Chapter 910: Chapter 910 - 457: Fate Is Watching Over Him
"They’re actually imprisoning human cultivators? What’s the reason behind this?"
Jiang Fan furrowed his brows.
He felt quite curious about this.
After all, humans to demons are nothing more than food, similar to spirit medicine.
After consuming them, they enhance a demon’s power.
Typically, when demons capture humans, they eat them directly, not locking them up at all.
Yet, there is a prison for humans within the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, which is truly baffling.
There must be a peculiar reason for this.
"It seems this human prison is the method to unravel the situation."
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.
Clearly, it’s not easy to approach the Demon Hall right now.
The place is filled with countless restrictions.
Even with the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, it’s hard to evade those powerful demons.
If he could truly release that group of human cultivators, he could likely use their strength to sabotage the Cyan Stone Demon Cave.
Whoosh!
At that thought, Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate and immediately flew towards the human prison.
Guided by fate’s hint, he soon found the prison’s location.
The prison was situated in a remote corner of the demon city.
Without being familiar with the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, it would be quite difficult to find it.
Before Jiang Fan appeared a huge underground facility.
The deep cavern entrance extended to unknown depths underground.
Surrounding the entrance stood demon guards, all of Divinity Transformation level.
However, clearly, these demon guards were dozing off, seeming very bored.
This situation was quite normal.
Since the establishment of this human prison, there has not been any incident.
No human cultivator has escaped from it.
Nor has there been anyone attempting a prison break.
Gradually, the demon guards stationed here naturally became less vigilant.
Each one was lazily fulfilling their duty.
"Sigh, I can’t believe we’re so unlucky, being assigned to guard this human prison."
"I say, it would be better to deal with these human cultivators rather than imprisoning them."
"Doing this is a pure waste of resources."
An angry red demon guard spoke.
It believed it was unnecessary to imprison these human cultivators and it would be better to eat them directly.
Not only would it save a lot of manpower and resources, but it would also enhance the demons’ cultivation.
Imprisoning these human cultivators is purely thankless labor.
"Heh, you know nothing."
"These human cultivators cannot die. If even one of them dies, the higher-ups will hold us accountable."
"Perhaps you don’t know, the identities of these cultivators within the Great Xuan Dynasty have been replaced by demons."
"If they die, those spies who infiltrated the Great Xuan Dynasty might be exposed."
"Then it would ruin the grand plan of our demons."
Another blue demon guard sneered.
It explained the importance of their duties.
If the human cultivators imprisoned here died, the demons’ years of infiltration plans would all be for nothing.
"The identities of these human cultivators have been replaced?"
"How did they achieve this?"
Hearing this, the red demon guard was shocked.
"It’s not a big deal."
"Over the years, we demons have laid traps and drafted elaborate plans."
"Then captured these high-status human cultivators."
"Following that, we demons replaced their identities and appeared openly within the Great Xuan Dynasty."
"Because of this, over the years, the demons’ plans have been executed smoothly, allowing them to quietly establish numerous demon caves within the territory of the Great Xuan Dynasty."
The blue demon guard said proudly.
This is something every demon prison guard knows.
Only its companion beside it is newly appointed and unfamiliar with this human prison.
But it doesn’t mind explaining to its companion.
After all, if an accident truly occurs, it too cannot avoid responsibility.
"Brilliant, truly brilliant."
"Previously, I wondered why our demons’ plans were progressing so smoothly. So, there were these insiders?"
"The Great Xuan Dynasty might not even know there are already many demon traitors within their ranks."
The red demon guard came to a realization.
It admired the wisdom of those high-level demons, realizing they were not just brute forces.
When it comes to plotting and scheming, how could mere humans compare to our demons?
They can only meet their demise at our hands.
"Now you also understand why the human cultivators imprisoned here cannot die, right?"
"These human cultivators are all high-status and have left life tokens within the Great Xuan Dynasty."
"If they die, wouldn’t it immediately expose the demon traitors?"
"Therefore, these human cultivators mustn’t die under any circumstances."
"We must even prevent them from committing suicide."
The blue demon guard said sinisterly.
"I see."
The red demon nodded.
It also understood the importance of this prison.
Though this place may not have much to offer, it concerns the future outcome of the demon war.
If problems truly occur with the human cultivators inside, they might find themselves in deep trouble.
It’s no wonder other demons were gleefully scoffing upon learning they were appointed as guards here.
After all, becoming a guard here doesn’t bring much benefit, but if something really goes wrong, they’ll be punished, a typical position with great responsibility but little reward.
