Seeing that the tension had reached a breaking point and a great battle was about to erupt.
With only Chen Xuan and Houtu, they might not necessarily be a match for all those members of the Demon Race.
But Chen Xuan was by no means someone who feared trouble. Since he could not avoid it, he would face it bravely.
At once, Chen Xuan raised his true form, the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, above his head. Streams of mysterious light enveloped and protected him.
With the Profound Origin Water Control Banner suspended overhead, Chen Xuan had first secured himself an invincible position.
At the same time, several demon commanders charged at Chen Xuan. They did not care about fighting one-on-one; all they wanted was to take Chen Xuan to the Heavenly Court.
As demon commanders of the Heavenly Court, they naturally understood the defensive power of the Five Directions Banner.
They immediately brought out their magical treasures and attacked Chen Xuan. They did not intend to kill him, only to break through his defenses and take him away.
But to the demon commanders' surprise, a gleaming white ring flew out from Chen Xuan's hand.
The magical treasures they had unleashed were then sucked into that gleaming white ring beyond their control.
That was right. What Chen Xuan had thrown was the Diamond Cutter Taishang Laozi had given him.
The Diamond Cutter could collect all things beneath heaven. Though it could not compare to Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, much less Daoist Zhunti's Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree, the Treasure Dropping Coin was still no match for it.
When the demon commanders saw their magical treasures vanish, they all stood frozen in place.
Naturally, Chen Xuan would not let such an opportunity slip by. He immediately unfurled the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, and boundless Weak Water spread outward from him.
In the blink of an eye, the demon commanders were trapped within the surging Weak Water.
This Weak Water was no ordinary water. Even a Quasi-Saint would suffer damage to the flesh if they remained within it for too long.
Even Water Ancestral Witch Gonggong, who could control all the waters of the world, could not command the Weak Water. This alone showed how formidable it was.
The demon commanders naturally knew the terror of the Weak Water and hurriedly retreated with all their strength.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan's body slowly became indistinct before finally dissolving into a mist of water and vanishing from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing before Ji Meng, a brilliant smile on his face and one fist tightly clenched.
As Chen Xuan's fist smashed into Ji Meng's face, Ji Meng immediately let out a heart-rending scream.
He could no longer keep his footing and fell straight into the Weak Water, where he was swallowed up in an instant.
Chen Xuan vanished once more and appeared directly above Gui Che.
Another punch flew out, and another demon commander of the Demon Race was knocked down before being swallowed by the rolling Weak Water.
This left the remaining demon commanders trembling with fear, each worried that Chen Xuan's next target would be him.
Yet Chen Xuan returned to his original position and said, "I do not wish to tear things apart with everyone here, so it would be best if we sat down and had a proper talk."
It was not that Chen Xuan truly preferred peace. Rather, he was already at the end of his strength.
Although his true form was the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, he could control the boundless Weak Water for a short time. If it went on too long, even his body would be unable to endure it.
But the demon commanders did not know this. They immediately turned their gazes toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Demon Master Kunpeng.
The two had originally intended to fight Houtu together, but before they could act, they saw Chen Xuan display such overwhelming might.
If Eastern Emperor Taiyi acted directly, the Eastern Emperor Bell could freeze the Weak Water in an instant.
And if Eastern Emperor Taiyi wished to kill Chen Xuan, he could simply reveal his true form, the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Under the searing heat of the Solar True Fire, even the Weak Water would completely evaporate.
But Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not dare strike ruthlessly at Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan's backing was right there, after all.
He could only glare at Chen Xuan and say, "Little Friend Chen Xuan, since you wish to talk, why have you not released my men?"
Chen Xuan had been waiting for Eastern Emperor Taiyi to say exactly that, so he could take the opportunity to withdraw the boundless Weak Water.
Thus, he waved his hand and put away the boundless Weak Water. While Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the others were not paying attention, he slipped a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill into his mouth.
The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, instantly replenishing some of Chen Xuan's magical power. It also slowly helped him recover to his peak state.
At the same time, Houtu retreated to Chen Xuan's side and whispered, "Stall for as long as you can. My elder sister has already sent word to the other Ancestral Witches."
Chen Xuan nodded, then stepped forward two paces and said to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, "At a single word from Uncle Eastern Emperor, I released them.
Speaking of which, I have given Uncle Eastern Emperor this courtesy. Could Uncle Eastern Emperor give me some face as well and treat today's matter as though it never happened?"
Before Eastern Emperor Taiyi could speak, Gui Che bared his fangs and said, "You hit me and now you want to let it end there? Do you really think I, Gui Che, am so easy to bully?"
Seeing Gui Che's ferocious expression, Chen Xuan sighed helplessly.
At the same time, he casually flicked his hand, sending a streak of white light shooting toward Gui Che.
Before Gui Che could react, the Diamond Cutter had already smashed directly into the top of his head.
Though it did not burst Gui Che's brains, it still left him utterly dazed. His body swayed, and he fell from the sky toward the ground.
"I am speaking with Uncle Eastern Emperor. Since when was it your turn to interrupt? I will teach you a lesson today. If there is a next time, I will kill you without mercy."
Chen Xuan snorted before turning his gaze back to Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Uncle Eastern Emperor, Grandmaster entrusted the Demon Race to you and Uncle Di Jun. Is this how you manage your subordinates?
They do not even understand the most basic rules. Now I truly have some doubts as to whether you two uncles are capable of serving as Heavenly Emperors of the Demon Race."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's heart trembled. He truly feared that Chen Xuan would go to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
If Dao Ancestor Hongjun really believed Chen Xuan's words, then their scheme of borrowing the tiger's might would be finished.
Without Dao Ancestor Hongjun's decree to support them, even if their cultivation was the strongest in the Demon Race, they could never gather the entire Demon Race in the Heavenly Court.
Thus, he could only suppress his anger and say, "I will give Little Friend Chen Xuan an explanation for this matter.
However, I ask that you not interfere in the affairs of my Demon Race. Let me take these members of the Dragon Race and the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage away."
The moment Eastern Emperor Taiyi finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the space before him.
Then space tore open, and Dijiang, the Space Ancestral Witch, appeared directly before Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
One after another, ten more elemental auras flew over. The other ten Ancestral Witches had also arrived.
Seeing the Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together, Chen Xuan instantly stood a little straighter.
Just after exchanging greetings with the Ancestral Witches, Chen Xuan saw a Three-legged Golden Crow flying over from the direction of the Heavenly Court. It was none other than Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race.
Following behind Di Jun were dozens of figures, each one a great demon of the Demon Race.
For a time, the principal forces of the Witch and Demon Clans had their first clash because of Chen Xuan.
