Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Chapter 273 The Slaughtering Sword Incident Begins? Preparations by All Sides

"Slaughtering humans and forging the Witch-Slaying Sword?" After hearing Taiyi's suggestion, Dijun finally regained some composure: "Second brother, you're not joking, are you?"

"Humans are our allies now. When humans and demons become one, it will be the time for me to become a saint of humanity and for humanity to break free from the control of the earth. How can we slaughter humans and destroy the friendship between the two races?"

“It is precisely because of the alliance between the human and demon races that the human race naturally needs to join us in guarding against the witch race!” Taiyi also vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but he still couldn’t help but continue to persuade Dijun: “Their strength is weak and they cannot participate in our battle against the witch race, so what’s wrong with letting them sacrifice some of their bodies and souls?”

"Moreover, we don't need to annihilate the entire human race; all we need to do is forge the Witch-Slaying Sword!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Di Jun felt his mind was in a state of confusion, as if different voices were arguing inside him: "Second brother, I know everything you're saying."

"Your brother, please think this over carefully. You cannot take any action before I have made a decision!"

After saying that, Di Jun walked towards his palace with a somewhat distressed expression.

"Ugh!"

"Brother is still too concerned about the human race and the identity of the Saint of Humanity."

"But he didn't consider that if the Witch Clan were to make a comeback, even if he truly became a Saint of Humanity, it would be difficult to protect the Demon Clan!"

"Forging the Slaughtering Witch Sword is a crucial step for our demon race to deal with the witch race!"

"Since my elder brother is unwilling to attack humans, then let me do it!"

Watching Di Jun's departing figure, Taiyi murmured to himself, and made a decision in his heart!
Soon after!

"what?"

"Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor wants us to slaughter humans and forge the Witch-Slaying Sword?"

"To prevent the witch clan from making a comeback?"

"Your Majesty, are you conscious?"

"The alliance plan between humans and demons has only just begun to show promise. Once the slaughter of humans begins, the plan will immediately fail, and we will suffer the backlash of humanity's fate!"

"Moreover, once we attack the human race, the Five Sages of Heavenly Dao and Fellow Daoist Tai Chu will definitely not stand idly by. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Heavenly Dao will get involved."

"At that time, only death awaits our demon race!"

"Moreover, the Witch Clan already possesses the entire Underworld, so why would they want to compete with our Demon Clan for control of the primordial world?"

"Even if they were to do that, neither the Heavenly Dao nor Fellow Daoist Taichu would agree!"

"If our demon race were to rashly attack the human race for such an impossible reason, we would be digging our own grave!"

"What about His Majesty the Demon Emperor? Does he share the same sentiment?"

"..."

Since Taiyi wanted to take action against the human race, he couldn't just go alone. So he summoned Kunpeng, the Ten Great Demon Saints, and other important members of the demon race and explained his plan.

But after hearing Taiyi's crazy plan, Kunpeng and the others were shocked and expressed their opposition!
Some of the demons, upon discovering that Di Jun was not there, even demanded to see him!
"Humph!"

“My brother naturally agrees with my thoughts, but he is righteous and does not want to witness the destruction of a part of the human race, so he asked me to represent him on his behalf!”

"You don't need to waste any more words. I called you here to carry out the Slaughtering Witch Sword Plan, not to refute me!"

"Or are you saying you want to disobey our brothers' orders?"

Taiyi snorted coldly and released all the pressure of his peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, pressing down on Kunpeng and the others without reservation!

Countless laws of the Great Dao surround him, and the "Chaos Bell," a supreme treasure from the creation of the world, floats above his head, manifesting a five-colored radiance that illuminates the heavens and a chaotic holy might that awes the universe!
Taiyi also displayed the domineering power of an emperor to the fullest extent!

"Yes, we dare not!"

Bai Ze and Kunpeng are far weaker than Taiyi. Under the latter's intimidation, even if they have great doubts and resistance in their hearts, they can only agree for the time being!

"very good!"

"Next, you need to do this and that..."

After seeing that Bai Ze and Kunpeng no longer objected, Taiyi nodded in satisfaction and then began to arrange the specific plans for slaughtering humans and forging the Witch-Slaying Sword.

Bai Ze and Kunpeng dared not object and could only nod in agreement!

"Alright, you can go and carry out the plan now!"

