Chapter 2606: Chapter 535:
"But since they’ve asked us to let it go, why haven’t they returned our Central Continent to us!"
"These are the words of the Sky Clan, but the words of the Sky Clan aren’t necessarily true. Who knows, maybe the Sky Clan has some underhanded scheme!"
"Yes, the Sky Clan is definitely not trustworthy!"
Upon learning the news Ju E brought to Cao Zhen, everyone began to discuss fervently.
After a long time, the voice of the Sword Lord of the Three Elements resounded.
"Everyone..." The Sword Lord of the Three Elements looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "They claim the grudges are generally dissolved. They haven’t even returned our Central Continent, I’m also angry.
But now that the other six clans have reached a consensus, with our current strength, we have no other choice. We’ve just undergone a catastrophe, our fellow Humans have suffered heavy casualties. We cannot start a war again at this moment.
For now, we can only agree to the will of the Six Clans. Meanwhile, we also need to go to the Central Continent to participate in that meeting."
Cao Zhen, as the Clan Leader of the Eastern Province’s Human Clan, naturally was the one to attend the meeting, accompanied by the Sword Lord of the Three Elements.
As for the other experts, they all stayed back in the Eastern Province.
This time the Demon Clan helped them; if the Demon Clan truly wanted the Human Clan to perish, they wouldn’t have intervened in the first place. So, he wasn’t too worried and only went with the Sword Lord of the Three Elements.
The remaining experts in the Eastern Province stayed behind.
At the same time, the Sword Lord of the Three Elements also informed the Human experts of the other Three States.
After many years, Cao Zhen finally flew into the Central Continent once again. He still remembered when he first entered the Eastern Province by himself, then encountered the invasion of the Alien Race.
Now, as he returned to the Central Continent, those Alien Races were still present.
With the Sword Lord of the Three Elements, he flew along with Ju E, who brought him the message. From above, they could clearly see the ruins of the once-great cities and villages. Many of these cities and villages still housed Human inhabitants.
The Sword Lord of the Three Elements, gazing at the rather dilapidated old cities before him, sighed softly and said, "These cities are far less prosperous than they were before.
In truth, we’ve wronged these mortals. We retreated without thinking of them, not knowing how many mortals were slaughtered by these Alien Races!"
As he lamented, the expressions of the few people subtly changed as waves of thick, bloody stench wafted from a distant direction.
This was a village nestled by a river, surrounded by lush trees and dense foliage.
The villagers lived simple and peaceful lives, cultivating crops and rearing livestock.
Suddenly, around noon, three hideous-looking members of the Evil Race descended from the sky, entering their village.
While they rarely encountered the Alien Race, the villagers, having lived here for generations and through stories passed down from the older generations, were still able to recognize the six major Alien Races.
Their village was quite remote, and no Alien Races had appeared over many years.
Now, upon seeing these three hideous Evil Race members, the villagers panicked. Farmers took their children and ran home, while the strong young men grabbed hoes and sickles, gathering together, determined to protect their homes.
They had heard too many stories about these Alien Races.
Especially the Evil Race and the Beast Clan, who were the most ruthless. Once they entered a village, it was nothing but slaughter—a midday slaughter!
The three members of the Evil Race, seeing the Humans standing across from them with sickles, hoes, and other farm tools, burst into laughter.
"Look at them, these Humans actually believe they can resist us with farming tools!"
"Their hands are trembling holding those tools. You know, I just love seeing them with that terrified look."
Among the three Evil Race members, the one who appeared the strongest shook his head slightly and said, "Your preferences are indeed peculiar. Isn’t it natural that they fear us? Comparatively, I prefer those children; their meat is truly tender.
In a moment, all the children in this village shall be reserved for me."
"No problem, those children can be saved for you. However, all the women must be reserved for me."
"Naturally, I have no interest in these mortal women."
"Well then, aside from the women and children, the rest will be left to me. You are far too lowbrow—seeing these Humans slaughter each other is the real joy here."
Among the three Evil Race members, one slightly less dark-skinned than the others, still pitch black, looked at the crowd opposite him and slowly extended one finger, saying, "Now, I, the Immortal, will give you an opportunity.
Among all of you, one person can survive. No matter what means you use, whether poisoning your tribesmen or hacking them to death, whoever becomes the last person standing can leave here."
With that, seeing the crowd still uninterested, his face showed a hint of displeasure: "How can this be? Wasn’t I clear enough? Or do you all want to die?"
"Demons! You are demons!"
"Want us to kill each other? You’re dreaming!"
"Fellow villagers, there are only three of them. Let’s kill them together."
"Yes, we’ve heard what they said. Even if by some luck we become the last one standing, who can say they’ll honor their word and spare us?
