Demon Court Shaken, Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array Rises!
Ji Meng hurriedly went to report to Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
But the moment he stepped into the hall, his steps faltered.
Because Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had extremely gloomy expressions.
Your Majesties turned their gazes toward the void outside the palace, which was a Chaos expanse illuminated by the Blood Qi of Myriad Human Race.
They... had already seen it.
How vast is the Spiritual Sense of Quasi-Saint Peak?
From the moment Xuandu swept up Myriad Human Race and soared into the sky, its vast and powerful momentum, defying the heavens, was impossible to miss.
Ji Meng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the words he was about to report.
He bowed silently, retreated to the shadows on one side of the Great Hall, lowered his head, and even his breathing became barely audible.
Speaking now would be tantamount to playing with fire.
Dead silence.
Only the deep humming sound, a convergence of Myriad Human Race, emanating from the distant void outside the palace, impacted the minds of every demon.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a deep, resolute quality that was unsettling.
As if declaring:
The Human Race has arrived.
... just a moment later.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Powerful and obscure auras surged from all directions of the Demon Court, tearing through the sky and hurtling towards this place!
The first thing to arrive was a Pure White Auspicious Light.
As the light faded, a middle-aged man in a white robe with a refined appearance was revealed. He held a feather fan, but his brows betrayed a deep and undisguised seriousness.
It was Bai Ze, the Leader of the Ten Great Demon Gods.
He bowed slightly to Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
He then stood silently in the hall, his gaze sweeping over the scene outside, a trace of worry flashing deep in his pupils.
Immediately afterwards.
The Ghost Chariot descended, accompanied by Nine-Headed Yin Wind. The nine heads and eighteen eyes all looked out of the hall, emitting a low hiss.
Qin Yuan was surrounded by Poisonous Miasma miasma, and wherever he went, even the void was corroded with tiny holes.
Fei Lian rides the raging wind, Shang Yang walks on the waves, Jiu Ying heads and breathes water and fire, Ci Tie is as black as iron, Ying Zhao has wings on his back, Fei Dan, Qin Yuan... Ten Great Demon Gods have gathered!
Every face bore an unprecedented solemnity and... a hint of barely perceptible fear.
Xuandu!
Hundred Year Hunyuan, the Sword Slaying Ran Deng, forcing Yuanshi, the North Sea capturing the Black Tortoise, recruiting the Kunpeng... one event after another, all of them were subverting their understanding.
Now, this Jinx Star has actually led Myriad Myriad Human Race to directly surround the Demon Court?
What is he trying to do?
Is this truly a move to ignite a full-scale war between the Great Teachings of the Saints and the Demon Court?
"His Your Majesty."
Bai Ze finally spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse:
"Xuandu's move... is intended to force the emperor to abdicate."
"He used his Hunyuan Magic to coerce Myriad Human Race into besieging the Southern Heaven. If we intervene to disperse or harm his Human Race, he will have a legitimate excuse to openly wage war against our Demon Court as the Jie Sect Vice Sect Master."
"If we don't make a move..."
Bai Ze paused, then gave a wry smile:
"Then this extraordinary spectacle of Myriad Human Race surrounding the heavens will be known throughout the Great Wilderness, becoming an eternal shame for my Demon Court."
"At that time, not only will the Witch Clan ridicule us, but Great Wilderness Myriad Races will probably look down on my Demon Court."
"Dilemma."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive.
The nine heads of the Ghost Chariot roared simultaneously:
"Then let's fight!"
"Human Race nothing but ants!"
"No matter how strong Xuandu, he is still just one person. Do you think my Demon Court's Myriad Demon Soldiers and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array are afraid of him?"
"Shut up!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi suddenly turned his head, his eyes almost bursting forth with the Solar True Fire:
"Beat?"
"You think you can defeat Xuandu?"
"Or can you withstand the Tongtian Sword?"
The Ghost Chariot froze, its nine heads shrinking back simultaneously, daring not to speak again.
The Sect Leader Tongtian.
