Chapter 503: Chapter 253: Repay Grievances Directly! Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night! (7600 words)_2

From the moment they were born, they were acutely aware of their destiny: to either die in battle or be put to death by the noble lords. For most of them, the sole meaning of their existence was to await death.

Since death was inevitable, why die for other noble lords? Lords who didn’t even consider them demons, who subjected them to constant beatings and humiliation. At first, this all seemed normal; they didn’t think anything was wrong with it because everyone like them was treated the same way.

But today, someone had finally stood up and told them that all of it... was wrong!

That in this world, all beings are equal. That the Pure-blooded Creatures and True Demons were no more noble than the Human Race.

It wasn’t just the Foreign Demons who had to die for their Pure-blooded lords; a high and mighty Pure-blooded lord could also take a lash for a lowly Foreign Demon!

To die for such a lord... they would do so willingly.

After all, he truly saw them as fellow demons!

"I am not in need of followers, nor do I wish for you to give up your freedom and make dying for another your life’s ambition." Xiang Shan looked at the demons around him and said righteously, "What does it mean to be a demon? It means to follow your heart, to do as you please! It is obsession, it is conviction, it is power... You should all walk your own paths!"

He spoke frankly, but most of them couldn’t comprehend his words. They just stood there in a daze, realizing they had been rejected.

With that, he turned and left without a hint of hesitation.

The crowd watched his retreating back. They looked at one another as his words echoed in their minds, booming like spring thunder.

News spread quickly throughout Three Origins City. Before long, everyone had heard the tale. The ninth prince of the Earth Magic Elephant Clan had not only saved a group of Foreign Demons from a fight to the death in the Demon Battle Arena, but had also shielded a follower from a whipping in the street. He had even used his own body to block the lash for a Foreign Demon he didn’t even know.

The entire city was shaken as if by a violent earthquake. All the great clans and countless experts took notice.

"Has that boy from the Earth Magic Elephant Clan gone mad?"

"I heard he declared in public that all demons are equal! That there’s no distinction between Foreign Demons, Pure-blooded Creatures, or even True Demons!"

"What a joke! That’s rebellious talk, a violation of the Demon God’s teachings!"

"It seems like he’s trying to win people over!"

"Win them over? What’s the use of winning the loyalty of a bunch of Foreign Demons?" an expert sneered, completely dismissive.

The reason Foreign Demons have such a low status is their mixed bloodlines and inherent weakness. Not only is their progress in cultivation slow, but even a powerful Foreign Demon who has lived for ages will be utterly crushed by a Pure-blooded Creature of the same realm.

They have no chance of victory. The suppression of their bloodline is absolute!

Even if Xiang Shan gathered every Foreign Demon in Three Origins City under his banner, what could they possibly accomplish? Even a newborn of the Demon Race understands this. How could Xiang Shan not?

"It’s probably just a farce. Let’s just watch."

"These kids are always fooling around. Who knows what game he’s playing now? It will probably blow over in a few days."

"Heh heh, how amusing. Equality among all demons? Hahaha..." Someone roared with laughter, thoroughly entertained. They thought it was a fine joke, perfect to tell over a few drinks.

"We swear!"

"We swear!"

"To willingly join the Ancestral Demon Sect!"

"To willingly join the Ancestral Demon Sect!"

"To resolutely follow the teachings of the Demon Ancestor and the guidance of the Holy Scripture, dedicating our lives to resisting oppression, inequality, and exploitation! To strive for the creation of a harmonious and beautiful Demon Realm!"

"To resolutely follow the teachings of the Demon Ancestor and the guidance of the Holy Scripture, dedicating our lives to resisting oppression, inequality, and exploitation! To strive for the creation of a harmonious and beautiful Demon Realm!"

"We shall not fear sacrifice, we shall not fear death, we shall not fear tyranny!"

"We shall not fear sacrifice, we shall not fear death, we shall not fear tyranny!"

"This oath is heard by heaven and earth, witnessed by the Demon God, and listened to by the mountains and rivers, the myriad spirits, the sun, the moon, and the vast sea!"

"This oath is heard by heaven and earth, witnessed by the Demon God, and listened to by the mountains and rivers, the myriad spirits, the sun, the moon, and the vast sea!"

Outside Three Origins City, within a secluded cave, hundreds of Foreign Demons stood in neat rows with solemn expressions. Following Xiang Shan’s lead, they recited their oaths, truly joining the Ancestral Demon Sect from this day forward.

HUMMM!

In that instant, a blood-red glow surged like an ocean, pulsing magnificently in the night. Its shimmering light enveloped everyone present.

Each of them had sworn a blood oath. No matter what happened, they would never betray one another, nor would they forget the conviction they held on this day.

Xiang Shan stood on a high perch, gazing down at the orderly figures below, his heart swelling with pride.

Senior Nicholas, can you see this? I am fulfilling your expectations and guidance, step by step.

Many people on the street today had expressed their desire to follow him, but he hadn’t accepted them all into the Ancestral Demon Sect. The risk was too great, and he wasn’t yet ready to manage so many members.

Furthermore, he had no intention of bringing the Ancestral Demon Sect completely into the open.

After all, the true power in this world was still held by those experts. There were many things the sect could not yet do.

In other words, the high-ranking demons tolerated the existence of the Ancestral Demon Sect only because they considered it a trivial game. They saw it as a joke, not a threat to their positions.

But if they were to openly confront the great clans, the Ancestral Demon Sect would undoubtedly disintegrate.
