Nuwa had no quarrel with Kunpeng, but he had now willingly entered the tribulation, ambushed the Ancestral Bear and fought him, and even rescued Kong Xuan, who should have met his destined calamity. He had entangled himself in karma. Given Houtu's temperament, she would certainly not spare him. Even if she did, the Heavenly Court and the Witch Race would not.
Kunpeng's fate was already sealed. Not even Vermilion Bird could protect him.
Nuwa could find no justification for saving him, so she could only use the situation to give some careful thought to her Demon Teaching.
Kunpeng had been the Demon Master. Although he had his reasons, he had ultimately betrayed the Demon Race during the War of the Liches and broken with the other demons. He had also killed Red Cloud, offending Zhen Yuanzi, and Red Cloud's reincarnation was now one of the Human Race's Three Sovereigns.
All things considered, eliminating Kunpeng would win their goodwill.
Moreover, Lu Ya, the sole remaining member of the Demon Race's royal family, held little prestige in the Primordial World and lacked the influence needed to rally the demons. After weighing everything repeatedly, Nuwa decided to help Lu Ya eliminate Kunpeng.
