As Xu Fang traveled to the Wuzhuang Guan on Longevity Mountain, the Demon Clan had already spread the news of killing the Eastern Prince, which immediately caused a sensation in the Primordial Era.
"What? The Eastern Prince? The leader of the male immortals was killed by the combined forces of the Demon Clan and the West?"
"Holy crap, when did this happen? Why was there no commotion?"
"Wasn't the leader of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor? He died so anticlimactically!"
All beings in the Primordial Era chattered and were shocked.
How could the Eastern Prince, appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the leader of the male immortals and known for his orthodox lineage in the Primordial Era, die so easily without any prior signs?
However, everyone soon understood.
After all, it was a joint effort by the Demon Clan and the West. How could the Eastern Prince resist?
Moreover, most importantly, the Demon Clan had also gained the recognition of Heaven's Dao and possessed the orthodox lineage of the Primordial Era.
Coupled with the assistance of the two Sages from the West.
Under such circumstances, the Eastern Prince's so-called orthodoxy was simply insufficient. His demise at the hands of the combined forces of the Demon Clan and the West was only natural.
This made all beings in the Primordial Era even more terrified and uneasy.
"If that's the case, with the Demon Clan possessing the orthodox lineage of the Primordial Era and the support of the West, wouldn't conquering the world be effortless?"
"Yes, counting the leader of the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan has three Sages holding the fort. How can we resist?"
"Currently, only the Witch and Demon Clans remain as the orthodox lineage of the Primordial Era. The Demon Clan will definitely not stop there. The Primordial Era will be in turmoil again!"
All beings in the Primordial Era were shocked to realize that the Demon Clan now had one Sage and two future Sages on their side.
After they killed the Eastern Prince, the Immortal Court was leaderless and no longer a threat. They would inevitably move against the remaining Witch Clan.
In this way, the Primordial Era would once again be fraught with impending danger, plunging into an era of unparalleled chaos!
For a time, all beings in the Primordial Era were in a state of panic, forced to consider how to preserve their lives amidst the flames of the Witch-Demon war.
As the beings in the Primordial Era had predicted, the conflict between the Witches and Demons soon erupted, igniting the fires of war across the Primordial Era, with battles large and small occurring constantly.
The Witch Clan, fearing the Demon Clan's three Sages, could only defend defensively and dared not fight with all their might, to prevent the war from escalating and the three Sages from intervening on behalf of the Demon Clan.
On the other hand, the Demon Clan, with their morale boosted after killing the Eastern Prince, advanced triumphantly. They were unrivaled in the Primordial Era, severely suppressing the Witch Clan.
This was exactly what Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi had hoped for. Currently, in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, they were beaming with joy as they listened to the constant reports of victory from the Demon Clan's scouts.
"Haha! The Witch Clan truly fears those three existences and dares not contend with us. This is truly excellent!"
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the victory reports and burst into laughter.
"Indeed, the Witch Clan is hesitant and dare not go all out. This is an opportunity for our Demon Clan to seize territory."
Di Jun nodded. Although Nuwa had made it clear that she would not intervene, only Fu Xi, Nuwa, and the two brothers knew this. The Witch Clan was naturally unaware of it.
Furthermore, the news of the Demon Clan's alliance with the West had been spread, producing a significant effect, making the Witch Clan and even all beings in the Primordial Era believe that the two future Sages from the West were also on their side.
Under these circumstances, the Witch Clan became even more hesitant to act rashly, which was a boon to the Demon Clan, allowing them to expand their territory during this period.
Of course, even though the Demon Clan was advancing steadily, Di Jun remained cautious and prudent, saying:
"The two from the West left in anger last time, and their attitude was not good. We are using their reputation to our advantage now, which might make them even more displeased!"
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand dismissively.
"Elder Brother, you worry too much. As Kunpeng said, as long as we publicize the news of killing the Eastern Prince, the two from the West will have no way to explain themselves and will fear Xu Fang, eventually having no choice but to ally with us."
Speaking of which, Donghuang Taiyi patted Kunpeng's shoulder beside him and praised him.
"Kunpeng truly lives up to his reputation as the Demon Master of our Demon Clan. You have made a great contribution this time!"
Kunpeng was flattered and quickly cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"It is Kunpeng's duty to plan for the Demon Clan. Your Majesty Donghuang is too generous!"
While speaking these humble words, Kunpeng looked proudly at the assembled Demon Sages and generals, especially Bai Ze, who was known as the Demon Clan's number one strategist, whom Kunpeng deliberately paid attention to, his desire to show off being evident.
Bai Ze was indignant. He had always been the number one strategist of the Demon Clan, highly valued by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, enjoying immense prestige. This Kunpeng, a mere opportunist who joined the Demon Clan halfway, had the audacity to mock him?
Therefore, Bai Ze quickly stepped forward, bowed to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, and said:
"The plan of Demon Master Kunpeng is indeed ingenious. However, the attitude of the West is currently unclear. We should still confirm it to ensure absolute certainty."
After saying this, Bai Ze straightened his back and declared loudly:
"Therefore, we should now travel to the West to verify the West's attitude. I, though untalented..."
"Since you know you are untalented, why don't you withdraw?"
Kunpeng directly interrupted Bai Ze. Disregarding Bai Ze's astonishment, he turned to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi and said:
"Kunpeng is willing to travel to the West to ascertain their attitude!"
This was his own master plan. Kunpeng wanted to use this great achievement to solidify his position as the Demon Master. How could he let the old man Bai Ze steal his credit?
"Kunpeng, you..."
Bai Ze was furious. Did this Kunpeng really leave no opportunity for others? Did he like to hoard credit so much?
The other Demon Sages and generals were also quite displeased. Since Kunpeng joined the Demon Clan, he had been favored by the two Majesties, while they had become increasingly marginalized. At this moment, their gazes towards Kunpeng were filled with increasing resentment.
However, Kunpeng remained indifferent, gazing intently at Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi observed the expressions of the Demon Clan members. They exchanged glances, and Di Jun soon said:
"Since the Demon Master is so eager, we shall grant your request. Take some treasures and go to the West to ascertain the attitude of those two."
"Kunpeng obeys the order!"
Kunpeng happily accepted and turned back to glance triumphantly at the Demon Sages and generals behind him.
These fellows had only joined the Demon Clan earlier than him, and they were no match for him.
Once he secured his position as the Demon Master, he would be the foremost figure in the Demon Clan beneath Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. These fellows were just juniors!
Little did Kunpeng know that his eagerness for merit and rash actions had already incurred the dissatisfaction of the assembled Demon Sages and generals. Although he appeared to be in high spirits now, he was in fact facing a dire situation within the Demon Clan, surrounded by enemies.
