Yang Kai didn’t ask her what she had done wrong, since it was none of his business. After a few casual words, he changed the subject and said, “It’s like this, this King has just arrived and is not familiar with the Demon Territory’s situation. I would like to ask if there is a map I can take a look at?”
“A map?” Xiao Wu thought for a moment before saying, “If Sir wants a map, you can ask the Saint Venerable. I’m sure the Saint Venerable has it.” The Saint Venerable she was referring to was probably Yu Rumeng.
Although the several Holy Spirits in the Wild Ancient Land called themselves Holy Venerable, in terms of ability and cultivation, they couldn’t be compared to Demon Saints. The so-called Holy Venerable they called each other were on completely different levels.
[Hoogs: They were called Saint Venerable, but since they were holy spirit, I use Holy Venerable.]
The corners of Yang Kai’s mouth twitched as he waved his hand, “Such a small matter, there’s no need to trouble the Saint Venerable.”
He also didn’t want Yu Rumeng to know what he was doing so that she wouldn’t become suspicious. Although the possibility of this happening was very low, it was best to be on guard.
Below, Xiao Wu thought for a moment before saying, “Then Sir can go to the Holy City to look for it, it should be for sale there
“Oh?” Yang Kai’s brow rose, “Is there someone selling them outside?”
Xiao Wu replied, “The Holy City has everything.”
Yang Kai grinned, “Good, then I’ll have to trouble you to take me out for a walk.”
“Sir wants to go out?” Xiao Wu looked up at Yang Kai in surprise before quickly lowering her head.
Yang Kai asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t I go out? Did the Saint Venerable instructed not to go out?”
“That’s not it…” Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before continuing, “But if Sir wants to leave, please allow me to ask the Saint Venerable.”
“Please don’t!” Yang Kai stepped down from his chair and strode out, “If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up. Follow me.”
Seeing him act so decisively, Xiao Wu couldn’t help feeling a little anxious, but it was already too late to stop him. She could only order the other maidservants to inform the Saint Venerable about Yang Kai’s movements while she quickly followed after him.
The two of them shuttled back and forth through the palace.
Although Yang Kai wasn’t familiar with this place, the last time he came here with Yu Rumeng, he had taken a brief note of the route. Now that he want to leave, he quickly left the palace with the original road before. The maids and guards he met along the way were all staring at him in amazement, whispering amongst themselves as he walked away, but none of them stopped him.
Outside the palace, there was a road that could accommodate more than a dozen carriages traveling side by side, leading to a bustling city a few kilometers away. From a distance, this city was no smaller than the Star Boundary's large city, and it was even larger.
There were eight gates in the city, one in the north, one in the south, one in the east, and one in the west. The city gates were majestic and the walls were tall.
Yang Kai was in front while Xiao Wu was behind him. After a few dozen kilometers, they arrived at the city gate.
Yang Kai was still a little worried about whether he, a human, would encounter any trouble after entering the city. After all, this was the Demon Territory, and the Demon Territory was not a place that was easy to visit. Although he was brought here by Yu Rumeng, not every Demon Race knew this.
However, when he arrived at the city gate, he found that he was thinking too much. Even though he was a human, and didn’t have any Demon Race characteristics, but as long as he didn’t use his strength, most Demon Race wouldn’t be able to discover any clues.
They had never seen a human before! Who knew what a human looked like? The Demon Race who had seen a human were all in the Star Boundary.
The reason why the demons in the palace were surprised by him was not because of his identity as a human, but because he was the man brought back by the Saint Venerable!
At the city gate, several fierce and powerful Demon Race guards stood guard, and all the passing Demon Race cultivators had to hand over something called a Demon Crystal to pass through.
The use of Demon Crystals in the Demon Territory was equivalent to the use of Source Crystal in the Star Boundary, both of which were hard currency.
Yang Kai naturally didn’t have any demon crystals, but he didn’t need to pay any.
When the few demons approached, Xiao Wu took out a token and waved it in front of them, causing them to respectfully withdraw.
After all, it was someone from the Saint Venerable's palace, so why would they need to pay any fees?
Such a calm and peaceful entrance caused a clamorous atmosphere to fill the air, causing Yang Kai to click his tongue in wonder. The Demon Race was bloodthirsty and warlike. He had thought that the Demon Race’s life here was very primitive, but now he knew that the Star Boundary and Demon Territory have some similarity. For example, this Holy City. There was a straight and wide road that ran through the north and south, and on both sides of the road, there was a dazzling array of shops. The streets were filled with people shouting, and bargaining.
If it weren’t for the Demon Race on the streets, Yang Kai would have thought he had returned to the Star Boundary.
“Sir!” Seeing him stand still, Xiao Wu called out softly from behind him.
“En,” Yang Kai replied casually before walking forward, looking around with interest.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard Xiao Wu’s cry behind him. Turning around, he saw Xiao Wu sitting on the ground, her hand clutching her shoulder, with a pained look on her face.
Not far behind, a burly Demon Race cultivator was walking as fast as he could, swaying left and right as he walked, causing the crowd in front of him to avoid him.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before immediately realizing what was going on. Moving his feet, he arrived behind the burly Demon Race master and slapped his shoulder.
The Demon Race cultivator’s body was knocked down and he immediately flew into a rage. Turning his head, he saw that there was no one behind him…
“Here!” Yang Kai’s face darkened as he looked up at him. Damn, this guy is too tall!
The Demon Race cultivator looked down and saw Yang Kai, who was two heads shorter than him, slowly turn around and breathe hot air into his nostrils, “What are you doing!”
Yang Kai raised his thumb and pointed behind him, “You knocked down my companion.”
The Demon Race cultivator looked down and saw Xiao Wu slowly getting up from the ground, grinning, “So what?”
“Apologize!” Yang Kai smiled back.
After the Demon Race youth laughed for a moment, he suddenly let out a thunderous laugh, his massive body trembling as if he had just heard the world’s best joke.
Xiao Wu hurried over and said in a panic, “Sir, I’m fine.”
She didn’t know what Yang Kai’s strength was, but she knew that this Demon Race man in front of her wasn’t someone to be trifled with. If Yang Kai were to get injured in a conflict with him, she would definitely be punished, so she naturally wanted to minimize the consequences.
“It’s not your business, you should apologize if you hit someone,” Yang Kai waved his hand at her, indicating for her to stay put.
Xiao Wu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Hearing Yang Kai’s words, the burly Demon Race youth coldly snorted, “So what if I don’t apologize?”
Yang Kai nodded lightly, “If you can’t make sense, i can only use my fists.”
The Demon Race’s eyes widened in surprise, “You want to hit me?”
“If you don’t apologize…”
The Demon Race cultivator laughed again, this time not just for himself, but also towards a group of passing Demon Race cultivators, “This little brat actually wants to beat me up.”
When the surrounding Demon Race cultivators heard this, all of them wore expressions as if they were just watching a show, all of them stopping to watch, some of them even shouting, “Beat him up!”
“Break his bones and pull out his intestines!”
“This guy’s skin is tender and his blood must be delicious!”
…
As the group of people continued to shout, the burly Demon Race man’s smile disappeared and he turned to Yang Kai with a fierce look, “If you want to hit me, I’ll hit you first!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his fists high and smashed them down towards Yang Kai’s head like a bolt of lightning. Such a tall and sturdy figure, with such a high and mighty stance, this strike was like a bolt of lightning, causing the air to crack.
As soon as he made his move, the surrounding Demon Race cultivators all became excited, as if they had seen something fun and couldn’t stop staring.
On the other hand, Xiao Wu shouted, “Sir, be careful!”
Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Although this Demon Race looked strong and sturdy, in reality, they were nothing more than Demon Chief Commander, equivalent to the Principle Source Stage of the Human Race, and at most a Second-Order Principle Source Stage master. Now, he had actually taken the initiative to attack him.
However, since the other party was already here, he naturally couldn’t let it go.
Lightly raising his hand to block the incoming fists, Yang Kai’s figure remained motionless while the ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered. With a slight push of his hand, Yang Kai sent out a kick towards the Demon Race’s ankle.
Before the burly Demon Race cultivator could react, his tall and sturdy body fell to the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Just as he was lost in thought, Yang Kai slowly crouched down in front of him, one hand grabbing his collar and the other punching out like the wind.
Boom boom boom…
In the blink of an eye, the burly Demon Race youth was beaten black and blue.
Behind him, Xiao Wu covered her mouth with her hand and stared at Yang Kai in shock.
The spectating Demon Race masters were also stunned, and their original shouts came to an abrupt halt, but soon, more excited shouts rang out, “Kill him! Kill him!”
“Smash his head and beat out his brain.”
“Dig out his Demon Heart, it must be delicious!”
…
Yang Kai looked around with a strange expression.
Suddenly, Yu Rumeng’s words flashed across his mind. In the Demon Territory, the stronger one was, the more correct one’s actions would be. If one was weak, everything they did would be wrong.
This experience was the best way to describe this sentence.
If they were in the Star Boundary, this kind of thing shouldn’t have happened. Even if there were conflicts and people would come to watch, they wouldn’t shout such bloody words and show such excitement.
The burly Demon Race cultivator no longer moved. Yang Kai’s dozens of punches, even if he didn’t use his full strength, still took half his life.
Rising to his feet, he sent the Demon Race cultivator flying before calling out to Xiao Wu, “Let’s go!”
When their eyes met, the corners of Yang Kai’s eyes twitched as he noticed that Xiao Wu was staring at him with a look of worship. It wasn’t just her, but all of the surrounding Demon Race cultivators who were watching the show also had looks of reverence on their faces, and many of them even smiled kindly at him.
This was the Demon Territory!
