The Kunpeng Besieged
After all the demons had left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Inside the vast hall, only Di Jun and Taiyi Yi remained.
Taiyi gazed at the empty hall and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, how do we deal with a Kunpeng?"
"The two of us brothers working together are enough; why summon all the demons?"
Di Jun sat calmly on his throne. "Taiyi, with the two of us joining forces, dealing with Kunpeng will be a piece of cake."
"However, Kunpeng's speed is unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness. If no one is there to restrain him, and he is determined to escape, it will not be easy for the two of us to completely stop him."
"Summon all the demons! Firstly, we can lay a trap to cut off their Heavenly Net and Earthly Web route, leaving them with nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to hell!"
"Secondly... it's also a way to test the waters and see what the Demon Clan's attitude is towards our attempt to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Kunpeng."
"Looking at it now, the results are quite good."
Upon hearing Taiyi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
"Judging from the demons' reactions just now, although they may have guessed our true purpose, they are indeed resentful that Kunpeng stood idly by during the great battle and did not contribute to the Demon Clan..."
"In this situation, as long as neither of us goes too far, they will most likely turn a blind eye, or even be happy to see it happen!"
Di Jun nodded slightly. "That's right. That's why I said earlier to give Kunpeng a 'chance'."
"We can't just come up here and start shouting for Kunpeng to kill us. We can't let the demons think that we two brothers are acting too domineeringly."
"We have to put on a show, we have to make the demons think that we're cleaning house, we can't let them down."
Upon hearing Taiyi felt a pang of worry. "But what if that Kunpeng really gives in?"
"If he agrees to return to the Heavenly Court and serve the Demon Clan race wholeheartedly, then wouldn't we have no reason to seize his Hongmeng Purple Qi again?"
Di Jun sneered, "He's willing to return to the Heavenly Court? That's even better!"
"If he dares to set foot in this Heavenly Court even half a step, he'll be like a turtle in a jar, completely at our mercy!"
"At that time, I will make him hand over a wisp of his natal Primordial Spirit, which will be suppressed within the Monster Summoning Banner."
"His life and death are entirely in our hands. That Hongmeng Purple Qi is none other than ours to take or take as we please."
Upon hearing Taiyi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, Gao Ming!"
"In this way, if Kunpeng refuses, he will be courting death, and we will have sufficient reason to rightfully kill him and seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"
"If he agrees, he'll be walking right into a trap!"
Di Jun nodded in satisfaction. "That makes perfect sense."
"Go and select the men."
Taiyi nodded repeatedly, his face showing admiration. "Yes, elder brother!"
"I'll arrange it right away!"
The Northern Darkness is bitterly cold.
Di Jun and Taiyi led a group of elite Demon Clan, silently descending upon this place and completely surrounding Kunpeng's Lair.
Their Surrounding Body Yao Qi was so tightly concealed that it was almost impossible to detect unless one saw it with their own eyes.
Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his voice not loud, yet it pierced through layers of Restrictions and reached Kunpeng's Dao Field: "Demon Master, we have come from afar, won't you come out to see us?"
Deep in the North Sea, the Kunpeng, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened its eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
"Di Jun? What's he doing here?" Kunpeng frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
He swept his Divine Sense outwards, looking through the protective array. Upon seeing this, Kunpeng's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
Di Jun and Taiyi stood side by side, followed by Baize, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and other core members of the Demon Clan, including Demon Saint and Demon God!
"How did they suddenly arrive here? And with so many Demon God and Demon Saint!"
"Could it be... could it be that he finally couldn't hold back and was going to try and steal my Primordial Purple?"
Thinking of this, Kunpeng's face grew increasingly grim, and an uncontrollable anger and chill surged in his heart.
This is outrageous!
Kunpeng's mind raced as he pondered a solution when Di Jun's voice rang out again, tinged with coldness.
"Kunpeng, if you don't show yourself soon, don't blame me for disrespecting you, the Demon Master."
The threat in his tone was no longer concealed.
Kunpeng sensed the impatience in Di Jun's words and realized that things were unlikely to end well. If he continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he would only provoke the other party.
He took a deep breath and proclaimed loudly through the array, "So it is His Demon Emperor Your Majesty His Highness the Eastern Emperor who have graced us with their presence. Kunpeng has failed to greet you properly; please forgive me."
"I wonder what brings Your Majesty and Eastern Emperor Highness the North Sea today?"
"Hmph." Di Jun snorted coldly, "Kunpeng, now that you know we've arrived, why don't you open the formation and invite us in for a seat?"
"Is this how Demon Master treats his guests?"
Kunpeng cursed inwardly, "Inviting you in? That's like inviting wolves into the house, courting death!"
He knew very well that this Mountain Guarding Array was his last line of defense; once it was activated, he would completely lose his last barrier.
Under the siege of Di Jun, Taiyi, and numerous Demon God, they will be even less able to resist.
So he could only bite the bullet and continue to make excuses, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor has misunderstood; it was not Kunpeng was being disrespectful."
"It's really... I'm currently in seclusion, cultivating and comprehending a profound method. I've reached the most crucial stage and can't afford to be distracted. It's truly inconvenient for me to entertain guests."
"How about this... Your Majesty and His Highness the Eastern Emperor return to the Heavenly Court first?"
"Once I finish this period of seclusion, I will personally go to the Heavenly Court to apologize to His Your Majesty and His Highness the Eastern Emperor. What do you say?"
"Seclusion?" Di Jun scoffed.
"Hmph!" Di Jun let out a cold snort. "Kunpeng, I'm giving you one last chance."
"Open the formation, come out obediently, and I might still have some lingering affection for you."
"If you insist on disobeying my orders, then don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Kunpeng cursed inwardly, but still explained, "Your Majesty is joking. I, Kunpeng, am utterly loyal to the Heavenly Court and hold Your Majesty in the highest esteem. How could I dare disobey your orders?"
"Indeed... this seclusion is no small matter. If it is interrupted, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but there may also be backlash. I hope Your Majesty can understand."
"Hmph! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
Di Jun's patience finally ran out, his face darkened completely, and he said sternly, "Since the Demon Master is unwilling to come out, then I will have no choice but to personally 'invite' you out!"
He suddenly waved his hand and ordered the Demon God Demon Saint behind him, "Set up the Lesser Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array and break this formation for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Demon God responded with a roar, their figures flashing as they quickly took their positions.
In an instant, starlight flashed, and the rudimentary form of a murderous array appeared, completely surrounding the entire North Sea Palace.
Although it is only the Lesser Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, it is far less powerful than the true Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array.
However, with so many Demon Saint and Demon God working together to set it up, its power was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
Upon seeing this, Kunpeng's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer remain calm.
"Di Jun! Taiyi! Are you really going to completely break off all relations?!"
He roared, frantically channeling his magic Magic Power to stabilize the great formation.
Above the North Sea Palace, a brilliant light shone, and layers of Restrictions runes appeared, attempting to withstand the impending violent attack.
Di Jun watched coldly, unmoved. "Tear off the mask? Kunpeng, you're the one who's asking for trouble!"
"Do it!"
