As the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's words fell, they sparked curiosity among the assembled beings, their gazes turning towards Donghuang Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi recalled the unpleasant experiences he had endured, and he was truly unsure, his face showing a look of distress, not knowing how to respond.
Donghuang Taiyi glared at the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle with resentment. This remnant of the Phoenix clan had been too arrogant earlier, leading the Phoenix clan members against the demon race, and now he was putting him in a difficult position in front of everyone. This was truly hateful!
After he shattered Xu Fang, he would definitely tear this guy's wings to shreds and make a pair of braised chicken wings!
However, Donghuang Taiyi's gaze did not make the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle cower. Instead, he burst into laughter.
"Haha! Donghuang Taiyi, what's the use of you glaring at me?"
"You just don't dare to say it, you have no confidence. Even with victory assured, you are still uncertain. You are just a demon race without confidence, so stop pretending!"
"If the leader of your demon race is like this, what about the entire demon race, hehe!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's words not only mocked Donghuang Taiyi but also insulted the entire demon race.
It wasn't that the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle was courting death, but rather that the situation was critical. Seeing Senior Xu Fang discussing matters with a group of seniors, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle felt he couldn't help and could only do something small to divert attention.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's mockery was indeed effective, and it quickly attracted the attention of all the demons.
The demons felt that the momentum was on their side, and they couldn't stand the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's provocations. They immediately began to speak.
"This is the Second Prince of the Phoenix clan, is it? It seems he is indeed of noble birth and extraordinary. But I wonder if his wings are as hard as his words?"
"You're still tough-mouthed when death is imminent. It might not be very tasty, but since you're courting death, we don't mind fulfilling your wish!"
"Your Majesties, please give the order immediately to kill this fellow first!"
The demons were filled with righteous indignation and hated the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle to the core, wishing they could kill him and then be done with it. They all pleaded to be sent into battle.
However, unlike the demons' shared hatred, the hesitant observers among the great powers were conversing in a different tone.
"This big bird is courting death, but what he said isn't wrong, is it?"
"Yes, he's so powerful? He doesn't even dare to say a word, hehe!"
"Oh dear, don't say that. Be careful he doesn't crush you with a chaotic void!"
The great powers conversed in hushed tones, but their whispers were not so discreet. Even though they appeared to be afraid of being overheard, their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, and could be heard by Donghuang Taiyi.
They were already quite displeased that Donghuang Taiyi had stopped them from leaving. Now that they had an opportunity to mock him, of course, they wouldn't miss it.
Hearing the words that reached his ears, Donghuang Taiyi's expression became even more somber and extremely displeased.
Seeing this, Di Jun immediately stepped forward and rebuked them loudly.
"Enough! You all cease your nonsensical talk. If you dare to say another word, you will be considered allies of Xu Fang and will be executed without mercy!"
Di Jun's words caused the gazes of the demons to shift from the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle to the group of great powers. It was as if they would attack if Di Jun spoke again.
Seeing this, the great powers all fell silent.
Mocking might feel good for a moment, but it leads to a funeral later. It's better not to go too far.
Seeing that he had silenced the great powers, Di Jun looked back at Donghuang Taiyi and spoke softly.
"Taiyi, pay them no mind. The momentum is currently with our demon race. As long as we kill Xu Fang, we will be able to..."
Di Jun tried to comfort Donghuang Taiyi, but before he could finish, Donghuang Taiyi strode forward, surpassing him.
"It's just saying that one sentence! Do you all think I, Donghuang Taiyi, am afraid?"
Donghuang Taiyi scanned the group of great powers, then glared fiercely at the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle. He then raised his finger, pointed at Xu Fang, and shouted loudly.
"Xu Fang, why don't you surrender? Are you waiting for our demon race to trample Penglai, leaving you with no whole corpse?"
"No way, no way, you still have this idea? Do you really think anyone will save you at this moment?"
Donghuang Taiyi roared sternly. It was just a matter of saying one sentence!
Now that Penglai Immortal Island was surrounded by the demon race, even if his inexplicably manifested words were to attract another force, so what?
He, Donghuang Taiyi, truly didn't believe that anyone could save Xu Fang under these circumstances!
And if he really backed down and remained silent due to worries, even if he won this battle, it would affect his reputation if it spread. It would be better to just speak decisively!
After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, he felt a sense of relief, and the accumulated gloom vanished.
The beings present were stunned for a moment upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words. They didn't expect Donghuang Taiyi to truly overcome his psychological shadow and say these words.
In that case, wouldn't that mean...
Their gazes immediately swept around, but everything in the East Sea was as usual, as if nothing had changed because of Donghuang Taiyi's words.
Everyone was deeply disappointed. Had Donghuang Taiyi's words failed?
Seeing this situation, Di Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, hearing Donghuang Taiyi speak, he was truly afraid that he would attract another force.
Although he felt that with the current forces of the demon race, they could handle it.
However, constantly doing these things repeatedly was very demoralizing.
Moreover, and most importantly, it would truly leave his foolish brother with psychological trauma or something similar.
Fortunately, now that Donghuang Taiyi had spoken, nothing had happened, and peace prevailed.
Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi also let out a long sigh of relief.
It seemed he had escaped that inexplicable manifestation of speech. It had almost driven him crazy, but thankfully, it was over.
"Haha! How about that? So what if I said it?"
Donghuang Taiyi looked smugly at Xu Fang and couldn't help but mock him again.
"Let me tell you, Xu Fang, you are dead today in this East Sea. I will have this Penglai Immortal Island, and what I, Donghuang Taiyi, say, no one can stop!"
Xu Fang was speechless. What was there to boast about? It was just a coincidence before.
Now that the demon race had surrounded them with countless layers, no one should come to help him, which was truly unfortunate.
However, as Donghuang Taiyi's words fell, they were quickly met with countless responses.
"Demon race? Ptooey! As soon as they show up, we encounter such unlucky things. It's truly disgusting!"
"Why are you acting like this? Aren't we here to deal with the demon race this time? Hurry up and kill them!"
"Haha! That's right. I heard that Xu Fang is the benefactor who helped our Wu clan retrieve the sacred artifact! The demon race is too arrogant. It's truly time for us to repay the favor!"
As these voices echoed, countless dense figures reappeared on the surface of the East Sea, surging towards this place like a tide!
