Chapter 597: Daji Appears and The Demons Are Exiled
Less than half a month after Li Changshou returned to the Heavenly Courts, the weather in the world changed. Many gazes gathered at the border of the North Continent.
The five continents were sealed, and the four seas were in turmoil. Most of the Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent had stopped their battles.
Unknowingly, the Immortal Sects of the human race, who originally did not take the Heavenly Courts seriously, had to consider how the Heavenly Courts would affect them if they attacked the demons.
That day, thunder rumbled in the sky above the North Continent, and dark clouds covered the sky.
At the North Heavenly Gate, dozens of golden-armored Heavenly Gods held their weapons and were full of killing intent.
There were a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers from the Thunder Division on each side. They stood on the clouds and held their breaths.
In front of the Lingxiao Hall, the ordinary officials of the Heavenly Courts who had just bowed to the Jade Emperor turned around and left. Behind them, there were dozens of righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts.
The white-robed Jade Emperor sat on the platform. There was a hint of peace and comfort in his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes.
The Inspector-General understood the rough attacks of the Heavenly Emperor!
How could the Jade Emperor miss such a huge matter of the Heavenly Courts?
He had changed his mind about Quan Dong’s incarnation. He no longer hid. He let others know that he was the Jade Emperor’s incarnation in the open and in the dark, but no one dared to expose him. That would make it easier for him to move around.
Li Changshou did not think much of it.
As long as the incarnation did not appear often and did not do anything to make him happy or anger his junior sister, everything would be fine. Nothing would go wrong.
Quan Dong was mixed among the Heavenly Generals at the North Heavenly Gate. He stood behind the Heavenly Generals.
That was also the main reason for the tense atmosphere.
At that moment, the Jade Emperor…
To be honest, he was a little stunned.
He naturally knew the exact strength of the Heavenly Courts. He also knew that the Heavenly Courts still lacked experts. Previously, he had always adopted a conservative defense strategy because he was worried that the previous awkwardness would happen again.
When the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was triggered, the Heavenly Courts’ troops rose. There were no experts, and the three sects did not support them. They returned dejectedly.
However, in the Jade Emperor’s opinion, Li Changshou’s thunderous actions were not rash. They were clear and orderly, as if he had prepared a plan for many years. However, he had not given him any information previously.
Why did he suddenly attack?
The only thing he knew was that Li Changshou had gone to the Purple Cloud Palace.
The Jade Emperor could not help but fall into deep thought. A bold guess appeared in his heart!
“Changgeng was scolded by the Dao Ancestor for losing the Primordial Violet Qi and becoming useless. Changgeng felt resentful and immediately proved his ability to the Dao Ancestor.”
Yes, that should be the case.
It was impossible that the Dao Ancestor and Changgeng were secretly competing with each other outside the Heavenly Emperor’s vision.
That was ridiculous. The Dao Ancestor could change the world with a flip of his hand.
Even his Heavenly Emperor could be changed with a word from the Dao Ancestor. How could he compete with Changgeng?
Moreover, Changgeng’s personality was stable. Every time he faced the Western Sect, he would not be fierce to the Saints of the Western Sect. How could he dare to have any thoughts about the Dao Ancestor?
Quan Dong smiled calmly, his eyes calm.
The Three Realms were peaceful.
At that moment, streams of light flew over and transformed into Li Changshou and dozens of Heavenly Courts’ righteous gods from the North Heavenly Gate.
“Let’s go.”
At Li Changshou’s command, the 200,000 Heavenly Soldiers of the Thunder Division set off and added the last piece of the puzzle that surrounded the North Continent.
Half a day later, at noon.
In the sky above the North Continent, the miasma clouds that had not dissipated for years seemed to have become much thinner.
From the southern border of the North Continent to the North Ocean, the eight Heavenly Soldiers and more than 1,000 generals had already entered their respective battle positions.
