Now, even if Kunpeng wanted to join a Sage or Haotian's Celestial Court, they might not dare to accept him. Who knew if he was a pawn arranged by River Styx? Thinking of the smile on River Styx's face when he left, Kunpeng couldn't help but shudder.
Kunpeng cursed in his heart. River Styx had given him back his freedom, but it was no different from not giving him back. Now, all parties in the Great Desolation believed that he had something to do with River Styx. Who would dare to accept him? Now, there were only two paths in front of Kunpeng. He could either perish on his own or join River Styx.
River Styx was obviously forcing him to make a choice. Kunpeng gritted his teeth angrily. He transformed into a roc and flew directly to the Northernmost Sea. He plunged into the Northernmost Sea and transformed into a kun. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vast Northernmost Sea.
Although Kunpeng had disappeared, the storm he caused had not subsided. It was not only because Kunpeng was a veteran Quasi-saint expert in the Great Desolation, but also because he was in contact with River Styx. Even the Sages couldn't help but wonder why Kunpeng wanted to meet River Styx. Or perhaps, River Styx wanted to meet Kunpeng.
Those who had been in contact with River Styx were all doing well in the Great Desolation. Moreover, their cultivation was among the best in the Great Desolation. Just look at Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun. Both of them were now at the peak of Quasi-saint level. One was the master of the Earth Immortal's Abode, and the other was the ancestor of the Human Race. Wasn't this enough to explain the problem?
… ….
In the Wahuang Heaven, Nüwa saw Kunpeng swagger out of the Blood Sea. Her face turned cold and murderous. Although Kunpeng was a Demon Master, he had left Fuxi in the lurch during the battle between the Liches and the Demons. Nüwa had long wanted to kill him.
However, Kunpeng was the Demon Master of the Demon Race after all. Now that the Demon Race had declined, there were not many masters left. If she killed Kunpeng, it would be cutting off one of the Demon Race's arms. Considering the big picture, Nüwa could only suppress her desire to kill Kunpeng.
But now, Kun Peng had secretly gone to the Blood Sea and walked out openly. In particular, his aura was fluctuating. Obviously, he was injured, and his Primordial Spirit was injured. Nuwa could not help but think of a possibility. That was, Kun Peng had split a part of his Primordial Spirit and handed it to Minghe.
She had to admire Nüwa's imagination, but it was reasonable. If Kunpeng knew that Nüwa had such an idea, Kunpeng would have wanted to kill himself. However, Nüwa was not the only one who thought so. Even the other Sages thought so too. This possibility was the most suitable for Kunpeng's situation. Kunpeng had no way to explain himself.
Thinking of this, Nüwa's heart was filled with killing intent. In fact, Nüwa had always had some hope for Kunpeng. After all, after Di Jun and the Donghuang Taichi died, Fuxi was reincarnated as a human. As a Sage, she could not always look after the Demon Race. Although there was still Di Jun's son, Lu Ya, among the Demon Race, Lu Ya's cultivation was not enough to intimidate all the Demon Race. Moreover, he could not bear the pressure that the Demon Race faced.
Lu Ya was the last Golden Crow of the three races in the Great Desolation. Since birth, he had the cultivation of a Xuan Immortal. When he was ten days old, he was already a Golden Immortal. Then, Hou Yi shot the sun and luckily survived. He was sent to Nüwa by Di Jun and cultivated for tens of thousands of years. Now, he had the cultivation of a late Daluo Jinxian.
Although there were very few Quasi-saints in the Great Desolation and Quasi-saints rarely moved around, Daluo Jinxian was already an expert. However, Lu Ya was still far from becoming the Demon Race's Emperor. Putting aside his cultivation, just his reputation among the Demon Race alone was not comparable to Kunpeng and Bai Ze.
Even if Bai Ze was willing to assist Lu Ya because he was Di Jun's bloodline, Lu Ya's cultivation and reputation could not subdue all the Demon Race. Even Bai Ze and Kunpeng could not do this. If Nüwa intervened, it could be done. However, in that case, how could Lu Ya be considered the Demon Race's Emperor?
Originally, Nüwa had always hoped that Kunpeng would come to her to offer a humble apology. She would naturally forgive Kunpeng for the sake of the Demon Race's overall situation and let Kunpeng cooperate with Bai Ze to assist Lu Ya. With their help, Lu Ya would be able to open up the situation among the Demon Race.
However, Nüwa had never expected that Kunpeng would not choose her, the Demon Race's Saint, but to seek refuge with River Styx. How could Nüwa tolerate this? During the battle between the Liches and the Demon Race, Kunpeng had deserted the battlefield and was already a traitor to the Demon Race. Now that he had sought refuge with River Styx, it was a complete traitor. How could this not arouse Nüwa's killing intent?
