Chapter 489 Great Evil Appears Like Good

Traveling north, Lu Heng and his companions saw a scene of desolation and bustle mixed with desolation.

The desolation and desolation were the mortals who had migrated away from their hometowns.

The bustle and prosperity were the practitioners who had gathered here under the order of the Heavenly Court.

A large number of practitioners have now gathered on the vast borders of Youxiong Country and Wan Yao Country. On the side of Youxiong Country, the fairy light was bright and the divine light was vast. The floating boats, flying islands, and even various strange sect magic tools all emitted brilliant light. Many righteous practitioners were waiting for the day of the general attack.

On the other side of the border, there was a different scene.

The surging evil spirit almost covered the sky, like a dark curtain stretching across the land in the north. Countless ferocious beasts and terrifying demons rose and fell in the frenzy of evil spirits, and from time to time there were strange and shrill roars that spread hundreds of miles and captivated people's souls.

In order to deal with the attack from the Heavenly Court, the Beiji Tiangui Palace also dispatched a large number of demon cultivators to cross the border.

The terrifying momentum of the struggle between good and evil is like a volcanic crater that has been brewing to its peak, and the killing game is about to break out.

The surging divine light and immortal energy, as well as the surging demon energy that almost covered the sky and the earth, were so large that even Lu Heng and his three companions who were passing by could not help but look sideways.

However, after crossing the border of the Wan Yao Kingdom and entering this land of evil demons where demons were entrenched, Lu Heng and his companions gradually discovered some strange places.

In the silent patrol of the escape light, Zhu Long looked down at the evil demons and monsters with surging demon energy below, frowned and said: "It seems that something is not right..."

Zhu Long's confusion is also the confusion of Lu Heng and Jiu Mie.

Because they entered the border of the Wan Yao Kingdom, they could clearly find that in the face of the righteous cultivators who were constantly gathering in the south, the evil demons who should have gone all out seemed to be constantly withdrawing people back to the north?

Although from the outside, there are evil demons gathering and demonic energy rising to the sky on the border. But if you really come in to explore, you can easily find some abnormal places.

It’s just that the evil demons that keep leaving to the north are strong but few in number. In addition, a large number of ordinary demon soldiers are constantly coming south from the north, so it is difficult to find the abnormal movements of this group of evil demons.

If Lu Heng and his three people were not stronger and more capable than ordinary people, they would not be able to see the abnormal movements of the evil demon army below.

In the escape light, Jiu Mie was confused and said, "Is there any disaster in the north? Why are the movements of the demon soldiers so strange?"

The three looked at each other, all puzzled.

Lu Heng's mind moved, and the speed of the escape light became faster and faster.

The territory of the Wan Yao Kingdom is vast, almost occupying the entire northern border. It was originally composed of the Qingqiu Kingdom, which leaned towards the righteous path, and the Beiji Tiangui Palace, which leaned towards the demon path, but since the Qingqiu King was killed by Sun Yan, the entire Wan Yao Kingdom has become a paradise for demons.

On the earth, evil demons are rampant. But in contrast, there are more prosperous and lively mortal dynasties.

The Beiji Tiangui Palace has supported many mortal dynasties in the Wan Yao country, and sent a large number of evil demons to take over the mountains, land and rivers, and use the magic power of the evil demons and the power of the mountain gods, land gods and river gods to protect the land and water, good weather and good harvest every year.

But in contrast, it is the blood and food of living people that must be handed over by various countries, cities and towns every year.

These blood and food of living people are enjoyed by the demon cultivators scattered all over the country according to the rules set by the Beiji Tiangui Palace.

Under the rule of the evil demons, the major mortal dynasties do not even need to have an army. Because the Beiji Tiangui Palace prohibits mortals from fighting and fighting, and wars between countries are absolutely prohibited.

The duties of the kings are to maintain the stability of the dynasty, find ways to make the subjects have more children, and ensure sufficient blood and food supply every year.

In the era when Jiufeng was in charge of the Beiji Tiangui Palace, the evil demons ruled over the mortals, forcing them to offer a large amount of blood food regularly. After Sun Yan entered the Beiji Tiangui Palace, such rule became more in-depth.

The big and small evil demons were sent to various places according to the level planning to become incense gods, ensuring that the mortals had good weather and were not suffering from disasters, and could live and work in peace and reproduce every year. The evil demons guarding various places can also take a part of the blood food offered by the mortals every year for their own enjoyment and practice.

The talented mortals will be sent to the Beiji Tiangui Palace to teach the skills and become practitioners, and then become the blood food of the top demons after they have achieved success in their practice.

In order to maintain the stability of his rule, Sun Yan formulated extremely strict criminal laws to punish those evil demons who killed mortals indiscriminately. At the same time, he also formulated a very meticulous "blood tax law" to ensure that he could obtain blood food from mortals to the maximum extent while ensuring the continuous prosperity of the mortal dynasty.

Therefore, all Lu Heng and his companions saw on their way north were prosperous paradises and paradises on earth.

These mortals living under the rule of evil spirits not only lived happily, but also lived without worries. Here, mortals were well-fed and well-clothed, and their population was prosperous. There would be no injustice or man-made disasters.

In order to prevent internal friction among mortals, the Beiji Tiangui Palace formulated extremely strict laws to protect the vast majority of mortals, so that the powerful dared not act recklessly and criminals dared not appear.

Wherever Lu Heng and his companions went, no one picked up lost items on the road, and no one locked their doors at night. Every family was rich and happy, and there was peace and prosperity.

These mortals who had lived under the rule of evil spirits for generations no longer thought it was a terrible thing to offer blood food to the evil spirits every year. Under the deliberate guidance of the Beiji Tiangui Palace, all mortals fanatically worshipped the evil spirits.

Even the most lively celebration event every year is when blood meals are offered and victims are selected in various towns.

During those days, every house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, the streets are crowded with people, and tourists who are out on tour return home one after another to reunite with their families. Everyone is nervously and expectantly waiting for the "list of immortals" announced on the last day. If a family member is selected, not only will the mortals not be afraid and despair, but they will even celebrate excitedly. The chosen one is proud and happy, and his relatives and friends are even more proud and show off to everyone.

When Lu Heng and the others entered the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, they happened to catch up with the day when blood food was being selected in the Arctic Sky Cabinet Palace, and witnessed with their own eyes the excitement and bustle of mortals when their loved ones were chosen to become blood food.

Above the clouds, Jiu Mie clasped his hands together and murmured: "Good, good..."

Zhulong glanced at Lu Heng sideways and said, "Friend Lu Heng, your two apprentices are really top talents. Their talents and abilities are much better than yours..."

Amidst the bright fireworks that continued to rise in the sky, Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "For a moment, I didn't even know whether I should scold him or praise him... Sigh... Great evil is like good, it's hard to comment. ah……"
