Chapter 2471: Chapter 512: 5
"So that’s why our Sky Clan cultivators have to leave our Great Thousand World, come to the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and wipe out you Human Clan cultivators. For every Human Clan cultivator we kill, we get a reward."
He didn’t have any intention of hiding anything.
At this point, he wouldn’t bother asking anything either; replying to the other party’s questions and hoping the other party would let him go would be childish nonsense.
It was obvious the other party would definitely not let him off.
And all he wanted was a clean, quick death. The other party was a reincarnated Daluo Golden Immortal; he had absolutely no doubt about the other party’s methods.
Cao Zhen furrowed his brows tightly and asked, "Targeting our Human Clan? Then how many of your Sky Clan cultivators have left your Great Thousand World?"
Immortal Lord Double Hammer answered immediately upon hearing this: "Almost all Sky Clan cultivators."
"Almost all of them? Then if you don’t leave cultivators behind in your Great Thousand World, aren’t you afraid that your Sky Clan’s Great Thousand World will be destroyed by other races?"
Cao Zhen was somewhat skeptical about Immortal Lord Double Hammer’s words. From what he knew, even though all races feared the Sky Clan, at least the Demon Clan, Insect Clan, and Beast Clan were constantly wishing for the Sky Clan’s destruction. If, in the future, an opportunity arose where they could wipe out the Sky Clan’s Great Thousand World without suffering heavy losses, they would definitely act, and might even join forces!
And there was no way the Sky Clan wouldn’t understand how much the other races dreaded them. How could they possibly send out almost all of their experts just to slaughter Human Clan cultivators?
Immortal Lord Double Hammer shook his head lightly and said, "We don’t know either. It’s the Emperor’s decree. We can only obey!"
He truly didn’t know what their Emperor was thinking.
The only explanation they could think of was that the threat posed by the Human Clan had simply become too great.
Cao Zhen thought for a moment and continued asking, "There’s one more question. Do you know that your Seventh Prince was killed by me?"
"We know. Afterwards, our Emperor sent out a large number of experts to kill you, but you managed to escape."
Cao Zhen did not continue questioning Immortal Lord Double Hammer. Instead, he drew another Human Clan cultivator over through the air, pulled him in front of himself, and asked the same questions. In the end, he got the same answers.
The other side hadn’t lied to him.
Cao Zhen casually killed the two Sky Clan cultivators, his expression growing heavy. What kind of madness had seized the Sky Clan’s Emperor?
Why this sudden, intense targeting of their Human Clan?
He absolutely did not believe it was just because he had killed the Sky Clan’s Seventh Prince. There had to be some other reason!
After all, although the Seventh Prince was important, compared to the entire Sky Clan’s future, he counted for nothing.
Previously, when the six great Alien Races attacked the Human Clan’s Great Thousand World together, why did they stop their advance after the Human Clan withdrew from the Central Continent?
On the one hand, it was indeed because they needed to digest everything in the Central Continent. On the other hand, the bigger reason was that the six great Alien Races did not want to suffer too great a loss.
They also worried that, if the Human Clan were pushed too hard, the Humans would fight to the death, inflicting heavy casualties on them and letting the other races profit.
But now, the Sky Clan was clearly targeting the Human Clan without regard for losses; taken a step further, this was full-scale war!
He didn’t know the reason, but given the current situation, the Human Clan was in danger.
The Sky Clan was, after all, acknowledged as the number one strongest race!
Cao Zhen quickly used China Cloud to contact his disciples. His disciples were almost all on the True Immortal Realm battlefield now, and he had to make them more careful.
Also, the Human Clan upper echelon needed to be notified as soon as possible. Of course, the Human Clan high command probably already had the news.
"Hm? This kid Xiang Ziyu, he’s in a ruin—and he’s opened Eight Immortal Palaces?"
Cao Zhen had just connected to Xiang Ziyu via China Cloud, and the next moment he froze for a bit. During this period of time, he had been comprehending Chaos Qi and simply had no time to check on his disciples, or even on his own wife—what they were all doing.
After he left the ruin, he was immediately hunted by the Sky Clan, so he’d had no time at all to use China Cloud to watch others.
Very soon, after communicating with Xiang Ziyu, he learned what Xiang Ziyu had experienced these last few days. After warning Xiang Ziyu to be careful, he contacted his wife, then connected to his disciples, informing them of the situation the Human Clan was currently facing. At the same time, he had Linghu Gudu pass this news on to Sword Lord Yu Hua.
Sword Lord Yu Hua came from the Beginning Sword Sect, whose Sect Hierarch, Sword Lord Three Talents, was one of the Human Clan high-level figures.
After explaining all of this, he took out the clan token Ju E had left her back then and informed the Demon Clan of his encounters after leaving the ruin, as well as the Sky Clan’s movements.
He didn’t know how the Demon Clan would respond after learning what the Sky Clan was doing.
"The Sky Clan’s moves clearly show they intend to go to all-out war with our Human Clan. And at such a time, our Human Clan still has a cancer like the Eternal Assembly inside us; they’re most likely the Sky Clan’s chess piece.
Before the Sky Clan goes into full-scale war with our Human Clan, the Eternal Assembly must be eradicated as quickly as possible!"
Cao Zhen had originally planned to kill a few more traitors on the list before making contact with members of the Eternal Assembly. After all, the two traitors he had killed earlier had cultivation bases that looked too high; he wasn’t sure whether, if he brought these two corpses back, the people in the Eternal Assembly would become suspicious of him.
But now it seemed that this was the fastest way to penetrate into the Eternal Assembly’s mid-to-high levels.
