A Storm of Trouble
Upon hearing Laozi's words, Di Jun's breathing became heavier.
That statement contains a truly vast amount of information!
It's practically a blatant statement that the Taiqing Saint, the head of the Three Pure Ones, will join their Demon Race and become Demon Race strongest shield!
Under Di Jun's incredulous gaze, Laozi calmly reached out and stroked his beard.
Taiyi still retained some rationality.
After all, this Laozi Tzu is Sage!
They were already being too proud to call him "senior brother".
Now he even wants to take up residence in their Heavenly Court...
This has already put Taiyi on his guard!
"Senior Brother Taiqing, is there anything you need?"
It's better to clarify these things as soon as possible.
To avoid any unexpected problems arising later.
Laozi simply smiled calmly at Taiyi's wary attitude.
He then continued speaking.
"I have come here on my teacher's orders!"
What followed was much smoother and less complicated.
Laozi, who came on the orders of the Dao Ancestor, was naturally regarded as an honored guest.
And Di Jun had no intention of keeping the Demon Race in hiding any longer!
Although Houtu of the Witch Clan possessed cultivation levels comparable to those of Sage, Laozi was the true Sage!
With a true Sage presiding over the Heavenly Court, is it still necessary for it to continue to be restrained?
On that very day, the Demon Race ceased its lurking.
The flames of war were once again ignited on the Primordial World!
News of the Demon Race's action quickly spread Primordial World.
On a beach on the Eastern Sea Shore.
A Daoist priest dressed in a green robe and carrying the Qingping Sword casually unleashed Daoist Arts, and the demonic beast that was about to attack was slain by him!
Upon hearing the news of the Demon Race's major actions and that Laozi had already joined the Demon Race, Tongtian's originally calm expression instantly turned quite ugly.
He could still recall the various treacherous schemes that had been devised during the meeting at the Zixiao Palace.
Tongtian genuinely didn't understand these people who were trying so hard to scheme against him.
They already possess the strength to stand at the top of the Primordial World, yet they still insist on scheming and plotting.
Unable to bear those things any longer, Tongtian readily followed his heart and came to the Eastern Sea Shore.
The East Sea is often shrouded in thick fog.
Tongtian looked towards the depths of the East Sea, where a faint connection seemed to be calling to him.
After thinking about those troubling matters, Tongtian followed that connection and headed towards the East Sea.
Let him see for himself what exactly lies deep within the East Sea!
Longevity Mountain, inside Wuzhuang Temple.
Hong Yun had already become much more accepting of things after being surrounded and attacked.
To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate.
These eight characters are also frequently on his lips.
Even so, upon hearing that Laozi was in charge of the Demon Race, he was so surprised that he almost lost his composure!
"Why?"
All the words I wanted to say finally condensed into these three words.
Why?
He doesn't understand?
You must understand that Laozi was an unparalleled being who had already achieved the Sage Fruit Position.
Why did you suddenly decide to join the Demon Race?
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, his fingers stroking the teacup.
"Let alone you, even I, this humble Daoist priest, do not understand what exactly happened."
After Laozi joined, the arrogance of the Demon Race burned uncontrollably.
The sheer volume of karma involved was enough to terrify even them.
However, they are not Sage, so they can only speculate about this.
Hong Yun's mind was already preoccupied with this matter; he racked his brains trying to figure out what the connection was.
After all, the involvement of Sage would have far too many implications!
After a long while, Hong Yun paused in his contemplation, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Zhen Yuanzi, do you think it's possible that it's because of Senior Fuxi?"
They all saw Laozi fall backwards during the second sermon at the Zixiao Palace.
He was also shouting, "Fuxi stole my opportunity!"
Losing this opportunity is no small matter!
Moreover, Hong Yun had heard rumors that Fuxi had taken away Laozi's opportunities more than once.
In any case, there is no doubt that there was something between Laozi, the first of the Three Pure Ones, and Fuxi.
But just because of these reasons, they threw themselves into it, and their fame spread throughout the Primordial World.
This is really strange no matter how you look at it.
Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly and said.
"You don't need to worry about these things that are irrelevant to you; what you should be doing is focusing on your cultivation."
"Do not make unfounded statements!"
To speak ill of Sages is not something they can do.
In the Western Paradise, atop Mount Sumeru.
Compared to the previous barren landscape, this scene, brimming with spiritual energy, is much better.
In the place where the Sage, golden lotuses bloom in abundance in the pond.
The yellow gauze curtains were blown up by the wind, revealing the two Sage sitting behind them.
Seated on the lotus platform, though his face was expressionless, he seemed to be smiling Jieyin people, his eyes gleaming with divine light.
He looked at Zhunti beside him and spoke.
"Junior brother, have you heard about what's happening with the Demon Race?"
Zhunti nodded, his sorrowful expression carrying a strangely alluring charm that commanded trust.
"Of course, that was quite a commotion, really."
After the Demon Race went into hiding, the Witch Clan also occupied many of the Demon Race's territories.
However, after news spread that the Taiqing Saint was in charge of the Heavenly Court, the Demon Race's actions became absolutely frantic.
Completely fearless, they encountered the warlike Witch Clan.
It was like a thunderbolt striking a raging fire; the scene on the battlefield was simply unbearable to watch!
The demon and witch races, their faces contorted with madness, clashed together, unleashing a multitude of supernatural powers and techniques!
The flying Dao Artifacts reaped the heads of enemies one by one, and the next second, the owners of the Dao Artifacts died in the enemy's siege!
By the time that battle was over, the ground was littered with corpses, and almost no one made it off the battlefield alive!
The Demon Race's performance in the war naturally attracted the attention of many powerful beings in the Primordial World.
This includes Jieyin and Zhunti.
Recalling the scene he had witnessed, a look of compassion appeared on Jieyin's face.
He nodded slightly and said.
"That Demon Race's behavior was indeed extremely insane."
"However, it seems that although they are making frequent moves, they are still exercising some restraint."
Zhunti, Zhunti agreed.
"Senior brother is right."
"Those who dared to fight were only the demon kings under his command; the Demon Saints only made a few moves."
Not to mention the three major fighting forces of the Demon Race.
The Demon Emperor Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Demon Master Kunpeng.
These three have never made a move!
In contrast, the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan remained silent.
As if by unspoken agreement, neither side's top combatants joined the war that swept across the Primordial World!
The consequences of not including those who could make the final decision are already evident.
The battle lines between the Witch-Demon are stretching ever longer, and the war seems to have no end in sight!
Thinking of this, Zhunti said with a look of pity.
"Since they are unwilling to hasten the end of the Tribulation, then this humble Daoist does not mind taking action for the sake of all living beings in the Primordial World!"
