Chapter 103 After Cang Li left, Nuwa...
After Cang Li left, the smile on Nuwa's face gradually faded. Looking at Fuxi not far away, she said:
“Brother, Bao’er is right.”
Fuxi patted Nuwa's head: "I am your older brother, don't worry about me. Just be a good sage, no one can bully you. As long as you sit high in the sage's seat, you don't need to worry about anything else."
Nuwa's voice was a little downcast: "Yes, I understand."
Fuxi shook his head, cleared the chess pieces, and said, "Let's play another game."
After leaving the Nuwa Palace, Cang Li went to the Eastern Emperor Palace. Since she had made the decision, she should not be afraid of the consequences, no matter what they were. She could bear the consequences.
There were still no demon soldiers guarding the Eastern Emperor Palace. Donghuang Taiyi's strength did not require any demon soldiers. Apart from Donghuang Taiyi, only Er lived in the side hall of the entire Eastern Emperor Palace.
The demon race had just fought a battle with the witch race, and Donghuang Taiyi had only just changed out of his blood-stained armor. As he stepped out the door, he saw Cang Li stepping over the threshold. He paused for a moment before going to greet him.
"How did you end up here?"
He thought Cang Li wouldn't be coming to the Demon Court anytime soon.
Once Cang Li made his decision, he didn't hesitate and asked directly:
“I remember you said before that if I won the bet, you would give me the ten spirit arrows born from the Sun Star. Although I lost the bet, I am willing to exchange something else for it.”
Donghuang Taiyi stopped and stood on the steps, looking down at Cang Li:
"What will you give me in exchange? I'll take anything you want."
Cang Li frowned, and after a while said, "Anything is fine. As long as I have it and can give it to you, I'll trade it with you."
Donghuang Taiyi smiled slightly: "Donghuang Palace is lacking a female master."
Cang Li blurted out instinctively, "Then why don't you go find it yourself..."
Cang Li fell silent as he spoke, swallowing hard. "This, this, this probably won't work..."
Donghuang Taiyi: "...Didn't you say you could exchange anything?"
Cang Li scratched her head: "This just won't do. I'm a goddess now. Gods can't fall in love. What if I have to sacrifice all living beings to make them die? No way, I want to be a goddess without desires!"
Unfortunately, Donghuang Taiyi didn't understand this joke. Donghuang Taiyi calmly looked at Cang Li:
"I have nothing else I want besides this."
Cang Li thought for a moment and said to Donghuang Taiyi, "How about this, whatever you want, whenever you ask, I will give it to you if I have it. I just want ten spirit arrows, nine will do too!"
Donghuang Taiyi sighed: "Fine, you can have it if you want it, but what do you need the spirit arrow for?"
The spirit arrows of the Sun Star have existed since he and Di Jun were born. They are of no use to them because no bow can shoot them. If Cang Li wants them, he can give them to her. However, Donghuang Taiyi is very curious about what Cang Li wants these arrows for.
Cang Li didn't want to lie to Donghuang Taiyi, but he was afraid that if he told the truth, Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't give him the answer, so he could only remain silent after thinking it over.
Upon seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi asked, "Can't you tell me? Is it something else you can't tell me?"
Cang Li nodded: "Yes, if we say that, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
Donghuang Taiyi smiled wryly: "You really are frank. Doesn't this clearly tell me that taking what you want will be detrimental to the demon race?"
Cang Li looked away: "Then will you give it to me?"
Donghuang Taiyi stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get it. The Golden Crow can't lift the Spirit Arrow."
Donghuang Taiyi did not lie to Cang Li about this. The ten spirit arrows were on the Sun Star. He, Dijun, and Xihe could not lift them. Perhaps the ten spirit arrows were not something that the Golden Crow should have.
Cang Li followed Donghuang Taiyi to the Sun Star. The Sun Star was thousands of times hotter than Tanggu. As soon as Cang Li stepped in, he broke out in a sweat and subconsciously circulated his inner energy to steady himself.
Donghuang Taiyi walked forward on his own, saying as he went, "Keep up. Your cultivation hasn't reached the level of a saint yet. If you go too far away from me, you'll be burned dry by the Sun Star."
Cang Li hurriedly followed, grabbing Donghuang Taiyi's sleeve and staying close to him, which made him feel much better.
Donghuang Taiyi led Cangli to the Fusang tree, looked up at the ten spirit arrows floating on the tree, and said to Cangli, "They're right there. Go and get them yourself. If you can get them, take them with you."
Cang Li followed Donghuang Taiyi's gaze and indeed saw ten arrows shimmering with light. Cang Li glanced back at Donghuang Taiyi and, seeing Donghuang Taiyi's calm expression, released Donghuang Taiyi's sleeve, leaped onto a tree, and reached out to grab the spirit arrows.
The ten spirit arrows seemed to be trying to escape, but they stopped the moment they came into contact with Cang Li's spiritual energy. They even gathered together in one place, forming a small bundle, and were very cooperatively caught by Cang Li.
Cang Li was overjoyed. He grabbed the arrow, flew down from the tree, and said to Donghuang Taiyi with a bright look in his eyes, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi! Look! I got it!"
Donghuang Taiyi nodded: "Congratulations, it seems that you are destined to take these ten arrows."
Cang Li was delighted, but quickly suppressed his smile, put the arrow away, and said:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Donghuang Taiyi moved his hand and finally said to Cang Li, "Let's go. Staying on the Sun Star for too long is not good for you."
