Instead of relying on some Heavenly Dao Oath to forcefully order some Immortal cultivators.
…
On the other side.
An owl demonic beast stood on the top of a giant tree that was dozens of meters tall, yawning sleepily.
A pair of large round eyes stared in one direction.
The bird’s beak opened and closed, and it actually spoke in human language. It muttered to itself, “One, two… Ten, eleven… one hundred and twenty-five…”
As it counted, even it was confused, because it could only count to within 200.
It muttered in surprise, “So many humans!”
It was not that it had never seen humans before. It had seen many human Immortal cultivators, and it had even communicated with them.
However, it had lived for dozens of years, and this was the first time it had seen so many humans.
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with people!
There were a few hundred of them. It could not count them all, but it knew that there were a lot of them.
With so many people, if they were made into food… It would be enough for the organization to eat for a month, right?
“Unfortunately, the Boss’s Boss’s Boss said that we can’t eat humans. We haven’t eaten humans in our entire lives…”
Just as it was muttering to itself…
An aura was caught by its keen senses. It quickly turned around and said respectfully, “Guardian!”
The newcomer was a Crane Demon.
Compared to the silly and cute owl, this crane demon looked very elegant. It was one of the demonic beasts with very good looks.
It opened its beak and said in a female voice, “The Lord has ordered us not to touch these people. Don’t even think about eating them. You and I will go over and talk to their leader.”
As soon as it finished speaking, it spread its wings and flew away.
The Crane Demon and the Owl Demon spread their wings and flew in the air, looking down at the shocking number of refugees below.
They saw a vast expanse of people directly below them. All of them were human heads!
There were men and women among them.
There were old and young.
There was a similarity between these people. Each of their faces looked pale. They were weak and lacked energy. When they walked, they did not have any spirit. They looked like they were already skin and bones from hunger.
If they met a passing insect on the road, they might grab it and stuff it into their mouths to satisfy their hunger.
Some people could not walk halfway and fell to the ground.
The people next to them did not have the strength to support them.
To put it cruelly, at this time, they did not share the food with the people who fell. This group of refugees was already able to maintain a little bit of rationality.
It was also possible that there was an Immortal cultivator among them who was acting as the leader to maintain order.
This was to prevent these people from eating people.
“Sir… sir cultivator, there are… there are two strange birds up there!” In the crowd of refugees, a refugee looked at a middle-aged man next to him in fear, he shouted, “Sir cultivator, we… we didn’t encounter a demonic beast, did we?!”
The Immortal cultivator among the refugees was the only one who looked very energetic.
He looked at the sky with a solemn expression, trying his best to keep calm.
“It doesn’t matter! They… most likely just happened to pass by this place. They won’t attack us,” the Immortal cultivator said with a stiff tone.
He knew that it was very dangerous to bring a group of ordinary people into the desolate mountain.
He also knew that if they encountered powerful demonic beasts, this group of people might become food for the demonic beasts.
The problem was…
If he did not do this, this group of people would still starve to death!
He might as well take a gamble!
Take a chance to survive!
To do this for a group of ordinary people, even putting himself in danger, he could be considered a weirdo among Immortal cultivators.
Of course, in the eyes of these refugees, this Immortal cultivator was a great benefactor!
A great benefactor!
However, the great benefactor in the hearts of the refugees was only calm on the surface.
In fact, he was more nervous than anyone else.
He was an Immortal cultivator, so he knew how terrifying the two demonic beasts above him were.
One was at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage!
The other could not be detected!
Oh my God!
He was only at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage, how could he encounter two such ferocious demonic beasts?
He could only hope that these two demonic beasts were really passing by.
However, at this moment, he watched helplessly as the two bird-type demonic beasts hovering above him swooped down towards the crowd, and they were charging straight at him.
Hiss!
He instantly felt as if he was facing a great enemy, and the alarm bells in his heart rang wildly!
His heart quickly sank to the bottom of the valley.
It was over.
With his own strength, dealing with that relatively weaker owl-type demonic beast was already extremely difficult.
As for the other crane-type demonic beast whose cultivation could not be seen, he might not even be a match for it.
If he, an Immortal cultivator, died, what would the ordinary people do?
Would they become food for the demonic beasts?
Just as this thought flashed through their minds, the two demonic beasts, amidst the terrified screams of the crowd, landed on the ground and stood steadily.
Their enormous size was in stark contrast to this group of thin and weak refugees.
The innate aura of the demonic beasts made the refugees even more terrified.
“Are you their leader?” Before the Immortal cultivator could do anything, the Crane Demon said in a cold voice, “You have already barged into the territory of our branch organization. As an Immortal cultivator, do you know the price you will have to pay for barging into the territory of a demonic beast?”
The Immortal cultivator was stupefied. He had thought that what he was about to receive would be an attack that he could not handle.
In the end, he did not expect that the demonic beast in front of him would actually use a fluent language to speak to him.
A demonic beast that could…
Speak?!
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly. The immense pressure made him answer instinctively, “I… I know.”
The Crane Demon calmly continued, “According to common sense, you have become food.”
“But…” Its tone changed, “Our Lord has shown great mercy and allowed you to enter our territory, but you must listen to our orders. If you are willing, you can build a home here. If you are not willing, I can not guarantee what will happen to you in this place.”
This… This demonic beast was telling itself that the demonic beast could take in these people?
This, this, this…
The Immortal cultivator’s brain almost could not function. What was happening in front of his eyes had clearly exceeded the load on his brain.
It had touched his blind spot of knowledge.
In a daze, he nodded blankly.
[A large number of homeless refugees have entered your territory. You have instructed your demonic beasts to assist them in rebuilding their homes. At the same time, you also know the number of these refugees — 16,218! Facing the demonic beasts in their territory, the refugees were at a loss.]
[Until you arranged for a few people to appear and explain to them for half a day, only then did these refugees accept this fact. After knowing that their benefactor wasn’t a high official of the dynasty or an elder of a sect, but… a powerful demonic beast.]
[Age 32, after two years of construction, the tens of thousands of refugees finally settled down. They actively cultivated farmland, drank water, and irrigated… They even built a temple.]
[To your surprise, what the ancestral temple worships is not some Immortal god, but you!]
[They respectfully address you as Great Immortal Moon Crow.]
[Age 33, you ordered demonic beasts to test the Immortal cultivation roots of some human children. To your surprise, you discovered that there were actually more than ten children who had the talent to cultivate Immortality.]
[You personally taught them how to cultivate Immortality!]
