Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 289 Jade Cauldron Immortal, You Must Help Us
Longji's words were like a boulder, stirring up a thousand waves.

Instantly, everyone's expression changed.

Taibai Jinxing was stunned by these words, and the Heavenly Court's camp was also in an uproar. They never expected that the daughter of the Primordial Emperor would say such a thing. The anti-Chinese sentiment in her words was obvious.

This is truly treasonous talk; if the Heavenly Emperor were here, probably no one could protect her.

"I wouldn't dare to be so reckless..." Yu Ding, who was standing nearby, was also stunned for a moment by these words, and then tried to smooth things over for Long Ji.

But after he spoke, he saw Longji's resolute expression.

He suddenly realized that his disciple was not joking.

At this moment, Longji's gaze was firm, no longer confused, and he radiated a kind of confidence and power...

Yu Ding stood there, stunned. He realized that his disciple had unknowingly transformed from the timid and useless little princess she once was.

This junior sister… Yuan Hong stared at this junior sister in shock, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his body trembling with excitement.

He suddenly felt a sense of regret for not having met her sooner!

"Fairy Longji's words are very well said!"

The Sixth Prince, standing not far away on the Heavenly Emperor's chariot, was overjoyed and couldn't help but cheer, "Look! The Primordial Emperor is incompetent; even his own daughter can't stand it anymore. Antarctic Immortal, Daoist Duobao, what else do you have to say?"

Daoist Duobao fell silent for a moment, glanced at Antarctica, and then his eyelids twitched, leaving him speechless.

The Old Man of the South Pole was still fondling the walking stick...

"What business is it of yours what matters to me, the Heavenly Court?"

Longji sneered, "The throne of the Heavenly Emperor belongs to the capable and the virtuous. Today, there are so many highly respected elders. Tell me, which of these two qualities do you possess?"

Beautiful, that was a decisive blow... Yuan Hong smiled. The more he looked at this junior sister, the more pleasing she seemed to him than that kid Yang Jian!

The Sixth Prince suddenly realized, his eyelids twitching as he suppressed his anger, and said, "So you've come here also to covet the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"My master once said that one can eat whatever one wants, but one cannot say whatever one wants. When did you ever hear me think I wanted to seize the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?"

Longji said calmly, then glanced at him with a sharp look, raising her sword and pointing it at him: "As for why I came... have you really forgotten that you tried to kidnap me back then?"

The sixth prince narrowed his golden eyes, and his expression turned serious.

He didn't take the appearance of these people too seriously. After all, he had schemed against them all, but their cultivation level wasn't high in the past, and they all had significant grudges against the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, he thought that even if he couldn't persuade the others to leave, he could at least prevent the three of them from siding with the Heavenly Court.

Then he realized something was wrong; none of these three guys were actually there to help the Heavenly Court.

The available positions are all their opposites.

What surprised him most was that Yuan Hong had grown to the point of causing such great obstacles in just a few hundred years.

Your Highness, how many things have you done behind my back...? Looking at Longji, who had come to seek revenge again, Ji Meng sighed silently and looked up at the sky, feeling exhausted.

He seriously doubted whether Xiao Liuzi had acted for their grand cause or to make things more difficult and create obstacles for them to repeat the glory of the demon race.

He had anticipated the resistance from the Chan and Jie schools.

But Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, Long Ji...

He never expected that among the enemies he was facing this time would be trouble caused by his own people.

He only wanted to know one thing: how many people had Xiao Liuzi offended behind his back over the years?

"So what if there are a few more of you? What do I have to fear?"

The Sixth Prince stared coldly ahead and said loudly, "The Heavenly Emperor is incompetent, and the Heavenly Court is useless. It is an indisputable fact that you have all caused great disturbances in the Heavenly Palace. If you do not relinquish the Heavenly Court today, do not blame us for disregarding Heaven's benevolence."

"Make way! Make way! Make way!"

