The Binding of the City

After finishing his cultivation, Mu Qinghe knew he had to go cultivate again.

After silently putting away the Western Continent, he also sat on his own bed and began to cultivate.

Time flowed by, and half a month passed.

Mu Qinghe's cultivation base was diligently improved day by day.

His strength also increased, and he reached level twenty-three.

This day, after using up the night wind, he no longer sat on the bed to cultivate early in the morning like he used to. Instead, after taking a bath, he put on his fire-resistant armor, which turned into a black armored warrior, and walked out of the room.

Mu Qinghe called out, "Qinghe, it's time to cultivate." He also hurried out of the room, "Qinghe Elder, Young Master, are you going to the Demon Hunting Ground?"

"Going to the Demon Hunting Ground, of course."

Mu Qinghe walked down the corridor.

"Young Master, you can't go to the Demon Hunting Ground." A voice suddenly came, and a figure completely covered in shadows rushed towards Mu Qinghe, "Only those with great demon souls can go to the Demon Hunting Ground, Qinghe Elder, I'm afraid you..."

"Oh, after you sent me back home, I broke through to level twenty. Then I went to the Endless Forest alone and took the second demon soul." Mu Qinghe said with a smile.

Mu Qinghe took a sip of wine and said, "Qinghe Elder, I'm afraid you are mistaken. The true demon powerhouses have already gone to the Endless Forest to take the second demon soul. Qinghe Elder, you are simply stronger than those demon powerhouses from ancient times."

Mu Qinghe smiled and said, looking at Mu Qinghe's shadow-filled body, "Qinghe Elder, can I go with you to the Demon Hunting Ground? I'm afraid that even my father, who has the inheritance of the Great Elder, can't afford to go, let alone me."

"You can go, but the Demon Hunting Ground is not something that anyone can enter. It costs ten thousand demon coins to enter."

Mu Qinghe was the legitimate son of the Duke, but apart from his cultivation, his father only gave him ten thousand demon coins a year for his living expenses.

Ten thousand demon coins, if placed in the outside world, were certainly a lot.

But if placed in the Heavenly Fighting Continent's Demon Hunting Ground, it was not a small amount.

This was also why Mu Qinghe had to call Mu Qinghe his master.

Even with the help of the demon general's armor, Mu Qinghe's monthly living expenses were not enough for ten thousand demon coins. Spending his own monthly living expenses to go to the Demon Hunting Ground was no different from cutting his flesh.

As expected, after hearing that it cost ten thousand demon coins, Mu Qinghe's face showed a trace of pain, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back and ask my father for more."

"Then let's go together."

Mu Qinghe smiled.

Soon, the two left the Duke's Mansion.

But they didn't go directly to the Demon Hunting Ground. Instead, they went to a pawnshop on the roadside and pawned a mask before heading to the Demon Hunting Ground.

The Heavenly Fighting Continent's Great Fighting Arena was built by Duke Gong, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters, with a height of one to two hundred meters. The interior was divided into a main demon hunting ground and forty-one sub-demon hunting grounds. It could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, including the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

It was a place where demon generals traded demon souls, and also a place where the weak could show their strength.

Every demon general's arena, the Heavenly Emperor's arena, and the traveling arena were all in the same place.

Here, demon souls took three forms: one-star, two-star, and group battles.

Mu Qinghe, after filling in the registration form with his name, age, birthplace, and demon cultivation, handed over ten thousand demon coins and registered for the lowest-level demon hunting spot.

Suddenly, the name and age were both a bit unusual. It turned out that Mu Qinghe had lied.

Taking the surname as an example, he was the weakest. Instead, he had filled in the Black Heart Mask, and no one would check it anyway since he was going to the Western Continent.

At that time, he also simplified the demon power assessment and determined the demon cultivation level.

After doing this, Mu Qinghe successfully registered for a one-star demon battle.

Mu Qinghe's luggage was exchanged for ten thousand demon coins. Next time, if he wanted to exchange it, he would have to re-exchange it, unless he could get a demon hunting spot like Mu Qinghe.

After registering, Mu Qinghe paid Mu Qinghe ten thousand demon coins and asked him to go to the one-star demon battle spot.

When he sat down, the people around him shouted to Mu Qinghe, "Young Master Mu, you're here!"

Mu Qinghe was startled.

Mu Qinghe looked at Mu Qinghe's hopeful gaze and only saw a young girl walking in the corridor.

He could see Mu Qinghe's heart, and one of them was Mu Qinghe, a short and stout young man. He looked at the young girl who walked past him, and a trace of colorful affection appeared on his face.

"She is also from our Duke's Mansion."

Mu Qinghe looked at Mu Qinghe with some surprise.

Mu Qinghe smiled and said, "Yes, Young Master Mu is our Duke's Mansion's new talent. He broke through to the Demon Venerable at the age of fifteen, and at the age of sixteen and a half, he broke through the Duke's Mansion's record. Qinghe Elder, you only know how to cultivate all day long, and you haven't even awakened him."

The two were talking, and they had already walked in front of the young man and woman.

"You are also a genius from the Duke's Mansion, right?"

The young girl looked at Mu Qinghe's body and couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on her face.

"Yes, my lord. I am Mu Qinghe, the former second-level third-stage of the Duke's Mansion. My demon cultivation is level sixteen, strength-based, and level twenty-three. After graduation, it will be three years."

Mu Qinghe's face was filled with a proud expression.

The other young girl also followed him. She saw Mu Qinghe looking at Mu Qinghe as if she were lost, and couldn't help but smile.

To Mu Qinghe's surprise, although he was one meter sixty-six tall, he had a young face and looked younger than his age. He had already hidden his true age.

However, the next sentence Mu Qinghe said made her realize that she was a step too late. "I am Qinghe Elder Mu Qinghe, strength-based demon cultivation, level twenty-three, strength-based demon cultivation."

He coughed. "Alright, Qinghe, stop pretending," she beckoned with a smile. At this moment, the facade of the young man's playful demeanor was shattered.

If she had been looking at the face of the young man from the future, then perhaps, apart from the time-traveling foreknowledge, he wouldn't have been able to hide even a trace of his identity from her.

But at this moment, the young man's appearance in her eyes was simply that of a hungry child.

The young man smiled faintly and looked up and down Qinghe, asking curiously, "Little sister, how old are you?"

"Twelve years old." Qinghe looked at the boy's innocent face, a hint of feigned innocence in her eyes.

Although she had seen Qinghe's feigned innocence before, it was when she was still in the Ghost Realm. Qinghe had seen it before.

The young man smiled and said with a face full of encouragement, "Try your best, little sister. If you can reach level fifteen, you'll be promoted to a higher level." If it were level twelve, it would be simpler. But the heavens' talents were not useless, nor were they ordinary.

However, Qinghe's next sentence made her a little uncomfortable. "Sister, I don't know if you come out every half a month, and you feel bored, anxious, your complexion is pale, and you are listless?"
