In front of the Demon Master's Palace in the Demon Court, the atmosphere was tense and strange.

Di Jun was completely bewildered as he looked at Kunpeng, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping profusely, clinging tightly to his thigh and refusing to let go.

Kunpeng, still shouting at him not to come closer, left Di Jun utterly stunned.

His majestic royal face was filled with confusion and innocence.

"Demon Master, what is this you're doing?"

Di Jun's tone was gentle, attempting to display the demeanor of a wise ruler.

"Although the matter of subjugating the human race wasn't a complete success and encountered some minor setbacks,"

"I am not an unreasonable person and would never harshly blame you for it."

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

As he spoke, Di Jun reached out to help Kunpeng up.

"Don't touch me!!"

Kunpeng flinched as if he had been burned, his whole body trembling. He scrambled backward on his knees several steps.

Just then.

Thump, thump, thump.

A steady, powerful set of footsteps approached.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, clad in golden divine armor and with the Chaos Bell hovering over his head, entered the hall with a stern expression.

The moment he entered, he saw the scene of pulling and struggling.

Taiyi's brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown, and displeasure arose in his heart.

"Big Brother is the Demon Emperor, the ruler of all demons. How can he act like this with a subordinate? What sort of decorum is this!"

"This Kunpeng has always put in minimal effort, always slacking off and shirking his duties."

"He must know he's been ineffective and is now pestering Big Brother to avoid punishment!"

With this thought, Taiyi snorted coldly and strode forward.

"Big Brother!"

Taiyi spoke in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over Kunpeng like lightning.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Seeing his younger brother arrive, Di Jun helplessly spread his hands.

"I don't know either. I was just about to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Demon Master, and then the Demon Master he..."

"Have a heart-to-heart talk?" Taiyi's brows furrowed even tighter.

Big Brother is too kind!

For these slippery characters, one must use decisive action!

"Big Brother, please attend to your important affairs."

Taiyi subtly moved to block Di Jun, separating the two of them.

"Allow your brother to have a good talk with the Demon Master."

Although Di Jun was full of questions, seeing his brother's serious expression, he could only nod.

"Very well, then I shall trouble you, Second Brother."

With that, Di Jun, wearing an expression of regret like a moon offering its heart to a stone, turned and left.

After Di Jun's figure had completely disappeared.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's previously calm expression instantly turned cold.

The Chaos Bell above his head vibrated slightly, emitting a terrifying pressure.

He stared intently at Kunpeng and said in a chilling voice.

"Kunpeng, why are you clinging to my Big Brother like this, weeping and wailing? What sort of decorum is this?"

"Could it be... you want to leave the Demon Court again and demand that wisp of your soul attached to the Monster Summoning Banner?"

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng shook his head like a rattle drum, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, you misunderstand. This subject has absolutely no such intention!"

"Then why?" Taiyi pressed.

Kunpeng swallowed, glanced around to ensure no one else was present, and then his expression suddenly became extremely agitated.

With an indescribable strangeness and terror, he leaned closer to Eastern Emperor Taiyi and whispered, his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor... this subject... this subject has discovered a shocking secret!"

"It's... it's Your Majesty he..."

"Your Majesty, he seems... to have a fondness for men?!"

A terrifying wave of True Sun Fire instantly erupted from Taiyi.

"Insolent!"

Taiyi roared in anger, and the Chaos Bell let out a heaven-shattering clang.

"Kunpeng! How dare you slander the Demon Emperor?!"

"My Big Brother is wise and mighty, and his ten princes are proof of that!"

"How could he have such a... such a filthy habit!"

"If you can't explain yourself, today will be your death day!"

Kunpeng was so terrified he lost his soul, trembling like a sieve.

He hurriedly took out the Top Grade Recording Stone from his robes and held it high above his head.

"Eastern Emperor, please calm your anger. This subject... this subject has evidence, it's absolutely true!"

"This is a scene this subject risked his life to record in the Human Ancestral Land. Your Majesty, please watch!"

Taiyi suppressed his rage and snorted coldly.

"If it's fake, this Emperor will surely show no mercy!"

With that, his divine sense, like a blade, swept directly into the Recording Stone.

The next moment, Taiyi's expression, which had been full of murderous intent, instantly froze.

The Recording Stone displayed an incredibly clear image.

A figure with golden twin ponytails, wearing a miniskirt, whose aura was clearly Di Jun's, but who was posing in a charmingly feminine manner.

Facing the camera, she gave an extremely cute wink and sweetly called out.

"Ciallo~(∠・ω<)⌒☆"

"I'm Dijun-chan~☆"

BOOM!

It was as if ten thousand stars exploded simultaneously in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's mind.

He felt struck by lightning, freezing in place. His worldview, in that instant... completely collapsed.

"This... this..."

"This is really my Big Brother?!"

"This aura... it can't be faked... this origin... it can't be faked either..."

Taiyi's hands were trembling.

He suddenly recalled how his Big Brother always went to find those demon saints late at night.

Talking about learning from each other, fostering relationships, and having in-depth exchanges...

