Heaven.
Lingxiao Palace.
After hearing the news of the death of Duke Dongji, Hao Tianqian smashed the armrests of the Heavenly Emperor's throne into powder. Heavenly Court finally got better. Now, one of the Six Emperors, Dongji Qinghua Emperor, was killed by the demon clan. The majesty of Heavenly Court is directly under control. A sudden fall.
Fortunately, Xuanye killed the demon saint Gui Che and regained some face for Heaven.
"Is Emperor Ziwei back?" Haotian asked.
"Your Majesty, not yet." Taibai Jinxing replied.
Haotian suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Taibai Jinxing: "When Emperor Ziwei comes back, immediately notify him to come to Lingxiao Palace to discuss matters."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Taibai Jinxing could tell that Haotian was angry, so he was sensible and didn't say anything.
Tianmen Mountain.
At this moment, the top leaders of the demon clan gathered together.
Bai Ze, Shang Yang, Chang Xi, as well as Lu Ya and Jiu Ying who had just returned, and Kun Peng with an unruly look on their face, these six people were the only remaining quasi-sage experts from the Monster Clan.
"Should His Highness the Crown Prince explain to the veteran why he attacked the Earth Emperor's daughter and why he teamed up with Kunpeng to ambush Duke Dong, but did not discuss it with the veteran?"
"Could it be that I don't regard the old minister as a member of the demon clan, or feel that I can already bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the demon clan."
Bai Ze's face was as dark as water, and he didn't care about the presence of Kunpeng, an outsider, and just opened his mouth to question Lu Ya.
He didn't blame Lu Ya for attacking the Earth Emperor's daughter, nor did he blame Lu Ya for contacting Kunpeng to ambush Duke Dong. He was just angry that such a big matter had not been discussed with him, Chang Xi and others in advance.
Lu Ya's ability to suppress his hatred and seek Kunpeng's help was a sign of maturity in his opinion.
Using the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, it was indeed a good move to seize the opportunity to trap and kill the Eastern Prince.
But if they could discuss it with themselves in advance and make adequate preparations on their side, maybe the ghost car would not have fallen, and the demon clan would not lose this general.
"Prime Minister, I'm sorry, it was my fault."
Lu Ya did not argue, nor did he say that he was worried about leaking secrets. If he was wrong, he was wrong. He would not escape from this. Emperor Jun once told him in the past that a qualified king must learn to recognize his own mistakes.
He must bear absolute responsibility for Gui Che's death.
Bai Ze sighed, and he was very pleased to see Lu Ya take the initiative to admit his mistakes.
But the death of Gui Che is an ironclad fact, and the demon clan's strength has been greatly damaged.
Kunpeng was not interested in enjoying the performance between their monarchs and ministers, and said to Lu Ya: "Your Highness, now that the siege of the demon clan has been resolved, it's time to fulfill the promise and return my soul to me on the demon summoning flag!"
"I will never break my promise, as long as the demon master remembers his promise."
Lu Ya took out the demon summoning flag and returned Kunpeng's ray of soul to the other party.
Kunpeng was overjoyed. He was no longer restrained by the demon summoning flag, and now that he had the remaining half of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, who could stop him from attaining the status of a saint of heaven?
As for the merits of sanctification, it is much easier to deal with.
Styx could establish the Asura Clan and the Asura Sect, but couldn't Kunpeng establish the Kunpeng Clan and the Kunpeng Sect?
If it didn't work out, he would imitate the two sages of the West and borrow money from Heaven.
Just as Bai Ze was about to stop him, Kunpeng had already put away the ray of soul.
Lu Ya winked at Bai Ze, indicating that he didn't need to worry too much, he only had to think about it.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go back and mobilize the elites of Beiming to come to Tianmen Mountain to join the demon army. I will go all out to help His Majesty kill the Killer Emperor and revive the demon clan."
Kunpeng took back the soul on the demon summoning flag, said happily, and then fluttered his wings and left Tianmen Mountain.
"Your Highness, when did you get the demon summoning flag back?"
"Kunpeng still has some worries with the demon summoning flag in hand, but now that Kunpeng's soul has been returned to him, we will no longer be able to check and balance this old and cunning guy Kunpeng."
"Your Highness, you are confused!"
As soon as Kunpeng left, Bai Ze couldn't wait to say to Lu Ya.
