Chapter 855: Chapter 510: Tai Ching and Ping Xin Visit the Western Realm
"The Demon Emperor’s decree?"
Cang Jie repeated softly.
As for the Human Clan Tribe following the Demon Emperor’s decree, Cang Jie didn’t find it problematic.
Not to mention that this Human Clan Tribe is currently supported by the Heavenly Court, even if it were the Human Clan Ancestral Land, once the Demon Emperor issues a decree, they would comply.
The mark left by the Demon Emperor among the Human Clan, or rather the favors bestowed upon them, are simply too significant.
The leader opposite looked at Cang Jie’s surprised expression, feeling no surprise in his heart.
In truth, when he initially learned that he could compete for the Human Race’s Heavenly Destiny, with the chance to become the Human Race’s Lord, he was extremely excited.
After all, the Human Clan Tribe he led was supported by the Heavenly Court, backed by the greatest race in the Primordial, with four Saints stationed, numerous Quasi-Saints, and many Daluo Golden Immortals.
Throughout the forces in the Primordial, who could be a match for the Demon Clan of the Heavenly Court?
But his joy did not last long before he suffered a fatal blow.
The Demon Emperor’s decree: Any Human Clan Tribe supported by the Demon Clan shall not participate in the contest for the Human Race’s Heavenly Destiny.
Any Human Clan Tribe vying for the Human Race’s Heavenly Destiny will sever ties with the Demon Clan and be left to their own devices.
When he received this news, his heart was naturally filled with anger and resentment; such an opportunity was to be missed just like that?
Back then, he had an impulse to lead his Human Clan Tribe into the contest for the Human Race’s Heavenly Destiny.
But that was just a fleeting impulse in his heart, not an action.
The Human Clan Tribe he was in was supported by the Heavenly Court, so he understood even more the immense power of the Demon Clan and the influence they wielded within the tribe.
If he expressed his desire to defy the Demon Emperor’s decree, he feared he himself would fall into crisis.
In such a situation, he could only accept the Demon Emperor’s decree, unless he wanted this Human Clan Tribe to split, or even offend the Demon Clan.
Actually, when the union of the Human Clan Tribes appeared, he was similarly moved.
Unfortunately, without the support of the Demon Clan, he feared he could not compete with the Witchman Clan, so he had to hide his thoughts.
He realized he might truly have no chance.
In a time of great struggle, having ambition is normal, and wanting to become the Human Race’s Lord is even more normal.
It is commendable not to be blinded by one’s ambition and still be able to judge the current situation and restrain one’s ambition.
However, being a Human Clan Tribe supported by the Demon Clan is not the only path.
He could also learn from the Human Clan sages and pass the Demon Clan’s Spiritual Illusion Realm test to become a true Demon Clan member and enter the Heavenly People Tribe.
Among the Human Clan Tribes led by the Demon Clan, all practice the Dharma Manifestation Skill, and once the dharma form is displayed, they bear a striking resemblance to the Demon Clan beings.
The leader’s mind quickly reviewed the past, then looked at the creature before him who created the legacy of Human Clan civilization and relayed the Demon Emperor’s decree.
Cang Jie now understood why there was no response from the Human Clan Tribes supported by the Demon Clan in the contest for the Human Race’s Heavenly Destiny; it was because of the Demon Emperor’s decree.
But why did the Demon Emperor do this?
Cang Jie couldn’t figure it out.
But he didn’t dwell on the matter; after all, he was just a Daluo Golden Immortal creature and couldn’t have the foresight of Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan.
Besides, Cang Jie had another very important question. He looked at the Human Clan Tribe leader and asked again.
"If that’s the case, does it mean you can only be annexed?"
The leader shook his head lightly and said, "Not at all, what we need to do is wait patiently for the right moment."
"When the different Human Clan Tribes decide the outcome, our tribe is willing to integrate into them, but we must maintain the Demon Clan’s fate and merit within the Human Clan."
"This is somewhat similar to what Xuanyuan from the Human Clan Ancestral Land is doing now."
Cang Jie, hearing this, pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, thank you for clarifying."
"It was a small effort, don’t mention it," the leader said.
Soon after, Cang Jie left this Human Clan Tribe and returned to the Human Clan Ancestral Land to inform Xuanyuan of the matter.
The existence of the Demon Emperor’s decree was a good thing for the Human Clan Ancestral Land, as it meant that even if the Human Clan Ancestral Land and that tribe united in war, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Human Clan Tribes supported by the Demon Clan reaping the benefits without effort.
...
While Cang Jie entered the Human Clan Tribe supported by the Heavenly Court, Zhenyuanzi alone arrived at the Witchman Clan’s tribe.
He stood near the Witchman Clan’s tribe, looking at the overwhelming Evil Qi, as if seeing the scene of the Witch Clan’s dominance in the Primordial in the past.
Xuanyuan wanting to defeat the Witchman Clan was probably not an easy task.
Zhenyuanzi, as a Quasi-Saint, although he came from the Human Clan Ancestral Land, met with the Witchman Clan’s leader, Chi You, quite effortlessly.
And with Chi You came another being, a creature from the Witch Clan, Wu Xian.
Zhenyuanzi was not unfamiliar with Wu Xian, a prominent figure during the time the Witch Clan contended with the Immortal Court.
When the Twelve Ancestor Witches were not present, almost all Witch Clan creatures had to obey Wu Xian’s command at that time.
Zhenyuanzi’s gaze swept over Wu Xian, then settled on the Witchman Clan’s leader, Chi You.
He felt the aura emanating from Chi You and was deeply astonished.
Because the aura revealed by the Chi You before his eyes was actually that of a Great Witch.
