After encountering such trouble, Miao Miao became much more cautious when choosing routes when leading them on their journeys.
Ji Mofan should also try to conserve his spiritual power, since this is the Demon Realm, where spiritual energy is scarce, and it is very slow to recover once it is used up.
Once he actually entered the Demon Palace, he would save some energy for exploring.
As Miao Miao had initially predicted, the group continued their journey, stopping and starting along the way, and entered the main city two days before the Demon Lord's birthday celebration.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Ji Mofan felt unwell all over, and even his breathing became much more difficult.
Li Geyue's reaction was completely opposite, as if every pore of her skin had been relaxed.
No wonder all the demonic cultivators want to stay in the main city; this place is truly a blessed land suitable for cultivating demonic energy.
Unfortunately, the main city gates are only open during the birthday celebrations each year; outsiders are not allowed to enter at other times.
In this crowded and noisy place, and to avoid attracting attention because of his identity, Ji Mo Fan wore a bamboo hat to cover his face.
With the Immortal-Locking Chains in place, other demonic cultivators couldn't discern Ji Mofan's true strength; they would likely just assume he was some demonic cultivator taking his pet furnace out for a stroll.
Such things are not uncommon in the demon realm.
Following Li Geyue and Miao Miao, Ji Mofan quietly surveyed the surrounding town.
At first glance, the streets of the Demon Realm are not much different from those of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, with shops open for business and vendors hawking their wares along the streets.
However, the attire of passersby is quite eccentric, and you can often see a few odd people dressed in unconventional ways.
In just a short while, he saw two demonic cultivators wearing monster skulls as hats pass by.
If this continues, it's not impossible that we'll see a human skull soon.
Ji Mofan didn't find it terrifying; he simply didn't understand this aesthetic.
Demonic cultivators are indeed unpredictable.
However, even so...
He glanced at Li Geyue, who was taking a string of candied hawthorns from Miao Miao's hand.
Ji Mo Fan sighed.
People really can't be compared. When they were placed side by side like this, he suddenly felt that Li Geyue looked much more pleasing to the eye.
This is not a good sign.
Where there are many demonic cultivators, there is bound to be trouble. The three of them were looking for a place to stay and rest in the city when they suddenly heard a commotion ahead.
"Looks like they're about to have a fight!" Miao Miao seemed very excited, constantly standing on tiptoe to look in the direction of the crowd. "Brother Yue, should we go take a look too?"
"What's so interesting about this?" Li Geyue wasn't sure what Miao Miao meant by "fighting in the arena," but in any case, she decided to stick to her arrogant persona.
"What does 'fighting on the stage' mean?" This question would be more appropriate to be asked by Ji Mo Fan.
"It means that the two sides that have a conflict cannot directly fight. Instead, they must invite the village chief to designate a specific area and decide the winner openly, fairly, and transparently." Miao Miao's attitude towards Ji Mofan has been quite good lately, and he answers all her questions.
"Regardless of life or death, the living must collect the bodies of the dead. If both sides are severely injured, then the village chief is responsible for cleaning up the battlefield."
“Only the main city has such a rule, because the Demon Lord hates the smog and bloody smell around him.” He continued, “If it were in a more remote town, and someone was beaten to death and left on the roadside, it might take ten days or half a month for someone to come and collect the body.”
"Are you curious? How about we go and take a look together?" Miao Miao started urging Ji Mofan again.
These past few days he's come to understand things better. Perhaps because he feels guilty for deceiving Ji Mofan's feelings, Brother Yue is quite respectful towards this righteous cultivator bound by the Immortal-Locking Chains.
Even though he would still make a sarcastic remark about any request he made, he would still do what he could if he could.
After all, Ji Mo Fan never makes any unreasonable demands.
Miao Miao has good insight, but unfortunately, the known conditions she used were wrong.
Ji Mofan had no interest in watching people fight; he'd rather use that time to get a room at the inn and get some rest.
He relied mostly on physical strength to travel these past few days, and spent a small portion of the time riding on the same sword as Li Geyue.
But to be honest, he really didn't want to be so close to Li Geyue, and would rather Li Geyue hold him by the Immortal Locking Chain.
Li Geyue naturally disagreed, and in the end, Ji Mofan rode on his sword while he himself walked on foot using his lightness skill.
A complete reversal of the Heavenly Gang.
Even so, his body was indeed quite exhausted and he couldn't continue to overdraw his energy.
Just as he was about to shake his head and turn to walk into the inn, the wind blew his straw hat up slightly as he moved.
Just as the veil was lifted, a familiar figure suddenly caught my eye in my suddenly clear vision.
Ji Mofan's steps immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Geyue stopped immediately the moment she felt the Immortal Locking Chain being pulled, afraid that she might accidentally hurt Ji Mofan again.
He wasn't quite used to controlling demonic energy to begin with.
Ji Mofan's gaze swept over the crowd.
"Let's go see what's going on." He turned to look at Li Geyue and Miao Miao.
So be it if he overdraws his money. He's done a lot of similar stupid things in the past, and it's common for him to stay up for days and nights without sleep once he enters a secret realm.
It's not a big deal to miss one more day.
Although she didn't understand why Ji Mofan would suddenly change his mind, Li Geyue thought that he wouldn't object to Ji Mofan's reasonable request.
Miao Miao was even more excited and turned around and ran over, squeezing left and right in the crowd, trying to get closer to see the fight.
The demonic cultivators were always very enthusiastic about this kind of activity, and in a short time, they surrounded the area in layers.
There was no such entertainment in the cultivation world, so Li Geyue curiously tiptoed to peek inside.
However, he dared not squeeze into crowded places, fearing that Ji Mofan might get hurt if he did so.
Through the light veil of his bamboo hat, Ji Mofan's gaze was fixed on one of the participants in the duel.
The latter, being in the center of the line of sight, did not notice the scrutinizing gaze at all.
"What a piece of trash! Are those two eyes on your face meant to breathe all the time?" He pointed at another demonic cultivator opposite him and cursed.
"Pah! Your two claws are the ones that should be chopped off and eaten with wine!" The person opposite was a beautiful female demon cultivator, slightly plump with a well-proportioned and voluptuous figure, and her voice was accompanied by subtle waves.
One reason why there were so many onlookers was because of the female cultivator's overly voluptuous figure.
After all, no one can say for sure whether a fight might damage one or two parts of the clothes.
As Ji Mofan listened to the unpleasant conversations around him, he felt a strong sense of unease.
Such a thing would never happen in the cultivation world. Even if someone harbors malicious intentions behind the scenes, at least everyone maintains a facade of righteousness.
But in the demon realm, it's quite common; demon cultivators are used to putting all the darkest secrets of their hearts into the open.
