Kunpeng Fellow Daoist! Please Stay!

On the shores of the North Sea

The sea breeze howled, blowing the robes of the people on the shore to flutter in the wind.

Tai Yi and Di Jun stood there, their gazes fixed on the surging North Sea.

"Brother, why aren't we recruiting the North Sea Black Tortoise, but rather Kunpeng?" Tai Yi was very confused. In terms of cultivation, spiritual treasures, and fortune, the Black Tortoise surpassed Kunpeng in all aspects.

"Although the Black Tortoise's cultivation is extremely high, his intellect is not sound. He is useless to our Demon Clan. Instead, Kunpeng is more suitable for our Demon Clan!"

Di Jun had thought it over repeatedly and finally chose Kunpeng. After all, Kunpeng could communicate; he was a normal person.

The Black Tortoise's physical body was too powerful, leading to his unsound intellect. Their Demon Court was not a welfare institution; what use did they have for an idiot?

"Tai Yi, go bring Kunpeng here!"

"I've used the River Diagram and Luo Shu to deduce his location. He is hiding in this sea area."

"Big Brother, just watch!"

With that, Tai Yi leaped into the North Sea. The North Sea was deep and cold, but it had no effect on Tai Yi, whose true form was the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Suddenly, the calm sea surface erupted with a massive whirlpool, and a whale-like beast ten thousand feet long burst out of the water, letting out a sky-shattering roar.

Tai Yi stood on the head of Kunpeng's true form, and the surrounding seawater turned into steam and dissipated.

"Kunpeng, do I really need to make a move before you'll stop?"

He summoned the Chaos Bell, and a stream of spiritual light shot towards the giant beast. The beast swung its tail, attempting to intercept it, but it was powerless. It was smashed squarely on its back and fell heavily into the sea, stirring up monstrous waves.

The might of the Chaos Bell was terrifying to the extreme!

"I have no karmic connection with you two, do I? Why did you attack me the moment we met!" the giant Kun roared. "With such shameless behavior, how are you any different from those two from the West?"

"Kunpeng, how dare you insult me?"

"Chaos Bell, continue the suppression!"

The clear bell chimes continued to resonate over the North Sea. After five or six strikes, the giant Kun fell directly into the sea, causing immense ripples.

Amidst the waves, a figure transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the outside of the North Sea. Its speed was astonishing. It was Kunpeng's innate divine ability, Roc's Soaring Ten Thousand Miles, capable of traveling ten thousand miles in an instant.

"Tai Yi, that's Kunpeng's innate divine ability!"

"Let's chase him!"

The two of them used the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow technique, closely pursuing him. Their speed was on par with Kunpeng's Roc's Soaring Ten Thousand Miles.

"Chaos Bell, suppress space!"

"Luo Shu, seal Kunpeng."

Tai Yi and Di Jun unleashed their respective spiritual treasures, immobilizing most of the space above the North Sea.

Kunpeng, who had been fleeing in all directions, found himself unable to move. The surrounding space seemed to have frozen.

The next moment, two hands landed on his shoulders.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, we've hit it off immediately!"

"And now you're leaving? That's a bit disrespectful."

Tai Yi and Di Jun stood on either side, their hands like iron clamps, firmly gripping Kunpeng's shoulders.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, my brother and I merely wanted to have tea with you and discuss a major matter!"

"Why are you so agitated?" Di Jun said with a smile.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, perhaps you can tell me what this major matter is?"

"I, Kunpeng, will certainly go through fire and water for it!"

Kunpeng smiled outwardly but cursed inwardly. Damn it, discussing the Dao and immediately smashing me with the Chaos Bell? We're talking about reason, not physics!

"It's very simple. Tai Yi and I have established the Demon Clan, and we are currently in need of a Demon Master. We wish to invite Fellow Daoist Kunpeng to take up this position!"

Thus, with the nascent Demon Clan in urgent need of powerful figures to support it, they offered Kunpeng the position of Demon Master.

"If Fellow Daoist Kunpeng agrees, you can share in our Demon Clan's destiny!"

Hearing Di Jun's words, Kunpeng fell into contemplation. However, as the pain in his shoulders intensified, he couldn't afford to think too much.

If he refused today, he might perish here...

"I agree to serve as the Demon Master!"

"But I have a condition!"

"You must help me kill that fellow Hong Yun. I can't coexist with him. He ruined my opportunities, insulted my divine abilities..."

Thinking of this, Kunpeng was consumed by rage. If not for that meddlesome good-for-nothing Hong Yun, he would have long ago become a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor and wouldn't be forced by Tai Yi and Di Jun!

"We agree!"

And so, Kunpeng became the Demon Master of the Demon Clan, receiving the protection of its destiny...

"I say, you two, are we really not going to recruit the Black Tortoise?"

"His opportunities and abilities are stronger than mine?"

"No, I believe suitability is more important than ability, Demon Master Kunpeng! Although that Black Tortoise surpasses you in many aspects, it's ultimately unsuitable!"

Di Jun looked at Kunpeng with trusting eyes, making Kunpeng feel that being the Demon Master wasn't so bad...

