Yun Yang asked, "Don't you have any guesses?"
"How can there be no guesses? There's no need to guess at all. The Demon Race has set up such a grand scene, expending so much demonic energy and material resources, as well as so much time. They must be planning something big. It's most likely related to the Demon Race's invasion of the Bound of Universe. Everyone has guessed this since a long time ago. "
One of the middle-aged men said, "However, after so many years, everyone's situation has remained the same.
Perhaps this is an indirect proof that the Demon Race's original intention has not succeeded! "
The others were smiling as well, their smiles filled with relief and joy.
Yun Yang, on the other hand, sighed softly.
Did not succeed? How do you all know that the Demon Race did not succeed?
Just like what the people before him had said, the Demon Race had already expended a great deal of resources to maintain the living conditions of these imprisoned people. If they did not reap a considerable amount of benefits, they would have long ended this inexplicable plan!
"Then are you all really going to live peacefully here and enjoy the rest of your lives?" Yun Yang asked coldly.
Everyone was instantly speechless when they heard this, and many of them revealed embarrassed expressions.
"Why do you have so many questions?"
The muscular middle-aged man spoke after a while, "We don't want to stay in this foreign land for long, but what can we do if we don't live here? We're just fish on the chopping block now, we can't go anywhere else even if we want to!"
"It's inevitable that everyone wants to escape when they first come in. We all have the same thought."
The elder was rather open-minded. "Young man, there will be a time when your bellyful of questions will be answered. However, stay here first. There'll be plenty of time for you to understand the matters of this land in the future. "
Under these people's arrangements, Yun Yang was successfully allocated a small wooden house.
Although there were only two rooms, one for sleeping and the other for entertaining guests, it was more than enough.
Yun Yang had already investigated that the highest cultivation base among the humans here was only at the pinnacle of the Saint King level. Naturally, no one had noticed Yun Yang's actual strength and did not pay much attention to his arrival.
Similarly, Yun Yang did not care about their attitudes.
After sitting quietly in the room for a while, Yun Yang could not help feeling a little exasperated.
The two rooms were great – one was a more private bedroom and the other was a living room … but how could he have any guests in this land?
However, after a day and a half, Yun Yang began to treat them again.
Yun Yang quickly gained a general understanding of the people in the area and made a list of the ten people with the highest cultivation base, ten people with the best popularity, and a few people with the highest prestige.
Then, he began to treat them to a meal with a clear goal in mind.
Yun Yang's interspatial zone had never been lacking in heaven and earth treasures, especially after the incident in Tian Fa Holy Land and during his time in the Demonic Realm. He had also plundered some resources, so it was not difficult for him to treat them now.
When it came to treating, basically all the people on the list came. Not only did they come themselves, but they also brought their families. Those with families brought their wives and children.
Yun Yang was not offended at all. He readily prepared some children's toys and good food and went on a long walk.
Obviously, Yun Yang's treat this time was to be perfect, so that it would be easier for him to carry out his next move when everyone was in a mess.
Yun Yang was rather surprised by the situation inside. At the very least, it was completely different from the prison situation that he had imagined it to be.
Everything that he saw was like the Demon Race had specially built a paradise and brought these humans here to settle down and take care of them for the rest of their lives …
Would the Demon Race be so kind?
Or perhaps … what goal did they want to achieve by doing this?
…
On the same night.
The area in front of Yun Yang's small house was bustling with activity.
Countless children were running around with the candies that Yun Yang had given out; there were also women who were picking out accessories or dresses that they could wear …
From Yun Yang's point of view, it was like going to a market.
What was more, Yun Yang could not see much sorrow in the men, women, old, and young. Basically, everyone looked calm and peaceful.
It was as if they had been living here for a long time and had accepted their fate.
Even if they did not accept their fate, it would only be more painful. There was no other way!
…
After a night of chatting, Yun Yang finally understood a lot of things.
The Demon Race had abducted many young human disciples here. Other than the requirement of quantity, there was also a further requirement – there had to be a balance of men and women; the ratio could not be out of balance. Other than the discomfort of the bumpy road, those who were abducted were completely free once they arrived here!
They could continue their cultivation journey here, although the effect was not great. They could also find a woman they liked here, build a family, raise children, and live a peaceful life …
Food and necessities were all available, even more complete than what Yun Yang had brought. There was a separate spot on the north side of the residential area that only the Demon Race was allowed to enter. Every once in a while, the Demon Race would come in and collect all the trash that the humans had abandoned there. At the same time, they would bring in a massive amount of resources to supply the humans' daily needs.
