Jiang Chen looked down at the cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, his mind deep in contemplation. 'These people... they are nothing more than a disorganized mob!'
'The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star actually dispatched such a group to the Immortal Martial Continent?'
'It's not entirely surprising. They must believe that the Immortal Martial Continent has been completely taken over by the demon race, so they've merely sent these expendable individuals to gather information.'
At that moment, a man named Shao Ji, who was in the Transcendence realm, barked out an order, his formidable aura immediately pervading the surroundings. "All of you, shut your mouths!"
Without hesitation, everyone sealed their lips, too intimidated to utter another word.
Shao Ji scanned Zhu Zhihai and the others, speaking in a condescending tone. "I'll be the one questioning you. What is the current situation in the Immortal Martial Continent? Who is orchestrating the grand scheme of things?
How much territory has the demon race's army claimed? What cultivation realm has their leader attained?"
Being a Transcendence realm cultivator born and raised in the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, he regarded the Immortal Martial Continent, an incredibly barren place, with contempt. The people here were mere ants in his eyes.
'That tone and attitude...' Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, a fleeting expression of disdain crossing his eyes.
The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star had betrayed the Immortal Martial Continent, neglecting it for over a million years, and now they were begrudgingly sending people. Yet the individuals they sent were a chaotic and unruly bunch, their arrogance insufferable.
However, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
As the ruler of the Immortal Martial Continent and as the Villain, how had he found himself in conflict with the protagonist Mo Hao?
In the original plotline, was it because the inhabitants of the Immortal Martial Continent held resentment towards the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, and thus, by extension, offended Mo Hao as well?
'Mo Hao's heaven-defying trump card is still unknown,' Jiang Chen pondered.
'First, I will play along with them and exchange information!' With this in mind, he swiftly conveyed his instructions to Zhu Zhihai below using his divine sense.
"Hmph! What of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star? This is the Immortal Martial Continent!" Zhu Zhihai responded with an ice-cold expression, spurred on by Jiang Chen. "You wish to learn our information?
Then exchange yours first!"
"What? You dare to speak to me in such a manner?" Shao Ji's brow furrowed deeply, but then he seemed to remember something, and his expression relaxed somewhat. "Fine, considering we are all of the human race. This is not the place to talk; shall we move elsewhere to discuss in detail?"
Hearing this, the other Transcendence realm cultivators present nodded in agreement.
In the assessment of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, the Immortal Martial Continent was initially thought to have been entirely occupied by the demon race.
But now, since the Immortal Martial Continent hasn't been fully conquered by the demon race, it signifies that the continent still retains some strength.
At the very least, there are undoubtedly cultivators of the Transcendence realm present.
They came to gather information, hoping to earn recognition through meritorious deeds, and then return to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star. There was no need to provoke unnecessary conflicts with the local inhabitants.
"Detailed discussion? Hmph, I'll return your words to you, and I'll reluctantly agree, seeing as we are of the same human race," Zhu Zhihai retorted, acting under Jiang Chen's guidance.
"Then please lead the way," Shao Ji responded, a hint of disdain in his heart but maintaining a broad smile on his face.
"Let's go," Zhu Zhihai commanded, turning towards the headquarters of the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect.
'Then, his departure alone is likely to attract someone who wants to take advantage of the situation, only to be humiliated and then killed in return!' His eyes flickered, and his divine sense swept over the group from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.
Instantly, he found a group of cultivators with extremely low Fate Value, including an Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator with a scarred face.
The Fate Value of this group was so low that it had reached a critical level, a point where disaster was almost certainly imminent.
'These people are merely experience fodder for Mo Hao.' Jiang Chen slightly nodded, keeping some of his divine sense on this group of soon-to-be victims.
Monitoring this group of doomed supporting characters would reveal protagonist Mo Hao's movements!
Meanwhile, another part of his attention remained on Zhu Zhihai and the others.
Soon, Zhu Zhihai and his group, along with Shao Ji and a large crowd, arrived at the headquarters of the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect.
Surveying the surrounding desolate environment and the cold, empty buildings, Shao Ji and the others didn't need to guess to understand that most of the sect's members had perished at the hands of the demon race.
Next, Zhu Zhihai, acting as the representative, began to exchange information with Shao Ji and his companions.
But Jiang Chen's primary focus, of course, was on Mo Hao.
He observed Mo Hao leave the crowd and fly towards the distance. In no time, Mo Hao landed on a barren black mountain peak and sat down cross-legged.
