Chapter 73: The Expectations of the Demon Race's High Command! The Enraged Nuwa and Fuxi!
Above the clouds.
Yuanshi looked at Laozi with a puzzled expression and said, "Elder Brother, why do you want to make Guangchengzi and the others wait?"
Before Laozi could reply, Tongtian could not help but say, "Otherwise, Second Brother, what do you think should be done?"
Yuanshi said in a deep voice, "Naturally, we should make that Human come out directly! The Taiqing Saint wants to take him as a disciple, yet he is so dismissive; it is simply arrogant to the extreme!"
Tongtian said helplessly, "Even if Guangchengzi and the others risked their lives, it would be impossible for them to charge into that Stone Palace in front of those of the Wu Clan, not to mention that Houtu herself is guarding inside that Stone Palace!"
Yuanshi sneered, "If those of the Wu Clan dare to take action against our disciples, wouldn't that give us the perfect reason to take action ourselves?"
So, this was his true intention.
He was currently looking for an excuse to drag Laozi and Tongtian along to give those Ancestral Witches a good beating, preferably wiping them out to save them from continuing to pollute the Great Desolation! When Tongtian realized his intent, he finally understood completely why he had not told Guangchengzi about the situation within the Zhushan Tribe.
He knew his disciple's personality and was deliberately waiting for Guangchengzi to stir up conflict!
For a moment, Tongtian could not help but feel a bit angry.
Because Yuanshi was forcing him and Laozi to cooperate in taking action!
After all, once those of the Wu Clan took action, Duobao and Xuandu would naturally not be able to sit by and watch Guangchengzi being attacked, and would inevitably be drawn into it; and he and Laozi would naturally not be able to watch their disciples being bullied! "Second Brother, you..."
Tongtian could not help but want to argue with Yuanshi, but Laozi suddenly said at this moment, "Enough, no need for more words. It is only a day's time, so just wait for him."
After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, appearing as if he did not want to say anything more.
With his words interrupted, Tongtian stopped his train of thought.
However, he felt increasingly restless in his heart, suddenly feeling that perhaps after returning, he should speak to Laozi and Yuanshi about separating the household! Living with these two elder brothers was simply too exhausting!
Once Yuanshi saw that Laozi had made a decision, he did not say anything more.
However, he was not worried about lacking an opportunity to take action.
Because from the current perspective, those Ancestral Witches would certainly not let that Lu Yun be initiated into the Ren Sect! When the time came, his eldest brother Laozi would have to take action whether he wanted to or not!
Otherwise, would he just sit by and watch the other party preach to the Human Race and siphon away the fortune of the Ren Sect? The three Saints fell into silence, each waiting quietly.
A day's time was indeed extremely short for them.
However, for the current Human Race, it was enough for them to be busy with many things.
For instance, many Humans from the Zhushan Tribe who had gone out hunting returned one after another, bringing back many prey, and even more Humans from other tribes arrived from all directions, preparing to wait for Lu Yun to preach.
For instance, at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, the ancestral land of the Human Tribe, a grand sacrifice had already begun.
On the altar, all kinds of sacrificial offerings were laid out.
Youchao-shi and Zhiyishi led many Humans, solemnly kowtowing and praying to the statue of Nuwa, reporting the events that had occurred in the Zhushan Tribe to Nuwa.
In Wahuang Palace.
"Little Sister, you summoned me here, for what reason?"
Fuxi arrived before Nuwa, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
Nuwa smiled slightly and said, "Elder Brother, I have already learned how Senior Brother Taiqing is preaching among the Human Race!"
It turned out that after learning from the Human side that Lu Yun was about to preach in the Zhushan Tribe, Nuwa combined this with her previous deductions and immediately concluded that the person who was to preach to the Human Race must be a disciple of the Ren Sect!
Especially after she performed a slight calculation and found that the background of "Lu Yun" was like a fog, which even she could not calculate, she became even more convinced of this point.
Because in the Great Desolation, apart from the Dao Ancestor, only other Saints could achieve this!
