Lu Li once gave an order that civilians of the Asmodians were not to be tortured to death or to commit crimes that were worse than beasts.
Back then, Lu Zhengyang was in charge of the Asmodians. Lu Zhengyang took it seriously and issued some military rules. Back then, the Asmodians were still a deterrent. Nobody dared to act rashly.
Later on, Lu Zhengyang focused on conquering the Feather Race. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the Asmodians.
Later on, Lu Zhengyang and the others were trapped at the Feather Race. Lu Li went to the Feather Land of the West. All the human's attention was on the Feather Land of the West. The Ocean Land of the East was left unsupervised.
The Asmodians and humans were sworn enemies. Back in the days, the human race was almost wiped out by the Asmodian Lord.
If the Asmodian Lord had breached the Demon-slaying City, the human race would have faced a miserable end. Many human warriors would be killed, civilians would be enslaved, and human girls would be abused and killed by the Asmodians …
Therefore, the hatred between humans and Asmodians ran deep. Over the years, many had died in the hands of the Asmodians.
Once there was no one to supervise them, the troops here naturally began to vent their anger.
At first, they were just beating and scolding. Then, they began to abuse. Gradually, some Asmodians were killed …
There were three people in charge of the Asmodians. One was a patriarch of the Lu Family, one was a patriarch of the Jiang Family, and the last one was a patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall.
The interests of the Ocean Land of the East were divided between the Lu Family, the Jiang Family, and the Demon-slaying Hall. The Lu Family had the largest share.
The three of them had received news that some Asmodians were being abused. But they didn't pay much attention.
First of all, the Asmodians were mortal enemies. Killing one Asmodian meant one less Asmodians. Even if all the Asmodians were wiped out, the three of them wouldn't care. Instead, they would think there would be no future trouble.
The Asmodians were insidious, cunning, and vicious. Such a race should have been wiped out a long time ago.
What was more, with so many warriors stationed here, far away from the prosperity of the Central Plains, the Asmodians were lonely.
The three of them could understand the warriors' resentment. Therefore, they didn't take it seriously and left it alone.
As soon as the three of them left, things went out of control. Also, some disciples of the Lu Family were from a branch of the Lu Family. To them, the Lu Family was the most powerful family and they were lords, the most honorable people in the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Naturally, the Lu Family disciples wanted to enjoy themselves. Therefore, their subordinates sent over some Asmodian beauties. Soon, the Eastern Land of Oceans went out of control, which was what Lu Li and the others saw …
The small city had been tidied up. But Lu Li was afraid that Jiang Qiling and the others would go in and see something disgusting. So, he insisted on camping outside the city.
For the past couple of days, Lu Li had been taking the three of them on foot. There were some special sceneries nearby, which made the three of them feel better.
On the afternoon of the third day, the highest commander of the Eastern Land of Oceans, the three patriarchs, came. Patriarch Sun came early to send a message, but Lu Li did not answer. He told the three patriarchs to wait in the city.
At dusk, Lu Li took the three of them into the city.
The inside of the city had been completely refurbished, and even the streets had been cleaned. There were soldiers patrolling the streets in an orderly manner, and it looked no different from a human city.
The three commanders of the Eastern Land of Oceans were waiting at the plaza. Behind them were more than a hundred people. Lu Li found them familiar. Some of them were disciples from a branch of the Lu Family.
"Master Li!"
A patriarch of the Lu Family was guarding here, Lu Tianren.
Even though he was only at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm, he was one of the patriarchs of the Lu Family. Who dared to belittle him?
Lu Tianren was of the same generation as Lu Li's grandpa. But he was not of the same bloodline as Lu Zhengyang. Lu Tianren greeted Lu Li from the distance with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
I could have brought someone to welcome you earlier. "
"Master Li, Ling-er, nice to meet you!"
The patriarch of the Jiang Family was at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm, Jiang Hongyu. He was Jiang Qiling's uncle. He smiled at Lu Li and Jiang Qiling. He even winked at Jiang Qiling.
"Grand Master!"
The other patriarch was an old man at the Earth Immortal Realm. He was one of the patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall and the only Earth Immortal Realm warrior at the Eastern Land of Oceans.
After all, there were no more powerful Asmodians here. One Earth Immortal Realm warrior was enough.
Lu Li put on a cold face. He did not greet the three. He looked at the more than one hundred warriors behind them and said coldly, "Those of you who have tortured and killed Asmodian civilians, step to the left. Those who have raped Asmodian females, step to the right.
I will give you one chance. If I find out that you have done something wrong, not only will you die, but your entire families will be implicated! "
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Everyone was taken aback. The smiles on Lu Tianren and Jiang Hongyu's faces froze. They were embarrassed.
Lu Tianren walked over to Lu Li and said, "Young Master Li, it is not a big deal. You don't have to do this …"
"Not a big deal?"
Lu Li put on a mocking smile. He glanced at the group and said, "Maybe, as far as you are concerned, the Asmodians are the mortal enemies of the human race and all Asmodians should be cut into pieces and exterminated?
To you, the Asmodians are alien races with evil intentions. That is why you can kill them without seeing them as human beings?
You can rape them at will, eh? "
Lu Li emphasized the last word "eh", which made the group pale in fright. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. Nobody dared to say a word.
That being said, some of them did not take Lu Li's words seriously, as if the Asmodians should be cut into pieces and they should not be treated as human beings.
"Everything has a soul!"
Lu Li said, "What is the biggest difference between humans and wild beasts?
That is, humans have souls, wisdom, civilization, morality, and a sense of propriety, justice, honor, and shame.
If, as a human being, you eat raw meat and drink blood like wild beasts, wear no clothes, and kill at will like wild beasts, are you still human? "
"Humans are just a race. In the eyes of the Asmodians, we are no different from the Feather Race, the Voodoo Race, and the Mammoth Race. In other words — humans are not noble. Just like the other races, we are equal!"
"You can also say that — all the ancient races can actually be called the human race, because these ancient races are the same as the human race. They all have intelligence, each have their own civilization, and understand propriety, justice, honor, and shame.
There is no justice or evil in the war between the races because everyone is just from each other's point of view! "
"In ancient times, the human race was weak, and there were tens of thousands of races. At that time, the human race was often bullied, killed, and humiliated. But this was very normal, because the human race was too weak, and the ancient races were too strong.
Later on, humans rose. Emperor of Heaven Reverse swept across the Heaven Reverse Universe. We humans stood at the peak of the Heaven Reverse Universe and killed many ancient races. We chased the Asmodians, Feather Race, Barbarian Race, and the Voodoo Race to those barren lands.
From the standpoint of the four alien races and many other ancient races, we humans are evil, or even evil. We are the devils! "
Lu Li paused for a moment. He glanced at the others again and continued, "What do you think you and your warriors did at the Ocean Land of the East look like to the Asmodian civilians?
Didn't they look like demons? Didn't they look like devils?
When two races are at war, it is the same as when two families are at war. There is nothing wrong with killing the opposing warriors. But if you want to kill the defenseless civilians and rape Asmodian girls, do you think you are still human?
Do you have any humanity?
If … you don't even have humanity, then what is the difference between you and demons? "
Towards the end, Lu Li's tone became extremely cold, like an unsheathed saber. Many people were afraid to stand still. He looked around and said, "Since you have become demons, how about … I send you to hell. What do you think?"
