Ye Xiao said indifferently: "I am not your father. If you want a spirit stone, go find your father."
The man was stunned for a moment and then immediately raged, "How dare you tease me!"
With that said, he immediately circulated spirit energy and the gigantic axe in his hand transformed into countless afterimages as he slashed towards Ye Xiao.
This was a Late Stage Immortal King expert. With just one strike of his axe, it was as if he was about to tear someone apart.
Ye Xiao used the Spirit Devour Escape and nimbly dodged the axe.
"You still want to hide?" The sturdy man was enraged. The axe in his hand hacked towards Ye Xiao once again.
But suddenly, at this moment, the sound of a horn could be heard from afar.
In the distance, battleship after battleship appeared in the sky. They were waving their flags and beating their drums.
The man's expression changed: "South Demon Alliance's patrol ship!"
"Brat, today is your lucky day!" Without the slightest hesitation, the man immediately fled.
It wasn't just this man, quite a few demonic cultivators and demons began to madly run in the direction of the distant demon city.
From time to time, there would be loud noises coming from the battleship. As the cannon shot down, a few demonic cultivators and demons turned into ashes.
Ye Xiao's expression changed as he followed the group of demonic cultivators to the city.
"You crooked demons of the Northern Wasteland, all of you must die!" An angry shout came from the warship.
Following which, the battleships fired their cannons in unison and began their indiscriminate attacks. Rumbling sounds could be heard endlessly. When the cannons landed on a demon's body, regardless of their cultivation realm, they were all turned into ashes.
When the bombardment was over, those mighty warships stopped their attacks.
"You all listen carefully, I'll give you three days. If you don't open the city gates, we will slaughter the entire city!" The battleship made a threat and left.
There were already quite a few cultivators gathered outside the city.
"Why do you want to vent your anger on us because of the grudges between South Demon Alliance and Blood Demon Sect?"
"Those so-called demons of the South Demon Alliance are just a bunch of demons who only know how to bully the weak. I have never seen them deal with Blood Demon Sect, they only know how to fight against us demons of small demon cities!"
The demons were indignant but there was nothing they could do. If it wasn't for the defensive formation, they probably would have died a long time ago.
Ye Xiao disappeared into the crowd.
This city in the Northern Wasteland was nothing more than an unremarkable city. Ye Xiao found an inn.
The moment Ye Xiao entered the inn, the innkeeper started to size Ye Xiao up: "Immortal King Realm, not bad, are you here to watch the selection as well?"
"My Blood Demon Sect is not that easy to enter. Come back after three days. I don't have time to test your strength right now." Without waiting for Ye Xiao to speak, the innkeeper had already impatiently waved his hand and said.
Ye Xiao had already suppressed his cultivation base to the Late Stage of Immortal King Realm. He didn't want to reveal his cultivation base here for now.
Ye Xiao frowned: "Are you really busy?"
The innkeeper snorted and said, "Not really. It's just because the inspection room has been reserved. I advise you to wait."
"I've never heard of an inspection room with predetermined rules." Ye Xiao shook his head and said.
On the way here, Ye Xiao had been searching for information on the Blood Demon Sect.
If he wanted to enter the Blood Demon Sect so that he could use the Blood Pool there to cultivate the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, he has to first pass the trial here.
Moreover, the trial was only the beginning, there were other challenges he has to face before he could enter the Blood Demon Sect.
These inspection rooms were specifically used to test the strength of the new disciples in the Blood Demon Sect. This kind of place wasn't important in the first place, so how could there be a prearranged reserved room?
"This rule was set by me. Do you have any objections?" From behind Ye Xiao, a person suddenly walked out. It was a young man dressed in luxurious clothing. He held a fan in his hand and had a handsome face. But one could clearly sense a dense demonic aura emitting out from his body.
It was clear that this young man was also a demonic cultivator.
A group of demon servants followed behind him with unfriendly expressions.
"Oh, it's Master Dong Xuan, please come in!" Seeing the man in white enter, the innkeeper immediately put on a smiling face.
Dong Xuan clapped his hands and looked around in disdain: "If it wasn't for the selection test this time, I wouldn't even be willing to stay in your small stronghold."
The innkeeper nodded his head and bowed, "Yes, yes. Young Master Dong has made the decision. I have prepared an examination room for you."
Dong Xuan nodded then glanced at Ye Xiao and curled his lips: "The current Blood Demon Sect is getting more and more outrageous. Even such a mediocre demonic cultivator person would be recruited here."
"Yes, yes, yes, this lowly one will make him scram later!" The innkeeper laughed and immediately nodded his head.
At this time, a servant suddenly pointed at Ye Xiao: "Young Master, it's this kid that dared to reject me outside the city for a loan!"
That servant was actually the demonic cultivator whom Ye Xiao met outside the city.
Hearing that, Dong Xuan looked at Ye Xiao again: "To be able to receive a few of my servant's moves can be considered that you do have a little strength. Let him try his luck at the testing room."
After he finished speaking, Dong Xuan led a group of servants and entered the examination room.
The shopkeeper waited for them to finish and then looked at Ye Xiao with a cold smile: "Young Master Dong has done you a favour and let me give you a chance to enter an examination room. Hurry and get in."
Ye Xiao asked: "What is his background?"
"You look like you haven't seen the world and you are ignorant as well as ill-informed. Young Master Dong Xuan's father is one of the ten great demon generals under Master. Young Master Dong Xuan himself has outstanding talent." The innkeeper said proudly.
Ye Xiao said without any emotion: "Son of demon general, he doesn't look that strong to me."
"Humph! Do you know how many geniuses there are in the Northern Wasteland? The ones who can rank in the top one hundred are all rare geniuses! Young Master Dong ranked 30 among those genius demons."
The innkeeper suddenly said impatiently, "Why should I tell you this? You just need to know your own status. Hurry up and get in."
Ye Xiao thoughtfully nodded his head. Then he walked in front of the innkeeper and suddenly threw out a punch.
"You dare to attack me?" The shopkeeper sneered and a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body.
Who would have thought that this seemingly weak innkeeper was actually an Early Stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert?
"You dare to make a move here, you must have some guts!" The innkeeper protected his body and also threw a punch.
"Boom!"
The two fists smashed into each other. In the next moment, the innkeeper could be seen being sent flying and just happened to hit the wall of the inn. The entire wall trembled a few times.
Ye Xiao walked over and grabbed his collar.
"Firstly, no matter where I go, I don't need the charity of others, nor can you stop me. Second, if I want to kill you, it will be as easy as flipping my hand."
Saying this, Ye Xiao asked: "Do you understand?"
The innkeeper broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly nodded his head and replied fearfully, "I Understood."
Ye Xiao let go of his hands and directly walked into the inn. Previously, he had already made up his mind that no matter what, he'll never endure anything.
The innkeeper struggled to get up and a trace of malice flashed within his eyes.
"Little bastard, how dare you sneak attack me. I'll let you in today and I can guarantee that you'll not come out!" The innkeeper suddenly called an inn assistant over and whispered in his ear.
The inn assistant was shocked as he said, "The 'Hell Difficulty' level is not in accordance with the rules."
The Hell difficulty of Demon General Trial was the most difficult test for their little stronghold. Generally speaking, only an expert at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm would challenge this level of difficulty.
The innkeeper's expression turned serious as he rebuked, "It's up to me to decide what I want to do. Hurry up and do it."
The shop assistant did not dare to resist and could only agree.
