One Hundred and Two Disputes

  Although it was decided to listen to the Tao before going on an adventure, there were some things that needed to be done in advance. Di Jun and Tai Yi did not want to encounter danger again. To say that they did not have a grudge in their hearts after the battle of Penglai Fairy Island last time would be false. At that time, Zhu Jiuyin was at his weakest, and it was also the most critical moment for himself. However, Fuxi, Nüwa Niangniang, and Kunpeng, who were all from the same demon clan, did not lend a hand to help. This time, they needed to make things clear in advance.

  "Listen, Emperor Jun said: "Fuxi Daoist friend, Nüwa Daoist friend, Kunpeng Daoist friend, this time Hongjun Daozu's lecture is a good opportunity for us to improve our cultivation. We naturally shouldn't miss it. However, you should also be clear that we have a great enemy, which is the Wu tribe, or more accurately, Zhu Jiuyin. I think you all understand how powerful Zhu Jiuyin is. I hope this time everyone can work together and overcome the difficulties!"

  When they heard the words of Emperor Jun, Fu Xi and Nüwa exchanged a glance. They were very clear about what Emperor Jun was thinking, and they had no reason to refuse such things.

  Only then did Fuxi nod and say: "We are all of the demon tribe, so we should naturally work together in harmony. I have no opinion on this matter, but I wonder what my friend Kunpeng thinks?"

  Fuxi made this statement, Kunpeng naturally couldn't oppose it, otherwise he would be isolated by Fuxi, Nüwa Niangniang, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, and his situation would be dangerous at that time.

  Kun Peng hastily said: "How could I refuse something that is beneficial to everyone!"

  Verbal consent did not make Di Jun and Tai Yi relax, they were very clear about Fuxi, Nvwangniang and Kunpeng's character. If the three of them were really that good, then they would not have sat idly by and watched their own people die, causing the demon tribe to suffer greatly. If it wasn't for Hongjun Daozu intervening at the time, the demon tribe might have fallen completely by now. Therefore, Di Jun and Tai Yi brothers did not believe a single word of what they said.

  Taiyi said in a deep voice, "Alright, since everyone agrees, that's for the best. However, this matter concerns everyone's life and death. I think an empty promise won't be able to put people at ease. I suggest we swear an oath with our hearts' demons: this time when we go to listen to the Tao, no matter what happens, we must work together in unity to overcome the difficulties. If anyone betrays this oath, heaven's punishment will befall them, and their soul will scatter!"

  Good grief, Taiyi is quite ruthless to make such a demand, this kind of proposal would even intimidate Fuxi, Nüwa and Kunpeng into not daring to slack off.

  As soon as Taiyi finished speaking, Fuxi, Nüwa and Kunpeng's faces changed color. Kunpeng said in a deep voice: "Taiyi, what do you mean by this? If you don't believe us, then let's not cooperate!"

  Kun Peng opened his mouth, and Fu Xi also nodded and said: "Taiyi Daoist friend, you made such a request, we can't agree to it. The Heart Demon's Great Oath is not a joke, we absolutely won't agree!"

  When Taiyi heard Fuxi and Kunpeng's opposition, a cold smile flashed across his face, not moving at all. He let out a cold snort and said: "So to speak, the three Daoist friends never thought of advancing and retreating together with us. Since that's the case, what's the point of even talking about cooperation?"

  Di Jun also said in a deep voice: "Three Taoist friends, if you are truly cooperating with us, then our requirements will not be excessive. On the contrary, if you refuse, it would make us uneasy. After all, we don't want to form an alliance with someone who is willing to sacrifice others and escape at any time and place. If the three of you insist on this, then there's nothing more to say between us. Everything will end here, and everyone will go their separate ways!"

  Di Jun and Tai Yi's dominance put pressure on Fu Xi, Nüwa Niangniang, and Kunpeng, who didn't want to clash with the Di Jun and Tai Yi brothers yet. After all, in this heavenly court, the Di Jun and Tai Yi brothers were still revered because they controlled the 'Zhou Tian Star Big Array'.

  But to make them bow their heads like this, Fuxi, Nüwa and Kunpeng are also unwilling to see it. After all, if they yield this time, they will have to lower themselves one notch in the future.

