Di Jun Kept His Word! The Demon Court Withdrew First, and the Witch Clan Didn't Want War with Penglai Either

The decree Baize brought wasted few words.

Di Jun clearly knew what had happened in the Eastern Sea.

He did not even ask which side had struck first.

There was only one clear order.

The Demon Army was to leave the Eastern Sea.

It was not to continue fighting the Witch Clan within Penglai's ceasefire zone.

Jimeng accepted the decree.

He swept it with his Divine Sense.

Then he nodded at once.

"I understand."

He did not argue.

Nor did he think the Demon Court had lost face.

After all, Di Jun himself had agreed to those rules with Luxuan.

The Demon Court had announced them to the entire Great Wilderness as soon as it was established.

Now his own forces had crossed the line.

If Di Jun turned a blind eye,

Baize turned to Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming. He cupped his hands and said, "Our forces overstepped when they pursued the enemy into the Eastern Sea. You spared our people, fellow Daoists. The Demon Court will remember that kindness."

Yunxiao returned the salute. "You're too kind, fellow Daoist Baize. What matters is that neither side suffered further casualties after entering the formation."

Jimeng was equally direct.

He had entered the Nine-Bend Cloud River Formation himself and tested it.

He now had a healthy respect for Yunxiao's strength.

"I'll remember this formation," Jimeng said to Yunxiao. "I hope to challenge you again someday."

Yunxiao smiled. "If you wish to come, Senior, Penglai will be ready."

The Rogue Cultivators watching nearby heard their exchange.

Their expressions were complicated.

Especially those who had moved to the Eastern Sea only recently.

They had harbored some doubts.

The Demon Court's power was immense now.

Countless demons rallied to its banner.

And
