Chapter 442 Di Jun's Intentions! Joining Forces?
Soon, Niu Ba led his men to the void above the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Upon seeing Niu Ba appear, Di Jun smiled broadly and said:
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Bull Overlord!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ba gave a forced smile and replied indifferently, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
Niu Ba didn't have a good impression of the Demon Emperor Di Jun.
After all, there was a considerable rift between Di Jun and Niu Ben.
The last time Di Jun came to the Bull Clan, he brought Donghuang Taiyi and the demon army with him, and even destroyed the Hunyuan Wuji Array above the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Their purpose, of course, was to snatch people away, to take the two goddesses of the moon, Xihe and Changxi, away.
Fortunately, Niu Ben returned at the crucial moment, and the Three Pure Ones appeared to support the Niu Clan, which forced the demons to retreat.
Seeing Niu Ba's cold attitude, Di Jun looked slightly embarrassed.
After a slight pause, he finally spoke:
"What's wrong?"
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ba, won't you invite me to have a seat within the Niu Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ba paused for a moment, thinking that it would be inappropriate to simply turn away Di Jun, who had come to the Niu Clan in person.
After a moment's thought, he came to his senses and stepped aside, saying:
"Please!"
As they spoke, the Bull Clan's protective formation activated.
Seeing this, Di Jun didn't stand on ceremony and jumped down directly.
Before long, Di Jun arrived at a grand hall, led by Niu Ba.
No sooner had he sat down than Niu Ba cut to the chase and asked:
"What brings Your Majesty the Demon Emperor to my Bull Clan at this time?"
"They probably didn't come all this way to congratulate me, did they?"
Upon hearing Niu Ba's question, Di Jun remained composed, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes before he replied:
"Fellow Daoist Bull Overlord."
"Since you've asked, then I won't keep you in suspense any longer."
"I have come here to discuss an important matter with you, fellow Daoist: to forge an alliance between the demon race and the bull race!"
"If you are willing, fellow Daoist, I can grant you the throne of an emperor within the demon race, a position within the demon race that is... equivalent to mine!"
"What does Fellow Daoist Niu Ba think?"
As he spoke, Di Jun looked straight at Niu Ba with a serious expression.
Originally, he thought that if Niu Ba agreed, Niu Ba's status in the demon race would be second only to his, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate.
After all, Niu Ba is no longer the patriarch of the Niu clan who only had the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. He is now a saint who has attained enlightenment, just like him.
In addition, his son Niu Ben was a Hunyuan Daluo who attained enlightenment through his own efforts.
If Niu Ba were to join the demon race and be forced to submit to him, Niu Ba would certainly not agree.
After hearing what Di Jun said, Niu Ba's expression immediately became serious, and he fell into deep thought.
"I never imagined that Di Jun would come to my demon race to form an alliance with my bull race!"
"Why did you come so sooner or later, but only after I had attained sainthood?"
"Di Jun must have many plans in mind!"
Niu Ba muttered to himself.
Earlier, he had thought that Di Jun's personal visit to the Bull Clan at this time must be for some important matter, perhaps he was thinking of winning over the Bull Clan.
Now it seems that it was just as Niu Ba had thought.
After a brief moment of thought, Niu Ba came to his senses and smiled calmly:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid... I'll have to disappoint you!"
"Our Bull Clan has no intention of getting involved in any battles. We only hope to have a corner of this primordial world where we can settle down and make a living."
"So, let's just forget about this alliance!"
Niu Ba wasn't stupid; he knew that the demon race and the witch race were blood enemies.
When the war between the Lich King and the Demon King broke out, it was Niu Ben who appeared and stopped the fighting between the two races because of the invasion of the Devouring Universe Realm by external enemies.
Fortunately, the demon race and the witch race were sensible enough not to continue the war.
Now, Di Jun has already attained sainthood.
The same applies to Dijiang, the ancestral witch of the Wu tribe.
At this point, the strength of the two races returned to a balance.
Di Jun's attempt to form an alliance with the Bull Clan at this time was clearly aimed at disrupting the balance.
Niu Ba had no interest in the conflict between the demon race and the witch race, nor did he want the bull race to be involved.
Besides, he never really liked Di Jun.
Even if Di Jun offered a very generous deal, such as making him an emperor of the demon race with a status equal to Di Jun's,
But this didn't appeal to Bull King.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Niu Ba's refusal, Di Jun was slightly surprised, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He originally thought that with such conditions he had offered, Niu Ba would surely be tempted.
Even if you wouldn't agree immediately, you shouldn't refuse so decisively.
After a moment of stunned silence, Di Jun quickly snapped out of his daze and stared intently at Niu Badao:
"Fellow Daoist Bull Overlord."
"Don't be so quick to refuse!"
"Alright then, whatever your request is, just say it!"
"As long as it is within the capabilities of my demon race, I will certainly not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ba smiled faintly and shook his head, saying:
"Your Majesty, you'd better stop wasting your breath!"
"I have already made myself very clear, and I will not change my mind."
Upon hearing Niu Ba's words, Di Jun's expression immediately turned serious, and the anger in his heart was ignited.
……
Meanwhile, the fact that Di Jun went to the Ten Thousand Mountains was noticed by many powerful beings in the prehistoric world.
"Oh?"
"The Demon Emperor Di Jun actually went to the Bull Clan!"
"Why go to the cattle tribe at this time?"
"Need I say more? It's definitely to win over the Bull Clan."
"That's right. Now that the Bull Clan's patriarch, Bull Ba, has attained sainthood, if the Bull Clan can form an alliance with the Demon Clan, they can easily defeat the Witch Clan!"
"This demon emperor's plan is quite clever."
"I wonder if Niu Ba will agree to Di Jun's request?"
"In my opinion, it's unlikely. There's already some animosity between the Bull Clan and the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!"
"That's right, back then Di Jun led the demon army to besiege the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"If it were me, I would agree to form an alliance with the demon race."
"Not necessarily! If Di Jun offers enough benefits, the Bull Clan might just form an alliance with the Demon Clan!"
"..."
Many powerful beings from the primordial era were discussing this amongst themselves.
At this moment, in the Pangu Temple, where Buzhou Mountain is located.
Xuanming and the other ancestral witches were overjoyed.
Dijiang's attainment of sainthood will bring about earth-shattering changes to the entire Wu tribe.
After Dijiang offered his congratulations, the ancestral witches calmed down a bit.
Then, the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang said with a solemn expression:
"Big brother!"
"When the Demon Emperor Di Jun went to the Bull Clan, it was highly likely that he went there to win them over!"
Upon hearing this, the other Ancestral Witches' expressions turned ugly.
"snort!"
"That scruffy bird Di Jun is fast; he must have gone to win over the Bull Clan!"
"If the Bull Clan were to join the Demon Clan, it would be extremely bad news for our Witch Clan!"
"Do you think Bull Demon King will agree?"
"..."
The ancestral witches exclaimed in surprise and doubt, feeling uneasy, as they were unwilling to see the bull clan and the demon clan form an alliance.
