28: Arriving at the Xihuang Palace, Fuxi's Wrath

Xi Huang Palace.

Li Yun followed Fuxi and Nüwa inside. Along the way, numerous Cultivators saluted Fuxi and Nüwa.

Following behind, Li Yun quietly activated his Purple Gold Divine Pupils to observe. They were basically all existences at the Golden Immortal Realm and Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm level.

Even the guards merely watching the gates of Xi Huang Palace possessed strength at the Golden Immortal Realm.

This situation once again made him aware of his own insufficient strength, creating an urgent desire to make his own power more robust.

Although his Physical Body Realm was already powerful enough to rival Golden Immortal combat power, physical cultivation and Primordial Spirit cultivation were completely different. Close-quarters combat between Cultivators was exceedingly rare.

It was basically bombardment with spells and Divine Abilities, or collisions between true forms. Even the Wu Clan primarily relied on their true forms, with Laws and Protective Aura as supplements.

"Lord Fuxi, Lady Nüwa, you've finally returned."

They had just entered the main hall of Xi Huang Palace when an urgent cry came through.

Looking towards the sound, a Cultivator with a youthful appearance could be seen hurriedly running forward. What was most striking was the pair of white feathered wings on his back; his white hair and golden eyes gave a feeling of extreme righteousness.

Upon reaching Fuxi and Nüwa, the man spoke somewhat urgently: "Something terrible has happened! Those few Demon Gods in the northern region have pledged allegiance to Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi. They have now established the Demon God Palace and are starting to compete with our Xi Huang Palace for territory!"

"With the two of you absent, nearly a quarter of our Xi Huang Palace's territory has been seized by them during this period. Furthermore, many beings who originally intended to join Xi Huang Palace have now joined the Demon God Palace instead..."

Listening to Lu Fa's account, Fuxi and Nüwa's expressions immediately turned ugly. The air became somewhat oppressive at this moment, their angry emotions clearly palpable.

Dijun? Donghuang Taiyi!

Li Yun raised an eyebrow, his expression momentarily strange.

During this period, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were indeed beginning to show their prominence, but he never expected that the two of them hadn't established the Yao Race first, but had instead taken the lead in founding the Demon God Palace.

Most importantly, this Demon God Palace and Xi Huang Palace had now actually become hostile states. This was truly surprising.

"Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, you go too far!"

At that moment, Fuxi's angry voice rang out: "Lu Fa, gather our forces. This Emperor will personally go to demand an explanation!"

"Yes, Lord Fuxi."

Acknowledging the order, Lu Fa immediately turned and walked towards the palace exit.

But Li Yun saw the slight upward curve of his lips at that moment, a seemingly self-satisfied smirk as if he had achieved some objective.

Unfortunately, both Fuxi and Nüwa were currently immersed in their anger, completely failing to notice this point.

"Interesting!"

"This Lu Fa likely has ulterior motives."

"Stirring up Fuxi and Nüwa's anger, making them go settle accounts with Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi—this is probably a trap waiting for them to take the bait!"

Thinking this, Li Yun immediately lost any desire to linger further.

After all, in such a situation, with Fuxi and Nüwa falling victim to a scheme, it was likely this outing wouldn't have a good outcome.

With this thought, Li Yun promptly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Nüwa, since you have matters to attend to, I won't disturb you further. I..."

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, there's no need to worry!"

However, before Li Yun could finish, Fuxi spoke up first: "Such a trivial matter is nothing to fear. After my sister and I demand an explanation, we shall converse freely with you, Fellow Daoist!"

"Attendant! Take Fellow Daoist Li Yun to rest!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a voice of acknowledgment rang out.

Following that, a guard could be seen walking in.

Upon reaching Li Yun's location, he saluted and said: "Lord Li Yun, please follow me!"

"Very well!"

Opening his mouth, Li Yun found it truly difficult to refuse at this moment.

Although he didn't have high hopes for the outcome of Fuxi and Nüwa's outing, he indeed couldn't leave just then.

Thinking this, Li Yun cupped his hands in salute to the two: "In that case, I'll be imposing. I wish you both a smooth journey!"

With that, Li Yun didn't linger further. He turned and left with the guard.

As Li Yun departed, Fuxi and Nüwa were now seething with rage. After exchanging a glance, they waited within the hall.

Approximately an hour later, Lu Fa returned and reported: "Lord Fuxi, Lady Nüwa, the forces have been assembled and are ready to depart at any time!"

"Good!"

Nodding, Fuxi and Nüwa stood up and immediately declared without hesitation: "Everyone, follow us!"

"Today, we will definitely make Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi pay for their actions."

As they spoke, the three directly left Xi Huang Palace, leading the palace's Cultivators in a mighty procession as they sped towards the Demon God Palace's territory.

"They've finally left!"

On the other end, within a room, Li Yun personally witnessed the departure of Fuxi, Nüwa, and the others.

With a thought, he directly took out Qiongqi's corpse and, without hesitation, summoned the swallowing heaven gourd to absorb it inside.

The next second, information from the swallowing heaven gourd transmitted into his mind: 【After a thousand years, the wine will mature!】

"A thousand years!"

"That long!"

"Indeed, the conversion speed for a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level Vicious Beast is much slower."

Muttering to himself, Li Yun put away the swallowing heaven gourd. Casually plucking a strand of hair, he transformed it into his own likeness to stay within the palace. He himself then performed the 72 Transformations, turning into a sparrow and flying out through the window.

He planned to follow and see what was really going on. After all, barring any surprises, Fuxi and Nüwa should suffer a major setback this time.

Simultaneously, he also wanted to see Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, these two top-tier great deities of later ages.

The former, the future Demon Emperor, was born possessing the river map and luo scroll, two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The latter, the future Demon Sovereign, was born possessing the innate supreme treasure chaos bell—one of the three Primordial Opening Treasures, excelling in both defense and offense. In terms of value, it was even slightly superior to the taiji diagram and pangu banner.

Speeding along, relying on the detection ability of his Purple Gold Divine Pupils, Li Yun caught up with the Xi Huang Palace Cultivator contingent before long.

However, the transformation art of the 72 Transformations was easily seen through. Li Yun didn't dare approach rashly, instead keeping a considerable distance.

Not long after, the mighty Xi Huang Palace Cultivator army arrived at a branch range of Mount Buzhou.

As far as the eye could see, pavilions and towers had already been constructed on this branch of Mount Buzhou. Numerous Innate Beings were continuously building using spells and Divine Abilities. The project was massive, with the momentum to cover the entire branch range.

"Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, come out here!"

Fuxi's furious roar thundered.

The next second, the mana pressure of the Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal swept out, directly covering the area of the distant branch range.
