Unlike Hu Tong's carefree attitude, Lu Yan grew angrier the more he thought about it. Coupled with his baby face, he looked like an abandoned puppy. The thought that Hu Tong might be chasing after some handsome demon man again made him feel depressed.
Lu Yan shook his head, banishing these strange thoughts. He was destined for great things and couldn't let Hu Tong, that tigress, influence him.
Xun Kuang of the Tianyan Sect had also heard the news that the Demon Clan was about to have a Holy Maiden. Although the Demon Clan hadn't caused much trouble in the past hundred years, he had always been uneasy about them. If it were before, he would have been anxiously trying to find out more. But now, he had elders to rely on!
"Uncle-Master, if the Demon Clan causes trouble, can you two step in?"
"Little Xunzi, you are now the sect leader. With your strength, even if the demons attack the Tianyan Sect, we will be fine." As expected, his little disciple is still the one he wants. If it were Jiang Shang, he would definitely be ready to fight, or even take the initiative to attack.
Xun Kuang felt a little aggrieved when he saw the disdain in Yi Wenbai's eyes. He had been carrying the burden for so many years. Could he finally relax now that his elders were around?
"What Martial Uncle says is true. Our Tianyan Sect is not what it used to be." Putting aside the overall strength of the Tianyan Sect, two out of the three ascendants in the Tianxuan Continent are from the Tianyan Sect, and the other one is also the son-in-law of the Tianyan Sect. If the Demon Clan wants to cause trouble, they'll have to see if the Tianyan Sect will allow it.
“Your concerns are not unfounded. How about this, Tao Le and I will go to the Demon Realm to gather some information.”
"Uncle-Master, you haven't seen your junior brother yet."
Yi Wenbai raised his hand to stop Xun Kuang from staying, "Our time in the lower realm is limited. The Tianyan Sect is developing very well, and staying here all the time is not a good idea. Aren't you worried about the Demon Clan? Although our strength is limited by the Heavenly Dao, we will not ignore any conspiracy by the Demon Clan. We don't know when Shang'er will be able to come back. Given his personality, he might go to the Demon Clan to join in the fun."
Xun Kuang thought about it and agreed; his junior brother was always restless. Besides, if his junior brother could sense their master's arrival, he could certainly sense their location as well. With that in mind, he didn't insist. "Then shall I prepare flying mounts for you two?"
"No need. With our strength, it will only take us a few days to get to the Demon Realm."
After the two left, Xun Kuang sighed. Having elders around brought a sense of peace, if nothing else. He wondered when his uncle would be able to return.
A few days after the two left, Jiang Shang hurriedly returned to Tianyan Sect. "Senior brother, I heard that Master has returned. Where is he?"
Xun Kuang said irritably, "You've only been gone a few days, and you've already gone to the Demon Realm. Why did you take so long to go to the Demon Clan? If you had come back a few days earlier, you could have seen your martial uncle."
"Isn't it because Hu Jiu has some special circumstances? Since Master is going to the Demon Realm, I'll go too."
Xun Kuang quickly pulled Jiang Shang back, "Don't go yet! Uncle-Master and Lord Tao Le are seniors, and not many people pay their respects to them. But you are different. For the sake of Tianyan Sect, Junior Brother, please deal with these visiting cards first."
So what if he's an ascendant? No matter how powerful he is, he's still my junior brother! Seeing Jiang Shang's depressed face, Xun Kuang was in a great mood.
Yi Wenbai and Tao Le arrived in the Demon Realm in just three days, and that was with them holding back. At their level of strength, they didn't need to worry about being discovered as cultivators by the Demon Realm; they didn't even bother with disguises and entered directly.
Gale City is the first town outside the Demon Realm. Due to its special geographical location, the demon army stationed here is powerful, and the people of the entire region are exceptionally warlike. As far as the eye can see, almost everyone there is a demon cultivator.
This is quite normal; in this chaotic area, ordinary demons simply have no place to survive.
Yi Wenbai and Tao Le had reached a state of returning to simplicity, and their presence could not be detected by outsiders. The two walked through Gale City, expecting to encounter harassment from the demons, and were prepared to take action. Unexpectedly, they walked on the streets for half a day without any disturbance.
Tao Le didn't know much about the demon race and thought it was normal. Only after hearing Yi Wenbai's explanation did she realize that something was wrong.
"Perhaps the demon race has changed over the past few thousand years?"
"That's unlikely. From what Xunzi said, we know that the demon race has not only failed to improve in recent years, but has also become increasingly chaotic. The demon race is inherently warlike, and it's impossible for it to have become like this unless there are special reasons."
As they were talking, they saw a demon looking at them with ill intent.
The two exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing that they had finally arrived.
"A mere demon dares to come to Gale City? Don't you want to live? If you want to live, hand over what you have!" Only demons would dare to rob someone in broad daylight.
Yi Wenbai sneered and was about to make a move when he saw the robbing demon being carried by a passing demon cultivator with one hand, while the demon passersby who were watching clapped and cheered.
"Wang San has been throwing his weight around every day because he has a fifth-rank demon soldier in his family. Now he's finally met his match."
"This is a disgrace to Gale City. It should be like this. We've finally had a few days of peace, and we can't let these demon scum ruin them."
"Don't worry, the leader of Gale City has changed. I heard it's a powerful demon general. This is a demon personally appointed by Her Highness the Holy Maiden, so he certainly won't let these troublemaking demons get away with it."
Soon, a group of demon soldiers appeared, and judging by their strength, they were almost all high-level demon soldiers.
The leading demon soldier grabbed the demon named Wang San, his face still contorted with anger. "Didn't you see the latest regulations? Gale City doesn't allow attacks on ordinary demons."
Wang San quickly begged for mercy, "My lord, please spare me! I forgot for a moment, I won't do it again."
"Take him back. The Holy Maiden said that education should be the priority. Considering this is your first offense since the rules were established, and if you show remorse, your punishment can be reduced."
"Yes, I will definitely correct my mistakes, study hard, and become a demon again."
The demon soldiers took the troublemaker Wang San away and bowed to the demon who had intervened, saying, "Thank you, brave warrior." This was a high-ranking demon general with great strength, and they would have been worried in the past. But now their leader was a powerful seventh-rank demon commander, and he was accompanied by several other high-ranking demon generals, so they were more confident in enforcing the law.
The demon general who made the move said nonchalantly, "It's all for the image and future of the demon race. These things are nothing." He spoke with such righteous indignation that many demons watching nodded in approval.
Yi Wenbai and his companion were stunned. Then they saw the demon soldier look at them, his voice so gentle it was almost sweet, "Are you two alright?"
The two shook their heads mechanically. What could have happened to them? Before they even made a move, the demon who had offended them was brought to justice.
The term was originally considered a joke when applied to demons, since in demons, strength almost represents everything, there is no "law" to speak of, let alone the idea that a demon cultivator would take action for an ordinary demon.
