Demon Master Kunpeng naturally understood the implications, but the thought of handing over the Hetu Luoshu filled him with immense reluctance.

Back during the Great Lich Tribulation, when the war between the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan reached its climax, he chose to lead a few Demon Marshals and flee to the North Sea.

There was only one purpose for doing so: to obtain Emperor Jun's Hetu Luoshu, even if it meant being called a traitor to the Demon Clan.

But now Hongjun Daozu was asking him to hand over the Hetu Luoshu, so how could he possibly be willing?

Seeing Demon Master Kunpeng's hesitant expression, Hong Ze knew it was time to add fuel to the fire.

He immediately spoke to Demon Master Kunpeng, "Demon Master, there's no need to be troubled. Whether you hand over the Hetu Luoshu or not is not important to me.

All I need is a reply from the Demon Master, a reply that will allow me and Junior Sister Wu Dang to return to Zixiao Palace to report."

At this moment, Wu Dang Mother, who was standing nearby, also understood Hong Ze's meaning and immediately cooperated with Hong Ze, saying,

"Eldest Senior Brother, since the Demon Master is reluctant to part with the Hetu Luoshu, we don't need to waste any more time. Let's just go back to Zixiao Palace to report.

After all, even if we were to try and seize it, we'd have to let Master and our two Senior Uncles do it. We are no match for the Demon Master."

Hong Ze nodded, then bowed to Demon Master Kunpeng, and prepared to leave with Wu Dang Mother.

This couldn't help but worry Bai Ze, who was beside Demon Master Kunpeng, and he quickly spoke to Demon Master Kunpeng.

"Demon Master, this Hetu Luoshu has been in your hands for tens of thousands of years, but you still haven't been able to comprehend even a bit of it.

Perhaps this Hetu Luoshu was never meant to belong to the Demon Marshal. Why not take this opportunity to do Hongjun Daozu a favor?"

Demon Master Kunpeng sighed, "It seems I am indeed fated to be without the Hetu Luoshu. Since that is the case, there is no need to force it."

After saying that, he directly reached out and grabbed into the void, and the Hetu Luoshu instantly appeared in his hand.

Then, Demon Master Kunpeng threw the Hetu Luoshu outwards, and it flew directly towards Hong Ze and Wu Dang Mother.

Seeing the Hetu Luoshu appear before him, Hong Ze was overjoyed, but he didn't show any expression on his face.

Instead, he casually took the Hetu Luoshu while speaking to Demon Master Kunpeng.

"The Demon Master is indeed the Demon Master. To comply with the will of heaven, you are willing to hand over such a precious treasure. This can truly be called a model for all under heaven.

When Fuxi attains the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit in the future, the Heavenly Dao will definitely not forget the Demon Master's contribution today. When heavenly merit descends, the Demon Master will surely have a share."

With Hong Ze's flattery, a hint of a smile couldn't help but appear on Demon Master Kunpeng's face.

"This Hetu Luoshu is of no great use in my hands. It's just that I was reluctant to let it leave the Demon Clan because it was once the accompanying Spiritual Treasure of our Demon Clan's Heavenly Emperor.

Since the Human Race is now destined to flourish, and Fuxi needs it to attain the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit, how can I not help an old friend?"

Demon Master Kunpeng spoke with such righteousness, and Hong Ze didn'tstingy his thumb, immediately giving Demon Master Kunpeng a thumbs up.

At this moment, Bai Ze, who was nearby, spoke, "Since the matter is settled, please come into the Demon Master Palace for a short rest, fellow Daoists. It will also allow the Demon Master to fulfill his duties as host."

Hong Ze shook his head, "I dare not delay Master Ancestor's command. There will be plenty of time to drink in the future.

If the Demon Master and Demon Marshal Bai Ze are fortunate enough to pass by Golden Turtle Island in the future, I, Hong Ze, will definitely sweep the mat to welcome you."

Then he cupped his hands in farewell to Demon Master Kunpeng and Bai Ze, and left the North Sea directly with Wu Dang Mother.

Watching Hong Ze and Wu Dang Mother leave, a look of heartache instantly appeared on Demon Master Kunpeng's face.

"We can only blame the fact that my Demon Clan is no longer as powerful as it once was, otherwise how could we be bullied to this extent?"

Bai Ze, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up to comfort him, "Demon Master, actually, I think this is just the cycle of cause and effect.

Back then, the Demon Clan refined the Witch Slaughtering Sword and killed countless members of the Human Race. Now that the Human Race is destined to flourish, the Demon Clan naturally has to repay this karma."

Demon Master Kunpeng sighed helplessly, then withdrew his troops and returned to the Demon Master Palace.

At this time, Hong Ze and Wu Dang Mother dared not linger for a moment and headed directly towards the Hua Xu Tribe.

After walking tens of thousands of miles, Wu Dang Mother finally let out a long breath.

"Eldest Senior Brother, just now my heart was in my throat, fearing that Demon Master Kunpeng would see through our disguise."

Hong Ze said with a smile, "I calculated that Demon Master Kunpeng wouldn't disbelieve it, and he wouldn't dare to go to Master to verify.

Otherwise, how would I dare to use Master's name to deceive him, Demon Master Kunpeng, in the North Sea?

Remember, anything that can be solved with brains should never be solved with force.

Once it must be solved with force, you must act decisively and without hesitation. If you can kill, absolutely do not leave any chance of survival."

Wu Dang Mother nodded after hearing this, "Wu Dang remembers. I will definitely learn more from Eldest Senior Brother in the future."

Hong Ze immediately showed a smug expression on his face and reached out to pat Wu Dang Mother's shoulder.

"Little girl, there's a lot more to learn. Remember, the world is about human relationships and social etiquette, not just fighting and killing."

"Master means that the Child of the Great Dao has already reincarnated in the Primordial World?" Laozi asked Hongjun Daozu with a look of disbelief.

Hongjun Daozu nodded, "Now that this poor Daoist is a Heavenly Dao Sage, I can use the power of the Heavenly Dao to observe the Primordial World.

However, there is a Great Dao law interfering, making it impossible for this poor Daoist to see clearly in one or two places.

Other than a Great Dao Saint, there is absolutely no second person in this world who can possess the Great Dao law.

And from chaos until now, only Great God Pan Gu alone has been able to reach the realm of a Great Dao Saint.

Although Great God Pan Gu perished after opening the heavens back then, a sliver of life was taken away by the Great Dao energy.

This is also why the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao evolves forty-nine. Because the one that escaped is the Child of the Great Dao."

Hearing Hongjun Daozu's analysis, Laozi couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

At the same time, he also understood Hongjun Daozu's meaning, which was to eliminate the Child of the Great Dao before he grew up.

Because as long as the Child of the Great Dao exists, Hongjun Daozu cannot truly control the entire Primordial World.

Perhaps one day, the Child of the Great Dao will even turn hisspearhead towards Hongjun Daozu, and even the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.

He immediately spoke to Hongjun Daozu, "Master, rest assured, after I return, I will make arrangements and will definitely find that Child of the Great Dao.

Then I will bring him to Zixiao Palace and hand him over to Master for personal disposal, lest he cause chaos in the Primordial World and return it to chaos."

Seeing Laozi being so understanding, Hongjun Daozu couldn't help but nod.

"To avoid causing panic, the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Laozi felt a hint of worry after hearing this and immediately spoke to Hongjun Daozu.

"Master, this disciple cultivates tranquility and non-action, and I only have one disciple, Grand Master Xuandu.

Therefore, this disciple believes that the two junior brothers should search together, so that the Child of the Great Dao can be found faster."
