467 I Don’t Understand sDon’t Trouble Trouble Before Trouble Troubles You” (1/2)

In the twinkling of an eye, Wang Lu and the others have been in the new demon world for two years.

Of course, this two years period was only subjective time. Objectively, it was only two days.

For a group of human cultivators who lived in the land of demon race, a day was indeed like a year.

The new demon world was indeed like a dream. During those two days, under the guidance of Aba the guide, Wang Lu and his teammates saw all sorts of incredible things, witnessed how brilliant and bright the demon race civilization was, and profoundly understood how the demon race in the new demon world stand aloof from worldly affairs.

But all these did not help them solve their real problem.

”What do you guys think, can we really go back?”

In their residence, Zhou Mumu's voice appeared to be low in spirit.

The life in the new demon world was safer and more comfortable than expected. Their disguise had not been seen through. They were still being considered as the last survivor of the old demon world, and being taken care of in every possible way.

Of course, according to Wang Lu's and Qiong Hua's speculation, their identity might have long been seen through. It was just that, the demons of the new demon world had already put down their hatred for human beings. Thus, not only were they not hostile, they instead guided them so that they could integrate into the new demon world—in any case, they could not go back, so they might as well use their demon identity to settle down here.

But this was by no means the wish of the five lead disciples. In those two days, they have asked all the people they could ask—even yesterday, they asked the city's advisor. And the answer was that, there was no possible connection between the new demon world and Nine Regions at all.

This was really a hopeless answer, hence the five of them experienced the one day feeling like it was a year.

”Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to go back.”

”Really? How could you be so sure? You have also heard about it yesterday, even the demon kings are unable to open the space barriers… Don't tell me we have to cultivate here until we reach Mahayana Stage, survive the heavenly tribulation, and then break through the void?” After launching this barrage of questions, Zhou Mumu realized that her mood was somewhat abnormal, thus, she swept her Jade Mansion with her spiritual energy, recovered her immortal heart, and then cleared her mind.

”I'm sorry, I lost myself just now. I'm just curious… how could you be so confident?”

Wang Lu spread out his arms and said, ”Who said I have the confidence? I was just saying some words to coax the fool.”

”...” Zhou Mumu reluctantly shook her head and was no longer interested in talking.

At this moment, however, Aba's laughter came from outside. ”Hahaha, guys, it's me again!”

With a bit of curiosity, Wang Lu opened the door. ”Didn't you say the tour guide only lasts until yesterday, and today we're free to move around?”

Aba nodded his head. ”Yes it is. But yesterday, before I left, I forgot to tell you something important, so I had to come here early in the morning to tell you.”

”What's the matter?”

”You're now free to move around in Zanarkand. You can even go out of the city and go anywhere else… But do keep in mind that, when you hear the sound of horn in the evening, you must rush back into the city at once, and then take a rest inside a building. You absolutely must not go out, even leaving the city perimeter!”

Aba said those words very seriously while at the same time took out several rings.

”These are for just in case you guys don't hear the horn sound. When the horn blows, these rings will turn hot, so you guys will know that it is time to immediately rush back to the city.”

Wang Lu took those rings and casually asked, ”Is there going to be military exercise?”

Aba shook his head to deny it. ”The new demon world stands aloof from the worldly affairs. We don't even have a military, so how can we have military exercise? Even us, the city guards, are just providing daily convenience services, and have never made our move… The reason for you to return to the city is that, whenever the horn blows, something will happen that night. If you don't hide in time, you might die without a burial ground.”

”Die without a burial ground?” Wang Lu was even more curious instead. As he learned more about the new demon world, more and more he felt like it was a paradise on earth. All the good words could be used to describe it. But to die without a burial ground… seemed too inconsistent with all his previous observation.

”Yes, die without a burial ground.” Aba once again reiterated, ”Once the horn blows, you must return to the city at once. Otherwise, there would be a disaster.”

Wang Lu was simply bewildered by this. ”Is this the rule set by the demon king?”

”This is the rule of the new demon world.” Aba said, ”Every once in a while, when the night falls, the wind of destruction will blow into the new demon world. Any creatures that walk at night will be taken away by the wind of destruction. Regardless of how high your cultivation base is, there is no exception to this.”

”For example?”

Aba looked at Wang Lu strangely. This was a really unpleasant question, but he chalked it up to the lack of etiquette in the old demon world. And thus, he didn't think much about it.

”For example, when we first came to the new demon world, and everyone knew little of the wind of destruction, once there was a royal family member who got involved… and that person did not survive.”

Even the royal family could not survive? The royal family of the new demon world is different from the two sisters from the old demon world. In the new demon world, any one of the royal family had at least peak Deity Stage cultivation base, yet they still could not survive the wind of destruction… It seemed like behind the splendor of the new demon world, it also had a terrifying side.

”But as long as you are at home when the wind of destruction blows, then there won't be any problem.”

Wang Lu asked, ”But there are hundreds of millions of lives and thousands of cities in the new demon world, so there will always be special circumstances. What if you are too late to go back to the city?”
