Grand Princess Mo Ruxue

Ye Wen didn't hesitate and walked back towards Demon Suppressing City with Mo Yuanyuan and the others.

On the way back, Ye Wen learned just how mischievous Mo Yuanyuan was.

Dongfang Yu was Mo Yuanyuan's master, and her father, Lord Mo, had the highest strength in the entire Demon Suppressing City.

Her father was a formidable figure at Xiantian Fourth Rank, close to breaking through to Fifth Rank. Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, was a master at Innate Second Rank.

Houtian for body refinement, Xiantian for qi cultivation.

The number of people who could reach the Xiantian realm was very small in the entire Demon Suppressing City.

Giant Beasts were also called Demonic Beasts or Magic Beasts. If there was a Demon Pill or Devil Core within them, they were basically at the Xiantian Fourth Rank or above.

Ye Wen secretly compared himself to this, estimating that his current physical strength and defense could withstand even a Xiantian Fourth Rank expert.

Of course, this was assuming he didn't use their special attack skills.

When Ye Wen learned that there were so few Xiantian experts and that his current strength was comparable to that of a Xiantian Third Rank master, he didn't become arrogant. He figured this must be a very remote place.

Their venture deep into the Endless Forest was because this girl had heard from someone that an Immortal Lotus was about to bloom, and she wanted to find it for her father to help him break through to Fourth Rank.

So, she carelessly led a troop of soldiers into the forest. If it weren't for her master, Dongfang Yu, finding out she had run into the forest and chasing after her.

Otherwise, she would have become dinner for a Giant Tiger today.

After half a day's journey, everyone finally returned to Demon Suppressing City.

A very ancient and majestic great city.

The pitted city walls bore the marks of countless years. Sword slashes, burn marks, and many claw prints told passing visitors of the fierce battles of the past.

Passing through the city gate, which was over 20 meters long, Ye Wen sighed again. From outside, it had seemed so tall, but now he had to add that the city walls were also incredibly thick.

This was perhaps built to withstand the attacks of demonic beasts!

If soldiers at the Houtian realm were to attack the city, how much would it cost to take such a massive city?

When the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged woman in the main hall was already sobbing uncontrollably.

She was the City Lord's Wife. Seeing her younger daughter covered in dirt and with several minor injuries.

She couldn't help but scold her daughter. Seeing how disheveled she was, she couldn't bring herself to hit her, so she just cried and yelled.

Instead, another beautiful woman stood beside her, comforting her for a long time, which finally allowed Mo Yuanyuan to go back to bathe, apply medicine, and treat her wounds.

This woman was Mo Yuanyuan's older sister, Mo Ruxue, the Grand Princess of Demon Suppressing City.

Since the City Lord had no son, the Grand Princess held power second only to the City Lord.

Upon learning that Ye Wen had saved Mo Yuanyuan, she spoke enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for risking your life to save my sister. I heard you just left your village, so please stay at the City Lord's Mansion. We will fulfill any request you have."

She carried herself with an air of superiority. Although she appeared very dignified, Ye Wen could sense that this woman was no ordinary person.

After speaking, the Grand Princess had a maid lead Ye Wen to the guest room to rest.

After Ye Wen left, Dongfang Yu asked the Grand Princess.

"Has the City Lord not returned yet?"

Mo Ruxue replied with some worry.

"Not yet. He's been out for so many days; I don't know if something unexpected has happened."

"Alright, send someone to notify me when the City Lord returns. I also sustained some injuries this time, so I'll be heading back.

Also, this Ye Wen's background is very mysterious. You should try to get more information from him. If necessary, find a way to keep him here and have him join the Innate Mansion!

He's comparable to a Xiantian Third Rank master at such a young age; he's rare and worth our effort to recruit."

After saying this, Dongfang Yu didn't delay any further and quickly headed towards the Innate Mansion.

It seemed he was also quite injured this time, his meridians had been shaken, and he needed to circulate his energy to heal immediately, otherwise, it would leave hidden damage and affect his future advancements.

After Dongfang Yu left, Mo Ruxue's expression turned very grim. She glared at the eight surviving soldiers. The captain was so scared that he immediately knelt down and shouted.

"Grand Princess, spare my life! Your subordinate knows his mistake, please spare me this time! I have diligently guarded Demon Suppressing City for nearly twenty years and have made many great contributions!"

Mo Ruxue said coldly.

"How dare you bring Yuan Yuan to such a dangerous place? You deserve to die. No matter how many contributions you've made, the City Lord has already rewarded you. But this time, you have committed a capital offense!"

"Princess, Princess! Spare my life, it was the Little Princess, she forced me to go! I didn't dare to disobey!"

The captain cried hoarsely, prostrate on the ground.

"Take him away and kill him, as a warning to others! The rest, fifty strokes of the cane."

Mo Ruxue gave the order mercilessly. The other guards remained silent, dragging the screaming captain away to carry out the order.

"What a turbulent time. Why hasn't Father returned yet? Without you here, I fear there will be great chaos!"
