This is so dishonest!

Chapter 326 Shen Ni Infiltrates the Primordial Myriad Races Assembly [6k]

The arrival of the Demon Ancestor Rahu added turbulence to the Peach Banquet.

A tense atmosphere permeated the entire immortal realm.

All the immortals watched as Rahu walked step by step into the Jade Terrace Immortal Palace, and the demon kings of the heavens behind him!

It's hard to tell whether he came to the meeting or to cause trouble.

"You don't need to look at me so warily."

Luo Hou laughed and said, "The Immortal Realm is holding a grand event, so it's normal for me to bring a bunch of demon kings to show my support and make it more lively, right?"

"Let's have some fun?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist said in a sarcastic tone, "Fellow Daoist, are you here to show off your power and freeload, on the side?"

“It’s fine if you want to understand it that way, fellow Daoist,” Luo Hou readily admitted.

He casually handed the innate spiritual treasure, Jingyun Bell, to a celestial official, and then sat down with Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Hongjun smiled and looked at the immortals, saying, "Guests from afar are honored. It is rare for Fellow Daoist Luo Hou to be a guest in the Immortal Realm. There is no need for everyone to be so nervous."

Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty.

"Follow the Daozu's order!"

With the bigwigs speaking, the immortals won't invite trouble.

Soon, the atmosphere in the celestial palace became harmonious.

Heavenly demons and celestial immortals drink and chat happily, while earthly demons and earthly immortals toast each other; human demons talk about the heavens, human immortals talk about the earth, and gods and demons laugh and chat.

The Yin and Yang demons on this side are singing and dancing, while the Xuanxian and Zhenxian on that side are singing and dancing.
Ghosts and immortals sat and discussed the Dao, while disease demons and golden immortals preached the Dharma.

For a time, the immortals and demons lived in harmony and were very happy!

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, come, come, let's drink this cup!"

Panwang Laozu stood next to Yin Yang Daoren, and he looked at Yin Yang Daoren with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are old friends."

"If I hadn't ultimately missed my chance to enter the immortal realm, I would be an immortal now."

The Yin-Yang Taoist said, "The gates to the Immortal Realm are always open to you, fellow Daoist!"

"If you ever come to a realization, you can become a Gu Immortal at any time!"

"No, no!"

Panwang Ancestor squinted and smiled, "Once a Demon Lord, always a member of the demonic path."

"How can one so easily switch allegiances?"

Daoist Qiankun said confidently, "Fellow Daoist will have this opportunity!"

"Really?"

The God of Light, disguised as the Spirit Heaven Demon King, sat next to the Immortal Qiankun. He asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qiankun, would you like to join my Demonic Sect?"

"Of course I do!"

Qiankun Daoist's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?
"Fellow Daoist Lingtian, would you be willing to introduce me to your sect?"

[Spirit Heaven Demon King] The God of Light was slightly taken aback, then said, "Joining my Demonic Sect requires passing the Demonic Path Test. Can you accept that, fellow Daoist?"

"We can accept it, we can all accept it!"

Both the Yin-Yang Taoist and the Upside-Down Taoist patted their chests and guaranteed: "As long as the Demonic Sect is willing to accept us, we will switch sides to the Demonic Sect now."

The immortal path is currently worried about not having an opportunity to infiltrate the demonic path!

"This..." the God of Light pondered.

The three immortals were too direct, which actually confused him.

The Dao Ancestor is sitting not far away. Is it really okay for you to so boldly express your desire to betray him?
Finally, it was the Dark Demon God, also known as the Non-Heavenly Demon King, who stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoists, you are welcome to join our Demonic Sect at any time."

"I can even give you two tests right now!"

"Which two?" the three immortals asked curiously.

The Dark Demon God, who is not the Heavenly Demon King, said, "I and Fellow Daoist Lingtian are both examiners. I examine the sins of all living beings, while Fellow Daoist Lingtian examines their merits."

"Would you three like to give it a try?"

The Dark Demon God looked at the three immortals with a broad smile.

The Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then asked, "How shall we investigate?"

"That's easy, fellow Daoists, just look at yourselves in this magic mirror."

The Dark Demon God took out a magic mirror from his sleeve and said, "This is the Mirror of Sin. You only need to recite the incantation in front of this mirror, 'Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me how many sins I have committed,' and you will be able to see your sins."

"Is it really that simple?" The three immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yes, it's that simple!"

The [Spirit Heaven Demon King] Light Demon God chuckled and took out a magic mirror: "This mirror is the Merit Mirror, which reflects the merits of all living beings. Fellow Daoists, would you like to give it a try?"

"Once you pass these two tests, the other tests will be a piece of cake for you."

The words of the God of Light carried a strong seductive meaning.

"Let me give it a try!" The Yin-Yang Taoist stepped forward and took the Mirror of Sin from the Dark Demon God.

He chanted a spell in front of the mirror: "Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me, how many sins have I committed?"

buzzing~~
The mirror trembled slightly, then remained still.

The Taoist priest frowned slightly. "Is this mirror broken?"

The Dark Demon God explained, "Fellow Daoist is a Great Luo Supreme, and the amount of information he needs to process is enormous. Please wait a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mirror in the Yin-Yang Taoist's hand began to tremble violently.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Ah—, you scared me to death! You scared me to death!"

"The Yin-Yang Taoist has committed grave sins, grave sins indeed!"

The enormous sound reverberated throughout the entire Jade Terrace Palace.

The entire room was stunned.

The entire celestial palace fell into silence.

Whether they were immortals or demons, they all unconsciously turned their gaze toward the Yin-Yang Taoist.

The muscles on the Yin-Yang Taoist's face twitched slightly, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the mirror.

crunch~~
"Ah—, I'm going to split open, I'm going to split open!"

"The Yin-Yang Taoist wants to silence us! The Yin-Yang Taoist wants to silence us!"

The Mirror of Sin screamed and yelled in an exaggerated manner.

"Oh dear, fellow Daoist, there's no need for this, no need for this." The Dark Demon God hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the Mirror of Sin.

The God of Light and the Ancestor Panwang lowered their heads, their lips curling up in a wild grin.

The burly god Razer covered his mouth and let out a "kukuku" laugh.

The numerous immortals and demon kings then pretended not to see anything and continued eating and drinking as usual.

However, almost imperceptibly, everyone's attention would converge on the Yin-Yang Taoist.

"I regret to inform you, fellow Daoist, that you have not met the assessment standards of our Demonic Sect."

The Dark Demon God looked at the Yin-Yang Taoist with a regretful expression.

"Of course, fellow Daoist, you don't need to be discouraged by this. As long as you reform yourself well in the future and do more good deeds to accumulate merit, you will still have the opportunity to be admitted to our Demonic Sect."

"Yes, yes, yes, our Demonic Cult welcomes those who repent and start anew!" The God of Light's expression was serious, not feigned.

"Hmph!" The Yin-Yang Taoist's face darkened.

He had no idea that he had been tricked by the guys in front of him!

The Dark Demon God then turned to Qiankun Daoist and Diandao Daoist: "Fellow Daoists, would you like to give it a try?"

"No need," Qiankun and Diandao waved their hands repeatedly.

The God of Light, holding the Mirror of Merit, also asked, "Fellow Daoists, wouldn't you like to try it? My Mirror of Merit can reduce the sound."

“There’s really no need. We’ve suddenly lost interest in the Demonic Cult.” Qiankun Daoist and Diandao Daoist decisively gave up.

The magic mirrors these two demon kings are holding are not just for testing purposes, they're practically death traps!

[The demonic path is indeed treacherous!]

The three immortals severed ties with the demonic path in their hearts and no longer considered joining it.

On the other side, Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat at a separate table.

"I, Taiwei Yuan, intend to lead all races to form an alliance to jointly combat the ferocious beasts. What do you think of this, fellow Daoist?" Luo Hou asked.

