Yun Lin jumped in with an answer, causing the eyebrows of the gentleman with feminine features next to him to twitch uncontrollably, apparently struggling with restraint.
“Oh? The Ten Thousand Demon Nation is that special?”
Feng Qing’an grew increasingly curious.
“Of course!”
At this time, the group had already walked onto a flying bridge plank road connecting two buildings. Upon realizing the extraordinariness of this place, Feng Qing’an focused his senses and finally noticed some changes. When they reached the end of this flying bridge plank road.
Heavens have turned and the earth has flipped!
Feng Qing’an, who often traveled between the mortal world and the netherworld, detected this transformation. Although he was in a building, he clearly knew that where he stood was absolutely not the building he had seen when he first stepped on the plank bridge.
“Where is this place?”
Feng Qing’an looked at the stars and the moon outside the building. The deep night, studded on the dim sky, but the misaligned stars and moon made him realize that he was no longer in Fengtian City, not even in the original world.
“This is the Ten Thousand Demon Nation I was talking about, the real Ten Thousand Demon Nation, it’s definitely not what you, Mr. Feng, just saw outside. That place at its best is just a Hundred Demon Tower!”
As if he had arrived on his home turf, Yun Lin explained with pride.
Feng Qing’an walked slowly to the window, looking out over the scenery beyond the building. As he had expected, the bustling and richly ornamented Fengtian City had vanished and was replaced by a variety of buildings that rose and fell with the terrain.
Waves of Demon Qi surged endlessly from the earth to the heavens, extending to the end of sight. Feng Qing’an couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
The Demon Qi here was much more terror-inducing than that of the building he had entered earlier. Judging by the amount of Demon Qi, the name ‘Ten Thousand Demon Nation’ was truly deserved.
If it weren’t for the fact that the two guys beside him were genuinely of the Human Race, without any Demon Qi, Feng Qing’an would have suspected that he had been deceived into this place by the disguised demons lurking in Da Jin, with ill intentions against him.
[Detecting a Guardian Beast Master entering the damaged Cave Sky of the Demon Clan, verifying…]
[This Cave Sky was created by an ancient demon of indeterminable age. Due to the loss of its master and lack of upkeep, it is severely damaged, potentially birthing a Cave Sky Spirit!]
Just as Feng Qing’an gazed at the demon qi outside the building and felt awe-stricken, the system which had been silent for a long time suddenly asserted its existence. However, the sparse information in its brief statements left Feng Qing’an greatly shocked, causing a tumultuous wave of thoughts in his mind.
With countless thoughts bursting in his mind, Feng Qing’an now understood why he could not see a trace of Demon Qi before entering the Hundred Demon Tower!
The Hundred Demon Tower, which could reach directly to the damaged Cave
Sky, is actually an extension of the Cave Sky’s power. It appears to exist in Fengtian City, but is actually independent in relation to this world. He can see through everything, but that doesn’t mean his eves can penetrate the dimension barrier and see the situation in another dimension.
“Indeed, I did not expect that the real Ten Thousand Demon Nation would look like this!”
Feng Qing’an’s hand rested on the windowsill, he turned to look at Xiao Wu,
“With such a foundation, the Xiao Family is truly worthy of being the first illustrious family in Fengtian City. In fact, I believe they can even be considered the first illustrious family in all of Da Jin!”
“You flatter us, Mr. Feng. How could our Xiao Family be considered the first illustrious family of Da Jin? The Luo Family is the actual top family!” Xiao Yi modestly chuckled.
“Oh come on, stop pretending. If your family with this Ten Thousand Demon Nation is not the first, then who is?”
Upon seeing his friend’s demeanor, Yun Lin immediately started cursing. His sarcasm was almost entirely unhidden. That’s how domineering the Xiao Family was.
They even dared to open this place to the public. Those who could come here were either wealthy merchants or powerful dignitaries. The Xiao Family’s confidence in revealing this place was truly indicative of their substantial influence.
“Da Jin will always be under the Luo Family. If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for kicking you out today!”
