Chen Xuan sat on the ox cart, humming a little tune leisurely, when he suddenly heard the sound of a bell.

Immediately after, a flash of fire appeared before him, and a giant three-legged Golden Crow materialized.

This made Chen Xuan inwardly cry out that something was wrong. He was probably encountering Eastern Emperor Taiyi, one of the two great Demon Emperors.

As expected, the three-legged Golden Crow transformed into a young, handsome man in the blink of an eye.

He held a large bell in his hand and stood before Chen Xuan with a face full of killing intent.

Before Chen Xuan could speak, the Great Water Buffalo spoke first, "Who are you, kid? How dare you block the path of this Saint's mount?"

Chen Xuan was almost choked by the Great Water Buffalo's words, thinking to himself that this guy was truly fearless in his ignorance.

However, Eastern Emperor Taiyi ignored the Great Water Buffalo and fixed his gaze directly on Ao Guang.

"Ao Guang, this Emperor has gone to the East Sea Dragon Palace repeatedly, hoping that the Dragon Race would offer the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage and submit to the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

But your Dragon Race has repeatedly made excuses, claiming you have never seen any Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage.

Now the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage is right behind you, how do you explain this?"

At this moment, Ao Guang was so scared that his soul was about to leave his body, not even daring to look directly into Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes.

Ao Guang was scared, but that didn't mean the two oxen were scared. They didn't know anything about the Demon Race Heavenly Court, nor did they know anything about Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Only the Thunder Beast Kui was heard saying angrily, "What's wrong with you, kid? Didn't you hear my brother talking to you?"

"Wait, who are you calling brother? I am a congenital being, you should call me Big Brother!"

These two simpletons absolutely didn't care about time or place, and it looked like they were about to start arguing again.

This made Chen Xuan feel quite speechless. He immediately stood up from the ox cart.

With a flash of his figure, he arrived before Eastern Emperor Taiyi, smiled, bowed, and said, "So it's Martial Uncle Eastern Emperor. May I ask why you are blocking my path?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's attention was entirely on the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage and he hadn't noticed Chen Xuan sitting on the ox cart at all.

When he saw that the person who had arrived was Chen Xuan, he couldn't help but feel a hint of difficulty.

After all, this Chen Xuan was a favored person in front of the Dao Ancestor. If he offended this one, he was truly afraid that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would personally come out to cause trouble.

At the moment, he could only say politely, "So it's little friend Chen Xuan. This Emperor has urgent matters today, so I ask little friend Chen Xuan to wait for a moment.

After this Emperor resolves the matter of the Dragon Race, I will invite little friend to the Heavenly Court as a guest."

After speaking, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze returned to Ao Guang, "Ao Guang, hand over the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage and swear that the Dragon Race will be loyal to the Heavenly Court from now on.

Otherwise, don't blame this Emperor for being merciless today. I will first destroy you, and then destroy the Four Seas Dragon Race."

"Uh, Martial Uncle Eastern Emperor, I'm afraid this Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage cannot be given to you today. Because it is a mount I found for my second martial uncle."

"If Uncle Eastern Emperor wants a mount, I will keep an eye out for you in the future and will definitely find you a satisfactory one."

This couldn't help but make Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression turn extremely gloomy. He glared at Chen Xuan and said, "Little friend Chen Xuan, do not rely on Dao Ancestor's favor for you and disregard this Emperor.

This Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage, this Emperor must take it today. I hope little friend Chen Xuan will assess the situation and not become an enemy of my Demon Race."

Seeing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expressionless face, ready to strike if there was any disagreement.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile again and said, "Then what if I insist on taking this Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage today? Could it be that Uncle Eastern Emperor is planning to kill me to silence me?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi snorted coldly, "Since that is the case, then this Emperor can only apologize to Dao Ancestor another day."

After speaking, he raised the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand and sent it flying directly towards Ao Guang and the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage behind him.

Chen Xuan naturally couldn't just watch as Eastern Emperor Taiyi took Ao Guang and the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage away.

However, whether it was in terms of cultivation or the magic treasures in his hands, Chen Xuan was not qualified to oppose Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Just at this critical moment, a burst of earth element energy soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant fist.

This giant fist smashed directly towards the Eastern Emperor Bell, forcefully knocking the Eastern Emperor Bell flying.

Immediately after, the figure of Ancestral Witch Houtu appeared before Chen Xuan.

Ancestral Witch Houtu nodded at Chen Xuan and said, "Little brother Chen Xuan, tell sister who bullied you, and sister will get revenge for you."

Seeing Houtu arrive, Chen Xuan was naturally happy in his heart. Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face, however, turned incredibly gloomy.

"Houtu, do you even want to meddle in the affairs of my Demon Race? Are you really preparing to provoke a war between the Witch and Demon Races?"

"This Venerable naturally has no interest in managing the affairs of your Demon Race, but you bullied my little brother Houtu, and this matter this Venerable cannot ignore."

Seeing that Houtu had no intention of backing down, Eastern Emperor Taiyi couldn't help but be consumed by rage.

Without another word, he charged towards Houtu. In the blink of an eye, the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Race and Ancestral Witch Houtu of the Witch Race began to fight.

One was a Quasi-Sage of the Demon Race, and the other was an Ancestral Witch of the Witch Race. One possessed supreme magic techniques, and the other possessed the strongest physical body.

When these two started fighting, in the blink of an eye, they stirred up the heavens and earth, making the sun and moon lose their light.

However, Chen Xuan was not in the mood to watch from the sidelines. He immediately sent a secret message to Ao Guang.

After receiving Chen Xuan's command, Ao Guang abandoned the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage and repeatedly swung his massive dragon body.

Each swing could cover a distance of ten thousand li. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

And Chen Xuan was not idle either; he directly put away the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage.

At the same time, several demonic energies flew from the direction of the Heavenly Court. There was no need to ask; it must be the reinforcements from the Demon Race.

The person leading them was none other than the current Demon Master Kunpeng. Behind him stood several Demon Generals of the Demon Race, including Ji Meng, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, and Gui Che.

Seeing that Houtu was locked in a fierce battle with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they immediately surrounded Houtu without a word.

Seeing that the Demon Race was preparing to win with fewer numbers, Chen Xuan naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing.

His figure flashed, and he appeared beside Houtu. "The Demon Race is so shameless, actually preparing for a group fight. Since that's the case, then I, Chen Xuan, cannot sit idly by."

He said this as if he truly had great abilities. Little did he know that with his Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, he was only on par with one of the Demon Generals.

However, Chen Xuan's background was there; behind him were not only the Three Pure Ones but also the lofty Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

This couldn't help but make Demon Master Kunpeng look at Eastern Emperor Taiyi with difficulty, unsure of what to do for a moment.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi naturally knew what Demon Master Kunpeng meant and immediately said, "Little friend Chen Xuan wishes to visit the Heavenly Court as a guest.

You all take little friend Chen Xuan to the Heavenly Court first. This Emperor will arrive shortly."

Upon receiving Eastern Emperor Taiyi's command, those few Demon Generals immediately surrounded Chen Xuan.

Demon Master Kunpeng, however, went directly towards Houtu, preparing to fight Houtu alongside Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
