I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 753 Changcao Academy
Zhang Chen couldn't believe that Chen Sanliang would say such vicious and deadly words.

"How could the news I brought be false? The entire Jiangnan Road is in an uproar now, countless scholars are talking about it, and the people are also in panic." Huang Chao said.

Zhang Chen calmed himself down and asked after a long while, "What happened?"

"It's all because of the 'Changcao Academy' in Lishe Country!" Huang Chao's voice was full of complaints:
"The incident started at the Changcao Academy in Lishe State. The Changcao Academy in Lishe State is the largest academy in Lishe State. This morning, when the dean was discussing with Chen Sanliang, he used Han Suzhen as a flaw and used Han Suzhen as a means of attack, which angered Chen Sanliang. However, Chen Sanliang still forced himself to remain calm and refuted the dean, who failed. However, after the dean failed, he was unwilling to submit to Chen Sanliang and insulted Chen Sanliang's wife. Chen Sanliang was furious when he heard this. He ignored the surrender of 600 students in the academy and killed all the scholars. All of them were killed by Chen Sanliang, and the entire Lishe Kingdom was destroyed. This move shocked the entire academy in Jiangnan that had not yet fallen, so the major academies were excited and mobilized their forces to sacrifice Zhou Qiucheng, wanting to help Zhou Qiucheng step into the twelfth level of the Shinto and fight Chen Sanliang to the death. Some scholars even wrote articles directly denouncing Han Suzhen, saying that Han Suzhen and Chen Sanliang eloped and other dirty words, which completely angered Chen Sanliang. Chen Sanliang was furious and said that he wanted to exterminate the entire cultural context of Jiangnan. "Huang Chao's voice was full of shock.

"Chen Sanliang's action violated a taboo. Those six hundred scholars were all from powerful families, and behind them were entangled with major forces in the world and had intricate connections. They had surrendered, but you killed them. Isn't that against the rules? This action immediately aroused resentment in the entire Jiangnan area. In addition, some people secretly fanned the flames and attacked Han Suzhen. I heard that someone even wrote a pornographic book about Han Suzhen, and someone even dug up Han Suzhen's cenotaph, which led to Chen Sanliang's anger." Huang Chao's voice was full of helplessness.

"Someone wants to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters." Zhang Chen was so smart that he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The powerful people in the major vassal states of Jiangnan Road were afraid of death, so how could they dare to go against Chen Sanliang? Now someone is taking advantage of the situation and forcing everyone to fight Chen Sanliang to the death.

"I don't know which unscrupulous guy caused such a disaster. He deserves to be put to death." Huang Chao cursed.

The demon clan wants to slaughter all the human beings in Jiangnan Road. Huang Tiandao will also be implicated. Huang Tiandao will be in big trouble. His influence in Jiangnan Road will be wiped out. How can he not curse?
"The person who attacked was really cruel. He wanted to kill Chen Sanliang. He knew where Chen Sanliang's weakness was and stabbed him where it hurt." Zhang Chen sighed inwardly.

But he also had to admit that the other party was indeed cruel.

As for who did it?
Although Zhang Chen didn't know, but according to the inference that the 'beneficiary' is guilty, Zhang Chen looked towards the direction of Linglong Tower.

"Zhou Qiucheng is a ruthless and impartial person, so it shouldn't be him, right? How could he do such a cruel thing?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

"If Zhou Qiucheng's mind was bewitched by the Great Freedom Demon, he might be able to do such a cruel thing." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

But he couldn't say for sure now whether Chen Sanliang had been bewitched by the Great Freedom Demon under the Linglong Tower.

"This is difficult!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself. He had no way to testify.

Now that things have come to this, what's the point of finding out who did it and who the murderer is even if he tracks it down?

"Let's escape quickly. Chen Sanliang is going crazy now. All the living beings in the entire Jiangnan Road have been slaughtered by Chen Sanliang. There is no need to stay in the entire Jiangnan Road now. It's a pity that I just became a big shot in Jiangnan Road and built a foundation in Jiangnan Road, but I encountered such a thing. It's totally unfair." Huang Chao's voice was miserable and his words were full of helplessness.

He had finally succeeded in starting a business in Jinling City, but now he encountered such a thing. Who could he turn to for justice?
Huang Chao wanted to run away, but he didn't want to run away alone. He wanted to take Zhang Chen with him. With Zhang Chen's support and care, he would feel more confident.

Zhang Chen glanced at Huang Chao after hearing this and said, "Things haven't come to that point yet, why are you in such a hurry to run away? The Jiangnan Road will definitely be preserved, and it's impossible for the demons to completely slaughter them all."

"Are you sure?" Huang Chao looked at Zhang Chen with suspicion.

"I naturally have the means to make Chen Sanliang take back his previous words." Zhang Chen replied.

