Ira looked around once again, only to gasp in shock when she saw the people around her.
“T-These people are all Demonic Cultivators! Are they all demons like me?” she exclaimed when she realized that the people there were all Demonic Cultivators like herself. “That’s right. These people are all Demonic Cultivators. You can now live here just like them.”
Ira was utterly confused at that point. One of the Demonic Cultivators, who was standing next to Ira, said, “Abbot Infinides is our savior. He’s the one who brought every single one of us Demonic Cultivators here. This secret realm belongs to Pentagon Monastery. Abbot Infinides has allowed us to stay here. Abbot Infinides is a good man, so you have no reason to be afraid. He won’t hurt us.”
Ira stared at Infinides with shock written all over her face. She had heard rumors about how much Infinides hated Demonic Cultivators to the bone and how he hunted them down everywhere.
As it turned out, Infinides was actually saving. those Demonic Cultivators. However, Ira couldn’t understand why he would want to do so.
As though he could read Ira’s mind, Infinides flashed her a smile and said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re from the human race, demon race, or the beast race. I believe everybody is equal, but the Celestial Battle caused the demon race to be hunted down by everyone. All forms of life should coexist peacefully, not kill one another. I want to protect the balance and harmony of the three races, but this is all I can do on my own. I wonder when the three races will be able to truly live peacefully among one another…”
Infinides gazed at the sky above, making him. appear a lot older. All of a sudden, Ira found herself at a loss for words. She was so stunned that she couldn’t even bring herself to thank him.
“Just stay here for the time being. You can all go free once the three races are able to live together peacefully,” Infinides said and got ready to leave.
“Abbot Infinides,” Ira called out to him. “I have a granddaughter back in Rock Village! I’m worried about her…”
Having witnessed how cruel Francois and the others were, Ira couldn’t help but worry about. Emily. Infinides flashed Ira a confused look. “I didn’t find any other Demonic Cultivators in Rock Village, though.”
“Oh, my granddaughter is human. I adopted her while I was hiding in Rock Village. I’m worried. that the people from Emerald Cauldron Sect might…”
Ira couldn’t bring herself to finish that sentence as she feared her words would come true. Infinides stared her in the eye as he replied, “Good and evil have nothing to do with one’s race. It’s a shame many don’t understand that. Don’t worry. I’ve already warned the people from Emerald Cauldron Sect not to kill innocent people. I’m sure they wouldn’t dare go against my word.”
He then turned around and walked through the. wall of light, slowly disappearing from sight.
Ira simply stood there and stared blankly into space. She had assumed that her death was certain, only to have things turn out like this instead. It all seemed so surreal that it felt like a dream.
“Come on, Ma’am. I’ll get you a place to stay. If I’m not mistaken, Abbot Infinides used to be in love with a Demonic Cultivator, but the two were torn apart when humans started hunting down Demonic Cultivators. They even killed his lover.
That’s probably why Abbot Infinides has been working so hard to save the demon race. We might just be saved if there were a few more people like Abbot Infinides,” said one of the Demonic Cultivators as he showed Ira the way. Given how much he knew about Infinides, it would be fair to assume that he had been staying here for a long time.
