Di Jun's Ruthlessness, Tongtian Was Stunned

A cold glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes:

"With the great calamity approaching, the Witch Clan is also making preparations in full swing."

"We must not lose our composure."

"The matter of Kunpeng should be handled discreetly; do not make it public."

"The most urgent task at hand is to perfect the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array as soon as possible, and at the same time... speed up the forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword!"

Mentioning the Witch-Slaying Sword, a ruthless glint flashed in Eastern Emperor Taiyi:

"Don't worry, brother, the blood food collection has never stopped, it's just..."

He paused, lowering his voice:

"Xuandu has taken in Myriad Human Race disciples and erected the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele. Now, the number of Human Race cultivating Martial Dao Practitioner is increasing daily, their strength is growing, and the difficulty of hunting them has greatly increased."

"Killing those children who have become disciples of the Xuandu Human Race will have little effect."

"Now that the Human Race have surrounded the children, any attack they make will inevitably injure the disciples of Xuandu. It's far too difficult."

This is the loophole they exploited.

Xuandu's disciples cannot be killed, but it doesn't say that Newborn Human Race after Xuandu takes on disciples cannot be killed.

Di Jun was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"I am already aware of this matter."

"The Witch-Slaying Sword is the key to our clan's fight against the Witch Clan; it cannot be abandoned halfway."

"But... there are ways to work around it."

He looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi:

"We could try mixing human blood with that of other races to dilute the Human Race's essence. Although the effect would be slightly reduced, it would be a safer approach."

Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, though unwilling, knew it was the safest solution at the moment and could only nod in agreement.

"Yes."

Di Jun waved his hand:

Go ahead.

"I... need some peace and quiet."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi bowed and withdrew.

Silence returned to the hall.

Di Jun sat alone on his throne, sunlight streaming through the glazed dome, gilding him with a golden edge, yet unable to dispel the deep gloom between his brows and eyes.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze once again turning towards the North Sea.

"Kunpeng..."

"Xuandu ..."

"The Interception Sect..."

One name after another flashed through his mind, finally turning into a suppressed whisper:

"In the midst of this great calamity, I... will see who has the last laugh."

The words had barely left his mouth.

A dark golden array disc quietly appeared from within his sleeve.

On the array plate, the Stars swirled and circulated, among which the three main stars representing the North Sea region... were slowly dimming.

Beihai, Demon Master Palace.

The large array of light curtains flowed silently, isolating all those inside and outside from prying into its depths.

Inside the hall, Xuandu and Kunpeng sat facing each other.

The tea has gone cold, and all the words have been spoken.

Kunpeng's intention to surrender and his Pledge of Allegiance to the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array were now laid bare before Xuandu.

Xuandu pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I understand your sincerity, Fellow Daoist."

"This matter is of great importance, and I must inform my master immediately."

He took out the Jie Sect Personal Disciple Token his bosom; it was now the Vice Sect Master Token.

A clear light flowed over the token, with a faint Tongtian Sword Intent lingering within.

Xuandu lightly tapped his fingertip, and a wisp of Spiritual Sense entered the command talisman, recording the Kunpeng's intent and the flaws in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array.

He then activated the command token.

"Buzz!"

The talisman shone brightly, and an invisible ripple spread out, piercing through the Demon Master Palace's grand formation and speeding towards Golden Ao Island!

The message has been sent.

Next, we wait for our master's response.

Seeing this, Kunpeng felt somewhat relieved, but a trace of unease still lingered in his eyes.

After all, his actions were tantamount to betting his life and fortune on the Interception Sect.

If successful, one will receive the Sage's Protection, Glimmer of Hope in the vast eons to come.

Defeat... means death and annihilation, with no hope of redemption.

Xuandu noticed his unease and said slowly:

"Fellow Daoist have made up your mind, there is no need for further concern."

"Our Jie Sect's Teachings is to Seize a Thread of Life. Our master has always been decisive and protective of his own."

"Having already accepted the North Sea Black Tortoise, how could we possibly turn Fellow Daoist away?"

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng gave a wry smile:

I hope so.

He paused, as if remembering something, and asked:

"By the way, what are your plans regarding the Golden-Winged Great Peng... Fellow Daoist?"

Xuandu's gaze shifted to the entrance where black and white intertwined:

"Wait until he comes out of seclusion."

"At that time, we will need your help Fellow Daoist."

