Wang Ping nodded, asking a question that held deep implications.
Upon hearing Wang Pings question right off the bat, everyone present was taken aback.
Chen Yao, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Hu all wore thoughtful expressions.
Surprisingly, even the headmaster looked shocked, unsure of why Wang Ping was asking this.
“Based on the information we currently have, the number of Demon Kings that have emerged on the Demons’ side is twenty. Whereas on our human side, we have only twelve Great Tao masters, which is significantly less than the Demons.’
The headmaster sighed deeply.
“Then, do any of the Great Tao masters on the human side possess a power that significantly surpasses the other Demon Kings?”
Wang Ping pursued the question.
The headmaster frowned, uncertain of Wang Pings true intent in asking these questions.
For a moment, he pondered whether or not to answer.
After all, this was highly classified information.
The present individuals, although brought here by Chen Yao, were still a question mark in terms of trustworthiness.
Their previous dialogue, which alluded to an air of trust, was merely lip service.
“There’s no harm. Go on, tell him.”
At this moment, an elderly man who had remained silent until now spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the headmaster instantly relaxed and said bitterly, “Among our Great Tao masters, there are none that possess power far surpassing the other Demon Kings.”
“l see.” Wang Ping squinted, saying in a meaningful tone, “Although we have fewer strong individuals than the Demon Kings and none that surpass the rest of the Demon Kings in power, why has mankind not been annihilated? On a normal precedent, humans would have been wiped out a long time ago.” With his words, silence filled the room.
Chen Yao, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Hu were all shocked, unprepared for Wang Ping to utter such an aggravating statement.
“What do you mean by that, fellow Taoist? Mankind has been fighting tooth and nail to survive. Why would you wish for our demise?”
The headmaster questioned with discontent.
“No other intentions, merely a rational discussion.”
Wang Ping responded calmly and slowly.
“Based on the tropes of the novels I’ve read in the past, under normal circumstances, humans should be the weaker force, but there is always some power or trump card that balances out the stronger threat. However, our situation is peculiar. The number of top humans master is almost half as many as the number of Demon Kings, yet they maintain a balance. It’s strange. ”
The faces of Chen Yao, Zhang Hu, Zhang Jun, and Cai Yonglong all shifted imperceptibly upon hearing Wang Pings words.
Being familiar with numerous online novels, they all found Wang Pings observations a little unusual.
Moreover, knowing that there were internal issues within humanity made matters even more peculiar.
In such circumstances, the survival of mankind was indeed nothing short of miraculous.
“That’s because the Demons also fear what else we might have up our sleeve, and they worry about mutual destruction with the Great Tao masters. After all, who would willingly risk their life at the Demon King level?”
The headmaster replied solemnly.
“Then let me ask another question; Are your Great Tao masters stationed together or dispersed across key locations? Additionally, are you able to monitor the movements of all Demon Kings?”
Wang Ping gazed intently at the headmaster and slowly asked.
“Why are you asking this?” The headmaster’s complexion fluctuated.
“Just a simple query. Headmaster, you can choose to answer or not.” Wang Ping responded calmly.
“Naturally, they are dispersed. As for monitoring the Demon Kings, we can only track a subset of them.”
The headmaster let out a deep breath and gave his answer.
“l see.” Wang Ping lamented. “Thank you, Headmaster, for the information.
That concludes my questions.”
“Now that you’re done with your questions, would you be able to answer some of mine?”
The headmaster stared at Wang Ping, speaking in a deep voice.
“What was the purpose of your earlier questions, and how can we break through our current predicament? Moreover, what level are your powers at?” “The intent behind my questions, you should be able to guess. Therefore, I
don’t need to answer that.”
Wang Ping shook his head and spoke calmly.
“l have no idea.” The headmaster shook his head.
“If you don’t know, then I see no reason to answer. Your questions are really something.”
Wang Ping calmly sipped his tea.
“As for how to help the humans in your world to break free from their current dilemma, I haven’t figured that out yet. Once I do, I’ll let you know. But generally speaking, it has something to do with defeating the Demons.”
After a moment’s pause, Wang Ping spoke again, “As for our powers, theyre equivalent to the Taoist priests in your world. As for me, killing your world’s
Demon Kings is not an issue.”
As he finished speaking, Wang Ping deliberately revealed some of his aura.
In an instant, a heavy atmosphere filled the room.
Even the headmaster, whose level of cultivation was not far from a Great Tao master, had his pupils instantly constricting, revealing a look of astonishment.
The elderly man, who had been very quiet all this while, also had his pupils contract, as he intently stared at Wang Ping.
However, the overwhelming aura that had filled the room earlier quickly disappeared, as if nothing had occurred.
Even though the aura had dissipated, the people present were far from calm.
“That aura was indeed powerful. But most likely it’s the result of hiding their true power. Otherwise, the Spiritual Sea Mirror wouldn’t have shown only this level. t
Cai Yonglong exclaimed internally.
Chen Yao and the others shared the same thought.
Their sense of security grew stronger after hearing this.
With such a strong teammate like Wang Ping, their sense of security was off the charts.
The headmaster was visibly shocked, his gaze fixed on Wang Ping, his astonishment knowing no bounds.
“High-Tier Demon King…No – it even appears to be stronger..”
