As soon as Guiche Dasheng spoke, Shangyang and Xiangliu glared at each other resentfully, but did not continue arguing.
The hall fell silent immediately.
Di Jun pointed at Bai Ze and asked, "Bai Ze! You are a renowned sage among our demon race. Why don't you give us some advice?"
Kunpeng Ancestor was also petty. When he heard Dijun praise Bai Ze, he couldn't help but snort and roll his eyes.
Bai Ze is a wise man among the demons; where does this place the teacher of all demons?
Bai Ze pretended not to see it, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, neither the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun nor the one from Penglai Island are easy to deal with. We must not act rashly..."
"What? What nonsense are you spouting? Are you just going to let it go like this?" Shang Yang interrupted Bai Ze, displeased.
"Shang Yang, shut up!" Di Jun shouted.
Seeing that Di Jun seemed genuinely angry, Shang Yang immediately fell silent and dared not speak.
"Bai Ze, please continue."
"Yes... Kunlun Mountain is one of the ancestral homes of the Xuanmen. Pangu and the Three Pure Ones not only possess great supernatural powers, but also have innate treasures protecting them, and they are backed by the Ancestor Hongjun."
The Western Kunlun Mountains are closely allied with them. To be honest, even if our demon race were to send out all its forces, we would probably not be able to defeat them!
As for Penglai Island, it is also the training ground of His Majesty Taiyi's disciples, and the couple are protective of their own.
Besides, that junior only captured three people; Hanguang and the others didn't die at his hands. If we go to him, do you think we can demand his life?
The key issue is that Hanguang and his group were in the wrong from the start; who told them to seize the Daoist temple of the Shangqing Sect…
At this point, Bai Ze shook his head. Han Guang was really unlucky to have offended the disciples of Xuanmen and Taiyi. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be discussing this here; they would have already gathered their forces and stormed over.
"That's true..."
After hearing Bai Ze's analysis, everyone shook their heads.
This Han Guang is utterly inconspicuous; does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he joined the demon race?
They don't even consider whether they can afford to mess with the enemy before they take action...
"So, in your opinion, should we just let it go like this?" Di Jun asked, rubbing his temples.
Bai Ze certainly understood why Di Jun was in a dilemma. After all, if the matter of Han Guang were to spread, and the demon race remained silent, wouldn't that make people look down on the demon race?
So he said, "Fellow Daoists, we certainly cannot leave Han Guang without avenging him, but that's a matter for the future. Right now, the key is Zhu Rong and Gong Gong."
If we were to actually send troops to fight the Three Pure Ones to the death, and they were to take advantage of our misfortune, wouldn't that be extremely disastrous?
Gonggong: "..."
Zhu Rong: "..."
What does this have to do with us...?
...
Upon hearing this, Di Jun nodded repeatedly, "Bai Ze, you're right. We absolutely cannot let those two fools reap the benefits."
It now seems that before heading to Kunlun to settle scores with Shangqing, we must first deal with them and eliminate any future worries.
That's great!
This way, they wouldn't have to fall out with the Three Pure Ones or Taiyi, nor would they risk being looked down upon by others.
As for whether Gonggong and Zhurong were innocent.
That was out of his consideration; after all, the two sides had already fought so many battles, and their enmity had already run deep.
"Your Majesty is wise." Bai Ze praised.
"Alright! Everyone, go back and prepare yourselves. We will launch an attack on Zhurong in a month!"
The others in the hall were utterly astonished to see the emperor and his minister talking back and forth, their conversation swirling around the topic of avenging Han Guang and then turning to the campaign against Gong Gong. They were speechless.
But this is for the best.
We're all old rivals. It's better to go after Gonggong and Zhurong than to fight the Three Pure Ones to the death.
And so, united in their hatred of the enemy, they prepared to go back and pack their bags before going to cause trouble for Gonggong.
Even the Kunpeng Ancestor and Shang Yang did not object.
Although they admired Luo Dijun's reputation, they never really intended to fight the Three Pure Ones for the sake of a dead man!
Gonggong was unaware that disaster was about to strike him from the sky while he was sitting at home...
...
A month later, the demon race, led by Di Jun, marched in a mighty force towards the Gonggong tribe.
The Gonggong tribe and the Zhurong tribe were adjacent to each other, separated only by the Yellow River. After learning that the Gonggong tribe had been targeted by the demon race, they hurriedly led their tribesmen to provide assistance.
The two tribes fought another great battle, which resulted in rivers of blood and darkness.
Seeing that he could not defeat Gonggong and Zhurong in the end, Dijun simply surrounded the Gonggong tribe and continued to recruit other demon clans for support.
...
Penglai Island.
Hu Le and Duo Bao were completely unaware of the great battle on the banks of the Yellow River. They were still leisurely traveling around the East China Sea, unaware that someone had shielded them from disaster.
On this day, Hu Le was discussing Taoism with Duo Bao in the palace when a celestial maiden suddenly came in to report that Zi Wei and Gouchen had brought several brothers to pay their respects.
He was slightly surprised, as this was the first time his young men had come to his Penglai Island. So, he ordered his men to welcome them in.
The two sides exchanged greetings, and Hu Le then introduced Duo Bao to them.
After everyone was seated, Hu Le asked them why they had come.
Ziwei didn't stand on ceremony and immediately explained their purpose.
It turned out that some time ago, when the brothers were playing in the primeval starry sky, they accidentally encountered the ten sons of the Demon Emperor. The two sides had a conflict due to some quarrels, so they agreed to have a battle in the star sea to determine who was superior.
They came here to ask their senior brother, Hu Le, to stand as their witness and provide support...
After hearing this, Hu Le couldn't help but smile and agreed.
It's just the kids being silly; it shouldn't cause any big commotion.
Duobao was speechless after hearing this, but since it was a matter between Taiyi's disciples, he couldn't comment. Besides, he had been playing in the East Sea for a long time and was already thinking about leaving, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Hu Le tried to persuade him to stay, but realizing that he was determined to leave, he stopped trying and, together with the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, escorted him all the way to the edge of the island...
Next, Ziwei and the others rested on Penglai Island for a day, where Hu Le warmly entertained them.
The next day, they left Penglai and flew straight to the primordial starry sky.
After flying for a long time, they finally arrived at the agreed location, on a huge and lifeless star.
At this moment, the Demon King's ten sons were already waiting there.
Upon seeing Ziwei and the others arrive, the old man stepped forward and shouted, "Why did it take you so long? I thought you were too scared to come!"
Ziwei scoffed, "Afraid? You think you can outmaneuver a few birdmen like you?"
Di Jun was a three-legged golden crow born from the sun. Lu Yi and the others inherited Di Jun's golden crow bloodline, so it's not wrong for Ziwei to call them little golden crow birdmen.
But to the Lu brothers, it sounded extremely grating.
"Pah! You are supposed to be the son of the Heavenly Emperor, yet you are so ill-mannered, spewing vulgarities. You are simply making a laughingstock of yourself."
As he said this, he seemed to have just seen Hu Le, and pointed at him, shouting, "Well! You bunch of bastards!"
We clearly agreed beforehand that we, the brothers, would handle everything ourselves, but you invited outsiders instead.
Isn't this cheating?
He's utterly unfilial...
