Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
"Damn monster, you'd better leave Wa Saint Heaven right now, or I'll break your legs!"
Enraged, Bai Chen pulled out the Heaven Measuring Ruler and issued an order to leave.
Faced with Bai Chen's threat of the Heaven Measuring Ruler and the hidden meaning in his words, Fuxi could only grit his teeth and leave.
On the way back to Heavenly Court, Fuxi was furious.
"Damn it! Not only did I not see Nuwa this time, but I also got punched by Bai Chen and now I have no choice but to jump into Bai Chen's trap!"
"Fine, for the sake of Nuwa's reputation, I'll have to bear this infamy."
Because of Bai Chen's words, Fuxi was somewhat awakened, and thus he decided to forge Nuwa's Imperial Decree and agree to the demon race's slaughter of humans.
Fuxi decided to wait until the demon race had successfully slaughtered the humans before publicly claiming that he had impersonated Nuwa's Imperial Decree.
At that time, it would be Fuxi's crime of falsely conveying the sage's Imperial Decree, but Nuwa would not bear the infamy of the demon race slaughtering people.
Fuxi had to admit that Bai Chen's scheme was truly ruthless.
This cat wants Fuxi to take all the responsibility, but even though he knows it's Bai Chen's scheme, he still has no choice but to jump in.
After figuring things out, Fuxi did not return to the Heavenly Court immediately, but instead took a stroll outside.
After all, the eye makeup Bai Chen had done on him with his fist hadn't faded yet. If he went back to Heavenly Court now, wouldn't that just tell everyone that Fuxi had been beaten up by Bai Chen again?
Even Fuxi himself has a sense of honor, so he absolutely cannot go back now.
After his 'eye makeup' was restored, Fuxi returned to Heavenly Court Lingxiao Treasure Hall, where those guys were still waiting for his 'good news'!
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, upon seeing Fuxi's return, the demon race's high-ranking members were greeted by Di Jun was the first to speak:
"Xi Huang, has the Empress Nuwa agreed to the demon race's slaughter of humans and the forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword?"
The matter of slaughtering people to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword was extremely important to Di Jun, and he couldn't wait to get the news from Fuxi.
"Um!"
Fuxi nodded, then spoke:
"My sister has agreed to let the demon race slaughter humans."
This was the first time Fuxi had falsely conveyed Nuwa's Imperial Decree. Despite his calm demeanor, he was actually a little nervous inside.
At the same time, he wondered why Bai Chen was so confident when he falsely conveyed his younger sister's divine Imperial Decree, as if it were the real one.
Bai Chen: The reason is simple: you listen to Nuwa, but Nuwa listens to me, the great goddess.
Therefore, my words are the Imperial Decree of Nuwa, and thus there is no false transmission of the Imperial Decree of the sage.
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun was overjoyed, and he had no doubt that this good news was an imposter from Fuxi.
Di Jun did not doubt the authenticity of this news for two reasons: first, this was the answer he wanted; second, he did not expect Fuxi to have the audacity to falsely convey the Imperial Decree of the sage.
"Heavenly Emperor, do not forget the compensation to the human race!"
Seeing Fuxi's smugness, Fuxi still offered a word of advice, hoping to alleviate his own guilt towards the human race.
"Xi Huang, rest assured!"
Di Jun readily agreed. For him, forging the Witch-Slaying Sword was the most important thing right now; everything else was trivial.
"Your Heavenly Emperor, Empress Nuwa has agreed, but the Saint Taiqing has not yet expressed his opinion."
Bai Ze suggested to Di Jun that he shouldn't get too cocky too soon.
After all, Laozi, the Leader of the Human Sect of the Taiqing sect, had some connection with the human race.
If the other party does not agree to the demon race slaughtering people, the demon race really cannot slaughter people, otherwise they will offend the Supreme Laozi Taiqing, or even the entire Three Pure Ones.
"Heavenly Emperor, you two brothers had some misunderstandings with the Saint Taiqing earlier, which caused an unpleasant situation."
"You and Xi Huang should go and pay homage to the Saint Taiqing of Saint Taiqing, sincerely apologize to him, and earnestly plead your case."
"Eastern Emperor, you shall guard the Heavenly Court to prevent any trouble from arising Heavenly Court."
In order to get this matter sorted out, Bai Ze clearly assigned tasks to Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Fuxi.
Honestly, if Bai Ze hadn't been afraid that Kunpeng and his gang would cause trouble in Heavenly Court and he wouldn't have been able to suppress them...
Otherwise, he wanted Eastern Emperor Taiyi to go with Di Jun and the others to apologize to Taiqing Laozi, to show their sincerity, and to ask Taiqing Laozi to allow the demon race to slaughter humans.
"Can!"
Di Jun and the others agreed to Bai Ze's arrangement. Just as he and Fuxi were about to head to the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, Bai Ze Fuxi them some special instructions to prevent them Laozi messing things up and displeasing Di Jun Taiqing.
After leaving the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Fuxi went to the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain as soon as possible to avoid causing any trouble.
There was no other way; Bai Chen had spies among the demon race's higher-ups, so Di Jun had to act quickly!
