At that, the mighty figures were all stunned.
"Heavenly Emperor, is the other Demon Emperor you mentioned Li Mo? The Li Mo who spent the whole journey lounging around, eating and drinking, and doing nothing useful?"
Fu Xi couldn't believe it.
Nuwa widened her big, doll-like eyes, looking confused and bewildered.
Di Jun meant to make that lazy fellow the new Demon Emperor?
"Big Brother, Fifth Brother is only a Mystic Immortal. Though he has the Three-legged Golden Crow Bloodline and successfully mastered the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique, that still isn't enough to make him a Demon Emperor, is it?" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi spoke up as well.
If they made this decision, their subordinates would surely be unhappy.
That could lead to trouble within the Demon Race.
"Exactly, Heavenly Emperor. This is going too far. He may be capable, but making him Demon Emperor is simply unjustifiable." Fu Xi frowned too.
Di Jun only shook his head and gave a bitter smile. "Actually, you've all seen things too one-sidedly."
"One-sidedly? That can't be right. Li Mo did nothing on the whole journey except eat, drink, and enjoy himself," Nuwa said, perplexed.
"Fine. Since you're asking, I'll tell you. Actually... that senior surrounded by demonic energy isn't some reclusive mighty figure." Di Jun gave a bitter smile.
"He isn't? How is that possible? Who else could possess such power besides a reclusive mighty figure?" Fu Xi asked in shock.
"He's just an Artifact Spirit. Remember the black gourd beneath him? He's the spirit of that gourd, and Li Mo is his master!"
The moment he said this, the whole place fell silent.
Only their breathing could be heard.
The other three looked as though they'd seen a ghost.
Their eyes widened until they were as big as eggs.
"Impossible! How could that be? That mighty figure's power has already surpassed Grand Unity Golden Immortal; he must be close to the level of a Quasi-Saint. How could he be Li Mo's Artifact Spirit?" Nuwa kept shaking her head, unable to believe a word Di Jun said.
"Wa Huang, it's true," Di Jun replied.
"If this is true, then Li Mo's power already surpasses ours. He does have what it takes to be Demon Emperor." Fu Xi's expression turned solemn. He took a slow breath, trying to calm himself.
After all, this news was far too astonishing.
The most frivolous and laziest person on the journey had turned out to be the strongest.
His own power might not be great, but that senior wrapped in demonic energy was truly powerful.
"So Big Brother wants to use this to bind Fifth Brother tightly to us and the Demon Race—and the Demon Court?" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi asked.
"What do you mean?"
Nuwa and Fu Xi were confused.
Di Jun then told them how Li Mo had been intent on escaping the Demon Race and avoiding the fighting.
"Once word gets out that Fifth Brother is a Demon Emperor, no one will believe him even if he says he has nothing to do with the Demon Race." Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back as he spoke.
He was quite pleased with his plan to make Li Mo a Demon Emperor.
"I see." Only then did Nuwa and Fu Xi understand.
Di Jun didn't tell them that the mighty figure surrounded by billowing demonic energy was Luohu.
If that news got out, it would be bad for both the Demon Race and Li Mo.
Di Jun didn't want his Fifth Brother to be killed by Hong Jun just like that.
Fifth Brother was his lucky star.
Without him, Di Jun didn't know how many opportunities he would have missed.
"I want only us to know about this. Li Mo will be our trump card from now on. Let him keep a low profile," Di Jun said.
At that, the other three Demon Emperors all nodded in agreement.
"Second Brother, have Mie Meng issue an order summoning all the Demon Race clan leaders and every expert at Grand Unity Golden Immortal or above to the Sun God Palace for a meeting. Today, we'll be adding three more Demon Emperors!"
Di Jun's eyes seemed to blaze like torches.
"Very well!"
With that, Tai Yi left immediately.
At that moment,
Li Mo was happily enjoying the beautiful scenery before him, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Big Brother, what kind of clothes are these? They're quite pretty." Bai Qianqian, the little junior sister of Li Mo and Bai Ze's disciple from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, sat on the swing, happily admiring the OL uniform she was wearing.
"Qianqian, come here. Let your senior brother explain what all this is."
As he spoke, Li Mo pulled Bai Qianqian beside him and held her soft, delicate hand.
His palm brushed over the black stockings printed with letters as he said, "These are called stockings. They're incredibly smooth, and wearing them makes your legs look longer and sexier."
As Li Mo spoke, his eyes practically sparkled.
What a feel! So soft.
Those legs could keep a man entertained for ten years!
These stockings and the OL uniform were, of course, rewards produced by the system.
The reward had nearly sent Li Mo over the moon.
It had been so long since he'd seen a girl in black stockings. Today, he'd called his junior sister Bai Qianqian over and coaxed her into wearing them. She looked absolutely stunning.
The Nine-tailed Fox Clan were already irresistibly seductive and incredibly sexy after taking human form.
And now, with those stockings...
Li Mo could only offer his utmost respect!
His master had certainly taken in a wonderful junior sister for him.
At that moment, Li Mo stared at his junior sister, drooling with desire.
Now that I have Luohu and the God Slaying Spear, his combat strength is on par with a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.
Jun Ge and Second Brother are only at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
If I leave the Primordial World now, I'll be a big shot wherever I go. I won't have to worry about running into some mighty figure and getting killed on the spot.
I might as well use this opportunity to persuade Master and Junior Sister to leave with me, then find somewhere to lie low.
Then I can keep a bunch of OL girls in stockings and watch them dance every day. Wouldn't that be great?
Why stay in the Demon Race and live in constant fear?
At the thought, Li Mo couldn't help grinning smugly.
Once Master comes back, I'll get him to leave with me.
I used to be weaker than him, but now he'd be like a little chick in front of Luohu.
Don't want to leave? Not a chance!
I'll make sure you come with me!
"Li Mo!"
In the distance, high in the sky,
a white streak of light appeared. It was none other than Li Mo's master, Bai Ze.
"Master, you're just in time. I have something to discuss with you," Li Mo said happily.
Bai Ze landed and frowned as he glanced at Bai Qianqian beside him, finding her outfit a little strange.
Still, he didn't ask about it.
Instead, he said, "We'll talk about your matter later. For now, we're going to the Sun God Palace. The two Demon Emperors have something to announce."
"Are they announcing the new Demon Emperors?" Li Mo asked.
