Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, main hall.

Demon Sovereign Donghuang Taiyi was discussing matters about 'Yuanchu Yaosheng,' and the recent events that had occurred in the old era Demon Race with Demon Emperor Di Jun.

Clearly, Donghuang Taiyi intended to hand over complete control of the Demon Race to Di Jun.

Di Jun did not refuse and listened quietly.

Only after Donghuang Taiyi had finished talking did Di Jun nod slightly to indicate he understood.

"The Demon Master... knows to run; how clever. If he hadn't run, today would have been his day of death,"

There was a flicker of murderous intent in Di Jun's eyes as he spoke.

He was not speaking idly.

If the Demon Master really had dared to stay here, until his return to power,

he would be the first to take action against the Demon Master.

"Brother, I think it's better for you to personally execute him. That's why I didn't use all my strength to chase him when he ran,"

Donghuang Taiyi spoke up to explain.

"Hmm, it's fine for me to handle it personally. Taiyi, you did the right thing there,"

Di Jun said to Donghuang Taiyi, expressing his satisfaction.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded slightly, without saying much.

"Also, regarding this Yuanchu Yaosheng, normally he wouldn't be qualified to become a Demon Saint, but given these extraordinary times, Yuanchu Yaosheng was made an exception and established as a Demon Saint."

"However, as Yuanchu Yaosheng is newly promoted, I fear his foundation may not be strong enough. We should take the opportunity to assist him and enhance his authority to prevent our Demon Race's prestige from being undermined due to Yuanchu Yaosheng!"

Di Jun said softly.

There was a look of approval in his eyes as he spoke.

It was evident he was quite satisfied with 'Yuanchu Yaosheng.'

"Very well, brother,"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded.

"Hmm, from now on, let me take care of the affairs of the Demon Race. These days have indeed been worrisome for you, Taiyi,"

Di Jun rose up from his seat, his gaze fixing beyond the hall doors as he slowly started speaking.

"All right, but brother, how do you plan to handle the upcoming matters of the Demon Race? The overt power of today's Demon Race is split half under Ji Meng and half under Yuan Chu, and the covert power stakes are even more complicated,"

Donghuang Taiyi stood behind Di Jun and spoke.

"Hmm, rest assured, I will deal with these matters. They want to compete with me? They still have much to learn,"

Di Jun seemed to perceive instantly the lack of unity among the old-era Demon Race even though they were many.

He was not the slightest bit panicked.

He had once personally ruled over the Demon Race, even nearly leading them to become the dominant force of the world as a Demon Emperor.

Moreover...

The title of Demon Emperor was only added later.

Previously, people preferred to call him Heavenly Emperor!

His maneuvers were anything but simple!

"Then I'll leave it in your hands, brother! However, please take good care of Yuanchu Yaosheng for me; I have high hopes for him,"

Donghuang Taiyi slightly bowed to Di Jun.

"Hmm, don't worry, this is the first time I've seen you hold such high regard for someone,"

Di Jun revealed a hint of a smile.

It was just an offhand remark.

He was very confident in Donghuang Taiyi.

In this world, anyone might betray him.

The only exception was Donghuang Taiyi.

He and Donghuang Taiyi shared the same origin and had accompanied each other through countless Yuanhui, built on absolute trust.

"I believe Yuan Chu can become our left and right hand in the future,"

Donghuang Taiyi stated resolutely.

"Good! I will take extra care of this Yuan Chu; you have my word, Taiyi,"

Di Jun said with a light smile, hands clasped behind his back.

"Thank you, brother. However, how should we deal with the matters of this new era?"

Upon mentioning this, Donghuang Taiyi's pupils involuntarily constricted.

The new era was indeed too powerful.

That strike from before.

Even he, without the Donghuang Bell in hand, was not confident in withstanding it.

Given the terror of the new era, they currently stood no chance against it.

"No rush, the one who took action in the sea territory before has definitely reached the level of the Heavenly Dao. In this regard, our Heavenly Dao Assembly will handle it. I believe they can't just act recklessly. We only need to take care of our affairs, and the rest need not concern us. If our Heavenly Dao can't handle it well, it can't be blamed on us."

Di Jun shook his head, his eyes free of worry.

He didn't know why that strike had targeted him this time.

But he believed that the person who had acted definitely couldn't attack at will.

Otherwise, what would become of their affairs?

If it were so, why wouldn't that person have directly attacked, striking down upon the Tianjian Continent?

"Hmm... as long as that person cannot take action, those people of the new era are simply not our opponents."

Donghuang Taiyi nodded slightly.

In his view,

as long as the two of them joined forces, there would be no one from the new era who could rival them.

"Alright, Taiyi, I need to heal my injuries as soon as possible. Let's catch up later."

Di Jun felt his injuries becoming unstable again and realized that he needed to tend to them.

"Go ahead, brother,"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said.

Upon hearing this,

Di Jun immediately left to go into seclusion and heal.

Standing there, Donghuang Taiyi watched Di Jun's departing figure.

After watching for quite a while,

Donghuang Taiyi shifted his gaze.

He looked in the direction of a side hall of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.

That side hall was where Chu Yuan resided.

Donghuang Taiyi pondered for a moment.

Then he got up and headed towards the side hall where Chu Yuan was staying.

He wanted to go see Chu Yuan.

…

The side hall wasn't far away, and for Donghuang Taiyi, he arrived in an instant.

Donghuang Taiyi arrived at the side hall.

The Demon Generals there didn't dare to stop Donghuang Taiyi and let him pass one after another.

It wasn't until Donghuang Taiyi reached the great door of the side hall that he was stopped.

Those were members of the Dragon Clan, promoted by the Dragon Clan Chief to guard the doors of Chu Yuan's hall.

They belonged to the main branch of the Dragon Clan.

Naturally, they revered Chu Yuan.

Apart from Chu Yuan, they revered no one else.

"Please halt, Demon Emperor,"

A few members of the Dragon Clan stopped Donghuang Taiyi.

"You dare to stop me?"

A glint of gold flashed through Donghuang Taiyi's eyes as he sternly rebuked.

"Sorry, Demon Emperor, if you wish to enter, please allow us to inform the Demon Saint first,"

One of the Dragon Clan Chiefs spoke with a trembling voice, but still stepped forward.

"You dare to block me?"

The tone of Donghuang Taiyi grew heavier.

The few members of the Dragon Clan hesitated but chose to stand their ground and block the way.

The situation remained at a stalemate for a while.

The atmosphere was exceedingly tense.

After a moment,

Donghuang Taiyi casually waved his hand, and his aura dissipated.

A look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He highly regarded these subordinates of Yuanchu Yaosheng.

Unafraid of authority.

Very good.

From these subordinates, one could see.

That Yuanchu Yaosheng's abilities were also extraordinary, to be able to cultivate such followers…
