Chapter 41: The Eve of the Great War

  Lao Zi's elixir was indeed extraordinary, and after a short while, Duo Bao's injuries had almost recovered.

  "Thanks for saving me, Big Brother."

  Duobao didn't know what to say anymore, in a short period of time, Yun Zhongzi had already saved him twice, plus the previous one, adding up, Yun Zhongzi had saved Duobao three times. This kindness and favor were too great, Duobao also didn't know when he could repay them.

  Yun Zhongzi shook his head and said, "Don't take these things to heart. As fellow disciples of the Intercepting Sect, we should help each other out. However, Junior Brother must also work hard; otherwise, where will the reputation of our sect go in the future?"

  Yun Zhongzi was telling the truth. Although Duobao only had the cultivation of a Daluo Jinxian in the early stages, as the second disciple of Tongtian Sect Master, his combat power shouldn't be just that much.

  But unfortunately he has always been practicing hard, and the number of times he has fought with others can be counted on one hand. His experience is far less than that of the great Han, otherwise it wouldn't have ended like this.

  Qiong Xiao immediately echoed, "Right, right, Big Brother Shifu is right, don't take it to heart."

  Yun Xiao's eyes widened in surprise, Qiong Xiao's neck shrunk back, and she stuck out her tongue, no longer speaking. Only then did Yun Xiao turn to Yun Zhongzi and say, "I haven't even thanked Big Brother Master for saving me yet."

  Yun Zhongzi waved his hand, letting everyone know that they didn't have to be so formal. He said, "Now that we've already offended the demon tribe, my three junior sisters from Sanxian Island can't stay here temporarily either, lest the demon tribe come looking for trouble. Although I, the Sect Leader, am not afraid of the demon tribe, constantly seeking trouble is also annoying. My three junior sisters should find another place to live."

  Yun Xiao and the other two hadn't spoken yet when a worried voice came from afar, "Three sisters, are you alright?"

  Everyone saw that it was Zhao Gongming. It turned out that San Ye had asked Duobao for help first, and then passed the Lingfu to Zhao Gongming. However, Zhao Gongming's cultivation was far inferior to that of Duobao and Yunzhongzi, and he had been traveling outside recently, not in Luofu Cave, so he arrived just in time.

  "Big brother, we're fine." San Ye said in unison.

  Zhao Gongming calmed down and took a look at the situation in the field, roughly guessing what had happened. He immediately cupped his hands to Yun Zhongzi and Duobao, saying, "Zhao Gongming has seen Master, Second Master."

  Yun Zhongzi and Duobao both nodded, without saying much. Duobao spoke up, "Three younger sisters, Big Brother's words are reasonable, you can move back to Jin Ao Island."

  Three nights, their faces showed a hesitant expression. The three of them were originally clouds and did not like noisy environments. They had left Jin'ao Island in the first place because there were too many disciples on Jin'ao Island, it was too noisy, so they went out to find a place to live. Now that they were asked to go back, the three of them were somewhat unwilling.

  Yun Zhongzi's true body was also a cloud, so he could naturally guess some of San Xiao's thoughts. He said, "If not, there aren't many people on my Five Elements Island right now. Apart from me, there are only Zhong Ling and three young boys. If the three of you don't mind, why don't you temporarily stay on Five Elements Island?"

  "Wu Xing Island?"

  San Xiao and Zhao Gongming were both somewhat perplexed, what kind of place was that? They had never heard of it before.

  Duobao, having cultivated on Jin'ao Island, had also been to Wuxing Island twice, so he was familiar with it. He began to introduce Wuxing Island to San Xiao and Zhao Gongming. The more San Xiao listened, the happier she became, saying directly, "How come we didn't find such a good place earlier? It's fortunate for Master Brother that if we had found it first, we would not have given it to him."

  Yun Zhongzi heard this and could only smile bitterly, rubbing his nose bridge, without saying much.

