391: Start migration

"You don't know why I'm looking for you?"

Chen Heng raised an eyebrow, pointing outside the room.

"Are you referring to the sleeping sickness and the death zone?" The Demon Emperor sighed, his expression turning grim.

"I cannot stop the expansion of the death zone, and there's no place for our Eastern Demon Alliance elsewhere."

"The Western Demon Alliance already has a very large population. If the Eastern Demon Alliance were to migrate there en masse, the result would only be war."

"The Eastern Demon Alliance has been fighting for so many years; I think it's better to be conservative."

"What if I told you I have a way to solve your current problems?"

Chen Heng was silent for a moment before suddenly asking.

"This... it's not that I think you lack the ability, it's just that if the Eastern Demon Alliance troubles you again, we would be a bit shameless."

The Demon Emperor slowly shook his head. Although he respected Chen Heng, he still cared about Face.

He couldn't ask Chen Heng for help with everything; Chen Heng didn't owe them anything.

On the contrary, they owed Chen Heng.

"You think I want to deal with your messy affairs?"

Chen Heng rolled his eyes and pulled Luo Shuo, who was reminiscing with the Demon Empress, over.

"I'm quite fond of this kid Luo Shuo, and since he calls me Big Brother, I'll look out for him."

"Since my brother wants me to help, I naturally won't ignore it."

"Besides, this isn't a big problem. It's just territory, and there's an unwanted place right next to you."

The Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Heng and Luo Shuo.

"Mr. Chen, are you referring to... the Jade Fan Kingdom?"

"Yes, I passed by that place before." Chen Heng nodded, recalling the scene he saw when he passed through the Jade Fan Kingdom while harvesting leeks.

"Although the land there isn't particularly fertile right now, it's more than enough to support about half of the Eastern Demon Alliance's lesser demons."

"As for how to make the choice, or where the death zone will eventually spread, these are all unknowns."

"I'm just providing you with a better idea."

"Don't worry about violating our agreement; the people of the Jade Fan Kingdom are long dead."

"All those cultists were sacrificed by their Grand State Preceptor, but I didn't see that Grand State Preceptor when I passed by."

Suddenly, Chen Heng remembered the 'big bird' he had collided with in the air earlier.

It couldn't be such a coincidence... but it might be, after all, birds aren't that sturdy.

But this kind of thing was irrelevant to the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Demon Alliance, so there was no need to mention it.

"..." Hearing Chen Heng's suggestion, the Demon Emperor began to consider the feasibility of this method.

He had heard about the situation in the Jade Fan Kingdom, but at the time, they were busy with the aftermath of eliminating the evil Dragon, so he hadn't paid much attention.

"I understand." After a few minutes of various considerations, the Demon Emperor let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Chen, the Eastern Demon Alliance thanks you once again."

"Although we have lived on this land for thousands of years and have deep feelings for it."

"But now is not the time for emotions to decide things; migration is imminent."

"Please, Mr. Chen, lend me a hand!"

Saying that, the Demon Emperor stood up and cupped his hands towards Chen Heng.

"What you said is as good as unsaid. I came here to help; otherwise, why would I come to join this excitement?"

Chen Heng chuckled and patted the Demon Emperor's shoulder.

"Don't worry, this is something my brother asked me to do, so I'll definitely do it for you."

"Right, Luo Shuo."

Chen Heng turned to look at Luo Shuo, who was still in a daze.

"Huh?" Luo Shuo was still shocked by Chen Heng's words just now and hadn't fully recovered.

He never expected that his Big Brother Chen, who seemed to only know how to kill, could come up with such a plan.

Although this method could only be used by a brute, it nevertheless solved the Eastern Demon Alliance's urgent problem.

"This kid is dumbfounded." Chen Heng gave Luo Shuo a somewhat disdainful look, then began to discuss the migration with the Demon Emperor.

"Oh, and Luo Shuo, please call in the Twenty-Four Demon Sages, and General Feng and the others."

Seeing Luo Shuo motionless, the Demon Emperor assumed he was tired from the journey.

Once everyone had arrived, they began to plan the migration... The discussion didn't take too long; the plan was set in just one night.

Chen Heng and the Demon Emperor would lead the team, with General Feng guarding the rear. They would first send a portion of the Demon Civilians and demon spirits to the Jade Fan Kingdom for reconstruction.

And with Chen Heng's Power of the Ancestral Witch, weather and temperature were not a problem at all.

The Twenty-Four Demon Sages would serve as transport, as their true forms were enormous.

They were perfectly suited to be used as tools.

The difficulty of reconstruction was not high; the original houses were still there and only needed a little cleaning before they could be used directly.

However, a portion of the people had to stay behind to look after the farmlands and could only leave after the harvest season.

Most of the Demon Civilians in this first wave of migration were from Heavenly Demon City, including Hu Ling, who would also go to the Jade Fan Kingdom.

Chen Heng had also observed with his Eye of Origin that the world-suppressing nail in the Jade Fan Kingdom, or rather, the Great Liang's world-suppressing nail, was still very intact and would not cause problems in the short term.

In Heavenly Demon City, Hu Ling was directing the demon spirits and Demon Civilians in the city to begin migrating.

The other demon cities were managed by their respective Grand Commanders or city lords.

"Sigh..." Hu Ling sat beside Chen Heng, letting out a soft sigh.

"What's wrong?" Chen Heng leaned back on the soft seat of the carriage, turning to look at Hu Ling.

"The crops in the field were just planted. It's a shame to abandon them like this, I'm a bit reluctant."

Hu Ling looked at the freshly planted crops in the fields outside, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

"It's not that bad. They were just planted. We can replant them in the Jade Fan Kingdom. A few days won't make a difference."

As a pure-blooded Hua Kingdom native, Chen Heng also felt a pang of regret for those crops.

If he lost some silver, Chen Heng might not even feel bad, but seeing fields and crops was different.

It was just that the current situation didn't allow them to feel sorry; they had to save their lives first.

"Mm, I understand." Hu Ling nodded, no longer looking at the fields outside.

"Oh, and once you all arrive in the Jade Fan Kingdom, you should stay there. I have some unfinished business to attend to when I return."

Chen Heng activated his Eye of Origin, looking at the distant ground.

That was the source of the Eastern Demon Alliance's 'membrane,' which was now intermittent and slowly fading.

That should be where the Eastern Demon Alliance's world-suppressing nail was located, and Chen Heng felt it was necessary to explore it.

Perhaps there would be some unexpected gains.