These four words weighed heavily on the hearts of every demon.
If that Sage who wields the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which cannot be broken by any but the Four Sages, were to descend upon the Demon Court because of the Xuandu incident... the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Big brother."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging anger, and looked at Di Jun:
"How can this situation be broken?"
Di Jun remained silent.
His gaze remained fixed outside the hall, his fingertips tapping lightly on the armrest of the throne, producing a rhythmic and muffled sound.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse:
"This young man, Xuandu... is meticulous in his thinking and ruthless in his methods."
"He calculated my and my Second Brother's temperaments, he calculated the face of the Demon Court, and he calculated even more... the bottom line of the Sage Tongtian."
He paused, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes:
"This is an open conspiracy."
"If I were to take action, it would mean a full-scale war with the Interception Sect. At that time, the Witch Clan would reap the benefits, and the balance of power in the Great Calamity would inevitably tilt."
"If I don't take action..."
Di Jun clenched his fist tightly, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the armrest:
"The Demon Court's prestige has been utterly destroyed, and my position as Heavenly Emperor will become a joke."
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
Lose on both sides.
"Are we just going to let him run rampant outside the Demon Court?"
The Jiu Ying couldn't help but growl, its nine heads simultaneously spewing water and fire, melting a deep crater in a Coiled Dragon Golden Pillar beside it.
"When has my demon race ever suffered such humiliation?"
"Even when Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan came together, they dared not surround my Heavenly Gate like this!"
The Demon God Fei Lian and Shang Yang also had grim expressions, their chests heaving, and their Yao Qi leaking out uncontrollably.
Shame!
This is utter disgrace!
Surrounded by Myriad Myriad Human Race, they could only watch helplessly?
This is even more unacceptable than the setback suffered on the East Sea Coast a century ago!
"Of course not."
Di Jun slowly stood up.
His body was enveloped in a surge of dark golden Solar True Fire, which transformed into a magnificent phantom of a sun that hovered behind him, illuminating the entire Great Hall as bright as day!
The terrifying pressure of Quasi-Saint Peak was released without reservation, causing the void inside the hall to shatter inch by inch!
"Xuandu a legitimate reason to attack..."
Di Jun's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, word by word:
"Then I will give him a name!"
He looked at Bai Ze:
"Issue my decree."
"Activate the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array."
"Use the Star Power to completely seal off the void ten thousand miles outside the Demon Court."
"Isolate both inside and outside, prohibit all passage."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze was taken aback at first, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes:
"Your Majesty intends to..."
"Good."
Di Jun sneered:
"Xuandu is using the Human Race as a shield to force me to take action."
"Then I will use the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array as a prison to confine him and those Myriad Myriad Human Race... outside the Demon Court."
"I want to see whether he loses his temper first, or I lose my patience first."
Upon hearing this plan, all the Demon Gods were taken aback, but then they all showed expressions of sudden realization.
Brilliant!
They neither dispersed the enemy nor attacked them.
They simply used the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to set up a blockade, trapping Xuandu and the Human Race in place.
In this way, neither the Human Race was harmed, nor was Xuandu given a pretext to start a war, and the face of the Demon Court was preserved.
After all, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array was originally a defensive array of the Demon Court, so activating its protective function was perfectly reasonable.
More importantly... trapping Xuandu means temporarily keeping him outside the Demon Court.
As time went on, the news spread, and all living beings in the Great Wilderness would only think that the Demon Court had suppressed Xuandu's arrogance with its supreme formation, rather than that the Demon Court had been cowardly.
As for how Xuandu will break the formation, that's his business.
If you can't break free, you'll remain trapped and become a laughingstock.
If it's broken... then it's an active attack on the Demon Court's grand formation, giving the Demon Court a reason to retaliate!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Bai Ze immediately bowed, his worry lessening slightly.
The other Demon God were also invigorated and responded in unison:
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Di Jun nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the outside of the hall, a cold glint in his eyes:
"Xuandu ..."
"I'd like to see how you, a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, will break my Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array."
