Such a Demon City

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi n't know how to comfort it, because he knew nothing about the events of that era or why it fought.

I once asked Liusu, Liusu answer was simply: You know too little about cultivation. Listening to these things is like listening to someone else's Journey to the West story, which is meaningless.

In fact, Qin Yi knew that there were many secrets involved, but Liusu seemed unwilling for him to explore them, and ultimately she kept some things to herself.

Let it be; everyone needs to have their own secrets. Just like Qin Yi will never tell it what "av" was, which it had once been so curious about.

"Halt!" Several werewolf guards stood at the city gate, each pointing a long spear at Qin Yi and Ye Ling: "What are you doing?"

Qin Yi was somewhat surprised; this place had a bit of a human city feel to it, quite different from the Demon City he had imagined.

Ye Ling took out the feather left behind by the Azure Hawk: "An eagle uncle asked me to come and find him."

The werewolves' eyes widened, then their expressions became extremely obsequious. "So you're Hawk Commander's guest, we'll show you the way..."

"I'll lead the way! I'll lead the way!"

"I saw this distinguished guest first!"

"You even pointed a gun at her!"

The city gate guards were locked in a fierce battle.

Qin Yi was speechless and casually pointed to the nearest one. "Stop fighting, you take us there."

The werewolf turned and glared angrily. "What are humans anyway, daring to order me around?"

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, but he wasn't angry.

That's how it should be... It really is Demon City.

In the end, none of the werewolves led the way and they were all beaten up by their captain, who then led the way himself.

"My lord, when you see Hawk Commander, please put in a good word for me. My name is Er Gou."

Ye Ling asked curiously, "Aren't you a wolf? Why are you called Er Gou)?"

"It's said that having a humble name makes a child easier to raise..."

Do you have this kind of human custom too?

"Some things about humans do make a lot of sense... My second uncle was named Lang Aotian, but he didn't live past thirty."

Ye Ling was chatting idly with the werewolf captain, while Qin Yi followed behind silently, looking around at the strange city.

The streets are very wide, and the houses are mostly stone houses, some of which can be several stories high. The carvings are mostly in the style of foreign tribes, which is probably the cultural style that the Demon City has developed on its own. It's also understandable why Cheng Cheng's clothes have that kind of feel.

Many of the houses are shops, selling Law Artifact and materials, but there are no roadside stalls.

A broom wobbled along, sweeping the doorway by itself, sweeping and sweeping, eventually sweeping the trash all the way to the neighbor's door.

Another broom jumped out and started cursing, "You worthless broom, just like your master!"

The two brooms clattered against each other, and Ye Ling clapped her hands and laughed, "Fun, fun! This Demon City is so much fun, brother!"

It's really fun! Even the broom is a monster, so is the house a monster?

Qin Yi then asked, "Can everything here become a demon?"

"All living things are demons. As for inanimate objects like brooms, they usually need to be enlightened before they can become demons. It's very rare for one to become a demon on its own." The werewolf captain said, "My grandfather once said that he finally built a nest, but when he woke up the next day, he saw the sky and the house had grown legs and run away. It was bad luck."

Qin Yi and Ye Ling couldn't help but laugh, and even Liusu laughed.

As they were talking, a round, floating ball appeared and circled Qin Yi several times, whimpering, "Aww, human!"

Seeing how cute it was, Ye Ling greeted it, "Hello, little ball."

"Waaaaah!"

"Don't disturb our honored guest!" The werewolf captain punched it, sending it flying into the sky.

Ye Ling: "..."

"Demons, monsters, spirits, and spirits are essentially the same thing; they're just different species that have developed a spiritual connection," the werewolf captain said. "My grandfather said that some creatures' special hobbies and habits gather into Spiritual Qi, which can lead to them becoming spirits, like vengeful spirits. However, these Whining Creature are relatively rare..."

Qin Yi thought to himself, "I have a lot there."

This rather interesting exotic flavor changes abruptly after turning a street corner.

A row of wooden poles stood some distance ahead, and Qin Yi could clearly see rows of human heads stuck in them. Blood dripped from the poles, staining half the street with blood.

No, it's not a human head, it's a leopard's head.

"That's..." Ye Ling stammered, "... it looks kind of familiar?"

