AWB Chapter 145 Back to the Supreme City
Chapter 145 Back to the Supreme City
One sentence attracted the attention of everyone/everyone.
"Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
Han Mujiao arrogantly declared, "My wife is a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in history, a natural wonder that could shame the moon and flowers... How dare you mortals even dream of hearing of her?"
Utopia: "..."
His fist hardened.
“I want to beat it up,” Wu You said, turning to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan ignored him and threw them into the house, saying, "Eat."
Looking at the salted vegetables and white porridge on the table, everyone was speechless.
Is this really necessary to discriminate?
Yun Zhao's alcohol tolerance is really poor. He got completely drunk after drinking two glasses of fruit wine that could be drunk like a beverage.
She clung to Qi Yan, calling for him to hold her. With Bai Lingxiao's doting smile, Qi Yan blushed and carried Yun Zhao into the house.
Bai Lingxiao sat outside in the courtyard and watched the moon for a while before going back inside.
"very nice."
The next day, upon learning that Yun Zhao and Qi Yan had come to the Demon Realm to find out why the Demon Race had declared war on the Human Race, Bai Lingxiao said she wanted to go with them.
“The demons in Wushang City are far more powerful than those in other places. If I go with you, I can be of some help if something happens.”
Yun Zhao quickly refused: "Senior sister, your most important thing is to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. Other things are not important. Besides, we are just going to investigate. There is no need to fight with the demon race."
"By the way, Ayan is about to break through. Once he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, we won't be afraid even in Wushang City."
“Nonsense,” Bai Lingxiao said sternly. “The overall strength of the demon race is far superior to that of the human race. If their cultivation level hadn’t been suppressed when they entered human territory, the cultivation world would have been conquered long ago.”
"You must not underestimate your enemy. Don't think that just because you are outstanding among humans, you can walk around freely among demons."
Bai Lingxiao had a deep understanding of this. When she first came to the demon realm, she thought that with her cultivation level, she could live peacefully in the demon realm, if not become a strong one.
But after she arrived, she discovered that even in a small town like hers, there were at least ten Golden Core stage demons, and she didn't know about those with higher cultivation levels.
Bai Lingxiao wondered, "Why is there such a big difference between the two realms? Could it be that the spiritual energy in the demon realm is much richer?"
Only Yun Zhao and Qi Yan knew that it was due to the aura of extinction.
Ten thousand years ago, the aura of destruction ravaged the cultivation world. In order to protect the demon realm, Qi Yan severed the passage between the two realms.
But as time went by, the passage slowly reappeared, which was the place guarded by the demon-slaying town.
Yun Zhao had to persuade Bai Lingxiao to stay.
Firstly, their purpose in coming to the demon realm was not to investigate the reasons for the demon race's declaration of war; secondly, Qi Yan's demon race identity could not be exposed for the time being.
After staying here for a few more days, Qi Yan broke through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. If he hadn't been stuck for a while, he probably would have been able to reach the Divine Transformation stage.
Qi Yan frowned. "It's probably because I haven't used my power for too long, so I'm a bit rusty. I think I'll be able to skip the Nascent Soul stage and reach the next realm next time."
The next stage is the Refinement of Emptiness stage!
Yun Zhao said with envy and jealousy, "I'm still stuck at the Golden Core stage. I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling like things aren't going smoothly when I'm cultivating."
She said dejectedly.
Despite her best efforts, she only absorbed a tiny amount of spiritual energy, and she hadn't broken through to a new level in a long time.
Qi Yan comforted her, "Zhao Zhao, take your time. Cultivation can't be rushed. I cultivated because I had my previous power, so it wasn't all by myself, but rather..."
He gave an analogy: "It's like, I was originally at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Although my cultivation level has decreased in this life, I still have previous cultivation experience and memories, so I will recover quickly."
"Your cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage back then, so it's normal that your cultivation speed is slow now."
"Huh? That low?!"
She had considered that her cultivation level was low ten thousand years ago, but she never expected it to be this low!
Thinking back to that time and looking at the present, with my Golden Core cultivation level and slow progress, I can finally let it go.
Qi Yan is right, take it slow.
With more than ten days' journey still to the Imperial City of Supreme City, Qi Yan casually caught a Gale Tiger along the way to use as a means of transportation.
The two rode on the back of the Gale Tiger. The Gale Tiger, who had never worked before, finally experienced what it meant to be oppressed and exploited by capitalists.
No, can't you catch another monster? Are you just going to let me, a tiger, wreak havoc?
The Supreme City and what Yun Zhao saw in the illusion created by Granny Nightmare were no different, even the conditions for entering the city were the same as in the illusion.
Yun Zhao took Fu Guang out, held it in his arms, and together with Qi Yan, they successfully passed through the identification mirror.
The two temporarily settled in an inn. According to Qi Yan, ten thousand years ago, the royal family of Wushang City stood in a tripartite balance with the four major families. The royal family, represented by him, was outwardly friendly but inwardly hostile to the four major families, though they maintained a superficial relationship.
They sat in the inn's lobby and, in no time, heard everything about the royal family and the four great families of Wushang City.
With the royal family in decline, this current Demon Emperor is practically a mascot; the fate of the Demon Realm is entirely determined by the four major families.
Of course, the guests at the inn didn't say that; it was Yun Zhao who came up with the conclusion.
Yun Zhao rested his chin on his hands: "So, the declaration of war against the human race was the work of the four great families?"
"I wonder what role the royal family plays in all this. By the way, Ayan, who is the current royal family to you? You two should be related by blood, right?"
Qi Yan thought back for a moment, "I am an orphan, raised by my clan. I snatched the position of Demon Emperor from someone else. Back then, the position of Demon Emperor was held by the most capable. Whoever was the strongest could get that position."
"I severed the passage between the human and demon realms, thus preserving the demon realm. The later Demon Emperor should have been someone from my clan, right?"
He's not the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay kindness. He should speak up openly when he does good deeds. Why hide it?
After listening to the news in the main hall for a while, the two confirmed that the current Demon Emperor was indeed from the Wolf Clan.
Yun Zhao nudged Qi Yan: "A Yan, what are you thinking? Do you want to help the Demon Emperor?"
They are from the same clan, after all. It's pitiful that they are bullied like this by the four major families.
Qi Yan shook her head and then nodded. "After I became the Demon Queen, I gave a lot of resources to my clan to repay the kindness of my childhood. It can only be said that they are the ones who are bullied like this."
"Of course, if there are hidden reasons, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand."
Yun Zhao knew that Qi Yan was ultimately thinking of the way his clan had raised him when he was young.
She nodded. "Okay, let's get some rest tonight and investigate again tomorrow."
The two returned to their respective rooms. After Qi Yan closed the door, he stood in front of the window, where a small paper crane rested in his palm.
The current Supreme City is not the Supreme City he remembers. He is unsure whether the royal family has joined forces with the four major families to eliminate him, the former Demon Emperor.
His power has returned, but his cultivation level hasn't kept up. If they join forces, Qi Yan isn't sure if he can protect Yun Zhao from the siege of so many experts.
"Go, tell them I'm back."
"He must already know I'm here..."
