Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 115 What I Saw and Heard When Entering the City

He had wanted to ask about the devil seal between his eyebrows and the Xuansheng Heavenly Demon, and regretted not asking these two questions first.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, the tall gate of the Demon City appeared in his sight.

Because we were almost at the Demon City, we didn't rest that night and kept on traveling.

It was just getting light at this time, the sky was turning pale, and the morning light was just beginning to shine, with strands of golden light falling on the majestic walls of the Demon City.

The city gate is towering, as if leading to the sky. The huge gate pillars are engraved with ancient runes. Time has left deep marks on them, showing an endless sense of historical weight.

In front of the city gate, the stone carvings of dragons and lions are lifelike, the dragon's eyes are bright and the lion's majesty is awe-inspiring, as if they are really coming alive.

On both sides of the city gate, the warriors of the Earth Demon Clan stood tall and straight, their armor shining with cold light, and the spears in their hands were like tall pine trees in the forest, pointing straight to the sky.

With resolute eyes and solemn expressions, they guarded the Demon City motionlessly. The murderous aura made everyone who approached the city gate feel the solemnity and majesty.

When the first ray of sunlight rose completely, golden light sprinkled on the plaque above the city gate, and the large characters "Earth Demon King City" shone brightly, as if they were forged with the glory of countless battles.

Dou Eqing couldn't help but imagine the scene of foreign invaders attacking this ancient city.

Suddenly, a familiar figure entered from the city gate, interrupting his fantasy.

"Senior Sister Su..."

Dou Eqing called out in his heart.

He then urged the thundercloud to speed up.

Although he only saw a back figure, Dou Eqing was very sure that the person was Su Muwan.

It was three thousand meters away, and he brought Gu Shuqian to the city gate in ten minutes. He waved the invitation in his hand and went into the city.

However, even after ten minutes, he still couldn't find Su Muwan.

It looks desolate outside the city gate, but the city is prosperous and bustling with waterwheels and horses.

Dou Eqing saw many buildings in the city, many public buildings looked majestic, and the palaces and pavilions were arranged in an orderly manner.

The red walls and golden tiles sparkle in the morning light, and the tiles made of spiritual jade reflect the dazzling light, making people admire the splendor of this city.

The streets are spacious, with shops lining both sides, selling resources for cultivation, from elixirs to magic weapons, attracting visitors from all over.

There were crowds of people, and the cries of vendors on the street stalls, the conversations of pedestrians and the noise of cars and horses were intertwined, forming a prosperous picture.

The restaurants and teahouses are bustling with people and filled with fragrance, just like the vibrant present moment.

The city's canals crisscrossed, their clear streams flowing gently, nourishing this prosperous land. Occasionally, small boats crisscrossed the canals, boatmen singing and the water rippling, creating a harmonious scene of movement and stillness, completely at odds with the image of a demonic race.

The bustling market and the tranquility of the courtyard complement each other, outlining a world full of vitality and vigor.

Beneath the magnificent city walls, officers and soldiers patrol, their armor shining, guarding this prosperous place.

Children are chasing and playing on the street corners, and old people are playing chess and chatting under the shade of trees, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene.

However, in the alley to the right of Dou Eqing, the goods sold were different.

The creatures of various races that are traded here include magical beasts, demon beasts, spirit beasts, orcs, and human monks' cauldrons or monks' slaves.

They were all treated as commodities and sold without any dignity.

Whether in the demonic or righteous ways, there are transactions of cultivators' cauldrons and furnaces, but they will be treated as treasures by merchants and will not be so close to each other and traded as ordinary goods.

Whether it is a cultivator's cauldron or a slave, there are those from the Golden Core Realm to the God Transformation Realm.

From this, we can imagine how dangerous the gourd ban is to human monks.

If Dou Eqing had not intervened, Gu Shuying might have been taken here and sold as a commodity.

Of course, the number of cultivators in the God Transformation Realm put up for sale is still relatively small. Many shops only have one or two, and only one shop has three cultivators in the God Transformation Realm put up for sale.

These cultivators were all planted with restrictions, and their cultivation was temporarily suppressed, making them look like ordinary mortals. If it weren't for the realm signs hanging in front of them, it would be difficult to tell their true cultivation level at a glance.

Dou Eqing specifically counted and found that there were as many as nineteen cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm who came into this street.

If we buy all these monks back, we can form a quasi-fifth-level force.

From this corner, we can see the power of the Demon City.

Suddenly, Dou Eqing heard the conversation between two righteous monks nearby.

"How are they supposed to survive in the densely populated Demon City?"

"Rumor has it that the Demon City was built by a powerful demon. Although it only covers an area of ​​900 miles, its actual space is more than ten times larger."

"why is that?"

"Because in the Demonic City, many forces have their own unique paradises.

These blessed places were taken by the powerful demons from other parts of Kunshan area and put into these blessed places.

It is rumored that the blessed land of the royal family of the Earth Demon Clan is comparable to a medium-sized secret realm.

Therefore, the Demon City with a radius of 900 miles can accommodate more than one billion people."

Only by hearing this occasionally can you truly understand the power of the Earth Demon City.

"Is the Earth Demon City so powerful? If these demons break out of the forbidden gourd, what will become of us humans in the entire Kunshan region?"

"That only works if they can get out! Only a few powerful warriors here can get out. But if such warriors get out, they will definitely be targeted by us human warriors."

"Wouldn't that mean they're trapped in the gourd forever?"

"That's not the case. They can develop in the direction of Xuhai."

Dou Eqing listened to the conversation between the two for a while, then went to the street where living creatures were sold. However, the two righteous monks walked further and further away.

"How do I sell this monk?"

He came to the first shop and pointed at a female cultivator in the early Jindan stage and asked her.

"Your Excellency has good taste. This woman is not ordinary-looking. She is very skilled in disguise. She was originally a beauty of the highest order. She is the personal maid of the noble lady of Caihua Pavilion. She possesses the renowned Yuanyin Miraculous Body, a supreme physique that aids in dual cultivation..."

The shopkeeper tried his best to promote this ordinary-looking female cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Stage. He talked incessantly and stared at Dou Eqing, but he still had not yet given a price.

"Tell me your price when you buy it."

Dou Eqing wanted to get some information from the other party, so he spoke in a generous manner.

"Not much, just 100 million high-grade spirit stones."

When he heard the offer, he almost lost his balance and wanted to retreat and leave quickly.

“Why is it so expensive?”

He asked subconsciously.

"If I could get out of the gourd, I would have directly traded with the noble lady of Caihua Pavilion and sold it for 200 million high-grade spirit stones."

Only then did Dou Eqing recall the noble lady's status in Caihua Pavilion.

After figuring this out, he decisively paid out 100 million high-grade spirit stones.

His understanding of Caihua Pavilion started with Sheng Cailing.

Because Sheng Cailing became Dou Eqing's demon slave, many secrets of Caihua Pavilion were revealed to him.

　Have a nice weekend!