Outside Shouyang Mountain, Di Jun and Fuxi bowed and paid their respects to the Eight Views Palace atop the mountain, saying:
"We request an audience with the Saint Taiqing!"
Although the sage Taiqing Laozi is outwardly considered a neutral sage by the demon race.
However, due to the early grudges between Di Jun and his brothers and the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing Laozi was one of those who had one foot in the camp of the opposing sages, so Di Jun and Fuxi had to prepare all the proper etiquette.
As Di Jun and Fuxi requested an audience, the gates of the Eight Views Palace were soon opened, and Xuan Du came out to greet them.
Led by Xuan Du, Di Jun and Fuxi entered the Eight Views Palace. Upon arriving at the main hall and seeing Taiqing Laozi residing high above, they quickly bowed and paid their respects.
"We pay our respects to the Saint Taiqing!"
After Taiqing Laozi gestured for Di Jun and Fuxi to dispense with the formalities, Taiqing Laozi inquired:
"What brings you to see me?"
Taiqing Laozi had actually deduced the intentions of Di Jun and Fuxi, but he had to pretend not to know and go through the motions in order to shift the blame.
"Saint Taiqing, the Witch Clan is now wreaking havoc in the Primordial World, waging war against all races and killing countless people."
We humbly beseech the Saint Taiqing to have mercy and allow our demon race to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, defeat the Witch Clan, and Primordial World and order to the primordial Qiankun.
When my demon race becomes the protagonist of the Primordial World world and governs Primordial World, my demon race will surely compensate the human race."
Di Jun and Fuxi spoke in unison, spouting platitudes and attempting to sway Taiqing Laozi with their rhetoric of righteousness.
Taiqing Laozi was speechless at all the nonsense spouted by Di Jun and Fuxi.
Are the Witch Clan no good, but the demons all good?
The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are both equally bad, neither of them are any good. Don't judge the elder brother by his own standards.
Although Taiqing Laozi was unwilling to agree to the demon race's slaughter of humans, it was the Great Dao's Destiny, and as Heavenly Dao Saint, he had to comply with the Great Dao's Destiny.
Taiqing Laozi stared at Di Jun and Fuxi and asked:
"Junior Sister Nuwa is the Human Mother Goddess. Did she ever agree to the demon race slaughtering humans and forging the Witch-Slaying Sword?"
Taiqing Laozi needs an answer, an answer that allows him to shift the blame.
Di Jun did not answer, but instead gestured for Fuxi to speak quickly.
"Reporting to the Saint Taiqing, my sister has agreed to the demon race's slaughter of humans."
Fuxi bowed respectfully, and Fuxi could only bite the bullet and reply.
To be honest, Fuxi was very nervous, because the person opposite him was the sage Taiqing Laozi.
He is now deceiving a saint, and if he is exposed, it will be a crime of deceiving a saint.
"Well!"
After receiving Fuxi's answer, Taiqing Laozi sighed and said helplessly:
"My Junior Sister Nuwa is the Human Mother Goddess. Since she agrees to the demon race's slaughter of humans, I shouldn't overstep my bounds."
"But I am the Leader of the Human Sect, and even if my Junior Sister Nuwa dislikes me, I must preserve the human race's lineage."
Therefore, the demon race can slaughter humans, but they must not sever the human race's life force, nor Three Ancestors of the Human Race; at least 30% of the human race's life force must be spared."
Taiqing Laozi agreed to allow the demon race to slaughter humans and forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, but he also put forward his own requirements.
Taiqing Laozi is the Leader of the Human Sect, so naturally he has to protect the human race and prevent these demons from going too far.
After all, if the demon race were to truly wipe out the human race, who would his Human Religion educate?
"I will humbly obey the Imperial Decree of the Saint Taiqing!"
Upon seeing that Taiqing Laozi had agreed to allow the demon race to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, Di Jun quickly bowed and paid his respects.
Although Taiqing Laozi had a lot of demands, Di Jun only needed the other party to agree to refine the demon race to slaughter people.
Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the false Imperial Decree from Nuwa had fooled Taiqing Laozi; he had been terrified just now.
The question is, did he really Laozi Taiqing?
After Taiqing Laozi agreed to allow the demon race to slaughter humans and forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, Di Jun bowed again and said with a stiff upper lip:
"Saint Taiqing, we need some Shouyang Copper to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword. Please grant Saint Taiqing your permission."
Di Jun didn't want to be so shameless, but the Shouyang Copper was a necessity!
Bai Chen: Hey, you dead bird, you want the Shouyang Copper? Why are you coming to me, the Taiqing Laozi, instead of me?
You must understand that Shouyang Mountain is the territory of the Great God Bai Chen; Taiqing Laozi is merely a tenant!
"There's a mine to the east, let's go!"
After Taiqing Laozi finished speaking, he gestured for Di Jun Di Jun Fuxi to get lost.
"Thank Saint Taiqing!"
After bowing and exchanging greetings, Di Jun and Fuxi left the Eight Views Palace.
After Di Jun and Fuxi left, Taiqing Laozi sneered:
