After seemingly half a month of being in the void of the teleportation, Xu Zii and her companion began to feel the fluctuations of the space around them slow down.
Their figures were forcibly pulled out from the outside.
Dazzling sunlight rained down from above, and Xu Zii squinted as she surveyed her surroundings.
This place was also a city, bustling with an extraordinary prosperity, with many like Xu Zii, all erging from the Teleportation Array.
"Divine Demon City," Nine Skies spoke while looking around, his expression gradually turning cold.
"It seems you’re quite familiar with this place," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"I ca from the Divine Demon Battlefield, what do you think?" Nine Skies replied.
"Then it looks like we’ll have a lot less trouble," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Aren’t you curious about my identity?" Nine Skies asked, unable to hold back.
"No questions. You want to cooperate with , so there must be sothing you need from , and you will surely tell voluntarily," Xu Zii said with a smile, shaking her head.
"Let’s find an inn, and I’ll tell you everything. We can make our plans," Nine Skies said, looking at Xu Zii.
"Any is fine," Xu Zii nodded.
The size of Divine Demon City far exceeded Xu Zii’s imagination, appearing to be even more vast and flourishing than Eternal Ancient City.
Moreover, it was almost impossible to see ordinary people and weaklings here; everyone was a powerhouse from Heaven Phenonon upwards.
Besides so Loose Cultivators, disciples from many great Sect Gates could also be seen everywhere.
Their robes were of distinctive styles and easy to recognize.
Xu Zii and her companion found an inn nearby and checked in.
…
This was an underground palace, black as pitch.
This place had never seen the light of day, all light had been expelled, with only darkness eternal.
Around the palace flowed a black river that drifted lazily in midair.
The river was pitch-black, concealing untold sins and darkness within.
It flowed slowly as if alive, devouring any creature that approached the palace in one gulp.
Anything that entered the river would never see the light of day again.
And now, within the palace in a grand hall,
Several netherworld flas ignited around, and an invisible oppressive force enveloped the space.
A group of people clad in black robes and black hats stood there, parted to each side.
Sitting at the head was also a person in a black robe, obscured in midair, their face indiscernible.
The people in black robes on either side all bowed their heads, none daring to look up.
After a long while, a figure in a black robe slowly entered the hall.
A deep voice broke the oppressive silence.
"A letter from the Cang Race, Granny Ming is dead, and the killer is strong."
"Incompetents, have the Cang Race been hidden for too long? Sothing happened in their establishnt, and this is all they have to report?" a voice echoed within the hall.
It was unclear who spoke, the voice seeming to co from all around.
"It seems that their Dust World people are also dead. They say they are preparing to summon the Cang God," the person beneath replied.
Upon hearing this, silence fell within the grand hall for a long ti.
After a while, that voice sounded again.
"Summon the Cang God? Looks like soone with quite a background, from which Sect Gate?"
"It seems to be from the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect."
"A re Imperial Sect dares to offend us?"
After this voice fell, another voice followed in the grand hall.
"A strongest of the Imperial Sect is only at lting Heaven level, how could they possibly kill Granny Ming, this kind of being? Use your head and think properly."
"It doesn’t have much to do with the Imperial Sect—this disciple seems sowhat peculiar, we can’t find too much information about him.
The Cang Race suggests that unless we ask the Youming Divine King to co into the world, we might as well not go over and throw our lives away."
"Ask our ancestor? I think they are just scared out of their wits."
"After all, Granny Ming is of the direct lineage; I’ll report this matter truthfully to the ancestor and wait for the ancestor to make a decision."
As the last voice in the great hall fell, although the voice was very light, the nurous discussions inside the hall instantly quieted down.
Not a single person dared to object.
...…
After Xu Zii and Jiuyou arrived at the inn.
Xu Zii smiled and said, "Now you can tell ."
"Actually, I’m a pursuer of the remnants of the Divine Race," Jiuyou said with a sowhat tragic smile.
"It must have been about a hundred years ago, I mistakenly entered a forbidden land, discovered their secret, and thus was hunted.
And my family, including friends, were all executed by them in the end; when I return to the Divine Demon Battlefield, it’s to seek revenge."
"Them? Who are you referring to?" Xu Zii asked.
"The higher-ups among our remnants," Jiuyou said sarcastically.
"They use the hopes of people like us, under the guise of reviving the Divine Race, to satisfy their unspeakable aims."
"What do you an?" Xu Zii asked.
"You know, remnants, no matter what, will never be the true Divine Race; we only have a faint trace of Divine Race blood in us," Jiuyou said.
"And those high ranks are using people like us to conduct endless experints, hoping that one day they can truly transform and beco mbers of the Divine Race.
Later, I accidentally discovered them, and they wanted to kill to silence ."
"A group that no longer belongs to this era, still fantasizing about restoring their forr glory," Xu Zii laughed.
"That’s also the reason you’re cooperating with ."
"If you want to open the Demon Summoning Bell in your hands, you must take advantage of the power of those people," Jiuyou said.
"You and the Divine Race are destined to be enemies, so the enemy of my enemy is also a friend."
"I don’t really care, anyone who blocks my path must die," Xu Zii said.
"Since you erged from the ruins, you must also know the location of the headquarters, right?"
"We don’t have a fixed headquarters; we are just wandering around the Divine Demon Battlefield," Jiuyou shook her head.
"It’s been so long, I’m not certain, but we have a few fixed resting places, I can take you to have a look."
"Then let’s go, I just happen to want to see this so-called Divine Demon Battlefield," Xu Zii said with a smile.
...
Divine Demon City was established based on the Divine Demon Battlefield, and it’s specifically for those who go to the Divine Demon Battlefield to rest.
Broadly speaking, there is no City Lord here, no ruler.
It’s more like a city built together by everyone.
Although there are no rules to speak of, anyone who can open a shop here has a reputation that’s not to be trifled with, a top-tier existence.
Therefore, no one dares to really make trouble within the city, to fight.
Xu Zii and Jiuyou left the inn and headed straight for the city outskirts.
This Divine Demon City is very vast, and the city is divided into northern and southern areas.
In the north, there is a statue of the Divine Race, while in the south, there is a statue of the Demon Race.
Xu Zii and her companion left from the south, and Xu Zii slowed her pace in the plaza of the Demon Race statue.
He lifted his head and looked; the Demon Race statue was lifelike, as if its gaze t his.
