Chapter 416 - The Light of Righteousness! (1/2)
“What the Heavenly Courts are afraid of is that the demons still have extraordinary strength. Your Highness, you must not join forces with the Western Sect’s spiritual mountain.”
In the s.p.a.cious hall, on the throne on the platform, Daoist Lu Ya, who had transformed into an old Daoist priest, supported his forehead with one hand. The warning that Bai Ze had given him that day echoed in his heart, and he felt inexplicably irritated.
At the side of the platform, more than ten old demons were sitting quietly. At that moment, most of them were shocked and excited because they heard the old Daoist priest in tattered clothes speaking calmly below the platform…
“…Your Highness, you only need to send a small number of troops to suppress the Magi of the North Continent. You can make the Heavenly Courts lose their composure.”
“Now that the Heavenly Courts wanted to take over the Netherworld, they would definitely not turn a blind eye to the Magi of the North Continent. At that time, as long as the army rushed over from behind and surrounded the battle, they would be able to hurt the Heavenly Courts.”
“I also know that His Highness the Crown Prince does not want to start a full-scale war with the Heavenly Courts. He is just waiting for such an opportunity to let the Heavenly Courts know of the difficulties and negotiate with His Highness the Crown Prince. I did not come today to let His Highness the Crown Prince completely declare war with the Heavenly Courts.” “The Heavenly Courts should prosper since they have supported the Heavenly Dao. Previously, there were mediocre people in the Western Sect who tried to suppress the Heavenly Courts. They were wrong. They also caused the Heavenly Courts to criticize the Western Sect. This is not what the two teachers meant. Everyone in the Primordial World knows that the Western Sect is poor and has bad luck. I also want the Western Sect to occupy some Deity Positions in the Heavenly Courts and increase the luck of my spiritual mountain. That’s all. I don’t have any requests.” The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes paused and looked up at Daoist Lu Ya, who was sitting on the throne. There was a faint smile on his thin face, giving him a friendly and approachable vibe. “I also know that the Crown Prince might have some reservations and is unwilling to join hands with my spiritual mountain.”
As he spoke, the old Daoist priest took out a bag from his sleeve and pushed it towards the platform with his immortal power. When the bag flew forward, it opened on its own. Golden light flickered inside, and a vast heavenly might rippled out from the hall, revealing the huge seal inside. Demon G.o.d Seal!
Lu Ya and the dozen old demons suddenly stood up. The old demons tried their best to suppress their urge to reach out and let the huge seal land in Daoist Lu Ya’s outstretched right hand. The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes smiled and said, “Previously, Junior Brother Ksitigarbha promised the demons something. This time, I brought it over for you. Junior Brother Ksitigarbha was inferior to the Water G.o.d in one move. He had caused heavy casualties to the demons and had been reprimanded by his teacher. The Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d is difficult to deal with… Your Highness, do you really think that the Water G.o.d will spare your life because you took the initiative to negotiate? Don’t forget how ferocious his methods were during the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain. He is different from both of us. He was a human and had been born after the ancient times. He hates demons to begin with. Everyone, please consider carefully. I will not force you to join forces with me. I just feel that although the human race is the main character in this world, they should leave some s.p.a.ces for the living beings from the ancient times to survive. Everyone, do you think that’s right?” The hall fell silent.
Near the hall door, Daoist Wen Jing hugged her arms and leaned against the stone pillar. The silver-haired girl beside her held a sword and lowered her head silently. There was a smile on Wen Jing’s lips, but she could not help but mutter in her heart… I wonder if the aura I deliberately left behind was discovered by the Water G.o.d. According to the Water G.o.d’s temperament, he should be constantly monitoring the place. Tsk, another disciple of the Great Saint has come out of seclusion and started to interfere in the battle between the Western Sect and the Dao Sect. In the past two years, there have been rumors in the Western Sect that a great calamity is about to happen to the Dao Sect. I wonder if it’s true.
He is really the hardworking Water G.o.d and the disciple of the Western Saint.
Perhaps in a few days, the old Daoist priest would be carried down again. The Water G.o.d would then say calmly to the spiritual mountain, “Next.”
The smile on Daoist Wen Jing’s lips gradually became charming. “Aunt Wen,” the young girl sent a voice transmission. “Which living being should we kill this time?”
The smile on Wen Jing’s lips froze. How many times had she said that she wanted to call the Queen!
“Just call me Sister. Don’t keep calling me Aunt.” Daoist Wen Jing sent a voice transmission back. “It’s still too early to fight. Don’t be anxious. The outside world is not as simple as the Blood Sea. This place focuses on scheming and scheming.”
“Oh,” Lady Rakshasa replied. Her silver-white hair flowed like water as she entered her cloak and put on her cloak. “Then I’ll rest, Aunt Wen.”
