Chapter 416 The Light of Righteousness!

　　“What the Heavenly Courts are afraid of is that the demons still have extraordinary strength. Your Highness, you must not join forces with the Western Sect’s spiritual mountain.”

　　In the spacious hall, on the throne on the platform, Daoist Lu Ya, who had transformed into an old Daoist priest, supported his forehead with one hand. The warning that Bai Ze had given him that day echoed in his heart, and he felt inexplicably irritated.

　　At the side of the platform, more than ten old demons were sitting quietly. At that moment, most of them were shocked and excited because they heard the old Daoist priest in tattered clothes speaking calmly below the platform…

　　“…Your Highness, you only need to send a small number of troops to suppress the Magi of the North Continent. You can make the Heavenly Courts lose their composure.”

　　“Now that the Heavenly Courts wanted to take over the Netherworld, they would definitely not turn a blind eye to the Magi of the North Continent. At that time, as long as the army rushed over from behind and surrounded the battle, they would be able to hurt the Heavenly Courts.”

　　“I also know that His Highness the Crown Prince does not want to start a full-scale war with the Heavenly Courts. He is just waiting for such an opportunity to let the Heavenly Courts know of the difficulties and negotiate with His Highness the Crown Prince. I did not come today to let His Highness the Crown Prince completely declare war with the Heavenly Courts.” “The Heavenly Courts should prosper since they have supported the Heavenly Dao. Previously, there were mediocre people in the Western Sect who tried to suppress the Heavenly Courts. They were wrong. They also caused the Heavenly Courts to criticize the Western Sect. This is not what the two teachers meant. Everyone in the Primordial World knows that the Western Sect is poor and has bad luck. I also want the Western Sect to occupy some Deity Positions in the Heavenly Courts and increase the luck of my spiritual mountain. That’s all. I don’t have any requests.” The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes paused and looked up at Daoist Lu Ya, who was sitting on the throne. There was a faint smile on his thin face, giving him a friendly and approachable vibe. “I also know that the Crown Prince might have some reservations and is unwilling to join hands with my spiritual mountain.”

　　As he spoke, the old Daoist priest took out a bag from his sleeve and pushed it towards the platform with his immortal power. When the bag flew forward, it opened on its own. Golden light flickered inside, and a vast heavenly might rippled out from the hall, revealing the huge seal inside. Demon God Seal!

　　Lu Ya and the dozen old demons suddenly stood up. The old demons tried their best to suppress their urge to reach out and let the huge seal land in Daoist Lu Ya’s outstretched right hand. The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes smiled and said, “Previously, Junior Brother Ksitigarbha promised the demons something. This time, I brought it over for you. Junior Brother Ksitigarbha was inferior to the Water God in one move. He had caused heavy casualties to the demons and had been reprimanded by his teacher. The Heavenly Courts’ Water God is difficult to deal with… Your Highness, do you really think that the Water God will spare your life because you took the initiative to negotiate? Don’t forget how ferocious his methods were during the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain. He is different from both of us. He was a human and had been born after the ancient times. He hates demons to begin with. Everyone, please consider carefully. I will not force you to join forces with me. I just feel that although the human race is the main character in this world, they should leave some spaces for the living beings from the ancient times to survive. Everyone, do you think that’s right?” The hall fell silent.

　　Near the hall door, Daoist Wen Jing hugged her arms and leaned against the stone pillar. The silver-haired girl beside her held a sword and lowered her head silently. There was a smile on Wen Jing’s lips, but she could not help but mutter in her heart… I wonder if the aura I deliberately left behind was discovered by the Water God. According to the Water God’s temperament, he should be constantly monitoring the place. Tsk, another disciple of the Great Saint has come out of seclusion and started to interfere in the battle between the Western Sect and the Dao Sect. In the past two years, there have been rumors in the Western Sect that a great calamity is about to happen to the Dao Sect. I wonder if it’s true.

　　He is really the hardworking Water God and the disciple of the Western Saint.

　　Perhaps in a few days, the old Daoist priest would be carried down again. The Water God would then say calmly to the spiritual mountain, “Next.”

　　The smile on Daoist Wen Jing’s lips gradually became charming. “Aunt Wen,” the young girl sent a voice transmission. “Which living being should we kill this time?”

