Chapter 116 The Demon Emperor's Charm Remains Undiminished
Upon hearing these words from the Green Lion Demon King...
All the high-ranking members of the demon race inside the hall were surprised, wondering who would come to the Demon Emperor at this time to discuss important matters.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as lightning, and asked:
"Who goes there?"
The Azure Lion Demon King dared not delay and hurriedly replied:
"Your Majesty, the visitor identifies himself as Niu Ben, a disciple of the Supreme Lord."
"Bullfighting?"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell completely silent.
The demons looked at each other, all showing surprise.
Amidst the silence, discussions arose:
"Bullfighting?"
"What is this ox doing here in my demon realm?"
"Didn't he refuse our demon race's invitation before?"
"Could it be that they've changed their minds after seeing the emergence of the sage Nuwa from our demon race, and now they want to join us?"
"That must be it."
"They really are opportunistic!"
"..."
The demon gods were speculating wildly.
Earlier, when the Purple Mansion army attacked the Bull Clan of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon God Fei Dan, after discovering this, originally thought that the two sides should fight and the fisherman should benefit.
However, after seeing Guang Chengzi unleash that banner treasure, Fei Dan changed his mind.
They recognized the treasure as belonging to Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones.
Therefore, Fei Dan appeared at the crucial moment, intending to help the Bull Clan and hoping to use the Bull Clan's affairs to curry favor with Yuan Shi.
Unfortunately, to Fei Dan's surprise, just as he was about to make a move against the Purple Mansion Quasi-Saint, Niu Ben refused.
Subsequently, Niu Ben took action, using his mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation to drive away the Quasi-Saint of the Purple Mansion.
Fei Dan was naturally shocked, and then learned that Niu Ben, the king of the bull tribe, was no ordinary person; he was actually a disciple of Tai Shang.
After bidding farewell to Niu Ben, Fei Dan immediately informed the Demon Emperor Di Jun and others about the matter.
After some discussion, Di Jun asked Fei Dan to go to the Bull Clan again and invite Niu Ben to lead the Bull Clan to join the Demon Clan's camp.
In response, the demon race offered extremely generous terms.
If Niu Ben agrees, he can become the third emperor of the demon race.
To everyone's surprise, Niu Ben ultimately refused the demon clan's invitation.
Now, Niu Ben has suddenly visited the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, saying that he has important matters to discuss with Di Jun.
In the eyes of the demon gods, it must be because they saw that the demon race had produced a sage named Nuwa, and they wanted to join the demon race.
"snort!"
"Since this ox has rejected my demon race, then so be it!"
"Brother, have someone send him away!"
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Dijun and said.
He felt resentful when he thought that Niu Ben had actually refused the invitation from the demon race.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun glanced at himself, appearing thoughtful.
"This Niu Ben is the chief disciple of Laozi."
"Logically speaking, they wouldn't have changed their minds and wanted to join our demon race just because my demon race's Nuwa became a saint."
"After all, the Supreme One was also the future sage personally chosen by the Dao Ancestor."
"Although I have not yet become a saint, I will surely attain sainthood in the future."
"So, Niu Ben might really have something important to discuss with me!"
At this thought, a resolute glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes, and he turned his gaze toward the demon god Fei Dan:
"Flying Birth".
"Go and welcome him in!"
Upon hearing Di Jun's words, Donghuang Taiyi and the other demon gods were all astonished.
Donghuang Taiyi, in particular, was completely taken aback.
"What are you doing, elder brother?"
"This ox is clearly trying to curry favor with our demon race because they've produced a saint. Why should we even bother seeing him?"
Donghuang Taiyi hesitated.
"Yes, Demon Emperor!"
At this moment, Fei Dan bowed and accepted the order before leaving.
Before long, he arrived outside the South Heavenly Gate and met Niu Ben, who was waiting there.
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, how have you been?"
Fei Dan smiled and looked at Niu Ben.
"Um?"
"Late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal?"
Upon realizing that Niu Ben's cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Fei Dan was also taken aback.
It should be noted that when Niu Ben was resisting the Purple Mansion army, his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
The fact that Niu Ben's cultivation level had improved so quickly surprised Fei Dan.
After all, once you reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, improving your cultivation level is no easy task.
"Fellow Daoist Feidan, it's been a long time."
Niu Ben said calmly.
Fei Dan smiled and got back to the main point:
"His Majesty the Demon Emperor, upon learning of your arrival in our demon realm, specifically ordered me to come and greet you!"
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
Niu Ben nodded, and then, accompanied by Fei Dan, entered the South Heavenly Gate and headed towards the Lingxiao Palace.
Halfway through the journey, Fei Dan couldn't contain himself any longer and asked directly:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, why have you come to my demon race at this time?"
"Could it be that you've figured it out and agreed to join my demon race?"
In Fei Dan's view, the demon race had shown great sincerity in inviting Niu Ben to join their ranks.
They were even willing to venerate Niu Ben as the third emperor of the demon race.
In terms of status and position, they are even above the Ten Great Demon Gods.
But Niu Ben refused.
Not long ago, Nuwa became a saint, and Niu Ben came at this time, most likely with the intention of joining the demon race.
"If he had agreed to join my demon race earlier, we could have made him our demon race's third emperor."
"But nowadays, if he were to actively want to join our demon race, we wouldn't be able to offer him such good treatment anymore."
Just as Fei Dan was lost in thought, Niu Ben, with a calm expression, shook his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Feidan, you have misunderstood."
"My visit to the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is not to join the Demon Clan, but to discuss a very important matter with the Demon Emperor!"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's reply, Fei Dan was taken aback.
"You're not here to join our demon race?"
He exclaimed in surprise, somewhat taken aback.
After a brief pause, Fei Dan quickly recovered and replied, "I see."
Before long, Niu Ben arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, led by Fei Dan.
The moment he stepped into the hall, all eyes turned to him.
"Is this the disciple of the Supreme Lord, Niu Ben?"
"It looks pretty ordinary!"
"They even rejected my demon race before, they really don't know what's good for them!"
"You've come now, wanting to join my demon race? Too late!"
"..."
The demon gods secretly grumbled, all thinking that Niu Ben had come here voluntarily to join the demon race.
The demon race had given Niu Ben a chance before, but he didn't seize it.
If they still want to join the demon race, it depends on whether they're willing to let them.
Niu Ben paid no attention to the gazes cast upon him by the demons, appearing calm and composed, with a natural Daoist aura emanating from him!
Although these demon gods were all at the Quasi-Saint level, while he was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, there was not a trace of stage fright in Niu Ben.
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben!"
"We meet again."
At this moment, the Demon Emperor Di Jun spoke first.
When he first met Niu Ben in Kunlun Mountain, he thought Niu Ben was just an ordinary disciple.
Who would have thought that the truth would only be revealed later?
This Niu Ben is actually a disciple of the Supreme Lord!
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing what Di Jun said, Niu Ben burst into laughter: "The Demon Emperor's charm remains undiminished!"