Hundreds of experts recruited by the Heavenly Courts were scattered everywhere. Although there were no top mighty figures, their combat strength was considerable.
Li Changshou appeared in the middle of the border of the North Continent and sat on a round chair. Behind him, there were a hundred Heavenly Soldiers, and several Heavenly Courts officials on each side.
Quan Dong went to the North Ocean to supervise the battle. The battle there would be abnormally intense.
Below, a demonic aura surged. Countless demons gathered there, but at that moment, the mountains were silent.
Li Changshou seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. In fact, he was secretly deploying the various troops. The messenger behind him kept sending out messenger jade talismans and dividing the battlefield carefully.
In some battles, the other party had many powerful experts. They mainly delayed the siege and found the other party’s weakness to arrange for elite Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to deal with them as soon as possible after the battle began. Then, they would rush to the side to help.
The morale of the various Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals was high. They were filled with confidence. Someone was destined to bleed and die in this battle. Someone was also destined to rise.
“Has Ao Yi returned?”
Li Changshou asked. A Heavenly General immediately reported that the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Ao Yi, had arrived yesterday.
“Everyone, prepare to attack. Attack at three minutes past noon. First, beat the drums to strengthen the military might.”
“Okay!”
The messenger waved the Dharma treasures and array flags in their hands. The drums sounded everywhere in the North Continent. The sky above the North Continent was silent.
Amidst the drums, a few copper mirrors appeared on the preplanned battlefields in the North Continent.
The copper mirror shone in the sky and projected the same image on the clouds. It revealed Li Changshou’s figure sitting on the throne.
Li Changshou smiled and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the jade chair. He seemed to be in a good mood.
His leisurely attitude naturally increased the morale of his side.
However, on the demons’ side, the old demons were filled with worries. The pressure on the demon kings increased. The demon soldiers muttered that the Great Spirit Explosion was coming. Their faces were pale and their fighting spirits were gone.
Deterrence.
“Report…”
Suddenly, he heard the messenger speeding on a cloud. The thousands of troops and arrived in front of Lord Taibai Jinxing.
The messenger landed on one knee and held the token. His voice spread throughout the North Continent through the bronze mirror.
“Reporting, Lord Taibai Jinxing! A demon came to seek peace and said that they are your old friends. When they went to the Heavenly Courts to seek an audience, you promised to meet them today!”
“Oh?”
Li Changshou’s eyes were half-closed. He pondered for a while and said calmly, “There is such a thing. There are still some gaps before the battle. Let them come over. left and right.”
“Here!”
“If the demons have any ill intentions later, kill them.”
“Yes!”
The Heavenly Generals agreed in unison. Their military might was cold, and the living beings trembled.
Not long after, a white cloud floated past the Heavenly Soldiers. On it, there were two old women and several beautiful female demons. The person in the middle was the “acquaintance”.
It was the fox of the Qing Qiu Clan, Lan, who had pursued Old Daoist priest Qi Yuan because of a misunderstanding and even ended up being taught a lesson several times.
At that moment, she lowered her head and frowned. She did not dare to look up at the only legitimate god sitting there. She kept thinking about the instructions of the seniors before she came here…
Many seniors of the demon race placed their only hope on her. She was also prepared to sacrifice herself to protect the entire race.
Lan was naturally fearless in the face of hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and the vast Heavenly Might.
Her current cultivation level was not weak. She could already be considered the most eye-catching star among the rising talents of the demon race. Moreover, because she had entered the Dao of Love back then and suffered from love, her appearance had changed slightly over the years.
She was no longer as domineering as the manager of the brothel in the South Continent. She was no longer as infatuated as she was when she begged to meet Daoist Priest Qi Yuan in front of the Immortal Du Sect. She had become more dazzling and gentle.
Her skin was sparkling and translucent, like she was in her twenties. Her facial features were exquisite and charming.