These words greatly encouraged the demon race. The warriors, their faces radiant, shouted in unison, their voices echoing like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

This is their belief and spirit.

Hiss... The Heavenly Court's forces were stunned by this powerful aura, and both the Heavenly Court and the gods turned pale.

Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing was extremely shocked.

Because he saw the faith and spirit of the demon race, which was exactly what the Heavenly Court lacked.

Their Heavenly Emperor never considered ideological reform of the gods and soldiers in Heaven during his reign...

"How about... we give up the Heavenly Realm?"

"We absolutely cannot defeat such a powerful demon race!"

"Yeah, besides, this Heavenly Realm originally belonged to them. Now that they want it back, how can we shamelessly cling to it and make ourselves look like bad guys?"

Overwhelmed by the momentum of the demon army, the already low morale of the Heavenly Court was further dampened by voices that threatened to demoralize the troops.

"Not good!" Venus's expression changed drastically upon hearing these words.

The original Heavenly Court lacked faith and spirit, which is why it was easily defeated by powerful opponents. However, back then, there was a supreme powerhouse like the Heavenly Emperor who could keep things in check.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor has left, the gods are leaderless, and the potential dangers in the Heavenly Court will be fatal when they all erupt.

"Shut up! So many immortals have come to help us resist the powerful enemy, yet we're the ones who back down first. How can you be so shameless? Who are you to blame?"

Venus roared, causing everyone in the Heavenly Court camp to look at each other in dismay, no longer daring to whisper among themselves.

Seeing this, Taibai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had impressed everyone, and prepared to discuss countermeasures with those immortals.

At that moment, another voice sounded behind him:
"Actually... giving up the Heavenly Realm isn't impossible. We've been wrecked by those few gentlemen several times in the past thousand years."

It's long been a laughing stock in the ancient world. Why not just give up this wretched place this time, and then we can watch them make a fool of themselves when someone wreaks havoc on the Demon Court again..."

"Yeah!"

"That makes perfect sense, absolutely right!"

These words immediately resonated with all the gods and immortals.

"Havoc in Heaven..." Even Taibai Jinxing, hearing the gods' words, was speechless. Suddenly remembering something, he transmitted his voice to Yu Ding, "Immortal Yu Ding, you must help us." After all, it was this very person who caused this trouble...

"I am already helping you defend against the enemy," Yu Ding said helplessly.

Venus said urgently, "Immortal, you still need to help us!"

"Do you want to risk your life if you help me again?"

Yu Ding said irritably, "Besides, he's not a member of the Heavenly Court's staff. Helping is a favor, not helping is his right, right?"
Seeing this, Venus gritted his teeth, then suddenly remembered something and snorted, "Who taught Erlang Shen and Prince Longji?"

"You can do what's right on the first day of the month, but my disciple can't do what's right on the fifteenth. What kind of bullshit logic is that..." Yu Ding's expression changed slightly. He coughed dryly and said expressionlessly, "This matter... it's not that I can't lend a hand again."

"No matter what, Immortal, you must stop the demon race today!"

Venus gritted his teeth and gave a death order.

"You dare threaten me?" Yu Ding's gaze turned cold.

"I heard that the immortal once kept a golden-winged bird on Jade Spring Mountain," said Venus, looking up at the sky.

Yu Ding's smile softened: "How can I help you?"

"To catch the thief, first catch the king!" Venus gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Ayoukeri...are you crazy?"

Yu Ding stared wide-eyed at Tai Bai. In front of the four great demon saints and a million-strong demon army, you're telling him to capture the king first?
Venus said calmly, "The more I look at the material of Yuan Hong's weapon, the more familiar it seems to me..."

"Ahem! Brother Taibai, let's make a plan!"

Yu Ding quickly leaned over, put his arm around Venus's shoulder, and smiled.

"Immortal, please don't force yourself!" said Venus.

"Not at all forced!"

