Chapter 44: Threat of War
"Oh, I see."
Luo Tian looked at the girl strangely.
They didn't hide their conversation, but there was still no reaction on her face. She still closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"Looks like I got a gem," he said.
"Little miss, do you really not want to say anything?" He asked.
He wanted to know what kind of place foreign enemies came from. He also wanted to know what her journey was like, what her destination was, in fact he even had suspicions that she was running away from them.
Unfortunately she completely ignored him.
"Well, I'd better lock her up first."
It was so that she couldn't do anything weird again.
Black Flame waved his hand once more and she immediately disappeared from the room.
"By the way, Black Flame, how about catching those blood demons and making them talk?" he asked Black Flame.
"I'll try," he replied.
He didn't do anything. Of course, he didn't have to act alone.
After a while, he shook his head.
"Emmm, there's something on their bodies that will blow them up if they say something that shouldn't be said. But it's not on that girl's body."
"Oh, but is your spiritual sense able to enter the spatial cracks used by those blood demons?"
Black Flame shook his head once again. "Even I personally may not be able to enter, there is some kind of strange power in those spatial cracks. It is something extremely terrifying."
"Strange power? Did it come from their grand paragon."
"Well, let's go," he said.
There was clearly a reason that the Qin emperor had done nothing to those spatial cracks. It wasn't something he could figure out with his strength.
He also canceled his intention to call Yingyue. Even though the latter didn't give him any means of communication to contact her, he could still get her to come if he ordered the Black Flame to interfere with the power she had left in his body. She would definitely feel it, but he was worried that it would harm her if she panicked in the gaps. After all, he didn't know what kind of place it was.
They immediately returned outside the inn where the three Zhou people were waiting.
Upon arriving outside, Luo Tian found the city looking very busy, many soldiers running here and there.
He heard some people talking.
"The city lord has announced, whoever finds the fleeing blood demon girl will receive a mid-level spiritual weapon, and whoever catches her will receive a level three spiritual weapon as a reward."
"We can also exchange the rewards for cultivation resources."
"It is said that the girl has used a rare treasure to escape, but she has not run too far, she has also lost her cultivation, there is still hope of re-capturing her."
"..."
Luo Tian sneered as he heard their words, they needed to search his body if they wanted to find the girl.
He then explored the city, seeing life there. He did that only to satisfy the desires of his true personality.
Day turned to night, the city was still full of the sound of people's footsteps.
Sometimes there was a mighty aura that flew from far away towards the city.
At first Luo Tian didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary, but as time went on, it turned out that more and more were coming so he felt suspicious.
"Did they all come looking for the girl?" He wondered.
"Master, I was just investigating, a huge crack appeared in the Blood Demon Territory," said Black Flame suddenly.
"What is going on?"
"Quite a number of blood demons are coming from the crack, some of them are screaming to attack humans, I also feel an aura that is almost reaching the immortal realm trying to enter."
"Aura that has almost reached the immortal realm? Do they want to fight? This must be related to that girl. Do they want to save her? We may need to ask someone."
"Oh, looks like we don't have to."
He suddenly saw Zhou Lei coming with hasty steps. The sweat on his body showed that he had run long enough.
"Young master," he said quite loudly when he saw him.
"Is there something?" he asked.
"Yes." Zhou Lei nodded.
"That captured girl turned out to be of high status, the blood demon clan has declared war if we don't return her in one piece. They are planning to attack this city and other immortal dragon cities. The elders didn't want that to happen, so they wanted to return the girl."
"Oh."
"Ehmmm, young master?" Zhou Lei said doubtfully.
Luo Tian looked at him with sharp eyes in response, causing him to lower his neck.
He then continued on his way.
"Why are you guys afraid of going to war? Besides, aren't there spiritual walls that the immortals built?" he asked as he walked.
"Erm, actually the current human condition is very weak, we don't have many experts. Like this city, there used to be elders with sovereign cultivation who guarded personally, but now, only one spiritual emperor, is the strongest expert here. If the blood demons make a massive invasion once again, we will definitely lose."
"Although there is a wall created by the immortals, no one is sure how long it can last if the blood demons attack."
"It will last for 50 years as long as no immortals attack, nor did I find any immortals of the blood demons," Black Flame suddenly replied.
"Oh, that's still a long time."
Luo Tian was nonchalant about it. He definitely wouldn't stay in this world until then, and he didn't care even if the world was destroyed.
However, he knew he would feel guilty about it when his true personality returned.
He then looked at the three younger generations of the Zhou clan.
He asked, "Are you guys interested in becoming immortal?"
