Chapter 489: The Great Evil Resembling Good

Heading north, what greeted Lu Heng and his companions was a desolate and bleak scene, interspersed with pockets of liveliness.

The desolate and bleak ones were the mortal beings who migrated away from their hometowns.

"And the bustling and prosperous ones were the cultivators who gathered here in accordance with the decrees of the Heavenly Court," Lu Heng thought to himself.

In the vast territories of the Youxiong Country and the Kingdom of All Demons, a large number of cultivators have now gathered. On the side of Youxiong Country, celestial radiance and divine brilliance permeate the air, with floating celestial boats, flying islands, and various peculiar Magical Tools emanating dazzling light. Numerous righteous cultivators await the day of the final assault.

On the other end of the national border, however, a different scene unfolds.

The surging demonic aura almost shrouds the sky, resembling a pitch-black curtain stretching across the northern lands. Countless ferocious and wicked creatures, along with terrifying demons, float and sink within the tidal wave of dark energy. From time to time, eerie and chilling roars echo for miles, captivating the hearts and souls of those who hear them.

In response to the onslaught from the Heavenly Court, the Arctic Skyark Palace also deployed a large number of demonic cultivators to fortify the border.

The terrifying momentum of the conflict between righteousness and wickedness, like a volcano on the verge of eruption, signifies that the imminent battle is about to commence.

Even the passing trio, including Lu Heng, couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the overwhelming divine radiance and almost world-shrouding scale of the surging demonic aura.

However, upon crossing the borders of the Kingdom of All Demons and stepping into this land overrun by vicious demons, Lu Heng and his companions gradually began to notice peculiar occurrences.

Within the soundless gliding of stealthy light, the Candle Dragon looked down upon the surging demonic creatures below and furrowed its brow, remarking, "Something seems amiss"

The perplexity of the Candle Dragon, as well as the bewilderment shared by Lu Heng and Jiu Mie.

Upon entering the borders of the Kingdom of All Demons, they could clearly discern that as they faced the continuously gathering righteous cultivators to the south, the demonic forces, who should have been fully committed, appeared to be constantly reallocating manpower back to the north.

Although from the outside, it appears that demonic forces are constantly gathering and the demonic aura is billowing along the national borders. But if one were to truly venture inside and explore, it would be quite easy to notice certain irregularities.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

In order to maintain the stability of his rule, Sun Yan established exceedingly strict laws to punish the demons who indiscriminately slaughtered mortals. Simultaneously, he also devised a meticulous "blood tax law" to ensure the maximum acquisition of blood nourishment from mortals, while guaranteeing the continuous prosperity and flourishing of the human kingdoms.

Therefore, as Lu Heng and his companions journeyed northward, they were astonished to witness a land of prosperity and a paradise on Earth.

These mortals who live under the rule of demons not only live happily, but can even be described as carefree. Here, mortals are well-provided for in terms of clothing and food, with a flourishing population, and there are no grievances or human calamities that occur.

To prevent infighting among mortals, the Arctic Skyark Palace established exceedingly strict laws to protect the majority of mortals, to the extent that the privileged dare not act recklessly, and criminals dare not appear.

Wherever Lu Heng and his two companions went, there were no lost trails, and doors were left open at night. Every household was prosperous and contented, with music and dancing in harmony.

This group of mortals, who have lived for generations under the rule of demons, no longer perceive the annual offering of blood nourishment to the demons as something dreadful. Under the deliberate guidance of the Arctic Skyark Palace, all the mortals fervently worship the demons.

Even the most lively annual celebrations and grand gatherings involve offering blood nourishment from various cities and towns, as well as the selection of sacrificial victims.

During those few days, every household adorned their homes with lights and decorations, while the streets teemed with crowds of people. The wanderers who had gone out on their journeys returned home one after another, reuniting with their families. Everyone anxiously and eagerly awaited the "Ascending to Immortality" list that would be announced on the final day. If a family member was chosen, mortals not only lacked fear and despair, but also celebrated with excitement. The chosen ones felt proud and joyful, while their relatives and friends reveled in their glory, proudly proclaiming the news everywhere.

When Lu Heng and his companions entered the Kingdom of All Demons, they happened to encounter the day when the Arctic Skyark Palace selected blood nourishment. They witnessed firsthand the enthusiastic and lively scene as mortals celebrated the selection of their loved ones as offerings.

Upon the clouds, Jiu Mie clasped his hands together and murmured, "Amitabha, Amitabha"

The Candle Dragon cast a sidelong glance at Lu Heng and said, "Friend Lu Heng, your two disciples are truly remarkable talents. Their abilities and talents surpass yours by a significant margin"

Amidst the dazzling fireworks bursting and ascending in the sky, Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "In this moment, I am even unsure whether I should scold him or praise him sigh such a fine line between great evil and apparent goodness, it's difficult to judge"
