Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
Bai Chen Bai Chen, who had been slumped on the throne, suddenly sat up straight and scanned the crowd, saying:
"Now that the show's over, let's get down to business."
Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, the atmosphere in the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall immediately became extremely heavy.
!!!
Di Jun frowned deeply. He had thought that Bai Chen's provocation of the conflict between him and his wife was already going too far.
But judging from this Evil Cat's words, this seems to be just an appetizer!
This whole commotion has only been an appetizer; you can imagine how serious the real issue Bai Chen is about to discuss is.
Bai Chen stared intently at Di Jun and questioned him:
"Dead Bird Di Jun, I've heard that Xihe is also enjoying the Merit and Fortune, and quite a lot at that?"
This is the important matter Bai Chen wants to discuss, something it only learned about recently.
Now that we've come to the Heavenly Court, we naturally have to settle accounts with Di Jun.
"That's right, Xihe does indeed enjoy half of the Merit and Fortune!"
Di Jun readily admitted to the matter, and he did not think there was anything wrong with it.
"If this great god is not mistaken, this half-batch of demonic Merit and Fortune was taken from the heads of billions of demonic warriors and given to Xihe, wasn't it!"
Since Bai Chen brought this up, he must be very clear about it.
"That's right!"
Di Jun nodded again, acknowledging the matter, because it couldn't be hidden without investigation.
Di Jun couldn't touch the interests of the demon race's higher-ups. In order to give Xihe half a share of the demon race's Merit and Fortune, he could only squeeze out Xihe's share from among the billions of demons.
"Di Jun, how dare you!"
"As the Heavenly Emperor, you have privately withheld the Merit and Fortune of countless demon warriors, all to please Xihe. Do you know your crime?"
When Bai Chen questioned Di Jun, his power was fully displayed, and at that moment, an Ancient Fierce God awakened.
At this moment, apart from Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Quasi-Saint at the peak of his Slaying the Three Corpses cultivation, everyone else felt the pressure brought by Bai Chen's cultivation.
Faced with Bai Chen's questioning, Di Jun also felt a lot of pressure. His intuition told him that Bai Chen's cultivation and magical power had improved significantly.
The cat's earlier statement about being able to defeat itself with one hand was probably not a joke.
The more Di Jun thought about it, the angrier he became. He had worked so hard in his cultivation, so why was he still surpassed by the extremely lazy Bai Chen?
Bai Chen: You bunch of people who're obsessed with the Method of Severing the Three Corpses, do you even dare to compare yourselves to this great god?
This great master primarily cultivates the power of laws, using the Method of Severing the Three Corpses as a secondary means. He has consumed countless Merit and Fortune comprehend the power of laws.
Furthermore, this great deity has devoured countless spiritual fruits, herbs, and blood delicacies to enhance his physical strength and cultivation power. Do you even deserve to compare yourself to this great deity?
"Bai Chen, Xihe is the Empress of the Demon Clan, and she is entitled to enjoy the Demon Race Fortune."
After regaining his senses, Di Jun, despite the pressure from Bai Chen, began to explain.
"Snort!"
Bai Chen sneered, looking at Di Jun with disdain, and questioned him sharply:
"Dead Bird Di Jun, Nuwa, the saint of the demon race, has not yet agreed. Does Xihe have the qualifications to enjoy the Demon Race Fortune?"
"You, the Heavenly Emperor, what right do you have to grant Xihe half of the Demon Race Fortune? Is it simply because she is your wife?"
Nuwa was a saint among the demon race, and also the most revered being among them.
Di Jun Di Jun did not consult Nuwa about such a major matter as dividing the Xihe and the Demon Race Fortune, which was completely overstepping his bounds.
To put it more broadly, Di Jun is disrespecting Nuwa, a saint of the demon race.
Faced with Bai Chen's sudden attack, Xihe, who was already furious about Di Jun's mess, finally exploded:
"Bai Chen, even though you haven't joined the demon race, you can still enjoy half of the demon Merit and Fortune thanks to Empress Nuwa."
"And I am not only the wife of Di Jun, the Empress of the Demon Clan, but also the Lord of Taiyin."
"I entered the Heavenly Court and cooperated with the demon race in practicing the Great Zhou Celestial Array. Why can't I enjoy half of the demon race's Merit and Fortune?"
Xihe felt that her contributions to the demon race were far greater than Bai Chen's.
Bai Chen, who brought disaster to the demon race, can enjoy the Merit and Fortune, so Xihe is also qualified to enjoy them.
"Why should I, a great god, receive even half a share of the demon race's Merit and Fortune?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen turned his gaze to Xihe, sneered, and rebuked her:
"Just because Nuwa joined the demon race was something I, the great god, orchestrated. This is the reward that the Dead Bird Di Jun promised to give me!"
"I know what you're all thinking. You all think Nuwa has never cared about the demon race!"
"But let me tell you, if Nuwa hadn't joined the demon race, the Witch Clan would have wiped you out long ago!"
