Chapter 1003: Chapter 1023: If I Speak, Who Dares to Disobey?_1

The Monster Emperor and the Human Emperor sitting together, drinking tea and playing chess?

Nalan Wushuang widened her eyes, imagining the scene in her head, feeling it incredibly strange, and then suddenly snapping back to reality.

The Monster Emperor and the Human Emperor, aren’t they father and son?

A father and son sitting together, drinking tea and playing chess, this scene...

"Do you think like this because the Monster Emperor is your father?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, even if he were a true demon and had no relation to me, I would still hold this view."

Lin Chen looked at Nalan Wushuang and said with a smile: "I come from the Human World, and my concept may be different from yours, but I think this is easier to achieve."

"Isn’t it basically like this now? Dongpengzhou and Dongshengzhou are territories of the demon race, basically no humans. North Wuzhou, Xixi State, Nan Yuzhou, East Emperor State belong to the Human Clan, where there are only low-level demonic beasts, and high-level demons are rare. Central Divine State is in chaos, where humans and demons coexist, just without any rules to restrain their behavior and no rules to protect the safety of the lower-class civilians."

"If there is a strong expert to establish fair laws and secure powerful protection, I think the peaceful coexistence of the two races is not a difficult matter."

"Tragedies like Xingyuan City, I think, are not unavoidable."

Nalan Wushuang smiled wryly: "What you said is beautiful, but would others agree with your view?"

Lin Chen spread his hands: "Everyone can see the current situation, isn’t the goal I’m talking about better than it is now? Why would anyone object to it?"

"Besides, I don’t have the ability to do this, saying these things is just foolishly dreaming and courting death, but if I have that ability, who would dare defy when I speak?"

Nalan Wushuang was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Yes, if you have enough strength, who would dare defy you? In this world, it has always been the strong who have the final say, unless someone can destroy you, otherwise, your words become unchangeable!"

Lin Chen nodded: "Right, so everything I’ve been saying is based on having enough martial prowess, otherwise, it’s all just illusory."

Lin Chen looked at Nalan Wushuang and asked: "What about you, the Demon Saintess, what’s your goal or ideal?"

There was a faint confusion in the eyes of the Demon Saintess, and she was silent for a few seconds: "In the past, it was to lead the demon race and restore our former glory."

Lin Chen laughed: "Attack the humans and tread them underfoot, turning them into slaves of the demon race..."

Na Nan Wushuang didn’t answer, but it was evident that her answer wasn’t much different from what Lin Chen said.

Haven’t the battles between humans and demons always been a matter of life and death?

A city appeared in front of the two of them, Lin Chen turned his head and stared at the old, battered city wall.

"We’re here."

The city walls of Xingyuan City were quite high, and the surrounding city walls were vast, but the walls were severely damaged. No one lived outside the city, and crops in the fertile fields outside the city were sparse, making it look desolate.

The city was considered large, but it was desolate.

At the East City Gate, two human corpses hung from the walls, their bodies already withered. They could faintly make out a man and a woman, naked. The man’s body was relatively intact, but the woman’s was horribly mutilated, with two gaping holes in her chest and wounds all over her body.

Lin Chen’s eyes were calm, and he said indifferently after a glance: "Let’s enter the city."

Nalan Wushuang asked, "Aren’t you going to collect their bodies?"

Lin Chen said indifferently: "They need to be mourned. When I get the offerings, I will come back and collect their bodies."

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips. She naturally understood what Lin Chen meant by the offerings.

She was a Demon Saintess, and she should say something originally, but facing Lin Chen and the hanging corpses in front of her eyes, especially the twisted face of the female cultivator, she couldn’t say a word.

She followed behind Lin Chen, walking silently.

There were no guards at the city gate. The occupying demons weren’t worried about people leaving the city. As long as they didn’t take flying boats, where could ordinary people go?

Even the nearest city was thousands of miles away. How could ordinary people manage to cross a thousand miles of demon-infested wilderness?

The two of them walked slowly along the bluestone road inside the city. The bluestone road was already quite run-down, with many pits, and no one had repaired it.

On both sides of the bluestone road were shabby houses, some of which had already been abandoned and were covered with cobwebs.

After walking towards the city center for a while, the two saw more people, but at a glance, life seemed difficult for them.

Lin Chen was just about to ask for directions to the City Lord’s Mansion when suddenly an old woman hurriedly waved at him from the side.

Lin Chen walked over: "Auntie, what’s the matter?"

The old woman looked nervously left and right before whispering: "You must be from out of town. Leave quickly. The city is now occupied by demons. Their leader has a weakness for beautiful women. His men are searching the city for beautiful women to send to the City Lord’s Mansion for his pleasure..."

Lin Chen’s heart warmed, it turned out that this old woman, like that middle-aged man, meant well.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, a sharp, cold voice suddenly came from beside them: "Old thing, you’ve got guts, daring to speak ill of the City Lord behind his back. It seems I’ll have a good dinner tonight..."