Kunpeng nodded:

"It's my duty."

Just as the two were talking...

suddenly.

The entire Demon Master Palace trembled very slightly!

"Um?"

Kunpeng's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up!

He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy emanating from the North Sea Spiritual Veins beneath his feet... seemed to have weakened slightly!

Although extremely faint and almost imperceptible, it was crystal clear to his Quasi-Saint Peak level.

"The Spirit Vein... have been disturbed?"

A dark light shone brightly in Kunpeng's eyes, and he instantly understood!

"Di Jun... Tai Yi..."

"You... you did notice!"

His face darkened.

The Demon Master Palace's grand formation relies on the North Sea Spiritual Veins for its existence. If the Spirit Vein weaken, the formation's power will inevitably be affected.

Although the impact is negligible at the moment, if this continues...

"It seems the Demon Court... can't wait any longer."

Xuandu slowly rose to his feet, his expression calm:

"It's alright."

"Having chosen this path, I had anticipated it."

He looked at Kunpeng:

"Fellow Daoist, do you still have any intention of retreating at this moment?"

A fierce glint flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"Retreat? Where to retreat to?"

"Since Di Jun Taiyi have already become suspicious, even if Poor Daoist turn back now, how much will they believe me?"

"Having made the decision, there is no turning back!"

Seeing Kunpeng's resolute decision, Xuandu secretly thought that everything was settled.

He was still pondering that Kunpeng was, after all, Demon Master of the Demon Court, with a special status and too many Karma entanglements.

Without sufficient External Force them, this person will inevitably harbor some hesitation and wishful thinking.

Unexpectedly, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's secret act of severing the North Sea Spiritual Veins became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

This action not only failed to frighten or deter Kunpeng, but instead completely severed his last shred of hesitation.

What a divine assist!

Xuandu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was already excited.

If it weren't for Kunpeng's special identity and the impending Great Tribulation, which would affect the fate of the Demon Court, he, as the Jie Sect Vice Sect Master, could have naturally allowed Kunpeng to join the Interception Sect on the spot.

However, the situation is now delicate. Di Jun Taiyi have become suspicious, and the secret of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array is of great importance. It is still necessary to inform our master and let the Sage make a decision on this matter to ensure its safety.

Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Sect Leader Tongtian was closing his eyes and concentrating on comprehending the True Meaning of Sword Dao.

The Qingping Sword hung behind him, its Sword Intent restrained, yet concealing a hidden sharpness capable of severing eternity.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

The command token in his sleeve trembled slightly, and a wisp of clear light overflowed from it, transforming into a condensed Spiritual Sense that entered the depths of his Saint Heart.

This was a message from Xuandu, sent from the North Sea.

The Sect Leader Tongtian swept his Spiritual Sense over it.

"Kunpeng intends to betray the Demon Court and join my Interception Sect, offering a flaw in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array as a Pledge of Allegiance?"

The Sect Leader Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of Sword Light appearing in them, and for the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared on his face.

Good lad!

Although he knew that Xuandu was always bold and meticulous in his actions, often doing things in unexpected ways, he still hadn't expected this.

Having only been out of seclusion for a few days, he first killed Ran Deng in the North Sea, forced Yuanshi to retreat, and captured the Black Tortoise.

Now they've even managed to persuade Kunpeng, the Demon Master?

Of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, apart from Hong Yun who had long since perished, the rest were like the Ancestor Minghe who guarded the Blood Sea, Zhen Yuanzi who lived in seclusion on Longevity Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West who ruled the Jade Pool of West Kunlun...

Which of these ancient beings hasn't endured countless years, their Dao Heart Panshi?

Having long since transcended worldly affairs, either Self-Reliance or living in seclusion, why would they easily change their allegiance?

Even the one Ran Deng, when he entered the Chan Sect, did so because the path to the Great Dao was cut off, and he wanted to borrow the fortune of the Sage's lineage to glimpse A Chance for Transcendence.

But the Kunpeng is different.

Kunpeng was forced to join the Demon Court by Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

It's different from the time of Fuxi and Nuwa.

With the great calamity approaching and the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King imminent, this is a time when manpower is in high demand. How could he choose to betray the Demon Court and join the Interception Sect at this crucial moment?

This is not merely a change of allegiance; it places oneself in the position of a mortal enemy of the Demon Court!

Wutian determination, it is absolutely impossible!