　　The smile on Wen Jing’s lips froze. How many times had she said that she wanted to call the Queen!

　　“Just call me Sister. Don’t keep calling me Aunt.” Daoist Wen Jing sent a voice transmission back. “It’s still too early to fight. Don’t be anxious. The outside world is not as simple as the Blood Sea. This place focuses on scheming and scheming.”

　　“Oh,” Lady Rakshasa replied. Her silver-white hair flowed like water as she entered her cloak and put on her cloak. “Then I’ll rest, Aunt Wen.”

　　The cross-shaped veins on Wen Jing’s forehead popped up, but she did not say anything. She continued to fold her arms and lean against the stone pillar. Her enchanting figure was vaguely visible as she listened to the old Daoist priest continue to deceive the silly demons. Why did he say that they were stupid? The old Daoist priest had already said so much. The so-called experts of the demon race did not suspect his identity at all… At last, the demon prince was still a little conscious. Before the two sides were about to form another alliance and officially join forces, he asked, “Senior, how should I address you?” The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes smiled and said calmly, “My master is the Saint of the Western Sect. My name is Bodhi.”

　　What is an auspicious beast? He had predicted that there would be a calamity in the north of the North Continent half a year in advance. He had even sensed the arrival of a calamity through the operation of the Heavenly Dao…

　　That was actually a kind of intuition. However, it was an intuition that could be traced. Li Changshou could not be envious of Bai Ze’s mystical ability. Why is the difference between living beings so huge!?! Bai Ze’s mystical ability could be used on him to avoid disasters in time. He could sense that something was amiss and escape in time. Now, helping Li Changshou, the Water God would “assist” him in showing the effects. The Heavenly Courts had prepared half a year in advance. Before the demons had done anything, the Magi of the North Continent had already received Li Changshou’s warning. They had followed Li Changshou’s defense plan and completed the initial arrangements. Next, it was time to wait for the demons to deliver food. On the third day after Wen Jing and the unfamiliar expert from the spiritual mountain, the silver-haired girl, disappeared in the land of the demons, hundreds of demon kings gathered at an unimportant peak. Daoist Lu Ya did not appear, but the dozens of ancient legendary figures of the demons appeared together. It made the demons’ blood boil and swept away the negative emotions caused by the Heavenly Courts previously. However, today, the legendary figures of the demon race criticized the Heavenly Courts for being unrighteous. Their words changed and they turned to the battle between the ancient Magi and demons.

　　Lu Gong, who was famous among the demons, stood up and bowed to the world three times.

　　He yelled “The Magi are ferocious and bullied me for being kind. Today, the Magi are still gathering in the North Continent with the intention of suppressing us and hunting the Primordial World again!

　　In order to protect the clarity of the world, and also for the heroic souls that died in the hands of the Magi in the ancient times, the demons have launched a northern expedition to suppress the remnants of the Magi! Let the light of the righteous path shine on the Primordial World!”

　　Most of the older demons understood that they were using the Magi to force the Heavenly Courts to attack. The young demons, who did not know much about the world, were all hot-blooded and shouted.

　　At that moment, the demonic aura at the border of the North Continent surged and covered the sky. It condensed into a huge three-legged Golden Crow phantom above the Nine Heavens. Its aura suddenly rose!

　　Underground, Li Changshou’s paper effigy observed and shook his head secretly. The Western Sect was too ruthless. If they wanted him to die, they had to make him go crazy first. That was to send the demons to their deaths. The disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect whom he had only seen from the back was probably a ruthless character who had never shown his face before.

　　Just based on the performance of the demons previously, they would definitely not be able to shout out those righteous words. They did not have enough confidence and vision. They were most likely the disciples of the Western Sect’s Saint.

　　However, after thinking about it carefully, what did those words represent? The demons wanted to “enforce justice on behalf of the Heavenly Courts” and snatch justice from the Heavenly Courts. With those few statements, Li Changshou could completely wake the Jade Emperor up and let the Heavenly Courts start a full-scale war against the demons. Of course, that would be a huge blow to the Heavenly Courts as they would suffer many casualties. “Come steadily.” Li Changshou sighed and continued to monitor the movements of the demons and check the deployment of the Heavenly Courts. His thoughts had to be clear as usual. He wanted to strike after the enemy. This time, he did not want to wipe out the demon troops. He wanted to eat some of the elite demons and rewrite the comparison between the experts of the Heavenly Courts and the demons. Two days later, the demons attacked.

