Wen Di couldn't help but retort from the side, "Three venerable elders, ask yourselves, if it weren't for His Majesty, how could the Demon Clan have achieved the stability it has today?"
"His Majesty has sacrificed a great deal for the Demon Clan, which you have turned a blind eye to. Now you are criticizing His Majesty like this. What is your stance?"
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak to us like that?" The Second Elder's tone was sharp. "Those who don't know their place should be severely punished."
As the two elders spoke, a surge of power shot towards Wen Di.
Jun Yu swung his hand backhand, blocking the attack, and at the same time, his own attack was as powerful as ever, heading straight for the two elders.
The two elders were startled and quickly raised their hands to defend themselves.
But he alone was no match for Jun Yu's attack.
The two elders retreated several steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of their mouths.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder bowed to Jun Yu and said, "I hope Your Excellency will show mercy."
Jun Yu snorted coldly. He didn't really want to kill them, but just wanted to teach them a lesson. He withdrew the power in his hand.
"It's none of your business to discipline the people under my command. Instead, you should learn a thing or two about respect and hierarchy."
"I have already taken the liberty of dealing with the lackeys sent by the Venerable Elder. I hope that next time the Venerable Elder can control his hands and stop meddling in things that are not his business."
“You have crossed my line and crossed my bottom line. I don’t know what I will do. Perhaps the next time you three elders will be reduced to ashes.” A hint of madness appeared in Jun Yu’s eyes.
"I have my own plans regarding the affairs of the gods. Now that I'm back, the three elders should just stay in their own territories and enjoy their retirement. Too much interference could lead to unforeseen consequences," Jun Yu threatened openly.
"There's nothing else, the three elders may leave now." Jun Yu saw the guests off directly.
Seeing Junyu in this state, the three elders had no choice but to leave.
Outside the palace.
The two elders turned around and looked at each other angrily, saying, "He is too arrogant. We are the elders of the Demon Clan, and his seniors. Everyone in the clan treats us with utmost respect."
“We even served the Demon Ancestor. When we were at the height of our power in the Demon Realm, he was just a greenhorn. Even if he is the Demon Lord now, he shouldn’t treat us like this and not give us any face at all.”
The Venerable Elder said in a deep voice, "He is now the high and mighty Demon Lord, his status is indeed different now."
The three elders pondered, "We found out before that he left the Demon Realm because of a woman, so he must have been tempted by worldly desires."
"That woman must be very important to him. If we capture her, could we use her to threaten and control him?"
"Don't act rashly," the Grand Elder advised. "His personality is too unpredictable. Provoking him now would not be good for us."
"Besides, now is not the time to break ties with him. The internal strife is still a big problem for the gods. He is powerful and we need his help to suppress it."
"As for that woman, I heard she lives on the cultivation continent, which is just a low-level continent to us."
"A number of demons defected from the Demon Realm recently, and I heard that they fled to the Cultivation Continent, which is in great chaos right now."
"We don't even need to lift a finger, she won't get away with it. Choosing to side with the Demon Lord makes her our enemy."
"The Venerable Elder is indeed wise."
"......"
Inside the palace, Wen Di watched the departing figures of the three elders, feeling somewhat indignant.
He was a trusted confidant of the Venerable One, and naturally he was wholeheartedly devoted to the Venerable One. The three of them were so arrogant that they simply did not take the Venerable One seriously, and even forgot that the Venerable One was the Venerable One of the Demon Clan.
"The three elders control the affairs of the demon race. They are disrespectful to their elders and defy their superiors. They always take advantage of their age and seniority to try to give the Venerable One some pointers."
"With Your Excellency's strength, you could easily crush them and eliminate them once and for all, so why do you continue to tolerate them?"
“They hold a high position in the demon realm. Killing them will cause turmoil in the demon world,” Jun Yu said calmly.
Of course, the biggest reason he didn't touch them was because of Ayan.
They were all once Ayan's people, loyal to Ayan. They couldn't stand that he had become the Demon Lord and ruled the Demon Clan, and they were standing up for Ayan.
But so many years have passed, and now they are rebelling against him. I don't know if they are acting out of loyalty or out of selfishness.
But in either case, he didn't want to touch them.
They used to be under Ayan's command. Even if they were to be dealt with, it should be left to Ayan personally.
"It was my oversight," Wen Di said, bowing his head.
"From this day forward, the Demon Clan shall be on high alert and fully prepared to counter the attack from the God Clan. Wen Di, keep a close eye on the Elder's men. Report to us immediately if they or their subordinates make any unusual moves," Jun Yu said.
He wasn't worried about them colluding with the gods, but he was concerned that they would send people to disturb Ayan's peace.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Wen Di replied.
The cultivation continent, the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no news from the back mountain where Ruan Xiyan is in seclusion.
A loud "bang" suddenly rang out, and Yu Qiqi, who had just fallen asleep half-reclined in the chair, was immediately awakened and almost fell off the chair.
Lin Muze, who had just arrived, caught her in time. "Qiqi, are you hurt?"
Yu Qiqi shook her head, "Another group has come to besiege the Illusionary Concealment Sect."
"No, no, it was one of Wanwan's poison-making disciples who lost control of the force while making the poison and it exploded. Wanwan is cleaning up with people right now."
Yu Qiqi rubbed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Looking at Yu Qiqi's dark circles, Lin Muze said with heartache, "You haven't rested for days. Go get some sleep. We're still here."
“Lu Ji and his disciples inspect all parts of the Illusionary Hidden Sect every day to ensure there are no mistakes and to prevent them from taking advantage of any loopholes. Wanwan is also researching a new, more potent poison.”
"No, before Sister Yan went into seclusion, I promised her that I would protect the Illusionary Hidden Sect for her. I keep my word."
“The Illusionary Hidden Sect is currently facing a crisis, and there are still many things to do. We cannot relax.” Yu Qiqi’s eyes were firm.
Seeing her like this, Lin Muze sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't persuade her otherwise.
In the past two months, they have suddenly discovered that there are quite a few people loitering outside their sect, including independent cultivators and people from powerful factions.
At first, those people were just testing the waters, but then they intercepted and attacked the Illusionary Hidden Sect disciples coming down the mountain, full of hostility.
Later, they inquired and learned that there was a rumor circulating on the mainland that a clan of medicinal beasts, which had been extinct, had reappeared.
The only medicinal beast in the world today is in the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
