Winning Kunpeng Over
Through this battle, they realized the difference between Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal and a Sage.
Although sages are entrusted with the Dao of Heaven and are immortal, the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal should not be underestimated.
In one-on-one combat, or battles within the same realm, the Hunyuan Grand Unity is virtually invincible.
Hong Yun, Law Proving the Dao, is even more troublesome. If she can't beat them, she'll run away. If the four of them hadn't attacked together, Hong Yun would have truly escaped.
"That scoundrel Hong Yun has become a major threat."
Yuanshi spoke first, his voice laced with barely suppressed killing intent.
She always valued the order of nature and acted in accordance with it, but the existence of Hong Yun was itself the greatest mockery of that order.
Laozi Tzu closed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "She Law Proving the Dao Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal by using the laws of space. Although she is not a saint, her strength is no less than ours."
What's even more troublesome is that she has an extremely good relationship with those Twelve Ancestral Witches. If we forcefully intervene, the Witch Clan will surely send out their entire force.
"If the great calamity is triggered prematurely, and due to the karmic consequences, our Saint Position will also be in danger of being shaken."
Jieyin sighed deeply, "If Hong Yun doesn't die, we won't be at peace."
That Primordial Violet Qi was predetermined by the Heavenly Dao. She obtained it, then relinquished it, Proving the Dao by Force. She was already an anomaly among anomalies. If left to develop unchecked, the future would be full of uncertainties."
"What Senior Sister says is absolutely right."
Zhunti nodded in agreement, "A head-on confrontation is not a good strategy. The Witch Clan is currently extremely arrogant, which is a major concern for us. Hong Yun has allied with the Witch Clan. To break this deadlock, we need to leverage their strength."
The four people exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's feelings.
On the vast Primordial World land, the only race capable of directly confronting the Witch Clan is the Demon Clan.
Laozi slowly said, "The great calamity of the Lich King is ordained by Heaven. We only need to go with the flow and find a glimmer of hope in the chaos to eliminate the Hong Yun."
Laozi and Yuanshi each had their own plans. Yuanshi looked down on the demon race and often spoke of them as creatures born from moisture and eggs, Laozi also disapproved of.
Now that they have attained Saint Position, the demon race is dispensable, and they even want to break away from the demon race as soon as possible to avoid the karmic consequences of the great calamity.
With their plan settled, the four of them didn't delay any longer. Their figures vanished from the Yuqing Palace in an instant, and the next moment, they had already descended upon the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
Outside the South Heaven Gate, auspicious clouds swirl and countless streams of propitious energy emanate.
The arrival of the Four Saints shook the entire Heavenly Court.
Before they could even enter, a figure radiating golden light and exuding unparalleled majesty appeared—it was Di Jun.
"The presence of four fellow Daoists is an honor to our humble Heavenly Court."
Di Jun's voice was cold and aloof; though it was a polite remark, it lacked any warmth.
She was very cautious about Laozi Yuanshi, as the Two Pure Ones were no less powerful than herself and Taiyi.
Most importantly, she was very dissatisfied with Laozi's actions. After the demon race established their religion and became saints, Laozi stopped caring about the demon race and spent most of his time with Yuanshi.
Isn't this just using her demon race to become a saint? If it weren't for Hongjun's intentions, she would have already turned against Laozi.
"Fellow Di Jun, you are too kind." Laozi bowed slightly, his smile warm.
The four followed Di Jun into the main hall.
Zhunti's keen eyes noticed that there was another figure standing beside Di Jun.
It was a man dressed in a black Daoist robe with gold patterns. He had a handsome face and a temperament that was seven or eight parts similar to that of Di Jun. He also had an innate arrogance and passion. He was none other than the Male Di Jun.
What alarmed Zhunti even more was that the man's aura also faintly revealed the primordial power of the Solar True Fire. Although it was not as vast as that of Di Jun, it was still extremely pure.
"Di Jun, may I ask who this gentleman is?" Zhunti couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
Following his gaze, Di Jun introduced him casually, "This is our demon race's newly promoted Demon Saint, whose Daoist name is Lu Ya."
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, seeing doubt in each other's eyes.
They recognized most of the powerful beings from the Primordial World, but they had never heard of Lu Ya before.
