Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1302: Chapter 208: Not Quite the Barbarian Clan

Shen Changqing put away the Divine Kingdom Core once again, then rose to his feet and left.

——

"Defender Shen is here."

In another courtyard, Dongfang Zhao looked at the visitor and smiled faintly.

"I have something for you; it might be of some use to your Path of Longevity."

Shen Changqing went straight to the point and directly tossed over the jade stone that contained the Black Demon Divine Clan Dharma.

Dongfang Zhao reached out and caught it.

He didn’t waste words; his Heart sank straight into it.

A moment later.

Dongfang Zhao’s Heart withdrew from the jade stone, shock on his face: "Defender Shen, where did this thing come from?"

The Black Demon Divine Clan Dharma contained within made it hard for him to extricate himself.

It was difficult to imagine.

There was actually a cultivation method so similar to his own Path of Longevity.

The only difference was.

The Dharma in the jade stone was quite sinister and vicious, using other living beings as nourishment to nurture itself, whereas the Path of Longevity, at its root, relied mainly on nature’s spiritual energy.

That was the greatest difference between the two.

However.

There was one thing Dongfang Zhao could be certain of: this Dharma had immense benefits for the Path of Longevity he cultivated.

If he could completely comprehend and draw on it, the Path of Longevity might very well have a chance to reach direct Perfection.

Such an opportunity was truly immense.

"This is a cultivation Dharma of the Black Demon Divine Clan. That clan counts as a top-tier existence among the Heavens. Though the beings within the clan are few, each one’s strength is extremely formidable. It’s said that the weakest of the true Black Demon Divine Clan are at the Divine King Realm.

I obtained this Dharma not long ago, and immediately noticed it was quite similar to the Path of Longevity you walk. So I brought it for you."

Shen Changqing said calmly.

Hearing this.

Dongfang Zhao took a deep breath, his grip on the jade stone tightening slightly: "The Black Demon Divine Clan’s Dharma... Zhao thanks Defender Shen!"

As his words fell, he bent and bowed with clasped hands.

This had nothing to do with status or rank; it was purely gratitude that the other had given him this opportunity.

The Black Demon Divine Clan’s Dharma, if it fell into another’s hands, would be equivalent to obtaining a Supreme Technique that pointed straight to the God Realm.

But in Dongfang Zhao’s hands, it was equivalent to vital nourishment for perfecting his own Great Dao.

The former was walking another’s road, the latter was opening a Dao alone.

Between the two.

They were completely different.

Shen Changqing did not decline, but calmly accepted the other’s salute.

To assist the other’s future attainment of Dao with the Black Demon Divine Clan’s Dharma, receiving a salute was perfectly normal.

After the salute.

Dongfang Zhao straightened up and asked solemnly: "As for the Martial Emperor and Tan Tianji, have they both already been slain by Defender Shen?"

This matter, he still had to confirm.

"The Human Clan no longer has the Martial Emperor or Tan Tianji. What exist now are only the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist of the Demon Evil Clan, and Taishan of the Black Demon Divine Clan."

"Heavenly Mechanism Taoist, Taishan..."

Dongfang Zhao’s expression stalled, and he immediately heard the deeper meaning in the other’s words.

Shen Changqing said: "It’s said that the Martial Emperor joining the Eternal Alliance was the idea of Yang Hou, the former Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division. From my observation, he should not have lied about this to those above, so I gave him a chance.

Especially since he now holds the identity of the Black Demon Divine Clan. If used well, it will be of no small help to my Human Clan.

As for Tan Tianji, he can be considered as following the Martial Emperor."

Yang Hou!

Upon hearing this name, Dongfang Zhao’s Heart trembled violently.

"Yang Hou..."

In an instant, he understood some things.

If he had not heard Yang Hou’s name, Dongfang Zhao still wouldn’t be able to be certain of anything. But after hearing that name, many things suddenly became clear.

Then.

Dongfang Zhao shook his head with a bitter smile: "I kept thinking, though the Martial Emperor was obsessed with cultivation, he was also quite concerned with the grand cause of the Human Clan. Why would he suddenly defect to the Demon Evil side and become the Eternal Alliance Master.

So it turns out it was arranged by Yang Venerable—"

Arranging for the Martial Emperor to infiltrate the Demon Evil faction, the purpose of that needed no explanation.

If not for this.

With the Martial Emperor’s talent, the Human Clan would surely have gained one more top-tier powerhouse.

However.

Dongfang Zhao also had some concerns: "Given the Human Clan’s current situation, it is not appropriate to expose ourselves. Defender Shen, isn’t this move rather risky?"

He was somewhat worried that those two would leak information about the Human Clan.

Even though he understood that their entry into the Demon Evil side came from Yang Hou’s arrangements, people’s hearts can change; Dongfang Zhao could not be certain that that one would always side with the Human Clan.

If so.

It would be equivalent to gambling with the entire Human Clan.

Conducting affairs in such a manner did not fit his style.

After all, the Human Clan cannot afford to gamble right now; if they lose, the outcome is extermination.

Shen Changqing said: "On this point you can rest easy. I have already placed a Forbidden Technique on the two of them. As long as they dare to reveal the Human Clan’s whereabouts, the Forbidden Technique will directly shut their mouths."

"Then that’s good."

Dongfang Zhao nodded slightly.

Since the other said so, it meant he had absolute confidence.

What he said earlier was merely a reminder.

Just then.

Someone came in from outside, clasped his fists and said: "Defender Dongfang, someone from the Imperial Palace has arrived."

After speaking, he saw the person to the side, and hastily saluted again: "I have seen Defender Shen!"

"Alright, I understand. Let him in."

Dongfang Zhao waved his hand.

Hearing this, that person respectfully withdrew.

In the courtyard.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "Since His Majesty has sent someone, it seems there is something important. Do you need me to avoid the conversation a little?"

He had already sensed Wu Gan, who was quietly waiting outside.

That was Gu Xing’s personal eunuch; without important business, he would not come in person.

"Defender Shen jests."

Dongfang Zhao let out a helpless smile.

Avoid?

Given the current state of the Human Clan, what is there that needs to be kept from him?

Shortly after.

Wu Gan walked in from outside. When he saw Shen Changqing present, his expression froze slightly, but he quickly reacted.
