Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Many years ago, at the request of the demon race, the human race began sending people to the demon race.

Initially, the human race did not restrict its members from going to the demon race. Once they went to the demon race, they could cultivate wherever they wanted.

However, when Jiang Yuan learned of this, he felt it was a waste of time and simply a way to supply talent to the demon race. Therefore, he took it upon himself to strictly order those clansmen who went to the demon race to stay in Cangtian to cultivate.

So far, his order has been carried out well. The clansmen subsequently sent to the demon race have indeed stayed obediently in Cangtian.

The evidence is that they are all now standing before Jiang Yuan. On the contrary, less than one percent of the clansmen who were previously sent to the demon race have come.

Why are so many people not showing up?

After glancing at the list given by Emperor Sui and comparing it with the list given by the visitor, Jiang Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Those who didn't come mostly perished. A very small number simply didn't receive the news, but the rest have likely joined the demon race and no longer wish to obey the orders of the human race."

Among the first people sent to the demon race, there was one named "Zhong".

Just as its name suggests, Zhong is utterly loyal to the human race. Even after being sent to the demon realm and witnessing their prosperity, he remained unswayed. Instead, he became even more loyal, constantly striving to improve his cultivation so he could return and serve the human race as soon as possible.

With his personality, he naturally looked down on those of his race who had been seduced by the demon race and chose to abandon their human identity to join the demon race.

Therefore, after hearing Jiang Yuan inquire about their situation, they had no intention of hiding anything and told the truth directly.

"Did you leave your name on the demon-summoning banner?"

Jiang Yuan pressed further, asking, "Even within the demon race, there are different ranks. Apart from the direct descendants of Xi Huang, Nuwa, and Kunpeng, those demons who didn't leave their names on the Demon Summoning Banner are ranked one rank lower than those who did."

They can't even be considered demons; they can be understood as slaves of demons.

"Few are able to leave their names behind; most people don't even qualify to do so," Zhong said, sharing what he knew.

"Those who did not leave their names on the demon-summoning banner, find a way to capture them and send them back to their clans as slaves."

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then said.

Since they enjoy being slaves, let them be slaves to their heart's content. Sending them back to the human race as slaves is a way of making use of them.

"Those who left their names on the demon-summoning banner are not easy to deal with. But we can't let them off easy either. We should send someone to notify them and make them return their physical bodies to settle their karmic debts with the human race."

"Otherwise, I would have to lead the elite troops of the Azure Heaven to visit them one by one."

After dealing with those clansmen who aspired to join the demon race, Jiang Yuan continued to crack down on those clansmen who had already joined the demon race.

Humans are composed of two parts: the physical body and the soul. The physical body is conceived from the essence and blood of the parents, while the soul is bestowed by heaven and earth.

Therefore, among humans, only the soul truly belongs to oneself. If you wish to betray your race, leave your physical body behind first.

"this……"

Will they agree?

Zhong swallowed hard and said uncertainly.

Those who did not join the demon race are easy to deal with, because their strength is generally not strong, otherwise they would not have been rejected by the demon race.

Those who have already joined the demon race are all exceptionally talented, with most possessing the cultivation level of a late-stage Celestial Immortal. The strongest among them have already stepped one foot into the Taiyi realm.

They would never agree to relinquish their physical bodies. After all, they cultivate methods that allow them to revert to their ancestral bloodlines, and the majority of their foundation rests in their physical bodies.

Without a physical body, not only would their strength be reduced by 70-80%, but their talent would also be diminished. At that point, they wouldn't be able to advance any further; simply maintaining their current cultivation level would be considered a success.

Therefore, they would definitely not agree to Jiang Yuan's request. Although it was not a matter of taking their lives, it was a matter of severing their roots.

"They have no choice but to agree!"

Jiang Yuan sneered, "They're just a bunch of traitors. They have no backing in the demon race. With a single order from me, they can make them wish they were dead."

Zhong wanted to persuade Jiang Yuan again, but when he thought of Jiang Yuan's status, he stopped talking.

Indeed, as the grand-nephew of Emperor Xi, it would be too easy for Jiang Yuan to deal with those traitors; it would basically be a matter of a single sentence.

"Let's put those traitors aside for now. Tell me about your experiences in the demon realm, and who bullied you."

"Also, how did those clansmen who lost their lives die? Let's hope they weren't eaten by the demons."

After discussing the matter of the traitor, Jiang Yuan began to ask about everyone's experiences in the demon race, mainly asking if they had been bullied and if any demons had secretly eaten people.

Both of these points are important. Although the human race is a weak race, they are still descendants of saints. Coming to the demon race for training is giving the demon race face. It's one thing if you don't treat them well, but you dare to bully them and even secretly eat people.

What kind of behavior is this?

This is an heinous crime! Unforgivable!

They completely disregarded the sages; these are no ordinary demons, but demons among demons. We must strike hard and send them all into the Demon Refining Pot to atone for their sins.

"Being bullied is inevitable, since our cultivation level is low. As for cannibalism, it does happen, but not often; it includes birds, beasts, and scaled creatures."

"However, I think the reason why there aren't many man-eating demons is not because the other demon races don't want to, but because there are too few of them. They dare not eat too much, for fear of attracting the attention of Emperor Xi."

"If more people come, they'll probably eat as much as they want."

"I deduced this from information circulating within the demon race. Some demons claim that eating humans can rapidly increase one's cultivation level."

Zhong said with a solemn expression, "As more and more humans arrive, the situation of humans among the demon race is becoming increasingly precarious."

In the past, when there were fewer people, the absence of any one person would attract a lot of attention. But now that there are more people, unless there are a large number of casualties at once, the occasional absence of a few people will not attract any attention at all.

This is why some daring demons dare to attack humans, using cannibalism to increase their cultivation.

"Write down the names of all the demons who bullied you, and those who ate people. If I get the chance in the future, I will take my revenge on them one by one."

After listening to everyone's stories, Jiang Yuan gave them paper and pens and told them to write down the names of all their enemies so that he could take revenge.

As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Jiang Yuan is a reasonable person. Even if he wants to target the demon race, he won't target all demons. He will only target those who have a grudge against him and the human race.

This is called having a legitimate reason for a fight, which aims to emphasize that one is in the right. This way, even if trouble arises later, it can be said that there is a reason for the trouble, and the matter can be minimized or resolved peacefully.

It was clear that everyone had been holding back for a long time; they had finished writing the list not long after Jiang Yuan finished speaking.

When Jiang Yuan took a look, his expression suddenly turned strange.

He recognized the demons on the list; they all looked familiar and tasted good, as he had seen them on the dinner table in his later years.