"Jointly fight the ferocious beast? That's a good thing! Of course I'm in favor!"

Hongjun agreed without even thinking about it.

“But…” Then, Hongjun changed the subject.

"But what?" Rahu pressed.

Hongjun smiled and looked at Luo Hou, "But isn't it a bit inappropriate for Taiwei to lead all the races?"

"Oh?"

Rahu asked again, "What's wrong?"

Hongjun said, "Since it is an alliance, the gods should plan important matters together and all races should raise the banner together. Only in this way can the combined power of the gods and all races be demonstrated."

Hongjun picked up the jade cup, slowly drank a cup of the fine wine, and then said slowly, "This matter cannot be handled favoritism towards any one family!"

"Ah."

Luo Hou nodded slightly: "What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist."

"However, since this matter was first proposed by Taiwei Yuan, we will provide the venue for the alliance of all races. Fellow Daoist, do you have any objections to this?"

Hongjun asked, "Where will Taiwei choose to hold the alliance meeting?"

Luo Hou smiled slightly and uttered two words:
"In a dream!"

"In a dream?" Hongjun's eyes flashed with surprise.

It must be admitted that Taiwei Yuan was very thoughtful, and the dream was indeed an excellent place for a meeting.

It can conveniently accommodate all kinds of living beings and gods, and saves everyone from having to travel. Everyone can simply sit inside the cave.

“Alright, we will certainly keep our appointment in the Immortal Realm.” Hongjun agreed.

"readily!"

Luo Hou laughed and said, "Three thousand years from now, my Taiwei Yuan will send an invitation. At that time, we will look forward to your presence!"

With the important matters settled, Rahu didn't rush to leave.

He seemed to be there to truly enjoy the feast, lingering over the delicious food of the celestial realm.

Hongjun didn't order him to leave; instead, he chatted and laughed with Rahu.

When things got interesting, Rahu even took out some magical treasures and artifacts for Hongjun to appraise.

Hongjun, as expected of a seasoned collector, had a very discerning eye, and he gave his evaluation of each of these divine artifacts and magical treasures as if they were his own treasures.

Luo Hou laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun is very knowledgeable and I admire him!"

Hongjun also laughed: "Fellow Daoist Luo Hou has a nice collection, I'm envious!" The two chatted and laughed as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and had endless topics to talk about.

Sanqing looked at the two getting along well and shook his head slightly.

The elder brother transmitted his voice: "[Third brother, I bet you, these two have probably sentenced each other to death eight hundred times in their hearts.]"

[To be fair, Hongjun is really quite composed.] Yu Chen Daojun had already heard about Taiwei Yuan's remarkable feat.

Putting himself in Hongjun's shoes, Yu Chen believed that he would never have been so calm and would have drawn his sword against Luo Hou long ago.

If he couldn't keep his composure, he wouldn't be Hongjun.

Xuanqing looked left and right, but did not see Yangmei Daoist.

He even sent a message to Yang Mei, but received no reply.

[Strange, where did Grandpa Liu go?]

At the same time, the ferocious beast race, which had not been at peace for long, reappeared in various parts of the prehistoric world.

This time, instead of directly instigating a major upheaval, they continued to promote the idea that "fierce beasts have their own way, and gods are in harmony with the way."

The primordial gods who had surrendered traveled among the various races and actually persuaded quite a few groups to join the ferocious beast race.

The reason is simple: all the races were observing the situation during the previous great war.

Despite the immense force exerted by all sides, Shen Ni was not killed.

That means the ferocious beast race really has something!

Moreover, after Kongming Daoren, another deity advanced to become a Daluo Supreme.

This Great Luo inherited the Dao Fruit of a true Demon God and plays a pivotal role among the ferocious beast race.

This further encouraged the Taiyi gods.

In their view, the ferocious beast race was indeed a hope for attaining enlightenment.

If this opportunity is missed, how easy will it be to attain enlightenment in the future?

In the struggle for the ultimate truth, one must either advance or retreat.

