Li Xuanxiao nodded. Didn't he see him every day?
The Brocade Young Master smiled, "Could you describe the appearance and bearing of this Lord Li for me? That way I can know who our Human Race's great hero truly is."
Li Xuanxiao chuckled, 'Asking me was the right choice!'
"Lord Li Xuanxiao, he is truly..."
The Brocade Young Master immediately leaned forward, listening intently.
"Too cool!"
The Brocade Young Master was stunned, unable to understand the meaning of "Too cool" for a moment.
Seeing that the local native didn't get the slang, Li Xuanxiao felt bored and dropped his playful attitude: "No need to ask who he is. The peace and tranquility of Pei Prefecture is not the achievement of one person, but the merit of all Martial Artists."
"Everyone simply has different abilities and different responsibilities."
"As long as one contributes effort and shines a bit of light, they are all heroes of the Human Race!"
The Brocade Young Master raised his eyebrows slightly, then chuckled, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Excellency's perspective is indeed broad."
Li Xuanxiao waved his hand: "I observe that Your Excellency possesses an extraordinary bearing and does not seem like a commoner. With war breaking out everywhere, the peace of Ziluo City could be shattered at any moment."
"If you have the capability, it is best to make plans early and head to a safer city."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Xuanxiao felt he was speaking nonsense.
Currently, the entire Pei Prefecture was under the harassment of demons. Where could he flee to be safe?
It might not even be safer than staying in Ziluo City!
He quickly spoke again: "Forget what I said. If we must name a place that is relatively safe right now, perhaps it is only the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division."
Upon hearing this, the Brocade Young Master revealed a meaningful smile: "No, quite the opposite..."
"Right now, the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division is probably the most unsafe place in all of Pei Prefecture."
Li Xuanxiao was stunned. What was this fellow saying?
The Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division housed a full nine Mystic Martial Artists! It was the strongest fighting force within Pei Prefecture!
This fellow was saying the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division was the most unsafe place—how absurd!
"I will treat you to tea, Your Excellency. I hope we meet again someday."
Every word the Brocade Young Master spoke seemed to carry a hidden meaning, but he offered no explanation, just smiled and left.
Li Xuanxiao took a small sip of tea, and suddenly his eyes widened!
Something was wrong!
This fellow clearly implied something significant with his words. He had to stop him and ask clearly!
What did he mean, the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division was the most unsafe place?
Who exactly was this person?
Li Xuanxiao immediately rushed downstairs but did not see the figure of the Brocade Young Master.
He called over the waiter, who only said that the Brocade Young Master had paid and left, and didn't know which direction he went.
Li Xuanxiao's face darkened, and a bold and terrifying guess surfaced in his mind.
He instantly soared into the air, a dazzling golden gleam appearing in his eyes as he scanned the entirety of Ziluo City.
"None, none, he's not here either..."
Li Xuanxiao's expression sank. To leave the vicinity of Ziluo City in such a short time!
This person was either also a Mystic Martial Artist.
Or...
Li Xuanxiao's face grew solemn: "The New Demon Emperor!"
...In a city a thousand miles away from Ziluo City.
Smoke filled the air, the city walls were collapsed, and the corpses of defending Martial Artists lay scattered in pools of blood.
Dozens of demons were currently gathered together. In the center of their circle was a group of trembling commoners.
"Has the New Demon Emperor not returned yet?"
"We have been waiting here for several days!"
"Where the New Demon Emperor went, I wonder if he found that kid named Li Xuanxiao?"
"Why is the New Demon Emperor suddenly so interested in one Human Martial Artist?"
"That's no ordinary Human Martial Artist! A clansman of mine once caught a glimpse of him from afar; that Li Xuanxiao is definitely a Mystic Martial Artist!"
At these words, the group of demons instantly fell silent.
"That Li Xuanxiao is already famous among the Pei Prefecture demons. They all say that if you see a Rainbow Light, you must run immediately, without hesitating for a second!"
"What Rainbow Light?"
"It's that flying Cultivation Technique of Li Xuanxiao's. When he flies, he emits a dazzling Rainbow Light, which is simply incredibly provocative."