  Yun Zhongzi then led a few people to rush to Wuxing Island, and Duobao also temporarily went to Wuxing Island to recover from his injuries, without returning to Jinyu Island.

  Although not many people knew about Yun Zhongzi's killing of the five demon gods, how could such a thing be hidden from the demon clan? Soon, the demon master Kunpeng learned about the whole story and secretly scolded the big man for his foolishness while also filling with resentment towards Yun Zhongzi.

  Five great demon gods of the Mahayana Golden Immortal period, and among them, there was even one who was close to being a quasi-saint. Such demon gods were also rare and precious fighting forces for the demon tribe, equivalent to a Great Demon. However, they were directly beheaded by Yun Zhongzi, which made Kun Peng hate him so much that his teeth itched. At the same time, Kun Peng was secretly shocked because he had learned another piece of information: Yun Zhongzi's cultivation had reached the late stage of Mahayana Golden Immortal.

  In the past, Yun Zhongzi was still in the middle period of Daluo Jinxian, and he had no advantage over his senior. Now that Yun Zhongzi's cultivation has improved again, next time they meet, he might only have a dead end.

  Thinking of the two treasures in Yun Zhongzi's hands, Kunpeng felt a pang of envy and grew more and more indignant. As a mighty demon master, he didn't even have a single decent magical artifact to his name. Compared to Emperor Jun, Taiyi, Minghe, Zhenyuanzi and other quasi-saints, Kunpeng was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

  Compared with these quasi-saints, Kunpeng could only admit defeat, but even Yun Zhongzi, who was only in the Da Luo Golden Immortal period, couldn't compare to them. Kunpeng could only look up at the sky speechlessly.

  As for Yun Zhongzi's beheading of the demon god this time, Kun Peng can also guess its intention: deterrence and warning!

  Yun Zhongzi's move was exactly this, he wanted to use this to intimidate the demon clan, let them not look for trouble with the Intercept Sect disciples, keep a distance from the Intercept Sect disciples, otherwise, as long as they provoke the Intercept Sect disciples, there is nothing good to say, one word, kill!

  Yun Zhongzi didn't take the You tribe people seriously, except for Tian Di Emperor Jun, Dong Huang Taiyi and Yao Shi Kunpeng. For others, he simply didn't worry about them at all.

  As for Fuxi, he has some connections with Fuxi and generally doesn't get involved in the affairs of the demon clan, so Fuxi won't come to bother Yun Zhongzi.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi, for the sake of the saint, did not dare to come and find Yun Zhongzi. As for Kun Peng, Yun Zhongzi is now even looking forward to a battle with Kun Peng, in order to test how much his strength has increased.

  Gonggong was enraged, but this matter had too great an impact, and he could not help but report it to Emperor Jun.

  "Your Majesty, this is a dereliction of duty on my part, Kun Peng wishes to accept punishment."

  Kunpeng was arrogant, but at this time he had to bow his head. The demon tribe directly lost five Daluo Jinxian this time, and the loss was not small. It couldn't tolerate Kunpeng being careless in dealing with Emperor Jun.

  Di Jun said, "You don't have to blame yourself, this matter is not your fault. You have done your duty for our demon tribe, how can you be punished? I will handle this myself."

  Kun Peng heard this and slightly rejoiced, saying, "Thank you, Demon Emperor, for your pardon. Kun Peng takes his leave."

  "Alright, go." Emperor Jun waved his hand.

  Taiyi, who was standing beside him, had been quiet all this time and only spoke up now, "After the last incident with Hongyun, Kunpeng has become much more subdued, at least he is now wholeheartedly working for our demon tribe, which is a good thing. But that Yunzhongzi, humph, just a minor Daluo Golden Immortal, yet he dares to not put our demon tribe in his eyes, without giving us any face, even if he is from the Sect of Saints, we will make him pay attention."

