My Master Knows It All

Cao Zhen spoke more passionately, his voice growing louder as he continued: ”We abandoned them initially, but they still remember they are of the Human Clan. Now, although we claim that all races should coexist peacefully, you all should be aware that true peaceful coexistence is not achievable.

Internal conflicts among our own cultivators can arise over certain treasures, let alone defenseless mortals in the eyes of the cultivators.

They remain in the Central Continent, and it is uncertain when calamity may befall them due to an alien race seeking amusement. That’s why I want to bring them back.”

Cao Zhen paused slightly to restrain his outward emotions, then continued: ”Moreover, taking them back can gradually augment our strength. Among them, there might be someone exceptionally gifted who can eventually reach the Golden Immortal Realm.

But leaving them here, do not forget, we still have quite a few traitors within the Human Clan. If left in the Central Continent, any geniuses among them would likely be recruited by those human traitors, eventually becoming pawns of the Sky Clan and opposing us.

And the number of cultivators from the Human Clan is, after all, limited. Furthermore, many places still belong to the Demon Clan, Beast Clan, Prison Clan, and Insect Clan. So I ask you all for help in bringing these mortals back to our Four Continents.”

At these words from the Four Continents, a hint of unease appeared on the faces of the alien race cultivators. The territories they occupied were originally Human Clan lands. Now cooperating with the Human Clan while standing on others’ land was somewhat unreasonable, after all.

Yet, the lands they conquered could not simply be returned to the Human Clan.

These places were rich in resources and had numerous spiritually abundant mountain gates, all beneficial to them.

However, when it came to these mortals, they could indeed lend a hand.

A male cultivator from the Prison clan spoke first, without waiting for Immortal Lord Bai Bian to speak: ”Chief Cao, you are too polite. I will organize our experts from the Prison clan to transport the mortals within our territory back to the Eastern Province.”

They had no use for these mortals, even among them were children with exceptional cultivation talent. The Human Clan cannot cultivate using the Prison clan’s techniques.

Sending them back is fine.

Though sending these humans back might enhance the Human Clan’s power, given the current situation, they shouldn’t grow to a level that the allied races cannot withstand in the short term.

And as they are currently allies, a stronger ally is naturally preferable.

Seeing the response, Cao Zhen coughed and told the Human Clan experts from the other Three States: ”There’s no need to send all of them to our Eastern Province. You can also send them to the other three states, for our Eastern Province cannot accommodate so many mortals.”

The Prison clan’s cultivator continued: ”We are closer to your Eastern Province.”

”Oh, very well.” Cao Zhen then looked toward the experts of the other clans.

”Our Demon Clan will assist with the transportation.”

”Our Beast Clan has no issue as well, but we lack flying boats, so your Human Clan must send experts. Of course, our experts can provide protection along the way.”

”We from the Insect Clan cannot assist with transportation, your people can enter and take them from our lands.”

The other Three States’ cultivators, hearing Cao Zhen’s words, one after another bowed to him: ”Sect Leader Cao’s actions blesses the entire Human Clan.”

”This is a great benevolence.”

”Our Three States have no issues and can accept the mortals from the Central Continent.”

The more mortals, the more there are suitable for cultivation, allowing them to recruit more disciples, which is beneficial for them.

Cao Zhen once again bowed to the cultivators of each race: ”Thank you all so much.”

”Chief Cao, you don’t have to be so polite, we are all one family.” Immortal Lord Bai Bian said, a worried expression appearing on his face: ”Our clans are agreeable naturally, but as for the territories controlled by the Evil Clan and the Sky Clan, it is a different matter.

They will certainly not want these mortals to return to the Human Clan, and I’ve heard that the Sky Clan designated four locations for your traitors to establish their mountain gates, forming four Great Teachings.

They surely want those among the mortals suited for cultivation to join these four Great Teachings.”

A grave look appeared on Cao Zhen’s face, and he solemnly said: ”Therefore, what we need to do now is promptly enter the territories of the Evil Clan and Sky Clan to bring back our fellow humans.

Especially in the Evil Clan’s region and the Sky Clan’s region, where the Sky Clan might gather humans close to those traitorous mountain gates.

But, those from the Evil Clan are inherently cruel, and along the way, the most humans I saw slaughtered were by the Evil Clan.

Once they know we are starting to take the mortals away, they will certainly try to obstruct us, or even directly massacre the mortals in their domain.”

Cao Zhen contemplated for a moment and looked at the Sword Lord with a Three Talents on the side: ”Let us first enter the Evil Clan to rescue humans within, and the fellow Golden Immortals from the Three States...”

Before Cao Zhen could finish, the Golden Immortal Realm cultivators from the Three States spoke up: ”We’ll join you as well.”

”That’s right, as cultivators from the Central Continent, we abandoned them then; now it’s time for us to atone.”

”However, even if Chief Cao and Dao Companion of the Three Talents go, it’s still too few. If the Evil Clan forcibly obstructs us, two people may be in danger. We’ve already notified other experts from our state to come and transport other mortals.”
