Chapter 240: I Will Absolutely Not Tolerate the Demon Clan Harming a Single Person of My Immortal Clan!

Heavenly Realm, Judgment Divine Palace.

Inside the council hall of the Judgment Divine Palace, several robed elders sat around a circular council table.

Those present were all from the reclusive families behind the major heavenly domains of the Heavenly Realm, existences whose power could not be compared to even the nine great heavenly domain powers.

The Judgment Divine Palace was also jointly presided over by their various families.

The established duty of the Judgment Divine Palace’s existence was to maintain the peace of the Heavenly Realm, mediate disputes, punish those who violated celestial rules, and so on.

However, at this moment, the Judgment Divine Palace was facing the greatest crisis and decision in its history!

The crowd before the round table was silent, the atmosphere unprecedentedly solemn and uneasy.

The Demon Lord had led the great army of the Demon Realm to invade the Heavenly Realm again, and they were divided on whether to call upon the various sects of the Heavenly Realm to unite against the enemy, or to let the great demon army be.

After a moment of mutual silence, a middle-aged man with long, yellowish-brown hair slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and said with deep resentment:

“Everyone, the Demon Lord is simply too outrageous, showing no regard for our Heavenly Realm whatsoever!”

“If we continue to allow the filth of the Demon Realm to run rampant in our Heavenly Realm, what face will our Heavenly Realm have left in the Six Realms from now on!”

“That’s right!”

“When has our Heavenly Realm ever suffered such a humiliation!”

“Now that we have all come out of seclusion, is it possible that our Heavenly Realm’s nine great domains, with all our families and sects joined together, still cannot contend with that Demon Lord?!”

“I refuse to believe that all ten thousand sects of our Heavenly Realm, joined together, cannot defeat that Demon Lord!”

The middle-aged man’s words won the approving nods of several other clan Immortal Ancestors present.

Several of those present were Immortal Ancestors from the reclusive families of various heavenly domains who had broken through their seclusion.

They were greatly puzzled and indignant that the filth of the demon clan was actually able to invade the Heavenly Realm and plunge the entire realm into panic.

What was even more incredible was that in the Heavenly Realm today, there wasn’t even anyone who dared to answer the challenge of the demon clan…!

Since when had their Heavenly Realm become so cowardly!

Back in the day, when they were young, the Heavenly-Demon Wars were always about their Heavenly Realm invading the Demon Realm and winning fame throughout the Six Realms!

They had only been in seclusion for less than a thousand years, and the Heavenly Realm had already been reduced to being chased and beaten by the Demon Realm…?!

Looking at the several families who were eager to challenge the Demon Lord, a man sitting at the head of the round table slowly raised his arm.

The man’s disposition was calm and reserved, his appearance handsome. He seemed young, but was in fact the one who presided over the Judgment Divine Palace.

He was also the Immortal Ancestor of the Tianshu Clan, the reclusive family of the Heavenly Realm’s Central Heavenly Domain, Tianshu Xiu.

Seeing Tianshu Xiu’s signal, the crowd, which had been filled with righteous indignation, instantly quieted down and turned their gazes towards him.

If those present were the strongest reclusive families of the major heavenly domains, then the Tianshu Clan was not only the strongest reclusive family of the Central Heavenly Domain, but also the strongest reclusive family in the entire Heavenly Realm!

Therefore, the Tianshu Clan was in charge of the Judgment Divine Palace and also held the most authority.

After pondering for a moment, Tianshu Xiu said calmly:

“Everyone, I understand your determination to defend the honor of the Heavenly Realm, but the matter of going to war with the Demon Realm and making an enemy of the Demon Lord is not to be discussed further…” Ṟ₳ℕƟＢÊs̩

“Why…?!”

“Are we to just let that bunch of Demon Realm filth run rampant in our Heavenly Realm?”

Hearing these words from Tianshu Xiu, the middle-aged man angrily slammed the table, stood up, and demanded.

The others also looked at Tianshu Xiu, baffled.

The Tianshu Clan was the number one reclusive family in the Heavenly Realm, their strength beyond doubt, yet their Tianshu Immortal Ancestor was the first to show cowardice.

Tianshu Xiu placed his hands before him, fingers intertwined, momentarily unsure of how to explain to the crowd.

Those present did not know why the demon clan had suddenly and proactively withdrawn during the Heavenly-Demon War over a hundred years ago. They naturally assumed that the Demon Realm was powerless to fight on and had been successfully repelled by their Heavenly Realm.

To this day, many people in the Heavenly Realm still think the same.

