Chapter 86. Cang Li was still stunned for a moment...
Cang Li was stunned for a moment, then put down the greasy roasted rabbit leg in his hand. "Why is the Taoist priest here?"
Dijiang and Houtu had already gone out, and Cangli hurriedly followed. She intuitively felt that if it really was Taiqing, then he must have come to find her.
Taiqing did come because of Cangli. Before Cangli set off to cultivate, he said he would come to the Wu Clan. During the month he was on the road, he would enter the Spirit Mansion from time to time to say a lot of things. Until a few days ago, Cangli entered the Spirit Mansion to cultivate for the last time, and then there was no news. Taiqing knew from the journey that Cangli had arrived at the Wu Clan.
They arrived at the Witch Clan but then disappeared without a trace; they must have encountered some trouble that prevented them from cultivating.
Taiqing waited for several days, but finally couldn't sit still any longer. After becoming a saint, he left Kunlun Mountain for the first time and arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the blink of an eye. Following the aura, he found the Houtu tribe.
When Houtu and Dijiang came out, they saw the white-haired youth standing outside wearing a dark green robe with gold thread patterns. His expression was indifferent, as if he had just happened to pass by.
The two exchanged a glance, then cautiously stepped forward, clasped their hands in greeting, and said:
"I wonder why the sage has come?"
Who doesn't know the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain? They knew from the beginning of the primordial world that the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. Logically speaking, their Wu tribe inherited the essence and blood of Pangu, but the mainstream of the primordial world cultivated the primordial spirit, and the Three Pure Ones were more orthodox than them. If the Three Pure Ones claimed that they were the masters of the primordial world...
The Wu tribe had nothing to say.
Moreover, the Three Pure Ones are incredibly powerful. They became famous in the prehistoric world during the Great Calamity of the Three Races in their early years. The one in front of us is the most ferocious, with an indifferent expression and a swift and decisive manner. Later, he began to cultivate his character and rarely left Kunlun, which led the people of the prehistoric world to believe that the eldest of the Three Pure Ones was the easiest to talk to.
If it were a sage from Shangqing who came, Dijiang and Houtu would greet him with smiles.
Now it's Taiqing's turn. Dijiang and Houtu are completely baffled and can only deal with it cautiously.
Tai Qing glanced at the two of them indifferently and asked:
Where is Cangli?
Houtu paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "What does the Sage want with Cang Li?" Cang Li is now an important partner of hers, and if the Sage is really here to cause trouble, she really can't stand idly by.
Cang Li came out from behind: "Daoist Master!? It really is you!" Before seeing Taiqing, she thought it was some audacious imposter.
Taiqing looked at Cang Li for a while, and only nodded after confirming that Cang Li was alright: "It's me."
The doubt in Houtu and Dijiang's eyes was quite obvious. Houtu subconsciously asked:
"Cang Li, are you acquainted with the Sage Taiqing?"
Cang Li nodded: "That's right, the saint lived among humans for a period of time before becoming a saint."
After saying that, Cang Li remembered something and hurriedly said to Hou Tu, "Don't be nervous, the Taoist priest probably has something to ask me, it's not directed at you."
She vaguely remembered that the situation in the prehistoric world was not good. Kunlun Mountain had always been indifferent to worldly affairs. What if Taiqing was misunderstood after suddenly arriving at the Wu tribe?
Houtu breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least it wasn't targeting the Wu tribe. Houtu smiled.
"Would the sage like to come in and sit down?"
Dijiang had many more ideas. If they could win over Kunlun Mountain, then their Wu tribe would have no weaknesses and would no longer need to fear the saints of the demon race.
Taiqing took two steps forward and beckoned to Cangli: "Come here."
He was originally going to walk over, but Cang Li was standing behind Hou Tu at the moment, so Tai Qing took a couple of steps and simply let Cang Li come over.
Houtu immediately turned to look at Cangli, belatedly wondering if the sage disliked her for blocking Cangli's way.
Cang Li refused: "No, Daoist. If you need to find me, just have Xuan Du send a message. I have important business to attend to right now. I'll come find you when I'm done. Anyway, it's not far from Kunlun Mountain."
