Chapter 2641: Chapter 541
The entire Human Clan has yet to unite as one.
Cao Zhen listened to the questions from the villagers opposite, lightly shook his head, and said, "I’m not the Clan Leader of the entire Human Clan, I’m only the Clan Leader of the Human Clan in the Eastern Province."
"That’s still a Clan Leader."
The villager opposite asked, full of expectation, "Clan Leader, are you going to take us to the Eastern Province?"
The surrounding crowd, hearing this, all turned to look over with hope written on their faces.
Cao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "That’s right, this time we’ve come to bring you back to the Eastern Province. Are you willing to return to the Eastern Province with me?"
The Sect Leader Dian Feng, lying on the ground, heard this and his expression changed drastically. These villagers were just going to follow Cao Zhen and the others back like this?
He had followed Cao Zhen and the others precisely to stop them. If he did nothing and just let Cao Zhen take everyone away, what would others think of him once they returned?
Besides, he had just founded a Great Teaching, and he was now a person of that Great Teaching. He also needed to develop his own branch, and for that he needed Disciples.
So no matter what, he needed to fight to keep more people here.
Immortal Lord Lin Feng had not been moved to kill; he had only given a slight punishment. Though Dian Feng’s body had been pierced through with one strike, the wound was not large and the injury was not serious.
He quickly got up and said, "Everyone, why must you go to the Eastern Province?
Everything the Eastern Province has, this place also has. And if you go to the Eastern Province, you’ll have to leave your homeland behind. Why don’t you stay here?"
Across from them, the villagers finally understood: these two Humans were from two different sides; one side wanted them to stay, while the other wanted them to leave.
In truth, if they could avoid leaving, of course it would be best not to leave.
Just like that Immortal had said earlier, if possible, who would want to leave their hometown? But the problem was that staying here was simply too dangerous.
The village’s village chief braced himself and asked, "Immortal, of course we don’t want to leave our homeland.
But if we stay here, we’re on edge every single day. We never know when an Alien Race might enter our village and slaughter us all.
Five li from our village, there used to be a Niu family village, and eight li away, there was a Bai family village, but both of those villages are gone now.
We’re afraid that someday we’ll end up just like them."
"That won’t happen." Sect Leader Dian Feng hurriedly spoke up, "That was in the past; things are not the same as before. In the past, the various Races were at odds. Now, the various Races are establishing a new order. Including the Blood Clan, the eight Races have already agreed to develop peacefully, so such things will no longer happen in the future."
His voice had just fallen when Ju E’s cold voice rang out.
"You’re sure? If a Sky Clan cultivator comes and slaughters a village, what can you say about it?
To put it nicely, you’re borrowing land on the Sky Clan’s territory. To say it harshly—no, not harshly, to tell the truth—you’re just being dogs for the Sky Clan here. Do you dare to restrain them?"
"You..." Sect Leader Dian Feng seemed to want to point at Ju E, but when he saw Immortal Lord Lin Feng standing not far from Ju E’s side, his hand trembled and he no longer dared to raise it. He could only say in a low voice, "You can’t put it that way. Our relationship with the Sky Clan isn’t like that, we are..."
"You are what?" Ju E said with utter disdain, "Or should I grab a Sky Clan cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm for you right now and see if you dare to kill him?
Forget it, I won’t make things hard for you. Do you dare to curse him out? You’re a Cultivator at the True Immortal Realm, right? Let a Sky Clan cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm or Immortality Regainment Realm come and curse you out and see if you dare talk back.
You can’t even protect yourselves, and you think you can protect others?"
As soon as her words fell, the faces of the villagers all around changed instantly.
They didn’t need to ask any further. Just by looking at that man’s expression, and recalling how he had been beaten by that female Immortal earlier yet hadn’t dared to say a word, they could tell this wasn’t a lie.
In that case, they truly did not dare to stay here.
Sect Leader Dian Feng, hearing this, hurriedly tried to salvage the situation: "But how can you guarantee that the Eastern Province will definitely be safe?"
"He is the Clan Leader of the Human Clan in the Eastern Province. The rules he sets are rules that all Humans in the Eastern Province must obey."
Before Cao Zhen could speak, Ju E cut in, "As for the other Races... I am a member of the Demon Clan, the future Clan Leader of the second-largest Race. Our Demon Clan will definitely abide by the decisions of the Human Clan.
Besides that, there are also Golden Immortal Realm experts from the Beast Clan and the Prison clan here. What else do you have to worry about?"
Around them, the villagers looked at each other, and in the end, all their gazes fell on the village chief.
The village chief pondered slightly, then slowly said, "I want to follow these Immortals to the Eastern Province. What do you all think?"
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding villagers immediately said, "We’ll listen to the village chief!"
"I’ve never been to the Eastern Province; I want to see what it looks like."
"We’re going to the Eastern Province!"
"It’s just too dangerous to stay here. Now that we finally have a chance to leave, we must go with them."
If this were a large city, with many people inside and everyone having their own thoughts, it would be normal for residents of the same city to make different choices.
But this was a village. In the village, not only did everyone know each other, they even shared the same surname; everyone listened to the village chief.