Back then, he thought his Big Brother was diligent and cared for his people.

But now...

"So... there was no learning from each other... no fostering of relationships..."

"Only... only this kind of..."

Taiyi was too ashamed to say the rest, feeling a surge of heat rush to his head.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Taiyi forced himself not to break down, taking several deep breaths. His eyes became unprecedentedly solemn.

"Guards!"

"Summon Lu Ya!"

Seeing this, Kunpeng cautiously asked.

"Your Majesty, why do you summon the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is young, perhaps speak more gently?"

"Silence!"

Taiyi interrupted him. A moment later, a figure with a childish yet somewhat heroic air rushed over. It was the tenth prince of the Demon Race, Lu Ya.

"Imperial Uncle, you were looking for me?" Lu Ya bowed.

Taiyi looked at Lu Ya, his expression grave, even tinged with a hint of tragedy, and said in a deep voice.

"Lu Ya, listen carefully."

"Your father, that is, my brother, Di Jun, has a fondness for men!"

Lu Ya heard this and was dumbfounded, staggering back a step.

"What? What did you say, Second Uncle?!"

In his heart, his father was an unshakeable hero!

Taiyi said in a deep voice.

"I also don't want to believe it, but the clues point to those Saint disciples in the Human Ancestral Land."

"Especially that Chan Sect disciple, Cihang. He was able to summon... summon a certain... abnormal projection of your father emperor!"

"Lu Ya, you go and investigate secretly. You must find out the truth!"

"Remember, act in secret. Everything you see and hear must be reported!"

Lu Ya looked at his Royal Uncle's extremely serious expression and knew the matter was grave.

"Nephew accepts the order!"

Lu Ya, filled with shock and worry, transformed into a long rainbow and rushed to the Human Ancestral Land.

After Lu Ya left, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could no longer suppress the anger and worry in his heart.

The Chaos Bell shone brightly, and Taiyi's gaze shot towards the direction Dijun had left like lightning, filled with murderous intent.

Kunpeng was terrified.

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, what are you...?"

Taiyi suddenly let out a roar that shook the thirty-third heaven of the Heavenly Court.

"No matter what kind of monster or evil spirit you are!!"

"Get out of my Big Brother's body immediately!!!"

Before his voice faded, he had already transformed into a stream of light and charged towards Dijun's sleeping quarters.

He absolutely refused to believe that this was his Big Brother's true intention!

Big Brother must be possessed!

In the Human Ancestral Land, after the Demon Race army retreated, the human populace survived the disaster.

They prostrated themselves before Zhao Gongming, Cihang, Xuandu, and Medicine Master, shouting 'Immortal Masters'.

Just then, Zhao Gongming's eyebrows twitched.

His powerful divine sense instantly captured an extremely subtle probing aura.

"Hmm, a Golden Crow's aura?"

"This nascent fluctuation... is it Lu Ya?"

Zhao Gongming's mind raced, and he quickly guessed the situation.

He looked at Cihang beside him, who was still regretting his transformation and whose face was still flushed.

Zhao Gongming suddenly felt a mischievous urge.

"Since you're here, don't leave empty-handed."

"The deeper the misunderstanding, the more fun it is."

Thus, Zhao Gongming suddenly turned around, deliberately facing Cihang beside him.

He laughed loudly in an extremely exaggerated voice, loud enough for anyone hiding in the dark to hear clearly.

"Oh my, Junior Brother Cihang!"

"Look, this random summoning technique actually triggered a projection of Demon Emperor Dijun's aura just now!"

"It seems Emperor Dijun is truly fond of you, his destined person, and can't forget about you!"

"This kind of bond is truly heaven-shattering and earth-moving, making one envious, hahahaha!"

As soon as he said this, Daoist Ci Hang felt as if he had heard the most terrifying curse in the world.

His face instantly turned as pale as paper, devoid of any blood.

His PTSD instantly flared up.

He remembered Dijun-chan winking at him, and he remembered the fear of being dominated.

"No... don't say it anymore!"

Cihang's body stiffened abruptly, and his hands moved extremely unnaturally.

He tightly protected a certain unspeakable area behind him.

His eyes were filled with terror, resistance, and the despair of begging to be let go.

"Junior Brother, stop talking, I'm scared!"

And this scene was precisely what Lu Ya, hiding in the dark and spying, saw.

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words about being fond and unable to forget.

And then seeing Cihang's pale little face.

And that exaggerated, story-filled posture of protecting his rear.

In Lu Ya's mind, he instantly connected it with what his Royal Uncle had said.

Rumble!

Five-Thunder Strike!

Lu Ya clapped a hand over his mouth, utterly terrified.

He was afraid to make even the slightest sound, his eyes bulging out of his head.

The storm raging in his heart threatened to drown him.

"Heavens!!!"

"Could it be... could it be that Second Uncle's words... were all true?!"

"Father Emperor... he actually has those kinds of thoughts about Cihang?"

"And judging by Cihang's reaction... did Father Emperor already... succeed?"

"It's over, the Demon Court... is tainted!!"
