Chapter 847: 648 Revive Di Jun Taiyi?_2

Moreover, benevolent demons are not considered demon fiends; they are Demon Immortals.

"Emperor Lord is right. Demon fiends definitely do not perform good deeds. Those who do are Demon Immortals, exalted individuals of the Mystic Sect, not demon fiends."

Although they were unclear about Jiang Chen’s motives, the three demons had no choice but to explain themselves to prevent Jiang Chen from thinking they were negligent in their duties.

What the three demons meant to convey to Jiang Chen was, "You asked us to capture demon fiends, but you didn’t tell us to capture Demon Immortals."

"How can one equate demons with immortals? ’Demon Immortal’ is truly a baseless term. Who came up with such a notion?"

Jiang Chen’s attitude changed immediately; he outright dismissed the notion of Demon Immortals, stating that the Immortal Dao has no such branch.

"This..."

The three demons stood there dumbfounded, not expecting Jiang Chen to be so bold as to take action against the lineage of Demon Immortals.

Given Jiang Chen’s cultivation level, how could he possibly have never heard of Demon Immortals? Yet now he was flatly denying their existence, asserting that the Immortal Dao had no such branch. The implications were crystal clear; he was fundamentally denying the existence of Demon Immortals, branding them as demon fiends. This allowed him to justifiably strike against them.

"Emperor Lord, calm your anger. The term ’Demon Immortal’ emerged after ancient times as a sudden widespread saying. We too are unaware of who started it, but the Mystic Sect has not denied this title," the three demons said, attempting to downplay the issue. They could not afford to offend the lineage of Demon Immortals, and they dared not provoke Jiang Chen either, so they spoke vaguely, trying to skirt around the crux of the matter.

After looking at the three demons, Jiang Chen said nothing. Since he dared to challenge the Demon Immortals, he naturally had his reasons. During the Ancient Era, the lineage of Demon Immortals indeed was a branch of the Mystic Sect. But now, it was no longer the case; it had become a heretical path.

The first of the Demon Immortals were Di Jun and Taiyi. These two, originating from Immortal Dao and having created the Demon Clan, were undoubtedly the ancestors of the Demon Immortals and the forefathers of Ancient Heavenly Court.

In the Ancient Era, to say that the Demon Immortals were the orthodox lineage of the Mystic Sect would not have been an exaggeration. But after the Ancient Era, due to the great war between shamans and demons, the Chaos World was shattered. As key culprits of this catastrophe, the Demon Clan committed the grave sin of destroying heaven and earth and thus lost any right to the title ’immortal’; they were fiends, demon fiends.

From then on, the lineage of Demon Immortals was completely annihilated!

After the Ancient Era, there were no more Demon Immortals in the world. Now that the name ’Demon Immortal’ had re-emerged in Dongsheng Divine Continent, Jiang Chen had ample reason to suspect they were scheming something nefarious.

Yes, scheming something nefarious.

This was about exploiting the name of Demon Immortals to gather the Fate of Demon Immortals in order to resurrect the major culprits of the ancient destruction of the Chaos World, Di Jun Taiyi!

Di Jun Taiyi were the ancestors of Demon Immortals. If the Fate of Demon Immortals were to gather again, the two of them would benefit most. As Daluo Jinxians of the Primordial Chaos, they were indestructible and might indeed return by harnessing this Fate.

"Eh, that’s not right!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen realized something was amiss; he had only intended to find a pretext to deal with the lineage of Demon Immortals.

But the more he thought about it, the more it seemed off. It couldn’t be that these Demon Immortals were actually planning to do just that.

It is well-known that the current group of Demon Immortals consists mainly of the renegades of the past Demon Clan. These renegade demons might be labeled as such, but in reality, they served as spies for the Demon Clan in the outside world.

To suggest that they were preparing to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi wasn’t surprising at all; in fact, it was quite normal, as resurrecting Di Jun Taiyi was the dream of all the Demon Clan.

Considering the predicament of the Demon Clan in the Prehistoric World, unless Di Jun Taiyi were resurrected, not only reclaiming their former glory would be out of the question, but even maintaining their current livelihood would be extremely difficult.

Many forces lurked in the shadows, striking at the Demon Clan in various ways, worsening their situation.

The enemies of the Demon Clan include, but are not limited to, the Human Race.

