Chapter 851: Chapter 274: Blood and Flesh Temple Transforms Shannan Prefecture! Jing Dynasty Shocked, Demon God Department’s Demon King Descends!

As soon as he stepped into the territory of Shannan Prefecture, Gu Luo sensed something was wrong.

"Hmm?"

"The aura around these people isn’t right."

"Could they be the ’blood descendants’ mentioned in the intelligence?"

Gu Luo looked curiously at the group of villagers around him.

They were truly just villagers.

These villagers were different from the usual impoverished ones.

They weren’t gaunt and frail; instead, they were all broad-shouldered and strong, with rosy cheeks.

At the moment, they were plowing the fields.

Moreover, they didn’t use oxen; these villagers themselves acted as "plow beasts" to work in the fields.

Each had immense strength.

Even more useful than oxen.

Some villagers could even venture into the mountains to hunt.

They returned with bountiful game.

In addition, there were organizations to irrigate the canals, and the seedlings grew beautifully.

With this scene, one could easily see that this year was destined to be a bountiful harvest.

Even the eyes of these villagers shone with a glimmer of "hope."

Gu Luo was not detached from the world.

Although he was a half-demon, his humanity overshadowed his demon nature.

Thus, he always considered himself human.

The half-demons of the Demon God Department were the same.

They all considered themselves human.

Their way of thinking was also human.

He had come from Jingdu, where the people were extremely impoverished and famine was rampant.

Only upon reaching Shannan Prefecture did he see a different scene.

"Smack."

At this moment, a child fell to the ground.

His teeth were knocked out.

His hands were covered in blood.

Gu Luo almost stepped forward immediately to help the child up.

Seeing the child’s serious injuries, he was about to take the child to see a doctor immediately.

"Where is your village physician?"

Gu Luo asked.

"Physician?"

"I don’t see a physician. This injury is nothing; it will be completely healed by tomorrow."

"Look, it’s not even bleeding anymore..."

The child said "seriously."

Gu Luo took a closer look.

Sure enough, the child’s wound had stopped bleeding.

The wound was even slowly healing.

Seeing this scene, Gu Luo’s heart trembled.

"This recovery speed... comparable to a True Demon!"

"No, it’s slower than a True Demon, but it’s already impressive. Even if it’s only half the recovery speed of a True Demon, it’s terrifying..."

Gu Luo’s eyes widened.

Obviously, this child was a "blood descendant," possessing extraordinary recovery power.

Moreover, being the Demon King,

he could clearly sense that the child’s aura was very peculiar.

Neither a demon nor entirely human.

It was a hybrid.

Or perhaps, a completely new aura.

"I’ll take you home; where do you live?"

Gu Luo asked.

The child replied, "My home is just ahead, at the east end of the village."

"Alright."

So, Gu Luo directly carried the child to the east end of the village.

However, just as Gu Luo put the child down, the child suddenly dashed into the crowd of villagers.

And shouted loudly, "Come quickly, catch the spy, there’s an imperial spy..."

As the child shouted, a multitude of villagers gathered immediately.

Each wielding hoes, sticks, nets, and the like.

All of them were robust and formidable-looking.

Gu Luo looked "darkly" at the child, frowning, "Kid, I carried you home, and you repay kindness with betrayal, calling me a spy?"

The child raised his chin and said, "You must be a spy. Clan Elder said that the Divine Hall issued an order. Any outsider must be captured and sent to the Divine Hall for punishment."

Gu Luo’s frown deepened.

"I’m not an outsider."

"No, you are an outsider."

"What makes you so sure I’m an outsider?"

"Because of your eyes. Look, anyone who is a blood descendant of the Divine Hall, whose eyes aren’t red? Only yours aren’t, so you must be an outsider, and a spy too."

The child stubbornly said.

Gu Luo fell silent.

He glanced at these villagers.

Indeed, all these villagers, regardless of gender or age, had red eyes, vastly different from his own.

At this time, an elder slowly approached, "Outsider, do not resist or struggle, or we’ll kill you."

"Actually, you needn’t be afraid. The Divine Hall’s order is to send all outsiders to the Divine Hall. If you’re not a spy, you might even turn misfortune into fortune, gaining the opportunity to become a blood descendant."

"It’s something many outsiders dream of. Lately, many outsiders have deliberately tried to become blood descendants this way."

Gu Luo was slightly stunned.

They’re coming to Shannan Prefecture specifically to become blood descendants?

However, Gu Luo immediately understood the reason.

Indeed, being a blood descendant had enormous advantages.

Look at these villagers, once emaciated and apathetic in despair, they would starve sooner or later.

But now, their lives are vibrant.

Not only were they well-fed, but even free from sickness.

Who wouldn’t want to become a blood descendant?

Gu Luo realized, seeing these villagers, that Shannan Prefecture was probably lost.

In just a few short months, under the governance of the Blood and Flesh Temple, Shannan Prefecture was thriving and orderly.

Even the lowest villagers actively captured "spies."

This shows how much they supported the Blood and Flesh Temple.

Under these circumstances, can the imperial take back Shannan Prefecture?

Even Gu Luo became somewhat intrigued by the Blood and Flesh Temple.

What kind of people could advance the Blood and Flesh Temple to this degree?

Something even the imperial could not achieve.

In truth, though these villagers were blood descendants, and there were many of them,

to Gu Luo, killing them would be a walk in the park.

Even if he wanted to escape, these villagers wouldn’t be able to stop him.

However, Gu Luo changed his mind.

He no longer wanted to run, but to be captured willingly.

Letting these villagers bind him and take him to the Blood and Flesh Temple.

He planned to use this chance to go to Shannan City directly.

He wanted to truly see what kind of person the "Ancestor" of the Blood and Flesh Temple was.

"Fine, I won’t resist. Go ahead."

So, Gu Luo yielded.

The villagers didn’t hesitate, directly tying Gu Luo up.

And they informed the Blood and Flesh Temple people overnight to escort Gu Luo away.

Soon, Gu Luo was taken to Shannan City.

And along the way, Gu Luo saw many villages.

All identical to the one he had seen before.

Even better!

Countless villagers had been transformed into blood descendants.

Fearless of sickness, possessing enormous strength, and with a safe environment ensured, agricultural production was secured too.

Almost every household was living a good life.

What rebel army is this?

This clearly looks like the "Royal Army"!

Suddenly, even Gu Luo, a "half-demon," felt a wavering.

Certain notions in his heart became shaky.

Should such a "rebel army" be killed?

With such thoughts, Gu Luo pondered all along the way, becoming more confused as he thought.

Finally, he was brought to the Blood and Flesh Temple in Shannan City.

Like Gu Luo, there were many "spies."

At least several hundred.

And the number kept growing daily.

Almost everyone, once determined not to be spies, would be converted into blood descendants.

Which could be seen as their wishes fulfilled.

In the end, it was Gu Luo’s turn.

One of the Bloodline Divine Guards of the Blood and Flesh Temple personally came to "examine."

However, before the Bloodline Divine Guard could act, Gu Luo exerted slight force.

"Crack."

The rope binding him snapped instantly.

With his hands behind his back, Gu Luo said calmly, "Gu Luo from the Demon God Department!"

"I don’t want to kill unnecessarily. Let your Ancestor come to see me."

Gu Luo naturally exuded the aura belonging to a "Demon King."

"Boom."

The terrifying aura swept across all directions in an instant.

Just the aura itself prevented the blood descendants from approaching.

Demon King!

This was a Demon King, surpassing a Great Demon!
