Journey to the West: The Demon Emperor

Chapter 237 Ancient Secrets
"For the future of the demon race, do you have any effective ideas? Feel free to speak up."

"After all, compared to this emperor, you are more familiar with the current situation of the demon race."

After the four demon generals sat down, Li Yang began to ask them about their thoughts.

Just as he said, compared to him, a "latecomer", the four demon generals who have held power over the demon clan for endless years understand the situation of the demon clan better.

After hearing Li Yang's words, the four demon generals looked at each other, and then Bai Ze spoke first.

He is not only the leader of the demon commanders, but also the most famous wise man among the demon clan.

In ancient times, Bai Ze often served as a military strategist. He was unparalleled in wisdom and made great contributions to the Demon Court.

Compared with him, the other three demon generals are more like brainless "reckless men".

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most important thing we should do now is to try our best to get the demon master back to the demon court. Only in this way can our demon court truly face the heavenly court and the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism."

"No!"

After hearing Bai Ze's words, before Li Yang could react, Fei Lian was the first to speak out in opposition.

Ji Meng and Ying Zhao on the side also looked unwilling and obviously did not agree with Bai Ze's idea.

After all, in their opinion, although Kunpeng is known as the "Demon Master", he is actually the biggest traitor of the demon clan.

In the "War between Wizards and Demons" in ancient times, Kunpeng was the only strong one who escaped from both the Wizards and Demons.

Not to mention that when he was escaping, he took advantage of the situation and took away Di Jun's companion spiritual treasure - the River Map and Luo Shu.

They would look down upon a traitor even if he came back, and it was even more impossible for them to fight together with him again.

No one can say for sure whether the other party will turn against you again at a critical moment.

If it weren't for this reason, they would have taken all the monsters to join Kunpeng long ago.

At least, if they had Kunpeng's protection, they wouldn't have been hiding like this until now.

On the other hand, compared to the three demon generals who reacted violently, Li Yang had a thoughtful look on his face, secretly thinking about the pros and cons of Bai Ze's suggestion.

Bai Ze ignored the reactions of the three demon generals beside him and waited quietly for Li Yang to recover.

"Tell me why you gave this suggestion."

Meeting Bai Ze's gaze, Li Yang reached out to stop Fei Lian and asked.

Faced with Li Yang, the new Demon Emperor, Fei Lian, who already regarded him as the hope of the demon clan, had no choice but to stop being restless, sit down and listen to Bai Ze's reasons.

“I believe the Demon Emperor is also aware of the current situation in the Three Realms. As the orthodox of the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court not only has a sense of justice, but also has two quasi-saints, the Great Celestial Venerable and the Jade Pool Golden Mother, to suppress the four directions. Under them, there are no fewer than two hands of powerful Daluo masters.”

"In the Dao Sect, although the number of Daluo masters may not be as high as that of the Heavenly Court, there are still quite a few, not to mention the two quasi-saints Xuandu of the Human Sect and Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect."

"The Buddhist sect is even better. There are three quasi-saints, namely, Randang, Sakyamuni and Maitreya, who suppress the destiny."

"During the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, the two saints from the West recruited all 3,000 mortal disciples from the Jie Sect, which greatly supplemented the living strength of the Buddhist sect."

"These people were accepted by Jiejiao as disciples, and each of them is a person of extraordinary talent."

"Now, although my demon clan has a demon emperor, it is difficult to support the whole clan alone. With only one quasi-saint, we can only barely maintain the current situation."

"But if we can invite the demon master back, our demon clan will also have two quasi-saints in charge, and our strength will not be inferior to that of other parties."

“When the time comes, if they want to take action against the demon race, they will have to carefully consider the consequences.”

Listening to Bai Ze's explanation, Li Yang nodded slightly, and agreed with it in his heart.

As for who the strong men were, Li Yang had already known from the memory of "Emperor Gou Chen" a long time ago, and he even knew it more clearly than Bai Ze. At least, according to what Li Yang knew from the memory of "Emperor Gou Chen", there were more than just the two quasi-saints, Great Celestial Venerable and Yao Chi Jin Mu, in the Heavenly Court.

However, although he somewhat agreed with Bai Ze's idea, Li Yang still had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

There is no need to say much about the benefits, as Bai Ze’s words just now have already said it all.

But as for the disadvantages, it is nothing more than that once Kunpeng returns, he will probably compete with Liyang, the new Demon Emperor, for the "right to speak".

Don’t think that Fei Lian and the other three demon generals seem to be strongly opposed to Kunpeng’s return.

But Li Yang couldn't be sure how much of it was true and how much was false.

After all, compared to Kunpeng, Li Yang is a stranger to them.

However, Li Yang was not too worried about this.

Because, no matter how capable Kunpeng is, in the end, it all depends on strength.

In ancient times, Di Jun was able to suppress Kunpeng, and Li Yang was confident that he would not be any worse.

As long as Li Yang’s strength can suppress Kunpeng, no matter how many ideas he has, he has to hold them back.

Thinking of this, Li Yang turned his gaze to the Bai Ze in front of him, which was like a deep pool and calm as an ancient well.

"Does the Demon Marshal have a way to make the Demon Master return? After all, if the Demon Master wanted to return, he would have returned long ago, and there would be no need to wait until today."

As he spoke, Li Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at Bai Ze's face, trying to see some clues to confirm whether the other party had any connection with Kunpeng a long time ago.

Facing Li Yang's gaze, Bai Ze's expression remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, I am quite confident."

Then, Bai Ze began to explain:

"Demon Emperor, you know that Kunpeng didn't really want to hide in the North Sea, but he was forced to make this choice."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at Bai Ze, waiting for his next words.

"The Demon Emperor must also know that the Heavenly Emperor, one of the three current emperors of the human race, was once the reincarnation of the Xi Emperor of our Demon Court."

"Back then, Emperor Xi died in the war between wizards and demons. Fortunately, Goddess Nuwa took action personally, which saved his true spirit and enabled him to reincarnate."

"The reincarnated Xi Huang was chosen by the Heavenly Dao to be the Heavenly Emperor. To successfully prove his position as Heavenly Emperor, he must obtain the help of the 'Hetu Luoshu'."

"And this spiritual treasure was in Kunpeng's hands at the time."

"For the sake of Emperor Xi's future, Lady Nuwa personally took action and 'borrowed' the 'Hetu Luoshu' from Kunpeng."

Having said this, Bai Ze emphasized the word "borrow".

"Since it is a 'borrow', it will be returned sooner or later."

"But the 'Hetu Luoshu' is the most precious treasure of Emperor Xi, and it is a perfect match after the death of the former Demon Emperor. Of course, it will not be returned to Kunpeng for nothing."

"After all, the reason why Kunpeng was able to obtain this treasure was not legitimate."

"Thus, the cause and effect between Kunpeng and the Emperor has been established."

"Kunpeng certainly didn't dare to ask the Emperor for the spiritual treasure, but he was afraid that the Emperor would attack him directly in order to understand the cause and effect between the two parties, so he simply hid in the North Sea and never came out again."
