57: Chapter 57 The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons

The massive hole occupied nearly two-thirds of the mountain's original volume; it was exceptionally grand.

Looking forward through the cave, there was a land brimming with vitality, with clear mountain springs and lush vegetation...

If one ignored the corpses on the ground, that is...

Further into the distance, a wall of imposing Aura stood against the horizon.

"Your Highness Saintess, welcome to the Kingdom of Myriad Demons!"

Xing Yaoyan followed Sun Wu out of the massive cave.

Following another massive commotion, the cave vanished once again.

A giant smiling face appeared in its place.

"Your Highness Saintess, come and play often if you get bored later..."

Xing Yaoyan was surprised to hear a hint of reluctance in Shi Chuan's rough voice.

It seemed he was truly quite bored on a daily basis...

Just then, a gust of fishy wind struck.

"No way, again?!"

Xing Yaoyan was speechless.

"Why do I have to be attacked every time the scene changes!"

But before her body could react, the fishy wind had already brushed against her neck.

"Damn, so fast!"

"Bang!"

A cloud of blood mist exploded before her eyes.

She didn't even know the attacker's identity, and they were already dead.

She saw Sun Wu casually twist his blood-stained wrist, baring his teeth in a savage grin.

"These little Yao who don't know their place are truly tired of living..."

As he spoke, Sun Wu's originally somewhat frail body began to slowly expand.

In a short while, a giant ape, fully three stories tall, stood beside Xing Yaoyan.

Massive Demonic Power swept out into the surroundings instantly, and dozens of "pfft, pfft" sounds of bodies exploding followed from the forest.

At the same time, countless figures scrambled outwards desperately, barely escaping this lethal Demonic Qi.

Before long, there was not a single trace of life left within a one-kilometer radius...

Xing Yaoyan silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva; it was an instinctive action of her body.

Xing Yaoyan, still hiding in her Soul and observing the outside world, felt her scalp tingle at this sight.

Although Sun Wu had deliberately guided the Demonic Power to avoid her, the immense destructive force still left her amazed.

If the seventh-Rank Demonic Power Hu Wang had erupted with earlier was just a paper tiger with no substance, then the Demonic Power Sun Wu erupted with, while slightly lower in Rank, was the real deal.

"Scram!"

The deafening roar pierced the clouds.

From then on, no other Yao dared to come and spy.

"Haha, please excuse this, Your Highness Saintess; the local customs are quite enthusiastic, are they not... Once we reach the Imperial City, there won't be so many Yao with bad intentions."

Hmm... the local customs were indeed quite simple and honest... fight on sight...

Xing Yaoyan now knew where the corpses seen everywhere along the road came from.

So they were all just Yao who lost their fights...

"Actually, our Kingdom of Myriad Demons is only chaotic around the Imperial City. After all, death matches are prohibited inside the Imperial City, so some enemies usually resolve things outside the city."

Sun Wu had returned to his previous old man appearance at some point and was continuing to walk forward unhurriedly.

"Furthermore, the Imperial City is the place with the most merchants in the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, so some Yao will also come here to rob, kill, and the like."

From Sun Wu's rambling words, Xing Yaoyan finally gained a true understanding of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons.

In short, it was: if you don't submit, fight; if you die, it's because you're weak; only the victor deserves to live.

This rule applied everywhere else in the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, except for the Imperial City and the ancestral lands of some major Yao Race factions.

Within the Yao Race, only the Imperial Clans were entitled to have their own ancestral lands.

Currently, the Imperial Clans consisted of the seven major clans: the Eagle Demon Clan, Tree Demon Clan, Wolf Demon Clan, Snake Demon Clan, Cat Demon Clan, Lion Demon Clan, and Sea Demon Clan.

Their ancestral lands were located in different parts of the entire Kingdom of Myriad Demons, and they had established "Signal Fires" that could transmit information while ignoring so-called barriers.

Although they possessed Imperial Clan privileges, they also bore the responsibility of maintaining order in the Kingdom of Myriad Demons.

Aside from this information, Sun Wu began to veer off-topic again.

Talking about interesting things like how the little princess of the Cat Demon Clan liked to play pranks, a certain young master of the Lion Demon Clan had his Soul hooked by a cat strip for three days, and dog barks heard deep in the night at the Wolf Demon Clan's ancestral land...

"Alright, Your Highness Saintess, we have arrived at the Imperial City."

Xing Yaoyan's Soul avatar turned back, using her body's eyes to observe the situation before her.

Two tightly closed city gates towered into the clouds, and the wall, stretching for ten thousand miles, could not be seen to the end at a glance.

"As expected of the Imperial City of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, it truly has an imposing Aura."

Xing Yaoyan's Soul sighed in her spiritual sea.

Although she had not yet seen the Capital, which was of equivalent status in the Human Alliance, the oppressive city gate wall of the Imperial City really struck her as cool.

"Little Chaos! When I'm strong enough in the future, I'm going to build a gate just as cool as this!"

Xing Yaoyan's Soul hugged the Chaos Beast and rubbed it frantically; she was just too excited.

"Hmm? What is Sun Wu doing?"

She saw the old man slowly strolling towards one side of the gate.

The white wolf's body followed subconsciously, and only then did Xing Yaoyan see that there was something like a console in that area.

She saw Sun Wu stop in front of it and place his hand on it to press something.

The next moment, she saw the familiar blue mechanical light flash across the console.

"Click~"

A mechanical sound rang out.

In Xing Yaoyan's speechless gaze, a small door quietly opened in the corner of this towering city gate near them.

...

So you built such a cool gate just for show, right? I wanted to admire what it looked like when the big gate opened!

Seeming to sense the white wolf's speechlessness, Sun Wu turned around, looked at those pale wolf eyes that still had no emotional fluctuation, and said:

"Please do not take offense, Your Highness Saintess. Our main gate is generally only opened when the King personally leads an expedition."

"Usually, to save resources, we just open the small door to enter."

"You know, the human concept of 'green environmental protection' is actually quite highly regarded by our King..."

Walking through the small door, the full view of the Imperial City was revealed before Xing Yaoyan's eyes.

There were no skyscrapers towering into the clouds as in the Human Alliance, nor were there those hovering cars trailing exhaust tails...

But here there were all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, antique buildings, blue bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water...

If it weren't for the people before her having tails, horns, or long ears, Xing Yaoyan would have thought, at first glance, that she had Transmigrated back to the ancient times of her previous life.

Her and Sun Wu's arrival did not attract much attention from the other Yao.

After all, almost all Yao assumed the Imperial City was the safest place in the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, so their vigilance had dropped to the lowest level.

"Hey! Are you the Saintess of the Demon Race that my dad talked about? Looking at you, a Wolf Demon who can't even shapeshift, you're not even as good as me, this Young Miss!"

Suddenly, a spoiled, arrogant voice rang out.
