Guiche's proposal to seek the Saint's instructions appeared respectful, but in truth, he was merely borrowing the Saint's authority.
Any matter involving a Saint that the Demon Race found difficult to decide, he intended to push onto the Saint for judgment.
That way, if the Demon Race's slaughter of the Human Race drew criticism, both Laozi and Nüwa would inevitably be stained with some infamy.
This would have virtually no real impact on the Saints, while also giving the Demon Race confidence to act.
If the Demon Race envoy went to the Saints' disciples, there were only two possible outcomes:
Either they would not be received.
The Saints would close their doors and refuse visitors, tacitly allowing all of the Demon Race's actions.
If the Demon Race truly wiped out the Human Race, Nüwa could simply create humans again afterward.
Or they would be received.
But the greatest value this batch of humans held for the Heavenly Dao was to forge the Tuyu Sword for the Demon Race to use against the Wu Clan.
