Chapter 245 - 245 The Humiliation of the Human Race

245 The Humiliation of the Human Race

They had been delayed by the demonic beasts’ attack on their way to Changping. However, everything had been resolved when they returned to Jingdu. So they arrived in a few days without any obstructions.

“Sword Sect received the news immediately. They rushed over to welcome Ye Xuan and Shen Changling. “We have heard about what happened in Changping. You must be tired from the journey. It’s been hard for you.”

Shen Changling noticed that neither Mo Jianming nor He Jiantian looked relaxed. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did something happen in the sect? Why is everyone looking like this?”

“Nothing happened to the sect, but you guys…” He Jiantian wanted to say something but stopped. He glanced at Ye Xuan subconsciously.

Very quickly, he understood the underlying meaning.”Is it about the contract between Changping and the demonic beasts?”

He Jiantian nodded and said, “You should be prepared. Some sects in Jingdu are not satisfied with the loss of the mine. The mining of the spirit mine has become less and this involves their own interests. In addition, some people are making things difficult. Their words are very unpleasant.”

“But don’t take it to heart. This time, it’s all thanks to you to settle the matter of Changping so that they could avoid the crisis of annihilation. Those people are too greedy.”

Without waiting for Ye Xuan to react, Shen Changling was the first to act up.

“What? How dare they say this! If it wasn’t for their orders, the people under them wouldn’t have been overmined and caused the crisis in Changping. It’s all because of their greed!”

Shen Changling told He Jiantian and Mo Jianming everything that happened in Changping in detail, but he hid the matters of the bone dragon and Ye Xuan helped Qian Yuan to transform into a dragon.

This was also a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Ye Xuan even had dragon blood and helped Qian Yuan successfully transform into a dragon. Now, Qian Yuan was the last dragon in the world. Any of the matter was enough to shock the world. Thus, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

He even hid the matters from his most trusted sect and his master. After all, there were too many implications. Even if Mo Jianming found out the truth later, he wouldn’t blame him.

When the Sword Sect people heard about their journey, they were full of ups and downs. “I didn’t expect you to have such a twisted and bizarre experience.”

When the other disciples of the sect heard this, they revealed an expression of yearning.

“Senior Chen’s trip this time was worth it. You even saw a flood dragon. If I had known earlier, I would have followed you. I still haven’t seen what that flood dragon looks like.”

“Isn’t that so? I should have followed them to Changping to gain some experience.”

The companion couldn’t help but tease him, “Forget it. With your small body, you’re not even enough to fill the gaps between the dragon’s teeth. It was only because Senior Shen and Elder Ye Xuan were powerful that they escaped from the dragon’s mouth. If it were you, I’m afraid you’d have died long ago.”

Although everyone was joking, they knew that it was not easy for Ye Xuan and Shen Changling to stand here safe and sound. The process must be extremely dangerous. One mistake could cost them their lives.

He Jiantian was a little scared after hearing this. “You guys are too rash. You should be careful.”

Feeling everyone’s concern, Ye Xuan thanked them one by one. “By the way, I wonder how the people in my sect are doing.”

“Don’t worry. We’ve taken care of them. Most of them have safely returned to the Tai Qing Sect, while a few who were worried about your safety have remained in Jingdu.”

Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, a few disciples from the Dao Seeking Sect and Misty Illusory Manor walked over. They said very politely, “Our sect masters have invited Elder Ye Xuan. May we have Sect Master He join us as well?”

He Jiantian’s expression changed slightly. He smiled sarcastically. “They’ve just arrived in Jingdu, but those people can’t hold it in anymore.”

“It must have been because of Changping. What was meant to come would come.” There was no panic or fear on Ye Xuan’s face. Instead, he was extremely calm.

“There’s no harm in making a trip. If they let us off so easily, I’ll suspect that there’s a conspiracy.”

He Jiantian agreed with him. “You’re right. Do you have any ideas?”

“I have a clear conscience, so I’m naturally fearless. I’ll deal with whatever comes my way.”

He Jiantian and Mo Jianming were full of admiration for this. “Don’t worry. The Sword Sect will support you.”

By the time they arrived at the meeting hall, the others were already there. The Dao Seeking Sect, the Misty Illusory Manor, the Infinity Sect, the Yaochi Holy Land, and so on. Those who didn’t know would think that it was a joint hearing.

Ye Xuan stood in the middle and received everyone’s gaze. “What’s the matter?”

The people from the Misty Illusory Manor were the first to launch an attack. “Ye Xuan, you still dare to ask! You’re about to become a disgrace to the human cultivators! You’ve become the shame of the human race!”

It was no wonder they were so angry. They had a feud with Ye Xuan long ago and lost a few important disciples at Changping. It was said that they were all being trained to be the next sect master. Who would have thought that they would die at the hands of the great demons?

It turned out that Ye Xuan had signed a treaty with the demonic beasts. In their eyes, he had ulterior motives. They even started to conspire that Ye Xuan was involved in the deaths of those disciples.

Therefore, they joined forces with a few sects that had objections and came menacingly to deal with Ye Xuan.

“The shame of the human race?”

Ye Xuan’s expression turned cold. “Is there such a thing? How come I didn’t know about this?”

“Don’t try to deny it. You must have colluded with those demonic beasts and gained a lot of benefits. That’s why you signed the treaty. Don’t forget that you’re a human. How dare you degrade yourself and mix with those demonic beasts?”

“That’s right. You even gave the land and the spirit mines that used to belong to us to the demon beasts. What right do you have to do this? Who gave you the right?”