"There’s no doubt that Di Jun Taiyi are the ancestors of the Demon Immortals. And there’s no question that the so-called Demon Immortals in Dongsheng Divine Continent are descended from them,"

"Hence, their activities across Dongsheng Divine Continent under the banner of Demon Immortals, gathering Fate of Demon Immortals, appear highly suspicious."

"When you add up all these factors, calling it a coincidence is utterly impossible. It’s hard not to be suspicious."

Jiang Chen looked up and once again cast the technique of Aura Vision, turning his gaze towards the fate of the Dongsheng Divine Continent.

Last time, he had not paid attention and merely glanced at the aura of the demons before retracting his gaze. This time, Jiang Chen specifically focused on the aura of the Demon Immortals, and indeed, he found distinctions.

In many places of the Dongsheng Divine Continent, wisps of purplish-blue fate rose. These strands of fate were extremely dispersed and did not converge, making them difficult to notice unless one observed deliberately.

And these purplish-blue strands of fate were precisely the aura of the Demon Immortals.

Purplish-blue is the color of emperors, and in the ancient era, Di Jun was the Emperor, and Taiyi was the Sovereign. Both of them were Demon Immortals, which caused the fate of the Demon Immortals to appear noble, manifesting in a purplish-blue color.

"So much Demon Immortal fate, if gathered together, is not to be underestimated. This group of fiends, flying the flag of Demon Immortals, indeed have impure thoughts, secretly harboring grand schemes and malevolent intentions."

Seeing the fate of the Demon Immortals, Jiang Chen now was fifty percent certain that this group was reassembling the aura of Demon Immortals, attempting to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi through this method.

The reason it was fifty percent and not one hundred is that Jiang Chen still harbored a significant doubt. That is, if he could see through these matters, it made no sense that the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect couldn’t see through them as well!

After all, what the Dongsheng Divine Continent lacks the least are the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, with countless experts in seclusion here.

These Demon Immortals stirring up trouble in the Dongsheng Divine Continent meant that they were essentially doing so right under the noses of the Great Divine Transcendents. Therefore, if they really were preparing to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi, they simply couldn’t hide it from the perception of these Transcendents.

So, the problem arises: if the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents have seen the schemes of these Demon Immortals, why haven’t they acted to stop them?

Or could it be that I am wrong, and those Demon Immortals have no intention to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi?

Thinking thus, Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and instructed the Three Demons, "Gather all the deeds of the well-known Demon Immortals of the Dongsheng Divine Continent for me. I want to see what exactly this group of Demon Immortals have done to earn the title of ’Immortal’."

"As you command, Emperor Lord," responded the Three Demons, immediately understanding Jiang Chen’s meaning and taking their leave from the place.

With Jiang Chen’s power, if he wanted to know these things, a thought was all that was needed to calculate everything. There was no need to have others collect them. His purpose in saying so was merely to send the Three Demons away.

The Three Demons understood Jiang Chen’s intent and directly left.

And after the Three Demons left, Jiang Chen immediately exercised his Divine Ability to connect with the Heavenly Dao and deduce the actions of those Demon Immortals.

"Tsk tsk, how interesting!"

"Some protect a region, ensuring its safety. Some establish sects and enlighten the world’s people. Some live reclusively in the mountains, unconcerned with worldly affairs..."

"Each one of them acts like a great philanthropist. If I didn’t know their origins, I would truly believe they had turned over a new leaf."

In Jiang Chen’s deductions, the behavior of these Demon Immortals couldn’t be faulted. Everyone was a great philanthropist, constantly doing good deeds, frequently accumulating merit. If one overlooked their traitorous identity as part of the Demon Clan, anyone would think there were no issues with them.

It was precisely because of their outstanding performance that they were not only devoid of demonic energy but were also enveloped in the distinctive pure aura of the Immortal Dao. Each of them was a true Immortal, surrounded by the aura of the mysterious yellow earth, with immensely profound fate—exceedingly extraordinary at first glance.

"The deeper the concealment, the greater the conspiracy. I’m becoming more and more suspicious of their motives,"

Not paying attention to these Demon Immortals’ performance was one thing, but after seeing it, Jiang Chen’s doubts deepened. What was previously fifty percent suspicion had now grown to eighty.

The remaining twenty percent of uncertainty was still due to the attitude of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect—it was just too bizarre.

Jiang Chen didn’t believe they couldn’t see through it.

But having seen through it, why didn’t they intervene?

Could it really be that they are prepared to idly watch the resurrection of Di Jun Taiyi?
