Look at how strong Tongtian was. His Immortal Extermination Sword Formation had swept through all his enemies, but he could not kill other sages.
In other words, during the Investiture of the Gods, the four sages broke through the Immortal Extermination Sword Formation, but Tongtian was only defeated and left. His life was not in danger.
Therefore, sages could not kill sages. This was an unchanging rule.
Of course, there was always a counterbalance to everything. Nothing was absolute. Even a Saint might not be truly immortal. However, it was definitely not that easy to kill a Saint.
Ever since Ye Xuan passed the Three Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao, he had been thinking about this problem.
Kill a sage!
Yes, kill a sage. Not only Nüwa, but also Yuanshi and the Two Sages of the West. These were all targets he wanted to kill. However, Ye Xuan had only found some clues to solve the problem of immortality. This was only his own guess. Even Ye Xuan was not sure if he could really kill a sage.
Of course, a clue was better than nothing. What Ye Xuan needed to do now was to plan. Subduing the two demonic emperors was only his first step.
"Ye Tiandi, please wait."
Rumble!
The starry sky rumbled as demonic light shot out. The two demonic emperors led thousands of demons and finally caught up to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan retracted his thoughts and looked back at the two demonic emperors.
Ye Xuan smiled and said, "What is it?"
Actually, Ye Xuan had been listening to the two demonic emperors' conversation. Although he knew that Donghuang Taiyi wanted to lead the Ancient Demon Court to submit to him, he still had to put on an act. After all, it would be too straightforward to say it out loud.
"Ye Tiandi, we have offended you in the past. Please forgive us, Ye Tiandi. Today, we are willing to lead the Ancient Demon Court to submit to the Sky Emperor. Please take us in." Donghuang Taiyi bowed to Ye Xuan. He did not use any fancy words and directly expressed his intentions to Ye Xuan.
"Alright."
Ye Xuan nodded slowly without any pretense. He had already achieved his goal. If he were to decline hypocritically, it would show that he was scheming.
Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun were stunned when they heard Ye Xuan's reply. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly. They didn't know what to say.
"With the two Celestial Courts united, there will only be one Celestial Court in this world. The two of you will become the two great Celestial Emperors of the Celestial Court. From now on, you will serve this Emperor loyally," Ye Xuan said bluntly.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
The two Demon Emperors looked at each other and then bowed to Ye Xuan. Although the thousands of demons had complicated expressions, they still bowed to Ye Xuan to show their loyalty.
"I have something to say. Although the two of you have led the Ancient Demon Court to submit to me, Nüwa has a lot of karma with me. If she doesn't die, I will. You two have to think about this carefully," Ye Xuan said softly.
"Heavenly Emperor, please understand. Although Nuwa is a member of the Demon Clan, she doesn't care about our kinship. She allowed the Sorcerer Tribe to harm the members of the Demon Clan and put millions of Demon Clansmen in the abyss of suffering. Although she is a Saint, she doesn't deserve to be a member of the Demon Clan. We will definitely be loyal to you, Heavenly Emperor, even if she is our enemy," Donghuang Taiyi said coldly.
When Donghuang Taiyi had the thought of submitting to Ye Xuan, he had already thought it through. Since Nüwa didn't care about the life and death of the Demon Tribe, he couldn't be blamed. Nüwa could only become the enemy of the Demon Tribe.
"Alright."
Ye Xuan was waiting for Donghuang Taiyi to say this. He nodded in relief.
"Donghuang Taiyi, you are a smart person. I also like to deal with smart people. Although you have led the Ancient Demon Court to submit to me, I am not a heartless person."
Ye Xuan paused for a moment. Then, he looked at Donghuang Taiyi with narrowed eyes, "Today, I promise you that you will still be the Emperor of the Demon Tribe. I will protect millions of demons. If anyone dares to humiliate and kill the Demon Tribe, they will be my enemy. I will naturally not sit by and do nothing. Even if there is a Saint blocking my way, I will definitely seek justice for the Demon Tribe."
Ye Xuan's way of controlling people was to return the favor and show mercy. This promise was given to the entire Demon Tribe by Ye Xuan. This was because Ye Xuan deeply understood that if he wanted the Demon Tribe to follow him loyally, asking blindly would only make the Demon Tribe rebel.
Right now, what the Demon Race needed the most was a protector, so he, Ye Xuan, would be the protector. Not only would he have the two Demon Emperors follow him loyally, he would also have the billions of Demon Race treat him, Ye Xuan, as their supreme faith.
"The Demon Tribe will never forget Heaven Emperor's kindness!"
Donghuang Taiyi was overjoyed. His body and mind were trembling with excitement. He hurriedly asked Emperor Jun and the others to bow three times to Ye Xuan with great gratitude.
Donghuang Taiyi had done everything for the future of the Demon Tribe. Today, Ye Xuan had made a promise to him, which was exactly what the Demon Tribe needed. How could Donghuang Taiyi not be grateful?
The two Demon Emperors had led the Ancient Demon Court to submit. This was a good thing for Ye Xuan. The grievances of the past had been resolved. From now on, the two Demon Emperors would be loyal to him.
"Follow me."
Ye Xuan said softly and walked forward slowly. The two Demon Emperors were stunned. They did not know where Ye Xuan was taking them.
"Heaven Emperor, where are we going?" Donghuang Taiyi asked.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth. He slowly looked back at Donghuang Taiyi and the others and said indifferently and calmly, "Although I helped you stabilize the Origin of the Great Way, the Bell of Chaos is your Spiritual Treasure. If you don't take it back, you can only live for 10,000 years. I don't want you to lose your life as soon as you follow me."
"This …?"
Donghuang Taiyi was stunned when he heard Ye Xuan's words. He did not understand the meaning of Ye Xuan's words. However, Emperor Jun, who was beside him, turned pale and looked at Ye Xuan in horror.
"Heaven … Heaven Emperor … Are … are you going to the Earth Palace to take back my brother's Bell of Chaos?" Emperor Jun asked in horror. Donghuang Taiyi felt as if there was a sudden clap of thunder in his head. He instantly came to his senses and looked at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression.
"Since the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is this emperor's subject and his treasure has been taken away, if this emperor doesn't seek justice, wouldn't others laugh at me, Ye Xuan, for being incompetent and not being able to protect my own subject?" Ye Xuan coldly said, then walked towards the Empress Palace with large strides.
"Big … Brother … Hurry … Hurry up and catch up with Heaven Emperor."
Emperor Jun's face was flushed. He pulled Donghuang Taiyi and caught up with Ye Xuan. The thousands of Great Demons behind them were flushed with excitement and quickly followed the three to the Earth Palace.
Earth Palace!
Seven days had passed since Earth Palace summoned all the orthodoxies. The orthodoxies had already left the Earth Palace. Apparently, Earth Palace was only using the Bell of Chaos as an excuse. How could she have the time to deal with them?
