Chapter 1325 The Siege
They were indeed at the He Dan realm, cultivated by the Demon Capital Prefecture. It was a realm they had fought for with their lives, step by step.
The resources obtained from the Demon Capital Prefecture were not given for free!
Not only had City Lord Chi Dawan provided them with abundant resources these days, but he had also brought them various strange and peculiar human trinkets.
To say they harbored no doubts at all would be a lie.
One of the He Dan First Layer cultivators suddenly spoke, "City Lord, since Leader Chen Yang has already left, and the wind is strong here, shall we return?"
Such an abrupt and fawning remark caught everyone else off guard.
Even if they were to switch masters, was it necessary to be this quick?
However, they soon realized the benefits of being a wise individual who knows how to adapt to the times.
Chi Dawan nodded with great satisfaction. With a flick of his hand, several streaks of light streaked across.
As the others looked closely, they found that they were all top-grade spirit stones.
"Hiss!" The rest of them immediately gasped in shock.
Top-grade spirit stones were extremely rare resources even for those in the He Dan realm.
Normally, obtaining a single top-grade spirit stone would be enough for them to cultivate for a considerable period.
Never did they expect that with just a few words, they would receive so many top-grade spirit stones today.
Chi Dawan, seeing the envious glances of everyone, nodded internally with great satisfaction.
As long as he had resources, no matter what happened to the Demon Capital Prefecture in the end, he was not worried about his men causing any trouble.
Chen Yang was unaware of what was happening behind him. The one thing he wanted to do most right now was to find the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture.
Chen Yang did not take the passage through the chaotic space. Although it might have been faster, it would not have been enough to shock the other cities of the Demon Capital Prefecture.
And what Chen Yang intended to do this time was to make everyone in the Demon Capital Prefecture witness it.
He was going to take action!
He wanted all the beings in the mortal realm to understand the consequences of offending humanity.
Although Chen Yang's Heavenly Movement Secret Technique was fast, making it difficult for those in the He Dan realm to catch up, the aura that erupted as Chen Yang passed by was something everyone could sense.
The supreme He Dan realm experts of the mortal realm, who already knew that Chen Yang was about to make a move, were now observing in their own ways.
"This Chen Yang... such incredible speed. I can only barely track him with my spiritual sense!"
As a supreme He Dan realm expert outside the Land of Hope spoke, he noticed that the expressions of several others were quite awkward.
However, silence was soon broken.
"Where is the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture? Why has he not appeared yet?"
"With so many subordinates suddenly lost, does he not have the slightest concern?"
The moment Chen Yang made his move against the Demon Capital Prefecture, at least these supreme He Dan realm experts had seen it!
The ferocity of his attack left everyone dumbfounded.
Everyone could guess that Chen Yang would definitely take action after his return.
But to be so sharp and aggressive had indeed startled quite a few individuals.
Yet now, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture still not appearing was out of character for him.
"What I suspect even more now is that Chen Yang went to the Demon Capital Prefecture alone. Are there no humans accompanying him?"
"A fifth-layer He Dan, no matter how unexpectedly strong he is, can he truly survive at the hands of a millennium-foundation supreme He Dan realm expert?"
Among the people present, very few were of millennium foundation.
Everyone remained silent.
The person who spoke earlier saw this and said in a low voice, "Now is an opportunity, an opportunity to take over all of humanity!"
"The number of He Dan realm experts in humanity, you must have already figured that out these days, right?"
"Just by relying on a few of us, there should be no problem!"
The greed in his tone stirred the minds of many.
They were aware of the warning Chen Yang had previously given to the Winged race.
Chen Yang wanted to attract things like extraterrestrial demon gods.
But was anyone truly afraid?
The name "extraterrestrial demon god" was terrifying, and their actions had indeed affected the mortal realm.
However, none of them had ever seen an extraterrestrial divine demon.
What they cared more about was actually their own lives and well-being.
Was humanity strong?
Among all the powers in the mortal realm, humanity was not strong; in fact, it was weak.
But to say that humanity was a race they could easily subdue would be a grave mistake.
Even before Chen Yang arrived in the mortal realm, humanity had spent a thousand years proving its strength and resilience.
Not to mention the fact that they now had Chen Yang and his group!
The former Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture was a supreme He Dan realm expert, with a complete millennium foundation.
Even so, a single human chased him to the ends of the earth.
If it weren't for the rescue by other supreme He Dan realm experts, it was a huge question whether the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture could have survived.
The millennium-foundation Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture could not defeat humanity, so could they truly do it if they were to ask themselves?
Otherwise, why would the Demon Capital Prefecture have united so many people?
It was precisely to exert joint pressure.
Now, humanity had only sent out one Chen Yang, and the rest were still at the Land of Hope.
Regardless of whether Chen Yang won or lost, if they attacked the Land of Hope now, what would be their chances of victory?
Who could guarantee that they wouldn't be ambushed by humanity during the chaos?
These young foxes of the mortal realm exchanged glances, but not a single one of them acted first.
However, adhering to the principle of "watching the fun without causing trouble," someone instigated, "No full-scale attack!"
"Who will go and test how deep humanity's waters are?"
"It's been quite boring to be gathered here these days. We should at least issue a challenge, shouldn't we?"
"Humanity doesn't even have a single supreme He Dan realm expert. Are you all that cowardly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of a smile appeared in everyone's eyes.
Were supreme He Dan realm experts truly invincible?
The Winged God had not yet returned from the Spiritual Realm, and it was highly likely that he was dead.
This matter had had too great an impact on them.
Coupled with the fact that Shi Xinchou of humanity had not shown himself, they were truly afraid of death.
However, although these few dared not make a move, they still had their He Dan ninth-layer subordinates approach the Land of Hope.
The Lord of the Mortal Realm had been observing all the cultivators outside the Land of Hope.
When he noticed the movement, he did not act immediately. Cultivators below the supreme He Dan realm did not require his intervention.
Moreover, Chen Shu's formations were not to be trifled with.
As soon as there was any movement, Chen Shu immediately sent people to investigate.
Adhering to the principle of utilizing resources to their fullest, Chen Shu found a supreme He Dan realm expert.
The true body of Jing You Shui did not appear. Instead, he stood outside the Land of Hope, looking at those sneakily moving figures and snorted coldly, "I am here. Let's see which blind fool dares to come!"
Jing You Shui's voice was extremely loud, clearly amplified by spiritual power.
The reason for his high-profile appearance was that Jing You Shui did not want to fight.
Helping Chen Yang was one thing, but the spark of conflict should absolutely not originate from him.
