The vast Heavenly Dao treated all living beings like straw dogs.
Zhang Chen fell silent at those words, a trace of compassion appearing in his eyes. In the end, he was someone with a conscience, not one of those beasts.
Jinling City held tens of millions of commoners. If they were all buried in the mouths of demon beasts, it would be far too bloody and cruel.
If Zhang Chen had truly been so cold and heartless, he would not have repeatedly ruined the Pacifying Border Prince's Mansion's grand plans in the northern lands back then.
"Humans eat chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. Is that not the same as demons eating humans? This is the principle of karmic cycles and the workings of the Heavenly Dao." Gu Mingyue spoke from the side, trying to persuade him.
"Besides, I can swear an oath that once we break the Demon Race's great formation, I can take Jinling City's people to settle along the Yangtze River. Within the Yangtze region, I can unleash Twelfth Order cultivation. At that time, the Demon Race can forget about committing slaughter, and these tens of millions of people will be able to survive."
"If we abandon some people as bait now, we will have a chance to suppress the Demon Race's supreme experts and force them to open the Twelve Divine Generals Array. Then we may have a chance to escape alive. If we do not set out bait, all the commoners will be reduced to ashes, and we will have no hope of escaping the slaughter of the Twelve Divine Generals Array." Gu Mingyue continued persuading him.
"I understand! Just act according to the plan. When the time comes, I will naturally lend you a hand." Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.
