588: Demons Arrive

After using the Cultivation Technique, partial information regarding that Holy Light flooded into his mind like a tide, becoming a part of his memory.

He also gained a deeper understanding of this technique.

Overall, this was a technique specifically targeting the Demon Race. By converting his own mana into Holy Light-like energy, he could strike at the Demon Race with that searing, bright power.

This was because the physical structure of the Demon Race was actually different from that of the Human Race.

Since they were nourished by the red sun all day long and survived by drinking human blood and devouring human flesh, their techniques leaned more towards the cold and yin category, making their entire bodies extremely sensitive to light-based power.

The founding Ancestral Master of the Saint Light Sect must have been extremely knowledgeable about the Demon Race to have created such a powerful technique.

The only pity was that this technique was incomplete, consisting only of the first half.

If he could obtain the second half, he might be able to unleash even more terrifying power.

"It seems I need to go back and properly investigate this Saint Light Sect," Zhou Luo thought to himself.

He didn't know much about this Saint Light Sect.

If he could find out where its ruins were, he might have a chance to find clues to the second half.

However, such things couldn't be forced; he would just let nature take its course.

In any case, this technique was just a transition; he might even draw a better Cultivation Technique later.

On the flying boat, Dragon Keyun sat silently with her knees bent. The flush on her face hadn't faded, and even her beautiful eyes were tinged with red.

She lowered her head, looking at the bottom of the boat, her heart racing like a panicked deer.

Logically, having been forced into an intimate act, she should be furious.

But for some reason, her heart was only filled with a dazed confusion, and she couldn't muster a shred of hatred toward Zhou Luo.

Perhaps it was because she knew this day would come sooner or later.

Or perhaps it was the influence of the Heavenly Passion Gu.

She didn't know.

...

Jiang City.

Following Zhou Luo's forceful intervention, the invaders had been completely wiped out.

With the help of the Tianxia Tavern, the entire city was steadily recovering.

Previously, although Hua Ruofeng had occupied the Zhou Family estate, he had only imposed martial law on other parts of the city and hadn't acted too excessively.

After all, by seizing the Zhou Family, he was merely changing the city's master; others naturally wouldn't have much objection.

Because it didn't have any impact on them.

But if he had moved against them, it would have directly harmed their interests.

In that case, if the entire city resisted him, it would greatly affect his control over the city.

So when Hua Ruofeng was dealt with, everyone immediately restored order.

However, the city's second-tier formation remained active.

The Zhou Family was strictly screening the identities of people entering and leaving to prevent a recurrence of past events.

And right at the city gate, two figures approached from outside.

Both looked like ordinary middle-aged Cultivators, with their hair tied up and plain features.

They walked openly into the crowd along with the flow of people.

They were none other than Demon Six and Demon Seven.

The two had originally come to investigate the cause of Demon Nine's death.

As it turned out, they didn't even need to actively investigate; they already knew who killed Demon Nine just by walking down the street.

It seemed that after Zhou Luo had tossed the head of the Demonic race creature to the Azure Origin Sect, perhaps out of dissatisfaction with his behavior, the Azure Origin Sect had directly spread word of the matter.

They claimed it was to praise him for his contribution to the Human Race.

In reality, they wanted to use him to draw the Demon Race's fire.

For other Immortals, Zhou Luo's killing of the Demon Race was entirely worth praising.

After all, the Demon Race was the irreconcilable enemy of the Human Race, beings that one would draw a blade against on sight.

Their hatred for the Demon Race was deeply etched into their bones.

So naturally, everyone was incredibly supportive of the matter, and combined with how miraculous Zhou Luo's deeds were, they spoke of him with great relish.

"A guy who just broke through to the Golden Core could kill Demon Nine?"

Listening to the discussions of those human Cultivators, Demon Six looked at Demon Seven in doubt.

The two were communicating via Divine Sense, so they didn't have to worry about being overheard.

"That Zhou Luo once obtained an Immortal Opportunity; perhaps he has some kind of powerful protective Magic Treasure," Demon Seven responded.

He had actually looked into Zhou Luo.

In his view, to kill Demon Nine, the opponent must have used a Magic Treasure-grade item to erupt with such terrifying power.

Above Spiritual Artifacts are Treasure Artifacts, and above Treasure Artifacts are Magic Treasures.

Those who possess Magic Treasures are often Nascent Soul Great Cultivators or even Soul Transformation experts.

If it were just a Treasure Artifact, it wouldn't be enough for a guy who just broke through to the Golden Core to kill Demon Nine.

"You think he can activate a Magic Treasure?" Demon Six still felt something was wrong.

This was normal.

The more powerful a treasure, the more terrifying the energy consumption to activate it.

How could a guy who just broke through to the Golden Core possibly activate a Magic Treasure-grade item?

Normally speaking.

Even if Demon Nine couldn't beat the opponent, with his many trump cards and methods, could he not even manage to escape?

Based on Demon Six's understanding of Demon Nine, his methods were definitely enough to prevent him from throwing his life away for nothing.

"Discussing this now is useless. The General wants us to quickly avenge Demon Nine and then head to Muyun State. Let's find Zhou Luo's location first," Demon Seven didn't want to waste time on such questions.

"No rush, we need to know exactly how he killed Demon Nine."

"What if there's a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator protecting him in the shadows?"

"Acting rashly will only lead us to follow in Demon Nine's footsteps."

Compared to Demon Seven's impatience, Demon Six appeared much more patient.

He had always been a very steady person.

When facing matters, he would absolutely not act without complete certainty.

This style of never taking unnecessary risks was actually somewhat similar to Zhou Luo's.

Furthermore, his greatest strength was that he never looked down on anyone, even if the opponent had just broken through to the Golden Core.

Demon Seven did not respond.

If you want to investigate, then investigate; in any case, I just need to get things done.

After all, among the General's subordinates, Demon Six's strength was second only to the strongest, Demon One, so even if he had other opinions, he could only listen to him.

Demon Six said no more and began to carefully investigate information on Zhou Luo.

On the other side, piloting the flying boat, Zhou Luo had no idea he had been targeted by two powerful Golden Core-level Demonic race creatures.

On the way back to the Qingyuan Domain, he didn't touch Dragon Keyun again.

Because she was already pregnant, his goal had been achieved.

As for pure enjoyment, he had so many beautiful wives and concubines that Dragon Keyun wouldn't even be in the queue.

In his eyes, Dragon Keyun was indeed different from other women.

Because of the Spiritual Contract, the two were more like a collaborative partnership and couldn't yet be considered husband and wife.

So Zhou Luo's feelings for her were very plain; he was entirely focused on her body.

This behavior, however, left Dragon Keyun's heart feeling inexplicably empty.

She wondered if she was really that unattractive.

But she also didn't dare to take the initiative to do anything.

Ten days later, they returned to the Qingyuan Domain.
