Chapter 78: The Suspicious High-Ranking Demon Race! This Human is Too Cunning!

How did the Sun Star Banner fall into the hands of Lu Yun!

This question plunged the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall into a deathly silence.

Without a doubt, it was impossible for Lu Yun himself to obtain the Sun Star Banner on his own.

After all, his development from a mere mortal to his current status as a Mysterious Immortal had taken place almost entirely under the eyes of the Demon Race.

And even as a Mysterious Immortal, it would be impossible for him to enter the Sun Star! The temperature on that Sun Star is extremely terrifying; even for a Golden Immortal, entering it is very difficult.

Not to mention that it is guarded by a Great Array; without permission, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not force their way in! Let alone breaking in without anyone noticing and stealing the Sun Star Banner! Then, who else could have stolen the Sun Star Banner and given it to Lu Yun? Kunpeng suddenly said, "Could it be those Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

The many high-ranking members of the Demon Race present thought of this first.

After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have always been hostile to their Demon Race, and now that they are so close to Lu Yun, they are indeed the most suspicious! But neither Di Jun nor Taiyi nodded.

"Impossible!"

Taiyi said in a deep voice, "If those Twelve Ancestral Witches could enter the Sun Star without us noticing, I fear they would have already attacked the Heavenly Court and wiped out our Demon Race directly!"

Kunpeng then said, "But besides the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who else could it be?"

Everyone fell into silence again.

Besides the Twelve Ancestral Witches, there are actually quite a few others who could do this!

For example, the various Saints of the Great Desolation!

With the abilities of a Saint, if they really wanted to do this, Di Jun and Taiyi might not necessarily be able to discover it!

It is just that, for a moment, no one could figure out which Saint did it.

Because they also could not imagine which Saint would possibly do such a thing.

Could it be Nuwa? Does she want to take the opportunity to warn the Demon Race not to continue plotting against the Human Race?

Or is it that another Saint did this on purpose, attempting to destroy the relationship between their Demon Race and Nuwa? And besides the Saints, that only leaves the high-ranking Demon Race members present here! Because only they have access to the Sun Star and have the opportunity to quietly take the Sun Star Banner! Other Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Great Desolation probably do not even know that the Demon Race refined the Zhou Tian Star Banner, so how could they come to steal it?

However, if there really is a traitor among the high-ranking Demon Race members...

Then the situation would be even more serious than if a Saint had secretly attacked them! For a time, the Demon Saints present scanned each other, all secretly guessing who it could be. And just as the high-ranking Demon Race members were mutually suspicious, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the phantom image, instantly attracting their attention.

"Hahaha..."

Di Jun and the others turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Guangchengzi who could not help but speak again.

He looked at Lu Yun with contempt and said, "Think of me, Guangchengzi, whose origin is a wisp of Innate Purple Qi, an Innate Sacred, yet after cultivating for countless years, I am still only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and I dare not even hope to independently prove the Dao and become a Saint! And you... hehe, a mere Acquired Human, you dare to be so boastful? It is simply ridiculous!"

These words spread throughout the entire Zhushan Tribe, causing strange expressions to appear on the faces of many humans nearby.

Without a doubt, such words from Guangchengzi were very harsh, but at the same time, everyone had to admit that what he said was not wrong.

Yet, facing such mockery from Guangchengzi, Lu Yun was very calm.

Because he had long guessed that such a situation would occur.

He just smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, a ridiculous person like me should not be suitable to join the Ren Sect. Why don't you Immortal Elders please return?"

The smile on Guangchengzi's face froze instantly, and for a moment, he did not even know how to respond to Lu Yun's words.

He even looked at Xuandu and Duobao in a loss.

Because he suddenly thought, if he inadvertently ruined the Grand Senior Brother's plan, would it bring him big trouble?

Duobao, on the other hand, looked at Lu Yun in astonishment, a thought appearing in his mind: Could it be that this human is deliberately using this method to find a logical excuse to refuse the Grand Senior Brother's offer to take him as a disciple?

This is too cunning! Xuandu was also in a difficult position at this moment.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said helplessly, "This poor Daoist understands your intentions and will report the truth to my Master later. You can also consider it carefully again!"

He did not say that the Ren Sect was giving up on taking Lu Yun as a disciple; he only said he would report to his Master, so that even if Laozi had other ideas, it would be convenient to implement them.

Lu Yun naturally understood his meaning and even felt that Xuandu did not want him to stand in opposition to the Ren Sect and invite any disaster.

Lu Yun felt this was fine; at least the two sides had not completely torn their faces, which would be more convenient for what he planned to do next! Even if he were to become an enemy of the Ren Sect, he would have to wait until he finished preaching the Dao, right?

Therefore, Lu Yun cupped his hands at Xuandu and said, "Many thanks for your understanding, Immortal Elder Xuandu! Since you have all come from afar, why not stay in our Human Race for a few more days, so that we may properly entertain you?"

