When he came out of the City Lord's Mansion, it was already noon, and Ye Haotian, as usual, walked along the avenue in front of the mansion towards the small courtyard in the south of the city.

Along the way, his heart was particularly heavy.

In the cell for more than half an hour, Chen Cripple confessed all the plans and conspiracies of him and Zhao Laoxi.

These conspiracies include the entire process of forcing Liu Datou to kill Ye Haotian with the life of Tietou as a threat, including the origin of the mountain giant, and even all the details of his cruelty to Mei Niang and other missing women are told in their original form.

However, the final result of the interrogation was unsatisfactory, and it did not bring any surprises except for disappointment and shock to Ye Haotian.

The reason for Ye Haotian's disappointment was that Chen Cripple didn't know who the first person to spread the news of the "Luohe Book" to him was, including Zhao Laoxi, he had never seen that person, but he heard that it was related to a red-robed high priest of the demon clan, and this answer made Ye Haotian's idea of touching the melon die in an instant.

The chief priest of the red robe of the demon clan, that is a big man whose strength is comparable to that of a cultivator of the Seven Realms of the human race, in the eyes of a master at this level, there is no difference between Ye Haotian and a fragile ant at this time, and what is even worse is that every high priest of the demon clan has the terrifying ability to sacrifice to the true demon, as long as Ye Haotian is close to them within ten miles, the demon soul in his body will awaken, and within three miles, the opponent can sense his position, once he is locked, there is no possibility of escape. Ye Haotian is very confident in this.

Compared with the hopelessness of retrieving "Luohe Books", another news that Chen Cripple said shocked Ye Haotian even more, it was a big secret about the demon clan.

After tens of thousands of years of war, the many races of the Firmament Continent have formed a stable situation in which the three races of man, demon and demon are combined.

Among the three clans, the strength of the human and demon races is equal, and the demon clan, which has a huge number, is relatively weak.

There are two reasons for this.

One is that the five major tribes of the demon clan are naturally hostile, and it is difficult to join hands to fight the enemy, and the unified empire formed in order to fight the demon clan ten thousand years ago only lasted ten years before it collapsed.

The second is that the special physique of the demon clan is not suitable for cultivation, the number of meridians and spiritual knots in their bodies is much less than that of humans, and the distribution of lifelines is also different, even after turning into a human form, they cannot change the natural defects of the body, so the vast majority of the demon clan who want to rely on cultivation to strengthen themselves rely on cultivation is still the natal power from the race when fighting, that is, demonization.

It's just that there is a limit to the power of demonization.

Take the wolf demon as an example, the combat power of an ordinary adult wolf demon demon after demonization is about the same as that of a martial artist in the late stage of the human Tongxuan Realm, this innate ability is certainly superior to humans in the early stage, but the cultivation of human cultivators will become deeper and deeper over time, and the strength will become stronger and stronger, and the key to determining the outcome of the war often depends on the number of strong people on both sides, which forces the demon clan who also has the ambition to dominate the continent to choose to practice.

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of years of history have proved that except for a few races that are naturally strong but few in number that are comparable to humans in terms of cultivation talent, it is difficult for most races to make achievements in cultivation.

This result made the major demon kings of the demon clan feel disappointed.

Of course, practice is not without its benefits.

It not only prolongs the life of the demon race, but also enhances its demonized combat effectiveness to varying degrees.

For individuals, this increase is not obvious, but among the tens of millions of demon clans, this increase is extremely terrifying.

The strengthening of the demon clan first caused panic among the demons.

The great war caused by the demon 10,000 years ago has not been forgotten by the people of the two races, in order to prevent the demon clan from suddenly attacking, the seven demon lords of the demon clan continue to increase troops to the border of the two races, and in just a dozen years, the number of demon armies on the border has doubled.

Humans and the demon race were originally allies, but since the demon clan set off a boom in the cultivation of the whole clan, the relationship between the two races has plummeted, although there has been no large-scale war for many years, but the local conflict has never stopped, in the face of the growing ambition of the demon race, human countries have to be more careful, until three thousand years ago, the rise of the Heavenly Machine Gate, human cultivators developed a spirit pattern emperor costume that can greatly improve combat effectiveness, only to let this concern gradually fade.

After the appearance of the runic emperor costume, all ethnic groups in the mainland followed suit. Helplessly, due to the defects of the physique, it is difficult for the demon clan to exert the true power of the emperor's costume, especially after the demonization, due to the great changes in the meridians and knots in the body, even the simplest one-grade emperor costume cannot carry it, which makes the people of the demon clan who dream of dominating the continent almost fall into a desperate situation.

In order to solve the problem of carrying the emperor's costume after demonization, the five demon kings worked hard and thought of a lot of ways, but after thousands of years, they failed to make a breakthrough.

Because they suddenly thought that if the demon clan could really find a way to carry the rune emperor costume after demonization, then the entire continent would definitely fall into an unprecedented disaster, thinking that the strength of millions of demon warriors had all increased to a great realm, and even if the human and demon clans joined forces, there would be no hope of victory.

Fortunately, this kind of picture only exists in the imagination, and the imperial costume has strict requirements for the bearer's body, even if it is another three thousand years, the demon clan will not be able to find a solution.

However, Ye Haotian learned an amazing secret from Chen Cripple's mouth, that is, ten years ago, a mysterious person came from the tribe called Qingmeng where Chen Cripple belonged, he not only made this obscure small tribe famous overnight, but also solved the problem of carrying the emperor's costume after the demon clan demonized.

The demon clan has found a way to carry the emperor's costume after demonization?

When he heard the news, Ye Haotian couldn't believe his ears at all, but after many verifications from different sides, he knew that Chen Cripple was not lying, if this was the case, then in the future, mankind and even the entire continent would enter a new war, this battle was ten or even hundreds of times more tragic than the current war between humans and demons, I don't know how many people would die tragically in the war, thinking of this, Ye Haotian's mood suddenly fell to the extreme.

......

......

The familiar street was left behind step by step, and Ye Haotian, who was originally only two incense sticks, walked for half an hour, until he came to the dilapidated arrow tower before he regrouped his thoughts, threw the scenes that happened in the cell to the back of his mind, took a deep breath, and walked towards the small courtyard.

The door of the courtyard is open.

Before he arrived at the door, Ye Haotian heard bursts of crisp and pleasant laughter from inside, it was Su Ning'er's voice, this big-breasted county lord who never knew what to worry about seemed to be able to laugh at any time, thinking about the two days since she entered the house, Zhuzhu seemed to have become much more cheerful, Ye Haotian couldn't help but smile, he stepped over the threshold, and was just about to shout, but before the words came out, he was stunned by the scene he saw in front of him.
