Chapter 668: Humans and Demons (13)

What!?

"What did you say..."

Shuda's pupils constricted, staring fixedly at the wings behind the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant.

Not a demon?

But those wings clearly... No, he is definitely a demon!

"Hahaha, is the Lord joking?" Shuda forced himself to remain calm and laughed dryly: "With such divine and martial wings on your back, Lord, could you possibly be of the Human Race?"

"Heh, you are right; this Divine Servant's wings are indeed divine and peerless."

The Divine Servant proudly flapped the feathered wings behind him, "However, these were not born with me, but were bestowed by the Divine Lord of a Hundred Eyes, allowing me to obtain these divine wings that can soar to the heavens and dive into the earth!"

Shuda narrowed his eyes, his back molars grinding with increasing force as he suppressed his rage, probing: "... Could it be, Lord, that you are of the Human Race?"

The biggest reason it chose to be so servile and keep the peace was the belief that, looking at the camaraderie of being fellow members of the Demon Race, the other party would not go too far.

But now it seems... this guy is actually a human?

This made Shuda's expression turn gloomy, and the way he looked at the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant became increasingly hostile, to the point where even his superficial disguise was barely being maintained.

Thirty years ago, Demon Emperor City returned to Shenzhou, and under the tacit consent of all parties and the push of secret hands, the Human Race and the Demon Race merged once again.

A large number of transformed demons appeared in the cultivation world to exchange pointers with human cultivators, and some human heroes were also invited into Demon Emperor City to comprehend the various classics of all races preserved from the ancient era.

Both sides took what they needed and shared what they had; after more than a decade of integration, the relationship between the two sides was greatly eased.

The blood feud between humans and demons, which had continued since the ancient era, was naturally not so easily wiped away.

At first, a considerable portion of conservative humans expressed resistance and strongly opposed the re-integration.

Perhaps the pain left behind during the internal strife of the Heavenly Court was too tragic; almost all human sects retained commandments and warnings to be cautious when dealing with the Demon Race.

This group brought out various ancestral teachings to protest.

As the saying goes, the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed.

Regarding this, the Demon Emperor City side was not angry and did not force them to accept them, only requesting that they not attack the Demon Race without cause, and gave more quotas to other human sects willing to trust the Demon Race.

The Demon Race's unique secret arts, magic treasures, and cultivation methods... except for the Demon Emperor Palace which was not made public, almost every place in Demon Emperor City was opened to the invitees.

It was even said that as long as both sides were willing, the Demon Race could sign contracts with the Human Race to serve as mounts and Spirit Pets, with both sides helping and complementing each other, allowing their strength to improve significantly.

This sincerity was quite substantial, truly moving many people and making those conservatives watch with red eyes, unable to sit still any longer.

After finally being unable to resist trying it once... they truly fell in love with it, silently changing their own strategies and never mentioning the total extermination of the Demon Race again.

"Ancestors? What ancestors? Never heard of them!"

"Ahem!"

"The laws of the ancestors must also advance with the times!"

"It is better to have no books than to believe everything in books!"

"Besides, we have studied it; the time the two races of humans and demons have been on good terms is much longer!"

Although this statement had the flavor of sophistry and quibbling, it was the absolute truth.

Compared to these few thousand years of brief conflict, even adding the struggles of the primordial era, it did not equal the time humans and demons were on good terms.

The camaraderie that once existed between the two races was even longer, and it was not easy to dissipate completely.

In fact, in recent years, there have even been reports of humans and demons uniting, with a new generation of Half-Demons being born, inheriting the strengths of their parents, with talent even stronger than the previous generation!

The daughter of one such couple performed most astonishingly; the moment she was born, she triggered changes in the celestial phenomena, and Heaven actually bestowed a Plum Wood Sword!

That Plum Wood Sword was suspected to be a Supreme Treasure lost in the ancient times, even making many Immortal Gods jealous, causing them to send many spokespersons to inquire.

A certain Immortal God could not resist the greed and wanted to personally intervene to snatch it, but before he could succeed, he turned into a handful of yellow soil without warning!

No one knew exactly what happened... only the fearful wails before his fall could prove that there was definitely some terrifying existence in the dark looking down on everything.

Although the atmosphere of the current cultivation world has changed, appearing as a prosperous age, the three Shuda brothers do not like the Human Race.