Houtu: !!!
Fellow Daoist Cang Li, aren't you speaking too casually?!
But Taiqing hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying:
"good."
Cang Li waved with a grin, and seeing Tai Qing about to leave, quickly asked:
"Taoist priest, how did you know I was here?"
Taiqing paused, then answered without hesitation:
“I sent Xuandu to the human race to find you, and Xuandu came back and said that you had come to the witch race.”
Gento, who was giving a lesson to four people: ? ? ?
Cang Li suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. Daoist, take care. I'll come find you after I finish my business tomorrow."
Taiqing, with his back to Cangli, breathed a slight sigh of relief and disappeared into Buzhou Mountain after taking two steps.
Houtu finally relaxed completely, and grabbed Cang Li's hand, asking:
"Cang Li! You have such a good relationship with the Sage!?"
Cang Li scratched his head: "No, Daoist Master... Sage Taiqing has a very good temper, he just doesn't like to talk much. Sage Yuqing has a much worse temper!"
After saying that, Cang Li suddenly patted his mouth and changed his words: "The Jade Purity Saint is actually quite good." He gave her a magic treasure, so it wouldn't be right to speak ill of him behind his back.
Houtu took a deep breath, grasped Cangli's hand, and said, "Fellow Daoist Cangli, please teach our Wu Clan how to obtain more food!"
The silent Dijiang looked at Cang Li with a different gaze. He had forgotten that the three from Kunlun Mountain had also become saints by relying on the human race. Fortunately, they had not yet attacked the human race, otherwise who knew that the three would not stand up for the human race.
Yes, Dijiang originally planned that after Cangli left the Witch Clan, he would lead his men to capture all the humans. He wanted food and to enslave them. But no matter how powerful the human chieftain was, how could he possibly defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches? Even if just a few of the Ancestral Witches joined forces, Cangli might not be able to defeat them!
Unexpectedly, Taiqing arrived at this time. Dijiang suspected that the Sage was indeed omniscient. He had barely entertained this thought when Taiqing rushed over to support Cangli. This forced Dijiang to abandon his original idea, and he smiled at Cangli, saying:
"Since Fellow Daoist Cangli and my sister Houtu have reached an agreement, I, as the elder brother, will naturally give my full support. Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will also keep in mind what my sister promised you. From now on, the Wu Clan and the Human Clan will not have any conflicts, and the two clans will be on good terms!"
Cang Li was delighted. Ultimately, the Wu Clan still had the most say in Di Jiang's words. With Di Jiang's words, the human race could focus on development and reproduction for the next ten years without any powerful enemies threatening them!
A furtive member of the Wu clan left from the corner, climbed to the top of Buzhou Mountain, dropped his disguise, and headed straight for the Demon Court.
"Demon Master! Something terrible has happened! The human leader went to the witch clan and discussed with the Ancestral Witch Houtu about coexistence between the two races, farming, and infrastructure—things we can't understand. But the Ancestral Witch Dijiang said that the two races will be on good terms for generations to come! The human and witch clans have colluded!"
Kunpeng slammed his fist on the table and said to the little demon undercover agent:
"Go back and continue your investigation, but be careful not to let the witch clan discover you!"
The little demon scurried away from the demon court, disguised herself again, and quietly returned to the witch clan.
Kunpeng immediately went to find Dijun. He had always believed that the purple aura was among the human race. The last place Hongyun stayed before his death was among the human race. Kunpeng went to the Lingxiao Palace to request an audience with Dijun.
Donghuang Taiyi was also there. The two brothers were having a headache over the education of the little golden crow. Xihe was away these past few days, having gone out with her sister Changxi, so the two brothers had to take turns going to Tanggu to look after the little golden crow.
The little golden crow is currently in its mischievous phase, unafraid of its father and uncle, constantly clamoring to come out and play, and not very willing to properly guard the sun star.
Upon hearing from the attendant that Kunpeng requested an audience, the two stopped talking and let Kunpeng in.
Di Jun asked with a smile, "Oh, it's the Demon Master. What brings you here at this hour?"
