Everyone in the Demon Court fell into an oppressively heavy silence.
After a moment, Di Jun finally cast a resentful glance toward Great Luo Heaven.
"Damn it! Those two Sages, Laozi and Yuanshi!"
"They went back on their word and plunged our Demon Court into this predicament."
At that moment, Di Jun no longer cared about showing the Sages their supposed reverence.
He spoke outright, all but denouncing Laozi and Yuanshi.
What a pair of screwups!
Those two Sages were absolute screwups.
Had he been capable of defeating them, Di Jun would have stormed Great Luo Heaven right then and demanded an explanation.
Meanwhile.
Below him, the seven Great Demon Saints' expressions shifted.
Though their faces were filled with worry for Bai Ze and the others, they could not help feeling a flicker of relief.
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness I wasn't ordered to attack Mount Shu.
Otherwise, I might have been the one whose body Gu Changqing blasted apart with a single sword strike.
Without question, this incident had made Gu Changqing even more intimidating to the Demon Court's Demon Saints.
Ghost Chariot, Fei Dan, and the others were even thinking to themselves.
From now on, I must give Gu Changqing a wide berth.
Who could have known that, just then...
Taiyi, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"Yingzhao, Ghost Chariot, Fei Dan..."
"You eight Great Demon Saints, lead another billion demons to Mount Shu at once."
"Join forces with Bai Ze and Shangyang, and make certain Gu Changqing is utterly destroyed."
Indeed!
Those were Taiyi's orders.
Moreover, his words demanded that the seven Great Demon Saints show no mercy whatsoever when they struck.
They were to erase Gu Changqing's very existence.
So what if he was a Sage's disciple?
This time, Gu Changqing had truly enraged Taiyi.
