Tang Thirty-Six looked into Chen Changsheng's eyes and asked with great solemnity, ”You trust your teacher?”

Chen Changsheng replied, ”Master's intelligence is unparalleled and his insight sharp. Not even Black Robe can conceal everything in the heavens. I trust that Master's judgment is correct.”

Tang Thirty-Six said, ”You know that's not what I mean.”

Chen Changsheng silently thought, then said, ”To Master, killing me and subduing the Orthodoxy is the most important matter, but exterminating the Demon race and uniting the continent under the Human race is his lifelong desire, the ideal that he will pursue until the end of his days. I have absolute confidence in this.”

In the history of the continent, the most momentous change was the alliance between the humans and demi-humans.

It was on this foundation that Emperor Taizong was able to successfully lead the allied armies north and force the demons back to the blizzard-ridden wastes.

In the ensuing several hundred years, the Human race gained enough time to recover and grew stronger and stronger, until eventually, the Demon race found it far more difficult to sweep into the south once more.

If the demi-humans suddenly broke their pact with the humans and changed sides, what would happen?

Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng did not have a conflict of ideals, but a conflict of Daos.

Chen Changsheng was the only flaw in Shang Xingzhou's Dao, so Shang Xingzhou had to think of a way to wipe out his existence.

But this was nothing compared to this matter.

It was just like Shang Xingzhou said in his letter.

White Emperor City could not be lost.

Tang Thirty-Six revealed an extremely rare earnestness as he said, ”Then we must stop this from happening.”

Fortunately, this was only speculation and had not yet come true.

The humans still had time to react.

If not for Shang Xingzhou and his extremely sharp senses perceiving these problems and making this bold and forceful conclusion, the result would have been disastrous.

When he thought of this, Tang Thirty-Six felt an irrepressible respect towards the venerable Daoist, even though they were on different sides.

Chen Changsheng walked to the window and raised the Stainless Sword. Though he used the Intellectual Sword to silently calculate for quite some time, he still failed to obtain an unambiguous answer.

”The demi-humans… will they really ally with the demons?”

In the history books, the relationship between the demi-humans and demons was full of bloodstains and the tragic circumstances of the demi-humans.

There was no logical reason for the demi-humans to forget these grudges, much less ally with the demons.

Hu Thirty-Two said, ”In truth, it's not completely impossible. Don't forget, a thousand years ago, the relationship between the humans and demi-humans was also terrible. If the demons are willing to pay the appropriate price to pacify the hatred of the demi-humans, the demi-humans really might defect to their side.”

Tang Thirty-Six noted, ”It's a question of motive. If Madam Mu is taking these risks for the Great Western Continent, how can the ministers and generals of the Demi-human race just agree?”

Hu Thirty-Two's gaze fell on the letter in Chen Changsheng's hand, and he said, ”Perhaps it's precisely for this reason.”

Tang Thirty-Six followed his gaze but still didn't understand.

”The demons have been in decline for one thousand years. Even with the accession of a new Demon Lord, it will be impossible for them to recover their terrifying strength in a short time. On the other hand, our Human race has been getting stronger and stronger in the last one thousand years. It's just as the blue-clothed visitor on the summit ruefully sighed about: our side has far too many genius experts.”

Hu Thirty-Two looked at Chen Changsheng and seriously said, ”Your Holiness said before that the esteemed Daoist has always wanted to inherit Emperor Taizong's dying wish, exterminating the demons and uniting the world. When the time comes, where will the demi-humans go? Will they become subjects and offer tribute, or will it be like it was in ancient times, where they were slaves to the demons?”

Tang Thirty-Six said, ”The current White Emperor is an overlord. Does he not even have a little confidence?”

Hu Thirty-Two fell quiet, then said, ”In the last few years, a phrase has been going around the continent.”

Startled, Chen Changsheng asked, ”What phrase?”

Hu Thirty-Two said, ”A temple of Xining rules the world.”

Both Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six fell silent.
