After Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Demon Court, almost all the demon races in the world were remnants of the ancient Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes. Although they were once the rulers of heaven and earth, and the generations who held those titles were long gone, their glory was passed down through word of mouth. As a result, most of the current demon race remained stuck in their past glory.
They scoffed at the Demon Court founded by Di Jun and Tai Yi, treating it as a joke.
After Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Demon Court, scattered demon races also came to pledge allegiance.
Bai Ze, seeing the slow development of the Demon Court, said to Di Jun:
"Your Majesty, the development of our demon race is too slow. I suggest we take the initiative to conquer the major demon tribes. Only then will all the demons in the world flock to our Demon Court."
Di Jun felt that Bai Ze was right, so he sent demon generals like Bi Fang and Ji Meng to conquer the major tribes.
As Di Jun was arranging for the demon generals to conquer the various tribes, the demons around Buzhou Mountain gathered together to discuss leaving this land of strife.
Since the Wu clan was derived from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the demons near Buzhou Mountain had suffered greatly.
The Wu clan developed too quickly and was now expanding beyond Buzhou Mountain.
Previously, when there were only the Twelve Ancestral Witches, their cultivation was profound, and they disdained these minor demons. However, after the Twelve Ancestral Witches created the Wu clan, the Wu clan began to prey on demons. Now, the demons near Buzhou Mountain lived in constant fear, lest they be killed and eaten by the Wu clan if they were not careful.
Fortunately, Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Demon Court and became the masters of the demon race. They thought they had found a way to survive, but unexpectedly, the Demon Court was located in the thirty-third heaven, far beyond their reach.
So, they gathered together to discuss leaving Buzhou Mountain.
A tiger demon spoke, "Esteemed friends, the Wu clan is powerful and is now expanding beyond Buzhou Mountain. There is no longer any place for us in Buzhou Mountain!"
A bear demon chimed in, "The Wu clan possesses innate physical prowess, making them extremely strong. Moreover, they feast on our demon race daily, and thus grow stronger by the day. With the protection of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, there is indeed no place for us in Buzhou Mountain!"
An old man with white eyebrows said, "We cannot stay in Buzhou Mountain any longer. We should seek another place!"
The other demons' eyes lit up at his words. They asked the white-browed old man, "Does the Eagle King mean he has found a good place?"
The white-browed Eagle King smiled without speaking. Seeing this, the other demons quickly said, "King Eagle, please speak your mind! If we delay any longer, the demons near Buzhou Mountain may be wiped out!"
The Eagle King saw their urgency and said, "Have you forgotten Mount Ziyang! If we move to Mount Ziyang, perhaps, as fellow demons, we can gain the protection of the great Nuwa and Fuxi!"
The tiger demon still seemed worried, "Although those two are also demons, they were born from heaven and earth. I fear they may not pay heed to us!"
"But what choice do we have now? Remaining in Buzhou Mountain leads only to death. Heading to Mount Ziyang offers a glimmer of hope!"
The demons agreed that the white-browed old man was right. They gritted their teeth and decided, "We will go to Mount Ziyang. Those two at least have the appearance of demons, perhaps they can protect us!"
After the demons made their decision, they immediately set out for Mount Ziyang.
On Kunlun Mountain, after Fuxi and Nuwa departed, Li Yi immediately went into seclusion to strive for the complete stage of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Li Yi understood that both the Witch and Demon races were slowly growing stronger, and there would inevitably be friction in their future development. The first great war between the Witches and Demons should not be far off.
Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, seeing their elder brother's hard work, did not want to lag behind and voluntarily requested to enter the Chaos Bead with Li Yi for seclusion.
Li Yi was truly astonished. In the past, he was always the one pulling Yuan Shi and Tong Tian along. Now that they had taken the initiative, he felt somewhat unaccustomed!
Nuwa and Fuxi returned directly to Mount Ziyang after leaving Kunlun. As soon as they arrived, they noticed that the number of demons near Mount Ziyang seemed to have increased.
Nuwa asked Fuxi in confusion:
"Elder Brother, we haven't been away for that long! Why have so many demons appeared near our dojo?"
Fuxi was also puzzled:
"Indeed. We've only been gone a few days, yet it feels as if all the demons from near Buzhou Mountain have come here!"
Nuwa looked at Fuxi and asked, "How did you know they came from Buzhou Mountain?"
Fuxi laughed heartily, "You! Have you been cultivating so hard that you've become foolish? We were born on Buzhou Mountain. Look at that white-browed Eagle King, doesn't he resemble that little bird we saw when we first left Buzhou Mountain?"
Nuwa observed closely and found that it was indeed so!
When she and Fuxi left Buzhou Mountain, they had encountered a white-browed eagle that was exceptionally intelligent. Nuwa, being kind-hearted, had casually enlightened it, bestowing upon it spiritual wisdom and saving it years of arduous cultivation!
After arriving at Mount Ziyang, the white-browed eagle and his companions found that Nuwa and Fuxi were not present, so they waited at the foot of Mount Ziyang. When they saw Nuwa and Fuxi return, they immediately stepped forward to bow:
"Greetings, two honored seniors! Thank you for the grace of enlightenment from Senior Nuwa in the past!"
Nuwa smiled and said, "That was your fortune. You need not thank me. What is this matter of the demons in the vicinity?"
As soon as Nuwa spoke, the numerous demons following the white-browed eagle fell to their knees, weeping and lamenting, "Senior, please forgive us. We did not intend to disturb your peaceful cultivation, but we truly have no way to live!"
Fuxi's brow furrowed slightly, and he said, "Speak while you are standing. What is the matter?"
The demons quickly chattered, "Reporting to the two honored seniors, the Wu clan is too powerful and slaughters us wantonly, preying on us demons. We can no longer stay in Buzhou Mountain, so we came here..."
Nuwa's delicate eyebrows also furrowed slightly as she looked at Fuxi.
Fuxi heard their explanation and said, "So you have come to Mount Ziyang, hoping for our protection?"
The demons nodded repeatedly, "We implore the two honored seniors to save us!"
With that, they continued to kowtow to Fuxi and Nuwa while kneeling on the ground!
Nuwa, unable to bear it, said to Fuxi, "Elder Brother! Let them stay here!"
Fuxi looked at Nuwa and said, "Little sister, it's not that I am heartless, but if the Twelve Ancestral Witches were to come, even we would have to flee!"
Nuwa replied, "The Twelve Ancestral Witches would not personally come all this way for such a minor matter. Moreover, although you were born of heaven and earth, you are still part of the demon race. How can we abandon you and leave you to your fate!"
Fuxi sighed. His sister was simply too kind-hearted.
Seeing that Fuxi did not speak, Nuwa knew he had agreed. She then said to the white-browed Eagle King:
"Bai Mei, let them live here. You will be in charge of them. Do not disturb my brother and me in our cultivation!"
Bai Mei immediately said, "Thank you, two honored seniors. I will ensure they do not disturb you!"
The other demons also quickly promised:
"Seniors, rest assured, we will not!"
Seeing this, Nuwa said nothing further and returned to Mount Ziyang with Fuxi.
