Chapter 13980 Humans Will Be Inferior Beings
As she spoke, Lü Ning looked at Ling Xiao, her eyes conveying an undeniable sense of authority.

"No!" Shangguan Yue shook her head without hesitation, her eyes becoming increasingly firm, like an unshakeable mountain.

"Why?" Lü Ning frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face, clearly dissatisfied with Shangguan Yue's refusal.

“Because I intend to help him,” Shangguan Yue said earnestly, her eyes gleaming with a unique light, as if she had seen some kind of hope. “Since the Demon King cannot realize my ideal, then let him realize it. I believe he may have that ability.”

"Him?" Lu Ning frowned even more, his eyes full of disdain. "Although his strength is not weak, he is no match for the Demon King, and he can't even defeat the Demon King. What makes him so special?"

In Lü Ning's view, Ling Xiao was just a martial artist with some skill. Compared to the Demon King and the Monster King, he was worlds apart. How could he possibly achieve the unattainable peaceful and prosperous world that Shangguan Yue spoke of?

“I think he can do it.” Shangguan Yue raised her chin slightly, her eyes filled with certainty and expectation, and said in a calm but powerful tone, “His talent is actually far superior to that of the two kings. It’s just that he has lacked some key opportunities and has not had enough time to grow. Given time, he will definitely shine brightly.”

"Gentlemen, may I say something?" Ling Xiao stood to the side, listening to the two of them discussing him back and forth. He couldn't contain himself any longer and quickly raised his hand, his face showing a mixture of helplessness and urgency.

"No!" The two women said in unison, their voices clear and resolute, rejecting him without hesitation.

The synchronized responses seemed to have been planned in advance.

"Seriously? I can't even speak about things related to me? That's just too unfair!" Ling Xiao was speechless. He spread his hands, his face full of a wry smile. He secretly groaned, feeling like an outsider who could only passively listen to others talk about him without even a chance to interject.

Lu Ning crossed his arms and stared intently at Shangguan Yue for a moment, his eyes filled with scrutiny and concern. Then he slowly said, "You should leave quickly. This place is a mixed bag, fraught with danger. If someone catches up with you, they won't be as accommodating as I am. It will be difficult for you to escape then."

After saying that, she sighed helplessly, her sigh seemingly mixed with helplessness and worry about the complicated situation.

Then, she turned and walked away, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

Shangguan Yue gazed in the direction Lü Ning had left, a faint smile playing on her lips. She remarked with a touch of melancholy, "You see, there are kind-hearted people among demons. They are not all bloodthirsty and cruel. Take Lü Ning, for example. Although she is among the demons, she still has her own kindness and principles."

After saying that, she slowly turned her head and her gaze fell on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao grinned, scratched his head, and said, "I didn't deny that. There are indeed good and bad demons. But you also have to admit that most demons' cruelty is unacceptable even to you. They stop at nothing to achieve their goals, indiscriminately killing innocent people. Their cruelty is simply outrageous."

After saying this, Ling Xiao suddenly felt dizzy and everything in front of him began to blur.

He then remembered that although he had successfully killed Niu Shengren, the battle had taken a heavy toll on him.

At this moment, the exhaustion and pain in his body surged like a tide, making it impossible for him to hold on any longer.

"No, I'm going to sleep for a bit!" As soon as he finished speaking, he lay straight down on the ground and immediately started snoring, the snoring sounding particularly loud in the quiet environment.

Shangguan Yue looked at Ling Xiao, who had fallen asleep on the ground, speechless for a moment. Her lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but kick Ling Xiao, saying irritably, "You're really at ease, falling asleep like this without any guard up. Aren't you afraid I'll take the opportunity to kill you?"

Despite this, she showed no murderous intent.

With that, she grabbed Ling Xiao by the collar and dragged him forward like a piece of cargo, muttering, "What a troublesome guy."

On the other side, within the Demon Suppression City, a place permeated with an aura of vicissitude and grimness, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The heavy city gates were tightly closed, like an indestructible barrier, isolating the city from the dangers of the outside world.

On the city wall, the mottled bloodstains, like cruel marks etched by time, silently tell the story of the fierce battle that once took place here.

Each streak of blood carries the joys and sorrows of countless lives, witnessing the breathtaking life-and-death struggle between humans and demons.

A demon king dressed in magnificent robes stood silently not far from the city gate, like a majestic mountain peak, exuding an aura that was difficult to look directly at.

He wore a dazzling star crown in his hair, the gems on which shimmered with a mysterious and captivating light, as if they contained the secrets of the universe.

The dragon scale necklace around her neck emitted a faint, mysterious light, each dragon scale seemingly telling an ancient and powerful legend.

The Demon King appeared to be thin and weak, but he exuded an awe-inspiring aura. That aura spread outwards like an invisible wave, making everything around him seem small and fragile.

Behind him stood a group of powerful figures, each exuding an aura of restraint yet revealing extraordinary strength.

One of the old men held an antique abacus. The abacus looked ordinary, but each bead emitted a faint blue light. As the light flowed, it seemed to contain endless mysteries and calculations.

There was also a young girl carrying a huge guqin on her back. The guqin had an ancient and simple design, and the strings were filled with wisps of sound waves. The sound waves were faint and elusive, as if they could play a magnificent piece of music at any moment.

"Pass down the order: this place shall be our new foundation." The Demon King's voice was clear and melodious, like the sweet sound of silver bells, yet his words carried an undeniable authority.

He slowly squatted down, his slender fingers gently picking up a piece of dirt-covered pebble, rubbing it lightly in his hand.

A hint of indifference flashed in his eyes, as if nothing in the world could stir a ripple in his heart.

"We've finally arrived here. This land is now the territory of my Demon Sea. From this day forward, humans will be relegated to a lower realm."

His voice was cold and resolute, as if announcing the arrival of a new era.

At this moment, Qiu Haitang stepped forward with light steps, bowed slightly, and reported in a low voice:

"Demon King, the remnants of the Holy Temple, together with the Qin family and the Feather Clan, have fled their homeland and entered the Tianyuan Dynasty."

The aquatic creatures retreated into the deeper waters, seemingly seeking a moment of peace in those dark depths…
