Chapter 341: Chapter 292-293: Situation in the Great Realm, the Name of a True Immortal

They were currently on the Spiritual Boat, heading for Kongchen Demon City.

They weren’t going into the Demon City itself, but rather to the region it governed.

"The universal currency in the Great Realm is the Spirit Crystal! No other form of currency is accepted. If you don’t have any Spirit Crystals, you can go into the Demon City and sell some of your resources!"

After saying this, Ling Yao fell silent.

He didn’t leave. Instead, he started walking toward the group of demons on the Spiritual Boat.

’Hmm!?’

Xu Chang’an realized that Ling Yao was walking directly toward his location.

’Passing by!?’

’Or is he...’

Just as Xu Chang’an was wondering, Ling Yao came to a stop right beside him.

’What does he want!?’

Xu Chang’an’s heart skipped a beat as he heard Ling Yao’s voice.

"My beautiful lady, I am Ling Yao, a veteran of the Kunpeng Demon Army, a Flying Strange Level Demon Fiend in the Mid-stage Void Refining Realm.

I wonder, would you be interested in becoming my thirteenth concubine?

If you agree, I offer a betrothal gift of one hundred Spirit Crystals! And I will guarantee you a residence within the Demon City!"

Ling Yao didn’t spare Xu Chang’an a glance, his eyes fixed on Chu Xianyi, who was seated further in. He spoke with a look of deep affection.

’And now this!?’

’Chu Xianyi!?’

’A concubine!’

Putting it all together, Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but chuckle internally.

’However...’

’It’s amusing, yes, but if I don’t handle this well, it could become a huge problem!’

’Also, I understand the Mid-stage Void Refining part, but what is a Flying Strange Level Demon Fiend supposed to be!?’

’And before, he mentioned Ji Meng Level and Qinyuan Level Demon Fiends!’

’Different tiers of Demon Fiends...’

Chu Xianyi’s beautiful eyes glanced over Ling Yao.

"I’m sorry, but this one already has a Dao Companion!"

As she spoke, Chu Xianyi looped her arm through Xu Chang’an’s.

Hearing this, Xu Chang’an froze.

’What Chu Xianyi said wasn’t wrong.’

’A Dao Companion of convenience is still a Dao Companion!’

’But...’

’I just told her she needed to drop the habit of referring to herself with royal titles. And yet, right in front of Ling Yao, she still calls herself "this one."’

’This...’

’Is she trying to be difficult!?’

’On top of that, she rejected him.’

’This is a disaster!’

Xu Chang’an’s mind was racing. Chu Xianyi, however, remained perfectly composed, her gaze on Ling Yao indifferent.

At her words, Ling Yao looked Xu Chang’an up and down. He had the appearance of a young Child and a completely harmless smile.

"Oh, is that so? My apologies, I was being presumptuous."

To Xu Chang’an’s surprise, Ling Yao didn’t press the issue or try to force her. Instead, he turned and left without any fuss.

A moment later, he disappeared into one of the private chambers of the Spiritual Boat.

With him gone, Chu Xianyi started to pull her arm away from Xu Chang’an’s.

’You little minx!’

’Does this emperor look like someone you can just hold onto and then let go of whenever you please!?’

Xu Chang’an stubbornly held onto Chu Xianyi’s hand, refusing to let go.

Her skin was smooth and delicate to the touch—an exquisite sensation.

Chu Xianyi shot Xu Chang’an a look, a chill gathering in her beautiful eyes.

Xu Chang’an paid her no mind.

Not only did he hold her hand, but his other hand also began to wander, caressing it.

’I just helped you out of a big jam. It’s not too much to collect a little interest now, is it?’

’Besides, once I break through, I’ll have to seize my own opportunities.’

’This beauty before me will likely meet her untimely end, and then I won’t be able to touch her anymore!’

’As the old saying goes, cherish the one in front of you. This is exactly that!’

Chu Xianyi was about to erupt, but then she sensed powerful waves of Demon Power radiating from afar.

BOOM!

All the demons on the Spiritual Boat extended their Demon Senses.

Far in the distance, members of the Demon Race were engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.

Divine lights of every color flickered as Spiritual Treasures flew back and forth. The scale of the battle was immense...

It seemed to be two factions of the Demon Race, with cultivation levels of at least the Divinity Transformation Realm!

No, it wasn’t just Divinity Transformation. There were even some at the Void Refining Realm!

"SCRAM!"

A colossal roar, like a clap of Thunderbolt, boomed from the Spiritual Boat and echoed across the heavens.

"Who is that!?"

"Oh no, it’s the Kunpeng Demon Army!"

"Run!"

"Get out of here!"

The various members of the Demon Race in the sky used all their tricks to scatter like birds and beasts.

Within a few breaths, they had all fled beyond the range of the Demon Senses of those on the Spiritual Boat.

With this interruption, for reasons unknown, Chu Xianyi stopped struggling and allowed Xu Chang’an to do as he pleased.

’Hmm!?’

’What’s happening?’

A flicker of doubt crossed Xu Chang’an’s mind.

’Still, no reason to stop what my hands are doing.’

The Spiritual Boat was incredibly fast, but the sky was endless. No matter how long they flew, they never seemed to reach an end. High above, the scenery became monotonous.

From time to time, they would encounter battles, but upon seeing the Spiritual Boat marked with the insignia of the Kunpeng Demon Army, the combatants would invariably scatter.

「Three months later.」

Ling Yao emerged from his private chamber and presented the demons with a choice.

"We have now reached the vicinity of Kongchen Demon City. You little ones can choose to be dropped off freely, or you can be escorted together to the Heaven-Crossing Grand Canyon! Oh, and the Heaven-Crossing Grand Canyon is where the various powers of Kongchen Demon City recruit members of the Demon Race!"

Being "dropped off freely" meant leaving the Spiritual Boat to fend for themselves.

Going to the Heaven-Crossing Grand Canyon to be recruited by a faction was undoubtedly the much safer option.

After all, everyone had witnessed the dangers of the journey firsthand.

There were countless members of the Divinity Transformation Demon Race, and even a fair number from the Void Refining Demon Race.

If not for the reputation of the Kunpeng Demon Army, had they been left to face such threats alone, they likely wouldn’t have survived a month!

’The Heaven-Crossing Grand Canyon is a recruitment site, so it’s guaranteed to be swarming with experts. A minor realm breakthrough might go unnoticed, but the commotion from a Great Realm breakthrough would be huge. It’s not a suitable place for that at all! If I miss this chance, who knows how long it will be before I find another opportunity. The Energy on my panel is already maxed out. I need to break through as soon as possible; it’s the only way to ensure I have some measure of safety!’
