The Saints Grew Wary and Departed One After Another? Taiyi: Is This a Punishment for the Demon Race?

"Senior Brothers Yuanshi and Taiqing are absolutely right!"

"Kong Xuan, as one of Phoenix Race bloodline, you must never act arrogantly or recklessly in the future and commit wrongdoings!"

"Otherwise, this palace will not spare you either!"

"..."

Nuwa also snorted coldly a few times, then immediately turned and headed toward Nuwa Palace.

Right now, she only wanted to know whether the maid by her side would still have a chance to face Thunder Tribulation.

"Kong Xuan, the gates of my Western Teachings are always open to you!"

"If you have nowhere else to go, you may come directly!"

"..."

Jieyin had originally wanted to continue persuading Kong Xuan to join the Western Teachings, but when he saw Taiqing and Yuanshi beginning to withdraw, a trace of apprehension arose in his heart as well.

He could only nod at Kong Xuan before disappearing directly into the void.

With that, only Tongtian, Taiyi, and the Demon Race powerhouses remained.

Tongtian glanced at Kong Xuan, then turned to Taiyi.

"Taiyi, this Kong Xuan's temperament suits my tastes. He must not be killed!"

"If you still make a move after I leave, I will not spare you lightly!"

Tongtian no longer wished to forcefully recruit Kong Xuan.

However, he was quite pleased with Kong Xuan's unyielding temperament. After all, there were very few in the Primordial World who refused to submit before the Saints.

Unfortunately, he was also unwilling to risk suffering punishment from the Heavenly Dao by speaking further.

Before leaving, Tongtian deliberately warned Taiyi, which could be considered giving Kong Xuan a sliver of hope for survival.

"Saint Tongtian, you jest!"

"How could This Emperor possibly defy the will of the Heavenly Dao and act?"

Taiyi replied helplessly.

Even the Saints had been scared away. Naturally, he would not risk offending the Heavenly Dao to attack Kong Xuan.

However, he had no intention of letting Kong Xuan leave just like that. If he could not act, could the many Demon Race powerhouses under his command not act?

Thus, the moment Tongtian departed, Taiyi looked toward Shang Yang in the distance.

Shang Yang's expression changed slightly. She had sensed earlier that the Saints had not forcibly interrogated Kong Xuan because they feared punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

Could she truly be unafraid?

Unfortunately, Taiyi had ordered her to suppress Kong Xuan, and she could not defy Taiyi's Imperial Decree.

This left her caught in a difficult dilemma.

At this moment, Kong Xuan was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, he had been worried that these Saints would forcibly attack and suppress him!

Yet in the blink of an eye, those Saints had all left without a trace.

Even Taiyi, who had wanted to kill him earlier, showed no intention of continuing to attack him.

Could it really be that his earlier words had moved the Heavenly Dao and earned its favor?

Meanwhile, within the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace, Mo Wen revealed a faint smile, extremely satisfied with his little maneuver.

He glanced at the wall of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace, only to discover that Taiyi had no intention of leaving.

"Looks like Taiyi still refuses to give up!"

"Fine!"

"This time, I'll give the Demon Race a little benefit!"

"..."

Mo Wen muttered to himself, then once again split off a wisp of Divine Sense and sent it toward Lu Ya's tribulation information on the Light Screen.

He had originally planned to send Lu Ya a Thunder Tribulation anyway.

After all, the Demon Race's several previous tribulation failures had all been related to his inexperience with controlling lightning.

This time, it could be considered compensation for the Demon Race while also helping Kong Xuan escape Taiyi.

Lu Ya was the youngest of Di Jun's ten sons and Taiyi's nephew.

If his nephew faced tribulation, surely Taiyi, as his uncle, could not simply refuse to go take a look?

As for whether Lu Ya could safely transcend the tribulation, that would naturally depend on how Lu Ya responded.

"I'll go a little easy this time. That should be enough to make it up to the Demon Race!"

After all, Lu Ya was the Demon Crown Prince. His Fortune, foundation, and strength were all extraordinary.