Qin Yi shook his head. In his opinion, all leopards looked the same. Among the row of leopard heads there, who knew which one looked familiar to the ones he had seen before?

The werewolf captain then said, "This leopard family, it is said, dared to seduce the Xiao Kingdom, and was executed along with their entire family. They also kept many dogs, which were all chopped up and sent to the butcher shop."

Ye Ling turned to look at Qin Yi Qin Yi narrowed his eyes.

The werewolf captain, oblivious to their thoughts, boasted, "Your Majesty possesses unparalleled wisdom, knowing the past and the future. They dare to try and plant spies here? They should take a good look at themselves in the mirror!"

Qin Yi suddenly asked, "Are there any people here with the surname Cheng? I mean, humans."

"Cheng? I'm not quite sure." The werewolf captain said with a forced smile, "Our White Kingdom has over a million people, and even among humans, there are at least a hundred thousand. How many of them could I possibly know?"

Qin Yi said no more.

The Demon City was vast; it took several hours just to reach the Hawk Commander's Residence, and it was already dark when they arrived. Ye Ling took out a feather, about to call for someone to announce her arrival, when the Azure Hawk's voice came from inside the residence. "Please invite the guest into the main hall."

With its cultivation, it already has a clear understanding of everything happening outside the gate.

Then a gatekeeper led the two into the mansion.

The gatekeeper glanced at Ye Ling with surprise. Hawk Commander received guests in the main hall; there were few demons in the entire Demon City worthy of his attention. This Soaring Serpent ... while its cultivation was quite good, it wasn't quite to the extent that Hawk Commander valued it so much...

The gatekeeper could only conclude that the Soaring Serpent bloodline was extremely rare, perhaps the first case seen in hundreds of years, which was why Hawk Commander took it so seriously.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees an elderly man with white hair sitting in the main seat, sipping tea. He appears completely human, with a slightly hooked nose, sharp eyes, and neatly combed white hair that falls backward.

It looks exactly like a human, and it's even drinking tea.

Ye Ling bowed and said, "Uncle Eagle."

Qin Yi also clasped his hands in a salute. "Greetings, Hawk Commander."

The old man smiled slightly, "My name is Ying Li."

Neither the brother nor sister said anything. Did they mean to call you Ying Li?

Ying Li looked at Ye Ling, a hint of kindness in his eyes. "Have you decided?"

Ye Ling said, "Uncle Eagle, could you please not make me fight? I'm afraid of fighting..."

Ying Li seemed taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle, "There are demons who are afraid of fighting, some plant demons are quite Buddha-nature. But the Fierce General Soaring Serpent, who is terrified of his master..." He shook his head and laughed again, seemingly finding it unbelievable. Then he turned to Qin Yi and said, "Did this human teach you to be like this? But I saw him carrying a Wolf Tooth Club, he was quite fierce too."

"My brother isn't fierce, he's the best."

Ying Li noncommittal, only saying, "We recruited you naturally hoping you could strengthen our fighting force; it's impossible to avoid fighting. Of course, the Soaring Serpent is rare, and we value it highly, so don't worry about us sending you on suicidal missions."

Qin Yi felt slightly relieved. If that was the case, it would indeed be a good thing for Ye Ling to stay.

Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Uncle Eagle, could you do us a favor?"

"Um?"

Qin Yi then said, "My sister and I came to the bottom of the rift valley to find a way to break a witchcraft curse called the Co-Death Curse."

"This is a minor matter; I'll simply have someone post a notice." Ying Li sipped his tea, his sharp eyes fixed on Qin Yi. "But let's be clear first: what if the Demon City doesn't have this item either?"

"We are already deeply grateful for Hawk Commander's willingness to help," Qin Yi sighed. "If there really is no other way... Ye Ling will stay as well, and we will ask Hawk Commander for guidance."

"Wrong, it wasn't me who gave the guidance." Seeing that Ye Ling was indeed willing to stay, Ying Li's sharp gaze also dissipated, and he laughed, "The bloodline of Soaring Serpent is extraordinary, of course it was my Our King who personally gave the guidance."

Qin Yi tentatively asked, "Does your king... know Ye Ling?"

"Of course I don't recognize him," Ying Li said. "You all go and bathe and change first, then come with me to the palace to pay homage to my Our King."