Moreover, why is its aura so similar to that of Di Jun? It's as if they share the same origin.
Seemingly sensing their doubts, Di Jun explained, "Fellow Lu Ya possesses extraordinary talent and has a deep connection with my Golden Crow lineage."
I admired his talent, so I shared some of my essence with him to help him cultivate. Now he is a high-ranking member of my demon race."
Di Jun naturally concealed the Male Di Jun's name, as she didn't want to be discovered by everyone and cause a sudden change in her plan.
Therefore, Di Jun had to make up a name to hide his identity Male Di Jun.
Since it concerned the survival of the demon race, she had to treat it with caution.
"I see, fellow Daoist, you truly have excellent methods."
Jieyin a word of praise, but inwardly he remained wary.
To dedicate oneself to nurturing others demonstrates the extraordinary courage and skill required to achieve this.
The crowd stopped worrying about Lu Ya's identity.
Di Jun cut to the chase, asking, "What brings you four fellow Daoists here today?"
Yuanshi looked at Di Jun and said in a deep voice, "The Wu and Yao races are sworn enemies. We have come here to ask you, Fellow Daoist, how are your preparations for the great war against the Witch Clan progressing?"
Mentioning the Witch Clan, Di Jun's eyes instantly flashed with boundless hatred and killing intent. He coldly snorted, "I am currently gathering all the demons in the world to rebuild the demon army. Soon, I will send troops to fight those barbarians to the death!"
"Good!"
Laozi clapped his hands and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, your determination is truly a blessing for the Primordial World."
"We have come here today to tell you, fellow Daoist, that if you attack the Witch Clan, we will certainly assist you in secret."
Di Jun's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he immediately stood up, bowing respectfully to the four. "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoists!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Yuanshi changed the subject and got to the point. "Besides that, there is another matter that I need to discuss with you, fellow Daoist."
Hong Yun has now gained considerable power and is colluding with the Witch Clan, making them our common enemy.
To deal with her, there is one person who is indispensable, and that is Fellow Kunpeng. I wonder if you could step forward and negotiate with Fellow Kunpeng?"
"Kunpeng!"
These two moments ignited Di Jun's fury, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from her body.
"That traitor!"
Di Jun gritted his teeth, his phoenix eyes bloodshot. "You actually want me to discuss this with him? What right does she have!"
Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Is there perhaps some misunderstanding?"
Although Kunpeng's character is flawed, its speed is unparalleled in the Primordial World, making it the best choice to deal with Hong Yun's spatial abilities.
"Misunderstand?
My ten poor daughters... were tricked out by her, and that's why they were shot dead one by one by that Da Yi!
If she hadn't tricked them into thinking the Primordial World land was interesting and encouraged them to go out on their own, they wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate!
Upon hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi were shocked. They only knew that ten golden crows had fallen, but they did not know that Kunpeng was among them.
For a moment, all they could do was offer words of comfort, "Fellow Daoist, please accept our condolences. This matter is indeed Kunpeng's fault."
But now that a great war between the two races is imminent, I urge you, fellow Daoist, to prioritize the greater good and not let petty matters cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture, lest you antagonize Kunpeng and become a laughingstock for the Witch Clan."
Jieyin and Zhunti remained silent, secretly realizing the situation was bad.
The death of Jinwu was inextricably linked to them.
Judging from Di Jun's furious expression, if she were to find out that it was the two of them who instigated Kunpeng, their Western Religion would be in grave danger.
If it were Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, or Taiyi, who had not yet become saints, then so be it.
However, having already attained Saint Position, they would be in trouble if they attacked the Western Religion.
Di Jun's chest heaved violently, but he forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart.
Seeing that her attitude had softened, Jieyin suggested, "Since that's the case, why don't we act as intermediaries and accompany you to Northern Darkness to repair your relationship with Kunpeng?"
It's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. For the sake of the demon race's great cause, I hope you can temporarily set aside these personal grudges, fellow Daoist."
Everyone immediately agreed.
Di Jun also understood that no matter how much she hated Kunpeng, she did indeed need Kunpeng's power to avenge her daughters.
Immediately, each with their own thoughts, they transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the Northern Darkness...
