Omen

Now that the master of the water veins had kicked the bucket, his subordinates naturally surrendered or resisted as they saw fit.

The commander of the Wei River Water Mansion had done this before.

He dealt with the situation in a flash.

Those who could be incorporated were incorporated, and those who resisted were killed.

It was just...

Guizhenzi looked at Su Nu, who was holding the Myriad Spirits Banner in the void, and his eyelids twitched.

"I wonder where the Lord found such a ruthless character."

"Even their souls can't find peace after these cultivators die."

He had personally witnessed souls that had just entered the banner emerge the next second, filled with righteous fury and shouting to attack their former comrades.

It was truly terrifying.

Su Nu, who was collecting souls, sensed someone watching her. She frowned and turned her head.

She bared her teeth fiercely and said:

"What are you looking at?"

"Keep looking and I'll refine you into the Myriad Spirits Banner too."

Guizhenzi quickly said:

"Empress, please calm your anger."

"The battlefield here has been cleared. We just need to leave a team to take over the resources and property in this water mansion."

"We can withdraw now."

He wasn't afraid that this young girl would actually refine him into the banner.

But Empress Su Nu's cultivation had reached Grand Unity, making her the strongest under the Water Lord.

It was best not to offend her.

Su Nu nodded upon hearing this.

She lightly waved the Myriad Spirits Banner in her small hand.

She took tens of thousands of souls into the banner.

Then, she transformed into a blood-red divine light and disappeared into the water.

The Wei River Water Mansion's forces continued forward.

The Tianshui Imperial Dynasty's territory was vast.

The Huai River had many tributaries.

The upper reaches of the Huai River had spawned many river and water veins.

"Are you the Grand Unity Great Sage of Phoenix Perch Mountain?"

A thousand-zhang flood dragon, bringing forth clouds and rain, poked its head out of the black mist.

Its two large eyes held a friendly expression:

"I come from the North Sea Dragon Clan."

"I once cultivated under Ancestor Kunpeng."

"If Grand Unity Great Sage has time, please visit the North Sea to find me."

"Hei Zhuo will surely welcome you with open arms."

After saying that, he glanced at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the water mansion below.

"The soldiers and generals in this water mansion were left by the previous Water Lord."

"Since they have surrendered to me, please accept them after I leave, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Yuan understood from his words that he intended to hand over the water domain below.

"Fellow Daoist Hei Zhuo, if you have leisure, you are also welcome to visit my Wei River Water Mansion."

Hei Zhuo laughed heartily:

"If that's the case, this king shall depart!"

"Roar!"

With a dragon's roar.

Dragon King Hei Zhuo soared through the clouds and mist, heading towards the North Sea.

This Five Directions Imperial Dynasty was taken by those two from Phoenix Perch Mountain.

The Dao Lineage of Phoenix Perch Mountain allowing other Dao Lineages' Grand Unity level demon clans like them to plunder was already giving their ancestor face.

"Since Phoenix Perch Mountain has issued its decree."

"Hand over the Authority of Water Element of the Tianshui Dao Lineage to this Grand Unity Great Sage."

"Why should I defy the will of those two Dao Lords?"

The North Sea was vast.

Although the North Sea Dragon Clan existed, the Black Flood Dragon Clan, backed by the North Nether Palace, also had plenty of water veins to inhabit.

Dragon King Hei Zhuo's eyes flickered with sharp light.

"I heard from the little demons of the Myriad Spirit Mountain Range that this Grand Unity Great Sage is a master of both alchemy and artifact forging."

"Such an existence will surely secure a place in the Demon Court in the future."

"Building a good relationship in advance will also leave a sliver of hope for our clan."

Zhou Yuan continued forward, riding the waves.

However, another Grand Unity appeared to block his path in the void.

It was a being with a dragon's head, a human's body, and feathers on its arms.

"Taiyuanzi."

"This is my dojo ahead."

"Turn around immediately."

"Do not proceed further."

Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He said calmly:

"Are you of the Demon Clan?"

"Naturally. Our clan leader is a honored guest in the Sun Palace – Dao Lord Ji Meng."

"I joined the Myriad Races Alliance long before you did."

This being raised its head and arrogantly stared at Zhou Yuan.

"Retreat now, and we can remain on good terms."

Zhou Yuan shook his head:

"Since you are of the Demon Clan,"

"do you know of Empress Nuwa of Phoenix Perch Mountain and the jade edict from Dao Lord Fuxi?"

