Demon Race Attacks!

Everyone has their own ambitions and their own plans.

Sheng Yue believed that one cannot build something new without destroying it; one must destroy before one can build.

Ye Qingcang's plan was to wait for the conflict to escalate.

It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

It's just a matter of whether the methods are clever or not.

One is gambling with family ties.

One is gambling with hatred.

Therefore, after Ye Qingcang and Sheng Yue tacitly chose to remain silent, the so-called argument was limited to Sheng Cai'er and Sheng Lingxin, and had nothing to do with Lan Yanyu.

Lan Yanyu is a very complicated person.

Fortunately, people have two sides.

Lan Yanyu's obsession was not quite schizophrenia. Ye Qingcang's previous actions of pressing her head with the Jade Bamboo Staff, forcing her to kneel, and refuting her words with reason and evidence were enough to suppress her obsession.

That's why she didn't dare to interfere in the argument between Sheng Cai'er and Sheng Lingxin. Instead, she sat in her chair, listening in a daze. It was obvious that her mental state was off.

There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.

Let's talk business when it's business, and politics when it's politics.

Attacking the heart is sufficient; going too far is as bad as not doing so.

Just as Sheng Cai'er and Sheng Lingxin were arguing, Ye Qingcang and Sheng Yue were sitting and watching the show, and Lan Yanyu was standing aside looking lost and confused, and the chaotic scene was gradually filled with a strange and absurd feeling, Chen Ying'er, who was in a daze, was also sent over by a high-ranking member of the Soul Temple and handed over to San Shui, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

San Shui is a qualified audience member.

She was neither biased towards Sheng Yue nor towards Ye Qingcang.

As a mere bystander, she always kept her principles firmly in mind.

First: Do not interfere.

Second: Do not speak.

Third: Do not spread it.

However, Chen Ying'er didn't learn any of her grandmother San Shui's true skills. Even when San Shui, the perfect bystander, pulled her aside and fed her, she still couldn't learn anything from San Shui's teachings. She even cheerfully waved to Ye Qingcang and introduced him to her grandmother San Shui, saying, "Grandma, look, this is the summoned beast I told you about. I think his name is Ye Qingcang?"

San Shui's eye twitched slightly.

Look at the pastries in your hand.

Then look at my innocent little granddaughter.

She nodded awkwardly but politely to Ye Qingcang, then pulled Chen Ying'er back as she tried to run away. She sighed wearily, "There's a kind of hunger that only grandma can understand, and even food can't shut you up..."

Seeing Chen Ying'er being fed by San Shui, Ye Qingcang's mood improved considerably. It is said that no one has a good mouth when cursing or a good hand when hitting. If Sheng Yue wants to sacrifice the pawn to save the king and continue to develop like this, it is not impossible. But if Sheng Yue wants to have it all, judging from the situation of the quarrel between Sheng Cai'er and Sheng Lingxin, it is probably impossible in this lifetime, at least it is impossible for the family to be harmonious.

Therefore, it's inevitable that he, as a viewer, will be somewhat affected.

Human emotions are contagious.

Happiness is contagious, and so is anger.

A true strong person is not only strong in physical strength, but more importantly, strong in spirit. If one easily tramples on one's bottom line and code of conduct due to momentary emotional fluctuations, such a strong person is nothing more than an ordinary person with brute force.

With the slightest provocation, they will fall into a trap.

The Sheng Lingxin right now is an example.

Chen Ying'er also noticed the argument between Sheng Cai'er and Sheng Lingxin. After learning the details of the whole incident from her grandmother San Shui, her gaze towards Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu gradually changed. She lowered her voice and said, "This little sister is really so pitiful..."

San Shui looked at his petite granddaughter.

Then look at the graceful and Sheng Cai'er.

His gaze involuntarily became impolite, as if he had found an excuse, and he said righteously, "How dare you say that to someone? They're only fourteen years old, and you're already seventeen. It's one thing that you haven't grown taller, but you haven't gained weight in the places where you should. I think... you're not getting enough nutrition. You should eat more to supplement your diet!"

"Grandma..." Chen Ying'er rubbed her tummy, her tone full of excuses and wrangling, "I really can't eat anymore. This isn't a meal, it's a midnight snack. My stomach has its limits!"

San Shui smiled and continued his actions as before.

The hand holding the small cake was placed in front of Chen Ying'er.

It was as if it meant, "If you don't eat it, I'll keep holding it up."

Chen Ying'er knew her grandmother's personality. She touched her slightly full belly, thought for a moment, and then opened her little mouth to take a bite of the cake.

Girls have two stomachs.

One container holds main meals, and the other holds snacks.

It's no big deal to eat one more.

But this time, she bit into nothing!

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire Exorcist Pass. San Shui, who was caught off guard, was startled and subconsciously put down the cake in his hand. He turned his head to look at the city wall, and then instantly turned back to look at Ye Qingcang. A giant green antler deer with long horns, exuding a pressure comparable to 100,000 Year Soul Beast, slowly walked out from behind San Shui and immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Sheng Yue reacted better.

