The teleportation array, improved by An Ge, was not only fast but also completely smooth, giving everyone who had prepared for discomfort a novel and comfortable experience.
Elder Zhenfeng emerged from the teleportation array, excitedly shouting "Wow!" If the elders from the other peaks hadn't stopped him, the old man might have stayed there and refused to leave.
The elders and disciples of various sects were somewhat shocked. This String Song True Person's array formation level seemed to be at least the seventh level, right? They had never heard of her having this ability before. It's really frustrating to compare people.
The only one who remained calm about the teleportation array was Liu Tingxue, the senior sister of the Xinglin Sect.
When she learned of An Ge's whereabouts, she originally intended to come to the Demon Realm alone, but it was only after being persuaded by the elders that she joined the main force. Looking at the familiar teleportation array, Liu Tingxue smiled.
With her current strength and the sect's attention, she could practically do whatever she wanted in the Xinglin Sect. Originally, she felt that the Xinglin Sect was her home, but in the nearly one year she had been there, she hadn't felt particularly happy.
Seeing the sect disciples' obsequious and fawning manner towards her filled her with endless annoyance, and she longed for her days at the inn even more. She sighed more than once that she must have been too deeply influenced by Lu Yan, as she had even developed some masochistic tendencies.
As soon as they entered the capital, Liu Tingxue's holographic ring activated. Her eyes lit up, and she said to her ancestor, "Ancestor, Tingxue wants to go ahead first. I have already contacted Xiaoge'er."
The Apricot Grove Patriarch laughed heartily, "It's been a year since we last met. Master Xiange must be getting impatient. I'll take care of things in the sect. Just go, Tingxue." His attitude and tone were completely unpretentious, showing no airs of an elder. He was incredibly kind and friendly.
The members of the Xinglin Sect were not surprised, but many disciples from other sects were curious. They had heard of this Senior Sister Liu before; she had disappeared for several years and then reappeared with greatly increased strength, surpassing even their own prodigies.
They guessed that the Xinglin Sect would value Liu Tingxue, but wasn't the patriarch's attitude a bit too friendly? Was this how the Xinglin Sect's prodigies were treated? They were clearly prodigies themselves, yet they were always disliked by the patriarch. Was it too difficult for this generation of prodigies to survive?
Just then, the patriarch of the Xinglin Sect walked up to their patriarchs and elders and complained, "Sigh, Tingxue is just too impatient. She and Ange are so close, I can't just stop them, can I?"
The patriarchs and elders of several major sects, including the Tianji Sect and the Taixu Sword Sect, listened with growing anger, panting heavily. "That old bastard is showing off again."
So what if there's a disciple in the sect who's a divine servant, has a good relationship with the chosen one, is a bit more talented, and is young but strong, giving them a better chance of ascending in the future? What's there to be proud of?
The prodigies from various sects were watching the show when they were suddenly met with a cold shoulder from their own patriarchs, leaving them all bewildered. Their patriarchs had finally managed to give them some kindness lately, so why were they suddenly turning their backs on them?
Besides the major sects and powerful independent cultivators, some disciples from smaller sects also went to the Demon Realm. These disciples were quite strong and arrived confident that they could escape unscathed even if the Demon Realm attacked. Of course, there were exceptions.
Zheng Hao was in a sorry state. Although a path to the Demon Realm was planned in the Demon Forest, the long period of living outdoors still left him full of resentment. The pretty woman beside him looked at the dilapidated Demon Realm with disdain in her eyes.
"Senior brother, Master Xiange is so great. For the peace between the two races, she is willing to stay in this place. The Demon Realm is really in a bad state. It's unfair to her." In the eyes of the little fan girl, everything Ange did was beautified.
Zheng Hao sighed, "Junior sister, everything in the Demon Realm is still unknown. We must be careful with our words and actions. We must not say such things again."
The girl playfully stuck out her tongue. "Okay, I won't say it again. I'm so excited to see Master Xiange. Senior brother, let's take the teleportation array. That way we can get to the capital faster."
Zheng Hao nodded, feeling somewhat weary as he thought about what he had learned. He had originally believed himself to be the chosen one of Heaven, but the reality was vastly different from the plot of the book. If it weren't for some things matching the book, he would have thought he had transmigrated into a fake book.
Zheng Hao prided himself on his exceptional talent, but the longer he stayed in this world, the clearer his self-awareness became. It turned out he wasn't some kind of overpowered genius; his talent was among the best in a small sect, but not outstanding in a large sect.
Zheng Hao felt somewhat resentful. He could foresee the plot and had even seized some treasures using his prophetic abilities, but he still felt his life shouldn't be like this. After much thought, he concluded that the biggest change in this world was An Ge. If it weren't for her, Yu Xinghe, the chosen one of this dimension, should have risen to prominence long ago.
Because of this, Zheng Hao's curiosity about An Ge grew stronger and stronger, especially after hearing that Lingxiao Immortal Lord's ascension was due to An Ge's help, this curiosity reached its peak.
When the news spread that the Holy Maiden of the Demon Realm was the Peak Master of Tianwu Peak, he gritted his teeth and secretly slipped away without telling his master and junior sister, at the urging of his junior sister.
The two walked up to the teleportation array, and fell silent upon hearing its price. It was far too expensive; they couldn't afford it.
There were also humans in front of the teleportation array who thought the price was too high, and they complained, "Why is this price so expensive?"
The demon guarding the teleportation array chuckled, his pride evident in his voice. "This was personally improved by Her Highness the Holy Maiden. It won't cause dizziness; it's fast and comfortable. And the price of this teleportation array isn't expensive at all. The teleportation arrays used by humans and demons are much more expensive than this."
The group was somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. The teleportation arrays for both humans and demons were almost entirely controlled by the major sects; how could they possibly be qualified to experience them? They only wanted to try it out because the teleportation array in the Demon Realm was open to the public.
"Senior brother, I think the demon race is quite special. Why don't we ride a magical beast there? We still have time."
Zheng Hao nodded. "Junior sister is right."
Many others made the same choice, but not everyone was content. Some humans, relying on their superior numbers, began to cause trouble, saying, "You demons claim to be on good terms with us, yet you won't even let us use a teleportation array?"
"It's not that we won't allow it, but you have to pay with magic stones," the guard explained.
"Bah! Are you all desperate for money? A demon is a demon, no matter how well it pretends, its inherent evil cannot be changed. Fellow humans, I think the demons' so-called friendliness is a trap. We must unite to eliminate the demons and defend the righteous path!"
The guard's expression changed. "You want to cause trouble?"
"This is called standing up for justice. What? You want to deal with me?" He was a Golden Core cultivator, and none of the demons here were his match. Moreover, seeing the demons being so friendly to humans, he felt a strange sense of pride.
