The woman had the face of a woman waiting to be harvested by her king, one that few men could resist. After all, she was not only beautiful, she also had an excellent figure. Her revealing outfit also helped to further enhance her allure.
Looking at the woman, Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "Big sister, you are really pretty. In all honesty, I find you very attractive. But tonight is really not the time for it."
He was making it clear he would not touch her tonight. Doing so would cost him the chance to become the Yu Clan's son-in-law. In fact, more than half of the people here were not affected by the seduction either. After all, these were the geniuses of their respective organizations. If they did not have the willpower to resist such a temptation, they wouldn't have reached such a cultivation level at such a young age.
Only a small number of them couldn't control themselves and went to the cabin with the women in their embrace. As for those who remained, they started conversing among themselves, preparing for their journey to the Devil Domain.
A few people had expressed interest in forming an alliance with Di Tong. They were all the representatives of their respective organizations. Forming a friendly relationship with each other would be of great help to them in the future.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, apart from befriending Huo Xudong, he did nothing else. It was not that he did not want to befriend the others, but they all looked down on him. In fact, they were treating him with hostility. Since that was the case, he couldn't be bothered to try.
However, he kept noticing Tang Longfei looking his way intentionally or otherwise. From the look in his eyes, he could see that Tang Longfei was intentionally paying attention to him. However, he couldn't remember where he had met Tang Longfei before no matter how hard he tried.
The night passed quickly, and the women finally left. Yu Caidie reappeared before them. After treating everyone to a meal of some spirit fruits, she said, "We will be heading to the Devil Domain right now. Is everyone ready?"
Many of them nodded. Thus, the group left the Yu Moon Pavilion, called their respective mounts over, and set off. It did not matter whether they were willing to follow Yu Caidie's command or work alone later since they still needed to head over together.
This was also the time for all the geniuses to show off their background. Their mounts served as one of the symbols of their status. As they called out, numerous Demon Kings flew over.
"Roar! Roar!"
Instantly, powerful Demon Kings flew toward the Yu Moon Pavilion from all directions. Of the mounts flying over were Long Yunfei's Demon King flood dragon, Xie Gongzi's Devil King beast, Di Tong's Demon King luan bird, Tang Longfei's golden lion, and many other beasts. They were all either high-level Demon Kings or mutated Demon Kings. Not one was an ordinary beast. Among these mounts, Tang Longfei's lion mount was the most eye-catching.
Xiang Shaoyun was the only one who had not called a mount over. He was supposed to bring Jin Wo with him, but since they were not allowed to bring Emperors along, he had to give up on that plan.
At this time, Yu Caidie's crisp voice rang out, "Feng'er, come here."
At her voice, a multicolored beam of light shot out from inside the Yu Moon Pavilion. The brilliant beam of light brightened the entire area. Soon, everyone saw a bright, multicolored phoenix land beside Yu Caidie. All of them were shocked, and even their mounts started stirring before lowering their haughty heads.
Phoenixes were a top-tier species among demonic beasts. Compared to these Demon King beasts, the bloodline of a phoenix was much higher in level and strength. They were comparable to the likes of top-tier demonic beasts such as true dragons, white tigers, and black tortoises. Their status among demonic beasts were evident.
None of them had expected that Yu Caidie would actually have a Demon King phoenix as her mount. That had surpassed all their expectations. One ought to know that a phoenix had unlimited potential and could very well become a terrifying existence no lower than the Demon Saint realm in the future.
The Yu Clan is indeed terrifying, exclaimed all the geniuses inwardly.
"Mister Xiang, do you not have a mount?" Yu Caidie asked.
Xiang Shaoyun was about to answer, but Su Jun interjected with a sneer, "Even if he has a mount, it is probably some worthless beast that won't be able to keep up with us. Holy Maiden, I think we should just leave him here."
"That's right. I agree," Di Tong said.
At this time, Huo Xudong said, "Brother Xiang, this way. We can travel on the same mount."
Huo Xudong's mount was a green-winged eagle that looked extraordinarily mighty and heroic. There was more than enough space on the mount for both of them.
Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and smiled. "It's ok. I still have a mount. Money, come out!"
At his command, a slender figure shot out. Nobody was able to see where the slender figure had appeared from. By the time they managed to get a clear look, a horned lightning snake had already appeared before them. This horned lightning snake was a Demon King, but it was too small in size to serve as a mount.
"Haha, a demonic snake like this serving as a mount? Is this a joke?" Su Jun started roaring with laughter.
The others also sneered at the sight of the horned lightning snake, thinking that Xiang Shaoyun was only doing this to save face. Even Yu Caidie had a look of pity on her face.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun had a completely nonchalant look as he said, "Go ahead. We will definitely be able to follow your pace. If we can't, I will voluntarily withdraw."
In truth, he was feeling rather depressed. After all, Money did look rather lacking compared to everyone else's mighty looking mounts. And with this happening in front of a woman he liked, he felt like burying his head in the ground in shame. Inwardly, he cursed, If only Little White is here. How will they be able to be so cocky with him here?
"Roar! Roar!"
Even the various Demon Kings were howling at Money with disdain in their eyes. Money seemed to have understood something. He scanned the crowd, opened his mouth, and hissed.
Hiss! Hiss!
Along with the hiss, dark clouds started gathering in the sky above. Unending thunderclaps rang out, as if lightning bolts were about to rain down at any moment. When everyone looked up, their expressions changed as they quickly and instinctively pulled some distance from Money. Sure enough, several silver lightning bolts suddenly shot down from the sky.
Rumble! Rumble!
Xiang Shaoyun, who was standing beside Money wasn't even given the time to react before he sensed silver lightning bolts shooting down from the sky above him. He quickly activated his Six Goldplate Manual.
These lightning bolts were much thicker than the ones that had appeared during Money's previous breakthrough. Not even late-stage Demon Kings could withstand the power contained within them. The expressions of the young geniuses and their mounts changed as they pulled even more distance from Money.
"These lightning bolts are silver? Are these mutated lightning bolts?"
"Yes, that is most likely the case. Otherwise, they won't be so powerful. Looks like this demonic snake is about to break through."
"From the power of the tribulation, this demonic snake is a decent beast. It is probably a mutated species, but I wonder what its form will be after the breakthrough."
"Xiang Shaoyun had just broken through to the fourth stage publicly yesterday, and today, his mount is doing the same. I reckon this can be quite a story to tell, but too bad his strength is still too lacking."
