Chapter 2648: Chapter 542_2
"Chief Cao, you are mistaken in this regard." Elder Hei Xun shook his head immediately upon hearing this, "We made it very clear just now that it was that person who self-destructed just now, acting on his own impulse, and Immortal Lord Xu Wang and his people didn’t intend to massacre mortals."
"Really? Even if that’s so, they were still their people. Their people, so violent, how can we trust them? Our respective clans want to establish a new order, our goal is to strengthen the power of our part of the world.
But they are slaughtering our potential forces, isn’t this contrary to the original intention of establishing a new order?"
"That was just an accident. The other disciples sent by Immortal Lord Xu Wang didn’t do such things."
Elder Hei Xun turned to look at Immortal Lord Xu Wang and asked, "Immortal Lord Xu Wang, you don’t have any other disciples doing such things, do you?"
Immortal Lord Xu Wang immediately replied, "No, of course not."
"Even if there’s none." Cao Zhen suddenly shifted his tone and said, "But they still shouldn’t have abducted so many people. We agreed to ask these mortals for their opinion, but instead, they just took them away.
These people, where are they now? We should also go see them and ask whether they wish to stay in the Central Continent or join us in the Four Continents of the Human Clan."
Immortal Lord Xu Wang fell silent; after all the effort to capture those people, he naturally didn’t want to give them up, but at this moment, he had no other choice.
Elder Hei Xun cursed inwardly but had to say, "Immortal Lord Xu Wang, since Chief Cao wants to see them, you should take him there."
These traitors of the Human Clan truly achieve nothing but ruin.
Since everyone knows they forcibly took so many people, they have no choice but to show them to others now.
For now, they can only sacrifice the great teachings established by these traitors from the Eastern Province, which would at least secure the other three teachings.
Since Elder Hei Xun had already spoken, Immortal Lord Xu Wang had no choice but to take them there.
They had locked these captured people in the back mountain of their great teaching, as keeping them outside would risk them being discovered by Cao Zhen and others, making the capture of these people in vain!
Cao Zhen followed Immortal Lord Xu Wang, Elder Hei Xun, and others, flying to a place where mountain ridges stretched endlessly.
The peak of the mountain ahead was enveloped in dense clouds and mist, fluctuating between being as thick as a fine drizzle and as light as a floating white cloud.
With a spell cast.
Between the mountains, a majestic mountain gate emerged, surrounded by a dense bamboo forest. Beneath the blue sky and white clouds, the mountain gate appeared solemn and mysterious.
Cao Zhen’s gaze quickly fell on the three large characters engraved above the mountain gate.
"Eastern Church!"
A cold expression appeared on his face; was this meant to intimidate the entire Eastern Province?
The soft clouds floated around this area’s mountain gate, like light gauze gently winding around this world.
When sunlight filtered through the clouds onto the mountain gate, the interplay of light and shadow, paired with the weightless clouds and the bright sunlight, seemed to break the bonds of the mundane, imparting a sense of transcendence.
As they got closer to the mountain gate, they could feel fresh air wafting in, carrying a faint scent of flowers and the freshness of grass.
Within this mountain gate, there was also a towering mountain.
Although a newly built great teaching, it was evident that atop those mountain peaks stood various large formations.
Immortal Lord Xu Wang directly led everyone to the back mountain, where the captured mortals were detained.
They still didn’t know what was going on; they were just living their lives as usual when suddenly cultivators came and brought them here. Those cultivators didn’t say why they brought them here, only guarded the surroundings to prevent them from leaving.
In this manner, after a while, suddenly, figures descended from the void.
They all looked up.
The next moment, a voice came over.
"I am from the Human Clan, the clan leader of the Eastern Province. Today, I’m here to take you back to the Eastern Province, where we have arranged everything for you—farmlands, houses, villages...
Of course, you can also choose to stay in the Central Continent, here, leaving your future to those who forcibly brought you here..."
As Cao Zhen spoke, these mortals quickly understood what had happened. The people from the Eastern Province had come to take them to the Eastern Province, Western continent, or other places controlled by the Human Clan.
But there were still many Human Clan members here, all traitors from back in the day who forcibly brought them here.
What more is there to choose?
These were originally traitors of the Human Clan; during their capture, they were violent, even killing some of their people. They would rather be displaced than stay here.
However, there were simply too many people here. While most chose to leave, there was still a very small number who chose to stay for unknown reasons, including that little boy whose parents had died.
"Ming Zhe, what are you doing? Why do you want to stay?" The old man looked incredulously at his grandson and shouted, "Your father and mother died because of them; why do you want to stay here?"
"Isn’t the person who killed them already dead? Besides, I didn’t see anything else. I saw that the clan leader from the Eastern Province saved the person who killed our parents, so I won’t go to the Eastern Province; I want to stay here."
