Chapter 973: A Creepy Feeling

For a moment, inside the hall, both sides fell into silence, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

In Moyun's view, the Monster Race taking the initiative to come here must be to ask for help; these past few days everyone has been feasting and didn't notice the situation of the other races.

However, no matter what, if they want support, they will definitely have to pay some price.

As for the two Monster Race demon emperors, at this point they were completely bewildered—support? Support what? Who does our Monster Race need support from?

Damn it, the Monster Race hasn't even seen a single demon up to now—who would they need support from?

"No, could there be some misunderstanding here?"

Looking at Moyun and his two companions, the two demon emperors spoke gloomily. Upon hearing this, Moyun furrowed his brows slightly, exchanged a glance with the two Great Saint Elders of the Cloud Lotus Holy Land and the Jade Pool Holy Land, then turned his head, pursed his lips, and said discontentedly.

"You didn't come to ask for support, did you?"

"No."

"Then why are you here? Since there's nothing going on, you should leave quickly—Tianhong Guan is very busy right now."

"Just wandering around for no reason, and it's almost mealtime anyway—Moyun and his two companions couldn't be bothered with small talk, so as soon as they finished speaking they got up and left."

"No, wait............."

Seeing this, the two demon emperors were stunned, but before they could even try to detain them, Moyun and his two companions had already vanished without a trace.

Wasting time, delaying the meal.

Besides, with the superior demon race food material at hand, they currently have no interest in the monster race; otherwise, whether those two demon emperors could even make it out of Tianhong Guan would be up for debate.

According to the usual nature of Dao Yi Shengdi, how could they let such food material delivered right to their mouths go by?

However, right now everyone is preoccupied with the demon race and temporarily has no time to deal with these monster race beings.

With better food material available, the monster race naturally has to step back a bit.

They had no sense of danger at all; the way things unfolded was completely unlike what they imagined. The two demon emperors were utterly bewildered, full of doubt, yet they did not choose to simply leave.

"Something feels off about Tianhong Guan."

"It really is off; they don't seem to be worried about the demon race at all."

"Yeah, but how could that be possible? The demon race is currently outside Tianhong Guan, and relying on just the human race alone, how could they possibly hold them off?"

"This matter seems rather suspicious."

Full of doubt, the two demon emperors led their group to wander around inside Tianhong Guan.

Their idea is actually quite simple: they just want to figure out the hidden truth behind this.

However, they completely failed to realize that, as food material, strutting around the streets like this is really rather disrespectful to people.

This is like a flock of sheep taking a stroll inside a wolf's den— isn't that just asking for death?

Therefore, as they passed by, many human cultivators, upon seeing these monster race food materials, revealed a strange look in their eyes.

"This.......... this isn't just teasing my hunger, is it?"

"Why not just take care of them?"

"But I don't feel like eating monster race food material right now; I want to eat demon race food material."

"Then why not capture them and keep them on hand for emergencies?"

Although they didn't have much in mind, strutting back and forth in front of us like that is really rather disrespectful.

Not to mention the ordinary disciples, even the many human Great Saints couldn't help but want to take action.

This is food material, after all—it's been delivered right to our mouths; isn't this just inviting people to make a mistake?

At first, though, everyone was busy eating, so things were temporarily peaceful enough.

But after the scramble, some human cultivators who hadn't managed to get a meal slot, upon seeing these monster race food materials again, found their thoughts inevitably starting to stir.

At first it was fine, until someone spoke up.

"You say, if we take down these food materials, could the Rice Ancestor give us a bowl to eat? After all, we're providing the food materials."

"Huh???"

"Can we exchange the food material for a bowl of rice?" As soon as this idea was raised, everyone's gaze changed.

"That actually makes a bit of sense; since we can't win by force, if we contribute effort, exchanging food material for a bowl of rice isn't too much, right?"

"It seems feasible; we can discuss it with the Rice Ancestor later."

"Even if it's just monster race food material, as long as it's made by the Rice Ancestor, the flavor will definitely not be lacking."

Saliva unconsciously began to flow, and sensing the gradually changing gazes of the surrounding human cultivators, the two leading monster race beings inexplicably felt a chill.

"What's going on? Why do I feel that these people's gazes are somehow off?"

"You feel it too?"

"Nonsense, they've been staring at us straight on all the way."

All around the monster beasts, more and more human cultivators gradually gathered, each of their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Some even kept licking their lips.

The atmosphere grew ever stranger; the monster beasts felt a creepy sensation in their hearts, and without even bothering to investigate further, they immediately decided to turn around and leave.

"Let's leave first and talk later—these humans are weird, something's not right."

But just as this group of monster beasts was about to leave, the surrounding human cultivators suddenly closed in.

Seeing this, the two leading monster race beings' expressions changed—what do they want? What do these humans intend to do?

"What are you doing? We came here specifically to pay a visit, as we told your human ancestors."

"Nothing much; since you're here to visit, why rush off? Staying a bit longer would be better."

"We have important matters to attend to, so we won't linger."

"That won't do; if word gets out, people will think we humans don't know how to treat guests."

"You.............."

Many human cultivators blocked the monster race's path, and even several human Great Saint powerhouses came over.

Seeing the demon race surrounded by many humans, they no longer had the calm they had just moments ago.

What the hell do these humans want to do? They wouldn't be thinking of attacking them, would they?

That's a good guess, completely correct.

Seeing the demon race ingredients insist on leaving, the crowd dropped the pretense, and the leading few Cultivation: Great Saint powerhouses let out a cold shout.

"First capture them, then talk."

"Okay."

"Wait, what are you doing? What do you want to do?"

"Now is a critical moment, all races are joining forces to deal with the Demonic Race, and you dare to attack us?"

Unfortunately, the many human cultivators paid no heed, swarmed up, and in a few moves subdued these demon race ingredients.

Two demon emperors were bound tightly with the Demon-Binding Rope, their eyes full of shock and anger, as they roared.

"You...... what do you want to do?"

"Let me go......"

However, the many human cultivators paid no heed to their roars; instead, they started arguing among themselves.

"Don't fight me over it, I was the one who caught this demon beast just now."

"Nonsense, the Demon-Binding Rope was given to you by me."

"What kind of reasoning is that? Aside from one Demon-Binding Rope, it's all you? I'll give you three."

"I owe you three Demon-Binding Ropes? Anyway, this demon race ingredient is mine, at least I get a share."

"Are you shameless? Just handing over a rope, and now you claim a share?"
