Only...
At this very moment...
Facing the gazes everyone cast his way, Xuan Yang did not respond immediately.
He was still calculating and deducing within his mind, intending to work out a suitable way to handle the situation...
Thus, Xuan Yang had no time to respond to the others right now.
But Di Jun, Taiyi, Nuwa, and Fuxi all understood.
Although every one of them felt extremely anxious inside at this moment...
They also knew that they could not disturb Xuan Yang at a time like this.
Therefore, they all calmed themselves and waited silently.
Finally, Xuan Yang's eyes lit up. "Everyone, I have a solution!"
Everyone looked eagerly at Xuan Yang and asked, "Oh? What solution? Hurry up and tell us!"
Xuan Yang spoke directly. "Since the Immortal Court has openly started a war with our Demon Court over this matter, then our Demon Court must accompany them to the very end..."
"Our Demon Court and the Immortal Court were bound to have this battle sooner or later. Since that is the case, we might as well use this opportunity to destroy the Immortal Court."
After hearing this, Taiyi asked Xuan Yang, "Then, Third Brother, do we charge straight into the Immortal Court?"
Xuan Yang shook his head.
"Though we are going to war with the Immortal Court, and though our ultimate goal is certainly to attack the Immortal Court."
"Before that, however, there are three important matters we need to deal with."
Taiyi cast Xuan Yang a puzzled look.
Di Jun, Fuxi, and Nuwa also asked, "Which three?"
Xuan Yang answered, "First, establish rules and distribute Merit to all Demon Court cultivators."
Everyone looked at Xuan Yang in confusion.
Xuan Yang directly explained to them, "Establishing rules is to prevent us from following in the footsteps of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races."
"I am sure all of you know just how glorious the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races once were in the Primordial Wilderness..."
"But because of the great war between the Three Races back then, they became burdened with countless Karmic Debts, and from then on, the Three Races never recovered."
Xuan Yang said with a solemn expression:
"Therefore, establishing rules is absolutely necessary."
"I am sure none of you wish to see our Demon Court finally defeat the Immortal Court, only to be covered in Karmic Debt and become like the present-day Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races, right?"
"So we must inform all Demon Race cultivators that, during this war, they should avoid killing whenever possible."
"As long as they severely injure their enemies and leave them unable to fight back, they will not be tainted by too much Karmic Debt and killing intent."
"Of course, once battle begins, it is very difficult to hold back."
"So there will inevitably be times when they lose control."
"That is also the main reason I want to distribute Merit to all cultivators."
"Although the Immortal Court cultivators all have Merit on hand, I fear that the slaughter they incur may be too severe and their Merit insufficient to cleanse it away, so we should give them some more."
"It is simply a precaution..."
Xuan Yang directly stated the first thing that needed to be done.
Di Jun, Taiyi, Nuwa, and Fuxi all found this matter highly agreeable.
They nodded repeatedly, expressing that his words made sense.
Xuan Yang soon continued.
"As for the second matter..."
"It is naturally to reclaim the tribes of our Demon Race that have been seized, and to protect the Demon Race beings under our protection."
"Since we are the leaders of the Demon Race, everything must place the Demon Race first."
"This matter cannot be handled carelessly either."
Taiyi asked again, "What about the third?"
Xuan Yang answered, "Naturally, it is to first resolve the trouble posed by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races."
"It must be said that, in this war, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races are indeed three hot potatoes."
"Perhaps they are not very powerful, but they are extremely difficult to deal with."
"After all, we cannot simply ignore them, but it is equally unsuitable to truly injure or kill them."
"Furthermore, we have ties with all three races, so we must naturally be even more cautious in dealing with them."
Taiyi felt that Xuan Yang's words made a great deal of sense.
But he truly could not think of a good solution.
So he simply said to Xuan Yang directly, "Third Brother, just tell us. What should we do?"
Xuan Yang answered, "This matter is actually not difficult."
"When the time comes, Eldest Brother and Emperor Xi can activate the Grand Formation of the Stars and trap all the beings of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races."
"The three races never wished to participate in this conflict in the first place. They have no choice but to act because they joined the Immortal Court."
"If we use the Grand Formation of the Stars to trap them, it will be equivalent to offering them a way out. The three races will naturally know to take the hint. That way, everyone will be happy."
Di Jun, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Taiyi all felt that Xuan Yang's idea was quite good upon hearing it.
Thus, they immediately expressed their agreement.
Afterward, they directly began taking action according to what Xuan Yang had said.
First, Di Jun established the rules and distributed Merit.
After that, Nuwa and Taiyi led teams to reclaim the various tribes that had been occupied by the Immortal Court.
Meanwhile, Di Jun, Fuxi, and Xuan Yang remained quietly in the Demon Court, waiting for the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races to "walk into the trap."
Time continued to pass.
But it had to be said, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races truly knew how to stall.
After that, they delayed for several hundred more years without setting out.
In the end, East King Duke had no choice but to send some Immortal Court cultivators and his trusted aides to supervise them.
This army, composed of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races along with Immortal Court cultivators, finally set out.
They quietly made their way toward the Demon Court, flying straight into the void and planning to secretly attack the Stars of the Heavens according to East King Duke's plan.
Yet at that very moment, an unexpected change occurred!
The moment they arrived near the Demon Court, the beings of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races began roaring war cries as though their minds were linked.
Instantly, their momentum surged as their roars shook the heavens!
"Kill! Kill!"
"Everyone, follow me! Destroy the Demon Race's Grand Formation of the Stars!"
"Charge! Charge!"
"..."
The voices of the three races were incredibly loud, directly ruining East King Duke's plan of a secret assault. Practically the entire Demon Court knew they had arrived.
What was even more outrageous was that although the beings of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races shouted fiercely, not a single one stepped forward. They would fly one step and yell ten times, yet after all that, they had barely moved at all.
The accompanying Immortal Court cultivators nearly broke down at the sight.
"Damn it! A bunch of traitors!"
"They deserve to die!"
If not for their fear of the towering Karmic Debt borne by the Three Races' beings, the Immortal Court cultivators would have executed those traitors on the spot. Unfortunately, they could not.
And at that moment, Di Jun and Fuxi, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, finally made their move.
"Grand Formation of the Stars, activate!"
