Flying city, in a room.
Lin Che was sending a telepathic message to Wan Qingsha, telling her to head to Wudi City immediately.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock!
Lin Che scanned the area with his spiritual sense and immediately recognized the person outside as Wen Fang.
This great demon king was the most enthusiastic during the daytime negotiations, and he just returned to his room with the other great demon kings. Why is he coming here on his own now?
Lin Che simply opened the door and invited him in.
"Fellow Daoist Wenfang, it's so late. Is there something you need?"
Wen Fang was indeed acting rather suspiciously. He glanced outside first before closing the door behind him.
"Hehe, Brother Sanzang. There were too many people around earlier, so there were some things I couldn't say directly. I can only talk to you now."
"Oh? Come, please sit down!" Lin Che wasn't in a hurry, so he simply invited Wen Fang to sit down.
Wen Fang didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he carefully examined Lin Che and said, "Excuse my intrusion, but if I'm not mistaken, you must be a human, right?"
Lin Che deliberately showed off the two dragon horns on his head, but Wen Fang still noticed. He didn't deny it and asked in return, "What does it matter if I'm human or not?"
"No. I just came here out of kindness to remind you that cultivators like you with human blood are not well-received everywhere. The Demon Emperor has already ordered all humans to be driven out of the Demon World. Although Martial Emperor City also takes in human cultivators, they all mysteriously...disappear in the end."
Lin Che never expected that he would get such a surprising answer just from taking a "ride".
"What do you mean? You mean Martial Emperor City is exterminating human cultivators?"
"I've only heard about this. It might not be true... but all human cultivators who arrive in Martial Emperor City eventually disappear without a trace. If you don't want anything to happen to you, I actually have a way to help you avoid danger. It's just, well, it requires navigating some connections. You understand?" Wen Fang feigned a troubled expression.
Turns out, he's another guy who won't do anything without a profit.
However, Lin Che felt more at ease with this kind of person. If Wen Fang had come to tell him this news without any ulterior motives, Lin Che would have found it hard to believe.
Lin Che said in a deep voice, "If what you're saying is true, then I'll definitely reward you handsomely. But how do I know if you're lying to me?"
"Hey! You don't trust me, do you?" Wen Fang seemed worried that the room wasn't safe. He looked around before taking out a jade pendant from a sealed bone.
He gestured and said, "Actually, this news was told to me by one of my wives!"
"Your wife?"
"Oh, I'm her gigolo. Hehe."
Lin Che looked Wen Fang up and down and could only say that each race has different aesthetic standards.
However, it can be inferred from Wen Fang's words that he did not speak.
"Go on."
“My wife is quite capable, and she holds a high position in Martial Emperor City. During the day, the manager we were talking about, Cai Ni, is actually the one my wife mentioned. As long as you give Cai Ni a bribe, you can be assigned to the territory you want. When she contacted me before, she gave me this jade pendant. This is a treasure! I asked her where it came from. She said it was left behind after a human cultivator was killed. She didn't need it, so she gave it to me…” Wen Fang stroked the jade pendant with great care.
Even without holding it in his hand, Lin Che could tell that the jade pendant exuded righteous energy.
As long as one wears such a jade pendant, even a great demon king can experience various benefits.
This also proves that the jade pendant must have belonged to a human cultivator with a strong sense of righteousness.
Lin Che asked, "In Martial Emperor City, if the goal is to exterminate human cultivators, this matter can't be covered up, can it? Can you contact your wife now and find out the truth? Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits."
Lin Che took out the sacred beast bone from the daytime, and worried that Wen Fang would be greedy, so he added an extra demon core.
Wen Fang immediately became excited. He chuckled and said, "Kill them all? That's definitely not going to happen. We should kill some of them, and as long as the rest completely submit to Martial Emperor City, we can let them leave."
Lin Che frowned slightly. These seemingly ordinary words contained a lot of information.
"Are you sure... that only a portion of the human cultivators will be killed, while the rest can escape?"
"Of course I'm sure. But I don't know why they let it go. It's best you don't try it, you could really lose your life."
Wen Fang didn't know.
But Lin Che seemed to have guessed it.
The only reason why any human cultivators could emerge alive was that they had already pledged allegiance to Martial Emperor City.
In other words, Martial Emperor City must have used some method, whether it was through benefits or contracts, to get those human cultivators to serve them. As for the student cultivators with their proud spirit and righteous indignation, they refused to submit and were ultimately killed.
hiss!!
It seems that Emperor Wu's City, or rather Emperor Wu himself, is not a mindless entity.
Emperor Wu was trying to win over human cultivators.
So, where are those human cultivators who were turned and manipulated? Could they have already gone to the human world?
