“I sensed the aura of the demon race,” Luo Lingxing said in a low voice.
After carefully sensing it again, Luo Lingxing was certain that he had not misjudged it. It was indeed the aura of the demon race, and it was getting closer and closer to them. Although the aura of these demons was not strong, it still puzzled him. How could there be demons here?
He first sensed the aura of the demons on Planet Seyfert. At that time, the demons’ aura was much weaker, and they couldn’t even transform into human form. But this time, the demons’ aura he sensed was significantly stronger than before. At least, he should be able to transform into human form.
Although Luo Lingxing didn’t think these demons were worth mentioning, his brows furrowed even more.
“Demons?” Han Junzhan repeated, as he knew a little about demons.
Neither of them made any rash moves. Instead, they concealed their cultivator auras and waited for the demons to approach. They wanted to see what these demons wanted to do here.
Before long, Hu Zhenhua and his group led the so-called envoys of advanced civilizations. The scene of them being surrounded by a large entourage and the fawning smiles of Hu Zhenhua and his group made the family heads present somewhat disapproving, but they did not say anything.
This was the first real appearance of those foreign envoys besides the one in the video. Although many people were unhappy with their high-profile behavior, many of the invited guests were also curious about them, especially about their abilities. Were they really as impressive as they appeared in the video?
The moment these people arrived at the scene, they glanced at the corner and couldn’t help but shudder. However, they quickly looked away, so no one noticed their actions. But Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing saw it all clearly.
Luo Lingxing finally understood why the abilities shown in that video resembled the techniques used by cultivators, and why someone could cultivate to that level despite having no spiritual energy. Now, after seeing these so-called foreign envoys, Luo Lingxing understood everything.
Because these messengers were not cultivators at all, and you could even say they were not human, since they were all demons in disguise.
These were merely small demons that had just begun to take human form. Faced with Luo Lingxing’s cultivation level, they had nowhere to escape.
He never expected that these demons would be so bold as to come to the human world after transforming into human form, and even in such a guise.
Indeed, these monsters were powerful enough for ordinary people, but when they encountered Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing, they were no match for them at all.
It seemed that demons also existed in this world. Now that he had encountered them, he was not going to let them go easily.
However, given the current situation, dealing with these demons was still a bit troublesome. After all, these demons came as envoys of a superior civilization and displayed abilities that surpassed science, leaving the empire’s people and high-ranking officials in awe and even treating them as honored guests. If they suddenly discovered that these honored guests had vanished into thin air, they certainly wouldn’t let it go easily.
He needed to plan carefully to deal with these demons, but he would not allow them to harm the empire he lived in.
Hu Zhenhua greeted the heads of the powerful families with these distinguished guests, which was also a way of indirectly trying to win them over to the side of the government.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were specifically invited by these distinguished guests. Hu Zhenhua was initially quite reluctant, as these two were considered representatives of the military. If the distinguished guests spent too much time with these two and were persuaded by them to side with the military, then their government would truly have little hope.
However, Hu Zhenhua did not have the courage to refuse the requests of these distinguished guests. Fortunately, throughout the banquet, these guests seemed to have forgotten about Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing, and did not mention them at all. Hu Zhenhua was more than happy about this. He even wanted the guests to forget about Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing. He deliberately ignored Luo Bingshuo and Han Junyu because he was worried about bringing up Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were happy to hide in a corner without having to embarrass themselves with others. After the banquet ended, they went straight home without even saying goodbye to Hu Zhenhua.
“Luoluo, what’s this about the demon race you mentioned before?” Han Junzhan asked in the car.
“Do you remember the monster we encountered on Planet Seyfert before?” “That demon’s cultivation level was very low. It couldn’t even transform into human form, and it only carried a faint aura of the demon race. But these demons today can already transform into human form. Although their cultivation level isn’t high, it’s already very powerful for ordinary people. I suspect they might have come from Planet Seyfert.” Luo Lingxing said, frowning.
When he first encountered the demons, he explored the planet Seyfert, but he only had his own strength, and the planet Seyfert was extremely large. If the demons wanted to deliberately hide themselves, it wouldn’t be an easy task for him to find them.