After arranging everything, Taiyi gave instructions to Bai Ze, Kunpeng, and the others.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bai Ze, Kunpeng, and the others all left the Lingxiao Palace!
"What should we do? Are we really going to slaughter a large number of humans as His Majesty the Eastern Emperor said, in order to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword?"

"What's wrong with His Majesty the Eastern Emperor? Why does he suddenly have such great hostility towards both the Witch Clan and the Human Clan?"

"And why didn't His Majesty the Demon Emperor appear? Could it be that, as His Majesty the Eastern Emperor said, he couldn't bear to see the human race suffer, so he handed everything over to His Majesty the Eastern Emperor to handle?"

"Something's not right. The two emperors clearly supported the human-demon alliance plan before."

"With the human and demon races about to become one, and His Majesty the Demon Emperor about to become a saint of humanity, why would he suddenly do something like this, cutting off his own limbs?"

"Moreover, if our demon race were to attack the human race under the guise of forging the Witch-Slaying Sword, we would likely become enemies of the entire world and face the danger of annihilation!"

After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, Bai Ze, Kunpeng, and the others shook their heads frantically, their expressions extremely solemn.

Although they did not know why Taiyi would suddenly launch the Slaughtering Witch Sword Plan, they only knew that the demon race might be facing a life-or-death crisis!

"Regardless of the circumstances, the Slaughtering Witch Sword Project cannot actually begin, but we also cannot openly defy His Majesty's decree now!"

"How about this, Demon Master, please go to Tianyuan Mountain immediately and inform Fellow Daoist Taichu about this matter, and ask for his opinion."

"I will go to find Fuxi, who is still searching for an opportunity among the human race, and then we will go together to Nuwa's Palace to seek the help of the goddess Nuwa."

"No matter how irrational the two emperors are, they can't possibly disregard even the words of the Goddess Nuwa, can they?"

"During this process, the rest of you can outwardly obey His Majesty the Eastern Emperor's orders, but you must use various excuses to delay!"

After a moment's thought, Bai Ze offered his own solution.

"Okay, I'll go to Tianyuan Mountain right now!"

Upon hearing Bai Ze's idea, Kunpeng immediately nodded in agreement.

Then he wasted no time and rushed to Tianyuan Mountain as fast as he could!
"We understand now!"

"We will stall for time as much as possible and wait for news from the Demon Master and Bai Ze!"

"But you'd better hurry, otherwise once His Majesty the Eastern Emperor personally comes down to supervise the battle, we're worried we won't be able to hold out for long!"

"..."

Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and the others were aware of the seriousness of the matter and readily agreed.

then!

Bai Ze quickly headed to the human race, while Ji Meng and Ying Zhao also began to try to buy time!

Kunlun!

Tianyuan Mountain, Central Hall! "That's how things are!"

"Please, Fellow Daoist Taichu, help us!"

After arriving here as quickly as possible, Kunpeng immediately told Taichu what had happened and made a request.

"Slaughtering humans and forging the witch-slaying sword?"

"Has Taiyi gone mad?"

"Has Di Jun also gone mad? He's not stopping Taiyi at all!"

Before Tai Chu could say anything, Tian Yan spoke up in shock.

She originally thought that now that the alliance plan between humans and demons was initially completed, the two races should work together to fight against all external enemies.

Even if it were Taiqing and Hongjun, they could only try to do things from the outside.

But Tianyan never expected that at such a critical moment, Taiyi would actually plan to attack the human race and even adopt the same attitude as when dealing with the witch race.

How is this different from suicide?
"Ah!"

"This truly underestimates Hongjun's abilities!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it must be Hongjun who used the power of the Heavenly Dao to influence Taiyi and Dijun's thoughts; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have done such a foolish thing!"

In contrast, Qinglian seemed to understand something and sneered.

After all, the Wu Clan had been affected by the Heavenly Dao more than once, almost ruining the important event of the Earthly Path's emergence!

So it's not surprising that Hongjun is now using the same old tricks again, directly influencing the thoughts of Dijun and Taiyi!

Moreover, otherwise, Taiyi's sudden crazy behavior cannot be explained.

"Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao... So that's how it is!" After hearing Qinglian's words, Kunpeng also understood: "They really have ruthless methods!"

