A week later, at dawn.
Northern Domain.
Territory of the Jiuli Demon Palace.
Black mountains undulated, layer upon layer, ancient forests densely covered, rivers flowed, spanning thousands of miles.
On the mountains stood ancient black and gold palatial buildings and pavilions.
Everywhere could be seen ancient Demon God totems representing Emperor Chi You.
Moreover, billowing Fiend Celestial Energy permeated, shrouding the land for thousands of miles.
At this moment.
In the main peak hall, the "Demon God Hall," several elders and Law Enforcers were seated.
The current Palace Master of Jiuli Demon Palace, Li Yaoshou, was discussing matters with the elders and Law Enforcers.
Elder Li Tianyang said, "Unexpectedly, after the battle of Huangji Peak, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan also encountered trouble.
Brother Gu and Brother Linghu helped the Primordial Demon Ape Clan destroy the five major Demon Beast Families; this matter might blow up."
Elder Li Yunzheng snorted coldly, "These five major Demon Beast Families, relying on the support of the Hell Divine Dynasty, committed wrongs everywhere, oppressing major forces, arousing universal indignation!
This time they were wiped out, and they brought it upon themselves!"
An elder frowned and said, "However, Brother Gu and Brother Linghu also participated in this extermination war; the Hell Divine Dynasty will certainly hold us accountable!"
A Law Enforcer said worriedly, "Beihai is the domain of the Hell Divine Dynasty; their heritage is ancient, their foundation is deep, and they have no shortage of experts!
Once they declare war on us, it would be a huge threat to us!"
Several elders and Law Enforcers also nodded, worry flashing in their eyes.
"Who does the Hell Divine Dynasty think they are; if they dare, let them come and clash with our Jiuli Demon Palace!"
"Our ancestor Emperor Chi You, back then, defeated major powers across the myriad worlds, invincible, even the Flame Emperor and Yellow Emperor had to join forces to suppress our ancestor!"
"There are very few who can single-handedly suppress our ancestor!"
"As descendants of Emperor Chi You, how could we fear this so-called Hell Divine Dynasty!"
All the other elders and Law Enforcers present thundered, showing no fear at all.
Even though their ancestor is no longer around, the peerless cultivation techniques and many Dharma artifacts he left behind have been passed down.
Of course, more importantly, the spirit of never submitting, never admitting defeat, left by their ancestor, has been passed down as well.
This is their greatest confidence and reliance.
Precisely because of this, even without their ancestor, their Jiuli Demon Palace can still stand tall, proud atop the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain.
An elder furrowed his brow tightly and spoke, "However, the Hell Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Dynasty have a deep friendship!
If they join forces, even our Jiuli Demon Palace might struggle to contend with them!"
Another elder said, "Yes, after all, both the Hell Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Dynasty have beings surpassing the Nine Heavens Immortal stationed there!"
Li Yaoshou’s eyes gleamed coldly as he said solemnly, "Even if the Hell Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Dynasty join forces, our Jiuli Demon Palace isn’t afraid of a fight!
If we really can’t resist, we can ask Wa Palace for help!
We have a close relationship with Wa Palace; they should help us!
In short, if the Hell Divine Dynasty dares to make trouble for Elder Gu and Elder Linghu in the Northern Ming State, we absolutely won’t agree!"
After a pause.
He continued, "Everyone, get ready; I want to see if the Hell Divine Dynasty truly dares to come to the Northern Ming State!"
"Yes!"
All the elders and Law Enforcers present responded in unison.
Their eyes were resolute, their fighting spirit high, with no hint of fear.
...
Central Region.
Territory of Wa Palace.
The entire Wa Palace also spans thousands of miles, with a vast territory.
Mountains rose and fell, silver waterfalls hung upside down, green trees were lush, rivers flowed, spiritual energy was abundant, auspicious energy steamed.
Golden-red palatial buildings and pavilions were situated atop the mountains, surrounded by mist, immortal energy wafting, dreamlike.
Moreover, everywhere could be seen human-snake tail totems and Connate Eight Trigrams totems.
The human-snake tail totem represents Nuwa.
The Connate Eight Trigrams totem represents Fuxi.
Nuwa and Fuxi are siblings, both Ancient Immortal Emperors.
After Nuwa founded the Wa Palace, Fuxi also helped manage for a while.