Therefore, the results of that investigation were nothing, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. However, he didn’t expect that in the past few years, those little demons had actually reached the level of human transformation and even dared to appear in front of them. He didn’t know if they were too bold or thought that there was no one in the world who could deal with them.
“Planet Seyfert?” Han Junzhan’s brows furrowed as well.
Although Planet Seyfert was not a habitable planet, it was still part of the Empire’s territory and was home to many powerful beasts. If there were indeed demons on it, the threat to the Empire would be enormous.
“Junzhan, let’s go to Planet Seyfert again,” Luo Lingxing suddenly said.
Planet Seyfert holds special significance for them, and it was a planet they wanted to possess privately. They’d already submitted their application, and the planet might soon be theirs. So how could they allow demons to exist on their territory?
Therefore, Luo Lingxing wanted to go and investigate further, and then completely wipe out the demons above.
In his previous life, as a cultivator, he was irreconcilably opposed to the demon race, like fire and water. This time, he was even more determined not to allow the demon race to exist!
Han Junzhan naturally understood his lover’s thoughts, because he felt the same way, but…
“We don’t know what these demons are trying to achieve by coming to the Empire. Once we figure out their purpose and find an opportunity to completely eliminate them, we’ll go and investigate Planet Seyfert,” Han Junzhan suggested. Luo Lingxing thought for a moment and nodded. There was no rush. After all, there were still many of his cherished relatives on the Emperor Star. If they left and his relatives were harmed, it would be a great loss.
These days, Hu Zhenhua and other high-ranking government officials would take those so-called superhumans from superior civilizations on a tour of the Emperor Star, introducing them to the situation on the Emperor Star. They looked no different from traitorous lackeys.
“Superpowered individuals” was a general term used to refer to these extraterrestrial beings who possess abilities that transcend natural phenomena. It was originally mentioned by one person unintentionally, but it gradually spread among everyone.
Hu Zhenhua and his group not only took those superhumans for a stroll on the streets, but also visited some important places on the Emperor Star, and even the military requested to see them.
Upon hearing the news, Marshal Zhou Zhongguo and some generals, known for their fiery tempers, almost went directly to the government to give Hu Zhenhua and the others a severe beating.
“That old bastard Hu Zhenhua actually brought those people to visit the military headquarters. Is he senile? Doesn’t he know that the military headquarters is an important base of the country? How can he easily allow outsiders to visit it?” Zhou Yi was very dissatisfied with this.
“If other countries find out about our military strength, it will be very detrimental to our empire. I don’t believe those bastards in the government don’t know. They’re doing it on purpose.” Another general was also very indignant.
“I think Hu Zhenhua and his ilk are really going to great lengths to win over those few superhumans,” Zhou Zhongguo sighed.
Everyone knew that the government officials had always been wary of the military, but no one expected that Hu Zhenhua and his associates would go to such lengths.
However, these superhumans came to the Chinese Empire under the guise of friendly relations. If the military were to refuse their request to visit without hesitation, it could very likely cause their dissatisfaction and lead to war between the two countries, which would be very disadvantageous for the Chinese Empire.
“Actually, this isn’t all a bad thing. Since Hu Zhenhua and the others want to win over those people, so can we. If those people really end up working for us, then the military’s strength will definitely be elevated to another level. If they are willing to teach us that kind of superpower, then the improvement in the military’s strength will be much greater.”
Just then, a more optimistic general shared his thoughts.
Everyone fell silent, clearly considering the pros and cons of the matter. Just as the general had said, if they could truly win them over, that would be the best outcome. However, if they failed to win them over and the other side learned of their strength, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.
“Since refusing could potentially trigger a war between the two countries, we certainly can’t refuse. However, we can create a false impression for the other side. At worst, we can just conceal our true abilities,” Zhou Yi suggested.
To avoid a bad relationship with the other party, they would definitely have to agree. Hu Zhenhua and his group knew this would be the outcome, which is why they were even more emboldened.
