Daoist Kunpeng, do you want to join the Wu Clan?

Sanqing, Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi, and a host of other Daluo Golden Immortal realm powerhouses gathered together.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, the Demon Master Kunpeng, and the other members of the Demon Clan, and said with a smile, "Dijun, the Demon Clan is truly mighty, to have fought their way all the way to Buzhou Mountain!"

He was, of course, speaking sarcastically.

More than two thousand years ago, Jieyin and Zhunti stole the Demon Clan's treasury. They were pursued by the Demon Clan, but in the end, they gifted the stolen treasury to the Witch Clan, thereby escaping the calamity.

However, this directly triggered the first great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

When the great war first began, because Dijiang and the others hid their strength, the Demon Clan appeared to have the upper hand.

During that period, the entire Demon Clan was incredibly arrogant, looking down on everyone.

They even conceived the idea of establishing the Heavenly Court to rule the Primordial World.

To this end, the Demon Clan sought out Sanqing, Nether Patriarch, and a host of other Primordial powerhouses, promising them high positions in the Heavenly Court and trying to win them over.

This naturally included Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.

Who knew that good times wouldn't last? The Twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan all 'broke through' to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, beating the entire Demon Clan into submission.

Zhen Yuanzi, in front of so many powerhouses, brought this up, naturally mocking Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others for their overestimation of themselves.

"Zhen Yuanzi, do you want to die?"

Before Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others could speak, Ci Tie couldn't help but step forward, pointing at Zhen Yuanzi and angrily berating him.

He had only recently joined the Demon Clan and was eager to prove himself.

Moreover, he had heard that once the Heavenly Court was established, the Demon Emperor intended to appoint the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Heavenly Court.

As a Daluo Golden Immortal realm Demon Clan powerhouse, although Ci Tie had not been in the Demon Clan for long, he was determined to secure one of the Ten Great Demon Saints positions in the Heavenly Court. Therefore, he vehemently defended the Demon Emperor.

Zhen Yuanzi let out a scoff and glanced sideways at Dijun, his mockery evident, "Dijun, you can't even control a dog under your command. No wonder the Demon Clan is inferior to the Witch Clan!"

"Enough!"

Dijun waved his hand, dismissing the furious Ci Tie, and his sharp eyes fixed on Zhen Yuanzi, "Zhen Yuanzi, stop spewing sour grapes here. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"You naturally wouldn't fear this Daoist."

Zhen Yuanzi retorted, "A dignified Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, leading billions of demons, who doesn't even look at Sanqing, how could I possibly have the virtue to make the Demon Emperor fear me?"

He looked towards Sanqing and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, do you think what this Daoist said makes sense?"

Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi smiled and waved their hands, unwilling to get involved in the dispute between Zhen Yuanzi and the Demon Clan.

Shangqing Tongtian, however, let out a cold snort and looked towards the Demon Master Kunpeng, saying faintly, "The Demon Clan is truly overbearing."

The Demon Master Kunpeng gave a wry smile and said ingratiatingly, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, it was my fault back then. I apologize to you. Can we let this matter go?"

At that time, the Demon Clan was powerful, and he represented them when he went to Kunlun Mountain, his attitude naturally being very arrogant.

Before he had even left Kunlun Mountain, he received news that the Witch Clan had defeated the Demon Clan.

Kunpeng was completely stunned at that moment.

To deal with the Witch Clan, he had gone to great lengths to lure the Fragmented Spirit of the Chaos Demon God of Destruction from the far north to the Witch Clan's territory at Buzhou Mountain.

The two locations were separated by tens of millions of miles. For this, he was once again severely injured by the Fragmented Spirit of the Chaos Demon God of Destruction, forcing him to withdraw from the great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

He then became an envoy for the Demon Clan.

The bitterness he felt was truly indescribable. If one had not experienced it personally, it would be difficult for an outsider to understand his feelings at that time.

After this incident, Kunpeng was utterly disappointed with the Demon Clan.

He had developed great doubts about the abilities of the two Demon Emperors, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

If he hadn't been researching the Demon Clan Script and was on the verge of achieving results, Kunpeng would have even considered leaving the Demon Clan and no longer concerning himself with the conflict between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

Therefore, Kunpeng's attitude had become extremely humble.

He wanted to protect himself and quietly research the Demon Clan Script to gain Heavenly Dao merit, yet someone didn't want him to succeed.

Hongyun, the foremost Good Samaritan of the Primordial World, advised Zhen Yuanzi, "Old friend, look how well Fellow Daoist Kunpeng is behaving. I hear that Fellow Daoist Kunpeng is now wholeheartedly researching the Demon Clan Script, dedicated to benefiting the entire Primordial World. He rarely even participates in Demon Clan affairs. This is truly a model for us."

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

The expressions of the two Demon Emperors, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, changed drastically. Their gazes towards Kunpeng were filled with suspicion.

Ever since Kunpeng returned from Kunlun Mountain, he had been like a changed person, shutting himself in his palace all day and never involving himself in Demon Clan matters.

They had previously thought that Kunpeng was still recovering from the severe injuries inflicted by the Fragmented Spirit of the Chaos Demon God of Destruction, which was why he had been in seclusion.

Now, it seemed that Kunpeng might have already harbored other intentions, and they had to guard against him.

Kunpeng knew that Hongyun had inadvertently set him up. Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were likely already wary of him, but he could only offer a wry smile and shake his head.

As one of the earliest powerhouses to follow the two brothers, he understood them too well.

Both of them were naturally suspicious.

Once suspicion took root in their hearts, they would never trust him again.

Moreover, it was Hongyun who had said it.

As the foremost Good Samaritan and the most honest person in the Primordial World, no one ever doubted the truthfulness of Hongyun's words.

"Ancestor Hongyun is right, Daoist Kunpeng's dedication to the well-being of all beings in the Primordial World is truly respectable!"

A voice rang out from afar.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Xuanyuan, accompanied by Houtu and the Six-Eared Macaque, among others.

As they approached, Xuanyuan directly invited Ancestor Kunpeng, "Daoist Kunpeng, a talent like you, who is so selfless, is being wasted in the Demon Clan. Have you considered joining our Witch Clan?"

Dijun's face darkened, his heart burning with rage as he roared, "Xuanyuan, don't push it too far!"

"How am I pushing it too far?"

Xuanyuan's lips curved upwards as he chuckled, "Our Witch Clan values talent the most. Only by coming to our Witch Clan can a talent like Daoist Kunpeng reach his full potential!"

Donghuang Taiyi, seeing that only Xuanyuan and Houtu had arrived from the Witch Clan, snorted coldly, "Xuanyuan, times have changed. Don't think too highly of yourself. Open your eyes and see that everyone here is a Daluo Golden Immortal realm expert. What right do you, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, have to stand here?"

The moment the Witch and Demon Clans met, the air was filled with tension.

Sanqing, Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor Hongyun, and the others all retreated to the side to watch the show.

Nuwa and Fuxi exchanged a glance and also stepped aside.

Although they were part of the Demon Clan, they had not joined Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi's faction.

Furthermore, due to the incident at Zixiao Palace where seats were given up, they felt very grateful to Xuanyuan.

Now, they were even less willing to help Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi deal with Xuanyuan.

Being able to step aside and watch the show was already the greatest help they could offer the Demon Clan.
