Chapter 580 Alliance, Advance and Retreat Together?
Shocked, Donghuang Taiyi quickly looked towards Dijun:
"This is... the aura of a saint!"
"Still two!"
Di Jun neither agreed nor disagreed with what Donghuang Taiyi said, and nodded slightly.
"They're those two from the Western Church!"
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi frowned even more deeply and said in a deep voice:
"What are they doing in my demon realm at this time?"
Di Jun glanced at him, a cold smile appearing on his lips:
"What else could they be here for?"
"Of course, it's for the purpose of joining forces."
"In the primordial world today, the Three Pure Ones are powerful and have many disciples."
"The Bull Clan boasts two Saints, especially Bull Ben, whose strength is unfathomable!"
"The Witch Clan and we are sworn enemies; there is absolutely no way we can join forces."
"The only remaining forces with sages in charge are our demon race and the Western Religion."
"These two saints of the Western Sect are never one to act without self-interest. Faced with something as momentous as the Investiture of the Gods, their best course of action to protect themselves is to form an alliance!"
After Di Jun explained it to him, Donghuang Taiyi immediately understood.
Just then, a report came from outside the hall from a demon god:
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"Two Western saints have arrived!"
Upon hearing the report from the Demon God, Di Jun gave a cold laugh and replied:
"Please!"
Soon, two figures appeared in the main hall.
The visitors were none other than the Western Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti.
Upon seeing Di Jun, the Sage Jieyin still wore a sorrowful expression, while Zhunti had a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, Fellow Daoist Tai Yi, how have you been?"
Zhunti cupped his hands and smiled.
Di Jun rose to greet him, his expression calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
After leading Jieyin and Zhunti to their seats, Dijun inquired:
"What brings you two sages to my demon realm?"
Upon hearing Di Junyan's question, Jieyin sighed helplessly and, without beating around the bush, replied directly:
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun."
"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is approaching, and all the saints will enter the trib
"Both the Western religion and the demon race have sages in power, but neither is as powerful as the Three Pure Ones."
"If we don't join forces, we'll likely suffer a great loss in this calamity."
Before Dijun could reply, Zhunti interjected:
"What you say is absolutely right, Senior Brother!"
"Without formidable strength, it's likely impossible to survive this great calamity!"
After hearing what the two said, Di Jun's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself, "It's just as I guessed."
The two saints of the Western religion came to the demon realm to form an alliance with the demon race.
After a moment of silence, Di Jun finally spoke:
"So, what you two mean is... an alliance?"
"Exactly."
Zhunti nodded and said:
"The demon race and my Western Sect have formed an alliance, exchanging goods and supporting each other."
"During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, neither the Three Pure Ones nor the Ox Clan dared to easily harm us."
Di Jun did not rush to give an answer, and fell into deep thought.
He had considered forming an alliance before.
I just haven't decided who to go to yet!
After all, the three religions, the bull tribe, and the witch tribe would not form an alliance with their demon race.
As for the Sage Nuwa and the two sages of the Western Sect, Di Jun had considered them, but had not yet made a final decision.
Nuwa, the Sage, did not have many disciples, so the Investiture of the Gods calamity did not have a significant impact on her.
However, Emperor Jun had considerable reservations about the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, from the Western religion.
After all, Jieyin and Zhunti are not good choices for an alliance.
Before they became saints, the two were recruited to the Purple Palace Immortal Court by the Eastern King Duke.
Later, a great war broke out between the demon race and the Purple Mansion Celestial Court. Jieyin and Zhunti did not care about the survival of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court. Instead, they took advantage of the chaos and abducted many of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court's creatures.
Just as Di Jun was lost in thought, Zhunti glanced slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun."
"Your demon race already has a grudge against Niu Ben."
"Do you think you, a mere saint, can stand against Niu Ben?"
"Even disregarding the fact that he is the senior disciple of the three religions and has the Three Pure Ones backing him, you still can't defeat Niu Ben alone, can you?"
As soon as the Sage Zhunti uttered these words, Di Jun's expression immediately turned ugly.
He was well aware of Niu Ben's strength.
Earlier, during the great war between the Lich King and the Lich King, Di Jun was able to attain sainthood after refining the Saint's Crystal.
Niu Ben stepped in to mediate, hoping to get the witch and demon races to stop fighting.
Upon learning this, Di Jun was naturally unwilling and decisively chose to attack Niu Ben.
Who would have thought that he would be killed by Niu Ben with a single punch.
Fortunately, he was a Heavenly Saint, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, he was finally able to be resurrected, but his cultivation level dropped to the Quasi-Saint level.
After recuperating in the demon realm for a long time, Di Jun finally managed to raise his cultivation to the Saint Realm again.
Although what Zhunti said made Dijun very unhappy, it was still a matter of strength.
With Di Jun's current strength, he is indeed no match for Niu Ben, not to mention that Niu Ben has other sages supporting him.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes, and he nodded, saying:
"An alliance is possible!"
"But you two sages, don't even think about plotting against your allies!"
As he spoke, Di Jun's gaze lingered on Jieyin and Zhunti for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti smiled slightly and replied:
"What Fellow Daoist Di Jun said is true."
"Now that we've formed an alliance, we should unite against a common enemy!"
Before Emperor Jun could reply, the Sage who guided him added:
"Junior brother is right."
"Since our Western Sect is an ally of the demon race, we will naturally advance and retreat together during the great calamity to come."
"Besides..."
At this point, the Sage of Reception paused slightly, then his gaze deepened, and he continued:
"Under the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, no one can remain unscathed."
"The alliance between the Western Religion and the demon race is mutually beneficial when they are united, but mutually harmful when they are divided."
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun should be well aware of this."
After listening to what Zhunti and Jieyin had to say, Dijun took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, before speaking:
"it is good."
"Then the alliance is settled!"
Afterwards, Jieyin and Zhunti did not linger and transformed into two streams of light, leaving the demon realm.
After the two left, Donghuang Taiyi's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Brother."
"These two saints of the Western religion are no pushovers."
"They're willing to ally with my demon race, but who knows if they have other schemes behind it?"
Di Jun neither agreed nor disagreed with what Donghuang Taiyi said, and nodded slightly.
"Therefore, even if we form an alliance with the Western religion, we must be more careful in the future."
"We mustn't follow in the footsteps of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court!"
……
On the other hand, after leaving the Bull Clan, Niu Ben did not immediately return to the Netherworld, but instead wandered around the prehistoric land.
On this day, he arrived at a place called Guanjiangkou.
"Guanjiangkou?"
Niu Ben stopped, and one person involuntarily came to mind: Yang Jian!
