After pondering for a mont, Lu Ye imdiately turned around and left the Demon Saint Plaza.
Returning to the guesthouse, he saw the attendant who was busy cleaning the back hall. Lu Ye thought for a mont and spoke up.
"Hey, attendant..."
Hearing his call, the attendant paused, put down his work, and ca out to inquire.
"Guest, you’re back so soon. Is there sothing you need?"
Seeing no one around, Lu Ye directly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the attendant.
"I have so matters and need your help to clarify sothing. I’m new here and worried that I’ll unknowingly offend the Demon Race, which wouldn’t be good."
Hearing this, the attendant nodded deeply in agreent and said.
"The guest is right. If you offend them, it can indeed be troubleso."
"For instance, a while ago, there was a mber of the Human Race who reportedly offended the most beloved princess of the Celestial Wolf Demon King in the Celestial Wolf territory. He’s now being wanted across the whole region! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I’ll tell you what I know."
Lu Ye: "..."
Why do I hear about myself wherever I go?
As for the silver, the attendant initially declined.
However, Lu Ye insisted, and the smile on the attendant’s face grew wider.
"I was feeling bored and went around the Demon Saint Stele Plaza. I found that it’s already being guarded."
"Doesn’t this an that, during this period, those who want to enter the rankings can’t do so?" Lu Ye asked.
Hearing this, the attendant waved his hand and said: "Hey, it’s always been like this for years, and everyone is used to it."
Apparently, the silver Lu Ye gave had an effect. Glancing outside, the attendant whispered.
"This is a grand event of the Demon Race that happens once every five years. Many powerful demon clans are here now. Who dares to oppose? Whether used to it or not, one has to adapt..."
These words were blunt yet reasonable.
From other Human Race cultivators not opposing, it’s evident that this Demon Saint Province demon race event, which has continued for many years, has reached a consensus.
Lu Ye asked, "How long will this guarding and precaution last?"
If it’s going to be a long ti, Lu Ye plans to leave Demon Saint City for a while to cultivate elsewhere and co back later.
Thinking it over, the attendant said: "Based on past years, adding the initial three days, it should last about five to six days."
"The young generation of the Demon Race is quite nurous, and for each clan wanting to queue up to sense the higher realm, it would take at least two to three days to complete."
"Thank you, attendant, for clarifying." Nodding, Lu Ye cupped his hands again towards the attendant.
Then he returned to his room.
The lower-grade guest room wasn’t spacious, and naturally, its living conditions weren’t as luxurious as the upper-grade ones.
The room lighting wasn’t great either, with only a small street-facing window.
Through the window, he took a quick glance at the street, and just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he saw a group approaching from the distant street.
This seems to be... a group of Spirit Cat Race mbers?
At a glance, they looked almost like normal Human Race.
But the tails and ears behind them made the distinction from Humans pretty evident.
"Spirit Cat Race? Interesting."
These Spirit Cat mbers, male and female, all looked decent, with agile bodies and light steps.
After a couple of glances, Lu Ye withdrew his gaze.
Since the precaution would last five to six days, Lu Ye decided to spend the nights outside Demon Saint City during these days.
During the day, he would return to the guesthouse to observe the dynamics within the city.
Lu Ye was also sowhat curious about this so-called grand event of the Demon Race.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed quickly.
As his resources dwindled, Lu Ye faintly felt himself getting closer and closer to the barrier of Earth Realm Grandmaster.
On the third day, which was also the day before the official start of the Demon Race gathering.
Today, Demon Saint City saw myriad demon clans entering from ti to ti.
Among them were the silhouettes of powerful demon kings equivalent to the Earth Tier Grandmaster.
A mont later, Lu Ye, sitting by the window, suddenly narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming playful.
Because... on the distant street, a familiar person appeared.
The Celestial Wolf clan’s entourage!
The leading figure was precisely the Celestial Wolf Princess, who had suffered at Lu Ye’s hands before.
By now, Lu Ye already knew this Celestial Wolf Princess was nad Qin Qingqing.
At the sa ti, Qin Qingqing, who was walking down the street, happened to sweep her gaze across towards Lu Ye.
However, Lu Ye did not et her gaze, quickly stepping back and disappearing from the window.
Qin Qingqing, sowhat puzzled, felt that silhouette seed a bit like... the person she’d intercepted once in their territory.
What was his na again...
A mont later, Qin Qingqing slapped her forehead, finally recalling.
Back then, he said his na was Lu Yan?
The newly ranked top ten of the Demon Saint Stele List!
The very sa one who pushed her clan brother Qin Batian down the list.
Because of the surprising rise of Lu Yan, Qin Batian had been shut away for quite so ti now.
And has already declared, the next ti he erges, will be for the ranking challenge!
"He’s here too?"
This newly erged top ten of the Demon Saint Stele had sparked a lot of discussion in Demon Saint Province lately.
After all, being in the top ten, none of them were simple characters.
"Princess, who are you talking about?" At this mont, a Celestial Wolf Elder beside her asked.
"It’s nothing, just saw an acquaintance." Realizing, Qin Qingqing shook her head.
For these grand gatherings of the Demon Race, most clans would dispatch their strongest to attend.
The Celestial Wolf Race was no different.
However, the Celestial Wolf Demon King was montarily occupied, so Qin Qingqing led the group into Demon Saint City first. He would arrive by the afternoon.
Monts later, Qin Qingqing led the team away from the street, heading to a palace complex within the city.
As one of the top elite forces in Demon Saint Province, the Celestial Wolf Race naturally didn’t need to stay in an inn but had a dedicated palace courtyard.
...
A few hours later, in the guesthouse.
Lu Ye was in his room, continuing to cultivate the advanced Illusory Destruction Yin Yang Finger.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended onto Demon Saint City.
A faint bloody aura saturated the sky over the city!
Such blatant aura made most of the people in Demon Saint City sense it, all looking up towards the sky.
In the sky now appeared a Spirit Beast Chariot, surrounded by the Blood Evil Power, as if revealing a sea of corpses and blood!
"Such a strong aura, even Earth Realm Grandmasters might not reach this level. Is this... a Celestial Realm Grandmaster Level demon king?!"
With this thought, Lu Ye’s pupils slightly contracted.
He recalled once probing two existences at Celestial Wolf Mountain, which were rely Earth Realm strength.
Yet this aura was evidently stronger than Celestial Wolf Mountain!
"A Tier Seven Demon King, likely at the peak of Demon Saint Province..."
It’s unknown whether this Tier Seven, comparable to a Celestial Realm Grandmaster demon king, had begun mastering a Domain.
anwhile, in the palaces housing many of the powerful clans in Demon Saint Province, demons were either shocked or indifferent.
In the Celestial Wolf Race courtyard.
Qin Qingqing looked up at the bloody aura covering about half of Demon Saint City and couldn’t help but smirk.
"This Blood Snake Race, how ostentatious. Knowing full well the clans have an agreent that without incident, they can’t cover Demon Saint City with their aura. Yet here he is, applying pressure over the whole city from the sky."