At that moment, she was wearing a dress. Her long hair was simple and restrained, giving her a natural charm. Her slender fingers were fiddled with, her red lips were pursed slightly, and her slender and enchanting figure made people fantasize.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were disciplined. At that moment, no matter how high their cultivation levels were, they did not have Spirit Eyes to observe them.
For example, if the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals revealed their ugly expressions, it would be the greatest insult to the fairies of the Jade Pool.
Lan followed the two old women and arrived in front of Li Changshou. They lowered their heads and knelt.
An old woman shouted, “Envoy of the Qing Qiu Clan greets the Heavenly Courts’ Lord Taibai Jinxing!”
Li Changshou remained silent and ignored them.
The two old women looked at each other and lowered their heads with their hands behind their backs. They gestured for Lan and the other female demons behind them to not move.
At that moment, Li Changshou was a little puzzled.
Xiao Lan…
There was clearly something wrong!
Why is the progress of the Dao Realm so fast? Unknowingly, I’m already at the edge of the Golden Immortal realm!
Li Changshou secretly used the Qi Gazing technique, but he did not see how much luck Xiaolan had. A blue light flashed in his eyes. He used the Heavenly Eye technique, but Li Changshou secretly cursed.
A snow-white fox knelt in front of him. Its nine tails scattered all over the ground.
This…
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that possessed Su Daji?
It is very possible.
According to the Heavenly Dao’s peevishness, ahem, according to the Heavenly Dao’s usual line of thought, all those who were related would definitely have an aftermath.
His master, Qi Yuan, was the reincarnation of Jiang Ziya. It was not surprising that the vixen who had wooed his master was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox…
Who wouldn’t be surprised!?!
What is the style of the God-Conferment Story that I participated in?!
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was infatuated with Jiang Ziya. Daji and Di Xin were possessed.
Su Daji and King Wen’s eldest son, Bo Yikao, were childhood sweethearts. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox deliberately seduced Bo Yikao in order to complete the Shang Dynasty…
It was chaotic.
Li Changshou’s mind quickly returned to peace. He opened his clear Dao heart and asked slowly, “Fellow Daoist, have you been well recently?”
Lan was stunned. She looked up at Li Changshou weakly and asked softly, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, are you asking me?”
“Yes,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Apart from you, who else here has a relationship with me?”
“I’ve been cultivating in peace recently and have not gone out. Everything is fine.”
Lan answered softly. Her voice trembled subconsciously. She said in a low voice, “Back then, I… I did not recognize you, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Please forgive me if I offended you.”
She paused and asked hesitantly, “Daoist Priest… did you leave safely?”
Li Changshou closed his eyes and sighed softly. He said, “My soul has been burned by the Golden Crow True Flames. How can I be peaceful? Forget it, I won’t mention it anymore. Today, I will fight to destroy the demons. It will help me vent my anger. The ancient demons had done many evil deeds, did not cultivate morals, and bullied all living beings. They originally wanted to fight against the Magi, but in the end, they replaced the Magi and became the evil of the world. After the battle between the Magihumans, the living beings were in a tragic state, and Heaven and Earth were greatly damaged. The Magihumans had the strict orders of the Dao Ancestor not to cause any more trouble.”
“However, you demons have an ancient dream. You treat the main characters of today as livestock. You don’t forget to destroy the Magi and make a comeback. You have committed many crimes.”
The world could not tolerate it.
You came to plead for mercy for the demons today. Have you thought about the living beings who died in the stomach of the ferocious demons?
Who should plead for them?”
“Well…”
Xiaolan lowered her head and did not dare to answer. She was not good at arguing.
If she were to talk about love or seeking pleasure, she had an endless accumulation of knowledge that she had learned from the Qing Qiu C;an. However, she could not say anything about such a huge problem and war.
An old woman hurriedly said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, the demons are not only ferocious. The demons also have good tribes that do not kill. Those demons who are ambitious and view living beings as livestock are actually not the main bodies of the demons. ”
“Really?”
Li Changshou smiled calmly and said, “Did you come to plead for mercy today for the demons?”
