However, she never expected that the news would spread to the Nine Heavens and even the Demon Realm.
Si Ming and Bei Xingxiu stood on the roof of a nearby tavern, their robes fluttering, watching with complicated expressions as the High God Shu Yun chatted and laughed with that mortal below.
Around the location of the God Shuyun in Xiliang Street, all the gods and demons spread out and filled the sky.
Seeing is believing; the legendary deity of the Three Realms truly descended to the mortal realm and stayed by his side for the sake of a mortal.
Bei Xingxiu couldn't help but say to Si Ming, "Should we remind the High God?"
Siming's gaze fell on the red ribbons on Shu Yun and Xie Fu's wrists. "What are you reminding them of?"
"The Jade Emperor already knows about that mortal man from Zhu Ji."
Si Ming shook his head. "There's no need."
He raised his chin, gesturing for Bei Xingxiu to look at the High God Shu Yun, "Didn't you see the High God's expression just now? She's completely ignoring all the gods and demonic cultivators standing in the sky. What do you think she's trying to say?"
Bei Xingxiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Who dares to make a move?"
Si Ming looked at the aloof and unassuming Goddess Shu Yun, who hadn't shown such a genuine smile in many years, and said, "Since the Goddess has taken action, she is naturally prepared to be discovered. With her guarding this mortal man, no one dares to touch him."
"The High God himself is aware of this. Penglai has maintained neutrality from beginning to end. If either side loses its composure and attacks that rebellious man first, it will inevitably force Penglai to the other side."
Bei Xingxiu crossed his arms and glanced at the gods and demons standing in the sky. "No wonder the Supreme God is so fearless."
Upon hearing the report from the underworld officials, Si Ming instinctively felt that things were not simple.
Given the nature of this goddess, she might soften her heart and take action if a mortal softens her heart, but it would be quite unusual for her to go on a killing spree against mortals in the human world.
Later, when the Jade Emperor summoned all the immortals of the Nine Heavens for a meeting, Zhu Ji, who had somehow tracked down the gods in the Underworld, not only killed a group of mortals but also saved several others.
To be precise, it was to save one of them.
That person's name is Xie Fu, the current crown prince of the Western Liang Kingdom in the mortal realm.
In his previous life, he was called Jiang Yan, a demonic cultivator who later became the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
If one were to conduct a thorough investigation, one would surely discover that the mortal named Jiang Yan had acquired an extremely high level of cultivation in just a hundred years.
Such extraordinary talent in cultivation was known to only one other person in the Three Realms besides him: Shu Yun, the youngest supreme god in the Three Realms, the daughter of the ancient god Kunlunmu and the previous ruler of Penglai.
As soon as Zhu Ji announced this news, the assembled immortals of the Nine Heavens were all in an uproar.
Tracing back from ancient times to the present, there are quite a few people who are born with immortal bones and rebellious bones, but now, Shu Yun is one thing, Penglai has remained neutral for thousands of years.
This sudden emergence of a rebellious nature would normally have been nipped in the bud if discovered by the gods of the Nine Heavens.
Born with a rebellious nature, one cannot cultivate immortality, but can make rapid progress on the path of demonic cultivation.
That traitor is still a mortal and hasn't been discovered by the demons yet, which is perfect for the Nine Heavens to strike first and prevent him from increasing the demons' fighting power in the future.
However, according to Zhu Ji, his relationship with the mountain god Shu Yun was not shallow, and they might even be celestial couples.
This created an invisible pressure on the gods and immortals of the Nine Heavens.
"I've heard that the new Demon Lord is decisive in his methods, and the Demon Realm's power is much stronger than before."
“That’s right, our spies in the Demon Realm have already reported this news.”
"I heard that he obtained a technique that can suppress the negative traits of demonic cultivators. It was because of that technique that he subdued so many powerful demons."
"What should we do..."
It's true that Penglai remains neutral, but if Shu Yun wants to stay with that rebellious man forever, then that mortal man will have no choice but to become a demonic cultivator.
At that time, in order to explore the cultivation methods of demonic cultivators, Shu Yun will inevitably have to make more contact with people from the demonic realm because of that rebellious person.
Demonic cultivators absorb demonic energy during their practice, but this easily leads to the development of inner demons.
When the time comes, the Demon Lord will take the opportunity to offer the cultivation technique to Shu Yun. No matter how neutral Penglai is, Shu Yun will remember this matter and provide some protection to the Demon Realm.
Upon hearing Immortal Zhu Ji's words, all the immortals gathered in the main hall of the Nine Heavens thought of this relationship and couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
Even though Si Ming is more inclined to support the Goddess Shu Yun, he will not interfere in the conflict between the Nine Heavens and the Demon Realm.
However, he had to admit that if the Demon Lord's method of suppressing inner demons was true, given Shu Yun's personality, even if she didn't directly intervene, she would definitely repay the Demon Realm.
Si Ming stepped out from behind the crowd and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying, "We cannot attack that mortal."
The Jade Emperor rubbed his forehead. "I know what you mean."
Who would be foolish enough to attack the Daoist partner of the High God Shu Yun? That would be tantamount to openly making an enemy of Penglai.
Zhu Ji chimed in at the opportune moment: "But we can't just sit here and wait to die. If the Nine Heavens and the Demon Realm are locked in a stalemate, the final result will be that we can only watch helplessly as that rebellious soul becomes a demonic cultivator."
Recently, all the powerful demons in the Demon Realm have been recruited by the new Demon Lord. The Demon Realm has a large population, but it is not united. Now that powerful demons have gathered together, it makes him uneasy.
The Jade Emperor looked at Zhu Ji and asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Zhu Ji avoided the crowd, walked up the steps to the Jade Emperor's throne, and whispered in his ear.
Even with their eyes closed, Si Ming and Bei Xing Su knew that his method would definitely not be harmonious or friendly to that mortal. He might even be advising the Jade Emperor to take advantage of Shu Yun Shang Shen's inattention to quietly kill that mortal and then frame the Demon Realm for it.
