The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 284 - 230: Sneak Attack on the Heavenly Court (Part 1)

Chapter 284: Chapter 230: Sneak Attack on the Heavenly Court (Part 1)

Xuan Dou originally hailed from the Human Clan. Previously, when the Demon Race carried out their slaughter, he could hardly suppress the rage in his heart and wanted to head to the Primordial Inland to search and rescue his kin.

However, due to the command of Laozi, Xuan Dou had no choice but to seclude himself for quiet cultivation.

Now that Xuan Dou finally received his Master’s decree to descend the mountain, he would not show any favor towards the Demon Race. He directly unleashed his entire aura, pressing down against the multitude of the Demon Race.

This aura was overwhelming, even permeated with murderous intent and Evil Qi! Some of the Little Demons who had just entered the rank of Heavenly Immortal didn’t even get a chance to let out a cry of agony before they were directly obliterated by the coercion laced with Evil Qi, their souls scattered.

All members of the Demon Race engaging in the massacre of the Human Clan involuntarily halted their actions. They had no choice but to stop, for this aura specifically targeted those of the Demon Race who were slaughtering the Human Clan.

Although numerous Demons were slaughtering the Human Clan and they seemed unstoppable relative to the Human Clan, most of them were beings less powerful than a Golden Immortal, and even the leading Great Demons were only at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. How could such Cultivation withstand the pressure from a Sub-Saint at the Early Stage!

Though somewhat dissatisfied with Xuan Dou’s unreserved display of aura, Di Jun still kept a smile on his face and gave a salute to Xuan Dou, saying, "May I know what brings Fellow Daoist to this place?"

"Humph!" Xuan Dou snorted coldly, glancing at Di Jun with eyes nakedly overflowing with murderous intent, making no attempt to conceal it.

Staring at him for a long while, Xuan Dou pulled out a Taiching Talisman from his sleeve and started reciting aloud: "Decree of the Taiching Saint: the Twelve Yuan Hui approaches, the Calamity of Heaven and Earth looms. It is known that the Human Clan, created by Nuwa Saint, faces the threat of extinction below the Great Dao. Yet, beneath the Great Dao lies a glimmer of hope; the Human Clan should not be wiped out. Presently, the Human Clan numbers barely over ten thousand, thus this Calamity shall pass! By decree, the Demon Race must withdraw immediately and cease all slaughter! This is the decree!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun’s face suddenly turned ashen, and he said coldly, "Is that truly the Taiching Talisman of the Great Monad that Fellow Daoist holds?"

"Humph, what a Demon Emperor! Do you really wish to personally verify it?" Xuan Dou’s voice was filled with anger as he spoke with a stern face.

Before Di Jun could speak, Taiyi coldly laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist must be jesting. We, of course, dare not defy the majesty of a Saint! However, although the Taiching Saint is a Primordial Great Luo Saint, is it appropriate for him to intervene in the matters of the Human Clan?"

Di Jun was startled inwardly, thinking to himself, "This younger brother of mine is too rash, how can he question the Taiching Saint like this! If the Saint becomes enraged, then the Demon Race is truly in trouble!"

Thinking thus, Di Jun hurriedly stepped forward to pull Taiyi back, saying, "Fellow Daoist, do not take my brother’s words to heart. We merely wish to understand why the Taiching Saint would intervene in the matters of the Human Clan!"

Xuan Dou snorted coldly, saying, "Your Majesty Di Jun knows very well in your heart, so why bother to ask poor Daoist?"

Rebuffed, Di Jun’s face also looked a bit unpleasant. After all, he himself was the esteemed ruler of the Heavenly Court, and even if you are a Saint’s Disciple, it was not right to make it difficult for him to save face. So, after that, Di Jun stopped caring about the Saint’s authority, and his words were clearly tinged with irritation: "It is better for Fellow Daoist to speak clearly. We do not understand the meaning of your words!"

"Hahaha, how ridiculous! My Master, Taiching Saint Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, established the Human Sect to achieve sainthood and became the Sect Hierarch of the Human Sect. Who in the Primordial All Living Beings does not know this? How could he not intervene in the matters of the Human Clan? On the contrary, you two have not inquired of my Master before ruthlessly committing the slaughter, and afterwards, repeatedly questioned my intentions. What exactly are your motives?"

As he spoke, Xuan Dou’s aura surged dramatically. Although it hadn’t reached the level of a Sub-Saint at the Middle Stage, it wasn’t far off. Moreover, he focused all his aura to pressure Di Jun, unlike before when he oppressed hundreds of thousands of miles.

"Boom!"

Poor Di Jun, who had previously been controlling the Celestial Stars Formation, had unconsciously lost some Mana. Caught off guard, he was forced to retreat a step, relying on the River Map to block behind him, finally fully countering Xuan Dou’s oppression, his face then turned ashen.

"If you do not believe my words, feel free to continue slaughtering the Demon Race! However, I must remind you, Your Majesties, the Demon Emperors, to be careful of fire in your rear!" Xuan Dou coldly snorted.

"What?" Di Jun and Taiyi’s faces changed drastically, exchanging glances. They quickly began to make calculations, and in just a moment, they both spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. They no longer cared about Xuan Dou and the group of human, but instead said to Fu Xi, "Fellow Daoist, lead the troops back to the Heavenly Court swiftly, for there may be an upheaval there!"

Xuan Dou’s words were not baseless, years ago...

At Mount Buzhou, in the Ancestral Witch Hall.

"Reporting to the Ancestor Witches, we have now rescued tens of thousands of the Human Clan. However, the Human Clan tribes are too scattered, spread across the entire Primordial Continent! If we are to fully protect them, I fear our strength may be insufficient!" Xingtian kneeled on one knee in the Ancestral Witch Hall, reporting to the twelve Ancestor Witches.