“Lord Taibai Jinxing is wise! We just want to have a place in the world!”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and tapped the armrest of the jade chair.
“How should I judge if I’m a good demon?”
“You can judge the merit of negative karma,” the old woman said. “The demons are naturally difficult. Many of their race members have yet to develop intelligence. They will naturally eat raw meat and drink blood. There will always be some negative karma, but this negative karma is rather small. Now that the battle is imminent, Lord Taibai Jinxing, you only need to give the orders to let the demons who have not done any evil live in seclusion and not go out. A large number of demons will naturally disperse. The Heavenly Courts will also have less resistance.”
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and sat there with his eyes closed.
A voice transmission suddenly sounded in Xiaolan’s heart. “Do you know what kind of suffering you will bear today?”
Xiaolan was stunned. She looked up at Li Changshou. Under the white hair and white eyebrows, she could vaguely see the young Daoist’s face.
Xiaolan shook her head with a puzzled expression.
Li Changshou sighed and sent a voice transmission.
“Alright, I’ll sever some karma with you. I’ll give you some pointers today. You came here to plead for leniency, this is actually an important sign of the demon race’s split. What you have said now has been broadcast everywhere in the North Continent. In the hands of those old demons, you demons who have come to plead for mercy are traitors. You are too conspicuous today. You will definitely be targeted by the demons later. Even if you don’t dare to attack your Qing Qiu Clan, you will still face gossip. Let’s make some preparations. That’s all. The karma that I used my master’s appearance to deceive you twice back then has been severed. We will no longer have any ties in the future. Although the world is huge, do your best.”
Li Changshou sighed slowly.
“Get up.”
Li Changshou said, “The Nine-tailed Fox Clan rarely does evil. They are on good terms with many fairies of the Goddess’s Palace. I know about that. Since you have come to plead today, I can’t reject you. After all, the Goddess has done me a huge favor. From today onwards, the demons will not have any negative karma. Retreat to the east of the East Continent and wait. The Heavenly Soldiers will not cause trouble for you. I hope that you will be clean in the future. There’s no need to use the word demon in the future.”
After saying that, Li Changshou waved his hand and sent the Heavenly Soldiers forward.
The two old women were overjoyed. The few female demons also felt relieved. They kowtowed and bowed.
Only Lan seemed to be in deep thought. Before she was driven away by the Heavenly Soldiers, she turned around and looked at Li Changshou. She bowed to the old immortal.
Li Changshou fell into deep thought on the cloud.
What should he do?
Although she said that his master’s soul had already dissipated, Lan clearly still had feelings for him.
If his master, Jiang Ziya, was recognized by Lan when he went to Chaoge City to become an official during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, his master would not be able to resist the urge to go for a night meeting…
Di Xin was miserable.
Love was a small matter. If he changed the God-Conferment Storyline because of this and ruined some of his schemes, he would lose out greatly.
What should I do?
Should I do something to my master’s reincarnation to avoid being recognized by Lan?
That’s not right. The Primordial World is so huge. The Nine-tailed Fox might not be Lan… Yes, I’ll send the paper effigy to monitor it later. I’ll make a conclusion after observing it for a while.
A Heavenly General sent a voice transmission to remind him.
“Sir, it’s time.”
Li Changshou raised his head and looked at the sun. He slowly stood up and opened his left hand. A Heavenly General carried a divine sword and held it tightly.
“Everyone, listen up!”
Listen… Listen…
Li Changshou’s voice echoed in the North Continent through the cloud mirror.
The world was filled with killing intent.
The ground was like a volcano that was about to erupt. The suppressed demonic aura was like surging magma, accumulating the power to spew upwards.
The sky was like the eye of the storm. Although it was quiet for a moment, there would immediately be a violent storm as long as there was a slight deviation!
Clang!
Li Changshou pulled out his sword and pointed it downwards.
“Exterminate the demons.”