At this moment, she also briefly recounted the news sent up from the Human ancestral land to Fuxi.
Fuxi said in surprise, "I never expected that the Taiqing Saint would use this method to preach among the Human Race!"
Subsequently, Fuxi became somewhat puzzled again: "Since the Taiqing Saint wants to send a disciple to preach to the Human Race, why not do it at Shouyang Mountain, the ancestral land of the Human Race, but instead run to that remote little tribe?"
Nuwa shook her head gently and said, "I do not know either. Why don't you and I take a look together at how that so-called Zhushan Tribe is?"
Fuxi nodded.
Immediately, Nuwa cast a Supernatural Power, directly manifesting the situation of the Zhushan Tribe! Just by taking one look at the Zhushan Tribe, a smile appeared on Nuwa's face.
"It seems Eldest Senior Brother indeed attaches great importance to this matter, as he went there personally, and even brought along Senior Brothers Yuanshi and Tongtian!"
But subsequently, a look of shock and suspicion appeared on her face: "Strange, why is Houtu also in the Zhushan Tribe?"
Hearing this, Fuxi also noticed Houtu inside that out-of-place Stone Palace within the Zhushan Tribe.
Furthermore, he naturally also noticed quite a few of the Wu Clan in the Zhushan Tribe.
He could not help but frown and said, "Could the Wu Clan be planning to disrupt this preaching to the Human Race!"
Because he was the Xi Emperor of the Demon Race, Fuxi did not have any good feelings toward the Wu Clan.
Nuwa shook her head and said, "No, the Wu Clan and the Human Race have never had any conflict. Moreover, according to what the Humans said, that Lu Yun was even sent to the Zhushan Tribe by a group of the Wu Clan. It is just that I did not expect Houtu to be among them!"
Fuxi became even more suspicious and said, "Could the Wu Clan have some scheme?"
Nuwa wanted to say no, but she inexplicably felt that something seemed wrong.
Especially since she also knew that Baize had just appeared at the Human ancestral land and personally escorted a group of Humans to the Zhushan Tribe, which made her feel even more puzzled.
Just at this moment, she suddenly felt something in her heart, and with a wave of her hand, another phantom image appeared before Fuxi.
When Fuxi looked, he realized that this was actually revealing the Demon Heavenly Court.
He was just about to ask Nuwa why she was investigating the Heavenly Court, but was surprised to find that within the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Di Jun and other high-level members of the Demon Race were gathered together, seemingly discussing something!...
In the Heavenly Court.
The Demon Master Kunpeng hurried to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. At this moment, quite a few high-level members of the Demon Race had already gathered in the great hall, watching a magical phantom image.
Kunpeng immediately realized the situation was urgent, quickly walked into the hall, and bowed to Di Jun and Taiyi: "Greetings, Your Majesty Demon Emperor, Your Majesty Eastern Emperor!"
"Demon Master, no need for formalities!"
Di Jun smiled slightly and said, "Everyone has been waiting for you!"
Kunpeng asked curiously, "I do not know why the Demon Emperor has summoned me so urgently, for what reason?"
Because the matter was of great importance, when Baize had his subordinates notify Kunpeng, he did not specify exactly what it was to prevent the news from leaking; he only had the subordinates tell Kunpeng that the matter was of great importance and to have him head to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall immediately.
That is why Kunpeng was so puzzled at this moment.
Di Jun smiled and said, "The reason I summoned you here urgently is because we have discovered an excellent opportunity to annihilate the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng could not help but be greatly shocked, and he hurriedly asked for the specific reasons.
Di Jun had several Demon Saints briefly explain to him what had happened previously, and Kunpeng's eyes shone with excitement as he listened.
"To think that a mere member of the Human Race could trigger such a change in the situation!"
Kunpeng could not help but exclaim, "In that case, this is indeed an excellent opportunity to annihilate the Wu Clan!"
The Demon Saints around them were also incredibly excited at this moment, secretly rubbing their hands in anticipation!