Shang Yang and Chang Xi did not speak, but the meaning expressed in their eyes was exactly the same as Bai Ze's.
Lu Ya said calmly: "I exchanged the demon summoning flag at the expense of Nuwa Empress and the karma between the demon clan and Hetu Luoshu. Since I have decided to attack the human race, the fate of my demon clan cannot be in the hands of others. ."
"As for Kunpeng, I have other ways to check and balance him. If he has a different intention, I can kill him in the blink of an eye."
"The most important thing right now is to gather the elites of our demon race. When the Human Emperor is in charge of the war, we can defeat the human race in one fell swoop and regain our demon race's position as the protagonist of the world that was stolen by him."
Hearing that Lu Ya actually used the relationship between Nuwa and the demon clan as a bargain, Bai Ze felt that the sky was about to fall.
The only remaining cause and effect with Nuwa was the reason why the Witch Clan was afraid and did not kill the Demon Clan completely.
Without the protection of the saint, the demon clan would face catastrophe.
"Your Highness is confused! The demon summoning flag is in the hands of Saint Nuwa. Other saints will always consider whether killing the monsters will offend the Nuwa Empress. But if this cause and effect is cut off, we monsters will be lambs on the chopping board, and we will be left alone. The other saints are slaughtering you!"
Bai Ze was heartbroken, but he didn't expect Lu Ya to break the relationship between the Yao clan and Nuwa Empress.
As for Lu Ya's plan to attack the Human Emperor, he ignored it for the time being.
Lu Ya waved his hand and said: "I have my own thoughts on what the Prime Minister said, but my purpose is to regain the position of the protagonist of the world from the human race. Nuwa is the mother of the human race and one of the four emperors of the demon clan in the past. ."
"Rather than leaving Empress Nuwa in a dilemma, it is better to cut it off immediately and take the initiative to end this cause and effect."
"As for the protection of the saints, Taoist ancestors once said that the West is booming. Now the land lines of the West have been repaired. The luck of the Western religion is booming. The two saints of the West value profits. As long as we pay a sufficient price, it will not be difficult to obtain the protection of the two saints of the west."
"And two saints are always more intimidating than one saint. I have made up my mind, and the Prime Minister does not need to persuade me."
Bai Ze wanted to say something more, but Lu Ya said that the prime minister didn't need to persuade him more and stopped him in his mouth.
There is indeed some truth in what His Highness the Prince said. Being caught between the demon clan and the human clan will indeed put Empress Nuwa in a dilemma. Two saints are indeed more intimidating than one saint.
But the two sages of the West are both guys who eat people without spitting out their bones. Cooperating with them is nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger.
If you are not careful, you will be swallowed completely.
But now it's a foregone conclusion, and we can only go to the dark side with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Lu Ya once again talked about his plan to take advantage of the human-king war to defeat the human race in one fell swoop and regain his position as the protagonist of the demon race, but Bai Ze had no intention of listening anymore.
He and Lu Ya confessed their crimes, and then went to retreat to heal their wounds.
He fought with Xuan Ye and Kong Xuan successively, and he was seriously injured and needed to be in seclusion for recuperation.
Shang Yang and Jiu Ying also left one after another, and in a blink of an eye, only Lu Ya and Chang Xi were left in the hall.
"Aunt Xi, can you lend me the Nailhead Seven Arrows book?"
Lu Ya said, now in such a vast world, Chang Xi is the only relative he has left. It must be said that the world is constantly changing, and the originally prosperous Demon Court has fallen into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Chang Xi would not refuse, so he took out the Seven Arrows Book and handed it to Lu Ya.
"Using this item will deplete the user's luck. You must use it with caution. Before the Lich War in the past, my sister used it to deal with Xuanyuan, but it was counterattacked by the red lotus karma fire."
"I was wondering if my sister died in the Lich War later because she lacked that luck."
"The theory of luck is as mysterious as it is mysterious, so don't be careless."
This was the first time Lu Ya heard about this matter. Xi He suffered backlash in the past, and because he didn't want others to worry, no one except Di Jun and Chang Xi knew about it.
He originally wanted to use it to deal with Xuan Chen, but now it seems that it won't work.
But it was possible to deal with Kunpeng. The reason why Lu Ya returned Kunpeng's soul to the opponent so simply was because he had obtained a trace of Kunpeng's energy from the demon summoning flag.
