Chapter 377 - 377 The Human Race Cultivation Alliance
377 The Human Race Cultivation Alliance
The Great World.
The Heavenly Sword Sect.
The left and right protectors returned.
Before returning to the sect, the two of them found a very hidden place and continuously studied ways to solve the problem of the Gu poison pill.
Of course, they were unwilling to be controlled by He Chuan.
However, the Gu worm was too close to the heart and could not be resolved. If the Gu worm felt threatened, it would immediately counterattack.
The heart-piercing pain made them unable to use their spiritual energy. They didn’t even dare to continue trying.
However, they had given up after the first attempt.
With no other choice, they could only return to the Heavenly Sword Sect. As for the excuse, it was similar to what everyone had thought.
The two protectors were labeled as cowards, but this was not something to be ashamed of in the world of cultivation. If it were any other cultivator, they would have run for their lives.
Compared to what had happened, no one would care.
They didn’t dare to mention being controlled by He Chuan. They kept this matter to themselves. Otherwise, if Murong Fu knew, he would definitely kill them both.
The act of being a spy in the Heavenly Sword Sect was not allowed.
“He is above the fourth-rank earth realm? And you’re not too sure about the details.”
After Murong Fu and the elders heard the left protector’s story, they were extremely shocked.
It had only been a few years since the spiritual energy in the great world had been restored, but someone had actually cultivated so quickly. This situation was beyond their scope of understanding.
“It’s a good thing that the seventh elder sacrificed himself for us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to come back alive.” the left protector acted as if he still had a lingering fear and made the story very realistic.
“Just who is this Duke He? He’s actually able to develop his Dao Foundation under such circumstances and become an expert at the lower realm!” Murong Fu’s face was gloomy. He thought to himself he was “lucky” that he didn’t go to the capital to find He Chuan in person. Otherwise, he might have failed without knowing the details.
From the beginning to the end, this group of people had never thought the left and right protectors would lie, kneel down and beg for mercy without any dignity, and even become He Chuan’s spies.
However, this excuse also made everyone believe the lie that the two of them had made up.
“I didn’t expect that someone from an abandoned great world could cultivate so quickly.” The first elder who had been silent before finally spoke.
He Chuan’s cultivation was a blessing to the human race, but it was not a good thing for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
After all, Shen Changyi and the seventh elder had both fallen at He Chuan’s hands. If they turned hostility into friendship, the Heavenly Sword Sect would lose face.
However, if they didn’t reconcile, Murong Fu would have to consider a lot when facing the mysterious strong man.
If he wanted to kill them, he had to be fully prepared. Otherwise, if he let a powerhouse above level four of the earth realm escape, it would be like buying a time bomb, which might explode at an unexpected time.
Therefore, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect and Murong Fu were in a dilemma as to what they should do.
“I heard that the demon cultivators from the bottom of the ocean in the freezing cold land suddenly appeared and swept through the three islands. If internal strife were to break out in the human race now, it would probably be a disaster for the entire human race.” The second elder, who was the oldest among them, suddenly stood out. His words were a way out for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
They also needed a way out.
Humans and demons were destined to be unable to live in peace. Now, the demon race was taking advantage of the weakness of the human race and wanted to exterminate the human race.
Moreover, they were in a great world, and the alliance in the New World had probably already fallen apart. Even if they did not add insult to injury, the other sects would not help.
Thinking about it, the risk was really too great. Even the sect leader Murong Fu did not dare to take it.
But Shen Changyi and the seventh elder’s deaths… Were they going to let it go just like that?
Murong Fu let out a long sigh in his heart. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. Ever since he became the sect leader, it was rare to see such a sullen scene.
…
The Cultivation Alliance.
It was made up of the top ten cultivation gangs in the New World.
The sect leaders were all above the fourth-rank earth realm.
“I heard that the reason why the demons in the freezing cold sea are so arrogant is that a big demon is about to break through to the fifth level of the earth realm. If he can survive the nine purple thunderbolts, the human race will be in danger.” One of the sect leaders said.
Back when the human race was at its peak, the demon race was weak and unable to survive on the continent. Helplessly, they began to migrate to extremely distant lands of extreme cold.
The reason why the demon race had been hiding for hundreds of years was that they were accumulating their strength in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
When the nine prefectures cauldrons sealed the World God, the spiritual energy in the Central Plains was quickly depleted. However, the demon race in the freezing cold land profited from this misfortune. Although the spiritual energy was also gradually disappearing, there was still a trace of spiritual energy left.
The demons took this opportunity to distance themselves from the human race on the path of cultivation.
On the other hand, Sacred Soul Island, Yanhuang Island, and Floating Jade Island also had human rogue cultivators, but they were not very united. They often fought over cultivation resources, resulting in the death of some human cultivators and the demon cultivators of Floating Jade Island.
Furthermore, the three islands had fallen one after another. The demon race would advance here sooner or later. The key was that there was still a World God who had disappeared.
When they heard that a great demon was about to break through, the sect leaders present all looked troubled.
If it weren’t for the fact the various demon race fought for themselves, the human race would probably have long since ceased to exist.
As the demon race was different, the competition between the races was intense. Everyone wanted to become the ancient Demon King, and no one was willing to submit to the other.
Even the most harmonious Floating Jade Island was actually the same in secret.
The human race and the demon race were fighting openly and secretly, and the various races of the demon race were also fighting, which gave the human race some breathing space.
“It’s very difficult to break through the fifth-rank earth realm. If you are not fully prepared, you will most likely die. I think this powerful monster will most likely fail.” Murong Fu said in a deep voice.
However, no one would believe this. If he wasn’t 80% sure, why would the great demon release the news?
Murong Fu’s words were just to comfort people’s hearts and not let them panic too much, in case the alliance fell apart early.
In the face of life and death, there would definitely be people who would retreat.
There were even some people who would surrender to the enemy to ensure their safety and choose to live on in a humble manner.
If the Cultivator Alliance was backstabbed, then the hope of victory would be even slimmer.
“If it really doesn’t work, we’ll completely give up on the New World and put all our energy into the Great World. After all, the Central Plains is a treasured land nurtured by heaven and earth. The heavenly root will preserve the bloodline of the human race.” Murong Fu continued.
The Great World’s rules limited the demons’ abilities.
However, in that case, he would have to give up on the New World completely.
That place had also been opened up for hundreds of years, and many humans had followed there. After a long period of reproduction, the population of the New World was quite large.
Although the spiritual energy was not as abundant as in the current Great World, it did not affect ordinary people. Many people were not willing to return to the Great World.
If they were to give up, it would be the blood of tens of millions of people.
It was not realistic to bring all of them back to the great world, so the current plan was a little uncertain.
However, the news from Floating Jade Island was not very optimistic.