The demon king frowned.

This Taiyuanzi was truly ungrateful.

He had already invoked Ji Meng's name.

Why was this one still being difficult?

Ever since the Demon Clan was established, His Majesty Di Jun had defeated all enemies and ascended to the Thirty-three Heavenly Palaces.

All beings in the Sun Palace had risen in status accordingly.

And their clan leader, Ji Meng, had even used the Demon Clan's destiny to successfully prove his Dao and reach the Innate Dao Lord realm.

Thinking of Ji Meng's existence, the demon king's courage immediately swelled.

Torrential rain appeared behind him.

He said coldly:

"I only know of the Sun Palace, not Phoenix Perch Mountain!"

The implication was that he did not recognize the edict from Phoenix Perch Mountain.

RUMBLE!

On Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Thunder boomed.

Empress Nuwa sat on a cloud bed.

Her delicate face was frosty:

"How dare he!"

"A mere Dao Lord dares to look down on this Empress."

"Who gave him such courage?!"

Dao Lord Fuxi's hand paused slightly as he played the zither.

Only knew of the Sun Palace?

Did not know of Phoenix Perch Mountain?

The Demon Clan isn't solely dominated by the Sun Palace lineage.

Lowering his gaze to hide the depth in his eyes, Fuxi spoke softly:

"It matters not."

"Let's see how this junior acts."

After all, they held noble statuses.

If they were to confront this minor demon, it would likely become a laughingstock among the great powers of the heavens.

Empress Nuwa played with the Red Sleeve Mandarin Duck Blades in her hand, her expression indifferent as she swept a glance across the Thirty-three Heavenly Palaces.

"???"

Zhou Yuan felt speechless upon hearing the defiant words of the demon king ahead.

As a member of the Phoenix Perch Mountain Dao lineage.

How could Zhou Yuan stand by and witness such a madman's provocation?

He immediately became enraged:

"Empress Nuwa and Dao Lord Fuxi are equally revered within the Demon Clan."

"Which of the world's demons does not show them utmost respect?"

"You are but a mere Grand Unity cultivator, how dare you speak such wild words?"

"How dare you try to sow discord between the Sun Palace lineage and my Phoenix Perch Mountain Dao lineage?"

Having said that, he cupped his hands slightly towards Phoenix Perch Mountain.

"Empress above, Dao Lord above."

"To uphold the dignity of my Dao lineage."

"This humble deity will now commit murder!"

With that said.

He unleashed his full power.

Lightning Law Divine Abilities.

Yin and Yang Chaotic Void Divine Light.

Great Azure Crimson Gold Lamp.

Rumble!

Alas, this demon king had only just ascended to Grand Unity Great Sage, and was not even as powerful as the white-haired deity Zhou Yuan had killed not long ago.

He was filled with terror:

"You dare kill me?"

"My clan leader is an Innate Dao Lord."

Looking at Zhou Yuan's calm and cold face, he finally became afraid.

"No, you can't kill me!"

"Ah~~~"

Amidst the light of lightning and fire, this demon king let out a tragic cry.

And then completely turned to ash.

Not even his soul was left behind.

On the Thirty-three Heavens.

Within a certain Worldly Heaven estate.

Dao Lord Ji Meng stared blankly at the place where the demon king had died.

His eyes were filled with coldness:

"Idiot."

"He deserved to die."

A thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.

"I have many rivals within the Demon Clan."

"I wonder which one resorted to such methods."

Ji Meng's heart turned cold.

"Other things are fine."

"But if this was the intention of the two Majesties..."

The Innate Dao Lord's eyes showed helplessness.

He beckoned to an attendant boy outside the hall.

"Take this jade slip to Dao Lord Bai Ze."

The attendant boy accepted the order and left.

After an unknown amount of time.

The attendant boy returned to the hall, bowed, and delivered a message:

"The Demon Clan is newly established; we must prioritize the bigger picture."

Upon hearing this, Ji Meng's face actually showed a hint of joy.

"Quickly go to the treasury and bring that set of Golden Thread Jade Robes."

"I need to make a trip to Phoenix Perch Mountain."

To beg for forgiveness!

The attendant boy acknowledged the command and hurried out of the main hall.

Ji Meng casually glanced at Zhou Yuan, who had killed his lineage's demon king, and pondered in secret.

"It's not advisable to stir up more trouble at this time."

Taiyuanzi has the backing of those two from Phoenix Perch Mountain.

We'll settle this another day.
