Jiang Ziyang said frankly, "Every human faction within Azure Sea Lake has now chosen to support Your Highness, the Third Prince."
"We have four seventh-tier cultivators and hundreds of thousands of Dao Soldiers under our command, all at Your Highness's disposal."
Hu Xiaozi sighed at this. "Old Jiang, you've truly put everything on the table this time."
The foundations the humans of Azure Sea Lake had accumulated over many years made their overall strength no less formidable than the top three of the Nine Great Demon Clans. The four seventh-tier cultivators alone constituted an immensely powerful force.
Filled with gratitude, you cupped your hands. "With such wholehearted support from you, Master Jiang, I, Gu Xing, truly have no way to repay you."
Your feelings were sincere. Whoever ultimately won the struggle for the Dragon Palace, the humans were a force every faction had to do its utmost to win over.
Even if the humans had chosen to oppose you today and sided with your eldest uncle and your other uncles, you would never have moved against them once the dust settled.
The human race formed the foundation of life in this realm and bore the fortune of an entire world.
After more than ten thousand years of living and multiplying here, the humans had long since blended with Azure Sea Lake like milk with water.

Their fates had long been tightly bound together, impossible to separate.
Moreover, throughout the Southern Shu Territory, only demons wielded the authority of fruit status. Any wholesale slaughter of humans would generate a heavy burden of karma and invite heavenly punishment that would be difficult to escape.
Thus, whichever faction Jiang Ziyang
