Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 651 Demoness vs. Demoness!

The assessment location for the five major families is in a separate hall within the inner region of Saint Dan City.

As the exclusive site for the assessments throughout history, this place was actually set up by the Pill Tower, which shows its emphasis on these five major families.

However, this assessment was not held in secret, but rather was a semi-public performance.

In this way, the five major families can take this opportunity to flex their muscles and attract other qualified forces to participate and watch, thus creating a competitive atmosphere.

After all, the reputation of Dan Tower has spread even to the barren Northwest Region. Everyone knows that once you attach yourself to Dan Tower, this money tree, it means endless wealth and fame.

When Hun Ruoruo and Dan Chen arrived at the hall, it was already packed with a huge crowd, with testing personnel walking back and forth from time to time, screening the people inside.

"let's go."

Dan Chen frowned slightly as she looked at the crowded hall before her, and was about to lead Hun Ruoruo to a side path.

She has always preferred quiet, and even when she was eavesdropping on people talking about her in the square, she only stood on the outside of the circle, clearly not comfortable with such a crowded scene.

"So you're already planning to use your special privileges, Miss Eighth-Rank Alchemist?"

Hun Ruoruo smiled faintly, yet allowed her to hold her arm.

"Varied"

Dan Chen's beautiful eyes widened, her cheeks flushing red and then turning purple with a playful glint in her eyes. She forced herself to suppress her fear of the crowd and said stiffly:
"Then let's go back and line up!"

After saying that, this stubborn girl actually turned her head and walked towards the end of the line.

Before Dan Chen could take two steps, a sharp-eyed guard not far away seemed to have noticed the medal on her chest and immediately called out loudly:

"Miss Danchen?"

Upon hearing this, those around him were taken aback and all turned their gazes toward Dan Chen.

"What? It's actually someone from the Dan family!"

"Such a young girl, could she be the friend that the Cao family witch often mentions?"

Seeing the people around her talking about her, Dan Chen, who was already afraid of strangers, turned slightly pale and subconsciously shrank back towards Hun Ruoruo.

However, upon witnessing Dan Chen's affectionate gestures towards Hun Ruoruo, a discordant question arose from the noisy crowd:
"Speaking of which, the girl next to her looks so sinister, like she escaped from the Soul Palace."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the previously murmuring crowd changed drastically, and several highly respected playboys stepped forward, sternly rebuking them:
"What nonsense are you spouting! Miss Cao Ying also has a bewitching aura; could she perhaps be a member of the Soul Palace as well?"

"When did this troublemaker infiltrate the Five Great Families' assessment? Throw him out immediately!"

Seeing the hostile looks from the crowd around him, the man who had spoken recklessly turned pale with fright. Just as he was about to explain himself, he was subdued by several law enforcement officers who arrived and forcibly thrown out of the area.

Soon, the law enforcement officers who had been there earlier arrived quickly, bowed, and apologized:
"I apologize, Miss Danchen. I failed in my duty and allowed this person who slandered your friend to blend into the crowd. Please punish me."

"I--"

Dan Chen opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

Given the current situation, even if she were to proactively explain that the other person was not her friend, it would likely only have the opposite effect.

"No problem."

Before Dan Chen could speak, a slender hand gently rested on her shoulder, and a bewitching whisper, half-smiling, half-moaning, came from beside her ear:

"Let's go, Danchen."

"."

Dan Chen clenched her fists, then after a long while, she weakly relaxed them and responded softly:
"Um"

Upon seeing Hun Ruoruo and the other woman enter the hall, a woman in black who had been sitting with her legs crossed immediately narrowed her eyes. Her lazy, dark eyes slowly swept over the two of them before finally settling on them.

"Sister Danchen, it's been a long time." A soothing voice suddenly rang out, immediately attracting the attention of the five major families in the arena. Their gazes toward the woman in black also carried a hint of apprehension.

This person was none other than Cao Ying, the legendary enchantress of the Cao family!

If this title isn't prestigious enough, then mentioning the top candidates of the Danta is enough to make countless people worship them as gods.

The giants of the Dan Tower, a position of immense influence on the continent, can only be described as possessing overwhelming power.
Seeing Cao Ying's gaze, Dan Chen's face stiffened slightly, her eyes meeting Cao Ying's for a moment, then she looked away.

Seeing this, Cao Ying was not annoyed, as if she already knew Dan Chen's personality very well.

She moved with light, graceful steps, stepping directly down from her seat and walking towards the two of them. Her gaze lingered on Dan Chen for a moment before landing on the girl in the black dress beside her.

"I never expected that someone as introverted as Dan Chen would take the initiative to make friends. Your abilities are truly something I'm curious about."

Sensing the other party's probing intent, Hun Ruoruo seemed completely oblivious, smiling gently:

"My acquaintance with Sister Danchen was not due to alchemy; we were merely friends who chatted casually."

Seeing this, Cao Ying nodded and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she extended her slender hand and smiled sweetly.
"Let me introduce myself. This is Cao Ying from the Cao family."

"An Ruoruo."

Two slender, delicate hands clasped together, but there was no spark between them. After a brief moment of contact, they released each other's hands and walked into their seats with Dan Chen, chatting and laughing.

However, it was precisely this action that shocked everyone who was already quite curious about Hun Ruoruo.

As is well known, alchemists rarely reveal their secret skills to others. Therefore, people began to abandon comparing alchemy techniques and instead invented a special observation method called "Three Qi".

Temperament, aura, and spirit.

This means that alchemists do not need to demonstrate their alchemy skills; others can easily judge an alchemist's rank and ability simply by observing these three types of "qi".

This mysterious woman named An Ruoruo was actually able to rival Cao Ying in terms of "three kinds of anger"!
Seeing the two take their seats, a man in blue could no longer contain his excitement. He gently tugged at Dan Chen's sleeve and asked:

"Xiao Chen, when did you make friends of this caliber?"

This person is named Danxuan, and is Danchen's elder brother by blood.

Based on his understanding of Dan Chen, he was naturally very clear about just how high Dan Chen's standards were, and thus he couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen's eyes darted around, and she stammered slowly:
"She is an old friend of mine from the Dan Tower. I just happened to run into her during this training trip."

Dan Chen was incapable of lying, let alone deceiving her brother in this situation, and her speech became increasingly stammering.

She knew perfectly well that despite Hun Ruoruo's kind appearance, if she dared to reveal her identity, she would face an extremely bloody end, given the cultivation level Hun Ruoruo had displayed at the time.
Everyone present would probably turn into a bloody mist.

Therefore, despite her fear and reluctance, she had no choice but to help the other party keep the matter a secret.

Upon hearing this, Danxuan's expression immediately changed, and a solemn look appeared on his face:

"So you're a disciple of the Pill Tower. No wonder you're on par with that vixen Cao Ying. Xiao Chen, we mustn't neglect such an honored guest visiting our Pill family!"

Dan Chen nodded, avoiding eye contact, and whispered:
"I know, therefore."

"so."

Seeing the girl's voice growing softer, Danxuan was puzzled. He casually picked up his teacup and then smiled reassuringly:
"No rush, Xiao Chen, take your time and say what you want to say."

"So, could you please ask your brother to change our Dan family's representative to her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danxuan's teacup shattered with a crack, unaware that the tea had spilled everywhere. Countless people turned around in surprise at that moment, and even Cao Ying's eyes couldn't help but show a strange look.

"What did you say?!"