Seeing his friend’s ridiculous talk, Xiao Yi warned.
“So what about the Luo Family? Didn’t your family’s ancestors also become emperors!”
Yun Lin kept complaining, making Xiao Yi’s face darker and darker, “Guards, get this rascal out of here!”
The moment his words fell, two burly and brawny men with heights of one Zhang (3-3 meters) walked into the room. An intense Demon Qi billowed from them, and the tiger stripes all over their bodies quietly proclaimed their identities.
“No, Fifth Brother, Master Fifth, I’m sorry, I’m just here to let loose tonight. I heard that your Ten Thousand Demon Nation just got some new arrivals, I just want to check them out. Don’t kick me out, that would be a total bummer!”
Seeing his fox friend meant business, Yun Lin immediately bowed his head in a pitiful pleas for mercy, not daring to be disrespectful anymore.
“Was Da Liao founded by your Xiao Family ancestors?”
Feng Qing’an’s face shows a subtle expression at this moment, realizing the value of reading history. Da Liao was a nation that was overthrown by the grand emperor a few centuries ago, and if he’s not wrong, their royal family had the surname Xiao.
“Correct, Da Liao was founded by their ancestors. Sadly, it didn’t even last two hundred years before it was…”
At this moment, Yun Lin failed to keep his mouth shut.
“Throw this impudent lout out!”
Xiao Yi’s expression immediately darkened. For many families, the establishment of a nation and being of royal descent are historical achievements to brag about. But for the Xiao family, it’s nothing but a dark past.
Because, the founder of the Xiao family explicitly forbade the creation of any nation. However, one of their descendants who had gained powerful strength could not resist the temptation of power, and established a dynasty that didn’t even last two hundred years.
The most embarrassing part for their later generations is that this power-hungry ancestor, from the first day he became the emperor to the last day of the nation’s ruin, did not appoint a crown prince. The Da Liao dynasty had only one emperor from beginning to end.
This ancestor also suffered from unavoidable and unstoppable karmic retribution due to the collapse of Da Liao, and died of sudden brutal death when the King City was captured, causing the Xiao family to nearly collapse.
Since then, they’ve adhered to their ancestor’s decree and refrained from trying to build their own dynasty. “Stop, Master Fifth, Daddy Fifth, I was wrong, I won’t talk anymore!”
Seeing two burly men transformed from tigers walking towards him, Yun Lin, completely enveloped by a buddhist aura, threw himself onto Xiao Yi without any formalities.
“I’m going to go see the ghost bride now, the one I had reserved earlier. I’m going to play with her!”
“It’s gone!”
Xiao Yi pushed his hand against the face of this shameless scoundrel trying to peel him off, looking disgusted and annoyed.
“What’s gone?”
“If you don’t get off me, I’ll use a thunder talisman to turn your ghost bride to ashes!”
“No, Master Fifth, let’s talk it out. It’s such a waste to turn the ghost bride into ashes. If you think you have too many thunder talismans, you can give me a few hundred, I won’t mind!”
Yun Lin, who was blessed with good looks, finally let go of his hold. As for the two fierce-looking tiger men, they stopped not far away, showing some discernment.
“Get out of here!”
“Hehe!”
“So, Mr. Feng, what are you here for?”
Yun Lin adjusts his clothes, finally remembering that he had invited a distinguished guest.
“If you can’t decide, I can offer you my reserved ghost bride!”
“What’s a ghost bride?”
Feng Qing’an’s expression turned rather peculiar, unsure if it’s a euphemism or an actual ghost creature.
“A bride who died unjustly on her wedding night. Rest assured, the bride I picked is carefully chosen, she was a virgin in her life, she even still has the maiden sand on her hand, absolutely clean!”
Yun Lin explained with a wave of his hand and dancing brows.
“Is it about cleanliness?”
Feng Qing’an was speechless.
His understanding of the high-ranking princes of Da Jin had become somewhat blurred. He had to say, they did have some weird tastes. But he isn’t that… Ahem, except for Nan Ge and Dong Huang who are innate Yin spirits, having almost flesh-like entities..
