Chapter 2643: Chapter 541:
"Tell me, what happened! Do you know what kind of people committed such a heinous act that Heaven itself cannot tolerate!"
The old man looked at the furious expression of the leading Cultivator opposite him, and his mind slowly turned around. He asked in a low voice, "You’re not with them, you... no, you are with them!"
Suddenly, he saw the clothes on another Human Clan member. He remembered very clearly that the three Human Cultivators who slaughtered their entire city were wearing clothes just like those.
"With them?" Cao Zhen’s gaze instantly fell on Sect Leader Dian Feng to the side, his expression turning cold in a flash. He said in an icy voice, "Sect Leader Dian Feng, could you perhaps explain to me in detail what you people did before this!"
Sect Leader Dian Feng looked at the city before him that now resembled a heap of ruins, cursing inwardly nonstop. Those bastards had gone so far in their actions!
The order they received was to seize mortals and take them away as quickly as possible before Cao Zhen and the others arrived.
The higher-ups sent them to capture people, not to kill them, much less to massacre an entire city!
And if you’re going to kill, then kill; if you’re going to slaughter a city, then slaughter it—couldn’t you at least clean up after yourselves? And in the end you left three survivors!
Feeling the chilling aura coming from Cao Zhen, he hastily waved his hands and said, "I’m not clear on this either, I truly don’t know. Maybe, maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding in all this."
"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? We never went this deep inside before, and the only Humans here are you lot. If it wasn’t you who did this, then who? Not talking, is that it? I’ll just ask this old gentleman here, he’ll naturally know everything."
Cao Zhen turned his head to look at the old man and patiently explained, "You’ve misunderstood. I am not with them.
If I really were the same as them and hostile toward you, you’d probably already be dead by now, wouldn’t you? Not only am I not with them, I’m actually here to rescue you.
I am a Cultivator from the Eastern Province. This time I intend to bring you Cultivators of the Central Continent out of the Central Continent and into a great continent under our Human Clan’s control to live.
If you don’t believe me, do you see the Flying Boat up above? The ones inside that Flying Boat are all mortals from the Central Continent. Ask them and you’ll know I’m not lying to you."
As Cao Zhen spoke, he even directly opened the Flying Boat. Very soon, several figures dropped down from within the Flying Boat. Wrapped in his power, they all landed to the side, and there was no trace of discomfort on their faces.
Although today was the first time they had entered the Flying Boat, they had gotten on and off that Flying Boat too many times before.
Every time Cao Zhen entered a village or a large city, he would let them out and have them persuade the villagers to leave the Central Continent and go to the Eastern Province.
However, when they saw everything under their feet, they were instantly dumbfounded.
"This city’s been destroyed?"
"Strange, it looks like only the houses and such have collapsed."
"What’s going on? This city has practically become an empty city already, why would Chief Cao still come here?"
Cao Zhen looked at the crowd and said softly, "Everyone, this great city was just slaughtered, and it’s very likely it was ravaged by those Human traitors.
And this old gentleman suspects that I’m with them. Could you all help explain for me that I am not one of them."
"Slaughtered the city?"
"They, Humans, slaughtered our own city!"
"How is that possible? Even if those Immortals think themselves above us, they might refuse to help us, but there’s no way they would directly act to exterminate an entire great city. After all, we’re all Human Clan!"
Once the shock passed, everyone started talking, one after another, about Cao Zhen’s identity and what he was doing now.
They were almost all village chiefs from various villages, their eloquence not bad to begin with. On the road before this, they had been constantly going out, explaining things to other mortal clansmen. After such tempering, they had become even more persuasive.
It didn’t take long before they made the old man understand that this Cao Zhen really had come to help them, not to kill them!
The old man bowed in Cao Zhen’s direction, then quickly said, "Immortal, I was the one who misunderstood before. Please, Immortal..."
As he spoke, he even tried to kneel down, but that gentle power around him surged up, directly supporting his body so that he couldn’t kneel.
"There’s no need for that. It was merely a misunderstanding. What truly matters is what exactly happened here. Would you be willing to tell us?
To slaughter our fellow Human Clan like this—such people are utterly unworthy of being called human."
Hearing this, the old man nodded and then said, "Earlier, I was bringing my two grandsons back into the city from outside.
But before we could fly back into the city, we heard loud booming sounds, one after another. From far away, we saw the city gates collapse.
Then..."
As the old man spoke, a deep hatred surfaced on his face. He looked at Sect Leader Dian Feng and pointed at the other’s clothes. "Then I saw three Cultivators wearing clothes identical to his flying over. I remember very clearly that the clothes those Cultivators wore also had a ’Dong’ character embroidered on them!
From the sky, they brought out a thing just like that thing behind you."
Ju E, hearing the old man’s words, immediately prompted him, "That thing you’re talking about is called a Flying Boat. What did they do with the Flying Boat?"
"They grabbed people! I couldn’t see what was happening inside the city anymore, but I could see that one resident after another in the city was directly seized and thrown into the Flying Boat."
