Chapter 1060.1: Eating and Drinking - Part 1
After finishing the roasted sweet potatoes, Xie Nandu still asked the question Chen Chao knew she would definitely ask.
“How many will come exactly?”
Chen Chao had actually already talked about this question at the General's Office before, but he had only mentioned it in passing and had not gone into detail.
Xie Nandu looked at the sweet potatoes on the brazier and slowly said, “This time the demon race sent three, and the pressure was already tremendous. But you and I both know very well that, for the demon race, this is by no means the end. More likely, it's only the beginning. The demon race's foundation should be far deeper than we imagine.”
Chen Chao glanced at Xie Nandu and said, “There are some old daoists in the Infatuation Daoist Temple. It's impossible to say exactly how many, but they're definitely all above Nepenthe. Apart from the Infatuation Daoist Temple, whether places like the Myriad Heaven Palace still have a few Fuyun cultivators is also impossible to say.” “And besides those, it's also impossible to say how many Fuyun Realms are living in seclusion throughout the world.”
“In the thousand years that have passed, even if only three or five such existences appeared every hundred years, there still wouldn't be few Fuyun powerhouses in the world today.”
At this point, Chen Chao gave a bitter smile. “Since the human race has produced so many powerhouses, the demon race will only have more. Cultivation comes more easily to them by nature, especially once they reach a certain realm, where their advantages become enormous. Take White Jing for example. After leaving the Demon Domain, he swept all the way through with hardly any opponents.” “Although that was because the human race's true powerhouses never made a move, it still shows the gap between us.”
Mentioning White Jing, Chen Chao opened his mouth and said, “Back on the city wall, I didn't kill him directly. It looked like it was because time was pressing and I had no time to bother with him, but in truth, him staying alive is more useful to us.”
Xie Nandu nodded and calmly said, “He's highly ambitious, and he holds an exalted position in the northern Demon Sea. You're thinking that if the opportunity arises, he'll definitely contend for the position of Demon Emperor.”
