Chapter 686: Butterfly Slave (53)
After taking human form, they are roughly divided into low-level demon spirits, which are some weak little demons, then great demons, which are roughly equivalent to the Spirit King and Heavenly King stages of the human race, then heavenly demons, which are equivalent to the Martial God stage, demon kings, which are equivalent to the Saint Lord stage, and finally demon lords. The one who refined the butterfly slave, the Ten Thousand Demon King, is one of the major demon kings and can be considered a top powerhouse of the demon race.
As for the Demon Lord, there is none for now.
Wen Wan's disguised aura was that of a Heavenly Demon. After all, it's too difficult to disguise a Demon King, and it's easy to be exposed. A Great Demon is about right, neither strong nor weak, and very low-key.
Xin Lai, on the other hand, didn't need to disguise himself; he was already at the level of a great demon.
Wen Wan and Xin Lai entered Thunder City. Along the way, Wen Wan encountered countless demons and monsters, and even witnessed several battles, which were simply chaotic and brutal.
"Sister, I'm going to go and find out some information. You rest here and wait for me," Xin said. They found a small inn to rest.
Some people, blind as they were, tried to flirt with Wen Wan just because she was a girl, but they were deterred by the aura of a top-tier demon emanating from her.
The shopkeeper even came to serve her personally, saying, "Miss, is this your first time in Thunder City?"
"Um."
The less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. The more aloof and unpredictable you are, the more awe you inspire.
"What does the master intend to do? I know most of the things happening in Thunder City, and perhaps I can help Miss."
Wen Wan: "Wind and Fire Demon Realm, Demon Lord."
The other party was somewhat surprised. "You mean the new Demon Lord of the Wind and Fire Demon Realm? Are you looking for him? I advise you not to go, Miss. That Demon Lord is too terrifying. Before, the Wind and Fire Demon Realm was a place where three Demon Lords held sway, a thousand times more chaotic than our Thunder City. Then suddenly this new Demon Lord appeared and directly defeated two of the Demon Lords, even injuring them. The three Demon Lords withdrew from the Wind and Fire Demon Realm, and this new Demon Lord directly occupied the Wind and Fire Demon Realm, becoming the eighth new Demon Lord. His methods are extremely ruthless and cruel, and he quickly gained complete control of the Wind and Fire Demon Realm. Even the other Demon Lords don't dare to provoke him."
"Do you know his name?"
The shopkeeper shook his head. "His real name is unknown, nobody knows it, and nobody has ever seen what he really looks like."
"Then do you know how to enter the Wind and Fire Demon Realm?"
"Miss, do you want to enter the Wind and Fire Demon Realm? That's not a safe place. But if you ask, I can tell you that there are three entrances to the Wind and Fire Demon Realm."
Wen Wan learned from the shopkeeper that the three entrances were not open to just anyone; only powerful demons could enter.
And this strength was acquired in Thunder City.
There is a challenge leaderboard in Thunder City where you can earn points. Once you reach a certain number of points, you can obtain a token to enter the Wind and Fire Demon Realm.
"Besides this method, are there any other ways?" Wen Wan asked the shopkeeper. Fighting? That's too difficult. If we can avoid fighting, we should.
"There is another way, which is to obtain the tokens from the leaders of the major forces in Thunder City. Each of the major forces has set a difficult problem, and those who can solve it can enter the Wind and Fire Demon Realm."
Wen Wan learned this from the shopkeeper.
Thunder City is in chaos, but it is still divided among three major forces.
The City Lord's Mansion is the visible power holder in Thunder City, with influence at the peak of the Martial God realm.
There is also the Blood Alliance, a gathering place for demons, whose leader is a peak Heavenly Demon who is close to the level of a Demon King.
The Demon Spirit Alliance is a gathering place for demons, and its leader is a demon king whose strength is close to that of a demon lord.
Each of the three factions has its own problems.
First, there's the City Lord's Mansion. They need to treat the City Lord's daughter's illness, which is no easy task. The City Lord's daughter has been ill for over twenty years, and countless people have tried to cure her, but none have succeeded.
The Blood Alliance wants a Blood Spirit Demon Fruit, which is a supreme treasure for the demon race's cultivation. It is far superior to the Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit that Wen Wan obtained back then. Even a Demon Lord-level expert would covet it.
Finally, there's the Demon Spirit Alliance. Their demand is to kill a traitor from the Demon Spirit Alliance named Situ Yu, a peak Demon King level expert, who may even have already reached the Demon Lord level.
Because when he defected, he was the strongest demon in the Demon Spirit Alliance.
Wow, these are all incredibly difficult!
The news Xinlai brought back was almost identical to what the shopkeeper had told him.
The two checked the so-called challenge list, which had a total of twenty people. The twentieth person was also a strong person in the early stage of Martial God.
Wen Wan found it particularly troublesome.
The Demon Spirit Alliance's mission is absolutely impossible to complete. The system does know about the Blood Spirit Fruit, but that place is very far from here, and the round trip would take more than half a year, not to mention whether we can even get it.
Wen Wan couldn't wait.
So only the first task remained: the city lord's daughter's illness.
"System, what illness does the city lord's daughter have? Do you have a solution?"
System: [I need to see the patient before I can analyze the situation.]
The system also gave up on letting Wen Wan go back, because its host definitely wouldn't go back. Oh well, if it could find another male lead, that would be fine too.
"Alright, let's go to the city lord's mansion."
Wen Wan and Xin Lai arrived at the city lord's mansion, but were stopped just as they were about to enter. "Who goes there!"
Wen Wan: "We are here to treat the city lord's daughter's illness. Please inform her of our presence."
Wen Wan and Xin Lai both possessed the aura of powerful demons, so the other party didn't make things difficult for them and went inside to report.
They came out quickly, saying, "The city lord wants to see you."
Wen Wan and Xin Lai then entered the city lord's mansion.
Soon they met the city lord, Lin Batian.
"Is this the kind of cure you said you could give my daughter?"
Wen Wan: "If I can't cure her, then there may be no one in this world who can save your daughter."
"You are so confident. Before you, there were many people who were just as confident, but they all failed in the end."
Wen Wan: "But the city lord hasn't given up yet, has he? Why not let me give it a try?"
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Lin Batian led Wen Wan and Xin Lai to a courtyard. As soon as they approached the courtyard, a stench hit them. Wen Wan almost couldn't hold it in and miscarried on the spot. Just as the shopkeeper had said, there was a terrible stench.
Since falling ill, the city lord's daughter has not left her room.
She even had countless thoughts of suicide; if it weren't for the city lord, she would have died long ago.
Upon entering the courtyard, the closer they got to the young lady's room, the stronger the stench became. Wen Wan decisively shut off her sense of smell, otherwise she would have truly been suffocated by the stench. What kind of disease was this? How could it smell so bad?
"City Lord."
"Open the room."
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
The room door opened, and Wen Wan went in. She quickly saw the city lord's daughter lying on the bed. Even though Wen Wan was mentally prepared, she was still frightened by her appearance, and quite frightened at that.
Because this young lady's appearance was completely unlike a human being; her face was covered in pustules, and the pustules were shaped like ghost faces. It was disgusting, so disgusting that Wen Wan felt aversion towards her. There were also many pustules on her body, and black fluid was constantly oozing out, which was the source of the stench.
