Chapter 1138 Contact
As far as he knew, although the black market established by Chen Yang had gradually attracted many merchants, a considerable number of human residual bloodlines had also appeared.
It wasn't just their Demon Capital forces who were watching the human residual bloodlines in the Ground Realm. If others arrived, it wouldn't be something he, a cultivator at the Coalescing Core realm, could handle.
After much deliberation, the City Lord of Demon Bone City maintained his disguise and quietly left Demon Bone City, heading for the Demon Capital Prefecture.
Meanwhile, after Chen Yang brought everyone to the Land of Hope, he immediately had them start taking action.
Those who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment True Person realm would receive rewards of spirit stones or pills if they helped others break through.
As the first batch of recovery pills were successfully refined, Chen Yang also gave the formula for the breakthrough pills to Ling Guangqing and the others.
As for the required medicinal ingredients, Chen Yang had already instructed Anda to prepare everything.
Chen Yang himself personally began guiding the people of Qingzhou City in their breakthroughs.
After all, they were people close to him, and Chen Yang hoped they could possess greater strength to face the dangers of the Ground Realm.
Once the news of the academy spread, everyone eagerly signed up.
Being able to learn from powerful cultivators was something they had never dared to imagine before.
Yet now, the Land of Hope could fulfill this wish.
For those who had not yet reached the Coalescing Core realm, as long as they possessed a skill, they could receive corresponding spirit stones based on the number of people they taught.
Coupled with the opening of the black market, many people who had previously drifted on the Sea of Forgetfulness began to seek a foothold in the Land of Hope.
In an instant, the entire Land of Hope became several times more lively than Demon Bone City.
At the same time, the City Lord of Demon Bone City also arrived at the Demon Capital Prefecture.
In the main hall of the Demon Capital Prefecture, besides the Prefecture Lord and the City Lord of Demon Bone City, another person stood beside them.
The City Lord of Demon Bone City had been in the Demon Capital forces for many years and, while not intimately familiar with the Prefecture Lord's confidantes, he recognized their faces.
But this person before him was truly unfamiliar.
After listening, the Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture said in a deep voice, "Shengyue, what do you think of this matter?"
"To gather such a vast number of people in such a short period, is this a pre-arranged plan by the human race?"
Shengyue was none other than the Divine Venerable Shengyue.
Initially, Divine Venerable Shengyue had intended to contact the City Lord of Demon Bone City first. However, upon learning that the City Lord of Demon Bone City had taken people to a battlefield thousands of miles away, he directly came to the Demon Capital Prefecture.
Divine Venerable Shengyue knew many secrets of the human race and had connections with the Ground Realm. He was soon regarded as an important helper by the Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture.
In the eyes of the Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture, capturing the human race would be impossible without Shengyue's assistance.
For this reason, he personally helped Divine Venerable Shengyue rapidly improve his strength.
After absorbing the Sword Sect's inheritance and coupled with his formidable talent, Divine Venerable Shengyue's breakthrough speed was not much slower than Wu Min and the others. With the help of the Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture, an expert of unknown realm, he had already broken through to the Coalescing Core realm.
Hearing the inquiry from the Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture, Divine Venerable Shengyue chuckled and said, "It's absolutely impossible. The human race is not united; at best, they are a collection of loose sand, or rather, fragmented."
"Even the Sword Sect in its prime couldn't control everyone. As for that Young Master Chen, if I'm not mistaken, he should be someone named Chen Yang."
The gaze of the City Lord of Demon Bone City fell upon Divine Venerable Shengyue, looking at him with some confusion.
Young Master Chen's name was Chen Yang?
Had these two known each other before?
A sense of unease immediately arose in the heart of the City Lord of Demon Bone City.
"However, Chen Yang is not some residual bloodline of the human race left in the Ground Realm. He was born in Qingzhou City and later founded an organization called the Heavenly Physician Hall. His own strength and talent are not weak."
"The City Lord of Demon Bone City mentioned that many human residual bloodlines have gathered there. I believe we can capture them all in one fell swoop."
"Now that the spatial通道 is stable, the seeds planted by the Demon Capital forces in the past have begun to awaken. With an inside and outside attack, taking down the human race will be a matter of moments."
The Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture nodded with great satisfaction, "Then it shall be as you say."
With that, he turned to the City Lord of Demon Bone City and asked, "How is your injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, Prefecture Lord. I am fully recovered."
As soon as the City Lord of Demon Bone City finished speaking, a streak of light flashed in the hall, and a gaunt figure appeared beside him.
The faint power emanating from this person caused the City Lord of Demon Bone City to involuntarily cup his hands and say, "Greetings, Patrol Demon Venerable."
The Patrol Demon Venerable was a cultivator at the Coalescing Core realm who oversaw the entire Patrol Demon Department. Within the Demon Capital forces, he held a position of authority second only to the Prefecture Lord.
Even other city lords of the Demon Capital forces dared not offend him.
The Patrol Demon Venerable nodded lightly, acknowledging the greeting.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Prefecture Lord of the Demon Capital Prefecture slowly said, "For the humans on the ancient battlefield, try to capture them alive as much as possible."
"You will lead the team, with Shengyue accompanying you. Demon Bone City will be sealed off to prevent them from escaping and to stop others from interfering."
After the three emerged from the hall, the figure of the Patrol Demon Venerable had already disappeared, leaving only a parting remark: "You go ahead; the Patrol Demon Department will head to Demon Bone City alone."
The City Lord of Demon Bone City let out a wry smile. Regardless of the Patrol Demon Venerable's cultivation level, he was certainly not someone he could afford to offend.
Since the Prefecture Lord had assigned the Patrol Demon Venerable to lead, he naturally dared not say anything more.
As for Shengyue beside him…
"Going together?"
In response to the City Lord of Demon Bone City's question, Divine Venerable Shengyue explained softly, "It's acceptable, but I must first fetch someone."
The Land of Hope, now running smoothly, was unaware that all its affairs were exposed to the eyes of the Demon Capital forces.
Chen Yang, having brought spirit stones back from the abandoned spirit脉, was pulled into a small courtyard by Dongcang before he could even distribute them.
Chen Yang looked at the decorations in the room and the various documents, and immediately realized that this must be the intelligence agency established by Dongcang.
"Why is this place so rudimentary? Didn't I give you plenty of spirit stones?"
Chen Yang had initially thought Dongcang had brought him here to admire this agency, perhaps to ask for more spirit stones.
However, Dongcang did not answer Chen Yang's question at all but said sternly, "Something seems wrong. Take a look at this."
Chen Yang looked at the document handed over by Dongcang, on which the name Bamuge was clearly written.
"Hmm? You've even managed to win over Bamuge?"
Dongcang nodded, "Bamuge can now enter and leave the City Lord's mansion freely. Naturally, such a person must be won over."
Although Bamuge was not the City Lord's personal guard, due to his close ties with the Land of Hope, many people sought him out to acquire items at a low price. Of course, all of this was done under Dongcang's guidance.
