If he didnt see or experienced all that himself, Yan Liqiang wouldve never believed it. Yan Liqiang always thought the so-called demons were those people who had evil hearts. He never thought that other than humans, there really were nonhuman races. This was too shocking.

Hearing this, Yan Liqiang didnt say anything for a full minute. He was digesting this information.

Then why can Lin Qingtian morph into a human?

Thats the power of demons. You cultivated Thousand-Face Divine Technique and you can change your appearance. Meanwhile, all demons can naturally change their appearance to deceive people!

If Lin Qingtian is a demon, does that mean the Lin family of Yun Province are also demons?

No! Cui Lichen shook his head, The real Lin Qingtian probably died many years ago. He was killed by that demon and then the demon took Lin Qingtians form. Then, he showed all those capabilities and steadily became the Grand Chancellor!

Yan Liqiang frowned, Since Lin Qingtian isnt dead, doesnt that mean he can still morph into a person and cause chaos?!

Although he wasnt killed that day, we injured him heavily. I sliced off his arm, so he wont be able to recover in a short while. His arm cant regenerate either. If he morphed into a human, he would be missing an arm. Thats his weakness!

I dont get it. Since Lin Qingtian didnt die that day and no one saw his body and no third person saw his demonic form, why did the Emperor dare to announce Lin Qingtians death? He started cleaning up Lin Qingtians faction. Why is the Emperor certain that Lin Qingtian wouldnt come back? Yan Liqiang thought about it and only thought of one possibility so he asked, Did you already tell His Majesty before you attacked?

How could you tell someone about this? With one extra person knowing, that would be one extra chance at failing! Cui Lichen shook his head.

But I feel like His Majesty seems to know!

As the Emperor of the Great Han Empire, of course he knows some things that ordinary people dont know. Other people might not know the meaning of our existence, but the Great Han Empire royals definitely know. We dont usually attack, but if we do, we target the demons. We dont stop until we kill them. An ancestral message would be passed down. Even if the Emperor didnt know Lin Qingtian was a demon, he probably knows now after what happened that night!

Yan Liqiang was shaken and he opened his eyes wide, Youre saying that His Majesty and the royal bloodline know of the demons existence?

Of course! Cui Lichen nodded. The ancestor of our Jade Luo Palace once showed the ancestor of the Great Han Empire compelling evidence of the demons existence. He let them see the demons after they were killed. The Emperor of the Great Han Empire would definitely know.

Huh. Then why doesnt the royal bloodline announce this to the public? Yan Liqiang asked but then he immediately woke up. This question was too immature. If the ruling class let the citizens know everything, they wouldnt be the ruling class.

The best way to maintain authority was making the citizens live and die in ignorance, believing whatever the officials said. If the citizens knew everything and there were too many smart people, they would be hard to fool.

It seems you already understand this problem! Cui Lichen nodded after seeing Yan Liqiangs face change. He drank some more tea, Not just the royal family, but even Jade Luo Palace doesnt want to publicize this because publicizing it wont reduce the number of demons nor help us find them. Instead, it would cause mass chaos and disruption. Evil people would utilize this. Therefore, very few people know about this secret!

Senior just said that those demons are from another realm and your sect has been fighting with them for a few hundred years. I want to ask how your sect knows theyre from another realm and how did Senior know that Lin Qingtian is a demon?

These two things are the secrets of Jade Luo Palace, I cant tell you! Cui Lichen shook his head, If you want to know, then theres only one way and thats to join Jade Luo Palace. Only one of us can know these secrets!

Huh? Join Jade Luo Palace? Yan Liqiang felt dazed, Are you joking, Senior?

Of course not. While you were escorting me off, I was observing you. I found that your characteristics, whether in terms in integrity, mindset, or capabilities, are all suitable for joining Jade Luo Palace. You might as well think about it!

Yan Liqiang thought for a moment, Then may I ask Senior what I need to do if I join?

You dont need to do anything. You just need to protect the secret and not disclose it. At the same time, remember the responsibility of Jade Luo Palace to annihilate demons. For as long as you live, you must protect the human race and kill demons!

Its that simple? Yan Liqiang blinked.

Of course! Jade Luo Palace does extraordinary things so we need extraordinary people. Therefore, there arent that many rules!

Yan Liqiang rubbed his face, Protecting the human race. This responsibility is so heavy, Im afraid I might not be able to do it!

What does that mean? Arent you already doing it? Killing demons is protecting the human race! Cui Lichen sighed, The Silver Continent is enveloped in danger, theres already the premonition that the disaster of the human race is impending

Senior, isnt Lin Qingtian already heavily injured and does not dare to reveal himself?

Do you think Lin Qingtian is the only demon? Do you think only the Great Han Empire has demons?

Ah is there more than one demon? Yan Liqiang asked in shock.

Cui Lichen nodded seriously