Hearing this, Guangchengzi wanted to refuse directly without even thinking.

But Duobao pulled him back and looked at Lu Yun happily, saying, "Then we shall intrude!"

Xuandu thought for a moment and also nodded, indicating he would stay for the time being.

Seeing this, Guangchengzi naturally had no choice but to choose to stay for now.

Lu Yun smiled and said to the humans of the Zhushan Tribe not far away, "Tribal Chief Dashan, please invite the three Immortal Elders to take their seats!"

"Yes!" Tribal Chief Dashan stepped out directly and solemnly invited Xuandu and the other two to sit nearby.

After settling Duobao and the others, Dashan brought Suirenshi and a group of people to Lu Yun, introducing him to Suirenshi and the others.

Lu Yun bowed and said, "Lu Yun, pays respects to all the human predecessors!"

"No need for such formalities!"

Suirenshi hurriedly helped him up.

At the same time, Suirenshi secretly transmitted his voice: "Lu Yun, you... why don't you stop preaching the Dao for now!"

Although he was looking forward to Lu Yun preaching to the Human Race and making them stronger, he could clearly feel that the situation was not right now.

If Lu Yun insisted on continuing to preach, he feared it might not succeed and could instead bring trouble upon himself! Therefore, he would rather Lu Yun not preach for now and find another opportunity later.

This concern of his made Lu Yun's heart feel warm.

However, Lu Yun smiled slightly and transmitted back: "Suiren Ancestor, please rest assured, I have my own plans!"

Suirenshi opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything more.

Just then, Baize suddenly walked toward Lu Yun.

Lu Yun's gaze fell on Baize instantly, and his heart became vigilant.

He felt that the other party's aura was terrifying.

Although the other party looked smiling, Lu Yun could feel that there was clear hostility toward him.

However, thinking that Houtu was still by his side, he became much calmer.

With a smile on his face, he looked toward Baize and asked, "May I ask, how should I address this Immortal Elder?"

Suirenshi hurriedly introduced him to Lu Yun, saying, "Lu Yun, this is the Demon Saint Baize of the Demon Race. We were able to arrive here in time this time, all thanks to his help!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun suddenly realized, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "So it is Demon Saint Baize! My apologies, my apologies!"

As he spoke, he thought to himself: No wonder this guy's aura is so terrifying, and he even has hostility toward me!

Lu Yun couldn't help but guess: Could it be that he came over now to question me about the matter of the solar power? Obviously, Lu Yun also knew what kind of commotion his previous cultivation had caused, so naturally, he made this association.

In fact, when others saw Baize's actions at this moment, they also had the same conjecture as Lu Yun.

However, after Baize arrived in front of Lu Yun and looked him up and down, he did not have the slightest intention of making trouble or questioning Lu Yun.

On the contrary, he just smiled and said, "Human youth, you are very good! I heard that not only have you comprehended a method of cultivation yourself, but you also intend to spread the Dao to the Human Race and help the entire Human Race grow?"

Houtu, who had been very calm on the side, could not help but narrow her eyes slightly.

This Baize is indeed as cunning as ever! He must be very curious about the previous matter of the solar power, but he doesn't ask about it at all; instead, he directly wants to bring up the matter of Lu Yun preparing to spread the Dao to the Human Race!

In this way, it would be difficult for Lu Yun to change his mind now!

Otherwise, such inconsistent behavior would definitely cause Lu Yun's prestige among the Human Race to plummet!

However, Houtu did not offer any reminders; she just looked at Lu Yun, wanting to see how he would respond.

Lu Yun naturally understood Baize's intention, but he didn't care at all, and without even thinking, he said directly, "Demon Saint Baize is right; that is exactly my intention! That is why I specifically invited the sages of the ancestral land to come and witness it together!"

A flash of surprise crossed Baize's eyes.

This human... I clearly felt he was very cunning just now, why is he suddenly acting stupid now?

Or is it that he has some confidence? Even in front of the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, he is not afraid of letting people know that he wants to spread the Dao to the Human Race?!

As his thoughts raced, a more brilliant smile appeared on Baize's face, and he said, "Good! To be able to witness such a grand event with my own eyes is indeed a great pleasure! I wonder, when do you plan to start?"

He could not wait to see if Lu Yun really had the courage to dare to spread the Dao to the Human Race under such circumstances! Lu Yun smiled and said, "Since Demon Saint Baize is so enthusiastic, why don't we start now!"

Baize looked at him deeply and smiled, "Then this Demon Saint shall wait and see!"

After speaking, he turned around directly, returned to the table where he had been sitting, and sat down, waiting leisurely to see how Lu Yun would spread the Dao.

At the same time, Lu Yun also clearly felt that the gazes from all directions had become even sharper.

He did not care, however, and immediately prepared to begin spreading the Dao.

But just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from afar: "How could such a grand event be missing us!"
