After telling her everything that had happened, Nuwa was left completely bewildered. Had Jieyin and Zhunti gone to lodge a complaint, or to screw themselves over?
Wasn't it utter nonsense to come complain with such an utterly untenable excuse?
Now this was fun, wasn't it? They had dug themselves into a hole and thoroughly landed on Hongjun's blacklist. Buddhism would have a hard time from now on.
"Before long, the Demon Race will continue descending into the Great Desolation to hunt ferocious beasts. This Emperor needs to cultivate in seclusion for some time."
Taiyi did not spend long in tender company with Nuwa. He was already eager to find his sparring partner, but before that, it was best to make arrangements for the Demon Race. Besides, he himself needed time to recuperate.
Jieyin and Zhunti became famous once more. Naturally, Buddhism's disciples became famous along with them. In almost no time at all, disciples from every major sect began avoiding Buddhist disciples, unwilling to have anything to do with them.
Even some independent cultivators who did not understand the situation followed suit. Once they learned the reason, everyone laughed. Jieyin and Zhunti truly had brought this disaster upon themselves.
Under Taiyi's orders, the Demon Race also prepared for departure. In a mighty procession, they left the Imperial Court for the Great Desolation, taking up positions in the western region to prevent the ferocious beasts from wreaking havoc.
With the Demon Race's arrival, the ferocious beasts' advance into the Great Desolation came to an abrupt halt. This time, unlike before, the Demon Race had not sent only a portion of its forces. Nearly half of the Demon Race within the Imperial Court had descended into the Great Desolation.
Taiyi's goal was simple: eliminate more ferocious beasts in the shortest possible time!!!
