Chapter 487: A Huge Conspiracy
Wang Liang Demon Human? Remnant?
Could it be that there’s a new City Master in Luo Yang City and Wang Liang’s power has been overturned?
Zhang Mu was caught off guard, but people had already gathered around. He decisively used an illusion spell to grab the innkeeper trying to leave him, and turned into a dark alley.
“Where is the remains of Wang Liang!”
A guard heard the sound and rushed over first, with beginner level power, but the surrounding merchants looked confused. Zhang Mu created an illusion for them, making them think they heard another sentence.
A waiter looking confusedly at the guard said, “What remains of Wang Liang? Just now it sounded like Qi Yu was cursing Wang Liang again and saying that even if there are remains, he will catch him.”
“Yes, that Qi Yu, always making a fuss, relying on his voice to steal business.”
“Hmm, where is Qi Yu?”
“Seems like after he finished cursing, he felt relieved and went to the restroom.”
The guard looked doubtful, he clearly heard that remains of Wang Liang Demon Human appeared, but now everyone’s unified response made him doubt if he misheard.
Could it be that he has been on duty for too long and is hearing illusions?
The guard shook his head, returned to guard the entrance of the Era Channel.
At that moment, Qi Yu woke up and said to Zhang Mu, “Don’t come closer, I didn’t kill Wang Liang. His death has nothing to do with me, don’t come any closer.”
Wang Liang is dead?
The news of Wang Liang’s death struck Zhang Mu’s mind like a bolt of lightning.
How is that possible?
Even though his talent wasn’t outstanding, as the ruler of a city back then, he should have had significant resources.
With the accumulation of a large number of evolutionary resources, Wang Liang, with his abilities, should have advanced to at least the fourth rank now and entered the Era Battlefield to fight for humanity.
“How did Wang Liang die?”
A deep voice slowly emerged from Zhang Mu’s throat, saying that he and Wang Liang had a cooperative relationship, but he was also a friend he greatly admired.
What has happened in these past two and a half years!
Qi Yu kept moving back towards the corner, feeling Zhang Mu’s strong desire to harm him. Just as he was about to scream, Zhang Mu used his powerful presence to silence him before he could make a sound.
Qi Yu now looked like a puppet, staring blankly at Zhang Mu across from him.
Zhang Mu urgently needed to know the truth of the matter; he wanted to understand why Wang Liang died!
“Tell me, how did Wang Liang die?” Zhang Mu asked, grabbing Qi Yu by the neck.
Even though Qi Yu was struggling to catch his breath, he didn’t feel any pain in his body. He managed to speak, but it was unclear. Zhang Mu had to let him go.
“Wang Liang, he committed suicide.”
Upon hearing that Wang Liang had died by suicide, Zhang Mu took a deep breath, calmed himself, regained his composure, and began questioning the unassuming second-rank evolver in front of him.
“What is your name? What do you know about Wang Liang’s situation? Did you witness it yourself? Is it true?”
Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s questions, Qi Yu quickly responded, “My name is Qi Yu, I work at the Great Fortune Inn. I saw half of what happened to Wang Liang with my own eyes and heard the other half from others. But these are all the crimes of Demon Human Wang Liang, known by the whole Luo Yang City, so it must all be true.”
“Tell me everything you know in detail, don’t leave out any details.”
“Okay.”
Qi Yu is recalling his memories and speaking very quickly.
“Wang Liang has always been the City Master of Luo Yang City, protecting the human cities nearby. However, he committed an unforgivable crime and eventually chose to die to atone for it.”
Always the City Master of Luo Yang City?
So, it’s not because his power was overthrown, but what kind of crime must a city lord commit to choose to die as a way to solve the problem? And it seems like his people haven’t forgiven him yet.
“What crime did he commit?”
Qi Yu slowly said something that surprised Zhang Mu, leaving him stunned in place.
“He committed adultery and betrayed his people by colluding with the Demoness Moon Queen of the demonic beast clan!”
Thinking of this memory made Qi Yu very emotional and his voice became angry.
With memories from future lives, Zhang Mu instantly understood what had happened. It was common for humans to reject other species before the racial conflicts began. Naturally, there were also humans attracted to beings of other species.
Zhang Mu’s expression turned dark. “Are you trying to force a city lord to die as punishment? Wang Liang isn’t someone who would do that to others, right? Keep talking, tell me everything about Wang Liang’s major events from two years ago.”
“Alright, about two years ago, Wang Liang completely took control of Luo Yang City and nearby cities. Under his strong leadership, the area centered around Luo Yang City became very stable. There was no more fear of attacks from mutated beasts, and humans were reclaiming more territory gradually.
Everything was slowly getting better, our hopes for life were improving. But the good times didn’t last long. About one and a half years ago, three unknown powerful individuals arrived in Luo Yang City. They negotiated with the high-ranking human evolvers led by Wang Liang.
It was later revealed that these three strangers were actually three mutated beasts who had reached the third-rank, allowing them to disguise themselves as humans. They were just as intelligent as humans, if not more so.”
Demons negotiating with humans!
Zhang Mu from the future had never heard of this event before, it must have been something new.
“Among those three unknown demon race individuals, did one of them happen to be the Demoness Moon Queen you mentioned earlier?”
Qi Yu felt intimidated by Zhang Mu’s strong presence, but he managed to regain his calm tone and speak without showing personal emotions.
“Yes, she is the only female demon in there.”
Their purpose for coming to Luo Yang City was to discuss peaceful coexistence with Wang Liang. They believed that when mutant beasts reached the peak of the second-rank, they could gradually transform into human form. After reaching the third-rank, they could fully transform into humans and get rid of their beastly nature.
They defined mutant beasts at the peak of the second-rank with calm willpower and enhanced intelligence as the demon race, separating them from other mutant beasts.
Their goal was for humans to recognize them as a new tribe, one that could communicate and cooperate with humans.
They came with peaceful intentions, as Luo Yang City needed time to recover from constant battles. Wang Liang agreed, on the condition that neither humans nor the demon race would harm each other’s people.
However, mutant beasts below the peak strength of the second-rank still had aggressive tendencies. They could not be controlled to stop attacking humans. Therefore, these mutant beasts were not included in the agreement.
Wang Liang was not concerned at the time because the most significant threat to his army came from high-level mutant beasts. Since the enemy was willing to cease hostilities and did not restrict them from hunting low-level mutant beasts that could not control their aggression.
Over the following year, people went from being wary to engaging in free trade, accepting the presence of some half-beast, half-human beings moving around human territories.
Some beautiful women from the demon race and strong men from the demon race, because of their exotic charm and normal intelligence, have caught the eye of many high-level evolvers. They secretly interact with each other, and the official power of Luo Yang City turns a blind eye, silently allowing this behavior to exist.
Since they are high-level evolvers, it doesn’t concern us. We can only admire them from afar.
Wang Liang couldn’t resist the temptation and openly started dating the third-rank early stage Demoness Moon Queen.
Qi Yu’s voice started trembling as he spoke, even Zhang Mu’s spiritual pressure decreased significantly.
“But, all of this is a conspiracy!
It’s all part of a huge conspiracy by the so-called demon race!
Wang Liang’s foolishness has harmed Luo Yang City! It has harmed humanity!”