  At this time, both sides fell into a dilemma. Emperor Jun and Taiyi, the two brothers, also felt the pressure, and their hearts became heavy. Things were much more difficult than they had thought. Originally, in their opinion, they had the upper hand, as long as they showed strength, Fuxi, Nüwa, and Kunpeng would yield. But now it seemed that everything was far from what they had expected.

  In the end, it was Taiyi who couldn't help but break the deadlock. He spoke in a low voice, saying: "Three fellow Taoists, if you really don't want to make the Heart Demon's Great Oath, then let's just go our separate ways this time. The hour is already late, and my big brother and I can still hold on, but I fear that the three of you may not be able to."

  As soon as Taiyi finished speaking, the color of Nüwa's face changed involuntarily. It seemed that she had thought of something. Indeed, things were just as Taiyi said. Emperor Jun and Taiyi could hold on because they had already found their direction in cultivation, and everyone was worried that Hongjun would waste his time lecturing this time. Emperor Jun and Taiyi went about their own business, fearing that they had the idea of not wanting to go.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi can do this because they won't suffer any loss, but Nüwa Niangniang cannot do so. She has her own seat in the Purple Palace, and if she were to let it fall due to a momentary thought, she would suffer greatly, and might even incur the displeasure of Hongjun Daozu.

  Taiyi grasped this point, so he directly laid his cards on the table with Nüwa Niangniang, and had a tone of "if we don't see eye to eye, then let's go our separate ways". As soon as he took on this stance, he immediately achieved a very good effect.

  Nüwa had no time to respond, while Fuxi said in a deep voice: "Alright, we can agree to release the Heart Demon's Great Oath, but only this once!"

  Fuxi spoke out, and Taiyi burst into loud laughter: "Brother Fuxi, my brother and I have no malicious intentions. This is an unavoidable move, just this once will do!"

  Taiyi's expression made Kunpeng sigh silently. Fuxi had already conceded, and if he continued to insist, it would be self-defeating. So he could only nod his head and say: "Since Fuxi Daoist friend and Nüwa Daoist friend have both agreed, I naturally have nothing more to say. This matter is settled!"

  Taiyi achieved his goal with such a strong approach, but at the same time left himself endless hidden dangers. Although on the surface this matter has been resolved, the contradictions between the three parties have actually become more intense, it's just that everyone is now forced to yield under common interests.

  Fuxi, Nüwa and Kunpeng were calm in their faces, but they had already scolded Taiyi and Emperor Jun to be a dog's blood.

  In this vast and chaotic world, everything is respected by strength. If one's own strength is not strong enough, they can only succumb to the threats of others.

  For this point, Zhu Jiuyin is better than Di Jun and Taiyi. At least Zhu Jiuyin used his own powerful strength to unite the entire Wu tribe together. Of course, this also has something to do with personality. After all, the Wu tribe is different from the Yao tribe. The Wu tribe values relationships, while the Yao tribe prioritizes benefits.

  However, from any aspect, the two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi have gone too far in their actions, and the consequences of doing so will only further divide the already discordant demon clan.

  After the result, Emperor Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Nüwa and Kunpeng did not dare to stay any longer. It is necessary to know that during their endless debate, many people in the Heavenly Court had already set out for the Purple Mansion, let alone the many masters who had already set out from Hongyuan.

  Actually, for this sermon, neither Candle Nine nor Emperor Jiang had ever thought of taking the opportunity to target Emperor Jun and Taiyi, because they all knew that everything cannot be done repeatedly, and using too many schemes will only lead to self-destruction. In the end, it is still the strongest who reigns supreme in this vast wilderness, and all conspiracies are nothing but a mere trifle in the face of absolute power. Rather than spending time plotting against others, it's better to focus on cultivating oneself and improving one's own abilities.

  All that can be said is that the vision of Emperor Jun, Taiyi and others was too poor. They only saw what was in front of them and did not focus on the future, so they wasted their energy and made useless efforts, which ruined the unity within themselves.

  Although the demon clan itself is not united, they have left endless hidden dangers for themselves. If it breaks out one day, it will be a fatal blow. Unfortunately, Di Jun and Tai did not take this into consideration, now they only care about their own interests!
