Free Web NovelChapter 2636: Chapter 360:
Beside him, a Sky Clan cultivator in a black robe with handsome features suddenly interjected, "Sect Leader Cao, you shouldn’t speak such words lightly. Sect Leader Cao, you can’t just say that seeing a village being massacred means it was our Sky Clan who did it. Sect Leader Cao, you need evidence."
As soon as his words fell, Elder Hei Xun’s face changed immediately.
Cao Zhen nodded and said, "I don’t have any evidence, but those villages were massacred in the territory of your Sky Clan. Your Sky Clan couldn’t protect them, not even those traitors who betrayed our Human Clan could protect them. Since that’s the case, we naturally have to take them back."
"You can’t protect them, we’ll protect them. Is there a problem?"
The Sky Clan cultivator who spoke earlier seemed to realize he had misspoken and urgently tried to remedy it, "Sect Leader Cao, even if those people go to your Human Clan, can you guarantee that those mortal villages will definitely not be exterminated? As far as I know, the Immortals in your Human Clan don’t care about mortals. You wouldn’t care about the lives of those mortals!"
Cao Zhen’s expression turned cold at once, questioning, "And who did you hear from that we don’t care about the lives of mortals? Oh, right, you can only come into contact with those traitors of our Human Clan. These words must have been heard from their mouths, which is quite normal. They can betray their own race, so whether it’s mortals or other Immortals, they don’t care about anyone else’s lives. They only care about their own interests."
"In saying so, I can’t leave these mortals on your territory anymore!"
"As for us, I can naturally guarantee their safety! In our Eastern Province, we have now established laws that both mortals and cultivators must abide by."
"In our Eastern Province, whether cultivators or mortals, all are treated equally. If any cultivator massacres mortals, then that cultivator must pay with their life!"
The Sky Clan cultivator who spoke earlier suddenly found that no matter what he said, it seemed wrong, and for a moment, he did not dare to speak further.
Elder Hei Xun cursed inwardly countless times, truly more destructive than constructive!
He had no choice but to speak again, "Sect Leader Cao misunderstood. These words were not heard from the Human Clan cultivators currently in our Sky Clan’s territory. They were heard from the Human Clan cultivators at the Outer Heaven Battlefield."
"Also, the reason some villagers were massacred was due to the severe conflicts between our Sky Clan and your Human Clan, leading to such situations."
"But now it’s different. Nowadays, all our races should unite together, and those situations will no longer occur, so Sect Leader Cao need not worry about any further massacres of the Human Clan."
"Just like I mentioned before, we can test the cultivation talents of those young mortals, and then Sect Leader Cao can take them away."
"Oh? But, if among the mortals there’s a child who’s suited for cultivating dark arts and among the Human Clan traitors there are also cultivators skilled in dark arts, yet this child wishes to follow us, what should be done then?"
"Moreover, we are just taking those children away, but their families and friends are here. Aren’t we forcibly separating them from their families? Therefore, this method is not proper."
"And those mortals, they are humans too, they should also have the right to choose."
"So, I think the best method is to ask those mortals whether they want to stay here or go with us to the Eastern Province, or to the Western continent, Southern continent, and Northern continent."
"Your Sky Clan won’t deny them the right to choose, right? If that’s the case, then I truly doubt that even if you keep people here, you can’t protect them and won’t care for them, so we should take everyone away. After all, in our Eastern Province, they have the right to choose."
Elder Hei Xun, upon hearing this, immediately countered, "Is that so? If that’s the case, then shouldn’t it mean that if mortals from the Eastern Province don’t want to live there, they can enter the Central Continent? Similarly, the situation would be the same for the other Three States?"
"Certainly, if they don’t want to live in the Eastern Province and instead want to go to Central Continent, it just goes to show that we aren’t doing well enough." Cao Zhen didn’t hesitate to nod directly; what harm is there in saying this? He truly doesn’t believe these Sky Clan cultivators can enter our Human Clan’s Four Continents, to visit village after village and ask those mortals if they want to live in Central Continent, for doing so would only disgust the Human Clan and serve little purpose."
"After all, they are not Human Clan, and how could the mortal Humans follow them into Central Continent?"
"Even if they promise all sorts of benefits, mortals might not necessarily believe them; indeed if there are some who do believe, they are few, and they can’t shake the foundation of our Human Clan."
"As for the mortals who wish to leave, if they can follow them, it proves they have little sentiment for the Human Clan, so why not let them leave?"
Cao Zhen didn’t wait for Elder Hei Xun to speak, and continued, "So now, we’ll go to bring those Humans back. Of course, we’ll ask them if they want to enter our Human Clan Four Continents."
If Elder Hei Xun doesn’t feel assured, you can send your cultivators to follow and see where those Humans ultimately choose to go, whether to our Human Clan’s Four Continents or stay here.