They belong to the stubborn faction of the Demon Race, and the most extreme part at that; unable to resist the temptation of flesh and blood, there was simply no possibility of them changing.

However, they did not reveal this on the surface, appearing to follow the Demon Emperor's instructions to interact with the Human Race, but deep down they always looked down on humans, treating them as food, often feigning cooperation while attacking from behind.

Dong Yushu and her companions were just one of the prey they had targeted, and the victims who had suffered at their hands numbered over dozens.

If this Divine Servant were human... then there would be nothing left to talk about.

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant did not know the thoughts in Shuda's heart, and even if he noticed the change in its emotions, he did not take it to heart, continuing to show off his wings proudly like a peacock.

"Of course, this Divine Servant is no longer human!"

"After receiving the grace of the Divine Lord, I have stopped being human! I have transcended the limits of both humans and demons! I am of the God Race!"

"Look! These wings are the proof! Allowing me, who was once human, to obtain the power of the Demon Race! How awe-inspiring this great power is!"

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant was intoxicated by himself, repeating it like a delirious mutter, not noticing that the three Demon brothers at his feet had secretly changed positions, forming a triangle and enclosing him in the middle.

"Alright, since you already know the greatness of this Divine Servant, honestly tell me your crimes! If you are sensible, then perhaps I can put in a good word for you in the Heavenly Court."

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant had come here under orders to investigate the fall of that tree demon god, and incidentally see if he could find any leftover benefits.

He did not expect that the fall of the two Demon Gods would change the rules of this space, teleporting him here; now it would certainly be too late to rush over, so he had to give up.

However, Heaven does not cut off all paths, and he happened to run into these three brothers.

These three guys did not look like good people at first glance, guarding here in the middle of the night; there must be a discovery here!

Treasure? Cultivation method?

It doesn't matter; as long as there is a harvest, it can make up for some of his losses.

He was still continuing, thinking that these three should be thanking him tearfully and offering the treasure with both hands, but unexpectedly heard a harsh sneer:

"Heavenly Court? Pfft! You Butian Alliance still don't know how to give up, insisting on gilding your own faces." Shuer sneered with a thief-like look in his eyes, raising his hand to make an obscene gesture: "In my opinion, it would be better to call it the Shameless Alliance, hahaha!"

!!?

"What did you say!?"

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant was immediately furious upon hearing this, glaring at Shuer who had spoken: "Ignorant rat! It is one thing that you do not respect the Heavenly Court in your hearts, but you actually dare to spout such nonsense in front of this Divine Servant!"

As he spoke, his pressure shook the heavens, destroying the clouds across this stretch of sky, fully displaying the strength of the Formless Peak.

It was not as if he hadn't encountered defiant troublemakers before, but as soon as he displayed his strength like this, the other party would honestly tuck their tails between their legs.

But this time, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant was destined to be disappointed.

"Damn it! So what if you're Formless Peak!? I've been putting up with you for a long time!" Shuer spat and cursed angrily: "You keep calling us rat-bastards, calling us shifty-eyed! Do you really think the three of us brothers are easy to bully!?"

Shu San: "Big Brother! Second Brother is right! Let's teach him a lesson!"

Shuda, who had been enduring humiliation all this time, nodded indifferently and said quickly: "Mm, make it clean."

Looking at the stance of these three brothers, they didn't put the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant in their eyes at all.

Being looked down upon like this, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant naturally could not endure it, and he laughed in extreme anger: "Good, good, good! Since you are seeking your own deaths, then this Divine Servant will send you on your way!"

"A broken Three Talents Array, do you really think you can trap me?"

He had not failed to notice it; he simply did not care!

……

……

A good opportunity!

Dong Yushu had originally been somewhat worried, but now that she had happened upon a helper, as long as someone held them back, she believed she could still easily slay those three rat demons!

Thinking of this, Dong Yushu wanted to push the door open and go out, exerting force suddenly, but she was pushed back.

No matter how she pushed, she could not push the door open.

The window of opportunity was fleeting, and Dong Yushu said anxiously: "My Lord! Please let me out; my enemies are outside the door."

【"No rush."】

!!!

"My Lord!!?"

Dong Yushu was startled; she had not expected the existence in the shadows to actually speak up on its own.

Was it not planning to interfere with her? Why had it suddenly revealed itself?

"What you mean is..."

Then, she heard a whisper filled with delight:

【"Watching a show."】