Yu Ding said righteously, "Whether it is for the sake of the Heavenly Court or for the sake of righteousness and justice in this world, I have an inescapable responsibility."

Even though the enemy outnumbers us, this humble Taoist priest will find a way to capture their leader amidst the chaos of battle…

The method left behind by the Primordial Emperor really worked... Venus looked at the jade cauldron in surprise before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

There was no other way; with the Heavenly Emperor absent, all the pressure was placed on him, and he simply couldn't bear it all alone!

Fortunately, the Primordial Emperor left him a brocade pouch...

He just hadn't expected that this immortal actually had some connection with Yuan Hong, and then he thought back to what Yuan Hong had said when he arrived...

Could it be that Yuan Hong really came from...? Taibai Jinxing looked at the righteous Yu Ding Zhenren in shock. Had he deduced some incredible secret?
That damned Venus, how did he know all this...? Yu Ding glanced at Yuan Hong's golden staff with a flicker in his eyes. It had already been refined into a finished product, yet he could still recognize the raw materials.

No, I'll ask Junior Brother Yun after this is over!

This is bad... Seeing the scene of the demon race, even Daoist Duobao couldn't help but frown. The demon army's morale has been boosted, and they are absolutely fearless.

Although it poses no threat, the excessive killing will inevitably affect us when facing the great calamity of the gods.

"Sixth Prince, you are mistaken! Today, those who defy the heavens are not us, but you."

Antarctica stepped forward, shook his head, and said, "You once fought against the heavens and the earth with the Witch Clan, shattering the primordial land and causing countless lives to perish, bringing boundless calamity and suffering to all living beings. Even with a thousand merits, it is difficult to offset this sin."

"That's right! Senior brother is right! I'll also say something fair."

The Heavenly Court may have its shortcomings, but it has committed no major faults in the Three Realms, in the primordial world, or in the lives of all living beings.

Yu Ding coughed and stepped forward, saying, "Besides, there is no perfect creature or thing in the world, just like the Heavenly Court now."

Perhaps it's not perfect, perhaps it has shortcomings and needs improvement and refinement, but we must understand one thing..."

Yu Ding's gaze swept over the people in the Heavenly Court camp: "That is a perfect management organization, which is constantly improving by correcting its shortcomings and imperfections."

"People may not realize it, but its growth and progress are actually the result of the efforts of every member of the Heavenly Court. Every contribution from everyone is great."

Some may think it's performing poorly now, but let's not forget, it is the Heavenly Court of all living beings, and it is by no means worse than the Demon Court that only serves one race..."

These words caused a stir in the Heavenly Court, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Great... does that word even apply to us?

Are we really that important?

It's confirmed... Hearing Yu Ding's words, Yuan Hong's golden eyes blazed brightly. He glanced triumphantly at Yang Jian, feeling an irresistible urge to roar to the heavens.

So, Yang Lao Er, was my analysis correct?

He had long suspected that his master possessed great love and had devoted himself to the Heavenly Court and the Primordial World.

Having heard his master reveal this today, he feels even more strongly that what he did was right, and that the Heavenly Emperor should be a benevolent and responsible deity like his master.

Outside the North Heavenly Gate, in the distance, in a cluster of clouds.

A pair of sharp eyes were fixed on them...

"Brother, the demon race's conquest of the heavens is a great event for our race!"

A voice chuckled from within the cloud: "You brought me here, so you're going to do your part to get something... Hey, why did you hit me!"

"You are a lion, not a demon."

The owner of the golden eyes said calmly, "If a fight breaks out later, you need to protect those people, understand?"

"Big brother, I am a Lion Camel hybrid, not a purebred."

The voice then identified them, saying, "Wait, those are... the Great Sage of Meishan, the Little Sage Erlang, Fairy Longji, and the Jade Cauldron Immortal?"

After a moment of silence, he asked uncertainly, "Big brother, guess... do they need a little demon king like me to protect them?"

P.S.: Guys, please give me two monthly votes!