Besides, if the Thunder Tribulation were too weak, Taiyi might not rush back in haste.

With that thought, Mo Wen's Divine Sense trembled, and he directly assigned Lu Ya an Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation!

"Rumble..."

Very quickly, a patch of Tribulation Clouds appeared above the Valley of Tang within Demon Race territory.

The Tribulation Clouds expanded at an astonishing speed, instantly covering the entire sky as waves of shocking thunder rumbled forth.

"Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"

"Elder Brothers, that is my Transformation Thunder Tribulation!"

"I can finally undergo Tribulation Transcendence and Transformation!"

"..."

At this moment, a Three-legged Golden Crow radiating astonishing flames let out bursts of excited cries.

"Tenth Brother, prepare yourself for the tribulation!"

"We have already informed Father Emperor and Second Uncle!"

"They will definitely hurry over to protect Tenth Brother!"

"..."

Not far from Lu Ya, the Nine Figures were all stunned for a moment before hurriedly revealing broad smiles and relaying news of Lu Ya's tribulation to Di Jun and Taiyi.

Under normal circumstances, they would never have been so nervous.

However, with several precedents of Demon Race citizens failing their tribulations, they naturally feared for Lu Ya's safety.

Inner Hall of Demon Emperor Palace!

Di Jun abruptly rose to his feet, a trace of delight appearing on his face.

Beside him, two graceful and exquisitely beautiful women also looked toward the Valley of Tang.

"Your Majesty, has our son encountered his Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"

One of the women asked Di Jun, seemingly somewhat uncertain.

"Indeed!"

"Do not worry. This Emperor has already informed Second Brother. When the time comes, Second Brother and I will protect our son together. We will certainly ensure that he safely transcends the tribulation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Jun's figure flashed as he rushed out of Demon Emperor Palace.

At this time, Taiyi, who was in Honghuang South urging Demon God Shang Yang to attack Kong Xuan, also frowned slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"Could it be that Nephew Lu Ya has encountered his Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"

"Could this be related to Kong Xuan?"

"This is bad. This Emperor must go there personally!"

Taiyi's expression was grim.

Previously, traces of Tribulation Clouds had appeared among the lineages of the Saints, yet none of them had faced a Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

And yet, his youngest nephew had truly encountered a Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

He feared that the Heavenly Dao was dissatisfied with his earlier scheme and intended to punish the Demon Race.

Thus, he could no longer spare any attention for Kong Xuan. He directly unleashed overwhelming might and activated the power of his treasure, tearing apart the Space Barrier as he prepared to traverse the void and rush to the Valley of Tang.

If this Transformation Thunder Tribulation truly was a punishment sent down by the Heavenly Dao, he might be able to use the power of the Innate Treasure to protect Lu Ya.

"He left?"

"Could something have happened to the Demon Race?"

Seeing Taiyi depart in such haste, Kong Xuan, who had been on full guard, could not help but freeze.

Could something have happened within the Demon Race, causing Taiyi to abandon his chance to deal with him and return to the Demon Race?

Shang Yang, high in the sky, was also stunned and hurriedly extended her senses toward the Demon Race.

"It is actually a Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"

"Crown Prince Lu Ya actually encountered a Transformation Thunder Tribulation before the disciples of the many Saints?"

"Could it be..."

Shang Yang seemed to realize something, and her expression changed drastically.

Then she hurriedly shouted to the Demon Race powerhouses under her command, "Go! The Crown Prince's tribulation is of utmost importance. We cannot act against Kong Xuan for now!"

As soon as she spoke, her figure flashed, and she took the lead in leaving.

Kong Xuan also guessed the cause of the matter from Shang Yang's words.

His body could not help but tremble as an inexplicable suspicion arose in his heart.

The successive appearances of Transformation Thunder Tribulations had driven away the Saints and the Demon Emperor, as though they had been meant to save him.

Though he was not strong, he still possessed some self-awareness. He knew that the Heavenly Dao could not possibly go to such lengths for a mere Grand Golden Immortal like him.

Could it be that his casual mention of "Thunder Chaser" had truly found him a master?
