"Saint Nuwa!"
Upon seeing this figure emerge, both the demon race present and the onlookers, who were powerful beings, cried out in surprise.
Nuwa was the first Saint born in the Primordial Heaven and Earth after Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Great Dao. Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared, she was unrivaled in the Primordial Era. Her presence here surprised everyone.
However, it made sense. Nuwa was also of the demon race and the leader of the Demon Cult. With Xu Fang acting so recklessly in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, even if Nuwa didn't get along with Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, she couldn't just stand by.
Seeing Nuwa appear, the surrounding powerful beings of the Primordial Era sighed. It seemed Xu Fang would not be able to achieve complete victory today and annihilate the demon race here.
Moreover, it wasn't just a matter of failing to achieve his goal. With the arrival of Nuwa in her Saintly form, seeing Xu Fang causing such chaos in the demon race, how could she let him go?
The demon race also realized this. Upon seeing Nuwa emerge, without a word, they all knelt down and paid homage.
"Greetings, Empress Nuwa! Empress Nuwa, you've finally come. This Xu Fang has wreaked havoc in the demon race, his sins are unforgivable. We implore Empress Nuwa to take action and slay this villain!"
"Empress Nuwa, you must uphold justice for us!"
"Xu Fang, your end has come! It's as easy as lifting a hand for Empress Nuwa to kill you. Die!"
The demons cried out. With the appearance of the leader of the Demon Cult, this great demon Xu Fang was now inescapable!
If they felt this way, how could Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi lag behind? With a flash of their figures, they appeared directly beside Nuwa.
"We pay our respects to the leader of the Demon Cult, Empress Nuwa! Empress Nuwa, Xu Fang has offended the Heavenly Court and acted with impunity. He deserves death. We implore Empress Nuwa to take action and annihilate Xu Fang to prove the might of the demon race!"
"Indeed, Xu Fang is detestable. He disregarded the Empress's authority and caused bloodshed in the demon race. We implore Empress Nuwa, in the name of the leader of the Demon Cult, to seek justice for us demons!"
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi spoke, emphasizing the importance of the leader of the Demon Cult to Nuwa, subtly reminding her.
After all, Xu Fang and Nuwa had always had a good relationship. They had to ensure Nuwa remembered her status and didn't let Xu Fang off the hook because of it.
However, the more Nuwa heard, the angrier she became.
"You offended Fellow Daoist Xu Fang first, and Fellow Daoist Xu Fang retaliated. How dare you play the victim and accuse him first?"
These words shocked not only Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi and the other demons but also the observing powerful beings.
Nuwa's words didn't sound like she was there to support the demon race, but rather to uphold justice for Xu Fang!
Nuwa didn't pay attention to others' opinions. Even if she was following the will of the Heavenly Dao to protect the demon race, Nuwa could still distinguish right from wrong and the grievances.
Looking at Xu Fang, Nuwa's expression softened considerably. With a look of apology, she slowly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, I know why you are here today. Regarding the matter of East Prince Gong, I express my regret."
"However, although I am a Saint, I am also of demon race origin. I truly cannot bear to see the demon race suffer such a great calamity, or even perish. I implore Fellow Daoist Xu Fang to show mercy."
Her words shocked everyone. A majestic Saint appeared here, yet instead of using force to suppress him, she spoke so courteously. What was this?
Xu Fang was also surprised by Nuwa's attitude and sighed.
"I naturally know why you are here, and I understand your difficulties."
"I can also stop here and leave the demon race."
Xu Fang agreed to Nuwa's request without much hesitation.
He understood that Nuwa not only wished to help the demon race out of a difficult situation but was also acting under a command from the mysterious forces in the heavens.
The fact that she could withstand such pressure and negotiate with him proved she still valued their friendship as fellow daoists. How could he make things difficult for her?
Seeing Xu Fang agree so readily, Nuwa also breathed a sigh of relief.
She had feared that this visit would lead to a falling out with Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, driving them further apart. Now, it seemed to be a good outcome.
"Very well. The demon race brought this upon themselves, and the losses this time will be borne entirely by the demon race. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, you may depart!"
Nuwa spoke. Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi immediately looked furious and protested.
"How can the demon race's losses just be written off like this?"
"Indeed, if this Xu Fang doesn't compensate properly, what will become of the demon race's reputation?"
Not only did Nuwa not speak up for the demon race, but she was now letting Xu Fang leave. This favoritism was too obvious.
Nuwa didn't indulge them. Seeing their determined attitude, she glanced at them and said coldly.
"Oh? Since you say so, then I will not concern myself with this matter. You may handle it as you see fit!"
"This..."
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were stunned. Why was Nuwa being so temperamental at this crucial juncture?
For a moment, they didn't know what to say. Xu Fang, however, readily agreed.
"Alright, alright, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please return. I want to play a bit longer."
At these words, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's faces changed drastically. If Xu Fang continued to play, even if the demon race could be saved, it would be severely weakened!
Helplessly, Di Jun said.
"Empress Nuwa, we will abide by your words in all matters."
What use was their resentment? If Nuwa truly left, they would be bombarded by Xu Fang's Treasure Separation Rock again, and they couldn't resist it.
Seeing this, the powerful beings of the Primordial Era applauded.
"Saint Nuwa is indeed just. We are in awe!"
"The Saint is righteous, and this matter has been resolved peacefully. Saint Nuwa deserves great credit."
"The demon race brought this upon themselves. It is only right that they bear the losses themselves. What more needs to be said?"
Despite Nuwa's favoritism, no one felt it was unjust.
After all, wasn't the reason Xu Fang was causing chaos in the Heavenly Court of the demon race because the demon race had first killed East Prince Gong?
Xu Fang was seeking justice for his fellow daoist this time, and it was only natural. Everyone was happy to see this happen.
Hearing the discussions of the powerful beings of the Primordial Era echoing through the heavens and earth, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were also resigned. What use was their anger? They had no support, and Nuwa was siding with Xu Fang. How detestable!
Donghuang Taiyi was too angry to speak. Di Jun, suppressing his anger with difficulty, said gruffly.
"Alright, since Empress Nuwa has said so, please Fellow Daoist Xu Fang leave immediately and do not remain here any longer."
Forget it, forget it. As long as they could get Xu Fang to leave, otherwise, if Nuwa left in anger, they truly wouldn't be able to handle the situation today.
Nuwa also nodded to Xu Fang, signaling that he could leave safely.
With her here, even if the Heavenly Dao intended to act against Xu Fang, she would definitely try to mediate and protect him.
As for the demon race, they were too disappointing. She hoped that after this, they would be vigilant and act wisely!
Xu Fang wasn't in a hurry and chuckled.
"What's the rush? I came to the demon race today to seek justice for my good fellow daoist, East Prince Gong. I haven't seen any justice yet, so why would I leave?"
Hearing Nuwa's intention, Xu Fang knew that the mysterious existence in the heavens had no intention of dealing with him, so his thoughts became active, and he refused to leave.
Even if he couldn't annihilate the demon race today, he would make them suffer heavy losses and collect some interest for East Prince Gong.
After all, East Prince Gong had died once. He couldn't just die in vain like this.