With the arrival of the Great Luo Era, who wouldn't want to condense the Dao Fruit and become a supreme being who transcends time and space and laughs at the ages?

"Take a gamble, and Taiyi will become Daluo!"

"Let's take a gamble and become Pangu on the shore!"

Once you succeed in attaining enlightenment, everything from the past is meaningless.

What if we seek refuge with the ferocious beast?
If I succeed, that will be the way I came from.

Under the influence of this trend of thought, more and more gods joined the ferocious beast race.

In addition, there is the existence of the new [True Demon God], who continuously eliminates spies within the Beast Clan, leaving behind the true surrenderers, and also uses the power of the Dao Fruit to rewrite the perception of the Beast Clan among all living beings.

This meant that the power of the ferocious beast race not only did not shrink, but gradually grew stronger.

Even after the dross was removed, the ferocious beast race became even stronger.

The demons also became increasingly cautious.

They rarely took direct charge of the affairs of the ferocious beast race. Instead, they changed identities and traveled around the prehistoric world, cooperating with Shen Ni to explore and set up array nodes.

"This time, we will set up a grand magic array that will cover the entire primordial world. While summoning fellow Daoists, we will also unleash a true calamity of ferocious beasts that will sweep across the primordial world."

Inside a certain fierce god's temple, Shen Ni was extremely excited: "Fellow Daoists, let's work hard and cheer! A world full of ferocious beasts is about to appear!"

"We will definitely be the ultimate winners!"

In the void, the phantom figures of demon gods also believed that the situation was very favorable, and they were in high spirits: "Pangu, we will definitely defeat you!"

