, the difficulty of wanting to kill Lu Yun was extremely immense.

Taiyi, however, did not dampen Di Jun's spirits.

After all, no matter how difficult, there was still room to maneuver! And since this human made his elder brother so unhappy, he naturally had to find a way to resolve the other party for his brother! Therefore, he looked at Baize, who had always been the wisest among the Ten Great Demon Sages, and said, "Baize, do you have any thoughts?"

Di Jun and the other Demon Saints also looked at Baize in unison.

Baize pondered for a long time, then suddenly said to Di Jun and Taiyi, "Your Majesties, Demon Emperor and Eastern Emperor, why don't we in the Heavenly Court first offer amnesty to that human?"

"Amnesty?"

Hearing these two words, many Demon Saints present showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

But before they could speak, Di Jun's heart suddenly stirred, and he waved his hand, signaling for Baize to continue.

Baize smiled and said, "Amnesty—once that human accepts, how we deal with him after he arrives at the Heavenly Court is naturally up to us! His relationship with the Wu Clan will also be broken because of this!"

Taiyi asked, "What if he does not accept?"

The smile on Baize's face became even brighter as he said, "If he does not accept, then that is contempt for the Demon Emperor. When that time comes, we can naturally take action against him in a justified manner! We might not even need to attack personally; we only need to put pressure on that human, and they will naturally have to obediently hand him over to extinguish the anger of our Demon Race!"

Pausing slightly, Baize added, "I imagine that if the Wa Emperor learns of this matter, she should not blame us for anything!"

Once these words were spoken, the eyes of the surrounding high-ranking Demon Race members lit up.

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

"Haha, as expected of Baize!"

"Although we could indeed achieve the effect through other means, it would be inevitable that the Wa Emperor would be dissatisfied with our Demon Race!"

"If we use this method of 'courtesy first, force later,' the Wa Emperor will have nothing to say!"

It was only at this moment that Di Jun realized that if he and the others rashly bullied the weak and made a big scene to deal with a human, and Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the Human Race, found out, it might cause her displeasure. After all, Nuwa was currently the greatest backer for the Demon Race, and he did not want to offend her easily.

Fortunately, Baize had made up for his previous oversight at this time.

As for the fact that he had already taken action against Lu Yun before, it could also be explained that he simply did not know the other party was a human, and thought he was on the side of the Wu Clan! Surely, the Wa Emperor would understand him!

Thinking of this, Di Jun asked again, "Baize, then what position do you think we should use to offer amnesty to that human?"

Baize pondered for a moment and slowly spat out two words: "Demon Saint!"

"What?!"

The expressions of the surrounding Demon Saints changed drastically one by one.

Demon Saint Guiche was the first to speak, saying, "Baize, what kind of rotten idea is this? What virtue or ability does that human have to be ranked alongside us?"

Demon Saint Jiuying also immediately said, "That's right! A mere Heavenly Immortal, and he can become a Demon Saint? It's simply a huge joke!"

Demon Saint Chitie snorted coldly and said, "With his meager cultivation, he wouldn't even be qualified to serve as a Demon General!"

Although the other Demon Saints did not say anything, they also showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

But before Baize could say anything, Taiyi suddenly waved his hand and said, "No! I actually think Baize's words make sense!"

The Demon Saints looked at each other in dismay.

Demon Saint Feilian asked in confusion, "Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, why do you say that?"

Taiyi grinned and said, "If not for this, how could we entice him to take the initiative to break with the Wu Clan and defect to our Demon Race?"

Di Jun was also thoughtful and nodded, saying, "Correct! The Human Race is somewhat special after all. If we want to offer amnesty to this person and only give him the position of an ordinary Demon General, how could the Wa Emperor see the importance we place on the Human Race?"

Hearing this, the surrounding Demon Saints finally realized that they were treating Lu Yun with such favor mostly for the sake of Nuwa, the Saint.

Baize smiled and said, "Your Majesties are absolutely right! Furthermore, he isn't a real Demon Saint; it's just giving him a title, so why should you all care?"

Hearing this, the various Demon Saints suddenly had no objections.

A smile also appeared on Di Jun's face, and he said, "Since that is the case, Baize, this matter will be left to you to handle!"

Baize readily agreed, saying, "As you command! This subordinate will personally go to that Human Tribe and invite him to the Heavenly Court! I will take this opportunity to declare that the Human Race is also a part of our Demon Race!"

"Good! Hahaha..."

Di Jun laughed loudly.

In truth, he did not value the weak Human Race all that much.

But he had to consider Nuwa's feelings.

Once the Human Race truly and completely became subordinates of the Demon Race, then Nuwa would inevitably have to contribute more to the Demon Race, rather than remaining distant as she was now.

Especially regarding the struggle for hegemony between the Wu and Demon races, Nuwa had never participated.

If not for this, how could the Wu Clan have been so arrogant until now? This time, they would take the opportunity to drag the Human Race into the water as well; surely Nuwa could not just watch the Human Race be slaughtered by the Wu Clan and remain indifferent, could she?

Thinking of this, Di Jun became even more delighted and urged Baize to set off as quickly as possible.

Baize immediately took his leave, turned and departed from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and taking some Demon Generals and Demon Soldiers under his command, he headed toward the Zhushan Tribe in a grand and mighty procession.
