“You guys don’t know yet, right? We’ve signed a treaty with the demonic beasts. From now on, we’ll mind our business and live in peace. Those demonic beasts that were originally chasing after you will not attack you anymore.”
It was a long story, but Shen Changling just picked the main point to tell them.
The disciples were dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe it and thought that he was joking. “Brother Shen, what are you saying? How could those savage demonic beasts sign a treaty with humans?”
“Ordinary demonic beasts naturally can’t, but what if there’s a great demon that can transform? Otherwise, where do you think so many organized and disciplined demonic beasts came from? There must be a great demon commanding them at the back.”
The rest of the people suddenly realized that the demonic beasts were more difficult to deal with than the ones they had encountered before. So it was because of this.
When the other disciples found out about the existence of Qian Yuan, they couldn’t help but gasp, “There’s actually a flood dragon. I didn’t expect that there would be a flood dragon exists.”
He seemed to have thought of something, and even his breathing became rapid.
Shen Changling glanced at the disciple and immediately saw through his thoughts. “I advise you to give up on any dangerous thoughts. That flood dragon’s strength is unfathomable. Even the grand elder of my sect is no match for it.”
Now that the dragon clan was extinct. The flood dragon was the creature closest to the dragon and was also a rare existence in the world. It was hard to guarantee that some people would be tempted and take the risk to attack it to obtain some treasures.
Others might not know, but Shen Changling did. With Ye Xuan’s help, Qian Yuan had long been reborn as a true dragon. Its strength had improved a lot, and its cultivation was unfathomable.
If these people made a move on Qian Yuan, they would probably suffer a huge loss.
The disciple looked embarrassed. Shen Changling’s words hit the nail on the head. He felt guilty for some reason. “Brother Shen, what are you talking about? I don’t have any thoughts about it.”
Knowing that he was trying to hide it, Shen Changling did not bother to expose him. “It’s best if you don’t. I only remind you because we’re acquaintances.”
That was all he could say. If some were not afraid of death, Shen Changling could not stop them anyway.
After learning about the entire incident, the other disciples fell silent. They had originally come here to resolve the crisis in Changping and to train themselves.
In the end, after going through so many dangers and finally reaching Changping, they were told that everything had been solved by Ye Xuan and Shen Changling. That kind of complicated feeling was not something ordinary people could understand.
They were considered geniuses in the sect and had good qualifications. But in the end, they became bystanders. They were chased by all kinds of demonic beasts along the way and almost lost their lives, but they didn’t get any treasures.
The few disciples from the Dao Seeking sect were extremely unwilling and spoke with righteous indignation, “Are we going to let those demonic beasts off just like this?”
They had a lot of people when they first set off, but they lost many people after the torment on the road and the attacks of the demonic beasts. Only a dozen people were left now. It was no wonder that they showed such an indignant expression.
“What should I do with my dead senior and junior brothers? I can’t let those cruel and bloodthirsty demonic beasts go, and I even want to live in peace with them! This is ridiculous!”
He looked around and saw that no one was speaking. His gaze fell on the other sects that had suffered casualties, trying to provoke their anger and hatred.
“How can humans and demonic beasts live in peace? Since ancient times, those who are not of our race will have different intentions. This has been a principle that has not changed for a thousand years. So many people have died at the hands of demonic beasts. We must avenge them. Otherwise, how can we face these souls that have died in vain?”
The disciple’s spittle flew everywhere as he spoke, but he didn’t notice that Shen Changling was looking at him as if he was an idiot. He said expressionlessly, “Then what do you think we should do?”
“I think we should unite and resist foreign enemies together. That’s the best plan, not for our selfish interests. We should not pretend that everything is peaceful because we are afraid of death.”
This sentence was obviously referring to the matter of signing a treaty with the demonic beasts. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with this matter.
Not only were there demonic beasts that especially hated humans, but it was also the same for humans.
Shen Changling sneered and his expression turned cold. Why didn’t he find out that there was a person with such a dirty mind?
He didn’t stop him. Instead, he said, “Alright, then according to what you’ve said, you can go and take revenge on the demonic beasts now. We won’t stop you. Let me see how capable you are.”
In Shen Changling’s opinion, this kind of person had nothing better to do. He probably hadn’t suffered enough on the road and hadn’t learned a deep lesson, so he wanted to cause trouble.
The disciple was instantly speechless. They didn’t have many people left, and even if they added the people from the other sects, they wouldn’t be a match for the demonic beasts.
After all, there were several powerful demons there. They had no hope unless Jingdu sent reinforcements.
“And have you asked those people in Changping? Did they agree?”
Logically speaking, the losses and casualties in Changping have been greater than theirs, so many people should have agreed. However, the people in Changping had experienced the beast tide attack and countless demonic beasts’ harassment. They were already traumatized by the demonic beasts.
In comparison, their current lives were simply peaceful and stable. Now that there was someone who wanted to break this peace, they instantly received the hatred of everyone in Changping, who wanted to keep them a thousand miles away.
If it wasn’t for their status, Yi Chengrui would have ordered them to be expelled from Changping. However, he could only put on an act due to their background.
“As you can see, most people are still satisfied with their current life.”
The disciples who shouted for revenge were in the minority. They were not stupid to the point where they would provoke the demonic beasts to seek revenge when there was a huge difference in strength.
Finally, there was a moment of peace.
After the matter here was resolved, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling prepared to return home. There was no need for the others to stay here too, so they followed them back to Jingdu.