The recent friction with the Wu tribe has temporarily subsided, allowing Di Jun a few rare days of leisure.
Donghuang Taiyi didn't like Kunpeng very much. He preferred to compete with people head-on and disliked such underhanded tactics.
Kunpeng stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor."
Di Jun waved his hand casually: "Why are you being so polite among family? Demon Master, please sit down and let's talk."
Kunpeng sat down as instructed, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, there is something very important I must tell you today, something that concerns the very survival of the demon race!"
Di Jun became serious and sat up straight: "Please speak, Demon Master."
Kunpeng said, "Just now, the little demon I sent to inquire about the Wu Clan returned with news that is detrimental to the demon race. The Wu Clan is colluding with the human race. I heard that the human race leader personally went to the Wu Clan and reached some kind of consensus with the Ancestral Witch Houtu. The two talked happily, and the Taiqing Saint from Kunlun Mountain also went there."
"Your Majesty, we must be wary of this. The human race was clearly created by the sage Nuwa and should have been with our demon race. Unexpectedly, the human race is such an ungrateful bunch, colluding with the witch race. Your Majesty, although the human race is not worth mentioning, it is clear that they do not respect our demon race. If this continues, won't all the races of the prehistoric world truly believe that the witch race is the master of the prehistoric world?!"
Kunpeng dared not speak too clearly behind Cangli's back, so he only focused on the issue of Cangli's height and exaggerated it.
Di Jun's expression indeed turned ugly. He had seen Cang Li before. This person's talent for cultivation was unparalleled. Looking at the prehistoric world, which creature could become a quasi-saint in just a few years? They all had to go through thousands of years of tempering, seclusion, and fighting to reach such a level of cultivation.
Surprisingly, Cang Li's cultivation was as simple as breathing.
If it weren't for the fact that Cang Li clearly had no cultivation when Di Jun first met him, he wouldn't have believed that Cang Li was actually a genius who had reached the Quasi-Saint level after only a few years of cultivation.
Now that Kunpeng has come to say that Cangli went to the Wu tribe and had a pleasant conversation with them, Dijun is on high alert. Is the human race preparing to break ties with the demon race and completely disregarding Nuwa's feelings?
Di Jun's face was very ugly, and he stared outside without saying a word.
Before Kunpeng could say anything more, Donghuang Taiyi glanced at him casually, and Kunpeng shut up. He couldn't possibly defeat Donghuang Taiyi.
“Brother, there may be some misunderstanding in this matter. It is true that the Demon Master is wholeheartedly for the Demon Clan, but we do not yet know the inside story. Fellow Daoist Cang Li is not the kind of person who loves to fight. I am afraid that her trip to the Witch Clan this time has a reason. Brother has also met Fellow Daoist Cang Li. Do you think she is a combative person?”
Di Jun calmed down after hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words. Upon careful consideration, he realized that Cang Li was always laughing foolishly, didn't care much about cultivation, and loved to act coquettishly with the Sage Nuwa. Indeed, he had never heard of Cang Li's fearsome reputation in the prehistoric world; in fact, he could be considered virtually unknown.
However, we cannot ignore the fact that this is a facade that Cang Li is putting on.
Di Jun looked at Donghuang Taiyi and said:
“Taiyi, you have a good relationship with Cangli. I want to know what she is doing in the Wu Clan. Don’t go to Tanggu these next two days. Go to the Human Clan for me.”
"Humanity was created by a sage, and I will never allow them to side with the witches!"
Donghuang Taiyi frowned almost imperceptibly. He was unwilling to test Cang Li. He and Cang Li had only met a few times in the East Sea, and now he was being asked to test him… Donghuang Taiyi sighed inwardly and nodded to Dijun:
"Alright, I'll go ask the humans. Brother, don't be scheming."
Di Jun nodded in satisfaction, then said to Kunpeng:
"The news brought by the Demon Master today is indeed very important. The Demon Master is devoted to the demon race, which is commendable. Demon Master, please tell me what you want."
Kunpeng laughed: "Your Majesty flatters me. As a fellow demon, why would I care about material possessions?"
He only needs to anger the human race to obtain what he desires, and then he will naturally receive it.
