Caught off guard for a moment, he had actually found himself at a disadvantage!
Once he came to his senses, Eastern Emperor Taiyi grew furious. On the spot, he controlled the Eastern Emperor Bell and sent it smashing toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass hurriedly prepared to block it with Sword Intent, but before the Eastern Emperor Bell could strike Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass—
A figure suddenly descended into the middle of the battlefield!
That person directly sent Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Eastern Emperor Bell flying, then stood with his hands behind his back.
The moment Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw him, his expression changed drastically. He frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Di Jun, what are you doing here?! This is a grudge between my Demon Clan and the Human Race. It has nothing to do with your Witch Clan. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
Di Jun rolled his eyes on the spot. Eastern Emperor Taiyi was as shameless as ever.
A grudge?
It was clearly Eastern Emperor Taiyi bullying others with his power!
Di Jun mocked him without mercy. "I'm going to meddle in your Demon Clan's affairs simply because I can't stand your arrogant, eyes-above-the-top behavior. What's wrong with that? You're allowed to run rampant and bully others, but the Human Race isn't allowed to seek help?"
Seeing that Di Jun had exposed him, Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately grew furious with embarrassment. He frowned and said, "Di Jiang, since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for killing you today!"
Furious, Eastern Emperor Taiyi controlled the Eastern Emperor Bell with one hand while directing the horde of demons with the other, planning to kill Di Jiang on the spot!
After all, the Demon Clan and Witch Clan had been enemies for a long time. If he could use this opportunity to completely kill one of the Witch Clan's Ancestral Witches, wouldn't that accomplish two goals at once?
However, Di Jiang did not move at all. He simply looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi as if he were a fool.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not understand what was going on and was about to charge forward again!
But just then, several figures from the Witch Clan suddenly descended from the sky.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not dare fight them head-on and immediately came to a complete stop!
Zhu Rong watched Eastern Emperor Taiyi with his hands on his hips and complained softly, "Big Brother, you were walking far too fast. Luckily, we managed to catch up."
Di Jun merely smiled without saying anything, then looked coldly at Eastern Emperor Taiyi. "Do you want to fight? Shall we start now?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi: ...
What the hell am I supposed to fight with?
Six of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had come at once. How was he supposed to fight them?
But cowardly or not, the Demon Emperor could not lose his presence!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not dare truly fight the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but he could not afford to lose face either. Thus, he said coldly, "Hmph! Di Jiang, do you really intend to fight me? Aren't you afraid that all six of your Ancestral Witches will die by my hand?"
Given the Demon Clan's habit of bullying the weak while cowering before the strong, how could they possibly dare to fight them for real?
Still, the atmosphere turned cold at that moment. The Demon Clan, Witch Clan, and Human Race faced one another, and none of them was willing to take a step back!
After estimating that the coward Eastern Emperor Taiyi would not make a move, Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass instantly retracted its radiance and returned to its Cave Abode.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi watched Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass leave right in front of him, yet he did not dare say a word!
At this critical moment, Di Jun arrived.
Di Jun frowned and glanced at Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass and the six Ancestral Witches. He then said to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, "Second Brother, the Heavenly Court has just lost a treasured item. Hurry and come back with me to investigate!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been standing there so long that he felt his palms were about to sweat. When he saw Di Jun giving him a way out, he immediately took it!
"Hmph! If the Heavenly Court had not lost a treasured item today, all of you would have died on Human Race territory!"
After delivering that threat, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun returned to the Heavenly Court at lightning speed.
Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass: ...
Ancestral Witches: ...
Human Race: ...
This really was the Demon Clan's usual style!
In the entire Primordial World, only the Demon Clan could pull off something like this!
After Eastern Emperor Taiyi led the Demon Clan's army away, the many members of the Human Race all breathed sighs of relief.
The Three Ancestors hurriedly went forward as well. After Suirenshi bowed to Di Jiang, he said, "Many thanks, Lord Di Jiang, for saving the lives of our Human Race!"
Seeing Suirenshi bow, the other members of the Human Race naturally refused to be outdone and all bowed to Di Jiang.
Di Jiang merely waved his hand casually, then said to Suirenshi, "I felt a certain affinity with that Lord Nine Swords just now. I'd like to meet him."
Suirenshi froze. "Ah, this..."
Why did so many people want to meet their Human Race's guardian?
Before Suirenshi could answer, Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass's voice came from inside the Cave Abode.
"Let him in."
Suirenshi immediately nodded and led Di Jiang to the Cave Abode where Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass was staying.
At that moment, the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain had quite a different opinion of this matter.
Laozi sighed and said, "The Human Race really has suffered one disaster after another!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerate said dismissively, "In the Primordial World, the fittest survive. This is nothing unusual."
