Dong Wanggong Has Become Arrogant

Dijiang refused to accept this and said, "So what if you're the Dao Ancestor? Just because you say we can't fight, we can't fight? If the two of them hand over Mount Sumeru, we won't attack them. Otherwise, since the Demon Clan says it wants to use Mount Sumeru as a battlefield, my Witch Clan agrees too. If we can't take it down, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Witches?"

Hongjun replied, "No matter. I'll mediate on your behalf." With that, Hongjun called out, "From today onward, the Witch and Demon Clans must not engage in a great war for five yuanhui. The Witch Clan will control the land, and the Demon Clan will control the skies."

And just like that, the first Witch-Demon War in the Primordial Wilderness was suppressed. On the Sun Star, Xuanxiao said, "See? I knew my guess was right. Hongjun owes the West a karmic debt, so he can only protect them. But he can't protect them openly, so he has no choice but to suppress the war between the Witches and Demons for now."

"Ding. Hongjun's second lecture is approaching. Mission issued: sow discord between Wuzhuang Temple and Mount Sumeru. Mission reward: Heaven Measuring Ruler."

Inside the system space, a mature beauty casually issued a mission.

Luohu said, "You're only issuing missions without giving any guidance on how to carry them out? Is this how you raise a child?"

The mature beauty frowned and said, "What? You haven't even married him yet, and you're already taking his side? Wait until my true body brings back the Demonic Path Origin and I restore my body. Then we'll talk."

The beautiful Luohu was so angry that she waved her arms and bared her teeth. "Once I restore my true body, the first thing I'll do is take this child in. Hmph. By the way, what about the tree bark of Jieyin and Zhunti that you promised we'd pull out together?"

The mature beauty said, "Why are you in such a hurry? They can't run away... Let's watch the show first. Don't you want to stir things up so that the Heavenly Dao kicks Hongjun out of the Heavenly Dao's space when he's about to Merge with the Dao?"

Luohu's eyes lit up. "Good, let's do that. You can see the River of Destiny, so we'll cause trouble for him together and make his merging with the Dao unstable. Let's anger that utter scumbag."

While the two of them were chatting in the system space, Xuanxiao had already arrived outside Wuzhuang Temple. He called out, "Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, Xuanxiao of Kunlun Mountain requests an audience."

Zhenyuanzi hurried out and said, "One of the three Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan from the Sun Star? Little Friend Xuanxiao, you've done some impressive things lately."

Xuanxiao said, "The Witch Clan wanted to fight my clan over the Orthodox Descendant of Pangu, so I gave them something to do. Besides, the Witch Clan has committed too much slaughter and should be disciplined. Oh, right—I came today to freeload on some Ginseng Fruits."

Zhenyuanzi laughed heartily. "Little Friend, you came at just the right time. Hong Yun and I have just established our Dao Companion relationship. You can serve as our witness today. As for the Ginseng Fruits, eat your fill."

Hong Yun came out in a dazzlingly beautiful outfit of red boots and a red dress. "Exactly. Eat as many Ginseng Fruits as you like today. But you definitely didn't come only for some fruit, did you?"

Xuanxiao said, "Naturally not. I came to form a good connection with Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi. I received some information that the origin of the Bodhi Tree on Mount Sumeru would benefit the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Do you think we have a chance to go and give it a try?"

Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi shook his head. "Although Jieyin and Zhunti of Mount Sumeru are somewhat shameless in their daily conduct, they're not easy to provoke. Let's forget it."

Hong Yun said, "Since Little Friend Xuanxiao came to make this suggestion, he must have some ideas."

Xuanxiao laughed loudly. "Of course. Although Jieyin and Zhunti aren't weak, the Western lands don't have many experts. As long as we find an opportunity—say, when the two of them leave—we can pull out the tree and run. With the Earth Book in your hands, blocking their divinations shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Upon hearing this, Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up. "In that case, this isn't impossible after all."

Meanwhile, on Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti began discussing the matter. Jieyin said, "This time, it was only because the Dao Ancestor personally intervened that Mount Sumeru was preserved. But, Junior Brother, we can't rely entirely on the Dao Ancestor."

Zhunti asked, "Senior Brother, what do you think we should do?"

Jieyin said, "Why don't we find a powerful faction to shelter us?"

Zhunti nodded. "We definitely can't go to the Witch Clan. We might get stewed by those Witches. As for the Demon Clan... That brat Xuanxiao is one of the Demon Emperors there, so we wouldn't have an easy time either. Why don't we go to Dong Wanggong's Immortal Court? Dong Wanggong isn't much stronger than us, and he won't look down on us."

Jieyin agreed as well. Thus, the two Senior and Junior Brothers headed to Penglai Island to seek refuge with Dong Wanggong and join the Immortal Court. With two Great Luo cultivators at the late stage—Jieyin and Zhunti—joining him, Dong Wanggong became somewhat arrogant.