Little did Kunpeng know that his comparison was with someone whose intellect was not yet fully developed. The Black Tortoise was incredibly large, and precisely because of its size, it had been slow to develop complete sentience.

It wasn't entirely Kunpeng's fault. As fellow innate beings from the North Sea, he had met the Black Tortoise long ago. However, the Black Tortoise had merely stared at him with eyes as vast as mountains.

After half a day of silence, Kunpeng assumed it was being aloof and simply turned to leave. In reality, the Black Tortoise's underdeveloped intellect made speaking difficult...

"Heh heh, Martial Uncle Nuwa is joking. How could I be afraid of my Martial Uncle?"

"This is... distance makes the heart grow fonder..."

Shi Yu scratched his head. Alright, she was still afraid of Nuwa pinching his ear. The last time in Zixiao Palace, that pinch nearly sent him to his demise. Indeed, the prettier the woman, the harsher the hand~

"Little Yu Zi, keep making excuses~"

Seeing this, Shi Yu quickly poured a cup of the brewed Enlightenment Tea and offered it to Martial Uncle Nuwa.

"Have some tea, Martial Uncle, have some tea!"

He poured three cups in total, one each for West Queen Mother and Fuxi. The aroma of the Enlightenment Tea wafted through the entire valley.

As everyone was enjoying the tea, auspicious light surged in the sky. It was Tai Yi, Di Jun, and Kunpeng arriving.

"Sigh, why does drinking tea always attract so much trouble~"

Shi Yu sighed as he watched the approaching trio, then downed the tea in his cup.

When the three arrived, Di Jun cupped his hands in greeting and announced loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, we come to disturb you."

Fuxi raised an eyebrow slightly. "May I ask why the three of you have come? Are you perhaps here to ask for a cup of tea?"

Hearing this, Di Jun chuckled. "Tai Yi and I have founded the Demon Clan, and we are here today to invite both of you to join us."

Nuwa put down her teacup and gently shook her head. "My brother and I are accustomed to our freedom and dislike being confined to a single clan. Moreover, our neighbors are the Wu Clan. Isn't that inappropriate!"

"You two are great powers in the world. If you join the Demon Clan, it will surely lead to its great prosperity. Furthermore, the Demon Clan will not overly restrict your freedom; just having your names on the roster will suffice!"

Di Jun quickly responded. These two were top-tier powerhouses in the Primordial World; having them join the Demon Clan would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Fuxi pondered for a moment and looked at Nuwa. Such important matters should be decided by his Little Sister; he respected her choice.

Kunpeng, standing nearby, spoke up. "Please don't rush to refuse. If you join the Demon Clan, your destinies will be shared, which is immensely beneficial for your cultivation and carries no harm!"

Nuwa frowned and shook her head. "My brother and I are free spirits and have no intention of joining the Demon Clan."

"Besides, isn't the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor Dong Wang Gong? Fellow Daoists Tai Yi and Di Jun, are you not afraid of provoking his displeasure with such actions?"

Shi Yu looked at Martial Uncle Nuwa beside him, taking a deep breath. Martial Uncle Nuwa's move was brilliant – using a borrowed knife to kill.

Knowing that Dong Wang Gong and Di Jun had conflicting Great Daos, she directly provoked them, using their hands to teach Dong Wang Gong a lesson.

Brilliant!

"Dong Wang Gong? Hmph~"

Tai Yi crossed his arms and snorted coldly. He didn't put Dong Wang Gong in his eyes at all; he was merely a dead man walking~

Di Jun quickly smoothed things over. "Fellow Daoist Nuwa worries too much. Our Demon Clan acts according to our hearts and need not heed the opinions of others. However, since your minds are made up, we shall not force the issue."

Tai Yi remained unconvinced. "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please reconsider. Our Demon Clan has limitless potential and will surely become the rulers of the Primordial World in the future."

Fuxi smiled in response. "Thank you for your kind offer, but my sibling and I have no such ambitions. We merely wish to live carefree lives."

At this moment, Kunpeng's eyes darted around. "Then, if things change in the future, we hope you two will remain neutral and not get involved in unnecessary disputes~"

After all, such great beings could play a crucial role in any faction, so neutrality was their best position.

Nuwa glanced at Kunpeng. "Naturally. My brother and I only wish to cultivate in peace and will not easily involve ourselves in disputes."

Di Jun sighed helplessly. "Since that is the case, we shall take our leave now."

"Wait a moment~"

"Little Yu Zi, since the three of you have traveled all the way to Mount Buzhou, we should fulfill our duties as hosts."

"Let us pour the three fellow Daoists a cup of tea to quench their thirst!"

Fuxi said. Even if the deal didn't go through, courtesy remained. Since they had come to invite him and Nuwa in good faith, they should at least be offered a cup of tea before leaving.

"Little Yu Zi, pour the tea!"

Fuxi waved his hand, and three cups of Enlightenment Tea flew before the three of them on a gentle breeze.

"Hahaha, thank you then!"

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi~"