"Quite a few of our demon brethren were provoked by such arrogant behavior, attacked in anger, and ended up being slain!"
"This kid has truly wicked intentions. He is already that strong, yet he still uses such despicable means to lure demons over to kill!"
"It's a pity... no matter how strong he is, it's useless! Yu Prefecture has already fallen, and the Demon Emperors should have arrived at the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division by now."
"This battle, our Demon Race will surely win!"
A Bear Demon suddenly stood up and walked towards a commoner.
It extended its huge bear paw, casually grasped the man's head, and lifted him into the air.
The surrounding commoners let out a series of startled cries of terror, all quickly moving away from that man's position, afraid they would be next.
The Bear Demon held the man up, its cavernous mouth opened, revealing fangs laced with scarlet blood Silk, emitting a sticky, foul odor.
"Ahhhhhh—"
A tragic scream echoed across the scene. The next second, the entire person was thrown into the Bear Demon's mouth.
With a grating, teeth-aching crunch, the scream instantly fell silent.
Trickling blood flowed out of the Bear Demon's mouth...
"Xiong Da, the New Demon Emperor said not to touch these Mortals!"
"I was too hungry! The New Demon Emperor has not returned for so long, I couldn't hold back."
"If you act against the New Demon Emperor's will like this, aren't you afraid of punishment?"
"Damn it! You all talk about the New Demon Emperor morning and night. Have you forgotten which side you belong to as demons?"
"If the Pei Prefecture Demon Emperor hadn't given the order, I wouldn't listen to that brat's command!"
"You can't do this, you can't do that either. We are demons, and what demon doesn't eat people!"
"Is being from the Myriad Demon Nation somehow nobler? I just ate one, let's see what it can do to me!"
Before the other demons could speak, they heard a calm voice ring out: "Oh? Let's see what I can do?"
The Brocade Noble Young Master walked out with his hands behind his back and stood before the demons.
The demons almost instantly sat up straight, their bodies involuntarily tensing, and they all silently lowered their heads.
The Bear Demon, which had been shouting defiantly just a second ago about 'What can you do to me,' instantly cowered.
It immediately knelt on the ground, repeatedly begging for mercy: "New Demon Emperor, please calm your anger. I was just too hungry and couldn't control myself for a moment."
"Please, New Demon Emperor, for the sake of my Bear Demon Clan's Demon Emperor, forgive my nonsense!"
The Brocade Noble Young Master spoke plainly, his voice devoid of any emotional color: "I said, before I returned, you were not allowed to touch these Mortals, correct?"
"Are all the demons here so undisciplined?"
"Also, let me remind you of one thing: the reason you must obey my orders is not because the Pei Prefecture Demon Emperor issued an order."
"But because, if you don't listen, I am entirely capable of making you disappear from this world. Do you understand?"
"The hand you used to grab that person just now, cut it off yourself, and this matter will be considered over."
The Bear Demon's face flickered with uncertainty. It looked at its own paw, still stained with blood, and hesitated to make a decision.
Unlike humans, the demon's body was their greatest reliance. Once maimed, their strength would be greatly reduced, and their future development would also be severely impacted.
The Brocade Noble Young Master glanced at it indifferently: "I will not say it a second time."
The Bear Demon took a deep breath, suddenly leaped up, and actually lunged toward the Brocade Noble Young Master: "I'll fight you to the death!"
The other demons were greatly alarmed and shouted, preparing to intervene.
A cyan imprint appeared in the Brocade Noble Young Master's eyes: "You disappoint me too much."
The next second, a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!
The moment it touched the Bear Demon, the entire creature instantly vaporized, dissipating into the heavens and earth.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The demons almost involuntarily knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
In that instant, they all experienced a terrifying pressure akin to the arrival of the apocalypse.
Rumble—
Several seconds later, a tremendous clap of thunder finally echoed through the clouds.
"Let's go."
The demons were astonished: "New Demon Emperor, are we not continuing with the planned action?"
The Brocade Noble Young Master shook his head: "The objective has been achieved; there is no need to continue the action."
