The Styx Ancestor said calmly, "Allies are nothing more than a matter of interests and trends. Di Jun and I couldn't reach an agreement later, so the alliance naturally broke down. But today, I'm not here to talk to you about that. I'm here to introduce someone to you."
He was naturally referring to the mysterious figure behind him. Dijiang was so curious that he wished he could tear off the man's cloak as soon as possible—
But in negotiations, the one who is more eager is always more likely to suffer a loss.
Dijiang, seemingly unconcerned, said, "I'm not in a good mood lately and don't want to see anyone. If you're going to introduce me to someone else, then forget it."
The Styx Ancestor said, "I guarantee that after you listen to him, you will be eager to get to know him."
"oh?"
Dijiang was clearly intrigued. After some thought, he let the servants into the hall, dismissed them, and sat down in his seat with little interest.
The mysterious man removed his hood, revealing his face, and Dijiang immediately stood up from his seat!
"You—you're not—how did you get here?!"
"Why would I come here?" the man laughed. "Of course I have something to do. Great Ancestor Dijiang, aren't you curious about who leaked the news that Pangu's blood essence existed in Chaos, thus luring you there?"
Dijiang's aura instantly became intense and excited. After a moment, he steadied himself and smiled. "Of course I'm curious! Well then, someone, quickly summon the other Ancestral Witches! Our honored guest from the Witch Clan has arrived! Demon Master, please take the seat of honor!"
The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction, removed his hood, and a flash of candlelight illuminated his face.
—The Demon Master, Kunpeng.
"...Taiyi killed Jumang first, and Dijun then plotted to kill Zhurong and Gonggong. Your Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation is now completely useless. Don't you hate it?"
"I hate it, of course I hate it! Damn Di Jun, damn Tai Yi!!" Di Jiang flapped his wings and overturned the teacup on the table, then glared fiercely at Kunpeng. "And what about you? What are your schemes that made you betray the demon race to tell me?"
Kunpeng smiled slightly: "Of course I have a plan. As you know, even though your Wu Clan's formation is destroyed, the Demon Clan will also suffer a great loss of strength if they lose me, their third-ranked combatant. If a real battle breaks out, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"Then what exactly are you plotting? You are a dignified demon master of the demon race! You are third in the demon race, below the second-ranking demon and above all other demons. What benefits would you gain from cooperating with us?!"
Kunpeng said, "The benefit is simple: I want the Eastern Emperor Bell."
Dijiang paused.
"So what if I'm a demon master? It just sounds good! Now Di Jun is already on guard against me. I have no power, my subordinates have died tragically, and my cultivation can't improve—"
His tone grew increasingly gloomy: "I just want to become stronger. Let's cooperate. I'll become a spy, and then turn the tables on you when it's most crucial! After we kill Di Jun and Tai Yi, I'll take his Eastern Emperor Bell, and you can support me to become the new Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan. Then we, the Witch and Demon, will officially cooperate. What do you think?"
Houtu said urgently, "Elder brother, I think it's feasible! The demon race has deeply insulted our race. I will not be at peace if we don't kill them!"
Xuanming and the other ancestral witches nodded repeatedly.
"Exactly! Brother, this is definitely a good idea! The strongest among the demon race are Di Jun and Tai Yi, and below them is Kun Peng! If Kun Peng is cooperating with us, how could Di Jun and Tai Yi possibly think of it?"
"Aside from those three, the remaining Golden Crow Prince, Fuxi, Nuwa, the Ten Demon Saints and the Six Great Saints of the Witch Clan are nothing. Why should we be afraid of them?"
"Prince Jinwu is still imprisoned in Tanggu. If he makes a move, we can go and beg the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor will surely kill him!"
