Chapter 1078 - Sending the Right Signal (1/2)
The envoys of the other sects that had originally fallen silent started to whisper once again. Nobody could believe that the Chun Feng Sect would actually be daring enough to imprison somebody of the dragon race as well. Most likely, everything else was also true then. Who knew what had been going on in their heads that they would actually think about doing something like this?
While everybody else already believed what Xiang Yong had said without any reservations, the people of the Chun Feng Sect were a different matter altogether. Liu Cheng stared at Xiang Yong with his brows furrowed. ”This can't be! You must've gotten it wrong.”
Xiang Yong turned around and raised a brow. ”I must've gotten it wrong? What would make you say so?”
”The people we imprison are all of demonic descend. We wouldn't imprison a dragon.”
Xiang Yong looked him up and down and then slowly walked over, folding his hands behind his back.
Liu Cheng tensed up, unsure what this man wanted to do. He was just saying the truth!
”You're just imprisoning people of the demon race, yes? Then answer me this: How do you know that somebody is a demon?” He stopped a few steps away from Liu Cheng and lightly tilted his head.
”Well, it is often obvious at first glance.”
”Oh?” Xiang Yong reached up, his fingers brushing through his gray hair. ”You mean that looking at me, you also feel that I deserve to be thrown into your dungeon?”
Liu Cheng drew his brows together and couldn't help but take a closer look at this man. Yes, looking at him, he indeed seemed distinctly nonhuman. That definitely couldn't be denied. But he was obviously of the dragon race. They had seen him shift into this appearance from that of a dragon, after all. ”While it is true that you can see at one glance that somebody isn't human, determining whether that person is actually related to the demon race naturally has a few more steps. If there was a suspicion, then we would do a test.”
Xiang Yong still didn't seem convinced that the Chun Feng Sect was actually able to do what they said. ”A test? Then what kind of test might that be?”
Liu Cheng's expression eased slightly at that question. As expected, the people of the dragon race weren't like those of the other cultivation sects. While there had been a misunderstanding previously that made them unhappy, they were still willing to talk it out for the sake of getting rid of all those demons.
”Well, as you certainly know, the bodies of demons are different from ours. Because they are a great evil, even the world itself has brought something into existence that can help with eradicating them. The demon-hunting sects of the mortal world have managed to refine these materials into weapons and items that can be used to either kill the demons directly or imprison them somewhere and slowly sap them of their strength.