"They actually used this method to make the human and demon races kill each other, thereby achieving their plan to prevent the alliance between the two races!"

“That’s understandable.” Tai Chu said without much surprise, “If Hong Jun and the others take strong measures and directly interfere with the alliance between the human and demon races, they will inevitably face enormous resistance.”

"Even if we succeed, we will suffer some of the backlash from our humanitarian efforts."

"But if conflicts arise between the human and demon races, then things will naturally be different!"

"It's even possible that Hongjun not only influenced Dijun and Taiyi, but also the thoughts of some people on the human race."

"Only in this way can we truly provoke a war between the human and demon races!"

"So what should we do now?" Kunpeng's expression was grim, and his tone was somewhat anxious. "We can't just watch Hongjun's conspiracy succeed and really start a war between humans and demons, can we?"

"Of course we can't just stand by and watch!" Tai Chu immediately said, "Let's go to the human race's territory now and see if anyone there has really been affected by Hongjun."

"It's best if there isn't one; if there is, awaken it!"

"If the demon race really attacks, we can stop them!"

"Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I would like to trouble you to go to Nuwa Palace and inform the Goddess Nuwa of this matter, asking her to go to the Demon Clan and awaken Fellow Daoists Dijun and Taiyi!"

“Okay!” Kunpeng nodded quickly.

Then he sped up again and headed towards the Nuwa Palace.

"Hongjun and his group are truly treacherous. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Kunpeng's composure and immediate arrival to find us, the great war between the human and demon races would probably have already begun by the time we found out!" Tianyan immediately shook his head and commented after Kunpeng left.

"Ah!"

"Isn't Hongjun just such a treacherous and cunning person?"

"Don't forget, he schemed against the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans during the Dragon-Han Calamity, and he also schemed against Yin Yang, Qian Kun, and Yang Mei during the Dao-Demon War, and he also..."

Qinglian sneered again, indicating that she was not surprised by Hongjun's attitude!
"Let's not delay any longer, shall we head to the human race's territory now?"

Tai Chu didn't comment on Hong Jun any further, but instead spoke up.

Tianyan and Qinglian naturally did not object to this.

After all, they didn't want to actually see a war between the human and demon races!

On the shores of the East Sea, dwell the human race!
"what?"

"Is His Majesty the Eastern Emperor going to take action against the human race?"

"Why did it become like this?"

Fuxi, who was originally searching for an opportunity to prove his Dao among the human race and had already made some progress, was greatly shocked when he heard what Bai Ze said.

Not only that!

"Humph!"

"Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions; the demon race certainly harbors ill intentions towards us humans!"

"In the past, many of our compatriots became food for certain demon races. Are we going to forget these deep-seated hatreds just because of the so-called human-demon alliance?"

"What kind of alliance between humans and demons? It's utter bullshit!"

"Perhaps this is just a tactic used by the demon race to bewitch people and lower our guard."

"It might not be long before the demon race raises its swords against us!"

"..."

Fuxi and Bai Ze also quickly noticed that some ominous voices were gradually emerging among the human race.

Even the three ancestors of the human race, Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao, seemed to have some dissatisfaction with the human-demon alliance plan.

"Strange, so very strange!"

"I once spoke with the three ancestors of the human race, and they clearly supported the human-demon alliance plan. Why did they suddenly change their minds?"

This change shocked Fuxi even more.

A deep sense of unease welled up inside me!

"Xi Huang, now is not the time to investigate the cause!" Bai Ze said to Fu Xi with some anxiety and worry, "Once the war between the two races begins, it will definitely not be a good thing for either the human race or our demon race!"

"Yes, I understand what you're saying!" Fuxi nodded solemnly and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, please take my Fuxi Qin to Nuwa Palace immediately and ask Nuwa to stop the two emperors."

"Let me see if I can find a way to change the humans' mind."

"Moreover, when the demon army attacks, I can also stop them and delay them for a while!"

With that, Fuxi handed over his most precious treasure, the "Fuxi Qin," to Bai Ze.

Although Nuwa should know what to do immediately after learning what happened, Fuxi thought it would be better to send Bai Ze to Nuwa Palace with his token!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go to Nuwa Palace right now!"

Without hesitation, Bai Ze took the Fuxi Qin and rushed to the Nuwa Palace as fast as he could!