However, the truth was that the Divine Realm had intervened, and after fighting with the Demon Lord for several months, the Demon Lord felt bored and only then was willing to proactively withdraw to the Demon Realm…

The Heavenly-Demon War at that time was presided over by him from the Judgment Divine Palace.

This matter was also something that Sword God Jian Xin from the Divine Realm informed him of later.

He repeatedly emphasized that their Heavenly Realm must not provoke the Demon Lord again in the future…

In order to protect the Heavenly Realm’s reputation, this matter was not announced to the public. Within the Heavenly Realm, he was the only one who knew…

Therefore, he was extremely clear on just how powerful and terrifying that Demon Lord’s abilities were…!

Tianshu Xiu let out a deep sigh and explained to the crowd with a solemn expression:

“Everyone, even if you and I and everyone else present were to join forces, we would not be that Demon Lord’s opponent…!”

“To make an enemy of the Demon Lord will surely lead only to annihilation!”

“Just now, the two lords from the Divine Realm have already sent a sound transmission telling us to simply not provoke the Demon Lord.”

The crowd: “…”

Hearing these words, the crowd was instantly shocked beyond words.

These were words spoken from the mouth of Tianshu Xiu!

Tianshu Xiu had long been publicly acknowledged in the Heavenly Realm as a person who had stepped into the Transcendent Immortal Realm and achieved godhood; it was only for the sake of protecting the Heavenly Realm that he had not chosen to ascend to the upper realm. And now even two lords from the Divine Realm were telling them not to provoke the Demon Lord.

Hearing this, the crowd had no choice but to reconsider whether they should make an enemy of the Demon Lord…

“Hmph! Exorcising demons and defending the Dao is the duty of our Immortal clan!”

“Yet now, all of you present are cowardly towards the filth of the demon clan just to preserve yourselves!”

“How pathetic!”

“If it is inconvenient for the lords of the Divine Realm to interfere, then let me!”

“I’d like to see just what kind of heaven-defying abilities that Demon Lord has that makes you all so fearful!”

The middle-aged man who had initially advocated for declaring war on the demon clan let out a cold snort, feeling extremely indignant at the silence and hesitation of those present.

“Ancestor Nieri, I know you are thinking of our Heavenly Realm’s well-being, but do not be impulsive.”

“Although the Demon Lord has led his great army to invade our Heavenly Realm on this trip, according to the reports from the major heavenly domains, as long as one does not proactively provoke the demon clan, they have not been slaughtering people at will.”

“I have already received news that the cause seems to be that someone from our Heavenly Realm provoked the Demon Lord, and he has only come for that party.”

“Once the matter is over, the great demon army should withdraw back to the Demon Realm on its own.”

Tianshu Xiu advised Nieri Zhuoyao.

The Nieri Clan was the reclusive family of the Western Wasteland Heavenly Domain. Their strength was not weak in the Heavenly Realm, and he did not want to see the Nieri Clan disappear from the Heavenly Realm in vain for provoking the Demon Lord…

After all, Nieri Zhuoyao was also an expert half a step into the Transcendent Immortal Realm.

However, Nieri Zhuoyao did not appreciate Tianshu Xiu’s good intentions and stubbornly insisted on going to war with the demon clan.

“Regardless of the reason, as long as my Nieri Clan still exists, the filth of the demon clan has no right to set foot in my Heavenly Realm!”

“Even if my Immortal clan were to attack the demon clan, that would be only right and proper!”

“Mere demonic filth, daring to step on the heads of my Immortal clan!”

“I will absolutely not tolerate the demon clan harming a single person of my Immortal clan!”

Nieri Zhuoyao’s impassioned and rousing words were inspiring, and they once again won the approving nods of several people present.

In the hearts of the crowd, the filth of the demon clan was, after all, a tier lower than their Immortal clan.

Tianshu Xiu, seeing that he could not persuade the other party, couldn’t help but sigh again to himself.

This bunch of old fellows really won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin…

Do they really have to see the terrifying aspect of the Demon Lord before they regret it…

Or should I tell them the truth about the Heavenly-Demon War from over a hundred years ago?

Just as Tianshu Xiu was hesitating in his heart on whether to tell everyone the truth, a person suddenly slammed open the great doors and shouted, pointing behind him with a face full of panic and terror:

“Lord Tianshu Xiu! This is bad!”

“The Demon Lord has descended upon the Dao Immortal Clan! The Dao Immortal Clan’s territory has been turned into a fiery purgatory, and their tens of thousands of disciples have all been annihilated!”

“And now, the Demon Lord is heading towards the Judgment Divine Palace…!
