A Mighty Being, How Can He Quarrel With a Child Over a Treasure

This scene made Zhunti, Di Jun, and the others anxious. Currently, Hongjun hadn't distributed the treasures yet, and besides their innate spiritual treasures, they had no other powerful spiritual treasures. Now that they finally had a chance to acquire one, they were expected to hand it over. How could they accept that!

Eastern King Duke couldn't hold back first. He was formed from the first wisp of Innate Yang Qi and possessed his own arrogance. If these treasures were taken by Sanqing and the others, he wouldn't say anything. But now, to have them all taken by a mere unborn child, how could he be satisfied!

Of course, he wasn't foolish and didn't dare to demand from Sanqing. Instead, he stepped forward and said to Nuwa, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this treasure has seven gourds. Is it a bit excessive for you all to take them?"

As Eastern King Duke spoke, fearing he would be targeted alone, he turned and cupped his hands towards Zhunti and the others, "Fellow Daoists, you are also great powers of this era. Are you going to watch all these treasures being snatched by a child?"

Zhunti and the others' eyes flickered, a hint of emotion appearing. However, when they looked at Sanqing beside them, they dismissed the idea.

They weren't fools. It was clear that Sanqing was siding with Nuwa. To snatch the treasures from Shen Hongfei, they still needed to get past them.

But Sanqing's cultivation was unfathomable, especially Laozi, whose presence made the great powers present feel a sense of dread. They weren't confident they could win.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi glanced at Di Jun and quietly asked, "Big Brother, are we really not going to make a move?"

Di Jun rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. "Sanqing's cultivation is unfathomable. You and I are in the critical period of establishing the Demon Clan, and we cannot afford to offend them rashly!"

"Moreover, Nuwa is a great power of this era. Having listened to the teachings in Zixiao Palace, she has reached the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If we can win her over, our Demon Clan's influence will undoubtedly increase significantly."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded. For his brother and himself to achieve great things, offending Sanqing and Nuwa would not be a wise choice.

"Big Brother's thoughts are indeed thorough!"

"Mm."

Seeing that his younger brother had come around, Di Jun said no more. In truth, he had more considerations, which was Nuwa's unborn child.

The events that transpired in Zixiao Palace were enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this child. In the future, he might even achieve the status of a Saint. If Nuwa joined the Demon Clan, this child would also become part of the Demon Clan, and then, the Demon Clan would surely become the number one power in heaven and earth!

Should he go for Innate Spiritual Treasures or try to win over Nuwa and her unborn child? Di Jun weighed his options and chose the latter. He stepped forward, cupped his hands in a bow, and said, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, today's matter was due to my brother and my lack of foresight."

"We hope you can forgive any offense caused. We will certainly bring generous gifts to apologize in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hongfei couldn't help but look at Di Jun and his brother with surprise, thinking to himself, 'As expected of those who would later establish the supreme Demon Court. Their bearing is truly different!'

Sanqing's eyes gleamed, and they felt a sense of appreciation for Di Jun, nodding slightly.

"Fellow Daoists, my brother and I shall take our leave now!"

Di Jun cupped his hands towards the surrounding great powers, exchanged a glance with Taiyi, and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Eastern King Duke became anxious. If Di Jun and Taiyi left, there would be even less hope of obtaining the spiritual treasures. He couldn't help but mock them, "I never expected you two to be such cowards, scared off by an unborn child."

"Eastern King Duke!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi turned sharply towards Eastern King Duke, his golden eyes flickering with flames, exuding intense killing intent.

"What, you want to fight?"

Eastern King Duke was unafraid. He took out the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, raised his head, and provocatively looked at Di Jun and Taiyi, eager to test their mettle.

After listening to the teachings in Zixiao Palace, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the minor accomplishment stage of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. With the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, in his hand, his ambitions began to swell.

After returning from Zixiao Palace, Eastern King Duke had started recruiting rogue cultivators to form his own faction. However, most of them looked down on him and joined Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Demon Clan. He had long harbored dissatisfaction and planned to contend with them. This was the perfect opportunity to test their strength!

"Seeking death!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi could no longer restrain himself. With a wave of his hand, a small golden bell appeared, emitting a terrifying aura. This treasure was precisely Eastern Emperor Taiyi's accompanying supreme treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Shen Hongfei looked on curiously. He had long admired this treasure and wanted to see if its power was as formidable as the legends claimed!

"Second Brother!"

Di Jun grabbed Eastern Emperor Taiyi, his golden eyes narrowing, revealing a dangerous glint.

"This is Fellow Daoist Nuwa's territory. It is not suitable for a fight, let's go!"

"Big Brother!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was unwilling to leave. If they left like this, wouldn't it make people think that their brothers were afraid of Eastern King Duke!

"Taiyi!"

Di Jun looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, golden flames flickering in his eyes, revealing a hint of authority.

Seeing his elder brother angry, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could only put away the small bell, glared fiercely at Eastern King Duke, and left with Di Jun with a grim expression.

"Consider yourselves lucky to escape quickly, otherwise I would have shown you the might of Eastern King Duke."

Seeing Di Jun and Taiyi leave, Eastern King Duke thought they were afraid of him and couldn't help but say disdainfully in the direction they had left.

Shen Hongfei was stunned. Where did this Eastern King Duke get his courage from!

In his previous life, he had always wondered why Eastern King Duke, with only a handful of followers, dared to oppose the Demon Clan, simply because he was appointed the leader of male immortals by the Dao Ancestor?

Now it seemed the problem lay with him personally. He didn't understand the will of heaven and couldn't gauge his own position, destined for destruction. Thinking this, Shen Hongfei took it as a warning and further solidified his goals. He would remain hidden until he was unafraid even of Ancestor Hongjun, and would not emerge until then!

The great powers present looked at Eastern King Duke's behavior and felt a sense of disgust. Especially Western Queen Mother, who inwardly cursed him as an idiot. She decided to seek a new dojo upon returning and cease all contact with Eastern King Duke, otherwise, she would eventually be harmed by him.

With this thought, Western Queen Mother made her decision. She stepped out from behind Eastern King Duke, cupped her hands in a bow to Nuwa, and apologized, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this humble one shall also take her leave." Saying this, she left without even glancing at Eastern King Duke.

Western Queen Mother's departure made Eastern King Duke's face turn ashen. A trace of venom flashed in his eyes, and he felt utterly humiliated. He wanted to lash out, but seeing Sanqing's displeased gaze, he felt a wave of fear and could only snort coldly before turning to leave.

Shen Hongfei curled his lips. He was just a person on the verge of death and not worth much attention. He then looked at Zhunti and Jieyin and continued, "Uncle Zhunti, why are you still here?"

"Are you still planning to snatch my family's possessions?"

Zhunti's mouth twitched. He looked at the Gourd Vine not far away, his eyes revealing reluctance. The West was too barren. To finally encounter an ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasure, and to willingly hand it over without a fight, how could he be content.

Zhunti looked at Nuwa's belly, and a kind smile squeezed onto his sallow face. Shamelessly, he said, "Child, you and your Uncle Jieyin traveled all the way from the West, enduring hardships to come here. This shows our fate.

"Are you willing to let your uncle return empty-handed?"
