Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Ling Feng, the two mbers of the Demon Clan knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to lift their heads.
In the Demon Clan, hierarchy is strict. To them, soone like Ling Feng, who appears identical to a human, naturally signifies a high-level Demon Clan mber with extrely noble blood.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that he had successfully deceived these two demons, Ling Feng slightly retracted his aura and slowly said, "What are your nas?"
"Responding to the lord, the little one’s na is Holf, and he is my servant, Nade."
The relatively young-looking demon boy gazed at Ling Feng with eyes full of admiration and excitent, saying, "May I ask from where the lord hails? You do not seem to be a noble of our Kloy City."
"Kloy City, huh?"
Ling Feng pursed his lips, silently thinking: It turns out there’s a city where the Demon Clan gathers here.
"I am not from the Demon Clan of this plane, rely stumbled into this place from a chaotic space!"
Ling Feng kept a straight face and made up a story.
"So, you are a high-level Demon Clan from the outside world. No wonder we have not seen such a noble demon as you here in Kloy City!"
The demon boy nad Holf said excitedly, "Lord, you must go see our City Lord; it will be the supre honor for our Kloy City!"
"Hmm!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "Alright, I have so matters I wish to ask your City Lord."
"Yes!"
Holf showed excitent on his face and imdiately ordered his servant, "Nade, quickly lead the way!"
Hearing his master’s order, the demon wielding a stick imdiately sprinted ahead. Holf turned back to salute Ling Feng, courteously saying, "Lord, please follow !"
As they moved forward, the surroundings remained desolate, with few demons seen except for so obstructive monsters.
Ling Feng couldn’t help but express his curiosity, "Holf, why are demons so sparse here?"
Holf sighed and slowly said, "Lord, you may not know, this plane is actually a chaotic space between Demon Domain and the Human World. In ancient tis, we were expelled from the Human World by the hateful Immortal Clan. Although most demons returned to the Demon Domain, so, like us in Kloy City, were squeezed into this chaotic space between two worlds, neither belonging to the Human World nor the Demon Domain."
Ling Feng pondered for a mont and slowly said, "The life force of demons is so tenacious; should they fall into this space, they should quickly dominate and proliferate, shouldn’t they?"
"That was indeed the case initially, but do you see the twelve Demon Stars in the sky?"
Holf pointed to the strange stars in the sky and said solemnly.
Ling Feng was curious, "What does it have to do with these Demon Stars?"
"Demon Stars are the source of power for demons. Although this space is a cross-section of two domains, it also has Demon Stars, making it initially a very suitable place for demons to survive. However, because demons are inherently bellicose and these Demon Stars further stimulate the ferocity in our bloodline, those demons who fall here started fighting crazily to seize the position of the lord. This war went on for hundreds of years, and eventually, only so low-level demons who are not good at fighting remained."
"Later on, for so unknown reason, the Demon Stars in this world all dimd and beca irrelevant, our power gradually weakened. After millions of years, we, the still struggling demons, continued to degenerate. Coupled with the disturbance from those monsters, only a small portion of demons still remain, all gathered in Kloy City. So outside of Kloy City, of course, you rarely see other demons."
"Thanks to the great demon god’s protection, it allowed you, lord, to arrive in ti and save us!"
At this point, Holf looked at Ling Feng with imnse respect and excitent and said, "Lord, I believe you must be the Savior of our Kloy City, the Savior who will lead us back to the Demon Domain!"
"..."
Ling Feng secretly chuckled within; he hardly had an interest in becoming the Savior of these demons.
Fortunately, those demons are constantly degenerating. If they were constantly evolving, this space connected with the Xuanling Continent; if those monsters entered the Human World, wouldn’t it be another war between humans and demons?
After a long journey, Ling Feng finally saw a not-so-grand city ahead, surrounded by a simplistic stone wall four or five ters high, used to fend off the Demon Clan eyeing them covetously.
Overall, the civilization level of this city is roughly equivalent to so primitive tribes. Most residents of the Demon Clan dwell directly in caves, and only those with relatively noble bloodlines qualify to live in extrely simple stone chambers.
"Lord, this is our Kloy City. I will take you to see the City Lord; I’m sure she will be very pleased to see your arrival!"
Under Holf’s guidance, Ling Feng quickly entered the city. Most gatekeeping demons were monstrous-looking creatures, and it was only inside Kloy City that he occasionally saw demons sowhat resembling humans, mostly wearing simple linen to cover key parts.
So smaller ones were about the size of squirrels, and among them were so carrying huge stone pillars, similar to Giant Demons, but they appeared sowhat more naive compared to the fierce image in Ling Feng’s mind.
Many demons greeted Holf upon his return, and when they saw a grave-faced individual following him, they were quite curious.
"Holf, who is this guy? He looks so stern!"
"He kind of looks like the legendary human, but why would there be humans in Kloy City?"
"Idiot! Fool!"
Holf stood in front of Ling Feng, loudly reprimanding, "You ignorant fools, you are not allowed to point fingers at the lord. He is an exceedingly noble Great Demon, a lord from the true Demon Domain!"
"From the Demon Domain?"
"My God, is he really a Great Demon? Holf, you better not be bragging!"
"Hahaha, Holf always likes to brag!"
A group of Demon Clan mbers loudly teased, so even whistled.
"You! You all!"
Holf’s face turned bright red from anxiety: "Who’s bragging here? You’ll soon find out that this lord will beco our Savior!"
Saying this, Holf turned to Ling Feng with a look of reverence, "Lord, could you please release a little bit of your aura? Let these ignorant fools witness what true Great Demon strength is!"
Ling Feng was secretly curious in his heart; these demons, though strange in shape, seed completely different from those recorded in historical texts about demons.
Could Outer Heaven Demons really be as humans perceive, all man-eating demons?
Ling Feng suddenly recalled the Demon Clan Queen Kevli; he had agreed to cooperate with her before purely out of expediency. He was still concerned that Kevli might have ulterior motives, simply using him, and once he released her, it might lead to an uncontrollable situation.
But now, he suddenly felt he might need to reassess this Demon Clan Queen and shouldn’t view Kevli with preconceived bias. Perhaps she might be a good ally.
