A huge divine eagle was flying in the air. The strong wind created by its flapping wings made the demons who were queuing outside the city stop and look up curiously.
When Xiao Liyue flew down from the six-winged divine eagle, everyone looked at her curiously. Although she was wearing a silver mask, her tall and curvy figure, her special long silver hair, her charming red eyes and seductive red lips made them unable to help but stare at her fascinated.
Even without seeing her face, I could imagine how beautiful she was under the mask.
Suddenly, three cute pets flew beside her like bodyguards, staring at the people around them eagerly.
Xiao Liyue put the six-winged divine eagle into the space, and then took them to line up to enter the city.
A sturdy man with a pair of bull horns on his head stood in front of her. He turned his head secretly to look at her, but was glared at by Chi Xiao.
Instead of getting angry, he smiled awkwardly and rubbed his head: "Hehe...that girl, is this your first time in Demon City too? You don't look like someone from Demon City."
Xiao Liyue smiled brightly: "Yes, Brother Niu, this is my first time traveling far away."
"Haha... No wonder, the girl is from the demon tribe? Or the monster tribe." The sturdy man with horns asked curiously.
"I am from the demon tribe. By the way, Brother Niu, why are there so many people queuing up to enter the Demon City? Do so many people enter the city every day?" she asked curiously.
Brother Niu Jiao said excitedly, "It's normal that the girl doesn't know about this for the first time. You should know that Tianmo City is the largest and most prosperous city of our demon race. When the upper realm recruits disciples, they will come to Tianmo City to recruit disciples. Demons from all over the world will also come here to sign up for the assessment. As long as the demons pass the assessment, they can enter the demon world of the upper realm, and then their life will be worth it."
"Isn't this the demonic realm of the upper world?" Xiao Liyue asked doubtfully.
Big Brother Niu Jiao laughed and said, "Haha... No, we are just ordinary demons living under the jurisdiction of the upper realm. If we want to enter the demon world of the upper realm, we can only enter the upper realm to practice after passing the assessment of the upper realm."
Xiao Liyue nodded and said, "I see. Thank you, Brother Niu."
"Haha...you don't have to be polite, sister. I just think I like you. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I often travel to various cities and know everything about the demons. People call me Xiao Lingtong. My name is Zhang Tiezhu, you can just call me Tiezhu." The sturdy man with horns patted his chest and said with a smile.
Xiao Liyue nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Tiezhu, my name is Yue Lixiao."
"Okay...I will call you Sister Yue from now on." Zhang Tiezhu said happily.
"Okay! Brother Tiezhu, please do as you please." She nodded.
Because Xiao Liyue was afraid that Chiyi and the others would be discovered as spirit beasts, she asked them to follow her in their original forms to avoid being targeted.
When it was Zhang Tiezhu and Xiao Liyue's turn, the demon soldier at the city gate looked at Zhang Tiezhu and said arrogantly, "You need to hand in one hundred high-quality demon spirit stones to enter the city today."
Zhang Tiezhu said with an annoyed look: "Why did the price go up? In the past, I only had to hand in one top-grade magic stone to enter the city!"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Today is the day when the people from the upper realm come to recruit disciples. Therefore, any outsiders entering the city in the next few days need to hand in one hundred high-quality magic stones before they can enter the city." The soldier said arrogantly.
The demons behind him shouted, "Hey... do you have the magic stone? If not, get out of the way. We still have to take part in the assessment of the upper realm! If you miss this opportunity to enter the upper realm, we will hold you accountable."
"That's right...if you don't have the magic stone, don't just stand here!" said the demon on the side unhappily.
Zhang Tiezhu looked at his storage ring and saw that it only had fifty high-grade magic stones. These were given to him by the clan leader. So he said nervously, "There are only fifty high-grade magic stones in my storage ring. Please let me in! I will return them to you when I earn enough magic stones."
The soldier said with a look of disdain: "Go away... poor beggar, you want to participate in the upper realm assessment without any magic spirit stones."
"If you don't have spirit stones, don't waste everyone's time. Get out of the way." The demon reached out to pull Zhang Tiezhu away.
But Xiao Liyue stopped him and said, "Here are two hundred magic stones. Can we go in now?"
The soldier at the city gate looked at the magic stones in the storage bag and said, "You also need to hand in the magic stones for the three pets you brought. You still need 300 magic stones."
Zhang Tiezhu said angrily, "Since when will the spirit pets have to hand in the magic spirit stones when they enter the city?"
"What I said is, either the two of you go in and the three spirit pets stay outside the city gate, or none of you go in." The soldier at the city gate said proudly.
Xiao Liyue threw out another 300 magic stones and said coldly, "You can go in now!"
The gatekeeper wanted to say something, but her cold eyes made him nervous and he said, "Okay...Okay, you can go in."
Chi Xiao passed by the soldier at the city gate and directly took his storage ring. He dared to rob his mother's magic stone, so it was a bargain not to kill him and only take his storage ring.
Seeing this, Chiyi and Baiyu looked at it with admiration.
After Zhang Tiezhu and Xiao Liyue entered the city, they said with gratitude: "Thank you very much, sister Lixiao. I will return you fifty magic stones first, and then I will return you when I earn more magic stones."
Xiao Liyue refused and said, "Brother Tiezhu, you don't have to be polite. It won't be too late to return it to me when you earn the magic stones. If you pass the test, it will be very troublesome if you don't have the magic stones."
"Thank you so much, sister Li Xiao. I will pay you back someday and give you an extra 100 Magic Stones then." Zhang Tiezhu said gratefully.
"Well! Let's go, Brother Tiezhu."
"Hehe...Okay, sister Li Xiao."
The two men and three pets walked into the city. As soon as they entered, they saw a man in a purple robe standing on the arena not far ahead, looking superior.
The man slowly said, "I am Peng Hong from the upper realm. Today, I am entrusted by the Demon King to come to Tianmo City to recruit disciples. All the disciples who will take part in this assessment should stand in a row. I will check your demonic roots. Those who pass the test can follow me to the upper realm."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a formation was formed under everyone's feet. Those who did not pass the test of demonic roots were thrown out of the formation.
In the end, only more than a thousand people passed, and ten thousand people had been sent out of the formation.
Although Peng Hong was disdainful of the fact that only so many people passed the spiritual root test, he still said with a smile: "Congratulations to the disciples who stayed in the formation for getting the chance to go to the upper demon world. But don't be happy too soon. If you want to become the disciple of the Demon King or Demon Emperor, or even the Demon Lord and Demon Emperor, you need to rely on your own talents. Next, follow me back to the upper realm!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and a luxurious spirit ship appeared in the air, and he flew up.
