Chapter 248: Hope of the Demon Race

Among the group of demons, a middle-aged man with a kind look asked with a hint of fear, "Excuse me, are you Jiang Yun, Senior Jiang?"

Upon hearing his name, Jiang Yun straightforwardly nodded and said, "I am honored by the senior title, but indeed, I am Jiang Yun!"

As Jiang Yun spoke, there was a loud "whoosh," and all the demon race beings in front of him knelt down before him.

"Senior Jiang, please save us!"

The sudden actions of the monsters made Jiang Yun freeze in shock for a while before coming back to his senses.

Although he suspected that these demons were not from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, Jiang Yun still stood there, frowning and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here? I’m worried this might be a trick."

The kind man hurriedly explained, "Senior Jiang, we are demon race who have been living in the North Mountain for a long time. Please, save us and help us leave the North Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun suddenly understood!

The current situation in the North Mountain was difficult because of the Boundary Sea’s invasion and the Ten Thousand Demons Cave’s ruthless behavior. The demon race living there faced hardships if they didn’t want to submit to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

The demon race before him, like the recently departed Snow clan, lived in hardship and refused to submit to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Moreover, they were somewhat different from the Snow clan.

The Snow clan had encountered a figure named Xue Mucheng and had the help of the sacred Li FireSnow Palace, making them stronger compared to the demon race.

They had successfully left the Mountain-Sea World and ventured into other worlds.

They were not only very weak as a group, but also had little strength.

Living in such chaotic times, there was simply no way to live as difficult as the Snow clan.

They had almost lost hope of surviving and leaving the North Mountain.

However, the recent major battle between the Snow clan and the Ten Thousand Demons Cave caught the attention of many demon races.

Especially with the appearance of the human cultivator, Jiang Yun.

Setting aside prejudices among the groups, Jiang Yun’s heroic deeds in protecting the Snow clan and repeatedly defeating the powerful demons of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave were widely spread.

These news immediately ignited hope in the hearts of the demon races.

They began to arrive from all directions of the North Mountain, gathering in the area where the Snow clan used to live, in search of Jiang Yun.

Their goal was naturally to hope that Jiang Yun could help them escape their own hardships as he did for the Snow clan.

I have to say, it was quite a coincidence that they arrived.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Yun being delayed for over a month in the ice cave, he would have already been in Heavenly Pill City, causing their last hope to be shattered.

After understanding the intentions and purposes of these people, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh!

Initially, he helped the Snow clan because he thought of Jiang village and felt very sorry for the Snow clan’s situation.

However, he never imagined that his actions would make him, a human, become the hope for these weak demon races within North Mountain.

Although he really wanted to help them, he had important matters to attend to now and couldn’t afford to delay any longer.

Moreover, the Snow clan at least had a teleportation array to move away on their own, but these demon races surely had no means to leave.

If he were to agree to help them, it would mean taking them out of North Mountain!

Not only is the time needed unimaginable, but on this journey, the Ten Thousand Demons Cave will not spare him!

The most important thing is that I’m not as strong as they think I am.

Maybe they know they defeated Huo Duming, almost killed Dao Spirit Jin Yifei, and even buried Earth Protection Realm Xue Ranyi in the snow.

But in reality, that isn’t my true strength, it’s from the power of Taoist Demon Hun Tian and Xue Mucheng.

And now, I can’t rely on those powers anymore.

With just my Blessed Land cultivation level, my strength is at most equal to someone at the fifth or sixth level.

Not to mention facing the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, some of these demon races before me are stronger than me.

Jiang Yun looked at the hopeful faces in front of him and wore a bitter smile.

After a brief moment of silence, a message appeared above Jiang Yun’s head, "I really want to help you all, but I am unable to!"

"You have seen it too, this is my true cultivation level, I am not as strong as you think, and cannot help you leave North Mountain."

However, even though Jiang Yun revealed his true level of power, the nearly hundred demon race beings kneeling on the ground showed no intention to rise up.

The kind man took out a ring from his pocket and said, "Senior, this is all the treasures of our clan. Though they may not be worth much, it represents everything our clan has. We are willing to offer it as a token and ask for your protection."

Following the man’s actions, over ten people among the hundred demon race beings took out various storage devices from their pockets, raised them high, and spoke similar words.

Jiang Yun, looking at the storage devices in their hands, showed a surprised expression and asked, "You all are not from the same clan?"

The kind man shook his head and said, "No, we have a total of eighteen clans here! We are just the stronger members from our respective clans, entrusted by our people to specifically come and find Senior Jiang."

Jiang Yun was once again taken aback.

He had originally thought that these nearly hundred demon race beings, even if not from the same clan, would at most come from three or five clans combined.

Never did he imagine there were a total of eighteen clans.

If each clan was like the Snow clan, with nearly a thousand members, then this number…

Jiang Yun furrowed his brow and asked, "Where are the rest of your people?"

"They are scattered around, hiding," she replied.

"Take me to see them!" Jiang Yun requested.

"Yes, yes!" The gentle giant nodded as he handed a ring to Jiang Yun, saying, "Senior Jiang, please keep this for now!"

"You keep it for now. If I need it, I will come to you," Jiang Yun responded.

Jiang Yun’s words made the gentle giant look a bit disappointed, but he didn’t say anything more.

After storing the ring, the giant and the other demon race members quickly stood up and led the way ahead.

Jiang Yun silently followed behind them.

After an entire night, guided by nearly a hundred demon race members, Jiang Yun visited a total of eighteen places and met the remaining members of these eighteen clans.

After watching it, Jiang Yun became even quieter!

Because, these eighteen groups of people from different clans, when added together, amounted to over ten thousand!

Jiang Yun didn’t know that while he was silent, Bai Ze inside the Demon Refining Pen was magnifying his divine thought to cover all these demons as much as possible.

At the next moment, Bai Ze suddenly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from screaming out loud!

But in his heart, he was already screaming madly, "Impossible, impossible, how can this be!"

"Could it be that this Jiang Yun is the reincarnation of the legendary Dao God!"

"Otherwise, how could he have such unbelievably good luck!"