Even when they met the humans occasionally, they did not offend each other, staying out of each other's way and minding their own business.
This treatment … at least in Yun Yang's opinion, was incredible! It was simply incredible!
He did not have to do anything and no one cared if he created trash as he pleased. There were demons to clean it up and there was an almost continuous supply of new resources. What kind of treatment was this?
The living environment was clean and tidy almost all the time. Other than the slightly smaller space where one could move around and could not roam freely like in the Bound of Universe, it was a peaceful nest in every other aspect!
There was no need to worry about getting rich, supporting a wife and children, or having no friends …
There was no need to worry about anything!
If one wanted to play chess, one could always find a chess partner who could be considered a match among tens of thousands of people. If one wanted to drink, one could go up and shout and many would answer. Even if one got drunk and started a fight on the street, no one would actually die from it.
After so many years of imprisonment, there were less than ten cases of accidental deaths, and they were all caused by affairs such as adultery …
As for the Demon Race's mystical beasts, they had never appeared here!
"All of you should know that the Demon Race's resources are scarce. Countless of their people are still living on the edge of life and death. How can they provide you with living conditions and quality of life so limitlessly and unconditionally? There must be something fishy here!" Yun Yang looked at these people with a frown. "Haven't any of you investigated?"
"Of course I have. Basically every newcomer has spent a lot of time and effort to investigate those who have not given up on leaving this realm. Unfortunately, no one has been able to find any useful information. In the end, they could only leave it be."
An elder who sat at the guest seat said seriously, "Besides, this old man can also guarantee one thing. Although we've been imprisoned here for so many years, we've never done anything that's unworthy of our human mentality! We haven't even imparted our cultivation methods. The Demon Race is our nemesis. Before this righteousness, we can always be sure! "
"The first thing we teach every child when they are born is that they are a human! Not a demon! One day, they will return to the human world and breathe in the spiritual atmosphere that belongs to the human race! "
"Return! From the beginning to the end, it has always been our life goal, and it will never change! "
"In fact, we've always been waiting, waiting for the human masters to rescue us, or waiting for the day the Demon Race is annihilated by the human race, or the day we can break out of this place. As long as we can escape, even if we have to perish together with the Demon Race, our lives will not be in vain! "
"Therefore, although the people here know that it's hard to improve in cultivation, they still cultivate diligently after considering the possibility of their realm slipping. Of course, there are some who have no future and come here to eat and wait for death, but it's only a small portion of them."
The others echoed in agreement, drinking and reminiscing about the times they had spent outside. Not long after, tears streamed down their cheeks.
"There really aren't any signs?"
Yun Yang was extremely puzzled. "Then why does the Demon Race keep so many people?"
"When this old man first came, I've thought that if the Demon Race uses my life to harm the Bound of Universe, then I'll commit suicide immediately to avoid a lifetime of regret …"
The elder chuckled bitterly. "But … from the beginning to the end, there's not even a scene of me being forced …"
"Me too …"
…
Similar voices came one after another, one after another.
Yun Yang could not help feeling a headache coming on.
"Can I take a look at your bodies? Or the state of your cultivation base? Or even your meridians? "
The elder looked at him quietly and said, "Go ahead if you want to. We've checked each other more than a thousand times over the years … Sigh. Young man, how old are you this year? Don't you have a wife outside? "
Another person said, "Even if you have a wife, it's useless now … Look at how handsome this young man is. Let's discuss and see if there's a suitable girl who hasn't married yet in any family."
"There are quite a lot of them, but with his looks, he'll be snatched away like crazy …"
Everyone began to ponder about this matter.
Yun Yang did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he did not slack off. He began to check everyone's bodies, divine senses, and divine souls. However, after a long time, he found nothing. Everything was normal.
"You should all be the best of the best. Many of you are from sects with Celestial Luck Banners, right? Can you force each of your Celestial Luck Banners out for me to see? "
Yun Yang asked.
Everyone was indifferent to this. They had nothing to do anyway, so they might as well play with this kid. What if he really found out something was amiss?
Many of them began to cultivate, and the shadows of the Celestial Luck Banners appeared one after another, each with their own Qi!
