Looks Like I'll Have to Bleed Again

After returning to the Solar Star a hundred years ago, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi began their actions, secretly visiting famous mountains and great rivers to bring powerful hidden figures under their command, and subjugating various races, both large and small. They quickly amassed tens of millions of demon soldiers and were rapidly expanding.

After Eastern King Duke returned to Penglai Immortal Island from Mount Buzhou, he discovered that the Western Queen Mother had left without a word. He grew resentful of the great powers on Mount Buzhou who had caused him to lose face.

After much thought, he still dared not provoke the Sanqing, and felt even more apprehensive towards Nuwa and Shen Hongfei, not daring to make a move. He could only turn his attention to Di Jun and Taiyi, who had caused him to lose so much face.

Coincidentally, Di Jun and Taiyi were in the process of conquering various races and establishing a powerful force. Eastern King Duke left Penglai Immortal Island, secretly rescuing the remnants of the races destroyed by Di Jun and Taiyi. He quickly gathered millions of followers, challenging Di Jun and Taiyi, with constant friction between them.

On the Solar Star, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi sat above the Solar Palace, looking with majestic expressions at the assembled great powers of the Demon Clan below, a hint of satisfaction in their eyes.

Especially in the front stood ten demons of different appearances, their auras immensely powerful. They were all at the initial stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, and they were the future Ten Great Demon Sages of the Demon Clan: Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Bai Ze, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiu Ying, Ci Tie, Shang Yang, Qin Yuan, and Gui Che.

At this moment, the Ten Great Demon Sages exuded a deathly aura, with a faint smell of blood filling the Solar Palace, and anger etched on their faces.

When all the great powers of the Demon Clan had assembled, Ji Meng stepped forward and bowed respectfully towards them, saying, "Lord Di Jun, Lord Taiyi, Eastern King Duke has massacred hundreds of thousands of our demon clan brothers this time. This is a provocation to the Demon Clan."

"Ji Meng requests that you send troops. I am willing to serve as the vanguard and avenge our fallen brothers!"

The other Demon Sages looked towards Di Jun, their eyes filled with fighting spirit. Eastern King Duke had gone too far, personally attacking the weak of the Demon Clan. They all wished to kill him to avenge their blood feud.

"Big Brother, ever since we incurred Eastern King Duke's wrath on Mount Buzhou, he has been secretly targeting us."

"Now, taking advantage of our seclusion, he brazenly slaughters our demon clan brothers. Failure to kill him will not appease the masses."

"Why don't I go and eliminate that scoundrel!"

Taiyi said angrily, immediately summoning the Eastern Emperor Bell and preparing to descend the Solar Star to settle the score with Eastern King Duke.

"Second Brother, you mustn't!"

Di Jun stopped Taiyi, pressed him back into his seat, and shook his head slightly. "This matter can be handled by the Ten Great Demon Sages. You and I have more important matters to attend to."

Then, without waiting for Taiyi to ask, Di Jun faced the assembled great powers below and said, "Order Bai Ze to be the commander, with the other Demon Sages assisting. Each will lead a million demon soldiers to teach Eastern King Duke a lesson!"

"As you command!"

The Ten Great Demon Sages responded in unison, then with killing intent flashing in their eyes, they quickly left the Solar Divine Palace, gathered their troops, and majestically departed the Solar Star, heading towards Penglai Immortal Island.

"Big Brother?"

After the demons had departed, Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked at his elder brother with confusion, not understanding why he had stopped him. With his cultivation and the Eastern Emperor Bell, he was confident he could easily defeat Eastern King Duke.

Di Jun shook his head slightly, a sharp glint appearing in his golden eyes. "Eastern King Duke is merely a clown. Why would Second Brother need to personally act?"

"You and I have more urgent matters to attend to."

"What matters?"

"Go to Mount Buzhou and win over Nuwa!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Di Jun's eyes, his tone firm. Without waiting for Taiyi to ask, he continued, "For our Demon Clan to develop and grow, the attitudes of other great powers cannot be ignored."

"You were present at the Mount Buzhou expedition a hundred years ago. Nuwa's unborn child's words alone were enough to make other great powers back down."

"Although the Sanqing played a role, it precisely proves that this child is extraordinary."

"If we can bring this child into the Demon Clan, we will gain the favor of the Sanqing and others."

"If we can seize this opportunity to bring even one or two great powers into the Demon Clan, even if it's just a nominal position, it will greatly boost the Demon Clan's momentum."

Taiyi heard this, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his handsome face. He then nodded slightly, signifying his agreement.

"Then, Big Brother, how should we get them to join the Demon Clan?"

"Yuanshi has clearly expressed his desire to take them as a disciple. If we two interfere, won't we provoke the Sanqing?"

Di Jun smiled with relief. Although his brother was impulsive, he wasn't entirely brainless.

"We don't need to take them as disciples. We only need to bring Nuwa into the Demon Clan and offer her the position of Demon Emperor!"

"Big Brother is wise!"

"Hahaha."

Di Jun laughed heartily, the True Sun Fire around him flickering, his eyes filled with infinite divine light as he gazed towards the distant Mount Buzhou.

"Taiyi, prepare the spiritual treasures and immortal fruits, and accompany me to Mount Buzhou!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

In a short while, Di Jun and Taiyi transformed into two golden streams of light, flying towards the Great Desolate Land.

At the same time, at the foot of Mount Buzhou, two Daoists with sallow complexions were walking up the mountain, one step at a time. Not a single ripple of spiritual energy emanated from them, making them appear like ordinary mortals. They were Zhunti and Jieyin, who had been searching for treasures in the East Sea.

"Big Brother, why must we climb like this, step by step, and be unable to use our magic power?"

Zhunti looked at the majestic and towering peak of Mount Buzhou and asked Jieyin beside him, full of doubt.

Jieyin clasped his hands together and said softly, "Second Brother, we cannot alert the Sanqing in this matter. We can only proceed stealthily."

"Even if we could fly up, it would be impossible not to reveal even a trace of spiritual energy."

"If Tongtian's disciples, the Sanxiao, were to detect it, Yuanshi would surely be informed, and that would lead to unnecessary trouble."

Zhunti could only bow his head and begin climbing. Fortunately, they had cultivated the Golden Body technique, and their physical strength was not to be underestimated. Before long, they had climbed to a mountainside. In a courtyard, they saw a gourd vine, with a pond next to it, in which grew a twelve-grade lotus.

"Twelve-grade Fortune Green Lotus!"

Zhunti and Jieyin's eyes glowed red as they greedily gazed at the green lotus in the pond, having clearly recognized it. This was a congenital supreme treasure!

Jieyin, remembering their purpose for coming here, cleared his mind and patted Zhunti beside him. "Second brother, don't be greedy."

Zhunti jolted awake. It wasn't entirely his fault; Hongjun hadn't distributed treasures yet, and their future innate spiritual treasures were not yet in their possession. When had they ever seen an innate spiritual treasure this up close!

The two, now sober, could only offer wry smiles. Thinking of the Five Elements Pearls they had spent a century collecting, they felt a bit sheepish. It seemed they would have to cough up a lot of treasure again!

"Thank you, Daoist Qingmu, for your regard for my child. However, this matter can only be decided after the child is born."

"Not at all, it was I who was presumptuous."

Just then, Nuwa's slightly apologetic voice rang out, accompanied by the voice of an old Daoist. Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions changed; someone had beaten them to it. Then, they saw an old Daoist in green robes emerge from Nuwa's cave dwelling.

This Daoist had white hair and a white beard, held a whisk, and was surrounded by an aura of immortal spiritual energy, embodying the very image of an enlightened immortal.