The cross-shaped veins on Wen Jing’s forehead popped up, but she did not say anything. She continued to fold her arms and lean against the stone pillar. Her enchanting figure was vaguely visible as she listened to the old Daoist priest continue to deceive the silly demons. Why did he say that they were stupid? The old Daoist priest had already said so much. The so-called experts of the demon race did not suspect his ident.i.ty at all… At last, the demon prince was still a little conscious. Before the two sides were about to form another alliance and officially join forces, he asked, “Senior, how should I address you?” The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes smiled and said calmly, “My master is the Saint of the Western Sect. My name is Bodhi.”
What is an auspicious beast? He had predicted that there would be a calamity in the north of the North Continent half a year in advance. He had even sensed the arrival of a calamity through the operation of the Heavenly Dao…
That was actually a kind of intuition. However, it was an intuition that could be traced. Li Changshou could not be envious of Bai Ze’s mystical ability. Why is the difference between living beings so huge!?! Bai Ze’s mystical ability could be used on him to avoid disasters in time. He could sense that something was amiss and escape in time. Now, helping Li Changshou, the Water G.o.d would “a.s.sist” him in showing the effects. The Heavenly Courts had prepared half a year in advance. Before the demons had done anything, the Magi of the North Continent had already received Li Changshou’s warning. They had followed Li Changshou’s defense plan and completed the initial arrangements. Next, it was time to wait for the demons to deliver food. On the third day after Wen Jing and the unfamiliar expert from the spiritual mountain, the silver-haired girl, disappeared in the land of the demons, hundreds of demon kings gathered at an unimportant peak. Daoist Lu Ya did not appear, but the dozens of ancient legendary figures of the demons appeared together. It made the demons’ blood boil and swept away the negative emotions caused by the Heavenly Courts previously. However, today, the legendary figures of the demon race criticized the Heavenly Courts for being unrighteous. Their words changed and they turned to the battle between the ancient Magi and demons.
Lu Gong, who was famous among the demons, stood up and bowed to the world three times.
He yelled “The Magi are ferocious and bullied me for being kind. Today, the Magi are still gathering in the North Continent with the intention of suppressing us and hunting the Primordial World again!
In order to protect the clarity of the world, and also for the heroic souls that died in the hands of the Magi in the ancient times, the demons have launched a northern expedition to suppress the remnants of the Magi! Let the light of the righteous path s.h.i.+ne on the Primordial World!”
Most of the older demons understood that they were using the Magi to force the Heavenly Courts to attack. The young demons, who did not know much about the world, were all hot-blooded and shouted.
At that moment, the demonic aura at the border of the North Continent surged and covered the sky. It condensed into a huge three-legged Golden Crow phantom above the Nine Heavens. Its aura suddenly rose!
Underground, Li Changshou’s paper effigy observed and shook his head secretly. The Western Sect was too ruthless. If they wanted him to die, they had to make him go crazy first. That was to send the demons to their deaths. The disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect whom he had only seen from the back was probably a ruthless character who had never shown his face before.
Just based on the performance of the demons previously, they would definitely not be able to shout out those righteous words. They did not have enough confidence and vision. They were most likely the disciples of the Western Sect’s Saint.
However, after thinking about it carefully, what did those words represent? The demons wanted to “enforce justice on behalf of the Heavenly Courts” and s.n.a.t.c.h justice from the Heavenly Courts. With those few statements, Li Changshou could completely wake the Jade Emperor up and let the Heavenly Courts start a full-scale war against the demons. Of course, that would be a huge blow to the Heavenly Courts as they would suffer many casualties. “Come steadily.” Li Changshou sighed and continued to monitor the movements of the demons and check the deployment of the Heavenly Courts. His thoughts had to be clear as usual. He wanted to strike after the enemy. This time, he did not want to wipe out the demon troops. He wanted to eat some of the elite demons and rewrite the comparison between the experts of the Heavenly Courts and the demons. Two days later, the demons attacked.
A total of one-third of the demons left the gathering place of the North Continent. A hundred demon kings, thousands of demon experts, and hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers formed an army at the border of the North Continent and headed towards the West Ocean.
The strength of the demon soldiers was uneven. Most of them were at the Essence Immortal realm. If they directly pa.s.sed through the region with the thickest miasma in the North Continent, more than half of them would die.
As for the Magi of the North Continent, they had previously supported Chi You and Emperor Huang Xuanyuan to fight for the position of the Human Emperor because of some of the ancient Magi causing trouble. In the end, they suffered a backlash from the destiny of the human race. Most of the strength left behind by the ancient Magi had been damaged. At that moment, they could only resist the demon army for a while. They were not their match at
all.
Moreover, according to Li Changshou’s observation, tens of thousands of true demon elites had already entered the miasma of the North Continent while the demon army was rus.h.i.+ng to the West Ocean. Under the lead of hundreds of true demon experts, they slowly forced their way to the gathering place of the Magi.
He also counted the mighty figures of the demon race who could rush over before the battle, as well as those who had Immortal-Slaying Flying Daggers like Lu Ya…
They were ambushed on all sides and surrounded from all directions. The Magi were in huge danger.
