Her knees were in excruciating pain, but she dared not rub them. In her heart, she cursed Jinwu and wished she could kick him, but she also felt too heartbroken to do so.
He argued with Dijiang because of her.
Dijiang —
Dijiang —
It's all because of this bastard!
If she can still leave Zixiao Palace alive, one day she will take revenge on Dijiang!
“Dao Ancestor, this was my son’s impulsive act. If you wish to punish him, I will have no complaints.”
In the midst of a terrifying silence, Di Jun broke the stillness with a deep voice, his gaze fixed intently on the Heavenly Dao: "However, my demon race does not agree with Di Jiang's words."
The Daoist Master asked, "What is it that you disagree with?"
"The demon race all knows that Tonggong and my son are in love and that she is the future crown princess. How can she go to the witch race as a hostage? Since the two races are supposed to stop the war and make peace, the goal is for both sides to be sincere and harmonious. If we force her to send a hostage, wouldn't that just exacerbate the conflict?"
The Dao Ancestor disagreed: "Even if a weapon takes human form, it is still just a weapon. How can it be a crown princess? You should have your Golden Crow choose a female demon who is more suitable."
Chen Yao opened his mouth to scream, but Tong Su blocked his mouth tightly. His eyes were almost bloodshot. Tong Su felt heartbroken, but she gritted her teeth and shook her head at him.
You can't speak anymore.
You can't speak anymore.
He has already offended Dijiang; he cannot afford to offend the Dao Ancestor any further!
Heaven is just waiting to find his faults and kill him!
Dijiang laughed loudly: "Your Majesty Dijun, what my Wu clan wants is neither innate spiritual treasures nor acquired supreme treasures, but merely your mere magic weapon, the Crimson Bow. Why is Your Majesty unwilling to accept it? Do you perhaps think that the peace between the Wu and Yao clans, and the lives of those millions of Yao subjects, are not as important as a single Crimson Bow?!"
These words were scathing, and the entire demon camp was in turmoil, with constant questioning and protests. Di Jun's resolute face stiffened, and he opened his mouth but could not utter a sound.
Tong Su was momentarily distracted and failed to cover Chen Yao's mouth. Chen Yao pushed her away, raised his blood-red eyes to stare at the Heavenly Dao, and hissed out each word one by one:
"No, she is no longer... Father's bow, she is... mine, mine!"
"Yours?" Dijiang said, "Tsk tsk, that's troublesome. Since it's no longer His Majesty Dijun's bow, His Majesty Dijun's words don't count. We need to ask the real person involved. Dao Ancestor, why don't I just ask the bow itself? Ask it if it's willing to be a hostage, would that be alright?"
"Of course."
Dijiang laughed loudly, and with a flap of his wings, a surging pressure suppressed Tongsu: "Tonggong, are you willing or not?"
"...I, no—Aaaaaaah!"
The oppressive aura felt like a thousand knives piercing her heart in an instant. Tong Su felt excruciating pain all over her body. How could the power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal possibly contend with that of a Daluo Golden Immortal? She screamed in agony as she was forcibly transformed back into her original form!
A three-zhang-long red divine bow materialized from the Zixiao Palace.
His body trembled violently, and the pressure made him creak and groan as if he were about to break!
All of Chen Yao's emotions were instantly replaced by terror. He felt a chill run through his body: "A-Tong? A-Tong! A-Tong, no, A-Tong, please don't—"
Taiyi instinctively tried to intervene, but the Heavenly Dao unleashed a power that imprisoned all the demons in place, rendering them unable to move.
Unaware of what was happening, Chen Yao roared and tried to rush forward to hug Tong Gong, but Di Jiang waved his hand to separate him, increasing the pressure he exerted on Tong Gong: "Do you agree or not?"
Tong Su was in so much pain that she almost lost consciousness. Her whole body was convulsing uncontrollably, and the bowstring was stretched to its limit, as if it would snap at any moment!
"Ah Tong! Ah Tong!!"
