Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)

However, because Eastern Emperor Taiyi was keeping a close eye on it, it couldn't find an opportunity.

Bai Chen's previous remarks were intended to scare Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi into seclusion.

As long as Eastern Emperor Taiyi goes into seclusion, Great God Bai Chen, will be able to take action against Xihe and Fuxi.

After the meeting in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall ended, people from Di Jun's faction were on the road discussing how to deal with Bai Chen, who was permanently stationed in the Heavenly Court.

As for Fuxi, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Di Jun group, so he left alone and returned to his own Daoist temple Xi Huang Palace.

Di Jun and the others may fear Bai Chen, Fuxi may not!

The Demon Saint Fei Dan was the first to speak, saying:

"Heavenly Emperor, I have recently had a vague feeling that I am about to sever my two corpses, so I will return to Lingxiao Palace for seclusion."

Now that Bai Chen is a permanent resident of the Heavenly Court, even the Heavenly Court is no longer safe. The Demon Saint Fei Dan feels it's safer to stay in his own little nest.

It should be noted that Bai Chen's greatest enemies are the Di Jun family and Fuxi.

As long as I don't see Di Jun and the others for a while, Di Jun will draw Bai Chen's attention.

As long as Bai Chen doesn't see me, he shouldn't bother someone as insignificant as me.

"Go!"

Di Jun naturally saw through the Demon Saint Fei Dan's little scheme, but he didn't point it out.

Because pointing it out won't change anything, and you might even end up feeling embarrassed yourself.

Moreover, the Demon Saint Fei Dan was initially a neutral party who defected to him.

The fact that the other party is merely hiding and hasn't sought refuge with Bai Chen is already a sign of respect.

Demon Saint Fei Dan: Di Jun, do you think I don't want to pledge allegiance to Bai Chen?

It's mainly that bastard Ying Zhao who took my path, leaving me with nowhere to go.

"Your Heavenly Emperor, I will also be going into seclusion soon."

"Your Heavenly Emperor, so do I!"

When Di Jun agreed to the Fei Dan of the Demon Saint Demon Saint Jiu Ying and Gui Che, they immediately followed suit.

We've been stuck at the mid-stage of the One-Corpse Quasi-Saint for so long, isn't it reasonable for us to go into seclusion and try to break through to a higher realm?

"Why are you two imitating the Demon Saint Fei Dan like this?"

"Where did you all go? How did you get so scared by Bai Chen?"

Di Jun was very disappointed with Jiu Ying and Gui Che. These two were the first to follow him, the Demon Saint, and they actually tried to hide like the Demon Saint Fei Dan.

"Heavenly Emperor, it's not that we've changed, it's that the times have changed!"

What was Bai Chen's strength before? What is Bai Chen's strength now?

"..."

Jiu Ying and Gui Che rattled off a bunch of things, basically saying that they couldn't afford to mess with Bai Chen, so they should just hide!

"You also think that I am inferior to Bai Chen?"

Di Jun understood the hidden meaning in Jiu Ying and Gui Che's words and questioned the two of them.

To prevent Jiu Ying, Gui Che, Di Jun from fighting, Bai Ze quickly intervened to mediate.

"Your Heavenly Emperor, now that Bai Chen's cultivation has improved, everyone should also go into seclusion to improve their cultivation."

"This way, we can avoid being targeted by Bai Chen, improve our cultivation, and serve you better in the future. It's a win-win solution."

Bai Ze knew that Bai Chen's actions this time had severely suppressed the Di Jun family, causing Di Jun's status in everyone's eyes to plummet!

If Di Jun were to fall out with Jiu Ying and Gui Che now, Jiu Ying and Gui Che might very well go and seek refuge with Bai Chen.

"Go into seclusion if you want!"

"However, I must remind you, while you are in seclusion, don't let your retainers be controlled by them and thus sideline you!"

Bai Ze had already spoken up to smooth things over, so Di Jun had no choice but to go along with it and leave the stage.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still gave the other party a heads-up.

"Heavenly Emperor, this~"

Upon hearing this Jiu Ying and Gui Che's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant, and they hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you have to say!"

Di Jun was furious at the hesitant expressions on Jiu Ying and Gui Che's faces. These were all his own people; why couldn't they just say what they wanted to say?

"Heavenly Emperor, is it possible that we've already been sidelined?"

Jiu Ying was speechless. These Demon Saint of his had long been sidelined; was it appropriate for Di Jun to say such a thing?

"Heavenly Emperor, not only have our Demon God, demon kings, and billions of demon soldiers been placed on the Monster Summoning Banner, but even the five of us have been placed on Monster Summoning Banner!"

Gui Che reminded Di Jun of their current situation: they had all been completely sidelined.

