"Ye Daoyou, do you think that you can defeat us just because you have the divine artifact of the Magi?" Bai Hong narrowed his eyes as a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He looked at Ye Xuan with disdain.
It was no wonder that Bai Hong found it laughable. Ye Xuan's words were too arrogant. One had to know that his Mount Huaguo had hundreds of millions of demon soldiers and seventy-two demon kings. Unless the Celestial Court sent Daluo Jinxian, it would be a huge joke to make them surrender.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not feel the slightest bit of disdain from the demon kings. Since he wanted to subdue Mount Huaguo, he naturally had a certain level of confidence.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Hong, although you are the number one demon king of Mount Huaguo, you alone cannot represent the entire Mount Huaguo. Even if you are unwilling to submit to me, it does not mean that the other demon kings are the same," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Haha."
Bai Hong laughed maniacally as if he had heard the funniest joke. After ten breaths of time, Bai Hong's smile disappeared and he said with a cold expression, "Previously, I thought that you had some means, but now it seems that you are just an ignorant child. Ask my brothers, which one of them is willing to submit to the Celestial Court?"
Looking at Bai Hong's unruly smile, Ye Xuan smiled strangely and slowly shook his head, "No, no, no. Fellow Daoist Bai, you have misunderstood. You want to submit to me, Ye Xuan, and not the Celestial Court. There is a fundamental difference."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, all the Demon Kings present were stunned. A trace of astonishment flashed through their eyes as they looked at Ye Xuan. They never thought that Ye Xuan's ambition would be so great that he actually wanted to subdue them for his use.
"So you're also a person with wild ambitions. Unfortunately, your ambitions are only a joke in the eyes of this King. No matter how glib your tongue is, it's unable to shake our minds." Bai Hong sneered.
At this moment!
The smile on Ye Xuan's face disappeared. He glanced at the other demon kings and when he saw the Amethyst Dragon King, he cast a deep glance at him. His gaze startled the Amethyst Dragon King as a look of contemplation flashed past his eyes.
Suddenly.
The Amethyst Dragon King felt suffocated, as if he could feel the meaning in Ye Xuan's eyes. This made him unconsciously lower his head, but his fists were slightly clenched, proving that his heart was not calm at all.
This scene naturally didn't attract the attention of Bai Hong and the others because everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Hong, I've already said what I need to say. Fellow Daoist, you can consider it carefully. This time, I'm not here to fight with all of you. I just want to be neighbors with Huaguo Mountain.
"Goodbye!"
Ye Xuan lightly smiled. Under the astonished gazes of Bai Hong and the others, he floated away.
Ye Xuan came and left quickly, but the demon kings' faces were uncertain. Obviously, they didn't know if they should let Ye Xuan leave.
"Big Brother, Ye Xuan can't be left alive. Even if he has the Sorcerer Tribe's Divine Weapon, it won't be difficult for us to kill him if we join forces." The Snake Demon King said in a low voice.
"That's right. Ye Xuan is too cunning. If he were to announce our identities to the public, I'm afraid that our former enemies will definitely join forces to find him." The Lion Elephant King said in a gloomy voice.
As the two of them spoke, many demon kings agreed. Obviously, they all wanted to kill Ye Xuan. This was the only way to make them feel at ease.
Bai Hong frowned. Obviously, he was also considering the request of his brothers. A hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes.
"Let him leave."
Suddenly, without waiting for Bai Hong to make a decision, the Purple Dragon King, who wanted nothing more than to kill Ye Xuan, actually retorted. This caused all the Demon Kings to be stunned as they looked at the Purple Dragon King with puzzlement.
At this moment.
The Amethyst Dragon King said calmly, "Ye Xuan is the East Emperor of the Celestial Court. This time, he was ordered to attack our Huaguo Mountain. Obviously, he doesn't want to fight with us. If we really kill him, we will definitely incur the wrath of the Celestial Court. If the Daluo Jinxian attacks, how can we resist?"
"Why don't we let him go? Since he doesn't want to fight with us, this is a good thing for our Huaguo Mountain."
"Yes, Third Brother is right."
Bai Hong nodded slowly. It was related to the safety of Huaguo Mountain. He naturally agreed with the Amethyst Dragon King's words.
However, Bai Hong and the other demon kings did not see that the Amethyst Dragon King's eyes had a hint of guilt. It was just that this guilt was quietly hidden by him.
…
When Ye Xuan returned safely, the thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals were shocked. Han Guang was even more concerned about Ye Xuan's well-being. He was extremely respectful of Ye Xuan.
However, when Ye Xuan issued an order, Han Guang and the thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals were stunned speechless.
There was no other reason.
Ye Xuan's order was very simple. He directly ordered Han Guang to set up camp a million miles away from Huaguo Mountain. He said that he wanted to stay there for a long time.
Ye Xuan's order was too strange. Not only did he not attack Huaguo Mountain, but he also wanted to be its neighbor. This simply overturned everyone's worldview. No one knew what the East Emperor wanted to do.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan's will was not to be disobeyed. Han Guang could only follow Ye Xuan's orders and build the Luo Yun Mountain a million miles away into their base. The thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals also took root there.
In just a day, the thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals built up rows of pavilions and palaces. A mountain-protecting array was also taking shape. The Luo Yun Mountain had been turned into a vast Dao field.
It was also at this time that Ye Xuan issued another order. He forbade the celestial soldiers and generals from fighting with the demons of Huaguo Mountain. He also issued a Dharmic decree to the outside world that all demons of Huaguo Mountain could come to Luo Yun Mountain to listen to his teachings.
Of course, Ye Xuan's series of actions had reached Bai Hong's ears. However, Bai Hong simply allowed Ye Xuan to set up camp on Luo Yun Mountain. He only treated it as a joke.