　　A total of one-third of the demons left the gathering place of the North Continent. A hundred demon kings, thousands of demon experts, and hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers formed an army at the border of the North Continent and headed towards the West Ocean.

　　The strength of the demon soldiers was uneven. Most of them were at the Essence Immortal realm. If they directly passed through the region with the thickest miasma in the North Continent, more than half of them would die.

　　As for the Magi of the North Continent, they had previously supported Chi You and Emperor Huang Xuanyuan to fight for the position of the Human Emperor because of some of the ancient Magi causing trouble. In the end, they suffered a backlash from the destiny of the human race. Most of the strength left behind by the ancient Magi had been damaged. At that moment, they could only resist the demon army for a while. They were not their match at

　　all.

　　Moreover, according to Li Changshou’s observation, tens of thousands of true demon elites had already entered the miasma of the North Continent while the demon army was rushing to the West Ocean. Under the lead of hundreds of true demon experts, they slowly forced their way to the gathering place of the Magi.

　　He also counted the mighty figures of the demon race who could rush over before the battle, as well as those who had Immortal-Slaying Flying Daggers like Lu Ya…

　　They were ambushed on all sides and surrounded from all directions. The Magi were in huge danger.

　　Li Changshou secretly arranged the troops. The paper effigy had long returned to the Netherworld and the North Ocean Dragon Palace.

　　The dragon race already had a “grudge” against the Western Sect. This time, they also carried a lot of resentment. Almost all the experts of the East Ocean Dragon Palace had come out to protect the North Ocean Sea Eye and provide help to the Heavenly Courts. Now, in the four seas, because the Western Sect stopped supporting the few restless forces of the Sea Clan, the rebellion of the Sea Clan had gradually subsided. The Sea Clan had once again become a force that could not be underestimated in the hands of the dragon race.

　　However, the strength of the Sea Clan was generally weaker. After the prawn soldiers and crab generals left the seawater, their strength would be greatly reduced. The “Immortal Flood Dragon Soldiers” of the dragon race were the current “Black Dragon Soldiers”. They also had to guard the remaining three Sea Eyes.

　　Therefore, Li Changshou only mobilized the experts of the dragon race to fight head-on this time.

　　Of course, to be safe, he had secretly arranged for a million soldiers of the Sea Clan and a mixed army of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to secretly arrive under the ice of the North Ocean a few days ago. In the following battle, the Heavenly Soldiers would be defeated and the Magi would suffer heavy casualties. Then, he would use the Water God Deity Position to launch a huge tsunami and let the million-strong Sea Clan army drown the demons.

　　However, that move would be extremely harmful to the living beings of the North Continent. It would destroy the ecology of the North Continent and damage the diversity of the Primordial World. They would inevitably accidentally injure the Magi. It would not pose much of a threat to the experts of the demon race.

　　If there was no need, Li Changshou would not really use the Water God Treasure.

　　According to the speed of the demons’ march, it would take about two days for the demon army to arrive at the gathering place of the Magi in the North Continent. A bloody battle was about to occur in the north of the North Continent in about three days, including the time that the demons had spent organizing their troops. While Li Changshou was monitoring his surroundings, he was also thinking carefully. There were no mistakes or flaws in his arrangements.

　　At that moment, Bai Ze played an important role!

　　The man and beast studied together for a long time. Li Changshou used his immortal power to condense a sand table and used various flags as chess pieces to express the various factions and carefully deduce the subsequent battles with Bai Ze.

　　The first battle deduction of the Primordial World!

　　Bai Ze knew the demons very well. As the “commander” of the demons, he was extremely close to the actual performance of the demons. They played chess and considered the influence of the Western Sect. They attacked and defended on the land in the north of the North Continent. They had repeatedly deduced it more than ten times. In the end, Bai Ze was defeated.

　　However, each time, the Heavenly Courts, the Netherworld, the Magi, and the Dragon Palace suffered different losses.

