CHAPTER 937: CHAPTER 956: DEMON ANCESTOR’S DISCIPLE

"Come in."

Fu Xi hesitated slightly before inviting Gu Beichen into Fire Cloud Cave, after all, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and the Human Clan’s Three Emperors didn’t want to offend him too much. If they didn’t give him any face at all, it would be as if they completely disregarded Luo Hou.

Tap—Tap—Tap!

Gu Beichen strolled into Fire Cloud Cave, his expression neither humble nor arrogant. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, he was no longer the passionate young man he once was; he had become a shrewd old master, possessing a cultivation that stood proudly over the Three Realms, achieving the position of a Quasi-Saint.

The words "Quasi-Saint" are easy to say, but truly stepping into this realm is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. No one knows how Gu Beichen endured these hundreds of thousands of years, but he still managed to achieve the position of a Quasi-Saint with great perseverance.

Proud and dignified, with the might of a Quasi-Saint, he showed no trace of panic even in front of the Three Emperors of the Human Clan. When Gu Beichen stood before the Three Emperors, he simply bowed, which could be considered a salute to them.

"Disciple Gu Ruochen, I have come today on my master’s order to pay respects to the Three Emperors of the Human Clan. This is a letter my master asked me to deliver. I hope the three elders can take a look."

Gu Beichen flipped his hand, producing a letter, and solemnly presented it. Fu Xi frowned as he received it and began to read.

Fu Xi read the letter swiftly, taking only a few breaths, but his expression gradually darkened, and cold glints occasionally flashed in his eyes.

"My master asked me to relay a message to the three elders: if the Three Emperors of the Human Clan are willing to lend the Power of Human Dao, his elder self would agree to any conditions, even if it means helping Nuwa slay Ye Xuan without any issue."

Gu Beichen smiled as he spoke, and when he saw Nuwa, he nodded kindly, making Nuwa clench her fists slightly, with her eyes revealing a hint of inexplicable brilliance.

"Hmph."

Suddenly, Fu Xi threw the letter in his hand to the ground, his expression turning extremely cold, and he decisively refused, "Go back and tell Luo Hou, we the Three Emperors of the Human Clan know what he is thinking. The Power of Human Dao is used to suppress the fortune of the Human Clan and can never be lent to him. He should give up on this."

"As for the vendetta between Nuwa and Ye Xuan, it has long been resolved. His attempt to take advantage of the chaos is nothing but wishful thinking." Fu Xi coldly rebuked.

"Go back and tell Luo Hou, if he continues to be unruly, he will surely repeat the great calamity of the past. If he provokes Dao Ancestor Hong Jun to emerge, he might face the danger of annihilation and dispersion of his Dao." Shennong coldly echoed.

"Our Human Clan can enjoy endless peace precisely because we suppress the fortune of the Human Clan in Fire Cloud Cave. The Power of Human Dao is not exclusive to us, the Three Emperors of the Human Clan. Luo Hou, being one of the chaos demon gods, wants to take advantage of our Human Clan’s fortune, that would be putting our Human Clan in a deadly situation. Let it not be said that we, the Three Emperors of the Human Clan, regard him as an enemy." Human Emperor Xuanyuan spoke in anger.

"Three elder brothers, perhaps...!"

Nuwa was about to say something, but met with Fu Xi’s icy gaze, making Nuwa’s eyelid twitch and forcing her to swallow her words.

"I am just a messenger, and since the three elders have made their decision, I dare not ask for more. But before I left, there was something I wasn’t sure whether to say!" Gu Beichen smiled slightly and said.

"What do you want to say?" Fu Xi asked coldly.

"Haha!"

Gu Beichen laughed lightly and said, "I just lament that the Three Emperors of the Human Clan can never leave Fire Cloud Cave, and that even though Nuwa’s Saint Position was struck down and she suffered great humiliation, you three elders can only endure this indignity. Isn’t this a colossal joke?"

"Bold!" Fu Xi scolded in embarrassment and anger, but unfortunately, Gu Beichen showed no fear and continued as he pleased, "What a pity, what a pity, a dignified three great alternative achievers, and a former saint of the Heavenly Dao, are intimidated by a Ye Xuan. It seems my master overestimated you all."

After saying this, Gu Beichen directly turned and walked towards the exit of Fire Cloud Cave, while Nuwa and the Three Emperors of the Human Clan were ashamed and angry, a furious storm of emotions rising inside them, yet ultimately, they did not lay a hand on Gu Beichen, allowing him to leave just like that.

Though they were mocked, Fu Xi and the others understood that what the other party said was true, leaving them unable to refute it. Moreover, the other party was just a disciple of the Demon Ancestor; if they bullied the weak, it would not only anger the Demon Ancestor but also tarnish their reputation if word got out.

"Big brother, what that kid said is right. My Saint Position was taken, and we can only hide in Fire Cloud Cave. This is a great humiliation. Why not lend the Power of Human Dao to the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou? With his ability, he could certainly eliminate Ye Xuan." Nuwa finally lost control over her shame and anger, and pleaded with Fu Xi aloud.

"Silence!"

Slap!

Fu Xi was extremely angry, and with a backhanded slap, left a clear five-finger-red mark on her cheek, and Nuwa looked at Fu Xi dazedly, covering her cheek, never expecting that Fu Xi would slap her.

"Do you know that the Power of Human Dao is the essence of our Human Clan, the foundation of suppressing the clan’s fortune? If we lend the Power of Human Dao to Luo Hou, how will the fortune of the Human Clan in Fire Cloud Cave be suppressed?"

"Do you want to become eternal sinners of the Human Clan, plunging the entire Human Clan into a state of disaster?" Fu Xi, extremely enraged, sternly rebuked Nuwa, a look of resentment and disappointment in his eyes.

"Nuwa, do you not understand?"

Shennong sighed sadly, "How could Fu Xi not want to seek justice for you? He is your own brother, but the fortune of the Human Clan is of great importance. Luo Hou is clearly using you to sow discord among us. If we lend the Power of Human Dao to him, he might keep his promise to eliminate Ye Xuan. Without the suppression of the Power of Human Dao, the fortune of the Human Clan in Fire Cloud Cave will dissipate, and inevitably, our Human Clan will be drawn into this catastrophe."

"Nuwa, Luo Hou is one of the chaos demon gods, and he is treacherous and sinister. He has no good intentions, and the Power of Human Dao is too significant to allow him to take advantage of it." Human Emperor Xuanyuan sighed.

"I understand now!"

Nuwa let out a bitter laugh, stumbling out of Fire Cloud Cave, her aura extremely desolate, while Fu Xi trembled slightly, powerlessly waving his hand, as if he had aged several years.

"Brother Fu Xi, Nuwa is, after all, discontent with falling from her Saint Position, you need not feel sorrow or guilt." Shennong patted Fu Xi’s shoulder to comfort him.

"Darkness has arrived, the Heavenly Dao collapses, this calamity has already begun. Although my little sister was once a saint, she has never experienced any hardships, now fallen from grace, I fear she may lose her mental balance and make another grave mistake." Fu Xi whispered bitterly.

"Big brother, rest assured, as long as we, the Three Emperors of the Human Clan, eternally suppress Fire Cloud Cave, no matter what calamities occur outside, the legacy of our Human Clan will forever endure, and with our care, Nuwa will eventually let go of her hatred." Human Emperor Xuanyuan comforted.

"Let’s hope so!"

Fu Xi gazed with sorrow at Nuwa’s retreating figure, sighing in mournful regret.
