Chapter 393: Demon Clan Border!
Where the Demon Clan was located was not the same as the place he had previously gone through Chen Sisi's teleportation array.
That place belonged to the Demon Clan military region and remained a mystery to this day.
The location of the Demon Clan, however, was different.
Unlike the Undead, which were only recently revived, the Demon Clan had existed in the World for a long time.
Although they were defeated by the Human Clan when they competed for the position of World overlord.
But the Demon Clan did not suffer a large-scale rout, retaining a large amount of power and returning to the Demon Abyss.
Demon Abyss.
This was the current location of the Demon Clan.
Although the character meant abyss, its scope was extremely vast, covering an area as large as half of the Dragon Flame Empire.
There were many Demon Clan cities, and a large number of Demon Clan lived within them.
However, this large number was only relative; compared to Humans, the number of Demon Clan was not large.
There were currently only about ten million Demon Clan existing in the World, most of whom had no combat power. The Demon Clan's army mainly relied on their affiliated creatures.
Demon King City.
It was the largest city in the Demon Abyss and the place where the Demon King resided.
Li Xiang's destination was Demon King City.
He had come on this trip to invite Chen Sisi to establish a teleportation magic array for the Human Clan and to clear out the teleportation magic arrays set up by the Undead near Wu Shuang City.
Even if Chen Sisi herself agreed to such a request, Li Xiang would not let her leave with him to do this.
The relationship between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan had always been extremely cold. If she could not get the Demon King's approval, Chen Sisi would inevitably face punishment after helping him, this much was certain.
The airship could not reach Demon King City directly, or rather, even if the route could reach it directly, it would be intercepted and shot down when passing through Demon Clan cities along the way.
Therefore, the airship stopped in front of a city at the very edge of the Demon Abyss.
Karoda City.
This city was both the outermost city of the Demon Abyss and a fortress.
Guarding the Demon Clan, a large number of Demon Clan soldiers were stationed here.
The appearance of the airship immediately attracted a team of Demon Clan soldiers.
Li Xiang walked directly out of the airship.
Seeing that he was a Human, the Demon Clan soldiers immediately surrounded Li Xiang, and a Captain walked out from among them.
He looked at Li Xiang cautiously, "Human... what business do you have coming to the Demon Abyss?"
In his perception, Li Xiang was exuding a terrifying aura all over his body. This Human was not someone he could resist.
Li Xiang took out a token. This was the token Chen Sisi had given him when he saw her for the last time before leaving the Dragon Flame Empire.
Seeing the token was like seeing Chen Sisi.
Li Xiang did not know Chen Sisi's current status within the Demon Clan.
But after knowing the power of a Title Holder, Li Xiang was very clear that in any force, a Title Holder was a top-tier existence!
Seeing the token, the Demon Clan Captain took it doubtfully. After examining it carefully for a while, he said uncertainly, "This is... a Priestess token..."
Li Xiang looked at him, "It seems you don't recognize this thing. Take it back and let your City Lord have a look. He will know what it is."
The Demon Clan Captain sized up Li Xiang, "Human, report your name."
"Qu Ming."
"Qu Ming?!"
The Demon Clan Captain was slightly puzzled. He ordered his soldiers to surround Li Xiang and kill him without question if Li Xiang showed any intention of making a move. Then, he quickly headed towards the city with the token.
On the city wall, many Demon Clan Guards were watching this side, fully prepared for battle.
...
Before long, the departing Demon Clan Captain returned, "The City Lord wants to see you, come with me."
"Thank you."
Surrounded by a group of Demon Clan soldiers, Li Xiang followed behind the Demon Clan Captain and entered the city.
The streets of the Demon Clan were very different from those of the Human Clan, quite retro, but there were many daily necessities like magic items.
In terms of magical attainment, the Demon Clan's attainment was even higher than that of the Human Clan...
Benefiting from the Demon Clan's longer lifespan and their inherently superior magical talent compared to Humans, there were many magic-based professions among the Demon Clan, and most could successfully become Elite existences.
Walking on the street, Li Xiang was also being watched by the Demon Clan populace.
Many Demon Clan had been in the Demon Abyss since birth and did not understand Humans.
The appearance of these Demon Clan was very different from that of Chen Sisi.
Although Chen Sisi was Demon Clan, apart from her blood-red eyes, there were no obvious differences in her other external features compared to Humans.
These Demon Clan, however, were different. They basically all had horns, the difference being only in the size of the horns.
A Demon Clan soldier saw Li Xiang looking around and said fiercely to Li Xiang, "Human, are you trying to steal the secrets of my Demon Clan? If you dare to look around again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
Li Xiang withdrew his gaze, "Sorry, I just felt that the Demon Clan is not as backward as I previously understood. On the contrary... in many places, their living quarters are more sound and complete than those of the Human Clan."
