Chapter 767: The Expansiveness of Demon City In Mortal Realm

She entrusted the more challenging tasks to the strongest among them, a choice born from her understanding of their abilities.

The group was taken aback. This marked the first occasion on which she had provided such direct orders, her demeanor radiating the authoritative presence of a leader. The way she approached organization and devised strategies was nothing short of remarkable. In the past, she tended to create plans that offered the easiest solutions for them to follow, allowing them the freedom to choose their actions. However, today, she took charge, guiding them with unwavering confidence.

"Everyone, I need your strength and support," she announced with a serious tone, oblivious to the startled look in Bing Xue’s eyes.

"We are all your comrades, master. Your words are our duty and we will fulfill them," the beasts declared proudly, their chests puffed out in expressions of admiration and loyalty.

"Does anyone have any objections or alternative suggestions?" she inquired, demonstrating a willingness to hear their thoughts and honor their perspectives.

"No!" they responded in unison.

"Where is Pei Zhi?" she finally queried, an hour later, after collaborating with them on various strategies.

"He’s in training," Xiao Yun replied, nestled comfortably in her embrace, clearly relishing the closeness.

"Master, you can’t just keep holding Boss Yun," Xiao Li complained playfully, a hint of jealousy in his tone as he approached her for attention." Shenlian Yingyue beamed brightly and opened her arms wide, inviting those around her for a warm embrace.

Everyone exchanged knowing glances and chimed in unison, "Oh, you mischievous fox!"

"But what will you do, Yue’er?" Shenlian Yinzhu and a few others queried, their enthusiasm for her plan noticeably waning.

"I’m going to find the Demon King. Armed with the black sword and accompanied by Vine Terror, my formidable allies," she declared, noticing their hesitant expressions. To quell their worries, she quickly emphasized the black sword’s formidable power.

"Just be careful, Yue’er."

"Please take care of yourself, Master."

To her surprise, everyone accepted her decision, leaving her feeling astonished. In the past, any time she proposed something risky, they would have tried to stop her. Now, their faith in her decision filled her with joy.

Her radiant smile lit up the room, captivating everyone around her.

Shenlian Sheshan was right; they should trust her and not confine her due to their love and concern. True love meant granting her the freedom she desired, even if it didn’t include liberating her from their embraces.

What they didn’t realize was that beneath the surface, each held a deep concern for her, while their possessive natures began to twist in unexpected ways. However, that was a matter for later; for now, the truth remained hidden.

She carefully wrapped herself in her cloak and donned a mask to conceal her identity. Her lithe figure moved confidently through Demon City, but if one looked closely, they would notice her unusually swift steps, as though she were racing to complete her mission.

"True, but it still hurts. Many of us have been injured by those potent human cultivators and demigods. Some are still unable to fully recover." Their anger bubbled to the surface. Despite their resilience, the time required to heal depended on the severity of their wounds.

"Especially the descendants of demigods. Even though they haven’t reached a thousand years of age, their power is formidable. If they are this capable, why do they remain in this low-tier continent?" They mused in confusion.

Shenlian Yingyue’s expression sharpened. Those demigods they spoke of referred to the Ji and Di clans.

She recalled Lao Gu’s revelation that everyone within the Di and Ji clans were, in fact, demigods. That moment had filled her with deep apprehension, just like everyone else around her. (Ch. 624)

The city before her was immense; she still hadn’t reached the central area. Determined, she pushed her speed to the limit.

After three long hours, she finally arrived at the city’s core. Her heart raced as her lips curled into a small grimace.

This ancient world was staggering in size, unlike the cities of the modern era. Her speed surpassed twice that of the fastest car ever made, the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which boasts a theoretical top speed of over 310 mph (480 km/h). Despite this, it took her five hours to reach the center. Just imagine the scale of this city!

She could resort to a teleportation spell, but that would certainly draw the demons’ attention. She preferred to keep a low profile.

As if her swift flight could go unnoticed, Xiao Yun and everyone could only sweat at the spectacle.