In the main hall of Emperor NvWa's Palace, besides Nüwa, there was another youth. This youth had delicate features and a heroic aura that threatened one's soul. He faintly had the air of a ruler. He was Di Jun's tenth son, Lu Ya. Lu Ya's face was filled with rage. Clearly, it was also because of Kunpeng.
In Lu Ya's view, Kunpeng seeking refuge with River Styx was an indisputable fact. Naturally, he was extremely furious. As the Demon Race's Crown Prince, Kunpeng had abandoned him and sought refuge with someone else. This was a true act of rebellion. Lu Ya was naturally furious. However, with his Daluo Jinxian's cultivation, how could he possibly be a match for Kunpeng if he wanted to kill Kunpeng?
However, after sensing Nüwa's faint killing intent, Lu Ya had an idea. He said furiously, "Your Highness, Kunpeng has betrayed the Demon Race and sought refuge with Patriarch River Styx. This is truly a treacherous act. I implore Your Highness to take action and kill Kunpeng to appease Father and Mother in heaven."
Hearing Lu Ya's request, Nüwa's killing intent instantly vanished. Looking at the furious Lu Ya, Nüwa said calmly, "Lu Ya, you're oversimplifying things. If Kunpeng really sought refuge with River Styx, River Styx would definitely not sit by and watch if I wanted to kill Kunpeng. This matter is not clear yet. It's better for us to sit back and watch."
Hearing Nüwa's words, Lu Ya naturally understood that Nüwa was afraid of River Styx. However, if Nüwa did not take action, it would not be easy to kill Kunpeng. Even if he found Yao Sage Bai Ze and Bai Ze was willing to help him, Kunpeng would not be able to succeed. As such, Lu Ya was naturally unwilling to accept this.
Nüwa naturally understood Lu Ya's unwillingness, so she said, "Lu Ya, I know you're unwilling to accept this, but this is the Great Desolation. Strength is everything. Instead of feeling resentment, why don't you turn this resentment into motivation for your cultivation? When you have enough strength, you can unite with your father's former subordinates and kill Kunpeng. Using this, you can establish your prestige among the Yao Race and ascend to the position of Yao Emperor. This is what you should do. When the time comes, even if River Styx wants to save Kunpeng, I will stop him for you. Moreover, I'm afraid River Styx will not do such a thing."
Lu Ya naturally understood Nüwa's meaning and gradually suppressed the anger in his heart. If what Nüwa said was true, it would indeed be the best. However, to have the strength to kill Kunpeng, it was not something that could be achieved in hundreds or thousands of years. It would be impossible to achieve it without tens of thousands of years.
However, since Nüwa did not take action, Lu Ya had no choice but to obediently return to his residence, close the door, and concentrate on his cultivation. However, Lu Ya's mind was restless and could not focus on his cultivation. Just as his thoughts were running wild, he suddenly thought of something. This thing might be able to help him kill Kunpeng. Thinking of this, Lu Ya could not help but smile, but there was infinite murderous intent hidden in his smile.
… ….
Compared to Nüwa's murderous intent, the other Sages did not think so much. Sanqing was just a little worried that River Styx might have some other scheme. Since it involved Kunpeng, it was probably not a small matter. Could it be that he wanted to meddle with the Monster Race? The Monster Race had Nüwa. Even if River Styx used the name of the Monster Master of Kunpeng to meddle with the Monster Race, it was unlikely that he would achieve anything big. This did not seem like River Styx's scheme at all. What exactly was River Styx planning? They really could not figure out.
On the other hand, the Two Sages of the West were a little regretful. If it were not for Nüwa and Sanqing, they would have already tried to rope in Kunpeng to their West. Although they might not succeed, there was still a little hope. Now that Kunpeng had most likely sided with River Styx, it was obvious that they had no chance.
As for Houtu, he was also a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have fallen out with River Styx over the matter of the Human Emperor. Now, River Styx seemed to have roped in Kunpeng. Although he did not know why, at least River Styx no longer had any friendship with the Wu people. Even if Houtu wanted to repair his relationship with River Styx, it was probably impossible now.
As for Zhen Yuanzi and Cangjie, although they both hated Kunpeng, they were now probably related to River Styx. Originally, they planned to wait for Cangjie to fully familiarize himself with his current cultivation before going to Kunpeng to settle accounts. Now, they could only temporarily put aside their hatred for Kunpeng, so as not to ruin River Styx's scheme. Inadvertently, Kunpeng had one less disaster.
