Chapter 197 Transfer
If all else fails, he can self-destruct; aside from anything else, he can certainly take the lives of several Ancestral Witches.
"If you still care about your children, you are not allowed to wage war against the world, nor are you allowed to secretly harm Chang Hao. If you dare to do so, our marriage will be severed immediately." Xi He's face was resolute. She could not, and could not bear to, leave such a terrible future for her children.
As long as Di Jun is alive, the demon race exists; when Di Jun dies, the demon race falls apart. The demon prince is like a rootless duckweed; this identity not only cannot provide protection, but on the contrary, it is a death warrant.
Her children were already struggling without their parents' protection, how could she bear to leave behind such immense karma, making their situation even worse?
"Chang Hao said that unless he dies, the Sword of Slaughtering Witches will not succeed. Heaven has the will, and the moment Chang Hao dies will be the moment Taiyi perishes." Taiyi also took drastic measures to prevent Dijun and Chang Hao from killing each other.
"Taiyi, Xihe, how could you... how could you say such things?" Dijun was terrified. If he had any ulterior motives, they had all vanished in fear.
“You all…” Di Jun faced the situation of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone, “Whom am I doing all this for? Forget it.”
If Taiyi dares to unilaterally bind himself to Chang Hao, what else wouldn't he do? He's scared, why risk being betrayed and abandoned by everyone for the sake of the Slaughtering Witch Sword?
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Think about karma and believe in the fate of the demon race. The Slaughtering Witch Sword is powerful, but who knows if some villain secretly used your hands to forge it for himself? You can't be confused, brother, please think it over." Taiyi earnestly tried to persuade Dijun to change his mind.
"Lend me your hands to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword..." Di Jun's expression was dazed. Yes, one should not only consider immediate convenience when doing things, but should also consider the overall situation. If the Witch-Slaying Sword is completed, who will benefit the most?
"Chang Hao said that the Slaughtering Witch Sword was devised by Rahu, with the aim of severing the fate of the demon race and disrupting the operation of the Heavenly Dao?" Di Jun suddenly asked.
Taiyi thought for a moment and nodded decisively: "That's right, Chang Hao did say that."
"So, that Rahu is standing on the opposite side of the Dao Ancestor? The words of the demonic path, Rahu is a demon?" Di Jun was horrified. If what Chang Hao said was true, then he had become a knife in Rahu's hand without even realizing it.
“Taiyi, go secretly to Chang Hao behind everyone’s back and ask Luo Hou,” Di Jun paced back and forth in the hall like a trapped beast. “And ask him for advice. He is always cunning and knows how to assess the situation. See if he has a way to break the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation.”
"What about the Sword of Slaughtering the Witch?" Taiyi wanted a definite answer.
"Stop for now. I will order all demon tribes to stop hunting and killing humans to use their souls as sacrifices for their swords." Di Jun's heart was in his throat.
"Thank you, brother. I'll go right away." Taiyi moved with light steps, showing no trace of the difficulty he had shown when he first entered.
“Taiyi, wait a minute,” Xihe called out to Taiyi. “Wait for me a moment. I’m packing some things that I might need. Could you take them to Changhao on your way?”
"Sister-in-law, why don't you nephews go and see for yourselves?" Taiyi was puzzled, but he thought it wouldn't hurt to just take a look.
"Wait a little longer, it's not the right time yet. I'm worried that it might attract unwanted attention and put Xiao Shi and the others in danger."
Xihe longed to see it, but the bond between mother and son was unbreakable. She feared that if she saw it, she would be reluctant to part with it, and she also feared that Changhao would be reluctant to part with it. So she decided not to see it to avoid being caught in a dilemma.
Taiyi sighed, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the Eastern Palace."
"Di Jun, I hope you will keep your word." Xi He flicked her sleeves and left the Lingxiao Palace, heading directly towards the Taiyin Star.
“Changxi…” Xihe couldn’t find Changxi anywhere.
"Sister, why are you here at this time?" Chang Xi emerged from the treetop. "How is the progress of Di Jun's Slaughtering Witch Sword?"
"Don't even mention it. That Witch-Slaying Sword was a conspiracy from beginning to end. Your brother-in-law almost fell for it." Xihe was still very scared when she mentioned it.
"It's actually a conspiracy. But I've used that broken sword before, and it was indeed extremely damaging to the Witch Clan. If it really is a conspiracy, it's unbelievable." Chang Xi was taken aback. The Witch-Slaying Sword wasn't useless; it was far too useful.
“The Sword of Slaughtering Witches is powerful, but neither you nor I can guarantee that it will end up in Emperor Jun’s hands,” Xihe said meaningfully.
"What?!" Chang Xi exclaimed in shock. "Sister, do you mean someone is plotting against the demon race?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Xihe said calmly. "If no one had plotted against us, how could the Lich Kings have reached this point of no return?"
“That’s true,” Chang Xi said belatedly. “It’s outrageous. I don’t want to find out who it is.”
“It’s no use saying all this now. I’ve come tonight to entrust you with a very important matter,” Xihe said solemnly. “It concerns your nephew’s future.”
“Sister, please speak. I will do it even if it costs me my life,” Changxi said solemnly.
“It’s not that serious,” Xihe chuckled. “It’s just that Dijun plans to fight the Wu Clan to the death. When that happens, it will be chaotic everywhere. I’m worried that someone might take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble in the rear of the Demon Court’s defenses. If they were to sweep up the Demon Court’s treasury, it would be a huge loss.”
"Sister, I had overlooked this," Changxi said, having been helping manage the Demon Court's finances. Now that Xihe had brought it up, she felt a chill run down her spine. "Sister, do you mean to temporarily move all the rare and precious materials from the public treasury and hide them on the Taiyin Star?"
“No, although the Moon Shadow Guards exist on the Taiyin Star, they were absolutely no match for the Quasi-Saints of the Primordial World back then. So, Sister wants to place them in a place that no one would expect,” Xihe explained patiently.
“That makes sense. If they can’t find any rare treasures in the Demon Court, they’ll naturally look for them among the stars.” Chang Xi realized he had oversimplified things.
"Let's go, sister. I'll take you to the laurel tree in the sky. We can talk in detail there." Chang Xi led Xi He into the place she had just discovered.
"If I had discovered this place earlier, I would be a quasi-saint at the peak today," Chang Xi said dejectedly.
"Alright, what I gain is my fate, and what I lose may not be a bad thing. Why be so demanding?" Xihe comforted Changxi. It's better this way now. Changxi is in the second line and should be safe from danger.
"Sister, tell me. This place is isolated from the Heavenly Dao, so there are no villains spying in the dark." Changxi waited for Xihe to tell him the arrangements.
"I plan to move the warehouse and temporarily place it in Chang Hao's hands. After the war, I will ask Chang Hao to take it back." Xi He's calm words startled Chang Xi, who jumped up.
"Sister, what did you say? Did I hear that right?" Chang Xi carefully observed Xi He's expression. Seeing her sister's calm demeanor, she didn't seem to have gone mad.
Chang Xi was far from being so insane as to hand over the warehouse to someone else; if he did, it would be difficult to get it back later.
