The echoes of the Eastern Emperor Bell still reverberated between heaven and earth. The Hongmeng Purple Qi, like a swimming dragon, broke free from everyone's restraints and transformed into a purple stream of light that shot straight into the eastern sky.
All the powerful beings present were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and by the time they came to their senses, the Purple Qi representing the opportunity to become a saint had already flown thousands of miles away.
"It's the Eastern Emperor Bell!"
"The Demon Clan race isn't just sending Kunpeng alone; could it be their entire race? That's bad..."
"It seems we have to join forces! Otherwise, how can we defeat the Demon Clan race?"
"Taiyi!" The Ancestor Minghe's eyes were bloodshot, and the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords hummed at his sides. "Are you representing the Demon Clan to interfere in this matter?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi, his golden robes fluttering, held the Chaos Bell in his hand.
He did not directly answer Minghe's question, but instead scanned the entire scene, his gaze lingering on Kunpeng for a moment.
The Demon Master was taken aback. He hadn't expected the Eastern Emperor to come. After all, Hong Yun had a good relationship with the Western Teachings, and the Demon Clan cooperated with the Western Teachings. Di Jun and the others wouldn't take the initiative to attack Hong Yun.
He himself used the excuse of the Purple Sky Palace giving up his seat to cause trouble, wanting to take the opportunity to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi. At least this was a legitimate reason.
However, seeing Taiyi's gaze, it seemed he wanted Taiyi to cooperate. It appeared that the recent events had given Taiyi and the others a new idea: to first seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi in their Demon Clan's hands, and deal with the rest later.
Kunpeng had figured it out, he immediately nodded slightly to Taiyi, and a ghostly blue flame quietly spread from his sleeve, blocking the path of Minghe and the others.
"Fellow Daoists," Taiyi's voice, like the clinking of gold and jade, resonated in the hearts of everyone present, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun is truly righteous. Since he has already relinquished the Hongmeng Purple Qi, that Purple Qi is naturally ownerless. What everyone else can fight for, my Demon Clan can also fight for. The outcome will depend on each person's ability."
Before the words were even finished, the Minghe transformed into a blood-red rainbow and suddenly tore through space.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi arrived, he sensed something was wrong. The Demon Clan had no shortage of manpower, so why would they fight one-on-one? With his sharp eyes, he noticed Kunpeng's secret actions, which made him realize that the two Demon Clan were trying to stall for time.
Minghe, disregarding the cost of burning the Blood God Spawn he had painstakingly refined, used his escape Escape Technique. 129,600 Blood God Spawn exploded simultaneously, transforming into a monstrous wave of blood that broke through the demonic fire blockade set up by Kunpeng and continued to flee rapidly in the direction from which the Hongmeng Purple Qi had escaped.
At this moment, he was thinking of a quick victory, and he couldn't drag it out until the Demon Clan army arrived, otherwise he would have no share of the Purple Qi.
The other powerful beings, seeing that Minghe had broken through Kunpeng's demonic fire without saying a word, also realized what was happening and each displayed their Divine Ability.
Some transformed into Qingfeng and vanished into the heavens, some used Great Earth Evasion techniques, and some even tore through the void to chase after them.
Seeing this, Taiyi and Kunpeng quickly chased after them and held everyone back.
The Kunpeng revealed its true form, its wingspan reaching 90,000 li. The Minghe transformed into a blood rainbow, its speed not slowing down at all. The others displayed their Divine Ability, chasing after it for tens of millions of li in the blink of an eye.
Taiyi transmitted his voice to Kunpeng and said, "Demon Master, I have sent a message to the Demon Court to inform my Elder Brother of the situation here."
Originally, considering Hong Yun's relationship with the Western Teachings, and our cooperation with the Western Teachings, we had no intention of possessing the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Hong Yun's possession.
We pretended not to see you sneaking out to try and steal Hong Yun's purple Purple Qi. You already had a karmic Karma with Hong Yun when you were in the Purple Sky Palace, which can be used as a reason for your actions.
However, as you have seen, Hong Yun voluntarily gave up the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so if we make a move again, it won't be considered bullying Hong Yun.