He simply placed his hands inside his chest.

He neither drew his dagger nor his short sword.

Sheng Lingxin, who was arguing with Sheng Cai'er, suddenly shut her mouth, her pupils contracted, and she looked towards the direction of the Exorcist Pass city wall. She visibly gritted her teeth, and her gaze towards Ye Qingcang was full of vigilance and suspicion. Considering the anger from her previous argument with Sheng Cai'er, she gave Sheng Cai'er an order without further ado, "You get back to your room immediately, face the wall and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to have any more physical contact with outsiders... Yan Yu, let's go. We'll leave this to Grandfather and the others."

The Sheng Lingxin is the military commander of the Exorcist Pass.

In other words, in military terms, he is the supreme commander of the Exorcist City. Once war breaks out with the Demon Race, any decision he makes is crucial, concerning the lives of millions of people, and he cannot be absent.

The alarm bells ringing loudly can only mean one thing.

The Demon Race are knocking on the gates!

Moreover, it wasn't just a small group of Demon Race!

There are at least ten thousand demons heading towards Exorcist Pass!

His first suspicion fell on this kid who called himself Ye Qingcang, because the timing of Ye Qingcang's summoning by Chen Ying'er was too clever. After being summoned, Ye Qingcang knocked out Qiu Yonghao, the temple master of the Warrior Temple, and also got involved with an Eighth Order summoner in the Soul Temple. Then, Ye Qingcang publicly broke his Lifebound Contract and somehow seduced Sheng Cai'er. Now, the alarm bells of the Exorcist Pass have been rung again. With more than 10,000 demons, he didn't believe there weren't Eighth Order demons among them. Right now, he had a big fight with his daughter. It all seemed like some underhanded psychological warfare tactic!

That's all to make him uneasy!

Then, working together from the inside and outside, they broke through the Exorcist Pass!

But doubt is just doubt. The fact that Sheng Lingxin was unable to remain calm when facing Sheng Cai'er does not mean that he would also be unable to remain calm when facing the Demon Race siege.

Even if Ye Qingcang really is Demon Race spy.

A Demon Race spy who could knock out Ninth Order, level 2 Light Sword God of War with a single punch was not someone a mere Seventh Order assassin like him could handle. His mission was to command, not to fight one-on-one.

So, after giving his brief instructions, Sheng Lingxin didn't even have time to get angry before he strode off toward the city wall.

The duality of human nature is fully manifested in the Sheng Lingxin at this moment.

He could be an angry father, a henpecked husband, or the military commander of the Exorcist Pass who prioritizes the greater good and bears the lives of millions of people on his shoulders. Because beyond the Exorcist Pass lies a plain, and if the Demon Race occupy the Exorcist Pass, they can advance unimpeded. The safety of the Exorcist Pass cannot be taken lightly.

When the Sheng Lingxin is still, neither will the Sheng Cai'er.

However, not making noise does not mean obeying orders.

You say your piece, I'll do mine.

Reflecting on one's mistakes while facing the wall?

I'm not going to face the wall, what can you do to me?

"Ye Qingcang, if you don't understand the meaning of that alarm bell just now, I think I can give you a brief explanation." Sheng Yue focused all his attention on Ye Qingcang. Although assassins are more agile than warriors, even he, the master of the Assassin Temple, dared not be careless facing someone who could instantly defeat Warrior Temple master. "The alarm bell indicates a large number of demons attacking the city. This 'large number' isn't just dozens or hundreds, but at least tens of thousands. I wonder if you could give us an explanation... why, after you arrived here, did the Demon Race launch an attack so unusually?"

"Because of your limited knowledge." Ye Qingcang put the bracelet he had just finished playing with back on his wrist, admiring his evenly knuckled hands. Then, he waved his hand casually, even though Sheng Yue's killing intent had locked onto his location, he still showed a lot of nonchalance and spoke in a lazy tone, "There are two reasons why the Demon Race launched an offensive. The first is that they have realized that their Destiny has been disrupted, and the second is that they have sensed the aura of the God of Divine Retribution. But before seeing the Demon God Emperor, I can't say for sure which reason it is. That's probably it."

"You mean... you're not Demon Race?"

"You've merely disrupted Destiny?"

"Or perhaps, what is your relationship to the God of Divine Retribution?"

"What is the God of Divine Retribution?"

"Does the Demon God Emperor have a grudge against it?"

"Would the Demon God Emperor descend upon the Exorcist Pass for these reasons?"

San Shui frowned, shielding the bewildered Chen Ying'er behind him. One after another Ninth Order Magical Beast leaped out from the unfolded Gate of Life, circling behind her and remaining vigilant according to her command.

A barrage of questions came at me like a machine gun.

It slammed down on Ye Qingcang.

However, Ye Qingcang resolved them one by one.

