After all, Huaguo Mountain had millions of demon soldiers and seventy-two Demon Kings. Unless the Heavenly Court dispatched a Daluo Golden Immortal, the thought of forcing their allegiance was an utter joke. Unfortunately for the Demon Kings, who sneered and looked down on him, Ye Xuan was utterly unmoved. Since he intended to subjugate Huaguo Mountain, he naturally had some level of confidence. “Daoist Bai Hong, although you are the first Demon King of Huaguo Mountain, you alone cannot speak for the entire mountain. Even if you refuse to submit to me, it doesn’t mean that the other Demon Kings feel the same way,” Ye Xuan said calmly. “Ha ha.” Bai Hong burst into loud laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke, until the laughter faded from his face after a dozen breaths. His expression turned icy. “At first, I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, but now it seems you’re just an ignorant child. Why don’t you ask my brothers here who among them is willing to submit to the Heavenly Court?” Gazing at Bai Hong’s unrestrained laugh, Ye Xuan smirked mysteriously and slowly shook his head. “No, no, no, Daoist Bai, you misunderstand. It’s not the Heavenly Court you are submitting to, but me, Ye Xuan, which is fundamentally different.” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, all the Demon Kings present were taken aback and looked at him with a trace of astonishment. They had not expected Ye Xuan’s ambition to be so great, to even consider subjugating them for his own use. “So, you also possess the wild ambition of a treacherous wolf. Unfortunately, your ambition is nothing but a joke in my eyes. No matter how eloquently you speak, you cannot shake our resolve,” Bai Hong sneered. At this moment! Ye Xuan’s smile disappeared as he surveyed the Demon Kings in attendance. When his gaze fell upon the Purple Dragon King, he gave him a profound look, which puzzled the Purple Dragon King and made him contemplate deeply. Suddenly. The Purple Dragon King’s breathing hitched as if he had grasped the meaning behind Ye Xuan’s gaze, involuntarily bowing his head while his fists clenched tightly, betraying his inner turmoil. This scene went unnoticed by Bai Hong and the others, as their focus was entirely on Ye Xuan. “Daoist Bai Hong, I’ve said everything I needed to say. You may want to consider it carefully. I did not come here to wage a great war against you all, but simply to be neighbors with Huaguo Mountain and, ideally, engage in more frequent exchanges.” “Farewell!” With a slight smile, Ye Xuan drifted away under the astonished gazes of Bai Hong and the others. Ye Xuan arrived quickly and departed just as swiftly, leaving the Demon Kings with indecisive expressions, clearly unsure whether to let him go. “Big brother, this Ye Xuan must not be left alive. Even though he holds the Witch Clan’s Divine Artifact, it would be no difficult task for us to join forces and kill him,” the Snake Demon King spoke in a deep voice. “Indeed, this Ye Xuan is too cunning. If he were to divulge our pasts to the public, I fear our old enemies would undoubtedly band together and come knocking on our door,” the Lion Elephant King said grimly. As both spoke up, several more Demon Kings expressed their agreement, evidently all wishing to exterminate Ye Xuan to set their minds at ease. Bai Hong frowned slightly, obviously considering his brothers’ requests, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. “Let him go.” Suddenly, before Bai Hong could make a decision, the Purple Dragon King, who had just been eager to kill Ye Xuan, unexpectedly voiced a contrary opinion, puzzling the other Demon Kings who looked at him, unable to grasp his reason. At that time. The Purple Dragon King spoke calmly, explaining, “Ye Xuan is the envoy from the Emperor Dongji of the Heavenly Court. It’s clear that his mission to subdue Huaguo Mountain wasn’t meant to lead us into a bloody conflict. If we were to kill him, it would surely draw the wrath of the Heavenly Court. How would we withstand an attack from a Daluo Golden Immortal?” “Better to let him leave. Since he doesn’t wish to battle with us, this can be considered a good thing for Huaguo Mountain.” “Yes, the third brother makes a good point.” Bai Hong nodded slowly, considering the security implications for Huaguo Mountain, he naturally agreed with the Purple Dragon King’s reasoning. However, Bai Hong and the other Demon Kings did not notice the hint of guilt in the Purple Dragon King’s eyes, a guilt that was quietly concealed. ... When Ye Xuan returned safely, Han Guang and the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were surprised, showing him the utmost respect. However, the command Ye Xuan issued next left Han Guang and the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals dumbfounded. Without other explanation. Ye Xuan’s order was simple; he instructed Han Guang to camp a million miles away from Huaguo Mountain, stating an intent to remain stationed there long-term. Ye Xuan’s order was odd, not only refraining from attacking Huaguo Mountain but also choosing to become its neighbor, contradicting everyone’s expectations and leaving them wondering what the Emperor Dongji intended to do. Unfortunately for them, Ye Xuan’s will was undeniable, and Han Guang had no choice but to obey and establish their base on Luoyun Mountain a million miles away, where the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals took root. In just one day’s time, under the construction efforts of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, rows of towers and palaces rose from the ground, and a Mountain Protection Array began to form, turning Luoyun Mountain into a vast Daoist sacred land. It was at this moment that Ye Xuan issued another command, forbidding the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from quarreling with the demons of Huaguo Mountain, and even more so, he published a Dharma Decree outwardly, allowing any demon from Huaguo Mountain to come to Luoyun Mountain to hear him preach and impart the Cultivation Method. Of course, Bai Hong heard about all of Ye Xuan’s actions, but he simply let Ye Xuan occupy Luoyun Mountain, treating it as nothing more than a joke. After all, the Lower Realm is no match for the splendor of Heavenly Court, and Bai Hong truly did not believe that Ye Xuan would stay at Luoyun Mountain forever, never returning to Heavenly Court. Even though Ye Xuan could stay in the Lower Realm for a long time, the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were with demons every day; Bai Hong feared that their morale would be