In fact, he didn't think it mattered. To Zhang Chen, there was no difference. It was just that the people who died before were civilians, but now the human nobles were added to the death list.

They were just some powerful people, so they died, Zhang Chen did not want to intervene. The demons invaded the human land, and blood flowed like a river. Zhang Chen was powerless to stop it. All he could do was to try his best to save the people he wanted to save, and protect his relatives and friends from being harmed. As for the rest of the people, he was powerless.

If Zhang Chen dares to stand up and tell the demon clan, "You all retreat," believe it or not, an old fellow of the twelfth level will jump out and suppress him immediately?

But Zhou Qiucheng wanted to protect it himself!
Zhou Qiucheng has been very kind to me and his kindness to me is truly profound.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Huang Chao turned away doubtfully, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the courtyard, looking towards Chongzheng Academy without saying a word. "Zhang Chen, you have to stop this catastrophe! You must not let the demons kill again, otherwise there will be a big mess." Just when Zhang Chen was about to stay out of it, the Great Freedom Demon jumped out of Zhang Chen's spirit and tried to dissuade him with a serious face.

"Haven't you always been eager to see the world in chaos? Why are you now advising me to mind my own business?" Zhang Chen asked, his words full of confusion.

"If it is an ordinary matter, we just don't care, but we have to take care of this matter. I have sensed that the clone sealed deep in the Linglong Tower has broken through the blockade of the Linglong Tower and can interfere with the outside world. The chaotic human heart, the fear of death, greed, bloodthirstiness, all the seven emotions and six desires, are all its nutrients. Once it breaks out, all the living beings in the world will become its seeds, even the twelfth-rank strongmen will not be immune. Let alone the twelfth-rank strongmen, even those who have achieved the Tao fruit, as long as there is a flaw in their mind, they will become its body." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of fear: "All sentient beings, one by one, will be possessed by it. Including your parents and family!" The Great Freedom Demon said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was silent after hearing this, because his scalp went numb when he thought of that scene, it was too horrifying.

As for stopping this massacre, does Zhang Chen have the ability to do it?

Of course he has the ability. After all, the Great Immortal Huli was restrained by him. Apart from the mysterious Peacock Ancestor of the demon clan whose background is unknown, are there any other top-notch strongmen in the entire demon clan?
As long as we can deal with these two, the demon clan's calamity will be resolved automatically.

Zhang Chen was just asked to take the lead and resist the brunt of the damage, but he was unwilling to do so!

The world is not his, and the power, wealth, and beauties in the world are not his. The people of the world are not his relatives, so what does their life or death have to do with him?

Even if the human race is destroyed, can't he still live well?
If he comes out to fight against the demon clan now, he will be working like a slave for those powerful people and taking the blame for them!

Why?
I haven't enjoyed any of the benefits, but now he wants me to risk my life. Why does he do this?

For the sake of all living beings in the world?
They are not his relatives, so what does the life and death of all living beings in the world have to do with him?

Even if all living beings in the world become rich, they will not give him a penny. Even if all living beings in the world have beautiful women, they will not let him enjoy them. To put it bluntly, when Zhang Chen starves to death, the millions of living beings may not give him a bowl of rice. They are not related to each other, so why should Zhang Chen stand up for all living beings?
As for the extinction of a race and the annihilation of a race?

What a joke, race is nothing more than a "name" or "righteousness" imposed by humans. Aren't humans and demons the same species? Don't they have the same body structure and DNA?
It's just that the definition of difference was given by people later.

The most important thing is that even if the entire human race is destroyed, Zhang Chen can still live well and smoothly, so the destruction of the race has no effect on Zhang Chen.

In that case, why should he come forward?

Of course, now that the incarnation of the Great Freedom Demon has appeared and is about to reside in the bodies of all living beings, Zhang Chen immediately feels a sense of crisis.

He himself is not afraid of the devil, but what about his family?
But he was not willing to just stand up and take the blame and fight against the demons on behalf of everyone.

Why should he do all the hard work and let everyone else enjoy it?

Zhang Chen was dissatisfied!

“Now that it’s like this, you should stop worrying about personal gains and losses. Once that clone escapes, we may be able to escape the calamity, but all living beings in this world and your brothers and sisters will be in trouble.” The Great Freedom Demon kept persuading Zhang Chen earnestly.

"The one who sticks out gets rotten first. I may not gain anything by standing up for the human race now. At least I have to wait until those big bosses can't sit still anymore, and then it won't be too late for me to take the opportunity to push them from behind." Zhang Chen muttered secretly in his heart.

"Let's wait and see. Those big masters above are not in a hurry, so why should we? Now only the north and half of Jiangnan have been occupied. There are still 70% to 80% of the territory left. I am not in a hurry either. Let's slowly wait for the opportunity. As for that devil, if he really runs out..." Zhang Chen hesitated in his heart: "Maybe I can use the Zhen character to suppress it."
