Chapter 384: Chapter 331: Wolves beneath Human Skin! Blades Flashing, Slaying the Human Traitor! (4202)_2

Upon seeing Qin Zheng remain silent,

the old man continued, "However, the situation in Zhenning City soon attracted the attention of a Dragon Demon!"

"He claimed to be the Eighth Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace. Though his bloodline was impure, he indeed possessed the majesty of a dragon, and his strength was formidable, surpassing even the three lords by a notch."

"He asserted to the three lords that if Zhenning City did not pay tribute to him, he would stir up tempestuous waves and disturb the peace of the city, even leading the forces of the Dragon Palace to attack Zhenning City!"

"With no other choice, the three lords had to agree to his terms and offer tributes on schedule."

"Only then did they manage to appease him."

"As for what was offered as tribute..."

At this point, the old man hesitated, as if he dared not speak further.

But at this moment, Qin Zheng had already come to a realization.

"The tribute is members of the Human race, isn’t it?"

He spoke calmly.

"Yes!"

The old man nodded vehemently.

He said hastily, "That Dragon Demon, despite being a Heavenly Immortal powerhouse, still indulges in human flesh like a common member of the Demon race!"

"Thus, we had no choice but to bow down to him, for without a Top Heavenly Immortal to guard Zhenning City, it simply cannot withstand his torment!"

"And given the current situation of the Human race, we cannot afford to provoke the Dragon Palace!"

"If we did not do this, the plight of the Human race would be even more perilous!"

At this time, Qin Zheng slightly bowed his head, making it hard to read his expression, but his voice was exceptionally cold as he said:

"So you searched the lower worlds near the Lingxu Realm, capturing people from there to offer as tribute to that Dragon Demon, is that it?"

Upon hearing his words, the old man trembled and then knelt down, crying out, "We had no other choice!"

"That Dragon Demon’s demands are too great! If we were to capture people from the Nine Domains of the Human race within the Lingxu Realm, it would surely be discovered sooner or later!"

"Colluding with the Great Demon would meet with the scorn of the Human race, so we had no choice but to look to the surrounding lower worlds of the Lingxu Realm!"

"The Dharmakaya Beings from the Yuanyang Realm were taken as tributes, delivered to that Monster Dragon’s abode!"

After finishing, the old man seemed ready to face death, pleading in a mournful voice, "Both of you lords! I am well aware of the gravity of my sins, and I am ashamed before the Human race!"

"Today, I only ask for death, and I implore you to grant me this mercy!"

After he finished saying this,

the strong beings of the Human race behind him also spoke out with righteous indignation, "We who knew but did not report are ashamed before the Human race, please grant us death, lords!"

The crowd was emotionally charged, as if they were about to embark on a noble sacrifice.

And their voices thundered like a torrential river, bursting out of the hall and echoing over the entirety of Zhenning City.

Immortal Lord Xiaoyao’s eyes slightly narrowed.

If the situation were truly as described, it could be considered excusable, for in the face of the entire Human race, sacrificing a part of beings below the Immortal Realm to achieve temporary stability was permissible,

But...

His gaze brushed over the young man beside him.

At that moment, Qin Zheng slowly stood up and said, "Before I emerged, the Yuanyang Realm had always been ruled by a Golden Crow of Dharma Body Rank."

"In the Yuanyang Realm of that time, the Human race was treated like livestock, to be taken and demanded at will, with no dignity to speak of!"

"It was only after my rise, slaying it, that the Yuanyang Realm welcomed peace."

"But this act drew the attention of a Golden Crow Great Demon of Human Immortal Rank, who sought to obliterate Yuanyang!"

"What’s worse, after I killed it and came to the Lingxu Realm, I was greeted by not one but four Golden Crow Great Demons of Human Immortal Rank!"

"At that time, I merely thought that within the Human race’s territory, there was disturbance from the Demon race, with no other suspicions."

"But as I gradually came to understand Lingxu, I learned that there were Human race strongholds on the frontier defending against the Demon race!"

"I knew of the eleven frontier cities, stationed at the borders of the Human race, guarding against any Demon race that sought to invade."

"Now, I would like to ask you all, how did those Golden Crow Great Demons enter the Xuanyuan Domain, brazenly and rampantly within the territory of the Human race?!"

Qin Zheng’s voice was calm and waveless, as though he was recounting a story to a friend.