"Of course I am not Demon Race."

"If the Demon Race wants to take over Exorcist Pass, it doesn't need to be as complicated as you imagine, with spies planted and insiders working together... all of that is unnecessary. If the Demon Race wants to take over Exorcist Pass, the Demon God Emperor only needs to strike with all his might, Exorcist Pass will be wiped off the map. There's no need for such complexity, and no need for painstaking planning."

"Disruption of Destiny is certain."

"When I was three years old, I had already disrupted my Destiny. At most, it was because I disrupted my Destiny that the aura of the God of Divine Retribution's evolution was leaked, which alerted the Demon God Emperor. I personally lean towards this possibility, but since the results are not yet available, I cannot verify them with anyone, so I dare not make a definitive statement."

"I have nothing to do with the God of Divine Retribution."

"The God of Divine Retribution is a Magical Beast, but unlike other Magical Beast, the God of Divine Retribution in its complete form possesses the power to God of Destruction your world. Even in the Divine Realm, it would be a standard Second Level God. I estimate that its upper limit is comparable to a First Level God."

"The Demon God Emperor has no grudge against it."

"The reason I am so certain that the Demon God Emperor will descend upon the Exorcist Pass for the sake of the God of Divine Retribution of God of Divine Retribution is because the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars are related to the God of God of Divine Retribution Punishment. The Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars in your eyes are actually a cage created by a God King level powerhouse to imprison the God of Heavenly Punishment. However, the God of Divine Retribution later escaped, and this cage was smashed to pieces. The remaining parts, along with the God of Divine Retribution, descended to your small plane and gave birth to the Seventy-Two Demon God as a means to restrain the God of Divine Retribution."

In less than three minutes, Ye Qingcang forcefully refreshed the worldviews of Sheng Yue and San Shui. Ignoring the two dumbfounded people, he concluded. "Therefore, the Seventy-Two Demon God have no interest in slaughtering you. In their eyes, you humans are no different from chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in the countryside. The Seventy-Two Demon God ' enemy has always been the God of Divine Retribution, but even they who descended here need to eat and drink. They have always protected this world, not some kind of creature in this world... Now you should understand what I mean. That's right, I have no relation to the Demon Race, but I have a relation to Cai'er. I'm only willing to tell you this because of Cai'er. You can relax a little. If I wanted to kill you, you would be decapitated in the blink of an eye."

"Absurd... Utterly absurd..." San Shui's pupils trembled involuntarily. Even though she was Ninth Order summoner who had witnessed many grand scenes in her life, she still found it hard to accept this theory. "If what you say is true, and the Demon Race is the guardian of this world, then have the blood of my Human Race been shed for thousands of years, and our history of struggle, resistance, and perseverance been in vain?"

"I'm not denying your point." Ye Qingcang's reason for not stopping Sheng Cai'er from killing the Demon God Emperor lay in this. "Those who kill will be killed in return. Demons killed humans, so it's only right for humans to retaliate. Any attempt to prioritize the greater good at the expense of some species is just an excuse. I'm human too, and I strongly support your views. Your resistance is not wrong; it's precisely one of your few redeeming qualities... However, I'm merely stating a fact. In this world, there are many things that cannot be perfect. Imagine you meet a stranger in the desert, and a cup filled with water falls from the sky. To survive, any fight at that moment would be just. So, let's think about it from another angle: humans have eaten so many chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs—is that truly merciful to them?"

"The Demon Race..." Sheng Yue muttered to herself, her eyes vacant, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, "Do they truly regard us Human Race as chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs?"

"If you kill a dog, the dog will bite you... It's a very simple principle, unless you can't understand human language." Ye Qingcang snapped his fingers, sat in place, not flustered at all, and even had the leisure to touch Sheng Cai'er's waist. Of course, he didn't push his luck. "There is no absolute justice or correctness, nor is there absolute God of Evil or wrongness. If you don't believe what I'm saying, you can try to fight the Demon God Emperor. Then you will find that although there is only a difference of 10,000 points of Spiritual Power between 990,000 points and 1 million points of Spiritual Power Spiritual Power, that 10,000 points of Spiritual Power is the boundary between gods and humans. The real Demon God Emperor is a Third Level God walking among humans. Even if a hundred Ninth Order eighth-level superhumans joined forces, they would still be annihilated by the Demon God Emperor in one blow. There is no possibility of turning the tables. Even I am temporarily unable to match him."

Because the Demon God Emperor does not possess divinity.

The Chains of Heaven cannot weaken the Demon God Emperor.

If he were to fight the Demon God Emperor, it would be like bracing himself against a Third Level God, and one at his peak, stronger than even Di Tian.

However, if one were to wield the Asura God Sword, the outcome would be entirely different.

The divine artifact passed down from the God King.

Even if it's only one ten-thousandth of the power.

It can also easily suppress and kill Third Level God.

This is also the source of his confidence that he remains completely calm.
