Capítulo 1318: Chapter 1289: The Trouble with Leaving Loose Ends
The Demon Clan is a race.
But people have had many definitions of demons.
However, no matter what the definition, it is merely a judgment from a personal perspective.
Now, in the eyes of these robbers under the name of the Allied Forces, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang are two demons.
These two demons suddenly appeared, without saying a word, they directly seriously injured them, and even more outrageously, one of them directly abolished their cultivation.
Turning them from high and mighty Martial Artists to ordinary people in an instant.
For those who have grown accustomed to having martial force, in the minor world, power is everything to them. Once they lose their power, they are nothing.
What Li Chen did was no different from taking away everything from them, so in their eyes, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang are demons.
Yet they forget, not long ago, these people were ruthlessly plundering a group of ordinary people. They seized the food and wealth these people had accumulated through hard work, and even their relatives weren’t spared.
To those ordinary people, how could these robbers not also be seen as demons?
Li Chen originally planned to solve these scourges thoroughly, but under Ning Wangyang’s persuasion, he let these fellows leave.
According to Ning Wangyang, these guys have lost their power and can no longer do any bad deeds.
“There were too many people killed when I was a demon; suddenly, I feel tired of killing,” Ning Wangyang said with a bitter smile and shook his head.
Li Chen was also full of helplessness. He didn’t know how to respond to Ning Wangyang’s statement, but he clearly knew that Ning Wangyang’s current state was definitely abnormal.
Previously, Ning Wangyang could not be described as having a heavy killing intent, but he would never hesitate when necessary.
But this time, he was evidently lenient.
Li Chen clearly saw the venomous gaze in the eyes of those fellows as they left, though he didn’t believe they could pose any threat to him, he still felt a bit uneasy.
“Wangyang, it seems you’ve forgotten the principle of cutting the weeds without removing the roots, they’ll grow again with the spring breeze.”
Declining the villagers’ gratitude, the two continued their journey.
They came from the East, heading all the way west.
The place they were going was not hard to guess.
The Demon Clan!
Although Ning Wangyang’s curse had been lifted, there was still an urgent issue for the two to resolve.
Going home!
They needed to find the way home, back to the Main World.
From Patricia’s mouth, Li Chen learned that in the eastern races, only the Elf Race possessed a Cross Sword, and it was left by the only elf elder who created the minor world barrier.
As for other races…
Patricia was unsure if they had one, but she knew that most reproducing races came here after the minor world barrier was completed.
Thus, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang had few options.
The Demon Clan was also one of the longest-existing races in the minor world, and currently, due to the war, the Demon Clan was in a disadvantageous position. Their plan was to visit the Demon Clan and see the fate of the Demon Clan, and maybe find a way back to the Main World.
However, what the two didn’t know was that after they left, the group of robbers didn’t disperse but headed straight to a city.
Here, it was a gathering point for the Allied Forces and one of the main points recaptured after striking the Demon Clan.
“Sir! Sir!”
A group of people rushed into the city crying loudly.
“What’s happened?” Soldiers from the Allied Forces within the city saw them.
“We were attacked by the Demon Clan, they looked like the Human Race, but they’re genuine demons. Look, our cultivations have been abolished by them. Apart from the Demon Clan, who else could do such a cruel thing?”
A group of people made a racket, attracting many onlookers. Soon, the matter was passed up level by level.
“What? More demons appearing? That’s not right, haven’t we defeated all the demons in this area? Even those demons that aren’t dead should’ve escaped back to the Demon Clan’s lair, how can they be here?”
“Rumor has it there’s a Demon Clan spy?”
Upon hearing the word ‘spy,’ several leaders perked up their ears sensitively.
In the recent war, there were various situations, including people defecting to the Demon Clan.
To a leader, having traitors among one’s race is a very humiliating matter.
“Those people said they looked like the Human Race?” An old man with a full white beard from the Human Race spoke coldly.
“Yes, it seems they mentioned the Human Race.”
Noticing the peculiar gazes from others present, the Old Man White-bearded sneered: “Send someone to investigate! I want to see if someone is disguising themselves as our Human Race! Nowadays, demons prefer to transform into human forms to deceive, and other races have such examples too.”
“Yes!”
Soon, a team led by an old man left the city, heading in the direction where Li Chen and Ning Wangyang had departed.
The robbers dared not tell soldiers the village they looted, only pointed out the direction Li Chen and Ning Wangyang left.
In their view, if the Allied Forces encountered the two, they would definitely clash. Once a conflict occurred, it wouldn’t matter how much they framed and falsely accused them.
“Those two jerks, thinking raw power lets them do whatever they want? Wait until the Allied Forces find you, let’s see how you handle it!” The man who had previously screamed at Li Chen resentfully whispered to himself.
Li Chen and Ning Wangyang did not hide their traces, and their pace wasn’t very fast.
This was because the two understood, before the Allied Forces completely invaded the Demon Clan, if they went to the Demon Clan first, they would stir up quite a lot of trouble.
Neither feared trouble, but they didn’t want unnecessary trouble either.
So they walked leisurely, waiting for the Allied Forces to counterattack and enter the Demon Clan’s territory while also enjoying the sights of the minor world.
They had been in the minor world for some time now, but never had such leisure to enjoy the scenery of the minor world.
To them, this was a rare moment of relaxation.
“You two up ahead! Stop!”
A solemn voice called out behind them.
Turning back, they saw a group of martial artists approaching rapidly on horseback.
Taking a glance at the Racial Coalition flag in the midst of the riders, Li Chen glanced at Ning Wangyang beside him and shrugged.
His meaning was clear.
“I told you so.”
