Chapter 195 Who is nobler than whom?
This rumor plunged the entire Great Wilderness into panic, for the gods knew that the demons had been oppressed by them for thousands of years. If the demons rose up, the world would be in chaos. Surely there was no demon who didn't hate them? And those who frequented the Colosseum knew how cruel the gods were to the demons; they had witnessed it firsthand. If they were treated that way, wouldn't they retaliate after escaping?
Xi Yan asked the Five Kings and Shi Ran to send troops into the Central Plains under the pretext of capturing demon slaves. All suspicious demons were to be captured. For a while, people were in a panic. On that day, Yan Mo asked all the demons to evacuate as much as possible, but many demons were still captured, and all the shops opened by the demons were closed down.
All the demons stared angrily at the army that was capturing them. If they had not been ordered to endure, they would have risen up in resistance and killed them all!
"Take them away, take them all away, torture them and find out where they hid the demon slaves! If they don't tell me, they deserve to be beaten to death!"
Xiaoyao received the news and asked Xiangyao to rush over in the identity of Princess Xiaoliu.
Far away on the Five Gods Mountain in Haoling, Wuyou rushed into the Chaohui Palace anxiously. Before he entered, he heard her shouting in panic!
"Father, Mother, my sister is in trouble, I need to go help!"
Shaohao and Ah Heng looked at Wuyou, who was sweating and disheveled, but they did not blame him. They knew that this matter was indeed serious. If it was not handled properly, it would inevitably lead to chaos in the world.
"I already know. I will issue an edict to help Xiaoyao. You, Rushou, and Yiying will also go. In the name of protecting the two princesses, I will send 100,000 elite soldiers to the border between Haoling and the Central Plains. If the two princesses are harmed in any way, they will be killed without mercy! If Xiyan dares to make a move, I, Shaohao, am no pushover! At worst, we will fight to the death!"
"Shaohao, I want to go too. I always feel uneasy. Xiaoyao..."
Xiling Heng twisted her hands together nervously, her eyes seemed a little dazed, her heart was anxious. She didn't know where this uneasiness came from, but she always felt that it was related to Xiaoyao.
"Okay, I'll send secret guards to protect you, and you and Wuyou can go together! Don't worry too much, Xiaoyao and the others are not easy to deal with! This time, they must have deliberately let things develop, and they must have a strategy to deal with it!"
The people of Haoling were not affected much, because Haoling was a country of etiquette. Before Shaohao and Xiaoyao, under the governance of Princess Xiaoliu and the widespread education, the human race and the gods did not have much hostility towards the demon race. They upheld the concept of equality for all, and the demons of Haoling lived well with them.
"King Hao Ling has issued an order! Hao Ling Nation welcomes all law-abiding demons to reside in Hao Ling Nation! They will enjoy the same treatment as humans and gods! As long as they work hard and don't hurt others, as long as they register their identities, they can be temporarily helped to settle down, or they can join the army and receive the same treatment!"
When this news came out, everyone was shocked! This Hao Ling King openly supported the demon clan. Wasn't he afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?
"What are you afraid of? Monsters are just like that, with one head, two hands, and two feet! Only those with a guilty conscience are afraid of monsters. Also, you people from Xiyan, Central Plains, have always been cruel to the monsters. You're afraid of retaliation, so you're anxious! We, Haoling, have been inseparable from monsters for hundreds of years! Who says monsters are necessarily cruel and tyrannical? I think the truly cruel ones are the Lirong clan and the Tushan clan! And Xiyan..."
"Hush, you don't want to live anymore? We all understand the truth. Isn't it that we are unsure about the demon slaves? Who knows if they will kill us too?"
"Did you see them do it? Did you see them kill anyone? Honestly, how much help did that wolf brother next door give you in your daily life? Can't you tell if someone is good or bad?"
Many people fell silent upon hearing this. It was undeniable that they had seen many demons living around them in their daily lives, but none of them had actively caused riots. They were all friendly, helpful, and had good tempers.
At this time, the role of the charity hall was clearly demonstrated. They had lived together with humans, gods and monsters since childhood, and accepted the idea of equality for all. When many people slandered the monster clan, more people stood up to defend the monster clan, because many monster clans were their friends, their husbands, their wives and children.
Xiaoyao and Xiaoliu were stopped by Xuanxuan on their way to rescue the demon tribe.
"What are you doing here again!"
Xiao Yao was really annoyed with Xuan. He'd been hiding for a while, or hesitant to speak at the door of Yan Mo's mansion, neither wanting to go in nor going in. He didn't go looking for Tu Shanjing or Feng Long, and Feng Long, that idiot, was foolishly trying to comfort Tu Shanjing. Now, whoever got close to Tu Shanjing was in trouble! Anyway, Feng Long was grabbed by the back of his collar by his father and taken back to solitary confinement!
"Xiaoyao, don't worry about the demon clan's affairs. You can save one, but can you save them all? Besides, they are..."
Xiaoyao laughed when she heard that and said coldly, "Xuanxuan, are you trying to say that they are a lowly demon race? You think Xiangliu is lowly, and the righteous army is lowly, right?"
Xuan remained silent. In his heart, he really looked down on them. He could regard the people of the Central Plains as his own people, but he never looked down on the demon race. He tolerated Xiangliu because he let him go because he was still useful to him. What qualifications did he have to get Xiaoyao? He was not worthy of Xiaoyao at all. He was just a nine-headed snake demon who hid his head and showed his tail and could not see the light of day!
"Not speaking? That means you're not denying it. I'm so disappointed in you! Why are you running out here instead of staying at the Purple Gold Summit to build your Daming Palace? Do you think you can stop me? Who do you think is the most noble? The arrogant gods who cloak themselves in kindness but do all sorts of evil? Is Tushan Jing noble? Or is your highness the prince? Or is King Xiyan, who spreads rumors and maliciously slanders the demon race, nobler?"
"Xiaoyao! You..."
"Xuan! Shut up! Either shut up and stop talking, or get out of here. I don't need your help! And don't stop me from doing anything! They are all children from the charity school. I watched them grow up. I can't just abandon them!"
Before Xuanxuan could react to what Xiaoyao meant by watching them grow up, Xiaoyao had already walked around him!
King Xi Yan deliberately let Shi Ran do this in Chenyi City in order to force the demon slaves to riot, the more chaotic the better, to force Yan Mo and Xiang Liu to come out.
Meanwhile, Shi Ran had already captured over a hundred demons. They were all low-level demons with weak combat capabilities, and usually served as shop assistants!
Hundreds of demons were chained hand and foot! They were strung together in rows and pushed towards the town's central square!
"Listen up, demon slaves in the dark. I know you're hiding. I'll give you one incense stick of time. If you don't come out, I'll kill one demon for every stick of incense! You can continue to hide if you don't believe me, but you're brutal by nature. You won't care how many of your own kind die!"
Shi Ran wielded a long whip covered with barbs, hitting the demons from time to time. I thought I would hear screams, but I only heard a muffled groan, and no other sound.
"Oh, you're quite stubborn! Let's see how stubborn you can be! Beat me!"
