And yet what he did today did not resemble his past behavior; instead, it seemed as if someone had surreptitiously meddled!

The person behind this simply regards him as a pawn, seeking to lure me into the game!

But which fellow disciple's doing could this be?

"What?"

Cai Feng Fairy cried out in astonishment, her expression filled with shock: "Does her grace mean that this is the work of a Saint?"

Nuwa did not answer but merely glanced quietly at her.

Cai Feng Fairy suddenly realized.

This matter was beyond her qualification to inquire into, and she shouldn't even listen to it.

She should be like the Green Bird beside her, silently standing there, acting merely as an observer.

At this moment, Nuwa's voice came.

"Bring me that Golden Gourd."

Cai Feng Fairy shuddered and quickly appeared on the Luan Chariot, taking a glittering treasure gourd and presenting it before Nuwa with both hands.

The golden exterior of the treasure gourd was decorated with various patterns including running Exotic Beasts, predatory birds fighting, Great Demons swallowing the sun and moon, and Demons stirring up dark clouds. A single glance was enough to intimidate the spirit, as if in one's ears roared the shouts of Demon Gods and the cries of ferocious birds.

Nuwa's lustrous jade-like right hand gently brushed it, and the gourd's mouth flew open on its own.

In the next moment, a stream of golden light burst forth from the mouth of the gourd; although only as thick as a thumb, its height exceeded four to five zhang.

On the golden light appeared a banner, radiant and dazzling with numerous auspicious colors.

The banner's pole robust as palace beams, its surface billowing; amidst the ambiguous haze were the black and white energies, within which tiny green tadpole-like characters swam back and forth.

This banner was known as the "Evil Summoning Banner."

It was said to be a secret treasure of the Ancient Demon Court and the symbol of the ruler of the Demon Clan, which could command all myriad demons of the Three Realms.

Wherever one might be, a gentle flutter of the banner would compel every child of the Demon Clan who sensed the banner's aura to come and obey orders.

This treasure, lost during the war between the Witch Demons, was desired by countless Immortal Gods in the Three Realms who sought to command the Demon Gods of the Three Realms and rebuild the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

But nobody could have imagined that this treasure would end up in the hands of Nuwa.

At this moment, with an outstretched hand, Nuwa made the Evil Summoning Banner automatically fall into her palm.

Holding the banner, Nuwa gave it a gentle shake, and instantly within the Divine Temple bitter winds howled, mournful fog enveloped, dark clouds converged, and thunder rumbled drearily.

A strange fluctuation surged to the heavens, with the Divine Temple as the center, swiftly dispersing and spreading in all directions.

...

In the middle of the Southern Continent, there are three large tombs.

One is Taihao's Tomb, another is Shennong Jia, and the last is Xuanyuan Hill.

These three tombs were built by the Human Race in memory of the three Saint Emperors of the ancient Human Race who had ascended to the heavens on dragons.

Here, incense burns without cease year after year, with an endless stream of the Human Race coming to worship.

As time passed, these three tombs accumulated profound Human Dao Destiny and Incense Fire Wish Power, transforming into a place of cultivation favored by many Immortal Gods.

They not only attracted Human Race Cultivators but also other races.

These Alien Race Immortal Gods borrowed Human Dao Destiny to cultivate and become connected with the Human Race's fortune, subtly turning into guardians of this place, without causing rejection from the Human Race's Cultivators.

For example, on a mountain outside Xuanyuan Hill, a Nine-tailed Fox, a Nine-headed Chick, and a Jade Pipa Spirit often perched.

The Nine-tailed Fox had achieved enlightenment as far back as the Dayu Era, and the other two were not far behind.

The three sisters swallowed Sun Essence and Moon Light here, absorbing the Human Dao Destiny of this place, their Dao Xing profound and unfathomable.

On this day, the three sisters sat on the peak as usual, looking up at the Bright Moon in the sky, ingesting the Moonlight.

Suddenly, an unusual aura swept over from afar, and the three Demon Gods simultaneously showed a change in expression, uncontrollably dashing in the direction of Chaoge. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

Similar events took place within tens of thousands of miles centered on Chaoge.

Countless Demon Clan Immortal Gods rose to the skies, disappearing into the vast heavens.

At the same time, Nuwa's Luan Chariot quietly hovered above the Divine Temple, but lay unseen and unheard by mortals.