How else can Bai Chen and his gang undermine their power over themselves and Jiu Ying?

"Forehead!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun felt extremely embarrassed. Indeed, according to Jiu Ying and Gui Che, it wasn't just them who were being sidelined; even he, the Heavenly Emperor, was being usurped!

Originally, he was the Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the master of the demon race. How did he suddenly become like this?

It seems to have started after Nuwa joined the Heavenly Court and became a Nuwa!

Perhaps he shouldn't have invited Nuwa to join the Heavenly Court in the first place; then, as the Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

When Di Jun thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Ze. It was this guy who suggested inviting Nuwa to join the Heavenly Court.

Of course, Di Jun also understood that Bai Ze was doing it for the good of the Heavenly Court.

If Nuwa hadn't joined the demon race, the demon race might have perished long ago.

If I'm not mistaken, they might perish at the hands of Nuwa, who attained sainthood.

"Once I attain sainthood, I will erase the Primordial Spirit Mark of the Monster Summoning Banner from you and grant you your freedom!"

"Go back and cultivate!"

After regaining his senses, Di Jun offered Jiu Ying and Gui Che a rosy picture of their future before waving his hand to indicate that they could leave.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

After bowing to each other, Jiu Ying and Gui Che left to return to their respective homes.

As for the grand promises made by Di Jun, they were no longer very optimistic about them.

After Fei Dan, Jiu Ying, and Gui Che left one after another, Bai Ze said to Di Jun and his family of three:

"Heavenly Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Empress, you should also continue your seclusion for the time being, since Bai Chen is definitely keeping a close eye on you."

Bai Ze knew that Bai Chen's main target was definitely the Di Jun family.

That's why he suggested that Di Jun's family also use the pretext of seclusion to hide away for a while.

Di Jun frowned. Even though he knew Bai Ze meant well, he was still somewhat unhappy.

"Bai Ze, if I go into seclusion, won't this Evil Cat run rampant in the Heavenly Court?"

"Who knows, one day Bai Chen might make Kunpeng and the others step aside to welcome the Witch Clan!"

Now that Bai Chen is in the Heavenly Court, and with a bunch of lackeys around, he's genuinely afraid that by the time he goes into seclusion, the Heavenly Court will have already undergone a change of dynasty.

Or perhaps, while he was in seclusion, Bai Chen colluded with the Witch Clan Witch Clan and allowed them to enter the Heavenly Court.

By then, I'm afraid the Ancestral Witch will have already stormed in before I even emerge from seclusion.

"Cough cough cough!"

Bai Ze coughed lightly and said with a wry smile:

"Heavenly Emperor, opening the gates to welcome the Witch Clan is too exaggerated."

Even if Bai Chen had this idea, Empress Nuwa would not allow it.

Nuwa and Houtu didn't get along well because of Bai Chen. Nuwa didn't like Bai Chen having too much contact with the Witch Clan, which was obvious to everyone.

Therefore, Bai Ze was certain that Nuwa would never allow Bai Chen to open the gates to welcome the Witch Clan.

Moreover, Bai Ze had already guessed Nuwa's intention in sending Bai Chen to the Heavenly Court this time—to have this cat suppress Di Jun and his group.

As long as Di Jun and his group avoid direct confrontation, admit defeat to Bai Chen, and satisfy Nuwa, Nuwa will naturally call Bai Chen back.

Bai Ze earnestly advised Di Jun:

"Heavenly Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Empress, you should know that if you don't go into seclusion, Bai Chen will definitely keep an eye on you and use any leverage against you!"

"If you go into seclusion, Bai Chen might not be able to find any fault with you, and he might get bored and leave the Heavenly Court on his own!"

As Di Jun's strategist and chief advisor, Bai Ze knew very well that Di Jun's family had serious problems with their daily conduct, making it easy for Bai Chen to find fault with them.

What Bai Ze feared was that Bai Chen wouldn't try to find fault with Di Jun's family, but rather that the cat would create fault out of Di Jun and cause trouble.

After all, Bai Chen is most adept at creating trouble out of nothing, thus escalating minor issues into major ones.

Bai Ze felt that it was best for Di Jun's family to hide from Bai Chen under the pretense of seclusion, so that the cat would have no excuse to cause trouble.

Even if the cat fabricates some incriminating evidence out of thin air, even if I can't exonerate Di Jun's family, I can guarantee that it won't cause too much trouble.

After hearing this, Di Jun analyzed the situation and found that what Bai Ze said made a lot of sense.

However, there is still a very serious problem at present.

Di Jun turned his gaze to Bai Ze and asked:

"But if my brother and I go into seclusion, who will look after the Heavenly Court?"

In fact, the meaning behind Di Jun's Di Jun was already self-evident.