Yet in the ears of the crowd below, it was as if the King of Hell had spoken, shattering souls and seizing lives!

A Human Immortal, overwhelmed by fear, could no longer contain himself and instantly turned to flee the hall.

But in the next moment.

Whoosh!

A giant hand pierced through the void and grasped his head.

In horror, he tried to struggle free, only to find that the giant hand holding his head was utterly unshakable!

At this moment, Qin Zheng turned towards the old man and said in a cold voice, "You have not spoken the truth, or rather, you haven’t revealed the complete truth!"

"But that’s no longer important,"

he said, shifting his gaze to the other people in the hall.

"Since you all seek death, I will grant your wish today!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Bang!

Qin Zheng’s slender fingers suddenly clenched tightly together, and the head of the Human Immortal in his hand exploded into a mess of red and white.

And the door slammed shut instantly.

At that moment, cries of panic and anger erupted inside the hall.

"This is outrageous!!"

"Everyone, attack together! Strike now!"

"What can we do? We’re all forced into this, aren’t we?"

"He’s just an Earth Immortal! If we join forces, it’s not impossible to defeat him!"

"..."

Amidst the furious roars, streams of aura shot towards the sky, instantly blowing off the roof of the City Lord’s Mansion!

Dozens of Immortal Realm auras, including Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals, converged at that moment, exuding an almost extreme pressure!

But in the next instant,

Boom!

A grand and majestic blade light, mixed with Boundless Blazing Flames, soared into the sky, turning the firmament above Zhenning City into a sea of crimson red.

Then those dozens of Immortal Realm auras dissipated, just like being blown away by the wind, completely vanishing between heaven and earth.

At this moment, in the empty land of the City Lord’s Mansion,

Qin Zheng slowly sheathed his sword.

Apart from that steward old man, all the other powerhouses of the human race had been turned to ash in that one strike.

"Hehehe...,"

The steward old man seemed to be frightened out of his wits at this point, making incoherent noises, and slumping onto the ground.

Even though he himself was a Human Immortal, there was a puddle of liquid flowing out from between his legs.

Qin Zheng looked at him and asked again, "Besides paying tribute in human lives to that Dragon Demon, what else have the three major forces done."

This time, the old man jolted to attention and burst into tears as he began to speak, "They also passed detailed intelligence of the human race to that Dragon Demon!

"In turn, the Dragon Demon gives it to the Demon race, so the demons would not harass Zhenning City, and the Dragon Demon also receives benefits from the demons!"

"At the same time, they allowed some of the Demon race to enter the Xuanyuan Domain and commanded the human race powerhouses there not to report the news; otherwise, they would take action!"

"That’s all I know! Beyond this, I really know nothing else!"

At this moment, the old man stopped hiding and lying and spilled everything he knew.

One strike had slain dozens of Immortal Realm powerhouses!

The shock brought by this one strike far surpassed that of the previously nonchalant slaying of the three Heavenly Immortals!

And hearing his words, even Immortal Lord Xiaoyao’s face contorted with displeasure at this moment!

Passing information about the human race to the Demon race!

This was no different from collusion with the enemy!

Under such circumstances, the human race was as exposed as if naked before the Demon race, with every little change known to the enemy!

No wonder since the invasion by the Wancheng Demon Nation, the human race had more defeats than victories!

Whenever the demons launched an invasion, they always brought out just enough power to suppress their own!

Previously, it was all attributed to the Demon race’s great foundation, but who could have imagined that there were also Human Traitors aiding them!

Thinking of this, flames seemed to burn in Immortal Lord Xiaoyao’s eyes.

"These traitorous dogs! I’ll wipe them all clean!"

He spoke furiously.

But at that moment, Qin Zheng stopped him and said, "Call the other two over."

If such a situation had occurred in Zhenning City, it was very likely that the remaining three cities had the same issue!

Only by having the three Top Heavenly Immortals simultaneously appear in the remaining three cities could one prevent anyone from receiving the news and erasing the evidence beforehand!

Immortal Lord Xiaoyao immediately understood Qin Zheng’s intention and nodded, saying, "We’ve already made a move in Zhenning City; the next steps need to be quickened! I’ll go first!"

After saying that, he stepped forward, merging into the void in an instant.

Qin Zheng’s gaze then turned back to the steward old man, continuing to ask, "Do you know where that Dragon Demon resides?"