In the end, the lower realms could not compare to the prosperity of the Celestial Court. Bai Hong truly did not believe that Ye Xuan could continue to set up camp on Luo Yun Mountain and not return to the Celestial Court.
Even if Ye Xuan could stay in the lower realms for a long time, the thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals would be in constant company with demons. Their morale would probably be shaken and they would definitely cause some trouble.
Unfortunately, Bai Hong did not understand Ye Xuan, nor did he know how terrifying Ye Xuan's methods were.
In the beginning, the celestial soldiers and generals still listened to Ye Xuan's orders. However, as time passed, some of the celestial soldiers and generals began to become dissatisfied as Bai Hong had expected. Some of the celestial soldiers even killed some of the smaller demons when they had nothing to do.
Before Huaguo Mountain could make things difficult for Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan used thunderous methods and directly killed these disobedient celestial soldiers and generals.
In an instant, the celestial soldiers and generals became much more obedient. No one dared to disobey Ye Xuan's will anymore. However, they were secretly dissatisfied with him and even called Ye Xuan a tyrant.
On the other hand, the smaller demons of Huaguo Mountain had a drastic change in their impression of Ye Xuan. Their hostility towards Ye Xuan also quietly dissipated. This subtle change was quietly spreading with the passage of time.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
Time was the most heartless. It could also form a habit for all living things.
When the thirty thousand celestial soldiers and generals no longer had any conflict with the demons of Huaguo Mountain, the countless demons also got used to the existence of the celestial soldiers and generals. Huaguo Mountain also returned to its peaceful days of the past.
The demons were ferocious and unruly, but they were also curious. When they realized that the celestial soldiers and generals would not attack them, some of the bolder demons even took pleasure in teasing the celestial soldiers and generals.
In the past ten years, the celestial soldiers and generals could be said to have suffered unspeakable hardships. They had to be teased by the demons all day long and didn't dare to retaliate from time to time. This also made them increasingly dissatisfied with Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, they could only endure their dissatisfaction. This was because Ye Xuan had personally destroyed countless celestial soldiers. Under the threat of death, they could only swallow their anger.
Although Bai Hong had once issued an order not to allow the demons of Huaguo Mountain to go to Falling Cloud Mountain, there were hundreds of millions of demon soldiers on Huaguo Mountain. How could Bai Hong manage so many demons?
As for Ye Xuan's Dao teachings at Falling Cloud Mountain, some of the bolder demons secretly spied on him. When they realized that Ye Xuan didn't chase them away and instead kindly explained the Dao of cultivation to them, these bolder demons entered the dojo and listened to Ye Xuan's teachings obsessively. They were even more grateful to Ye Xuan.
It had to be said that these lesser demons didn't have any cultivation methods. As time passed, they could only rely on their instincts to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation.
But now that Ye Xuan had given them a cultivation method, their cultivation naturally improved greatly. Almost every day, they would enter Falling Cloud Mountain to listen to Ye Xuan's teachings.
At the beginning of the world, all living things had spirits. Even demons had the desire to improve. When some of the lesser demons' cultivation improved greatly, the other demons naturally learned the truth of their companions' rapid improvements. They all snuck into Falling Cloud Mountain to listen to Ye Xuan's teachings.
In a short period of time, the demons of Falling Cloud Mountain were entrenched. It could be said that tens of thousands of demons came to pay a visit. All of them knew that the East Emperor didn't discriminate in his teachings and wouldn't harm them. This caused Falling Cloud Mountain to become a holy land in the eyes of many demons.
This matter naturally reached the ears of the monster kings of the seventy-two grottos. However, when they saw that the lesser demons under their command had improved greatly in their cultivation, they turned a blind eye and allowed their subordinates to go to Falling Cloud Mountain.
Another ten years passed.
Ye Xuan had stayed in Mount Huaguo for twenty years. During this time, outside of cultivation, he taught a large number of demons. From time to time, he would drink and chat with the other monarchs as if they had become a family.
Bai Hong's expression darkened when he found out about this.
He knew that Ye Xuan wasn't so kind-hearted. However, he didn't understand why Ye Xuan would do such a thing.
Did he think that by buying people's hearts, he could subdue Mount Huaguo without shedding a single drop of blood? Wasn't this the biggest joke in the world?
Keep in mind that as long as the seventy-two monarchs were in Mount Huaguo, the hundreds of millions of demon soldiers would follow their lead. No matter how Ye Xuan tried to buy people's hearts, it would all be for naught.
Bai Hong firmly believed in this logic. Since ancient times, immortals and demons had never coexisted. This was a difference in the level of life, destined to be enemies and not friends.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ye Xuan came from a city in the mortal world. He was a master of the human heart, and buying people's hearts was only the first step.
...
Violet Dragon Peak.
Violet Dragon King Ao Qing's training ground was a million miles away from Falling Cloud Mountain. In the past twenty years, the Violet Dragon King had recovered from his injuries from the battle with Nezha and had once again regained his Overarching Heaven Xuan Immortal cultivation base.
However, during these twenty years, the Violet Dragon King had never forgotten the deep look in Ye Xuan's eyes. He understood the meaning in Ye Xuan's eyes and couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in bed day and night, wondering if he should meet Ye Xuan.
Violet Dragon Peak.
Ao Qing looked at the sea of clouds in the distance, his fists slightly clenched. His eyes drifted, and his carefree days in the South Sea Dragon Palace kept replaying in his mind.
"Father, I've never forgotten the difficulties you suffered for me. Please wait a little longer, just a little longer …!"
Ao Qing slowly inhaled and exhaled. His drifting eyes focused, and a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes. His body suddenly became illusory and quietly disappeared from Violet Dragon Peak.
