Li Mo, what are your thoughts?

Di Jun rubbed his temples, feeling very strange.

The other party hadn't transmitted their voice, yet he could somehow hear what they were saying. It was truly bizarre; he even wondered if he was hallucinating.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Tai Yi, standing beside him, looked at Di Jun with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing," Di Jun replied.

He couldn't possibly tell Tai Yi that he could hear the inner thoughts of a little fellow, could he?

[What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and discuss matters!]

Hearing this, Di Jun's mouth twitched with anger. This guy was being so disrespectful to him.

He closed his eyes, and in a fit of rage, he crushed the air in his palm, causing it to explode.

In the great hall, the myriad of beings shivered.

What was going on?

Why was the boss so irritable?

[Good heavens! Who upset Brother Jun?]

Di Jun let out a soft breath, suppressing the displeasure in his heart.

He was destined to control the Great Desolation and rule the four seas and eight directions in the future. He needed to have a broader mind. The little demon beside Bai Ze was merely thinking these thoughts; he hadn't actually spoken them. There was no need to get angry.

Afterward, he convinced himself and his imposing aura returned.

Di Jun spoke, "Not long ago, Daoist Hongjun announced to the Great Desolation that he has achieved the Primordial Dao Fruit and stepped into the Saint realm. He will be opening a lecture at the Purple Heaven Palace soon. Do you all think I should go?"

This was the purpose of his summons.

For a moment, the hall fell silent, no sound could be heard.

After a while, Shang Yang stepped forward two paces, cupped his hands, and said, "My Lord! Shang Yang believes we should not go this time. Daoist Hongjun is skilled in scheming, and Demon Ancestor Luohu was defeated by him. What is this Primordial Dao Fruit? What is a Saint Position? We don't know. If we go rashly, Lord Di Jun and Lord Tai Yi might be in mortal danger."

As soon as he spoke, many voices chimed in.

"Yes! Lord Di Jun, you absolutely must not go. Hongjun is too cunning."

The Purple Heaven Palace is located in the outer chaos. The journey requires passing through the Chaos Gale, which is incredibly dangerous. We cannot go!

"The Sun Star is where we should stay. It's very suitable for Lord Di Jun and Lord Tai Yi to cultivate here. Why go to the Purple Heaven Palace?"

Di Jun frowned and glanced at Tai Yi.

[These cowardly fellows! Go! Why wouldn't we go? The Primordial Great Luo Dao Fruit is the next major realm after Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal and Grand Unity Golden Immortal. This realm is known as Saint. Isn't Hongjun's lecture better than Di Jun and Tai Yi shutting themselves away to study on the Sun Star?]

[By the way, is that Shang Yang? He can stand so steadily on one leg. It seems he's quite skilled!]

Li Mo kept his head down and didn't speak, his lips pursed so far they were almost askew.

Hm?

Di Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mo, who had his head bowed. He was greatly surprised.

He knew nothing about the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal and Saint realms. Yet, a mere little spirit beside Bai Ze understood.

How could he know about this matter?

Without thinking, Di Jun suddenly looked at Bai Ze and asked, "Bai Ze, who is beside you?"

[Holy crap! Brother Jun, why are you noticing me?]

[Can you just let me be low-key? I just want to be a salted fish.]

[Master, please don't praise me. I just want to honestly be a salted fish.]

Li Mo cursed inwardly.

Not only that, but because of Di Jun's question, almost all eyes in the hall were now fixed on him.

Future figures of the Ten Great Demon Sages' caliber were all quite interested in him.

Especially Shang Yang!

My Lord is discussing important matters with everyone, why is he shifting his attention to an Earth Immortal?

Could it be that he has something special about him?

Bai Ze heard the question, cupped his hands, and smiled as he glanced at Li Mo. "Replying to Lord Di Jun, this is my disciple, Li Mo."

Li Mo gave a wry smile, raised his head, and bared his teeth at Di Jun with a grin.

"Li Mo, tell me, what are your thoughts on Hongjun's lecture?"

[Holy crap! Why are you asking me? Didn't Shang Yang already answer you? You could ask my master too! And what about Ji Meng, Jiu Ying, Fei Lian, Gui Che! You're not asking these awesome figures, but you're specifically asking me? Can you just let me be low-key?]

Li Mo felt miserable. If his reputation became too great later and he attracted the attention of the Witch Clan, wouldn't he be doomed?

"Lord Di Jun, this person is merely a disciple beside Bai Ze. He is not qualified to speak in the great hall!" Shang Yang said with great displeasure.

"Indeed. His status and vision are shallow, so his words are not worthy of trust."

[Shang Yang, good job! You're doing great! I don't know anything, I just want to lie down and be low-key.]

However, Bai Ze, standing to the side, simply smiled faintly and said loudly, "Since Lord Di Jun has spoken, why would my disciple be unable to speak? Lord Di Jun himself is asking, so what right do you have to refuse on his behalf?"

How could he pass up such an opportunity for his disciple to shine?

He directly pushed his disciple forward.

He even met Li Mo's gaze and nodded.

Hearing this, Li Mo looked at Bai Ze dejectedly, feeling utterly depressed.

[Master, what's with that encouraging look? Can you just let me be low-key? Shang Yang is trying to help, but you're just making things worse.]

"Bai Ze, your disciple is merely an Earth Immortal. What insight could he possibly have?" Shang Yang retorted.

However, Tai Yi waved his hand and said, "No need. Everyone can speak in today's meeting. What does it matter if he's just a minor demon?"

Silencing Shang Yang, he said to Li Mo, "Li Mo, state your opinion."

Seeing this, Li Mo knew he had no choice but to speak, so he said, "I don't have any particular opinion."

[Brother Jun, you and the others were discussing things just fine. You could ask that big brother next to you, why ask me?]

"Bai Ze is your master, and I have witnessed his abilities. As his disciple, although your cultivation is not yet high, do you truly have no insights in other areas? Do you think I would believe that?"

As Tai Yi spoke, he rested his elbow on his throne, forming a fist with his hand and propping up his chin.

[Ah! This... he's forcing me to speak!]

Steelng himself, Li Mo said, "I believe that Lords Di Jun and Tai Yi are the overlords of heaven and earth, with unfathomable cultivation. They also possess treasures like the Hetu Luoshu and the Eastern Emperor Bell, which can easily break through the Chaos Gale."

"As for Daoist Hongjun's schemes, there's no need to worry. His strength is formidable. To be honest, even in his prime, the current Lords Di Jun and Tai Yi would be like mere children before him."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall was in shock.

While the words were true, no one had ever dared to say them aloud.

Shang Yang, in particular, angrily exclaimed, "Audacious Li Mo! How dare you boost the enemy's morale and dampen our own! Lords Di Jun and Tai Yi are Pangu's Orthodox Lineage. What is that Hongjun compared to them?"

Li Mo's words were vastly different from Shang Yang's, naturally displeasing Shang Yang.

However, it was more a reflection of his own foolishness.

Even now, he still didn't understand Hongjun's power.

Bai Ze also bowed his head and apologized to Tai Yi and Di Jun, "My Lords, my disciple is ignorant and has offended you. I beg you not to hold it against him."
