Taiyi Returns Without Success
Taiyi roared repeatedly, pushing the True Sun Fire to its limit, transforming himself into a blazing sun, and crushing towards East King Duke.
However, the East King Duke was prepared, his Surrounding Body radiating brilliant immortal light, and he withstood Taiyi's desperate attack.
Boom--!!!
It was another earth-shattering collision, and both of them were knocked back.
Taiyi's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water; his chest was churning with anger, yet he was helpless.
But he suppressed his anger and scanned the battlefield below with his Divine Sense.
Although the Demon Army was fearless, Demon Clan were at a disadvantage on the Immortal Court's home turf, suffering considerable casualties.
Many of those Immortal Court cultivators were once Rogue cultivator with diverse methods, but they were unusually fierce at this moment, clearly venting their resentment towards the Demon Clan.
"Damn it!" Taiyi cursed inwardly.
Continuing the fight will not benefit his Demon Clan at all.
He took a deep breath and said coldly, "East King Duke, I'm giving you one last chance!"
"Hand over those rogue cultivators who participated in hunting my Demon Clan Rogue cultivator, and I will forgive and forget what happened today!"
"Otherwise, when my Demon Army descends again, it will be the day your Immortal Court is destroyed."
The East King Duke shook his head and said dismissively, "Impossible."
"As I have already stated, since they have joined my Immortal Court, they are now my Immortal Court and naturally subject to my Immortal Court."
"You want me to hand them over? Not a chance!"
"Taiyi, if you have the guts, then attack my Penglai Immortal Island! I'll take you on!"
"Fine! Very well!" Taiyi was furious.
He glanced deeply at the East King Duke, then at the Demon Army still fighting fiercely below.
"East King Duke! It seems you're determined to oppose my Demon Clan!"
"I will remember this humiliation!"
"You just wait! This matter will not end here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyi turned around without hesitation and gave the order to retreat.
Although the Demon Army was unwilling, they had no choice but to obey orders and, under the command of several Demon Marshal, slowly changed direction.
Filled with resentment and murderous intent, they left the East Sea and headed towards the Heavenly Court.
As the Demon Army marched away, East King Duke wore a smug smile.
In today's battle, the Immortal Court has completely trampled on the face of the Demon Clan and established its prestige in the Primordial Wilderness!
However, beneath the smile lay a subtle hint of seriousness.
He knew that today's matter would not end so easily.
Having suffered such a great loss, given the personalities of Di Jun and Taiyi, the Demon Clan will inevitably seek revenge.
A high-ranking official from the Immortal Court stepped forward and flattered him, saying, "Congratulations Wood Duke, for thwarting the Demon Clan's advance! You have displayed the might of our Immortal Court!"
East King Duke waved his hand, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "Hmph, Taiyi is nothing special!"
"Pass down the order: let those newly joined immortals cultivate diligently. They'll have plenty of opportunities to contribute in the future!"
"Yes, Wood Duke!"
As Eastern Emperor Taiyi angrily returned to the Heavenly Court from the East Sea.
The massive and bloody purge of the Rogue cultivator by Primordial Wilderness Demon Clan has come to a temporary close.
However, any creature with a modicum of knowledge in the Primordial Wilderness knew that this matter could not be easily resolved.
The conflict between the Demon Clan and the Immortal Court has reached a point of no return.
Moreover, the "secret" lies in the fact that the flesh and bones of the Demon Clan are treasures for cultivation.
It had already spread to every corner of the Primordial Wilderness through the mouths of those Rogue cultivator who were being hunted down.
As long as this temptation remains, the greedy gazes that secretly covet the Demon Clan will never disappear.
This Primordial Wilderness storm has only just begun to stir.
Heavenly Court.
Taiyi returned from the East Sea and told Di Jun everything that had happened East Sea.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun's face darkened, and he immediately summoned all the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall for a meeting.
When Baize, Fuxi, and all the Demon Saint Demon God had arrived.
Di Jun slowly recounted Taiyi's experiences in the East Sea and the actions of the East King Duke in protecting those Rogue cultivator.
The moment the words were spoken, the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall erupted in chaos.
"This is outrageous!"
"Who does he think he is, the East King Duke? How dare he openly oppose my Demon Clan?"
"Your Majesty! Give the order! This humble general is willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to raze that Penglai Immortal Island to the ground!"
The Demon Saint Demon God were filled with righteous indignation and murderous intent, all clamoring to teach the Immortal Court a lesson that would never be forgotten.
"That's right! A mere Immortal Court dares to harbor enemies of my Demon Clan? They're asking for trouble!"
"Exactly! Who does he think he is? Wu Clan? Does he think he can go against us?"
"The Wu Clan doesn't possess the Twelve Divine Fiend Formation, and what does their Immortal Court have? A bunch of rabble! How dare they boast before my Demon Clan!"
"Do you really think our Demon Clan's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array is just for show?"
"If my Demon Clan's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array can't deal with the Wu Clan, how could it not handle a mere Immortal Court?"
"That's right! Once the great formation is activated, let alone one Immortal Court, even ten of them would be wiped out!"
The Demon God Demon Saint were filled with righteous indignation, their killing intent soaring to the heavens, and they all clamored to send troops immediately.
They couldn't wait to raze Penglai Immortal Island to the ground and show all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness the consequences of provoking the Heavenly Court.
Fuxi sat to one side, listening to the clamor of the crowd, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, remaining silent throughout.
He always felt that things weren't that simple.
Di Jun Di Jun sat high on his throne, taking in everyone's reactions. He raised his hand, and the noisy hall immediately fell silent.
His gaze finally settled on Fuxi.
"Emperor Xi, what do you think of this matter?"
Upon hearing this, the noisy hall immediately quieted down, and everyone's attention turned to Fuxi.
Fuxi stood up, bowed slightly to Di Jun, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, there's something fishy about this matter."
"What could be wrong with that!"
Before Fuxi could finish speaking, Taiyi couldn't help but interrupt him, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger.
"I think it's that East King Duke who's courting death!"
"Brother, don't hesitate, send troops now! This time, we must raze Penglai Immortal Island to the ground and let him know the consequences of offending our Demon Clan race!"
"Taiyi!"
Di Jun shouted, stopping Taiyi from continuing.
He raised his hand towards Fuxi.
"Emperor Xi, please continue."
Fuxi nodded, his expression grave as he analyzed, "Logically speaking, although the East King Duke is arrogant, he shouldn't be so unwise."
"He should be well aware of the serious consequences of openly protecting those Rogue cultivator and breaking ties with our Demon Clan."
"He knew that my Demon Clan race was powerful and possessed the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, a top-tier killing array from the Primordial Wilderness era, yet he still chose to confront it head-on, even at the cost of a direct conflict with His Eastern Emperor."
"This doesn't make sense."
"Unless... he is confident enough that the Immortal Court is capable of challenging my Demon Clan."
Di Jun's pupils contracted slightly.
"Does Emperor Xi mean that the Immortal Court possesses a means sufficient to counter the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array of my Demon Clan?"
"Besides this, I really can't think of any other possibility."
"It can't be that he's really gone mad and wants to drag the Immortal Court he painstakingly built down with him, can it?"
