Nuwa furrowed her brows, thought it over, and in the end decided to meet Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
After all, no matter what, she was still the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race.
"Taiyi greets Empress Nuwa."
Though they were both Demon Emperors, Nuwa was a saint, so even Eastern Emperor Taiyi had to bow to Empress Nuwa.
Nuwa waved a hand and said with a calm expression, "No need for such courtesy. I wonder, what brings you here this time?"
Nuwa was somewhat displeased with Eastern Emperor Taiyi's conduct of leading the Demon Race to bully the Human Race by relying on their strength. But as the Demon Emperor, so long as the Demon Race did not go too far, it was not easy for her to say anything.
Moreover, the Human Race had suffered no loss this time. Instead, it was the Demon Race who had eaten a mute's bitter loss.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was someone with no eye for the situation at all. He did not notice Nuwa's perfunctoriness in the slightest, and first said to Nuwa, "Oh, I sensed that Empress Nuwa had emerged from seclusion, so I specially came to offer congratulations."
Nuwa wanted to roll her eyes right then. She did not believe Eastern Emperor Taiyi was so kindhearted.
Still, she smiled and said, "How thoughtful of you."
After that, Eastern Emperor Taiyi made a few more bits of idle chatter before asking, "Empress Nuwa, there is one thing I do not understand. That blade of grass in the Human Race's territory—was it something you gave to the Human Race to shelter them?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi had come this time not only to ask Nuwa about this matter, but even more so to test Nuwa's attitude toward the Human Race.
Nuwa knew Eastern Emperor Taiyi's purpose. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
That blade of grass had nothing to do with her either way. If Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not know what was good for him and still wanted to go to the Human Race, then it would have nothing to do with her...
When Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw Nuwa shake her head, understanding immediately dawned in his heart.
It was not given by Empress Nuwa?
Then things would be easy. There was no need to be wary of Nuwa!
However, just in case, Eastern Emperor Taiyi still pressed on, "Since you did not give it to the Human Race, then do you know how that blade of grass appeared among the Human Race?"
When Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked up to this point, Nuwa was already somewhat impatient. She directly dismissed him by saying, "It should have been given to the Human Race by some hateful Grand Unity."
The moment she thought of Chen Sheng's face, Nuwa could not help but hate him until her teeth itched!
To think that she, the mighty Nuwa, had actually been bullied by a Grand Unity?!
Hmph. Letting Eastern Emperor Taiyi cause Chen Sheng a bit of trouble would also be excellent!
Hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was slightly stunned.
A Grand Unity?
The master of that blade of grass was actually a mere Grand Unity?
It seemed Elder Brother Di Jun's words had not been entirely right. It seemed that blade of grass had no backing at all!
At the same time, Eastern Emperor Taiyi remembered the matter of being wounded by a blade of grass.
He was the dignified Demon Emperor, yet he had actually been wounded by a blade of grass. Where was he, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, supposed to put his face?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi truly could not swallow this breath. Seeing that the blade of grass had no backing, an idea immediately formed in his heart.
After taking his leave of Nuwa, Eastern Emperor Taiyi went straight back to the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun was waiting for Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Seeing Eastern Emperor Taiyi return, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Taiyi, what did Empress Nuwa say?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi sneered, his gaze dark and unreadable as he said, "Empress Nuwa said that the blade of grass was not something she gave to the Human Race, but was given to the Human Race by a Grand Unity. It has no backing at all!"
Hearing this, Di Jun's eyes shifted slightly, a cold gleam showing in them.
Previously, he had stopped Eastern Emperor Taiyi only because he had some misgivings.
Now that he knew that blade of grass had not come from Empress Nuwa's hand, he naturally had to take revenge!
"Hmph. How can my Demon Race suffer humiliation from a blade of grass? Taiyi, take the forces of my Demon Race to the Human Race at once. You must punish that blade of grass on Mount Zhou!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi understood at once. The corner of his mouth hooked up as he said, "Don't worry, Elder Brother. Taiyi will definitely slay that blade of grass, and by doing so restore the face of my Demon Race."
After that, the Demon Race began making preparations with beating gongs and tight drums, looking very much as though a great battle were imminent!
The beings of the Primordial World were all somewhat dumbfounded. Could it be that the Demon Race was going to stir up trouble with the Witch Clan again?
But next, the direction the Demon Race went made all the beings of the Primordial World drop their spectacles—they actually went to the Human Race!?
Soon, the Demon Race led its great army and rushed toward the Human Race!
Where had the Human Race ever seen such a scene?
Seeing the dark, crushing Demon Race army, their hearts immediately filled with terror!
"This... didn't the Demon Race only beat the drums and withdraw their troops a few days ago? Why have they come to my Human Race again?"
"They even brought so many Demon Soldiers with them. Could they want to go to war with my Human Race?"
"With so many from the Demon Race coming, what are we supposed to do?"
"Hmph! What are you afraid of them for? My Human Race also has Lord Nine Swords holding the fort!"
Though they said this, looking at such a grand scene, the Human Race was still terrified beyond measure.
Very soon, the Demon Race's great army directly pressed down upon the border of the Human Race's territory.