disturbed, inevitably leading to some kind of trouble. Unfortunately, Bai Hong understood Ye Xuan far too little and was completely unaware of how terrifying Ye Xuan’s methods were. Initially, there were Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who would obey Ye Xuan’s commands, but as time passed, some of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals began to grow dissatisfied, just as Bai Hong had thought, with some idle Heavenly Soldiers even killing some Little Demons. Not waiting for the demons of Huaguo Mountain to challenge Ye Xuan first, Ye Xuan executed his thunderous methods, directly scattering the souls of these disobedient Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. For a time, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals became much more obedient, and no one dared to defy Ye Xuan’s will any longer, but privately, they held grievances against him and even called Ye Xuan a Tyrant. However, on the other hand, the impression of Ye Xuan among the minor demons of Huaguo Mountain greatly changed, and the hostility in their hearts towards Ye Xuan was quietly dissolving, this subtle and silent change spread as time went by. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Time is the most heartless, also allowing all living beings to form habits. When the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had no more disputes with the demons of Huaguo Mountain, and the endless demons grew accustomed to the presence of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Huaguo Mountain returned to the tranquil days of the past. Demons are ferocious and stubborn, as well as curious at heart; when they realized that these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would not strike them, the more daring demons even took delight in mocking the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. In these ten years, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals could be said to have suffered indescribably, mingling with demons every day and enduring mockery from them without retaliation, which further fueled their dissatisfaction with Ye Xuan. Regrettably, their dissatisfaction could only be endured in silence, because Ye Xuan had personally extinguished countless Heavenly Soldiers; under the threat of death, they could only swallow their resentment. Although Bai Hong had issued an order forbidding the demons of Huaguo Mountain from going to Luoyun Mountain, there were millions upon millions of demon troops in Huaguo Mountain, too many for Bai Hong to oversee. And as Ye Xuan preached and taught at Luoyun Mountain, some of the bolder demons secretly spied on him, and when they found that Ye Xuan did not drive them away but instead kindly explained the ways of Cultivation to them, those daring demons entered the teaching hall and listened to Ye Xuan’s preaching and teaching, filled with gratitude towards him. These Little Demons had no Cultivation Method whatsoever; they could only rely on instinct to absorb nature’s spiritual energy over time to enhance their own Cultivation. But now that Ye Xuan had given them the Cultivation Method, they naturally saw significant improvement in their Cultivation, and nearly every day they would enter Luoyun Mountain to hear Ye Xuan preach and teach. Since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, all beings have spirit, and even demons have the desire for progress. When some Little Demons saw significant advancement in their Cultivation, the rest of the demons learned the truth of their companions’ rapid progress and sneaked into Luoyun Mountain to listen to Ye Xuan preach and teach. For a time, Luoyun Mountain was teeming with demons; it could almost be said that myriads of demons were flocking to it, and all the demons knew that this Emperor Dongji taught regardless of kind and would not harm them, which made Luoyun Mountain become a Sacred Land in the eyes of many demons. This matter naturally also reached the ears of the seventy-two Cave Demon Kings; when they saw their Little Demons improving in Cultivation, which was inherently a good thing and beneficial to them without any harm, they turned a blind eye and allowed their minions to go to Luoyun Mountain. Another ten years passed. Ye Xuan had already stayed at Huaguo Mountain for twenty years. In these twenty years, beside daily Cultivation, he was preaching and teaching a great number of demons, and he often joined the Demon Kings for mirthful feasts, as if he had become part of the family. Bai Hong, when he discovered this matter, grew dark with rage. Bai Hong knew deeply that Ye Xuan was absolutely not so benevolent, but he also could not understand why Ye Xuan was doing this. Could it be that he thought by winning over hearts, he could conquer Huaguo Mountain without bloodshed? Wouldn’t that be a huge joke? To know that as long as the seventy-two Demon Kings were at Huaguo Mountain for a day, those millions upon millions of demon troops would follow their lead; no matter how much Ye Xuan tried to win over hearts, it would be like fetching water with a bamboo basket—an effort in vain. Bai Hong firmly believed this principle because since ancient times Immortals and Demons were irreconcilable, a difference rooted in the levels of life itself, destined to make them foes, not friends. Regrettably, Bai Hong did not know that Ye Xuan had come from the urban world of the Human Realm. He was an expert in understanding human nature, and winning over hearts was merely the first step. ... Purple Dragon Peak. The Daoist cultivation ground of Dragon King Ao Qing at Purple Dragon Peak lay a million miles from Luoyun Mountain. Over these twenty years, Dragon King Ao Qing had healed the injuries from his battle with Nezha and had once again reached the Cultivation of a Luotian Mystic Immortal. But during these twenty years, Dragon King Ao Qing had never forgotten the profound gaze Ye Xuan had cast him. He understood the implied meaning in Ye Xuan’s eyes and was restless day and night, tossed and turned with uncertainty about whether he should meet with Ye Xuan. Atop Purple Dragon Peak. Ao Qing looked on as the sea of clouds boiled, his fists clenched slightly, his gaze flickering. The carefree days from the South Sea Dragon Palace of years past continuously emerged in his mind. “Father King, I have never forgotten the difficulties you endured for me. Please wait a little longer, just a bit longer...!” Ao Qing took a deep breath, slowly exhaling. His wavering eyes focused, a decisive gleam passing through them as his body suddenly became ethereal, quietly vanishing from Purple Dragon Peak.