Cang Li nodded and followed Donghuang Taiyi away from the Sun Star. After leaving the Sun Star, a cool breeze blew by, and Cang Li felt a little guilty. He said behind Donghuang Taiyi:
“Fellow Daoist Taiyi, if I do anything in the future, you can hate me if you want. No matter what, I will still consider you a friend.”
Donghuang Taiyi didn't turn around, but only said to Cang Li:
“I’ve changed my mind. You said that no matter what I want in the future, you will give it to me as long as you have it. Remember, maybe one day I really will ask you for something.”
Cang Li nodded vigorously: "Don't worry! I won't break my promise."
Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand and said, "Let's go, don't come to the Demon Court again."
Cang Li waved to Donghuang Taiyi, then took the spirit arrow and returned to the human race.
When Donghuang Taiyi returned to the Donghuang Palace, he saw Dijun there.
"Brother? What brings you here?"
Di Jun smiled and said, "I need to talk to you. I heard you went out with the Great Chief of the Human Race just now? What were you doing there?"
Donghuang Taiyi: "I made a bet with her before and lost. The bet was those ten spirit arrows that we didn't need. I just took her to get the spirit arrows."
Di Jun frowned slightly: "Have you asked your sister-in-law about this?"
Di Jun didn't take the ten spirit arrows to heart. However, Xi He had once told him very seriously that the ten spirit arrows on the Sun Star must never leave the Sun Star.
Donghuang Taiyi asked, somewhat puzzled, "No, what does this have to do with my sister-in-law?"
Di Jun shook his head: "I don't know, but you should still go to Tanggu and tell her about this. Your sister-in-law just sent back a message saying that she will be staying in Tanggu for a while and won't be coming back. I naturally won't take the arrow back since you sent it out, but I still have to tell your sister-in-law."
Donghuang Taiyi nodded readily: "Okay, I understand. I'll go tell my sister-in-law in a bit."
Di Jun then said, "There's one more thing I need to tell you..."
Di Jun lowered his voice and told Kunpeng about his suggestion. He had thought about it for a long time and still planned to come and discuss it with Donghuang Taiyi. Of all the people in the Demon Court, the one Di Jun trusted the most was his own twin brother.
Donghuang Taiyi's expression changed: "No! Brother, are you crazy?! How old are Lu Ya and the others? Do you know that they will surely die once they leave Tang Valley?!"
Di Jun pinched the bridge of his nose: "I didn't agree, did I? Taiyi, you know that I've been researching the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array recently, but I've encountered a bottleneck. The Wu Clan's Du Tian Shen Sha Grand Array has already been partially completed. I'm really anxious, afraid that they might actually invite the Father God Pangu."
Donghuang Taiyi gave Dijun a serious warning:
“Even so, we cannot agree to this method. Why were the three races destroyed in the past? Because they caused the earth to tremble and all living beings to perish. Brother, we cannot bear the consequences of ten suns appearing at the same time.”
Di Jun's shoulders slumped slightly: "Alright, I understand. It seems I was wrong to think that way. Never mind."
Donghuang Taiyi seemed to realize something and looked at Dijun suspiciously:
"Brother, why did the Demon Master make this suggestion? The Witch Clan's weapons are powerful; they won't kill many of them in the sun, unless..."
"Your target is the human race!? Why? The human race has not made peace with us."
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Dijun in disbelief, not understanding Dijun's actions.
Di Jun remained silent for a while before saying, "I didn't want to tell you this and put you in a difficult position. I know you and Cang Li are close. Cang Li has a sword that is extremely harmful to the Wu Clan. Ordinary Wu Clan members will die if they are touched by that sword. I'm afraid that if I want that sword, I might be able to improve the Star Array."
"But Cang Li won't give it to us. That sword contains many terrifying stories of humans. The Demon Master guesses that the sword was forged by tens of thousands of people. We can make a replica."
When Di Jun saw that Donghuang Taiyi had guessed it, he simply told him everything. There was nothing to hide between brothers.
Donghuang Taiyi immediately refuted Dijun's guess:
"Impossible, Cang Li would not use her people to refine magical artifacts."
Di Jun: "I don't know about that, but that sword is indeed full of human spirits. You can see for yourself next time if you don't believe me."
Donghuang Taiyi looked somewhat doubtful. Dijun shook his head, patted Donghuang Taiyi on the shoulder, and said:
"I was just saying, if you don't agree, that's fine too. I'm leaving now, you get some rest."
After Donghuang Taiyi came to his senses and saw Dijun off, he returned and said to the corner:
"come out."
Er emerged from the corner, her face full of confusion, and finally asked:
"Master, is what His Majesty said true?"
Donghuang Taiyi nodded: "It's most likely true, otherwise my brother wouldn't have come up with this idea."
Er shook his head: "Impossible. My sister values her people so much. Besides, the human race has only had a population of over 100,000 for less than ten years. My sister already had that sword when the human race was just born. It couldn't have been made by a human."
Donghuang Taiyi: "You mean your older sister had that sword a long time ago?"
Er nodded; he had seen Cang Li compare the Xuanyuan Sword and the Hongmeng Holy Sword.
Donghuang Taiyi pondered for a moment, then gave a wry smile. He hadn't expected that he would have to find Cangli to fulfill his promise so soon; he wanted that sword.
If he gets this sword, it can prevent a catastrophe for the human race; it's good for everyone.
