Dong Wang Gong angrily confronted Dong Huang Tai Yi, showing him no respect.
The heart of the demon race was known to all, their insatiable greed and ambition to unify the Primordial Era and become overlords. How could they be content with just Penglai Immortal Island?
Everyone present knew the demon race's intentions. They feared the demon race's momentum and dared not speak, lest they attract trouble and death. They silently played the role of spectators, quietly watching the show.
Now, hearing Dong Wang Gong's furious scolding, they all showed a knowing smile, clearly agreeing with Dong Wang Gong's view.
Upon hearing Dong Wang Gong's words and seeing the expressions of the beings present, Dong Huang Tai Yi could no longer suppress his rage.
"Good, good, good! Dong Wang Gong, you choose to be an enemy of my demon race, not the other way around. If this matter goes to the Dao Ancestor, no demon will be in the wrong."
Dong Huang Tai Yi said furiously. You refused to accept me speaking to you kindly, so I'll drop the pretense and be blunt!
"Wait a moment, if the Immortal Court suffers losses because of this, you will bear the consequences!"
Even in his extreme anger, Dong Huang Tai Yi did not forget to publicize the demon race's stance, the sole purpose being to have a justifiable explanation before the Dao Ancestor.
"Enough, enough. I don't dare to waste your time. In any case, the East Sea doesn't welcome you!"
Dong Wang Gong was unfazed by Dong Huang Tai Yi's threat. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang had said before that the demon race had not attacked the Immortal Court simply because they were plotting against the Wu race, preparing to let their old rivals attack the Immortal Court while they reaped the benefits.
When the Wu and Demon races realized this, they would no longer stand idly by and watch the Immortal Court develop. They would find various excuses to attack.
Since that was the case, why should he covet this superficial peace? It was better to personally break the beginner's protection that Fellow Daoist Xu Fang had mentioned.
The current deployment here, seemingly coming for Penglai Immortal Island and to speak up for Xu Fang, was also a declaration of the Immortal Court's existence to the Primordial Era.
This was the Immortal Court's debut battle. If they could unite with Xu Fang and the Dragon race to defeat the demon race here, the Immortal Court's reputation would soar, attracting more immortals to join them.
Based on this, not only would the Immortal Court not retreat from this battle, but it was a heaven-sent opportunity that must be seized!
Dong Wang Gong wasted no further words and immediately ordered the members of the Immortal Court to join the battlefield and help the Dragon race fight the demon race.
Suddenly, what was originally a battle between the old and new overlords of the Dragon and Demon races, with the addition of the Immortal Court, turned into the demon race facing an old overlord of the Primordial Era and a new emerging power.
On the battlefield, the Dragon race was already struggling to cope. With the addition of the immortals from the Immortal Court, they took the opportunity to fight back, overwhelming the demon race.
Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi were filled with hatred. Why did the Immortal Court have to appear at this particular moment, not too early and not too late? It was clearly aimed at opposing their demon race!
Dong Huang Tai Yi never tolerated those who opposed the demon race. With a thought, the Chaos Bell appeared before him.
Seeing this, Dong Wang Gong not only did not panic but even smiled.
"What, are you going to attack me, the leader of male immortals and the lord of the Immortal Court? Dong Huang Tai Yi, do you have an opinion about the leader of male immortals personally enfeoffed by the Dao Ancestor?"
Dong Huang Tai Yi not only had opinions about Dong Wang Gong; he was now summoning the Chaos Bell with the intention of killing him and ending his troubles!
However, upon hearing Dong Wang Gong's words, he immediately stopped his actions and did not know how to respond.
Dong Wang Gong's act of using his status to bully others was certainly hateful.
However, after he spoke these words, even if he responded improperly, it would still be considered disrespect towards Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
Dong Wang Gong's life was not important, but offending that being was a truly serious matter.
"Tai Yi, retreat."
Di Jun saw Dong Huang Tai Yi's predicament and immediately rebuked him, telling Dong Huang Tai Yi not to act rashly and to back down gracefully.
Hearing this, Dong Huang Tai Yi, looking resentful but having no choice, was about to put away the Chaos Bell.
However, would Dong Wang Gong let them have their way? He stepped forward and they were to retreat, did they really not regard him, Dong Wang Gong, as anything?
"Heh heh! Dong Huang Tai Yi, aren't you known as the strongest expert of the demon race? Is this all you've got?"
Dong Wang Gong chuckled. Although Dong Huang Tai Yi was his younger brother, he was more powerful than Di Jun and was known as the strongest expert of the demon race.
Dong Wang Gong used to avoid such a formidable being, lest he be targeted.
Seeing this formidable expert so flustered before him, Dong Wang Gong felt exhilarated and could not resist mocking him again.
"You"
Dong Huang Tai Yi was furious and was about to charge forward regardless of the consequences, to let Dong Wang Gong know what the strongest expert of the demon race truly was.
Di Jun, with quick reflexes, immediately grabbed Dong Huang Tai Yi, preventing him from charging.
"Tai Yi, no!"
Di Jun rebuked him and then whispered.
"Now is not the opportune moment. Killing this Dong Wang Gong might bring disaster upon the demon race."
"However, although this matter has been ruined by Dong Wang Gong this time, it is also an opportunity, a chance to test Dao Ancestor Hong Jun."
Di Jun persuaded him in a low voice. Dong Huang Tai Yi listened, his expression softening considerably.
Indeed, this was clearly not the right time to kill Dong Wang Gong, but it was also a good opportunity.
After this matter, if Dao Ancestor Hong Jun did not hold the demon race accountable for attacking the Immortal Court, it would prove Dao Ancestor's attitude towards the Immortal Court.
As long as Dao Ancestor Hong Jun did not interfere, it would prove that Dong Wang Gong's standing in Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's heart was nothing special. At that time, hmph!
"Big brother, I understand."
After Dong Huang Tai Yi grasped this point, he nodded to Di Jun and immediately put away the Chaos Bell.
No matter how Dong Wang Gong provoked him, Dong Huang Tai Yi ignored him. Annoyed, he retreated behind Di Jun.
"Truly useless. The so-called strongest expert of the demon race, nothing more!"
Dong Wang Gong gave one last mocking remark and stopped pestering Dong Huang Tai Yi, instead greeting the four Dragon Kings of the Dragon race.
"Everyone, rest assured, I am not of the demon race, and we will surely coexist peacefully and be good neighbors."
"Good!"
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas did not doubt this. Firstly, the appearance of the Immortal Court had resolved the Dragon race's urgent crisis, a great kindness to them.
Moreover, if any conflict arose between them in the future, they had another good neighbor, Xu Fang, to mediate, so there was no need to worry about any life-or-death situations.
And now, they had gathered here to defend their homeland, to expel the offending demon race and restore peace to the East Sea!
Seeing Dong Wang Gong and the four Dragon Kings hit it off immediately, chatting and laughing merrily, Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi were filled with indignation.
They were already plotting how Dong Wang Gong's current arrogance would lead to his future misery!
Xu Fang, watching the expressions of Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi, could not help but sigh in his heart.
"This Dong Wang Gong is truly as self-destructive as ever!"
Originally, due to the mutual schemes between the Wu and Demon races, there was a beginner's protection period. Now, this provocation was satisfying, but it had also earned the enmity of the demon race. Would the self-destructive person finally get their wish and die as they desired?
