Chapter 240
Fairyland, Judgment Temple
In the parliament hall of the Judgment Temple, several elders in robes sat around the parliament round table.
Everyone present was from the hidden families behind the major fairy domains in the fairy world. Their strength was unmatched even by the nine major fairy domains in the fairy world.
The Judgment Temple was also jointly presided over by their families.
The responsibility of the establishment of the Judgment Temple was to maintain the peace of the fairy world, mediate disputes, punish those who violated the fairy rules, and so on.
However, at this moment, the Judgment Temple encountered the biggest crisis and choice in history!
Everyone in front of the round table was silent, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious and uneasy.
The Demon Lord led the army of the demon world to invade the fairy world again. They had differences of opinion on whether to call on the various sects in the fairy world to unite to fight the enemy, or to let the army of the demon world go.
After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man with long brown hair punched the table, stood up and said angrily:
"Everyone, the Demon Lord is really going too far and doesn't even take our fairyland seriously!"
"If we continue to allow the evil demons to do whatever they want in my fairyland, how will my fairyland have any face among the six realms in the future!"
"That’s right!"
"My fairy world has never suffered such humiliation!"
"Now that we have all come out of seclusion, could it be that even if all the nine realms of our fairyland and all the sects join forces, we still cannot defeat the Demon Lord!"
"I just don’t believe that all the sects in my fairy world can’t defeat the Demon Lord when they join forces!"
The words of the middle-aged man drew the nods of approval from several other family ancestors present.
Several of the immortal ancestors present were immortal ancestors who had broken through the barriers of the hidden families in the fairy domains.
They were very confused and indignant that the evil of the demons could actually attack the fairy world and make the entire fairy world panic.
What’s even more incredible is that there is no one in the fairy world who dares to challenge the people in the demon world...!
When did their fairy world become so cowardly!
Back then, when they were young, the battle between the immortals and the demons was always their fairy world that broke into the demon world and became famous in the six realms!
They have only been in seclusion for less than a thousand years, and the immortal world has already fallen into the trap of being chased and beaten by the demon world...?!
Looking at the people who were eager to challenge the demons... A man sitting at the front of the round table slowly raised his arm.
The man has a calm and introverted temperament, handsome appearance, and looks young, but he is actually the host of the Judgment Temple. He is also the ancestor of the Tianshu family, Tianshu Xiu, a hidden family in the Zhongtian Immortal Domain of the Immortal Realm.
Seeing Tianshu Xiu's gesture, the indignant crowd suddenly quieted down and turned their eyes to him.
If it is said that everyone present is the strongest hidden family in the major immortal domains, then the Tianshu family is not only the strongest hidden family in the Zhongtian Immortal Domain, but also the strongest hidden family in the immortal world!
Therefore, the Tianshu family is in charge of the Judgment Temple and has the most say.
After pondering for a moment, Tianshu Xiu said lightly:
"Everyone, I understand your determination to defend the reputation of the fairy world, but don't talk about going to war with the demons and becoming an enemy of the Demon Lord.…"
"Why…？！"
"Are we just going to let those evil demons do whatever they want in our fairy world?"
Hearing what Tianshu Xiu said, the middle-aged man angrily slammed the table and stood up to question.
Others also looked at Tianshu Xiu in confusion. The
Tianshu family is the first hidden family in the fairy world, and their strength is unquestionable, but the Tianshu Immortal Ancestor was the first to be timid. Tianshu Xiu crossed his hands in front of him, not knowing how to explain to everyone for a while.
Everyone present didn't know why the demons suddenly retreated in the battle between the immortals and demons more than a hundred years ago. Naturally, they thought that the demon world was unable to fight again and was successfully repelled by their fairy world.
To this day, many people in the fairy world think the same way..
However, in fact, it was the God Realm that intervened. After fighting with the Demon Lord for several months, the Demon Lord felt bored and was willing to return to the Demon Realm on his own initiative...
At that time, he was in charge of the battle between immortals and demons in the Judgment Temple.
This was also later told to him by the Sword God Jian Lian of the God Realm.
He repeatedly emphasized that they should not provoke the Demon Lord in the future...
In order to protect the reputation of the Immortal Realm, this matter was not announced to the public, and he was the only one who knew about it in the Immortal Realm...
So he knew very well how powerful and terrifying the Demon Lord was...!
Tianshu Xiu sighed deeply, looked at everyone solemnly and explained:
"Everyone, even if you and I joined forces, we would not be a match for the Demon Lord....！"
"If you become the enemy of the Demon Lord, you will surely perish!"
"Just now, the two masters of the God Realm have sent a message to us not to provoke the Demon Lord."
Everyone:"…"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked beyond words.
These were the words spoken by Tianshu Xiu!
Tianshu Xiu had long been recognized by the Immortal Realm as a person who had entered the realm of absolute immortality and godhood. He just chose not to ascend to the upper realm in order to protect the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, even the two masters of the God Realm did not want them to provoke the Demon Lord....
After hearing this, everyone had to reconsider whether to become an enemy of the Demon Lord.…
"Humph! Exorcising demons and defending the Way is the duty of our Immortal Clan!"
"Now everyone here is just afraid of the evil of the demons in order to protect their own safety!"
"How sad!"
"Since the masters in the divine world are unwilling to intervene, let me do it!"
"I want to see what kind of extraordinary ability that Demon Lord has that makes you so afraid!"
The middle-aged man who first advocated declaring war on the demons snorted coldly, and was very angry at the silence and hesitation of everyone present.
"Ancestor Nieri, I know you are thinking about my fairyland, but don't be impulsive."
"Although the Demon Lord led the demon army to invade our fairyland, according to reports from various fairylands, as long as you don't actively provoke the demons, they will not kill you at will."
"I have heard the news. It seems that someone in my fairy world has provoked the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord is here just for the other party."
"As long as the matter is over, the demon army should retreat back to the demon world on its own."
Tian Shuxiu advised Nieri Zhuoyao.
The Nieri family is a hidden family in the Western Wilderness Immortal Realm, and its strength is not weak in the immortal world. He doesn't want the Nieri family to disappear from the immortal world in vain because of provoking the Demon Lord...
After all, Nieri Zhuoyao is also a strong man who has reached the level of a half-step immortal. However,
Nieri Zhuoyao did not understand Tian Shuxiu's good intentions and insisted on going to war with the demons.
"No matter what the reason is, as long as my Nezhi family still exists, the evil demons will not be qualified to set foot in my fairyland!"
"Even if my immortal clan attacks the demon clan, it is only natural!"
"How dare a mere evil monster step on the head of my immortal race!"
"I will never tolerate the demons harming anyone from my immortals!"
Nieri Zhuoyao's impassioned words inspired everyone, and immediately attracted several people present to nod in approval.
In everyone's mind, the demons are ultimately inferior to their immortals.
Tianshu Xiu couldn't persuade the other party, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These old guys really won't cry until they see the coffin...
Will they really regret it if they see the terrifying power of the Demon Lord...
Or should they tell them the truth about the battle between immortals and demons more than a hundred years ago?
Just as Tianshu Xiu was hesitating whether to tell everyone the truth, a man suddenly broke open the door, pointed behind him with a face full of panic and fear, and shouted:
"Lord Tianshu Xiu! It's bad!"
"The Demon King descended upon the Taoist clan, and the Taoist clan’s land turned into a sea of fire and purgatory, with tens of thousands of disciples all destroyed and killed!"
"Now the Demon Lord is heading towards the Judgment Temple…！"