"So many years have passed, and yet we’ve only gathered tens of thousands of humans! Including those within our Witch Tribe, it barely amounts to five million! Alas, it seems like the Human Clan is unable to escape this calamity!" Upon hearing this, Di Jiang let out a light sigh.

"Does this mean there’s no hope for the Human Clan?" Houtu sat collapsed on her grand seat with a look of desperate sorrow in her eyes that could move others to tears.

"Hey, Houtu sister! Don’t cry, you could ask your second brother to explore the long river of time, at the very least to prevent trouble before it arises!" Just then, Zhu Rong burst into the scene. The rest of the Ancestor Witches were very protective of this little sister!

"Right!" Sparkling with hope, Houtu turned to Zhu Jiuyin and said with expectancy, "Second brother, please help me look into it!"

Zhu Jiuyin had grown accustomed to living with the Human Clan and, to tell the truth, cared a great deal about their fate.

Upon Houtu’s request, Zhu Jiuyin nodded and said, "Very well, I shall venture to explore." With these words, a flash of his figure disappeared straight into the space of the Time River.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Images in the Time River flowed endlessly, like slides in a future era, constantly changing.

No matter how Heaven and Earth changed, the Time River seemed to flow ceaselessly. The only change was the rapidly passing scenes and the Golden Cloud on the Heavenly Vault, which evolved with Primordial Heaven and Earth.

This Golden Cloud, discovered by Zhu Jiuyin tens of thousands of years ago, appeared abruptly in the space of the Time River without a trace of warning, as if it was born along with the river. Whenever a major event occurred in Primordial Heaven and Earth, this Golden Cloud would sway uncertainly.

Just like now, the Golden Cloud split into three parts, the largest one at the very top of the space, beneath which were two smaller ones. From the left cluster, smaller pieces of clouds quietly drifted into the topmost cloud.

After looking at it for a long time without understanding, Zhu Jiuyin shook his head in confusion and swiftly moved above the stretch of the Time River spanning the last few decades.

"Beasts!" Zhu Jiuyin took one look and that glance was enough to ignite towering rage and an oppressively murderous intent in him!

He saw endless corpses of the Human Clan scattered across the Time River, with groups of wild beasts crazily gnawing on them at the edges. The boundless river of blood turned the Cangqiong into a blood-red color. With the blood thick enough to terrify and corpses piled up like mountains, the wreckage and blackened blood embedded in the ground were unspeakably horrifying!

Sparks flew from Zhu Jiuyin’s eyes, and his fierce expression seemed as if it could devour someone.

...

"Phew!" After an indeterminate amount of time, when Zhu Jiuyin emerged from the Time River, he was so furious that he spurted a mouthful of fresh blood into the sky and fainted.

The Ancestor Witches hurriedly helped Zhu Jiuyin up, and by the time Ju Mang revived him, the moonlight was high, and the stars shone like a waterfall.

Houtu looked at Zhu Jiuyin with concern and said, "Second Brother, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault for forcing you into the Time River!"

Zhu Jiuyin extended his hand and patted Houtu’s tender arm, saying, "It’s no big deal! It’s just a rush of anger causing a surge of counterflow blood."

"Second Brother, did you find any solution?" Di Jiang asked seriously.

"According to the scenes shown by the Time River, apart from Kunlun Mountain and the East Sea lineage, the Human Clan will inevitably be slaughtered, and the deaths will be extremely tragic!" Zhu Jiuyin spoke with a grim face, his words filled with desolation.

"Should the Human Clan just die like this!" Houtu completely collapsed, covering her face in tears.

"However..." it was at this moment that Zhu Jiuyin hesitantly spoke, "perhaps there is one method we can try!"

"What method?" All the Ancestor Witches turned their eyes towards Zhu Jiuyin in unison.

Zhu Jiuyin organized his words and said, "The Time River shows that the Demon Race, in order to swiftly exterminate the Human Clan, have sent down almost all of their forces to Primordial Heaven and Earth, including Bai Ze, Kunpeng, tens of thousands of Daluo Golden Immortals, and hundreds of millions of Little Demons. The current Heavenly Court can be said to be at its weakest in history! If we attack the Heavenly Court now, we might force Di Jun to return. But if we do, we will be directly confronting the Demon Race! The Witch Demon War will then erupt in full scale!"

The Ancestor Witches looked at each other in silence for a long while.

Di Jiang said, "Little Fire, Xiao Shui, Little Wind (Wind Ancestor Witch Tian Wu), Little Electric, the four of you lead over a million of the Earth Witches with your realms to attack the Heavenly Court’s stronghold! The rest, excluding Second Brother and Xiao Mu who will defend the villages, come out with me to rescue the Human Clan! Little Fire, we must force the Demon Race back to the Heavenly Court this time!"

All the Ancestor Witches nodded their heads in unison.

Thus, the matter was settled in such a simple manner.

Then, under the leadership of the ruffian Fire Ancestor Witch Zhu Rong, nearly a million of the Witch Tribe, with the help of the Heaven and Earth Taoist, completely concealed their identities, approaching South Heavenly Gate in stealth.

At this moment, South Heavenly Gate was completely different from before.

Di Jun and Taiyi had had their fill of the Witch Tribe’s destruction and had ensured that the gate was not only personally forged by Nuwa Saint, but was also heavily guarded by a formidable force, each of whom were at the Daluo Golden Immortal Middle Stage Cultivation. The weapons in their hands shone with a glittering cold light, clearly no ordinary items. (To be continued.
