Chapter 2649: Chapter 542:
The old man patiently explained, "Ming Zhe, you’re still young, you don’t understand. That Chief Cao wasn’t trying to save him; that Chief wanted to find out more of the truth."
"I don’t care, I just saw him save that person. I’m not going with him," the little boy named Ming Zhe said as he edged closer in Immortal Lord Xu Wang’s direction.
Immortal Lord Xu Wang’s face showed a faint smile as he said softly, "Since he chose to stay, and you still insist on forcing him to leave, that wouldn’t be good, would it?"
Cao Zhen looked at the little boy and sighed inwardly. When he had interacted with the boy earlier, he could feel that this child was very smart and not the type to confuse right and wrong.
Most likely, this little boy was deliberately staying here, hoping that one day he could embark on Immortal Cultivation and then find a chance to personally kill his enemy.
But if he himself could see this, how could Immortal Lord Xu Wang possibly not see it?
Besides, putting aside whether he has the talent for Immortal Cultivation, even if he does, what Cultivation Realm could he possibly reach? Immortal Lord Xu Wang is already a Golden Immortal Realm existence.
Even if this little boy reaches the True Immortal Realm, he still wouldn’t be able to severely wound a Golden Immortal even with a sneak attack.
Moreover, when it comes to vengeance, it won’t be this boy’s turn. The hatred for Elder Copper Plate and all the Hundred Peaks Sect Disciples—he would definitely avenge that!
Cao Zhen didn’t know whether the other side had hidden even more mortals away, and the other side also would not allow them to search for them.
Even the other three Great Teachings of Human Clan traitors forbade them from searching. He argued with them for a long time, but they still didn’t agree to let him go to those Great Teachings. In the end, he could only continue elsewhere to search for the mortals of the Human Clan.
A month later, only then did Cao Zhen leave the territory controlled by the Sky Clan and fly toward the Eastern Province.
Within the region controlled by the Sky Clan, most of the Human Clan chose to enter the various continents. After all, this was territory under the Sky Clan’s control, and those Humans were all Human traitors; they simply could not bring themselves to trust these Humans.
As for the other Humans in the Central Continent, they all entered the Four Continents.
Among the Four Continents, the number entering the Eastern Province was the greatest.
First, the Eastern Province reacted the fastest and received the most people, and the Demon Clan, Beast Clan, and Prison clan all prioritized sending people to the Eastern Province as well.
Of the four continents in total, nearly forty percent of the people entered the Eastern Province.
For a time, the entire Eastern Province became busy. Not only the various Dynasties of the Eastern Province, but even the Cultivators of the Eastern Province became incomparably busy. After all, the Eastern Province was simply too vast, and only by having Cultivators pilot Flying Boats could these mortals be transported to all parts.
Moreover, relying on mortal strength alone to build one new great city after another and countless villages would take an unknown amount of time. In addition, with so many new arrivals, more farmland was needed, and many tasks—such as reshaping the terrain, even altering the geology, piercing through mountain ranges, and diverting waterways—simply could not be accomplished by mortals alone.
These tasks would naturally be completed by the Cultivators from the various Great Teachings.
Cao Zhen returned directly to the Hundred Peaks Sect. At the sect gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect, Li Ke and Bi Yue, who had rushed back from the Dragon Chant Sect, along with a crowd of Hundred Peaks Sect Disciples, had long been waiting there.
Just as Cao Zhen flew back to the mountain gate, he immediately felt two extremely icy chills sweep toward him.
Li Ke and Bi Yue...
His two wives were looking at him with obviously abnormal gazes. Moreover, they kept glancing behind him, at Ju E, Immortal Lord Lin Feng, and Immortal Lord Yao Tu standing to the side.
Nie Jie also seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a bit off. He glanced in Li Ke and Bi Yue’s direction and, steeling himself, said, "We respectfully welcome the Sect Hierarch back to the sect."
In the past, when Cao Zhen returned, he would never say something like that. But now the atmosphere was so strange, and since he was the Vice Sect Hierarch, he had no choice but to force himself to speak.
As soon as his words fell, Li Ke’s voice, which sounded filled with icy coldness, rang out, "Why has the Sect Hierarch brought a few Alien Races back with him? Sect Hierarch, aren’t you going to introduce them to us?"
Cao Zhen’s face stiffened all at once. After a long moment he finally said, "As for these matters... uh, it’d be more appropriate for the Three Talents Dao Companion to explain them to you... Three Talents Dao Companion..."
As he spoke, he turned his head with a pleading expression to look at the Three Talents Sword Lord. Previously, the Three Talents Sword Lord had agreed to help him explain.
The Three Talents Sword Lord revealed a wry smile, but still lightly nodded and said, "Our Human Clan is also about to face many great events. The high-level members of the Hundred Peaks Sect should be made aware of this. Allow me to explain a thing or two to everyone."
Hearing the Three Talents Sword Lord agree, Cao Zhen quietly let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, the Three Talents Sword Lord was a man of integrity.
In fact, neither Li Ke nor Bi Yue were unreasonable people. They understood the situation the Human Clan was currently facing, so they did not make things too difficult for Cao Zhen.
After Cao Zhen returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect, soon after, those Half-step Golden Immortal Realm experts from the Eastern Province all flew over as well.
As for the position of Alliance Hierarch of the Eight Clan Alliance, they still intended to contend for it.
There were still ten years left, and he also hoped the Human Clan could produce more Golden Immortal Realm experts.
On a high mountain within the Hundred Peaks Sect, a group of Half-step Golden Immortal Realm experts surrounded Cao Zhen, looking like students waiting for their teacher to call their names.
Cao Zhen’s gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on an elder whose hair and beard were already graying and who looked very refined. He said softly, "Immortal Star Chess, how about we play a game?"