Only those numerous Demons who felt the summons and hastened here could see this sacred chariot, all descending from the clouds and halting their Tunneling Light. Whether they were Demon Gods or Demon Kings, all prostrated on the ground, daring not to utter another word.

Below the Saint, all are mere ants; these are not mere empty words.

They rarely have the chance to see the Saint's presence, yet they dare not approach to pay their respects, only able to bow and worship from afar.

Nuwa sat within the Luan Chariot, her gaze sweeping over the many Great Demons and minor monsters kneeling before her, and quickly formed a plan in her heart.

She looked at the Demons and said lightly, "Since you have been cultivating within the Human Race territory, you should abide by the laws of the Human Race and not cause trouble arbitrarily, or else misfortune will be inescapable!

Xuanyuan Tomb's three Demons, stay; the rest of you may leave."

The Demons cried out in unison, "We shall heed the Lady's decree!"

In the next moment, the Evil Summoning Banner returned to the Golden Gourd and the sinister aura also dissipated.

The Demons hurried here, and now could only hurriedly leave.

"What is this all about?"

Many a Demon God with profound Dao Xing felt dejected.

They thought that this meeting with the Saint would be a heaven-sent opportunity, a pivotal moment for them to change their fate and ascend to the peak of their demonic lives.

Unexpectedly, they had simply come to make an appearance and then were sent away again.

Many Demon Gods looked towards the three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb with extreme envy as they left, guessing in their hearts that Nuwa must have retained them for some phenomenal stroke of fate.

At this moment, the three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb were both excited and anxious.

Under the guidance of the Fairy Cai Feng, they came to the front of the Luan Chariot with trepidation and respectfully bowed in worship, saying, "We pay homage to you, Lady, wishing you eternal divine longevity!"

Nuwa looked down at them and calmly said, "You have been cultivating at Xuanyuan Tomb for a long time and acquired a bit of the Human Dao Destiny, which happens to serve my purpose. Would you be willing?"

The Nine-tailed Fox and the other two Demons exchanged glances and saw the light of surprise in each other's eyes.

To carry out tasks for the Saint, what grand honor and blessing that would be!

To say nothing of the rewards after success, just the ability to form a good relationship with the Saint was enough to make even a Daluo Golden Immortal chase after it eagerly.

Thus, the Nine-tailed Fox and the other two Demons did not hesitate for a moment and spoke in unison, "To serve the Lady is our fortune; you may command us as you wish, and we sisters will do everything in our power!"

Nuwa nodded slightly and said earnestly, "King Di Xin's fate dims, and he shall lose the kingdom.

Such is the will of Heaven, dictated by destiny.

You three are to hide your demonic form, take refuge in the palace, and bewilder the mind of the king!

Remember, you must not harm the loyal and good, nor take lives.

After the deed is done, you shall all be rewarded and may go to cultivate in the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven and attain the true fruits of the Human Path."

At these words, the Nine-tailed Fox was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed, "This minor Demon will abide by the Lady's decree!"

The Chick Spirit and the Jade Pipa Spirit also quickly knelt and said, "We will heed the Lady's decree."

Nuwa nodded slightly.

"Go now! Remember my teachings; you must not kill or harm!"

The three Demons respectfully kowtowed again and then rose and retreated.

After they had turned into three beams of light and vanished, Fairy Cai Feng glanced at Nuwa, and then at the direction the three Demons had left in, seemingly wanting to ask something but not daring to speak.

Nuwa glanced at her and said indifferently, "Ask what you want to ask."

Fairy Cai Feng, as if receiving amnesty, hurriedly asked, "This servant wishes to know, since the Lady already knew that what happened today with King Di Xin was a trap set by others, why did you choose to enter the game anyway?"

Nuwa said lightly, "If I did not enter their plot, how could I draw out the one behind it all?

Moreover, the scheming this time bears a striking resemblance to the Witch Demon's massacre from before.

Having encountered it, there is no reason for me to avoid involvement!

As for King Di Xin... his fate dims and such a calamity is due; he cannot blame me!"

Fairy Cai Feng nodded her head and felt no sympathy for King Di Xin in her heart.

Even if there were reasons behind his actions, the act of composing a poem to insult the Saint was a fact.

Not to directly execute him, but to turn their plan against them by sending the three Demons to confuse his mind, was already a great act of grace!

Indeed, the Lady is most merciful.