With Kunpeng's character, he was bound to integrate half of the Hongmeng Purple Qi he gave him into his soul.
When the time comes, using the half of the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand as a guide, plus a ray of opportunity from Kunpeng, and the Seven Arrows Book, even if Kunpeng has an innate treasure in his hand, he will not be able to escape from his grasp.
But the most urgent task now is to establish contact with the Second Saint of the West.
Facing Chang Xi's concern, Lu Ya nodded, indicating that he understood, and then left Tianmen Mountain and flew towards Mount Sumeru in the west of the ancient world.
Kunlun Mountains.
Stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, since the collapse of Mount Buzhou, this place has been the undisputed number one sacred mountain in the prehistoric times.
To the east is the residence of Yuanshi Tianzun, and to the west is the dojo of the Queen Mother of the West, the head of the female immortals.
However, Queen Mother Xi has always kept a low profile and has never been involved in worldly affairs, so no one noticed her. They only vaguely remembered that she was the first female immortal canonized by Taozu himself.
A rainbow light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Queen Mother's Palace. It was the missing Chunyang Sword.
Such movement naturally alarmed the Queen Mother of the West.
"Junior sister, save, save me!"
The remnant soul of the East Prince emerged from the Pure Yang Sword and called out to the Queen Mother of the West for help.
He could not trust Haotian Yaochi, so he did not choose to return to Heaven, but chose to come to West Kunlun.
He and the Queen Mother of the West were the first innate pure yang energy and the first innate pure yin energy. They had known each other since they were transformed. When they were named the first of male and female immortals respectively by Tao Ancestor, he was still happy to think that The two of them can do great things together.
But the Queen Mother of the West simply rejected her invitation and chose to return to West Kunlun to practice hard.
This puzzled him, but they did not break contact with each other.
Now that I think about it, maybe the Queen Mother of the West is right. If you don't have the strength to overpower everything, don't think about fighting for hegemony. The Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin were like this, and so were he and Di Jun. They didn't end up well.
"Senior brother is really in a mess. The current situation is worse than going directly to the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
The Queen Mother of the West had a smile on her face, but the Prince of the East felt something bad.
"Junior sister, if I am reincarnated and rebuild my body, all my cultivation will turn into running water. Please lend me some heavenly and earthly treasures to help me rebuild my body, and I will return it to you when I make a comeback."
The East Prince spoke sincerely, but the Queen Mother of the West had no intention of helping him reshape his body.
Instead, he offered a top-quality innate spiritual treasure purifying water bowl to cover Dong Wanggong. A ray of fairy light directly hit Dong Wanggong's broken soul, and Dong Wanggong fell into deep thought.
Lines of pure yang originate from the depths of Dong Wang Yuan Shen.
Queen Mother Xi looked at the pure Yang energy and said to herself: "Senior brother, you died twice and you haven't taught me a lesson?"
"The first time you gave your back to Lingweiyang and the others, but when they saw that the demon clan was so powerful, they abandoned you."
"Now that you have become the Qinghua Emperor of the East, you thought that Haotian Yaochi would not sit idly by if there was danger, but you did not expect that Kunpeng, Lu, and Jiuying would besiege you alone. Haotian Yaochi would not have time to take action."
"The most reliable thing in this world is always your own strength. It's really a big joke to believe in others."
"I hope senior brother can understand this truth in the next life."
"I accept your pure Yang origin."
Originally, Prince Dong's soul was severely damaged, but now Queen Mother West has taken away most of its origin, and it looks like a candle in the wind that will be extinguished at any time.
However, Queen Mother Xi thought that the two of them would transform at the same time, so she did not kill them all.
After absorbing the source, he used great magic power to send this residual soul to reincarnation in the Netherworld.
Queen Mother Xi's aura was also clearly revealed at this moment. She was already in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and was only one step away from the peak of Quasi-Saint.
"I hope the pure Yang source can help me break through to the pinnacle of quasi-sage!"
A cold wind passed by on Kunlun Mountain, blowing the long hair of the Queen Mother of the West, making her look extremely independent.
No matter how many geniuses there are in the world, if you don't become a saint, you will eventually become an ant.
It’s not that the Queen Mother of the West doesn’t have desires, she just hides them deeper.
