Regarding this matter—
East King Duke felt more and more displeased the more he thought about it!
Because he believed that in every respect, he was not the slightest bit inferior to the three Golden Crows on the Sun Star!
He was even the Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial World!
So logically speaking, this position of Demon Emperor should have been his!
Only...
East King Duke also knew—
Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao had already issued their decree. Spilled water could not be taken back.
No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only swallow it down.
He snorted coldly.
He thought to himself, "No matter what, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has appointed me Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial World. That matter is already settled."
"My status in the Primordial Wilderness is still extremely lofty."
"As for those three Golden Crows on the Sun Star, they have only just begun!"
"While I, East King Duke, am already far ahead of them!"
"As long as I establish the Immortal Court first, they will never catch up to me!"
"Besides, I am the Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial World. Aren't those three brothers all male?"
"Heh heh heh, they will still have to be under my management in the future!"
East King Duke continued pondering inwardly.
And after thinking that way, his mood immediately improved considerably.
Of course.
Those who truly knew the inside story—
Such as the Diary Owners who possessed Xuan Yang's Diary Instances...
They did not see it that way.
Precisely because they all possessed Xuan Yang's Diary Instances,
every one of them understood Xuan Yang's thoughts very clearly.
If it were Xuan Yang—
Not only would he not feel the slightest bit happy over this appointment by Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao,
he would even find it a headache!
Because the Diary Owners who had read Xuan Yang's Diary all knew very well
that Xuan Yang had always been extremely resistant to establishing the Demon Race and becoming the master of the Demon Court!
Moreover, although this matter appeared to be a cushy position, dangerous undercurrents flowed beneath the surface, and it was fraught with peril!
That was why Xuan Yang had never wanted to do it before.
He had always avoided such matters.
Unfortunately...
It had still happened.
Nuwa: "Is this the Heavenly Dao's correction that Daoist Friend Xuan Yang wrote about in his diary before?"
"Minor trends in the Primordial Wilderness can be changed, but major trends cannot."
"Because if the major trend changes, it will no longer serve the interests of the top experts in the Primordial Wilderness."
"Such as Old Ancestor Hongjun, such as the Heavenly Dao..."
"So they will certainly stop at nothing to carry out this so-called 'major trend correction.'"
"Just like this incident. I believe that in the 'original Primordial Wilderness,' this would not have happened either..."
West King Mother also sensed the deep malice of the Heavenly Dao and Old Ancestor Hongjun.
She sighed inwardly. "So... how exactly will Daoist Friend Xuan Yang deal with this?"
"Faced with such a severe situation, can he resolve this trouble?"
Zhen Yuanzi directly prepared to check the diary.
Unfortunately, after looking through it, he discovered that the latest diary had not yet been updated.
The most recent entry was still yesterday's.
So if they wanted to know Xuan Yang's thoughts on this matter, they would have to patiently wait for him to update the diary.
"However..."
Zhen Yuanzi transmitted his voice to Hongyun. "This matter can also be considered a test for Daoist Friend Xuan Yang."
Hongyun raised a brow. "Daoist Friend Zhen Yuanzi, what do you mean?"
Zhen Yuanzi replied, "Although I do not know whether Daoist Friend Hongyun's death tribulation is a minor trend or a major trend in the Primordial Wilderness..."
"But presumably, if Daoist Friend Xuan Yang can resolve even this matter, then he should be able to easily defuse your trouble as well, Daoist Friend Hongyun?"
Hongyun nodded.
Zhen Yuanzi transmitted his voice again. "If Daoist Friend Xuan Yang can resolve even this sort of matter..."
"Then in the future, we truly must increase our investment."
"We must befriend Daoist Friend Xuan Yang at any cost."
Hongyun replied, "Indeed. Then let us wait and watch the show."
Meanwhile.
Tongtian was similarly filled with emotion.
He also hoped Xuan Yang could overcome this ordeal.
After all, he had no grievance against Xuan Yang. On the contrary, Xuan Yang had helped him greatly.
He had always remembered that kindness, so he silently prayed for Xuan Yang in his heart.
But Grand Pure Laozi and Primordial Lord of Heaven beside him did not have so many thoughts.
They actually did not care much about the decree.
Because all their attention was focused on "Slaying the Three Corpses."
Thus, while everyone else in Purple Cloud Palace was passionately discussing the matter, Grand Pure Laozi and the Primordial Lord of Heaven only found them somewhat noisy.
They wanted to return to Kunlun Mountain immediately and begin cultivating "Slaying the Three Corpses."
"I'd better persuade them after we return."
Tongtian thought it over and felt that it was not appropriate to persuade them here.
After all, there were too many people watching.
If he tried to persuade his two elder brothers here, would that not make Old Ancestor Hongjun's secret of "Slaying the Three Corpses" known to everyone?
Then Tongtian would truly offend Old Ancestor Hongjun to the death!
He was not a fool, so naturally he would not do something so foolish.
Thus, Tongtian planned to return to Kunlun Mountain together with his two elder brothers.
Houtu was equally anxious.
She truly hated Old Ancestor Hongjun to the core.
Because this time, Old Ancestor Hongjun had forcibly "corrected the major trend."
Originally, under Xuan Yang's guidance, the situation had been excellent.
The war between the Witch Tribe and Demon Race had been on the verge of disappearing.
Yet Old Ancestor Hongjun had pulled this stunt.
Thus, Houtu only wanted to return to the Witch Tribe immediately, assess the situation, and then consider a response.
She hurried toward the exit of Purple Cloud Palace, but unexpectedly discovered that Zhunti and Jieyin were walking ahead of her.
Her mood instantly worsened even further.
They continued walking forward, while the other cultivators in Purple Cloud Palace also began heading outside.
Finally!
They saw the two gatekeeping attendants, Haotian and Yaochi.
At their signal, everyone left Purple Cloud Palace.
Haotian and Yaochi closed the gates of Purple Cloud Palace once more.
But at that very moment, waves of powerful Malevolent Qi surged forth from the distance.
Then, eleven Ancestral Witches brimming with Malevolent Qi appeared before everyone like fiendish gods.
The cultivators first showed expressions of astonishment.
After all, they could not understand why the Ancestral Witches, who had not come when Old Ancestor Hongjun gave his sermon, had arrived only after his sermon ended.
But very soon, the cultivators saw Houtu step forward.
Her expression was initially somewhat surprised, but a sly smile soon appeared on her face.
She chattered into the ears of the other eleven Ancestral Witches, though no one knew what she said.
Then each Ancestral Witch's expression immediately turned ugly, and their auras became increasingly frenzied.
Led by Di Jiang, the Eleven Ancestral Witches suddenly looked toward Zhunti and Jieyin in the crowd, and an angry voice rang out:
"You two bald donkeys, our little sister says you bullied her inside Purple Cloud Palace?"
Zhunti and Jieyin were instantly dumbfounded!
