Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
After all, Bai Chen's image is that he's willing to do anything as long as the benefits are right.
"You really underestimate Bai Chen. It's true that Bai Chen is greedy for profit."
However, while it is greedy for profit, it has its bottom line and will not be an enemy of Empress Nuwa, Houtu, or Xuanming.
Bai Ze had already analyzed some of Bai Chen 'Bai Chen behaviors and had some understanding of the cat's temperament.
Bai Ze's words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present, who undoubtedly felt that it was unlikely they could borrow the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck the brilliant Di Jun.
"We definitely won't be able to borrow the Heaven Measuring Ruler if we go directly to Bai Chen."
But we can have Fuxi go to Empress Nuwa to borrow the Heaven Measuring Ruler, and then Empress Nuwa will order Bai Chen to lend Heaven Measuring Ruler out."
"I remember that the relationship between Empress Nuwa, Houtu, and Xuanming was not very good!"
Di Jun thought that by taking advantage of the poor relationship between Nuwa, Houtu, and Xuanming, and having Nuwa put pressure on Bai Chen, it wouldn't be a problem to borrow the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
"Your Heavenly Emperor, what a brilliant plan!"
The other high-ranking members of the demon race echoed this sentiment. After all, the fact that Nuwa, Houtu, and Xuanming had fallen out over the cat had spread among the Innate Great God in private.
Among the high-ranking members of the demon race, all except Bai Ze thought it was feasible.
When Di Jun saw that his proposal had the support of everyone, he couldn't help but feel proud.
He had already envisioned using Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler to defeat the Witch Clan, making the Demon Clan the protagonist of the world, and achieving sainthood himself.
As for the Heaven Measuring Ruler, after he attained sainthood, he naturally wouldn't return it.
After all, I borrowed it through my own abilities, so why should I pay it back?
After he attains sainthood, he can use the Heaven Measuring Ruler to turn against Nuwa.
At that time, he would have the Hetu Luoshu for setting up the Primordial Chaos Luo Great Array, the Heaven Measuring Ruler, and his younger brother Taiyi's Chaos Bell, which would be enough to deal with Nuwa.
"Hehehe!"
Just as Di Jun was daydreaming, a cold laugh rang out, shattering his beautiful dream.
"Bai Chen will never listen to Empress Nuwa, so there is no way he can borrow the Heaven Measuring Ruler."
Moreover, if Bai Chen knew that we were after its Heaven Measuring Ruler, it would surely storm the Heavenly Court."
"At that time, apart from Eastern Emperor, we will all be in mortal danger!"
Bai Ze couldn't understand how Di Jun came up with such a terrible idea, especially since others were agreeing with it.
Are these guys all tired of living and want to court death?
Are they really not afraid of courting death, of actually killing themselves?
And Di Jun, does he really think he doesn't know what he's up to?
He's been plotting rebellion all day long. The day Nuwa stops caring about appearances and stops hiding Nuwa true intentions, Di Jun will be doomed.
After analyzing Bai Ze's statement, everyone agreed that it seemed to be true. After all, Bai Chen was rebellious by nature, Nuwa couldn't really command the cat.
"Since we can't borrow this Heaven Measuring Ruler, let's not borrow it to avoid getting into trouble!"
"Yes, yes!"
The four great Demon Saint, Jiu Ying, Fei Dan, Gui Che, Ci Tie, quickly changed their tune, expressing their opposition to borrowing Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler.
After all, Bai Chen dared to be ruthless towards Fuxi, who was Nuwa's brother, let alone those of us without any backing.
If Bai Chen really storms the Heavenly Court, we're all doomed.
"Since you're not going to borrow the Heaven Measuring Ruler, do you have a way to forge an offensive treasure that can counter the Ancestor Witch True Body?"
Di Jun was furious when Bai Ze rejected his suggestion.
Despite his anger, Di Jun knew that Bai Ze was right.
If Bai Chen is angered, it would be troublesome if that cat came to Heavenly Court to cause trouble.
"Heavenly Emperor, although we lack the method to forge a supreme treasure to counter the offensive weapons of the Ancestral Witch, we can work together to deduce their power using the methods of the Hetu Luoshu, and the Chaos Bell."
Bai Ze, who was responsible for the intellectual aspect of the matter, spoke up and made a suggestion.
"Yes!"
Di Jun immediately understood Bai Ze's suggestion.
As the saying goes, "no sooner said than done," Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately led their men into action.
The brothers Di Jun unleashed the Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell, with themselves as the main force and the five great Demon Saint, including Bai Ze, as the assistants, to jointly deduce the weapon for slaying witches.
After an unknown amount of time spent deducing, they finally devised a weapon to exterminate witches.
They saw a precious sword that could destroy the Ancestor Witch True Body, but when they tried to deduce the method of forging the Witch-Slaying Sword, they were unable to do so for a long time.
"Heavenly Emperor, why don't we summon Xi Huang and Kunpeng to help us with the divination?"
