465 Another Branch of History? (1/2)

The land of destruction?

Upon hearing these words, the minds of several lead disciples were moved.

Before coming to this strange world, the demon world that was ravaged by the black tide could indeed be called as the land of destruction. But if that was the land of destruction, what about here?

Or in other words, what the hell is happening here? After leaving the demon world, they should be back in Nine Regions, so how could they suddenly arrive here?

When the several lead disciples had different thoughts, Wang Lu stepped forward and said in fluent demon race language, ”We come from the eternal country. What… what is this place?”

While speaking, he showed just the right amount of confusion and puzzlement.

The so-called eternal country was a popular name for the world in which the demon race people lived. Wang Lu was trying to act like he was the residence of the demon world.

Before departing from Nine Regions to Demon World, the several lead disciples were all cast with a disguise spell, disguising them as demon world people. The core of the spell itself was harvested in the group of immortal tombs… The disguise effect was almost without any flaw.

Even the two royal family girls of the demon race only saw the flaws during the conversation. Thus, the present ink demon and bird demon were naturally helpless.

After listening to Wang Lu's explanation, the ink demon individual was astounded that his jaw slackened, revealing several rows of teeth. ”Eternal country? You guys really come from the land of destruction! Unexpectedly, there are still living people there! This is so amazing!”

With that, the several bird demon individuals behind him were also excited. ”Living residence of the old demon world? My god, this is a big news that comes one in many years. And we are the first to witness them, we're going to be famous!”

”What do you think, if those magazine journalists come to interview us, how can we promote ourselves while we are telling the story?”

”After becoming famous, will there be businessmen looking for us for product endorsement?”

The dialogue of the several bird demon contained a great amount of information. So much that Wang Lu could not even immediately respond.

”Did you guys say… old demon world? What do you mean by that?”

That ink demon laughed. ”Of course it's because here, the place that you see all around you, is called the new demon world! A new land that brings new life for the demon race!”

”New demon world?”

That ink demon said, ”It's a long story. I see that you guys seem travel-worn, your life must be very difficult in the old demon world, right? For you guys to be able to walk through the space barrier to come here, you guys definitely experienced a lot more hardships. How about we go to the city first and you guys can take a rest first. After that, I'll tell you the ins and outs of things. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the head guard of Zanarkand. Just now, I saw a change in the space on the mountain, so I led my brothers to come here to check it out… And indeed, we found amazing characters here!”

With that, that ink demon laughed again. ”Previously in this new demon world, for over a full millennium, we haven't seen any visitors from the old world. Being the first to find you guys is really my good luck.”

After a pause, he suddenly asked, ”Can I use my name to call you?”

”…”

—

After their initial greetings with the several City Guards, Wang Lu and the others officially entered this incredible demon race city, Zanarkand.

The ink demon arranged for their accommodation and food. Moreover, he had also considered the cultivation base of the several lead disciples and arranged their residence according to the five elements and Feng Shui line that was best for each of them. The food was also both delicious and nutritious—this surprised Wang Lu and the others because according to the custom of the demon race that they know of, fresh blood and meat seemed more suitable to entertain the guest.

It was not long after their arrival in Zanarkand with an awkward mood that a high-level demon race came to entertain them. He was also an ink demon, but he was more mature and stronger than the head guard. The head guard was roughly equivalent to peak Jindan Stage human, but the older ink demon individual was at least half a step into Deity Stage—the division of strength for the demon race was different from that of human, but the strength manifestation was not that different—he claimed to be the advisor of the city master of Zanarkand.

Zanarkand was indeed an incredible city. A peak Jindan Stage individual could only serve as the head guard, and the city's advisor had already stepped on the level of Deity Stage! That being the case, how much stronger the city master itself? Merely one such city already had strong individuals, so how many things were hidden in this new demon world?

With these doubts in mind, Wang Lu and the others took their seat at the dinner table. The old city master's advisor didn't show off his Deity Stage aura even a little bit. He warmly entertained them at the dinner table, and moreover, he was extremely approachable. He explained to Wang Lu and the other lead disciples the history of the new demon world.

”This piece of land is really a blessed place.” While talking, the old demon race's thoughts drifted to a long, long time ago.