  "Brother, you're taking this too lightly," Emperor Jun said with a shake of his head. "Yun Zhongzi is warning us, the demon tribe, not to provoke the disciples of Jie Teaching. Now that our tribe and the witch tribe are preparing for war, every bit of strength counts, and some people will inevitably set their sights on the Jie Teaching disciples. He's doing this solely to protect them, using the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak as a deterrent. The message is clear: among my demon tribe, only we few quasi-saints can match him, but we don't dare confront him directly. Moreover, he has a grudge against Kunpeng. If we continue to cause trouble for Jie Teaching disciples, Yun Zhongzi might help the witch tribe deal with us in a fit of rage, which would be disastrous for our tribe. So not only can't we blame Yun Zhongzi, but we must also warn our people: absolutely do not provoke the Jie Teaching disciples."

  Di Jun directly stated the impact of the entire matter and Yun Zhongzi's thoughts, showing that Di Jun is a cautious and meticulous person.

  Taiyi was no fool either. After Emperor Jun's words, he immediately understood and said, "Everything is a saint. If my demon clan has two saints, how can we do things so hastily?"

  Di Jun was also helpless at this time, a saint is not something that can be thought of and obtained, if Hong Yun was still around, he might have considered Hong Yun's Hong Meng purple energy, unfortunately Hong Yun had disappeared, and the Hong Meng purple energy had also disappeared.

  The demon clan could only swallow this dumb loss, and from then on, no one from the demon clan dared to provoke the disciples of the Cutting Path, nor did they dare to provoke the disciples of other saints. The door of the saint was peaceful, but the entire Honghuang was turned upside down.

  Among them, some scattered cultivators didn't even want to show their faces and instead flew the flag of a saint's sect in order to avoid the pressure from the demon tribe. However, some demon cultivators were extremely foolish, clearly having an appearance that was cruel and evil, yet they insisted on saying they were disciples of the Profound or Human Sects. As a result, they naturally couldn't escape and were beaten until their souls flew away.

  After that, these scattered cultivators learned their lesson and never said they were disciples of the Profound Teachings Sect, Human Sect or Western Sect again. They only said they were disciples of the Intercepting Sect. As a result, the demon tribe could no longer distinguish between them and had to let them go. This happened many times, until finally, both the witch and demon tribes gave up searching for Zi Xuan Ke and returned to their own strongholds to prepare for war.

  After this incident, the vast continent of Honghuang returned to calmness once again. Of course, everyone knew that this was only a brief calm before the storm arrived. A dark undercurrent surged, and almost everyone sensed the oppressive atmosphere that loomed over the entire Honghuang.

  The demon tribe, Emperor Jun has gone into seclusion. Last time he went out to calculate the heavenly machine, he was injured and since then he has been busy with the affairs of the demon tribe, without having had a chance to go into seclusion. Now that everything is settled, he is waiting for the arrival of the thousand-year period of the Dao ancestor, so he has gone into seclusion to recover from his injuries and at the same time adjust his state to its best condition.

  Outside the Ancestral Witch Temple, all the big witches and small witches sat around the temple, cultivating. As for the 11th Ancestor Witch and Xing Tian Da Wu, they were inside the Ancestral Witch Temple, it was unknown what they were doing.

  The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the entire Honghuang continent has fallen into a strange atmosphere. At this time, except for some people with strong willpower and determination, no one can cultivate peacefully. This oppressive atmosphere makes people feel very uncomfortable, and everyone knows that a great storm is coming.

  Inside the Five Elements Island, Yun Zhongzi didn't cultivate either. Every day he was either lecturing to Zhong Ling and a few young boys or accompanying San Xiao on a tour of the Eastern Sea. He seemed very carefree, without too much concern for the affairs of the two tribes. As such, the days passed quickly, and before long, the thousand-year period of the Dao Ancestor arrived.

  Today is Yun Feng's birthday, and I'm thickening my skin to ask for some recommendation votes. Also, I want to mention that recently, updates will likely be very late, probably around 8 or 9 pm!