Seeing Li Xiang praise the Demon Clan's construction, the Demon Clan soldier's tone also softened, "Of course! If my Demon Clan ruled the World, it would definitely be much better than you greedy Humans!"
Li Xiang smiled and said nothing more.
Soon, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
A butler-like Demon Clan was waiting at the entrance. Escorted by the Demon Clan Captain, he led Li Xiang into the City Lord's Mansion.
...
The City Lord of Karoda City was a burly Demon Clan. Just looking at his eyes gave off a powerful deterrent force.
When he came, Li Xiang learned some relevant knowledge about the Demon Clan.
Due to its special geographical location and its importance as a protective barrier for the Demon Clan, the City Lord Hefu of Karoda City was extremely strong. Although he had not yet reached the level of a Title Holder, he should not be underestimated.
Check attributes.
"Ding! Because the target used a skill to shield perception, attributes cannot be viewed."
Heluo stared at Li Xiang, "Human Clan brat... presumptuously prying into the strength of a powerful person is rude behavior."
Li Xiang bowed slightly and performed a bow, "Qu Ming, City Lord of Zhushen City of the Dragon Flame Empire. I have long admired the name of City Lord Hefu, and seeing you today is truly extraordinary."
"You are that Qu Ming who killed Undead General Latu Deng?!"
Li Xiang nodded, "That would be me."
Heluo took out Chen Sisi's token, "Where did you get this token?"
Li Xiang smiled slightly, "The token of a Title Holder, the Space Collapser. Do you think I could have gotten it from somewhere else?"
Heluo's brows furrowed slightly. With a casual toss, he threw the token to Li Xiang, "Go back. You cannot see Chen Priestess."
Li Xiang looked at him, "Can you tell me the reason?"
Heluo's brows furrowed even deeper. He dismissed all the surrounding Demon Clan.
Li Xiang was puzzled.
Heluo stared at Li Xiang, "For you, a Human, to be able to obtain this token, it seems the rumors are true."
Rumors?
Li Xiang was even more confused.
Heluo looked at Li Xiang, "You don't know?"
Li Xiang shook his head, "I came here for two things. One is to see Chen Sisi, and the second is to ask for her help."
Heluo snorted coldly, "As expected, Humans are all inferior races who won't get up early without benefit!
Chen Priestess has been imprisoned in the Demon Cave for dozens of days. One day in the Demon Cave is a hundred days in the outside World. She is enduring endless torment in the Demon Cave because of you, yet you don't even know what happened to her?!
Get out! Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, even if you are an existence capable of killing a Title Holder, I will kill you!"
Li Xiang was a bit stunned.
Imprisoned in the Demon Cave because of him?!
Although he didn't know what the Demon Cave was, when Heluo mentioned the Demon Cave, there was clear fear in his pupils.
One day in the Demon Cave, a hundred days in the outside World...
More than a month had passed since he left the Dragon Flame Empire until now.
Wouldn't that be equivalent to over three thousand days...
"City Lord Hefu, please introduce me to the Demon King!"
"Human Clan brat! Don't be presumptuous! I said I would kill you next time I see you, which doesn't mean I won't touch you this time!"
Li Xiang directly removed all the equipment on his body, "City Lord Hefu has resentment in his heart. If you want to kill me, I will let you kill me, but I need to know the whole story.
If you don't kill me, please let me see the Demon King..."
Heluo raised his hand, and surging power converged in his hand, suddenly blasting towards Li Xiang.
Li Xiang did not dodge at all, nor did he put his equipment back on, he just looked at Heluo with determined eyes.
The fist stopped before Li Xiang's head. The surging demonic energy caused Li Xiang's hair to dance wildly.
"You... why didn't you dodge?!"
Li Xiang still did not speak, just looked at him.
After the two stared at each other for a full minute, Heluo withdrew his fist, "I, Heluo, never kill enemies who have no power to resist..."
Seeing the Demon King is impossible. I am just a City Lord guarding the border. To see the Demon King, the Demon King must give the order for me to return. I cannot leave without permission."
Li Xiang bowed again, "Please, City Lord Hefu, help me!"
Heluo fell silent.
After a while, he turned around, "I'll give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will pursue and kill you.
The West City Gate will change Guards in another 5 minutes, which is the weakest moment for defense. After leaving the city, there is a river three kilometers south. There is a secret passage at the bottom of the river that only I know about. Through the secret passage, you can reach Bukenzi City, which is closest to Demon King City..."
After saying this, he let out a long breath, "If you can't save Chen Sisi, the next time I see you, you will surely die!"
Li Xiang was moved, bowed deeply, "Farewell!"
...
Sensing that Li Xiang had left the City Lord's Mansion, Heluo turned around. The majesty and fierceness in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a hint of tenderness and guilt, "They all say the Demon Clan is heartless... but my body is unharmed, yet I feel a heart-piercing pain...
Chen Sisi, this is all your uncle can do for you..."