　　The most tragic situation was that sixty to seventy percent of the Magi, and thirty percent of the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Heavenly Courts had prepared died… The two spirits discussed for half a day and perfected Li Changshou’s main plan and backup plan. It made Li Changshou feel more at ease.

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s the Heavenly Courts’ fortune to have Mr. Bai’s help.”

　　Bai Ze said, “Water God, if you were born in the ancient times and served the Human Emperor, I really don’t know how exciting the battle between the ancient Magi and demons will be.”

　　“Once the battle begins, all living beings will be plunged into misery and suffering,” Li Changshou said seriously. “This matter cannot be described as exciting.” “Yes.” Bai Ze bowed and said, “I was wrong. Water God, I have another plan. It can destroy the morale of the demons and reduce the damage to the Heavenly Courts.”

　　Li Changshou frowned slightly. He already knew the plan that Bai Ze had mentioned. He asked, “Mr. Bai, do you really not like the current demons?” There was a hint of sadness in Bai Ze’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “I have been retreating at the peak of the Demon Court. I shouldn’t have said that. However, my friends in the demon race and the living beings that I admire have all died together with the Demon Court. I actually dislike these despicable people who are afraid of death since the end of the ancient times. Today, they are using the name of the Demon Court to obtain benefits for themselves. Lu Ya was the young man who had been indifferent to hatred after coming into contact with them. He had gradually become like this… Ah, let’s not talk about it. Water God, this battle can be considered my first contribution to Ren School. I can’t be protected by the Saint for no reason.”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let me think about it.”

　　“Okay.”

　　Bai Ze sighed softly. The two figures bowed to each other. Li Changshou also returned to the Little Qiong Peak. The paper effigy sat in the Pill Chamber and stretched his main body in the secret underground chamber. He went to the portrait of the Grand Pure One and offered three incense sticks. He bowed and waited quietly for the Saint’s Dao runes to appear.

　　A few moments later…

　　No response?

　　Li Changshou blinked and was about to speak when he felt faint ripples in the universe

　　side him. Two wisps of spiritual will entered his Dao heart and turned into a familiar and interesting voice. “Hahaha! Little Disciple! I’m here to protect you again! Did you go kill Randeng?” “How have you been recently?” The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!

　　The real Cosmic Ruler! Li Changshou’s Dao heart trembled. The numinous treasure sent by the Saint had already given him a definite answer!

　　If he only gave it to the Pagoda Master, he would be making himself focus on scheming. He would protect himself and not have to personally kill the enemy.

　　However, the Cosmic Ruler had come together. This was to let him represent the Heavenly Courts and fight. To a certain extent, it would ease the awkward situation of the Heavenly Courts not having enough experts. From the looks of it, he had to redefine the Heavenly Courts’ officials. Li Changshou grabbed the Cosmic Ruler and stored the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda in his body. He bowed deeply to the portrait of the Saint and turned around to leave the secret chamber.

　　Since he had already obtained the permission of the Saint, he could use the trump cards that he did not reveal when he was deducing the battle with Bai Ze.

　　Two days later, in the eastern border of Fengdu City of the Netherworld, Ox-head held the jade token in his hand. His eyes were filled with determination as he waved his hand in front of him. Behind him, more than a thousand burly figures with surging blood energy took a step forward at the same time. Not long after, they ran on the Netherworld, causing sand to fill the sky.

　　At the Heavenly River Navy station in the Heavenly Courts, the 100,000 Heavenly River Soldiers and 300,000 Heavenly Courts’ elite Heavenly Soldiers were already ready to attack. General Dongmu stood quietly in front of the array formation, waiting for the jade token in his hand to light up. Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang were standing behind General Dongmu. They stood quietly with dozens of Heavenly Courts’ generals and waited for the order to march. Under the ice pillar of the North Ocean Dragon Palace, the prawn soldiers and crab generals trembled in the cold, pitch-black seawater, waiting for the military order that might not reach them. In the seawater, azure dragons slowly swam. Under their scaly eyelids were dragon eyes filled with cold hatred… In the sky, in front of the only exit of the Goddess’s Palace, a cloud boat slowly floated out and carried a few smiling fairies towards the five continents.
