Taiyi said, “Demon Master, you must be aware of the current situation in the prehistoric world. We are both caught in this situation and cannot escape. Our only chance is to fight to the death. Otherwise, the Wu Clan will annihilate us without the help of the saints.”
Kunpeng understood this principle and knew that what Taiyi said was inevitable. Helplessly, he said, "This is something that can't be helped. Your Majesty, please tell me what you need me to do." Kunpeng's address of "Your Majesty" was sincere. After learning Taiyi's true nature, he knew that he was no match for Taiyi and had no choice but to submit.
"How is the Zhou Tian Star Array being refined?" Taiyi nodded and asked.
"All 365 Zhou Tian Star Banners have been forged; now all that's missing is the He Tu and Luo Shu," the Demon Master said.
“The Hetu and Luoshu have been taken back by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and it’s estimated that they can’t be retrieved. Is there any way to find something else to replace them?” Taiyi asked, frowning.
"It is possible, but the power will inevitably be greatly reduced, and at most it can only trap four Ancestral Witches at the same time," the Demon Master said truthfully.
Taiyi paused to think for a moment, then said, "It's alright, four Ancestral Witches are enough. Go and rehearse the great formation in preparation for battle." After saying that, he put away the Chaos Bell.
The demon master nodded, bowed, and then withdrew.
Taiyi rested his chin on his hand on his throne and pondered for a while before standing up, calling Xiao Shi over, and saying to him, "Come with me."
Taiyi led Xiao Shiyi forward and arrived at Nuwa Palace. Lingzhuzi was already waiting outside. Upon seeing Taiyi, she led them inside.
Nuwa was sitting on her cloud bed when Taiyi entered and bowed to her. Nuwa accepted the bow, helped Taiyi up, and said, "I know your purpose. Rest assured, I am of the demon race and will protect him."
Taiyi nodded and said, "Taiyi thanks Your Majesty." Then she turned to Xiao Shi and said, "From now on, you will be called Lu Ya. Follow Goddess Nuwa well. Before you reach the level of a Quasi-Saint, you must not venture out lightly. I know you have absorbed the essence of the Great Witch Kuafu. Give me that yellow gourd, and I will refine a magic weapon for you." Lu Ya took out the gourd and handed it to Taiyi. Taiyi did not hesitate and immediately began refining it in Nuwa Palace. After it was finished, she handed it to Lu Ya, saying, "This gourd will be called the 'Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.' It can emit a white light to fix the primordial spirit. It can slay all immortals, gods, ghosts, and monsters. Refine it well and use it for self-defense." She then took out a small booklet and handed it to Lu Ya, saying, "This booklet records many secret techniques of my demon race. You can read it in your spare time..." She paused for a moment, "The matter of your nine brothers is the will of Heaven and cannot be changed. Hou Yi is dead, so you don't need to worry about him. Cultivate well and don't forget your identity. Remember this!!" After saying this, she bowed deeply to Nuwa and turned to leave Nuwa Palace.
The Twenty-Nine Liches War: Each with Their Own Schemes
The Heavenly Court was ready, but the Witch Clan was also ready to storm the Heavenly Court at any time; both sides had their own plans.
In the Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao, a person dressed in a golden imperial robe was whispering with a person dressed in black. It was Taiyi and the demon master Kunpeng discussing the war between the witch and the demon.
Donghuang Taiyi said, "This war between the Lich and the Demon race is inevitable. However, the two races are evenly matched, and it is impossible for our Demon race to win completely. Even if we win, our Heavenly Court will not be a match for the many Saints, given our greatly diminished strength. This matter needs to be carefully considered."
Demon Master Kunpeng nodded and said, "Our demon race must win this battle, and we must also ensure that we have enough strength to deal with those saints after the victory. Such a difficult task is probably not easy to accomplish."
"The Witch Clan is powerful, and every member of the Witch Clan is brave and skilled in battle. A Great Witch can even fight three against one, and can face three of my Demon Clan's Demon Gods at the same time without being defeated. This is quite troublesome. Fortunately, the Witch Clan cannot reproduce on its own, so its population is not large. Otherwise, my Demon Clan would have been wiped out long ago," Taiyi Donghuang analyzed.
"Your Majesty, perhaps I have a method that we can try." After listening to Donghuang Taiyi's analysis, the demon master Kunpeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with some ideas.
Donghuang Taiyi said urgently, "Demon Master, please speak quickly!"
"Your Majesty, this war between the Lich and the Demon race is the final battle, a battle that will determine the fate of the world. We can take advantage of the Lich race's weaknesses and act accordingly," Kunpeng said, drawing a circle with his hand.
"The weakness of the Witch Clan? What is it? Demon Master, tell me quickly." Donghuang Taiyi urged, urging Kunpeng to stop when he mentioned the key point.
"Your Majesty, the Wu tribe is small and cannot reproduce on its own. This is exactly what we can use. Your Majesty, please think carefully. In this decisive battle between the Wu and the Demons, the Wu tribe will surely devote all its strength to fighting. We can use the Heavenly Court as bait to lure them to attack, set up the Zhou Tian Star Array to ambush them, and then attack the Wu tribe with a large force. Since the Wu tribe has lost all its experts in this battle, there will definitely not be many experts left in the tribe. We can then wipe them out completely and eliminate any future troubles!" Demon Master Kunpeng said at the end, his face cold and sinister, making people shudder.
After listening to Kunpeng's words, Donghuang Taiyi pondered for a while, then suddenly clenched his right fist into his left hand and said, "This method is feasible. If it succeeds, we can wipe out the Wu Clan in one fell swoop and eliminate future troubles forever."
Having said this, Donghuang Taiyi issued an order, summoning Bai Ze, Ying Zhao, Ji Meng, Fei Dan, and Fei Lian, and said to them, "You will lead five hundred million celestial demons and ten million demon kings to lie in wait in the primordial wilderness. After the Wu tribe invades the Heavenly Court, you will lead your troops into the Wu tribe's territory and slaughter every single one of them! Remember, this battle concerns the fate of the demon race; failure is absolutely not an option. Be extremely careful and do not let the Wu tribe discover you or leak the news. Anyone who leaks the information will face my wrath!" The five bowed and said, "Yes, sir." Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said, "Go. You have all worked hard for the great cause of our demon race." The five bowed again and said, "We swear to die for our demon race. We take our leave." With that, they left the hall to lead their demon troops.
Meanwhile, in the Pangu Temple of the Wu tribe...
Inside the Pangu Palace, a group of ancestral witches were discussing the matter of vanquishing the demon.
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming said, "Our Witch Clan is born with supernatural powers, which has also made us the target of the heavens' jealousy. We cannot reproduce on our own and rely solely on the earth for reproduction, so our numbers have always been small. After several great battles with the Demon Clan, we have lost many of our people. Who knows if any of these dead people will become great witches in the future, perhaps even top-tier witches like Hou Yi? If this continues, our Witch Clan may face extinction. While the Demon Clan has also lost many, they have been born even more in recent years. If this continues, our Witch Clan may disappear from the world."