At this moment, Bai Ze spoke up, estimating that the reason they couldn't deduce the solution at the crucial moment was because they lacked sufficient power.
If we could summon Fuxi and Kunpeng to help us deduce the Witch-Slaying Sword, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Them?"
When Di Jun heard that he was going to summon Fuxi and Kunpeng, his six lackeys, he frowned deeply.
Fuxi is alright, but what if Kunpeng's six lackeys sneak around and tell Bai Chen about forging the Witch-Slaying Sword, and then Bai Chen tells the Witch Clan?
Bai Ze saw through Di Jun's concerns and earnestly offered his advice:
"Heavenly Emperor, even with our combined efforts, we cannot deduce the method for forging the Witch-Slaying Sword."
"Only by summoning Xi Huang and Kunpeng, along with six others, can we possibly deduce the method for forging the Witch-Slaying Sword."
"Furthermore, if we don't bring Xi Huang and Kunpeng along, what if they slander them to Empress Nuwa?"
Bai Ze thought Di Jun was being foolish; leaking the information was better than not having the method for forging the Witch-Slaying Sword at all, right?
Moreover, given the current situation, Nuwa's blade is already at Di Jun's neck. If Di Jun is even slightly disobedient, he might just have his dog's head chopped off.
"Oh well, never mind!"
Di Jun sighed, and had no choice but to agree with what the other party said.
After receiving the notification, Fuxi and the other six, Kunpeng, rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall one by one.
"We have met the Heavenly Emperor!"
Because of Nuwa's Imperial Decree, Kunpeng and the others already considered Di Jun as dead.
However, Di Jun was not dead after all, and was still the nominal Heavenly Emperor of the demon race, so he still bowed to the other party.
Seeing that Fuxi and Kunpeng, his six lackeys, were still giving him attitude, Di Jun didn't cause any trouble and simply said:
"Xi Huang, Kunpeng, I will be frank. With a formidable enemy at hand, we should unite to fight against the Witch Clan. Let's put aside our past grievances."
Despite Di Jun's claim that past grievances are wiped clean, in reality, he only temporarily puts those grudges aside.
Di Jun planned to deal with the Witch Clan after he had attained enlightenment, and then settle scores with them.
"Your Heavenly Emperor, you are absolutely right!"
Fuxi already felt somewhat guilty towards Di Jun because of the fact that he had made Di Jun wear a hat.
Now that Di Jun, the victim, has offered to wipe the slate clean of past grievances, Fuxi is naturally more than happy to oblige.
"Heavenly Emperor, perhaps you have a mission for us?"
Kunpeng and Ji Meng ruthlessly exposed Di Jun, after all, they knew Di Jun too well, given his previous actions of abandoning his teammates and falsely accusing them.
Given Di Jun's personality, he would have loved to tear them to pieces.
Now that Di Jun has taken the initiative to bring up the matter of wiping it off, he must have something to ask of him.
"I have sought you out to jointly deduce the method for crafting a supreme treasure for attacking the physical body that can counter physical supernatural powers, in order to deal with the Twelve Ancestor Witches."
Di Jun knew there was no need to hide anything at this point, so he spoke frankly.
"We must perform a simulation!"
Upon hearing this, Fuxi immediately expressed his support.
He felt that this treasure, which could restrain physical supernatural powers, could be used against both the Ancestral Witch and Bai Chen, who possessed powerful physical supernatural powers.
Once he has refined that acquired offensive treasure that can counter physical supernatural powers, he will use it to deal with Bai Chen and avenge his previous humiliation.
"The Heavenly Emperor, is it truly intended to deal with the Twelve Ancestor Witches, and not to target Vice Cult Leader Bai Chen?"
"After all, Vice Cult Leader Bai Chen's physical body is also extremely powerful!"
Kunpeng and Ji Meng voiced their doubts, while Fei Lian and the other four lackeys seconded them.
"Kunpeng, we are all members of the Demon Cult, and Bai Chen is the Demon Cult Vice Leader. How could we possibly refine a spiritual treasure to deal with it?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Bai Ze quickly spoke up to defuse the conflict and prevent the two sides from falling out.
"Hehe!"
"Bai Ze, you all know the truth in your hearts."
Kunpeng, Ji Meng, and the others didn't buy into Bai Ze's act at all. After all, they were all Innate Great God who had cultivated for countless eons, and everyone knew what they were thinking.
Kunpeng felt they had to tell Bai Chen Bai Chen about this so he could be on guard.
After all, if Bai Chen, the leader, were to run into trouble, the underlings would have no one to back them up.
"Kunpeng, stop distorting the truth here. I haven't even settled accounts with you for the things you did to me before!"
"If you dare not cooperate in the deduction of the witch-slaying weapon this time, I will definitely report to my sister, and we will settle both the old and new scores together."
This weapon for slaying witches is Fuxi's only hope of defeating Bai Chen and washing away his shame, which is why he is making such harsh remarks here today.