"The first thing the Three Pure Ones did after attaining enlightenment was to deal with you all!"
"If it weren't for Nuwa, do you think Jieyin and Zhunti, who would Jieyin and Zhunti at nothing to revitalize the West, would have let you off the hook?"
"..."
Bai Chen knew that these high-ranking members of the demon race harbored resentment towards Nuwa for not helping the demon race much.
Therefore, it recounted all the benefits that Nuwa's joining the demon race brought to them.
Nuwa: Little White is right, if you can talk, then talk more.
Nuwa: If it weren't for the fact that I, Nuwa, bear the name of a saint of the demon race, the demon race would have been wiped out long ago.
As Bai Chen revealed the truth, the high-ranking members of the demon race suddenly realized the truth.
As Bai Chen said, Nuwa did not need to directly help the demon race.
As long as she bears the title of a demon saint, the benefits she brings to the demon race will be enormous.
"Just for Vice Cult Leader Bai Chen getting Empress Nuwa to join the demon race, he deserves half a percent of the demon race's Merit and Fortune!"
The first to express their opinion this time was not Bai Chen's five lackeys, but Di Jun's strategist and chief advisor, Bai Ze!
Bai Ze always understood Nuwa's importance to the demon race; without Nuwa, the demon race would have no reason to exist.
Because the demon race lacks Nuwa, for the other sages, there is only one sentence:
In the Primordial World, there was no room for such a powerful being as the demon race.
The Heavenly Court is more prosperous than our Human Religion's lineage; the Heavenly Court should perish!
The truth is that because the demon race had Nuwa, a saint, the other saints did not take action against them.
Following Bai Ze's statement, apart from Di Jun's family, the higher-ups of the demon race all felt that Bai Chen should take the half-percent of the Merit and Fortune.
"Xihe, there's another reason why this great god deserves half a percent of the Merit and Fortune: my fist is big enough."
Bai Chen's cultivation level was fully revealed. He stared intently at Xihe and questioned her:
"Xihe, you've only just recovered to the mid-stage of the One-Corpse Quasi-Saint realm, how dare you speak to this great god like that? Are you tired of living?"
"Ask the Dead Bird Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi if they dare to speak to this great god like that?"
Bai Chen's outburst reminded everyone present of something.
What path did Bai Chen cultivate?
This cat's way is to be domineering and tyrannical!
Previously, this cat could only bully others by relying on its power; it was a cat that acted like a bully.
However, ever since Houtu attained enlightenment, Bai Chen no longer concealed his abilities and revealed his terrifying Merit and Fortune.
This made the demon race's higher-ups realize one thing: Bai Chen himself already possessed the power to act with unparalleled dominance.
"Bai Chen, come at me if you have a problem!"
Di Jun stood in front of Xihe and protected her behind him, fearing that Bai Chen might suddenly attack Xihe.
Di Jun knew that Bai Chen was incredibly powerful, Xihe couldn't withstand Bai Chen's surprise attack.
"Dead Bird Di Jun, you think you can beat this great god?"
Bai Chen looked at Di Jun, who had come to the rescue, and mocked him with a hint of annoyance.
Those who have the ability to save a beauty are heroes; those who don't are cowards.
"Bai Chen, let's talk this out. There's no need to resort to violence!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi also spoke up at this time. Although he was wary of the great Merit and Fortune on Bai Chen, he had to speak up as Di Jun's younger brother.
Of course, out of consideration for Bai Chen's great Merit and Fortune, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was unwilling to fight Bai Chen unless absolutely necessary.
"Vice Cult Leader Bai Chen, we're all on the same side, there's no need to fight and ruin our harmony."
Bai Ze also started to mediate, adding the suffix "Vice Cult Leader" to Bai Chen Bai Chen's title in an attempt to appease him.
Strength determines status. In the past, Bai Chen did not reveal his strength and only relied on Nuwa for support. Although Bai Ze was afraid of Bai Chen, he was more afraid of Bai Chen's backer, Nuwa.
Now that Bai Chen has gained enough strength, Bai Ze has no choice but to fear him and thus respect him even more.
"Who among you is one of us?"
"Bai Ze, you claim to be a wise man among the demons, don't you recognize your own identity?"
Bai Chen absolutely refused to acknowledge being in cahoots with Bai Ze and his group; he considered these guys to be monsters, servants and pawns of Nuwa.
But Great God Bai Chen, is Innate Divine Beast and a close friend of Nuwa.
These monsters, do they even deserve to be compared to the Great God Bai Chen?
Bai Ze was already immune to Bai Chen's attitude.
When the demon race was first established, this cat looked down on them. Now that the cat's strength has greatly increased, it's only natural that it looks down on the demon race again.
"Vice Cult Leader Bai Chen, since you are dissatisfied with the Empress receiving half of the demon Merit and Fortune, then we will not give it to her."
In order to stop Bai Chen from taking action, Bai Ze immediately agreed to take back the Merit and Fortune that would have been given to Xihe.
