Chapter 258 Is it okay?
"I apologize to you both! I hope you can be magnanimous!"
After saying this, the demon, who was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, bowed deeply to Jieyin and Zhunti.
Upon hearing this, Jieyin simply smiled and shook his head, saying humbly, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Our cultivation is still shallow, so it is normal for you to have such thoughts! As for forgiveness, there is no need to mention it. My brother and I did not take it to heart, so how could there be any talk of forgiveness?!"
Just then, Zhunti, who was standing to the side, smiled and echoed, "My elder brother is right, we didn't take it to heart."
However, although Zhunti said this, he glanced at the demon without leaving a trace.
He thought to himself, "This person is quite sensible!"
Zhunti originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill this person.
But now that this person has sincerely apologized, Zhunti should be magnanimous!
The demon clan's Great Luo Golden Immortal was unaware of what Zhunti was thinking.
However, after hearing what Jieyin and Zhunti said, a look of emotion appeared on their faces.
I felt incredibly ashamed.
These Jieyin and Zhunti are too kind. Why did he look down on them before just because their cultivation was inferior to his?
He deserves to die!!
The guide keenly sensed the deep-seated guilt surging within this person's heart.
A slight smile played on his lips, revealing a kind and comforting expression, as he spoke softly and gently:
"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to feel ashamed. As long as you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the upcoming battle with that Demon Court, that will be enough. You should know that we are all members of the Demon Clan, and we should be united in our hatred of the enemy and work together to deal with that Demon Court!"
Upon hearing the guide's earnest words, the demon at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm nodded with a sigh of relief and quickly replied:
"Thank you both for your magnanimity and reminders, Fellow Daoists Jieyin and Zhunti. I have understood. From now on, I will strictly follow your instructions and never dare to be negligent in the slightest!"
At this point, the powerful demon paused slightly, then his eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp, sweeping over everyone present like two beams of cold light.
"Anyone who is dissatisfied with the leadership of fellow Daoists Jieyin and Zhunti will have to get past me first!"
……
In the Lingxiao Palace.
Kunpeng suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, recently, both within our Heavenly Court and within the demon race, there has been a sudden influx of foreign beings seeking to join our ranks. Does Your Majesty have any plans for these beings?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun frowned immediately.
It's worth noting that if this had happened before the inner demon tribulation erupted, Di Jun would have been overjoyed to hear such news.
However, at this very moment, the inner demon calamity has fully erupted, and the entire Heavenly Court has been drawn into it. Countless demons are dying every day, which was already enough to give Emperor Jun a headache.
Now that so many more beings want to join, their demon race's karma will likely intensify even further.
This will likely make their situation even more dire!
Moreover, Di Jun was very clear about this.
These creatures who came seeking refuge did not genuinely want to join their demon race or even the Heavenly Court.
They simply realized they were caught in a trap and were looking for refuge.
But now, even their Heavenly Court is struggling to protect itself, so where can they find protection?
Even if he could provide protection, Di Jun would not want to protect these people burdened with heavy karma!
However, just as Di Jun was pondering how to deal with it, he couldn't help but recall the grand words he had uttered when he founded the demon race.
After all, when he founded the demon race, he said that the path of demon cultivation and the practice of demon energy were all for the demon race!
If we reject them now, even if we survive this great calamity, we may still face difficulties.
In the eyes of the ancient world, Di Jun might be seen as a fickle and treacherous person.
This would be beneficial for him and the entire demon race.
This is undoubtedly another heavy blow.
For a moment, Di Jun was caught in a deep dilemma.
After thinking for a moment, Di Jun still asked, "Does the Demon Master have any suggestions?"
Kunpeng lowered his head slightly in thought, and after a long while, he raised his head and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, in Kunpeng's opinion, these people should be accepted, otherwise it will not be good for the reputation of our Heavenly Court and the demon race. However, we cannot accept them all. We will only accept those with lighter karma. As for those with heavy karma, we will not accept them. After all, our Heavenly Court does not accept just any scoundrels!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Xi, who had been quietly maintaining her composure, immediately frowned slightly. "But Demon Master, this will inevitably incur the resentment of those beings who have not been accepted. If any of them harbor dissatisfaction or raise objections, how should we deal with them?"
Kunpeng couldn't help but sneer: "They bear such a huge burden of karma and sins that they have already tarnished the name of our demon race and the Heavenly Court. We have already shown them mercy by not causing them any trouble. If anyone dares to object, I, the Demon Master, will personally lead people to annihilate them after this great calamity ends!"
After Kunpeng said this, no one present had any objections.
Seeing this, Di Jun nodded slightly, "Then let's do as you say, Demon Master!"
"Kunpeng obeys!" Kunpeng cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave.
After Kunpeng left, Dijun looked down at Bai Ze and Taiwei.
He paused for a moment before finally speaking, "My two ministers, have you come up with any solutions to the current situation? These demons are avoiding direct confrontation and are always engaging in sneaky, underhanded activities. How can we prevent them from easily infiltrating our bodies?!"
Although Di Jun's voice was still loud, if you listened carefully, you could detect a faint sense of fatigue that was not easily noticed.
He was completely different from when the great calamity had not yet occurred.
Xihe and Changxi, who were standing nearby, also sensed the weariness in Dijun's words and felt a pang of heartache in their hearts.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately stepped forward, bracing himself against everyone's gaze, and spoke softly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the reason why the demons were able to easily merge into our bodies is because of the heavy karma within us, which allowed the demons to exploit the loophole!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun sighed, "Alas... as you say, the karma of our demon race is indeed too heavy. But the problem is, this karma has already been incurred, and we have no way to resolve it. If the power of the Crimson Sun Mirror in my brother Donghuang's hands and the Imperial Seal in my hands were still intact, it would be fine, as they could easily suppress and eliminate most of the karma."
"But now that the power of our most precious treasures is limited, it will be difficult to eliminate the karma on our bodies!"
Upon hearing this, the people of Heaven immediately lowered their heads in dismay.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze made a startling statement: "Although the power of the Imperial Seal in Your Majesty's hands is limited, its grade remains. As a treasure for suppression, it still has room to maneuver! What if we transfer all the karma on the demon race to the Heavenly Court and the spirit of the demon race's destiny, and then have Your Majesty's Imperial Seal suppress it? Would that work?!"