"Hahahaha~~"

~~~~
At Kaiming Mountain, the Witch God Organization held another meeting.

[Dijiang] Shenni presided over this conference.

At the conference, [Dijiang] Shenni said with great concern: "Now I am being swept forward by the Chaos Gods, which has caused the ferocious beast race to grow stronger and stronger. All living beings in the prehistoric world are in grave danger. The entire True Realm is in danger of collapse if we are not careful. Does anyone have any ideas?"

Shen Ni is currently the leader of two forces: on one hand, he uses the title of "Beast King" to destroy the prehistoric world, and on the other hand, he uses the title of "Di Jiang" to save the prehistoric world.

He has to hold meetings like this between the two sides from time to time.

In other words, gods can manifest in countless forms, otherwise they would have developed schizophrenia long ago.

"It's difficult!"

The sorcerers sighed, "We never expected that among the Chaos Gods there would be beings like the God of Wisdom, the God of Truth, and the God of Destiny. Their combined efforts have produced unexpected results."

“A small beast race has now truly become the number one race in the primordial world.”

"Yes! Especially that True Demon God. We thought we'd be safe once he was dead, but then a new True Demon God appeared." [Zhu Jiuyin] Zhulong said with lingering fear.

"Fortunately, the new Demon God has just fused with the True Dao Fruit and is only at the first level of the Great Luo realm, not yet at the second level. Otherwise, we would have been completely exposed in front of him!"

Actually, you've already been exposed. [Shebi Shi] glanced at Zhulong without saying a word.

The true demon god's Dao fruit naturally restrains all those who are deluded.

According to Xiang Gu, all the undercover agents within the Beast Clan have now been marked by the new True Demon God, [Yuanji Zhenren].

If it weren't for the fact that [Yuanji Zhenren] followed the thread of the Witch God and traced it back to Shen Ni, and then dared not investigate any further.

The sorcerers have long been expelled.

Anyway, at the time, Master Yuanji was also quite confused.

Is His Majesty the Beast King an undercover agent?
how can that be!

[Yuanji Zhenren] once doubted whether he had not perfectly integrated the true Dao fruit, which led to the mishap.

Otherwise, how could the investigation have traced back to the Beast King?
Finally, after struggling for seven days and seven nights, [Yuanji Zhenren] found Shenni.

The expression on Yuanji Zhenren's face when he asked the question with a heart full of anxiety is still vivid in my memory.

At that time, Shen Ni didn't expect that he would actually find out.

So he could only say that the sorcerers were his own people and that they didn't need to be bothered with them.

This is how the sorcerers were prevented from being eliminated.

Of course, some of the undercover agents were not exposed.

That's the Phoenix Clan!

Because they were originally the creators of ferocious beasts.

In some ways, they are ferocious beasts.

If the new True Demon God wants to find them out, it's tantamount to denying the existence of the entire Beast Clan.

How do I check this?
There's absolutely no way to find it!
"Our intention is to infiltrate the Beast Clan and overthrow them when the time is right. If possible, we can also inherit some of the Demon God's legacy."

"But looking at it now, I have a feeling that the beast race is going to win!"

Wu Shen Tianwu said, "If the Beast Clan wins, should we continue to lie low, integrate ourselves into their ranks, and become part of the Beast Clan?"

"impossible!"

Zhu Rong declared emphatically, "I don't believe the ferocious beast race can win!"

"Why?" asked the advisor, [Shebi Shi].

"I believe in the Great God Pangu!"

Zhu Rong said, "Don't we have a script? We, the Witch God, are the true descendants of Pangu. How can we consider things from the perspective of the ferocious beast race?"

"So they have to lose!"

Gonggong nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the probability of the ferocious beast race winning is very high, but it is impossible for the ferocious beast race to be the final winner."

Houtu smiled upon hearing this: "The true lineage of Pangu is only part of our plan, and this scenario hasn't even come to fruition yet!"

"But the scenario of the inheritor of the Chaos God's legacy is about to come true."

"From the perspective of the Great Dao, it's not a loss for us to continue supporting the ferocious beast race."

"Whether the Beast Clan wins or loses, we can still try to obtain the Demon God's legacy. After all, we've all risen to the second-in-command positions in various Demon God Temples now."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the witch gods all laughed.

If the ferocious beast race is wiped out, they can actually reap considerable benefits.

[Dijiang] Shenni sighed, "It seems we can only continue to lie low and observe the situation."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Wu Luo said, "Who told us we don't have the absolute power to crush everything?"

Upon hearing this, the sorcerers sighed deeply once more.

Just then, a call came from outside Kaiming Mountain.

Are there gods living in the mountains?

"Huh? Who is this?" The witch gods all looked towards the outside of the mountain.

Outside the mountain gate, Zhen Yuanzi held the Earth Book in his hand, gazing intently into Kaiming Mountain.

"Strange, I clearly remember that before the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts began, there was an organization in this area that fought against ferocious beasts. They were quite active back then, so why have they disappeared now?"

"Could it be that they're afraid of retaliation from the ferocious beast clan, so they've changed their training grounds?"

Zhen Yuanzi waited for a while but didn't see any deities appear, so he marked an X on the Earth Book and planned to go to the next place.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

[Dijiang] Shenni led his people to welcome him.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at the imposing Shen Ni and asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Nilang laughed and said, "I am Dijiang, the leader of the Witch God Organization!"

"And who are you, fellow Daoist, and what brings you to my Kaiming Mountain?" Shen Ni asked in return.

Zhen Yuanzi said, "I am the envoy of Taiwei Yuan, the Venerable Zhenxing. I have come here to discuss something with you fellow Daoists!"

Shen Ni asked curiously, "What is it?"

Zhen Yuanzi solemnly declared: "Let's form an alliance to fight against the ferocious beasts!"

"Oh?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Shen Ni's eyes. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you've come at the right time. We deeply abhor ferocious beasts and have been waiting for an opportunity to fight back!"

"Is that so?" Zhen Yuanzi smiled. He had really come to the right place.

"Of course!"

Shen Ni smiled brightly.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go into the mountains and chat!" Shen Ni was extremely enthusiastic.

"it is good!"

Zhen Yuanzi gladly agreed to accompany him.

What he didn't notice was that several of the sorcerers were looking at him strangely.
