Soon, a large number of recording stones were mined, and within a few days, demons in many areas were equipped with them. It is believed that as time goes on, every law enforcement demon team will have a recording stone.
At the same time, news that the two immortal lords had appeared in the demon realm and were even treated kindly by the demons also reached both races.
The humans' first reaction upon hearing the news was disbelief, assuming it was another trick played by the demons. As time passed, the rumors multiplied until Jiang Shang and Yi Wenbai appeared, finally confirming the news.
If they hadn't already ascended to immortality, the cultivation world would have thought that the Heavenly Evolution Sect had sided with the Demon Clan.
Since the arrival of the two immortal lords, the Tianyan Sect, which had been closed for a long time, finally received guests from all directions. Soon, the Tianyan Sect gathered the sect leaders and patriarchs of various sects. Firstly, they wanted to pay their respects to the two immortal lords, and secondly, they wanted to inquire about the Demon Clan.
"Two Immortal Lords, what is the situation regarding the Demon Clan?"
Jiang Shang stroked his beard and said, "If the Demon Clan truly has a conspiracy, with my master and I here, we will certainly not sit idly by. The Demon Clan's desire to be on good terms with both clans is a joyous occasion, isn't that what you've always hoped for? Now that it's become a reality, you've started to hesitate and be timid."
Everyone choked on their words, realizing upon reflection that it was indeed true. Their human race was no longer what it used to be; if the demon race truly wanted to harm humanity, they would have to see if the two immortal lords would allow it.
Oh, and there's also the young master of the demon race; he's actually the son-in-law of a human.
The patriarch of the Xinglin Sect laughed heartily, "With two Immortal Lords here, we are naturally at ease. This time, besides wanting to pay our respects to the two Immortal Lords, we also came to the Tianyan Sect to inquire about Xiaoxue: Does Immortal Lord Lingxiao know any news about True Lord Xiange?"
The patriarchs of other sects glanced sideways at the patriarch of the Xinglin Sect, muttering under their breath, "Old fool." After cursing, they were filled with envy. They all knew to some extent about the relationship between the Xinglin Sect's talented disciple and An Ge; the Xinglin Sect was truly lucky.
"Don't worry, Tingxue. My apprentice is doing well. I believe they will be able to meet again soon."
Listen to that, "Tingxue girl," how affectionate that title is. Seeing this, people from other sects were incredibly envious, and then they became increasingly displeased with their own prodigies.
"Alright, then Tingxue and I can rest assured."
Jiang Shang looked at everyone, his expression gradually becoming serious. "While everyone is here, I have some news to tell you in advance."
Then, Jiang Shang recounted the story of the evil god to everyone, saying, "Currently, we have only discovered followers of the evil god in the Demon Realm, but we cannot let our guard down with the human race. I once had contact with an evil god, and it's no exaggeration to say that his power is enough to turn our entire continent into a living corpse." Jiang Shang exaggeratedly stated.
This was the first time anyone had ever heard of an evil god. To them, the demon race had always been the greatest threat; if the entire continent were to descend into war, it was undoubtedly instigated by the demons. Now, someone was telling them of the existence of an evil god—a truly shocking piece of news for someone unfamiliar with the divine realm.
The patriarch of the Taixu Sword Sect was the most righteous and indignant. "Immortal Lord Lingxiao, what force is the Evil God?"
Jiang Shang took out a recording device. "Please take a look, everyone."
The crowd was initially curious about the recording device, but their curiosity was quickly replaced by the shock of what they saw, especially the monsters. Even the veterans who had experienced countless battles felt nauseous.
Now they finally understand that what Jiang Shang meant by "walking corpses" is not just an adjective, but the literal meaning.
Before anyone could ask, Jiang Shang explained the characteristics of zombies, emphasizing that they lose their rationality. "This plane was almost completely turned into a zombie world because of the evil god. Fortunately, my disciple intervened and saved the plane. However, my disciple paid a huge price. If our continent were to become like this, even a god couldn't save it."
Jiang Shang spoke earnestly, emphasizing the price An Ge paid for this; otherwise, they would still feel they had a way out and would place their hopes on An Ge.
Everyone gasped. The thought of potentially becoming like that changed their previously indifferent attitude towards the evil god. "We will definitely investigate thoroughly. However, as you said, if the impact is not deep, it may be difficult to find out."
Jiang Shang said, "I'm telling everyone about this just to remind you to be more careful. It seems that the power of evil gods is not that great in the cultivation world yet. Moreover, spiritual energy and dark power are incompatible. If it is contaminated by death energy, it will definitely give itself away."
He didn't reveal An Ge's plans; it was just a hypothetical idea. If everyone knew, his apprentice would feel pressured.
Even so, the impact of the zombie images was too great, and everyone secretly resolved to conduct a thorough investigation upon returning to the sect and find out who the suspects were.
The thought of potentially sharing a common enemy with the demons in the future made the people less resistant to them. The cultivation world was paying close attention to the inquiries made by these sect leaders at the Tianyan Sect. After their appearance and expression of willingness to have friendly exchanges with the demon realm, the initial surprise was followed by relief.
With the assurances of the two Immortal Lords and the words of such a great cultivator ancestor, the human race quickly calmed down, their curiosity about the demon race outweighing their wariness.
Some humans who had dealings with the demons also breathed a sigh of relief. They were most afraid of being accused of colluding with the demons. Now that they saw the change in the attitude of the authorities, they were no longer afraid of being known to others that they knew the demons.
Soon, rumors spread that the Demon Clan would be holding a competition, and they recounted the many wonders of the Holy Tower. It was also rumored that although the Demon Clan was poor, it was overflowing with treasures. Previously, the Demon Clan and the Monster Clan were on good terms, but most of the Monster Clan were only cultivators; there were very few weapon refiners or alchemists, and these treasures were simply wasted.
For a time, weapon refiners, array masters, alchemists, and others also developed a longing for the demon race.
However, the long-standing prejudice against the demon race cannot be erased by a few words from powerful figures. In addition, the demon race requires great strength, so most cultivators still dare not step into the demon race. Those who are going to watch the competition are all powerful cultivators.
However, it cannot be denied that, at least when the demon race is mentioned again, the human race will not be alarmed.
At this time, the Demon King was also discussing matters concerning the Demon Clan with the other demons.
"With two immortal lords as witnesses, the demon race shouldn't be plotting anything. But what do you think is the meaning behind the demon race's series of reforms?"
The demons looked at each other in bewilderment. They had maintained a relatively peaceful relationship with the demons, but they couldn't understand the demons' intentions.
"What else could it mean? It's just about developing the demon race."
"Young Master!" the demons called out respectfully, their eyes filled with boundless pride as they looked at Hu Jiu.
Although the previous young master caused trouble everywhere, he was very talented. Even if they had complaints, they still felt that Hu Jiu was a qualified young master.
Now that the young master has ascended to immortality and his personality has become much more stable, all the demons are completely satisfied. To put it bluntly, if the Demon King were to abdicate now, the entire demon race would wholeheartedly agree.
