Chapter 97: The Demonic Cultivators’ Intention, They Do Resemble Humans After All

Cultivators and commoners.

These were two groups of people that were completely distinct from one another as cultivators possessed strengths that no commoners could attain and were far superior.

So from the perspective of the commoners, cultivators were just like goddesses.

Naturally, most cultivators would develop a sense of superiority because to them, the lives of commoners were not even worth mentioning.

However, if they did not believe in karma, fate, and destinies, most cultivators were not much better than demonic cultivators.

This was a good example.

In an attempt to boost their reputations and rewards for the incident this time, several sage orthodoxies had delayed their assistance to maximize their benefits.

They did not care at all how many had died in making that decision. They simply deemed it morally acceptable by justifying to themselves that they did not directly commit those sins.

Upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s question, Seventh Forefather was silent for a moment before he lamented, “It is indeed a fact that the sage orthodoxies do not lack irresponsible cultivators.”

Chu Kuangren nodded. “I understand now.”

…

The Mountain River City was once where the sage orthodoxy, Mountain River Sect, resided. However, following the demise of the sage orthodoxy, the location soon descended into utter chaos.

It was until an alliance of sage orthodoxies occupied and managed this land that the situation improved.

At this moment, a huge party was held in a restaurant where countless guests danced, feasted, and clinked glasses with one another.

It was a huge contrast to the outside world, where many were left starving, their shelters destroyed, and their clothes torn after the onslaught of demonic cultivators.

“Come, allow me, Host Lee, to finish this drink for all the sky-prides who are here with us today. All of you are kind people for being so willing to come out and save the day.”

At the party, a middle-aged man in a Chinese robe was smiling away. Standing before him were the sky-prides from Zhiyang Valley, Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom, Five Way Sect, and many others.

“Host Lee, your compliment is too generous. Eradicating demonic cultivators are our duties,” Fangtian from the Five Ways Sect said heroically. If one did know better, one would have assumed this individual had slain countless demonic cultivators and saved many lives.

“Daoist Fang, what you said does make sense.”

Host Lee smiled and nodded. Then, he hesitated for a moment before he said, “This demonic onslaught has been going on for seven days now. I was wondering are you guys planning to make a move? If this continues, I’m afraid Northern Lingdao will soon fall.”

Although he posed this question, Host Lee was actually furious.

The group of sky-prides had been in Mountain River City for a few days now, yet they still had not attended to the situation. Instead, they were busy indulging themselves in many pleasures too.

“Give it a few more days. Not only are there members from Demon Vow Sect, but there are many from other demonic orthodoxies too. I’ll wait for all of them to come and slay them all at once!”

Gu Changge said calmly as he sipped his beer.

“Exactly. The reason why these demonic cultivators are mushrooming out of nowhere is that they’re searching for a Sage Ruler Weapon that belonged to a Supreme Demonic Honorable. Even if we act after they found it, it still won’t be too late,” Lin Batian said.

Their investigations from the past few days had found their conclusion. The Supreme Demonic Honorable had never come to live at all. Instead, the party responsible for destroying the Mountain River Sect was a youngster that resembled the Supreme Demonic Honorable and a mysterious elder.

The duo’s goal was to acquire the Sage Ruler Weapon which the Supreme Demonic Honorable had yielded to rule over the world. Soon, news of the duo spread across various demonic orthodoxies and demonic cultivators from all over the Azure Dragon Domain soon flocked towards Northern Lingdao.

“Tsk, the Sage Ruler Weapon, the Demonic spear of Apocalypse, was the reason why the Supreme Demonic Honorable was able to dominate over sages and ruled his territories. However, after the death of the Supreme Demonic Honourable, the spear had gone missing. No one would’ve thought that it was hidden within Northern Lingdao all along,” the White Lotus Bachelor Sage said as his eyes reflected his burning desire.

After all, it was a Sage Ruler Weapon.

A Sage weapon was already alluring enough to grab the attention of countless cultivators, what more for an even sophisticated weapon like a Sage Ruler Weapon.

Amongst the loud chatter of the sky-prides, all of the discussions centered around the strength of the Sage Ruler Weapon, but none talked about entering the battle. Host Lee was feeling more nervous as time passed.

“Let me in!” At that moment, a youngster rushed in and stared furiously at all the sky-prides in the banquet.

“The Daoist of the Mountain River Sect? Oh, what’s the matter?” Gu Changge stared coldly at the person and said.

The youngster was one of the only remaining survivors from the Mountain River Sect. He glanced across the delicacies that were served on the table and asked angrily, “When exactly are you all going to join the fight?”

“My fellow Daoist, do not panic. We will act when the time necessitates.”

“When’s that? When Northern Lingdao’s residents are almost wiped out?” The Mountain River Sect’s Daoist asked.

“Nonsense! Don’t forget that the only reason why Northern Lingdao would descend into such chaos was that the Mountain River Sect is useless in defending it. We’re kind enough to come and clear up your mess. What’s that attitude all about?”

A Daoist from the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom retorted.

At this, the Mountain River Daoist was even more furious. “While it may be true that the Mountain River Sect has failed to prevent the demonic onslaught from happening, your organizations don’t deserve to be called a sage orthodoxy if you just sit here and watch as the demons take countless lives!”

“Hilarious. We could’ve completely disregarded this incident and let the entire Northern Lingdao be reduced to smithereens. However, now that we’re here, not only did you not show your gratitude, but you dare question us? Preposterous!”

“The ones who are being preposterous are all of you! For the past few days, the Mountain River City has hosted you generously. The Lee Family, Wang Family, and Zhang Family have all exhausted their wealth just to plead for your help. Alas, what did any of you achieve?”

“You’ve taken advantage of their services but failed to perform your basic duty. You’re no more than a thief who roams the streets! Demon slaying operation? It’s all just a huge joke!”

The Mountain River Daoist was grinding his teeth as he stared resentfully at the sky-prides before him.

“Mountain River Daoist, please read the situation. The more you offend us, the more unwilling we’re only going to be. By then, the casualties of the Northern Lingdao would only increase. Your words now carry the weight of millions of lives within the city, are you sure you want to speak any further?”

Gu Changge said calmly.

“You’re threatening me!” The Mountain River Daoist’s face became solemn.

“So what if I am?”

At that point, the sky-prides present were also sick of pretending to be so gentlemanly, so they looked at the Mountain River Daoist with mischievous intent.

Clap clap clap…

Then, a clapping sound could be heard.

A youngster dressed in a white robe was slowly walking into the private room.

A few of the sky-prides immediately stood up in a panic when they saw the person.

“Chu Kuangren!”

“It’s Chu Kuangren, he’s here!”

Chu Kuangren walked into the private room, took a sweeping glance across the venue, and said, “What a happening occasion to be having a party here. The dishes don’t look half bad at all. They’re definitely way better than what the beggars at the corridors were chewing on.”

“These beggars were starving and didn’t even have proper clothes to put on, unlike all of you, who’re covered in glorious silk clothes. Ugh, when dogs put on clothes like these, they do resemble humans after all.”

Then, the expression on Gu Changge and company changed. Of course, they had picked up on Chu Kuangren’s subtle reference of them as a pack of dogs.

“Chu Kuangren, you watch your mouth!”

One of the sky-prides snorted.

Chu Kuangren did not even turn to look at that person at all. Instead, he slammed his palm midair and sent a surge of spiritual energy directly towards the sky-pride.

With a smack, the sky-pride immediately jolted backward and landed on a table before the boiling pots of soup spilled onto his body and the sky-pride let out a pitiful cry.
