Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 517 - 311: The Little Earth Immortal’s Marvelous Use

Chapter 517: Chapter 311: The Little Earth Immortal’s Marvelous Use

Zhang Ze is not entirely sure which side is the unofficial history.

After listening to Xiao Qingyun talk about the situation.

Zhang Ze found that the existence of the Human Emperor Banner in this era is not much of a secret.

If you go down the mountain now and casually ask a child, they can tell you that the Human Emperor has three treasures, one of which is the Human Emperor Banner.

In the era of the Ten Kingdoms, every child would hear their mother tell this story.

If you don’t behave, the Human Emperor Banner will come and spank your behind, then lock you inside the banner.

It’s passed down by word of mouth.

Although it always feels like something’s not quite right...

However, if you were to ask what the three treasures of the Human Emperor are, no matter who you ask, they would only tell you about the Human Emperor Banner.

As for the other two, no one knows.

Because that’s how the legend has been passed down.

The Human Emperor had three treasures, one named the Human Emperor Banner...

Then, nothing else follows.

It’s unknown if the author of the ditty died, or if the Human Emperor, after creating this one magical treasure, went off to spread Ten Thousand Laws to the Celestial Sect.

It’s just unknown whether this Human Emperor Banner is the same as that broken flagpole.

Zhang Ze, thinking about the matter of the Human Emperor Banner, inevitably thought of Xiao Teng, who was now detained bare-bottomed at Prisoner Mountain in the Sword Sect.

And the nearly ruined Hundred Demons Sect.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xiao Qingyun, feeling that indeed offspring have their own troubles.

Xiao Qingyun said, "Brother Zhang, why are you looking at me?"

Zhang Ze answered, "Nothing, just admiring how handsome you are."

Xiao Qingyun, "..."

...

Because they hadn’t traveled far, the group soon arrived before a grand hall.

The hall was elegantly furnished, with an ancient charm, and not a sign of decay.

Once inside, they seated themselves according to rank and guest status.

The Patriarch Xiao and the Celestial Sect Leader, in the guise of a little girl, sat at the head.

The other participants found suitable seats based on their strength and cultivation.

Xiao Qingyun naturally stood behind his father, serving by his side.

As for Zhang Ze, having been at the back of the group with Xiao Qingyun, by the time he entered, only a few seats at the end were left.

However, Zhang Ze didn’t mind and casually picked an empty seat to sit down.

"You, you want to sit next to me?"

But as soon as Zhang Ze sat down, a voice whispered anxiously beside him.

Turning his head, he saw a man in a padded robe, seemingly middle-aged, with a head full of silver hair.

Zhang Ze felt perplexed, "Can’t I sit here?"

"Ah, that’s not what I meant. I mean... I’m of the Demon Race," the silver-haired man said.

Zhang Ze frowned, thinking that a demon is just a demon; he’s seen plenty at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

"Right, which clan are you from? Is there some special custom that no one can sit beside you?"

"No, you’re welcome to sit here." The silver-haired man nodded but still looked uneasy.

Zhang Ze noticed the man’s large hands fidgeting nervously and suddenly understood.

Demon Race members in the era of the Ten Kingdoms were mostly pests.

The chaos of the Ten Kingdoms was partly due to the actions of the Demon Race.

To the Human Race, they were plagues walking in human skin, sinister beings.

The Demon beside Zhang Ze and types like Bai Xiaosheng probably are the exceptions among the Demon Race in this era.

According to memories derived from the journal, Bai Xiaosheng, the fox-headed military advisor of the Golden Core Lord, spent a long time and hunted down many misbehaving demons before the citizens accepted him as one of them.

During this difficult process, the Golden Core Lord’s reputation and prestige were crucial.

Without the Golden Core Lord, Bai Xiaosheng would merely be seen as engaging in internal strife, black against black.

No wonder when Zhang Ze asked him to join, Bai Xiaosheng flatly refused.

Looking at the silver-haired Demon beside him, Zhang Ze was reminded of something else.

Namely, the transformation of the Demon Race, how they went from sinister pests to fun-loving beings.

Zhang Ze had asked familiar Demon Race members about this development, but none claimed to know.

"Perhaps it’s because they grew up and matured," Bai Tao had said.

The Dongqi historical records offer no detailed explanation on this matter.

It only briefly states that Taizu unified the world, sympathized with the Four Continents’ hardship, sought eternal peace for the Human Race, drove the Demon Race into the Northern Territory, and imprisoned them forever.

After that, there is nothing, with only some sporadic records mixed in various biographies.

Mostly accounts of the Demon-slaying Bureau killing a Great Demon in a certain year at a certain place, driving a number of Demons into the Northern Territory, and similar records.

Moreover, such records become increasingly scarce over time.

Recalling the participants Xiao Qingyun mentioned for the alliance meeting, Zhang Ze remembered a faction called the Liushan Wolf Race, Wang Family.

They resided in Liushan, a mixed community of several small Demon clans led by the White Wolf King.

In some ways, it was like another White Jade County, just in a worse state. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Probably for this reason, he was here to seek an alliance and find a supportive backer.

...

Zhang Ze glanced up, seeing Patriarch Xiao still engaged in polite exchanges with a few cultivators, without discussing the alliance or the Human Emperor Banner. Feeling tedious and dull, he used sound transmission to chat with the old Wolf King beside him.

Checking if he could learn about the reason behind the Demon Race’s divine-demonic transition.

Thanks to Zhang Ze’s conversational skills, easy-going nature, and the fact that the old Wolf King had never received such amicable treatment, the two were soon engaged in conversation.
