The Demon Alliance

Chapter 50: The Demon Alliance

"Fellow Daoist Shang Yang, have you heard of Blackwater City?"

"Blackwater City?" Hearing Shen Gui's words, Shang Yang sized him up. "So, you're not a cultivator from Southern Jambudvipa. Then why are you looking for me?"

"Fellow Daoist Shang Yang, why do you say that?" Shen Gui was slightly taken aback. "Why can't I visit Fellow Daoist Shang Yang if I'm not a cultivator from Southern Jambudvipa?"

Giving Shen Gui a deep look, Shang Yang said, "If that's the case, you also want to get involved in this matter? I just don't know if this is your own initiative, or the intention of those two from Heavenly Demon City."

Shen Gui was a bit confused.

He had no idea what matter Shang Yang was referring to, but based on Shang Yang's tone, it seemed to be common knowledge.

Will I seem like a fool if I say I don't know?

With a shift of thought, Shen Gui said, "I am here on the orders of Empress Nuwa."

"Really?" Shang Yang's reaction was somewhat unexpected to Shen Gui.

Then he heard Shang Yang say, "If Empress Nuwa is willing to offer her protection to us, then we are willing to follow Empress Nuwa's lead afterward."

Seeing Shang Yang's serious demeanor, Shen Gui thought, I'm panicking right now.

It seems I've stumbled into some major event?

Although he was panicking internally, Shen Gui maintained a calm facade.

He cleared his throat and said lightly, "I've just arrived in Southern Jambudvipa and am unaware of the current situation. Without understanding the circumstances, it's difficult for me to make a judgment. Empress Nuwa's intention is for me to act according to the situation. Only by understanding the specific circumstances can I make a judgment."

To this, Shang Yang nodded in agreement without surprise. "That is only natural."

She continued, "Since Empress Nuwa has sent Fellow Daoist Shen Gui, I presume Fellow Daoist Shen Gui is also aware of the situation in Southern Jambudvipa."

Shen Gui nodded slightly.

What exactly do I know?

However, Shang Yang couldn't read minds. Seeing Shen Gui nod, she continued, "Since the establishment of the Demon Country, it has been expanding everywhere, annihilating countless large and small forces in Southern Jambudvipa. Its ambition is already obvious. Although the Demon Country has temporarily halted its expansion for thousands of years due to the Dao Ancestor's teachings, everyone knows that it's only a matter of time before the Demon Country attacks us. Therefore, we various demon kings have conferred and decided that rather than being defeated one by one by the Demon Country, it's better to unite and fight for it. While the Dao Ancestor is teaching and Di Jun and Tai Yi are away, we can fight for a place to survive. After all, as long as Di Jun and Tai Yi are not here, the top experts of the Demon Country may not be able to suppress us. They have Grand Unity, why shouldn't we?"

Hearing Shang Yang's words, and combining it with Shen Gui's understanding of the Great Desolation, he could roughly figure out what was happening.

If there were no external interference, the subsequent plot would likely be the alliance of demons confronting the Demon Country. Then, after Hongjun's teachings ended, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi would forcefully suppress them, taking in some of the powerful demons who were willing to submit—many of the Ten Great Demon Saints and the Demon Gods of all realms might have come about this way.

After this, the Demon Country would unify Southern Jambudvipa, taking the first step towards dominating the Great Desolation.

So, the question arises: this was the original script.

Now, Shen Gui had appeared in this script because of Nuwa.

If only Shen Gui existed, even if he participated, he would likely be unable to change the overall situation.

After all, no matter how special Shen Gui was, he was currently only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, insignificant in front of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Di Jun.

However, Shen Gui now had Nuwa standing behind him.

This time, he was still on Nuwa's orders to come to Southern Jambudvipa to cause some trouble for Di Jun and Tai Yi, and to vent her anger.

And Nuwa was one of the few powerful beings in the Great Desolation who could contend with Di Jun and Tai Yi. Moreover, in terms of status, Nuwa was even higher—after all, Nuwa was destined to become a Saint.

So, in summary, Shen Gui now had the ability to change the situation in Southern Jambudvipa.

The key now was whether he would participate in this matter.

After hesitating for just a moment, Shen Gui had already made his decision.

In this life, if I don't take a few risks, how can I do justice to myself?

Moreover, if he could pull some of the Ten Great Demon Saints or the Demon Gods of all realms to his side, it would seem quite exciting, and he could also complete the task assigned by Nuwa.

Even if it failed, with Nuwa behind him, what was there to fear?

Could Eastern Emperor Tai Yi really chop me up?

Therefore, after a moment of thought, Shen Gui continued to ask, "Then what are your plans next?"

"Before this, many demon kings in Southern Jambudvipa were defeated one by one by the Demon Country. So, this time we plan to gather all our forces and elect a leader to lead us against the Demon Country. As long as we are united, I believe we can secure our own territory even when facing the Demon Country. The other parties also have the same idea."

After a pause, Shang Yang continued, "As for the location of the alliance, it will be held here on my Qingmang Mountain."
