Cultivators and mortals.
These were two distinct groups with clear boundaries. Cultivators possessed powers that mortals could never hope to achieve, and they were high above the masses.
In the eyes of mortals, cultivators were no different from immortals.
Naturally, cultivators would develop a sense of superiority. To most cultivators, the lives of mortals were not worth mentioning.
If it were not for the invisible constraints of karma, karma, and luck, most cultivators would not be any better off than demonic cultivators.
Just like now.
A few sage orthodoxies wanted to use this demonic onslaught to increase their prestige, gain merit, and luck. Hence, the more violent the demonic onslaught was, the more benefits they would receive after dealing with it.
As for how many people would die in the process, they did not really care. After all, it was not their doing.
Upon hearing Chu Kuangren's question, the Seventh Forefather fell silent for a while before he sighed. "Indeed, there are many cultivators like this in the sage orthodoxies."
Chu Kuangren nodded. "I understand."
…
The Mountain River City was where the Mountain River Sect used to be. After the Mountain River Sect was destroyed, the city was plunged into chaos.
It was only after a few sage orthodoxies joined forces and temporarily took over the city that the situation started to improve.
At this time, in a restaurant in the city, people were singing and dancing, and the sound of toasts and drinks could be heard.
On the contrary, outside the restaurant, there were many people who had lost their homes, clothes, and food due to the demonic onslaught.
"Come, I, Li Ren, propose a toast to all the sky-prides here. During the demonic onslaught, all of you are willing to step forward and save the people. You are truly righteous."
At the banquet, a middle-aged man in luxurious robes raised his cup and smiled. In front of him were the sky-prides from Zhiyang Valley, the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom, and the Five Ways Sect.
"You're too kind, Lee Family Head. It's our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path." Fangtian of the Five Ways Sect said righteously. Those who did not know better would think that he had killed many demonic cultivators and saved many people.
"You're right, Fangtian."
Lee Family Head smiled and nodded. He then hesitated before he said, "This demonic onslaught has been going on for seven days now. I wonder when everyone plans to take action. If this goes on, I'm afraid the Northern Lingdao State will not be able to hold on any longer."
Lee Family Head was cursing in his heart when he said that.
This group of so-called Heaven's Favorites had been in the Mountain River City for a few days, but they did not contribute much. Instead, they ate, drank, and played around.
"Let's wait for a few more days. Right now, it's not just the people of the Limitless Demon Sect who are here, there are also a large number of other demonic cultivators. But when these people are almost here, I'll capture them all in one fell swoop!"
Gu Changge drank a glass of wine and said indifferently.
"That's right. There's something fishy about the appearance of the Demonic Cultivators this time. We heard that these people are looking for the Sage Ruler Weapon of the Limitless Demonic Honorable. It won't be too late for us to act after they find it." Lin Batian said.
Over the past few days, they had found out that the Limitless Demon Venerable had not come back to life. The ones who had destroyed the Mountain River Sect were a youth who resembled the Limitless Demon Venerable and a mysterious old man.
The two of them were after the Sage Ruler Weapon that the Limitless Demon Venerable used to dominate the world. The news spread quickly among the demonic cultivators, causing all the demonic cultivators in the Azure Dragon Domain to rush to the Northern Lingdao State.
"Tsk, the Sage Ruler Weapon, the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse. The Limitless Demon Venerable was so powerful that he could defeat a sage. But after the death of the Limitless Demon Venerable, the spear's whereabouts were unknown. I can't believe it's hidden in the Northern Lingdao State." The White Lotus Bachelor's Bachelor's Bachelor's eyes were burning with excitement.
That was a Sage Ruler Weapon.
It was much more powerful than the average Sage Weapon.
A Sage Weapon was enough to make countless cultivators go crazy for it, let alone a Sage Ruler Weapon.
At the banquet, the sky-prides were talking about how powerful the Sage Ruler Weapon was, but none of them said anything about sending troops. Lee Family Head saw this and was anxious.
"Let me in!" At that moment, a young man rushed in and looked at the sky-prides at the banquet angrily.
"The Daoist of the Mountain River Sect? Oh, what's the matter? "Gu Changge glanced at him and said coldly.
The young man was the only surviving Daoist from the Mountain River Sect. He looked at the table full of delicacies and wine in front of him and said while suppressing his anger, "I'm here to ask you guys, when are you going to attack?"
"Daoist, don't worry. We'll attack when it's time."
"When it's time to attack? When most of the people in the Northern Lingdao State are dead? "The Mountain River Daoist asked.
"How dare you! Don't forget that the Northern Lingdao State was reduced to this state because of the Mountain River Sect's incompetence. We're here to help you clean up the mess, and this is how you treat us? "
A Daoist from the Sacred Lands of Serene Wisdom snorted.
The Mountain River Daoist's face turned green. "It's the Mountain River Sect's incompetence that allowed the demonic onslaught to spread. But you guys just sit back and watch the people die and the people lose their homes. You're a sage orthodoxy!"
"What a joke. We didn't care about this and let the Northern Lingdao State perish on its own. Now that we're here, not only are you not grateful, you even dare to question us here. Don't you think that's too much?"
"You're the ones who are too much! For the past few days, the Mountain River City has done its best to entertain you. The Lee family, the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the other aristocratic families have sacrificed all of their wealth to beg for your help. But what have you been doing? "
"You've received the benefits but you've done nothing? You're worse than the common peddlers in the mortal world! What demonic extermination mission? It's all a joke! "
The Mountain River Daoist gritted his teeth as he glared at the sky-prides before him. His anger was about to overflow.
"Mountain River Daoist, please understand the situation. If you provoke us, the longer we wait, the more people will die in the Northern Lingdao State. Every word you say now concerns the lives of millions of people. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Gu Changge said calmly, her eyes turning cold.
"You're threatening me!" The Mountain River Daoist's face darkened.
"So what if I am?"
At this point, the sky-prides could not be bothered to pretend to be gentlemen anymore. They looked at the Mountain River Daoist with a mocking expression.
Clap clap clap …
At that moment, a round of applause rang out.
Outside the room, a white-robed young man slowly walked in with a few people.
The sky-prides' expressions changed when they saw him. They could no longer sit still and stood up to stare at the newcomer.
"Chu Kuangren!"
"It's Chu Kuangren, he's here!"
Chu Kuangren walked into the room and glanced at the people there. He smiled and said, "You guys seem to be in a good mood. You're still having a banquet, and the food looks pretty good. It's much better than the beggars I saw when I first came in."
"They are miserable. They don't have enough to eat, and they don't even have a complete set of clothes, unlike you guys who are wearing silk and satin clothes. Tsk, this dog looks a bit like a human in these clothes."
Gu Changge and the others' expressions changed when they heard that. How could they not understand that Chu Kuangren was indirectly calling them dogs?
"Chu Kuangren, don't be too presumptuous!"
One of the sky-prides said coldly.
However, Chu Kuangren did not even spare him a glance. Instead, he slapped the air and a terrifying spiritual power landed on that sky-pride's head.
