89: Zhang Jieyin: Mount Sumeru, do I dare to accept it?

“Pah! Shameless Demon Master, how dare you scheme against our Demonic Path Daluo! What fault is there in merely wanting to integrate into the Great Dao of the Demon Ancestor?”

“Run! Scatter! Make sure to spread the Demon Master’s despicable shamelessness throughout the Honghuang World.”

In the West, Hongjun was momentarily at a loss for words.

That Demonic Path Daluo’s move was too vicious.

No, to be precise, it should be said that Luo Hou’s methods were too despicable.

The Demonic Path Daluo is inherently similar to the nature of its Incarnation. Whatever they do is under the control of That One.

Looking at the Demon Race members fleeing before him, did he finally make up his mind?

The weak ones could be ignored, but the extremely powerful ones—those at the Immortal and Taiyi Realm—must be sent into the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World.

Otherwise, this group's ability to cause trouble is simply too terrifying.

Sending them all to the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World is not impossible, but there are too many Demonic Path beings, which would ultimately lead to a result: the Origin and Spiritual Qi of the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World would be far insufficient for their Cultivation.

In that case, they would only devour each other.

If the Demonic Path hadn't grown so strong and there weren't so many beings, it would be slightly better.

Now that there are so many, sending them to the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World to slaughter each other for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would be somewhat unpleasant.

After all, the current Demonic Path beings do not carry Karma; instead, they possess a significant amount of Karma.

Saints are ultimately restricted. If they dare to wantonly kill the innocent, they must also pay a price.

They are not Hunyuan Experts, who fear nothing as long as they can overcome the Heavenly Dao and withstand the backlash of a region of Heaven and Earth.

Saint, if you dare try to resist, Heaven and Earth will directly strip away ninety percent of your power.

Without hesitation, Hongjun mobilized the Power of a Saint, condensing a large hand to seize those Demonic Path beings.

Some beings with exceptionally outstanding Aptitude, who had stepped into the Immortal and Taiyi Realm, were directly thrown into the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World.

“Demon Master, what are you doing? For the prosperity of the Immortal Dao, can you not even tolerate us? Even if all of us perish, billions of beings will know your detestable face.”

But in the next second, this loudly shouting Innate Living Being was also sent into the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World.

These Innate Living Beings all possessed a significant amount of Karma.

Subsequently, his gaze turned towards the West. That Divine Mountain Sumeru and the Formation covering the West were indeed good, but without the assistance of countless beings, they couldn't be fully utilized.

Relying on its instinctive operation is far from enough.

His gaze fell upon Mount Sumeru. At this moment, Mount Sumeru had suffered severe damage to its Origin. If he could control it, this Formation could be utilized.

After all, his power couldn't compare to the Demonic Path's efforts spanning countless Yuanhuis.

Without hesitation, he took a step and walked toward the Divine Mountain Sumeru.

As soon as he stepped in, he felt a strong sense of rejection.

Hongjun was stunned and somewhat at a loss. Had Mount Sumeru been Demonized by Luo Hou?

Without hesitation, he exerted his full strength, intending to completely expel Luo Hou's methods from the Divine Mountain Sumeru.

A feeling of disgust emanated from the Divine Mountain.

In the Honghuang World, every Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, though lacking intelligence, possesses instinct.

At this moment, this was the inherent dissatisfaction of the Divine Mountain Sumeru.

Hongjun’s expression darkened, and he was almost angered to the point of spitting blood.

The meaning conveyed by the Divine Mountain Sumeru was likely that he was unworthy of controlling it.

Transferring so many Demonic Path Expertss to the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World completely disrupted Luo Hou's arrangements. Under these circumstances, how could he be qualified to refine it?

In the West, Hongjun walked out from Mount Sumeru.

His face grew darker. He gazed wistfully at the beings of the West, wondering what could be done!

Re-establishing the Demonic Path—not only could he not provide so many Benefits, but the Heavenly Dao would also be unwilling.

Then those Demonic Path beings would only consider him useless.

If he didn't re-establish the Demonic Path, he couldn't control the Divine Mountain Sumeru. Once he tried to forcibly control it, he could sense the terrifying streams of Qi at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

The remains of chaos demon gods, moreover, remains of chaos demon gods that had been nourished. Coupled with Luo Hou’s methods, the Chaos Demon Gods might even revive upon it.

These are not under control; they are completely uncontrollable.

At that time, facing the uncontrollable Chaos Demon Gods, even if they had been sacrificed a few times, their strength would not be weak.

Luo Hou’s methods clearly indicated that he did not want Hongjun to control Mount Sumeru.

Of course, if he were willing to re-establish the Demonic Path, Mount Sumeru might be willing to let him control it.

In that case, Hongjun would truly have become a laborer working for the Demonic Path for nothing.

His gaze fell upon Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti. After pondering for a moment, he spoke lightly:

“Fellow Daoist Luo Hou has now achieved the Hunyuan Realm, but Mount Sumeru cannot be without a master for a single day. As Innate Sacred Beings born in the West, you have the responsibility to restore the West’s prosperity.”

“From now on, you two shall be the Master of Mount Sumeru.”

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti were stunned. They looked at the West, whose Origin had been drained, and compared it to the East. Why did the West still seem slightly stronger?

They were supposed to restore prosperity—restore it to what kind of prosperity?

The prosperity of the time of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou?

Even if they risked their lives, they absolutely couldn't achieve that.

Hongjun paid them no mind, took a step, and left the West.

He couldn't stay in the West anymore; the whole place had taken Luo Hou's shape. Let it develop as it may; what was the point of his effort?

In the West, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti were momentarily stunned. They looked at the majestic Mount Sumeru. Even though this Divine Mountain had lost too much Origin, it was still a top-tier Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land in the Honghuang World.

Were they envious? Of course, they were.

They absolutely dared not occupy it. Luo Hou hadn't perished, and there were countless Demon Masters in the Demonic Path.

Plus those Demonic Path Daluo who took shortcuts—if they truly occupied it, they would simply be beaten to death.

“Elder Brother Jieyin, what should we do next? Should we take Mount Sumeru or not?”

Daoist Zhunti asked with a solemn expression, sounding somewhat doubtful.

As soon as he said this, Daoist Jieyin frowned and spoke lightly:

“We must take it, why wouldn't we? But how to take it is the issue. We absolutely cannot go to the Summit of Mount Sumeru, and we definitely cannot go too far.”

“In this case, we only have one choice: didn’t we have an Immortal Cave within the Demonic Path? Our Dao Field will be there.”

“We will keep the other areas as they are, ready to welcome the return of the Demon Ancestor at any time.”

“This way, whether facing That Saint or That Demon Ancestor, we have a way to explain ourselves.”

“The beings of the Demonic Path will not only refrain from thinking we surrendered to the Immortal Dao, but they will even believe we did this out of necessity to protect the Demon Ancestor’s Dao Field.”

Daoist Zhunti’s eyes lit up. He realized they could actually play it this way, and indeed, it was the best method for now.

At Yujing Mountain, Hongjun felt this scene, his mouth twitching, but he did nothing.

Nothing else; he was just used to it. However, he was somewhat worried that the Heavenly Dao would instruct him to Preach the Dao to all beings after consolidating his Realm.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, hoping that when he Preached the Dao, the audience wouldn't be entirely composed of Demonic Path Demon Masters.
