Chapter 465: Chapter 8 Demon Race Trends (Part 2)

After Shun arrived in Jizhou, Emperor Yao specially granted him courtyards, livestock, and land. He also told him that any difficulties could be brought up with him.

Who knew that Shun did not make any personal requests, but instead told Emperor Yao that he wanted the guards to bring his father, stepmother, and brother to Jizhou to live with him.

Hearing this, Emperor Yao couldn’t help but see Shun in a new light and believed the rumors to be true.

It turned out that after hearing the name of Shun, Emperor Yao went to inquire about Shun’s life story, among which the most famous was Shun’s background and living environment:

It was rumored that Shun lived in a family environment "with a stubborn father, a noisy mother, and an arrogant brother".

His father, Gu Sou, was blind but sinister at heart; his stepmother was duplicitous and made things difficult for Shun at every turn; his brother was unruly and never respected Shun as an elder brother.

The few of them colluded together, wanting to put Shun to death and rejoice afterwards.

But Shun, never failing in his filial duties, was extremely obedient; he was very friendly with his brother, consistently so over the years without any negligence. When his family members tried to harm him, he timely escaped; and when things got better, he immediately returned to their side, offering as much help as possible.

Such a tragic life and harsh environment Shun had, yet he still managed to live harmoniously with his family and fulfill his filial and brotherly duties. Truly, he was a man of great talent.

Having such a virtuous and capable person succeed as the Sovereign, Emperor Yao was naturally overjoyed. A few years later, Emperor Yao held a ceremony to worship Heaven and passed the position of Sovereign to Shun.

And just as Shun took over the position of Sovereign, the Demon Race in the West Sea Domain finally began to stir.

Little Beiming, Sun Palace.

Where the grand hall was once empty, it was now crowded, filled with a throng of Demons.

Taiyi, dressed in a bright yellow robe, sat solemnly before the grand hall, and said, "Since the Witch Demon War, our Demon Race has been lurking in the lands of Fangzhang and Ying Platform, barely surviving. The Human Clan, whom we once saw as mere ants, have now become the masters of Huaxia Land. Ironic, it is indeed a huge irony!"

"Roar, damn the Witch Tribe, damn the ants!"

"It’s all their fault; what right do these humans have to be the protagonists of Heaven and Earth!"

"Yes, kill, kill! Exterminate all Humans and Witches!"

All the Demons started roaring fiercely, their eyes blood-red, with overwhelming Demon Qi wildly bursting into the sky.

"Enough!" Taiyi raised his hands to calm them down, saying, "After so many years of cultivating our temperament, how can you still be so impatient?"

Among the Ten Great Demon Saints, the only remaining Feilian suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, our Demon Race once nearly annihilated the Human Clan and was already in an immortal and indestructible situation! Now although the Humans have become the masters of Huaxia Heaven and Earth, if there is a chance, Feilian is willing to die to completely exterminate the Human Clan!"

All the Demons knelt down simultaneously, shouting loudly: "We too swear to follow Lord Taiyi’s commands!"

"Hahaha, good! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for!" Taiyi suddenly stood up, laughing heartily: "Our chance has arrived! Now, as the Five Emperors transition occurs within the Human Clan, all the Huaxia Cultivators have either gone into hiding or disappeared. All Saints basically couldn’t care less about these five Human Clan’s Shared Rulers! We just need to seize the opportunity and we can wipe out the Human Clan right under the All Saints’ noses, and then, our Demon Race might have the chance to return to Huaxia!"

Poor Taiyi did not know that the All Saints were not neglecting the Five Emperors, but were instead focusing all their energy on the Path to Heaven that will occur in five hundred years.

Haven’t you seen that all the disciples of the Saints have left the Taoist sanctuary to travel among the Human Clan? Picking a quarrel with the Human Clan at this moment, even if All Saints truly can’t be bothered with you, Li Qingming would not allow you to succeed.

...

In the subsequent time, Taiyi and the entire Demon Race meticulously discussed the details before summoning Kunpeng, Feilian, Kun Meng... and over ten famous demons of yore, all heading to Nuwa Palace together.

In the empty Nuwa Palace, Nuwa herself, utterly bored, was picking flower petals from a table when suddenly her brows furrowed, and she softly said, "Little Feng’er, go out of the palace to receive Taiyi and the others!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dressed in a pale pink silk skirt, Feng’er bowed respectfully with lowered eyes and turned to walk outside the palace.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, when Feng’er led Taiyi and the other ten-plus famous demons inside, Nuwa had already changed into another outfit.

She was draped in Cui Shui Meng Silk, wore a Smoke and Cloud Crown on her head, and had a bright red flame marked between her pale eyebrows. Her beautiful face exuded a chilling majesty.

"Taiyi (Kunpeng...) pays respects to Lady Nuwa, may the Holy Mother enjoy boundless longevity!" Upon seeing Nuwa, Taiyi and the others bowed in unison.

"You may dispense with the formalities!" With a gentle wave of her bare hand, Nuwa’s beautiful eyes showed no flicker of emotion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Why have you left the tranquil retreats of Fangzhang and Ying Platform to come to my Nuwa Palace?" Nuwa gave Taiyi a glance, sensing something unusual about his visit,

Taiyi smiled and said, "We have come concerning matters of the Human Clan in the Lower Realm!"

"Human Clan?" Nuwa slightly opened her red lips and said, "What is it? Speak!"

To tell the truth, Nuwa really had some reservations about them. If not for Di Jun and Taiyi’s request back then, she would not have tacitly agreed to the Demon Race slaughtering the Human Clan. This not only undermined her authority among the Human Clan but even offended Li Qingming because of it.

It seems that every time she sees these people, there is never any good news.

Seeing Nuwa’s impatience, Taiyi dared not delay further and hurriedly came forward to say, "Your Majesty, please see clearly! Since the Witch Demon War, my Demon Race has been living quietly, but we also have our people in Huaxia Land. Nowadays, Human Clan practitioners are scattered throughout Huaxia Land. In pursuit of a faster cultivation and breakthroughs in strength, they kill our people and seize our inner cores. Any Demon Race cultivator with some practice in Huaxia Land has been slain. If this continues, our Demon Race will soon have no fresh blood to sustain, and extinction looms near!"

Taiyi spoke these words with great difficulty, not only weeping bitterly but even deliberately making his voice hoarse and deep. It could be considered heart-wrenchingly sorrowful to the listeners.

Nuwa frowned slightly, knew while Taiyi was exaggerating, there was some truth in his words. Thus, she softly asked, "What do you intend to do?"

"I wish to stir up a calamity, to teach the Human Clan a lesson, seeking merely a refuge for our people!" Taiyi, wiping his reddened eyes, said with a choked voice.

Hearing this, Nuwa was quite reluctant, silently calculated for a moment, and found that indeed, Heavenly Dao had set this as a trial for the Human Clan.

Thus, with no other choice, Nuwa said, "Fine, I shall give you one chance! But remember, you must not recklessly kill, otherwise, not even I can save you!"

Taiyi nodded, leading the Demon Crowd down to Huaxia Land.

At that moment, Taiyi was ecstatic and did not take Nuwa’s later words to heart. In his mind, once the Demon Race made its move, how could Nuwa, the Demon Saint, not aid her own kind? After all, Nuwa is also the Demon Saint.

But Taiyi forgot this time, Nuwa is not just the Demon Saint, she is also the Saint of the Human Clan, the Holy Mother of Humanity!(To be continued.