"Let's hold off these people ahead and prevent them from obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Once my Elder Brother arrives with his forces, the Purple Qi will naturally fall into the hands of our Demon Clan. We can discuss the ownership of the Purple Qi later."
"Good."
The crowd all followed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which saved Zhenyuanzi the effort of continuing to activate the Earth Scroll to establish Defense Barrier and protect the Longevity Mountain area.
Watching the departing figures, Hong Yun suddenly laughed and said, "Zhenyuanzi, the trouble is all gone, and we're all relieved. Why don't we go back to Wuzhuang Temple and get some Ginseng Fruit to celebrate and add to the festivities!"
Zhenyuanzi put away the Earth Scroll, stroked his beard, and smiled, "This suggestion is not bad. It's perfect to send Qingfeng and Mingyue there..."
The two rode on clouds and leisurely returned to the temple.
Turning our gaze to the other side, the Hongmeng Purple Qi seemed to be driven by something, heading eastward towards Buzhou Mountain.
After receiving a message from Taiyi, Di Jun learned that Hong Yun had abandoned the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and that the Purple Qi was now ownerless.
He understood Taiyi's meaning and immediately ordered people to gather, while also having others investigate the locations of Eastern Emperor and Kunpeng. The Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation was ready to be used for teleportation at any time.
After all the great gods of the Demon Court had gathered, Di Jun briefly explained the current situation. He then arranged for Changxi and Xihe to stay in the Heavenly Realm and preside over the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation, while he himself led Fuxi and many other Demon God to provide support.
At this moment, the Heavenly Realm Inspector also sent a message, reporting the locations the Two the Eastern Emperor and the Demon Master.
"Your Majesty, the two lords, Eastern Emperor and Demon Master, have been traveling eastward from Longevity Mountain. They have now reached a place 300 million li west of Buzhou Mountain and have been staying there for some time. This area is now under the control of the Witch Clan, and we have probably encountered Witch Clan forces."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun was worried that Taiyi would suffer a loss, so he ordered someone to send a message to Taiyi, telling him to hold on for a while and that reinforcements would arrive soon. He then quickly gathered his Demon Clan members and ordered the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation to be activated for teleportation.
At this moment, on the Primordial Desolation Earth, the people were constantly pulling and chasing after the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which had already entered the control range of the Witch Clan.
Three hundred million miles west of Buzhou Mountain, in the sky above, various Evasion Light tore through space and clashed together.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi swirled through the clouds like a dragon, followed closely by dozens of imposing figures.
"Minghe! Don't even think about monopolizing the Purple Qi!" The Kunpeng's wings stirred up a fierce Astral Wind, and the ghostly blue demonic fire transformed into chains that wrapped around the blood rainbow.
The Ancestor Minghe grinned maliciously and swung his Yuantu and Abi Swords, its blood-red light severing the demonic flames. "Kunpeng, with your impeccable background, you don't even possess a decent treasure. Do you dare to compete with me for this opportunity?"
As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face, don't kill someone in the heart." The words of the Ancestor Minghe really hit Kunpeng's sore spot. They were accurate and ruthless, and they broke Kunpeng's defenses in an instant.
But this also made him attack the Minghe even more vigorously.
It's no wonder that Minghe was like this. Kunpeng the Two Taiyi had to hold back so many powerful figures, and among them, Minghe was the most troublesome. The two of them had no choice but to prioritize attacking Minghe.
Kunpeng remembered the swords that Minghe had used to strike him when they fought before, so he seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Taking advantage of the moment when the Eastern Emperor Bell rang and Minghe was immobilized, Kunpeng picked up the Demon Master Palace and smashed it. Although Minghe was protected by the Karma Red Lotus and was not seriously injured, he was still knocked off balance and lost his advantage in the fight.
When pushed to the limit, they seized on Kunpeng's weakness and exposed it.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly groaned, and the thirty million Blood God Spawn trembled all at once—the sound waves of the Eastern Emperor Bell spread out like ripples, forcibly slowing his escape speed by thirty percent. If it weren't for the supreme treasure protecting him, who knows how many of the Blood God Spawn around him would have been shattered.