Ever since the first great war between the Wu Clan and the Demon Race, where both sides fought until the heavens and earth were turned upside down, the Demon Race had nearly suffered heavy casualties because of the Wu Clan's Dutian Shensha Array. Eventually, the Dao Ancestor decreed that the Demon Race should rule the heavens and the Wu Clan should rule the earth, leaving everyone in the Demon Race feeling stifled.
Now, they had finally found an opportunity to take revenge!
This time, they would absolutely make the Wu Clan pay a painful price!
Kunpeng looked around, and not seeing Fuxi, he asked with some confusion, "Your Majesty Demon Emperor, why do I not see the Xi Emperor?"
Di Jun was silent for a moment before saying, "Since this matter involves scheming against the Human Race, it is better if the Xi Emperor does not know."
Kunpeng thought about it and could not help but nod.
That was true!
If Fuxi knew, he likely would not let them do this.
After all, the Human Race was created by his sister Nuwa and was quite special; he could not possibly watch Di Jun and the others scheme against them.
If he were to turn around and tell Nuwa, wouldn't that create a conflict between the Demon Race and Nuwa? It was better this way; even if Nuwa held them accountable later, they could pretend to be ignorant and find a way to muddle through.
What they did not know was that everything happening inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was already being seen clearly by Nuwa and Fuxi.
"This Di Jun, what great audacity!"
Nuwa's willow-leaf eyebrows stood on end, and a look of anger appeared on her face.
When a Saint is angry, the heavens and earth change color!
Around the entire Wahuang Palace, thunder suddenly rolled, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction that startled many of the maids inside the Wahuang Palace.
Fuxi was also startled by Nuwa.
In truth, he was very disappointed by the actions of Di Jun and the others at this time.
But he still tried to appease Nuwa, saying, "Little sister, Di Jun and the others are just eager to take revenge on the Wu Clan. Moreover, the specific details of this matter are not yet clear. Shall we wait and see?"
Nuwa gradually calmed her anger.
Indeed.
The current situation was very strange.
It left her heart filled with doubts, and for a moment, she could not quite understand it.
Especially regarding the speculation by Di Jun and the others that Lu Yun's cultivation technique came from the Wu Clan, she was even more skeptical.
Not to mention whether the Wu Clan could do such a thing, if the Wu Clan really wanted to do something like this, Houtu should have greeted her in advance!
But with Laozi sending disciples to take on apprentices at this time, and going there himself, while also bringing Tongtian and Yuanshi along, she could not help but wonder if it was really as Di Jun and the others guessed? She had originally thought that Laozi was finally going to preach to the Human Race and that the Human Race was about to flourish, but who would have thought that things would become so complicated!
A tiny Human Race had actually become the target of schemes by the Wu Clan, the Demon Race, and the Three Pure Ones?
Nuwa could not help but feel some worry.
Just at this moment, she saw Baize bringing Suirenshi and the others from the Human Race to the vicinity of the Zhushan Tribe! Seeing Baize, Nuwa's expression sank.
Previously, when she learned from the Human Race that Baize had helped Suirenshi and the others, she had felt a bit more favorably toward Baize.
She had not expected that the truth was actually to scheme against the Human Race!
At this moment, the favor Nuwa felt for Baize in her heart naturally turned entirely into disgust!
Nuwa could not help but sneer, "Brother, I am going to the Zhushan Tribe myself! I want to see how else Di Jun and the others intend to perform!"
After speaking, she flashed and left the Wahuang Palace.
Fuxi naturally hurried to catch up, his expression equally ugly.
Originally, when Di Jun persuaded them to join the Demon Race, Nuwa had not intended to get involved with the Demon Race, but she was eventually persuaded by him.
Who would have thought that Di Jun and the others would turn into this!
This made Fuxi feel a sense of guilt toward Nuwa, and at the same time, he began to feel disgust toward Di Jun and the others.
After all, no one likes to be deceived!
Fuxi thought to himself: I hope Di Jun and the others do not go too far this time; otherwise, I will no longer serve as the Xi Emperor of the Demon Race!
