607: Take it out and roast it

“Second Elder?”

Yang Lingchen frowned tightly but still walked out of the iron cage. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to escape from this arena.

Led by the Yao Race Guards, Yang Lingchen arrived at a Pavilion outside the arena.

Along the way, he wanted to escape many times, but he ultimately held back. This was Myriad Demon City, after all, and escaping from here would be extremely difficult. Once he failed, there would be no chance of survival.

“Human Brat, I didn't expect you to be hiding your true abilities so deeply!” Hei Beishang's sinister voice sounded from behind Yang Lingchen.

Hearing the voice, Yang Lingchen quickly turned around and politely asked, “Senior, why are you looking for me?”

When under someone else's roof, one must bow one's head; he understood this principle.

“Follow me! The City Lord wants to see you.” Hei Beishang glanced at Yang Lingchen and then walked out of the Pavilion first.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly followed.

He could tell that Hei Beishang's cultivation level had reached at least the Heavenly Dao Realm Fifth Layer, and with his current strength, it would be impossible to escape from the other party's grasp.

Led by Hei Beishang, Yang Lingchen walked on the streets of Myriad Demon City for the first time. Myriad Demon City was not much different from a Human Race city.

Once their cultivation level reached this Realm, many of the Yao Race appeared in the city in human form.

These Yao Race individuals also had their own management system, and conflicts rarely occurred within the city.

Along the way, many Yao Race women threw flirtatious glances at Yang Lingchen, and some bold ones even partially stripped off their clothes, striking various seductive poses.

“Damn it!” Yang Lingchen cursed inwardly.

He had to admit that Yao Race women were indeed daring.

Before long, Yang Lingchen arrived in front of a magnificent, majestic building.

Standing at the entrance of this building were two Yao Race Guards wearing armor.

Yang Lingchen could tell that this must be the Myriad Demon City Lord's Residence.

After entering the City Lord's Residence, Hei Beishang led Yang Lingchen to the garden in the back courtyard of the City Lord's Residence.

“Wait here. The City Lord will arrive shortly.” After Hei Beishang finished speaking, he left the City Lord's Residence.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen sat down directly in the Pavilion in the back garden.

About fifteen minutes later, Wan Qianqian's figure appeared in the Pavilion.

Today, she was wearing a long purple-black dress. Her peerless face, snowy complexion, crimson lips, and rosy cheeks, along with a pair of captivating beautiful eyes, exuded a hint of seductive and charming Aura.

“Greetings, City Lord.”

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly stood up. Judging by the other party's Aura, he knew this woman was definitely not ordinary.

“How did you know I was the City Lord?” Wan Qianqian asked charmingly.

“Although my strength is low, my judgment of people is quite good,” Yang Lingchen said, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Oh, tell me how you recognized me,” Wan Qianqian smiled faintly.

“Your Aura, appearance, and strength—if you are not the City Lord in this Myriad Demon City, who else would be qualified?” Yang Lingchen quickly flattered her.

“Your mouth is quite sweet.”

Wan Qianqian gave a charming smile, then slowly walked up to Yang Lingchen, hooked his chin, and asked, “Do you know why this City Lord is looking for you?”

“Please tell me, City Lord. I will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation,” Yang Lingchen said righteously.

“You said that yourself,” Wan Qianqian chuckled charmingly.

“It is my honor to serve the City Lord,” Yang Lingchen said.

This was Myriad Demon City, after all. If flattery could solve his troubles, he didn't mind using it. Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party had to be a woman, as he didn't have the habit of flattering men.

“If This Seat is not mistaken, your combat power should be invincible within the Haotian Realm, right?” Wan Qianqian curved her lips into a slight smile.

“Is the City Lord thinking too highly of me?” Yang Lingchen said. He naturally wouldn't admit to something that exposed his true strength.

“So, this City Lord did think too highly of you.” As Wan Qianqian's voice fell, a cold Killing Intent spread from her body, and she said coldly, “Great Peng.”

“Your Subordinate is here.” A middle-aged man with wings growing on his back instantly appeared outside the Pavilion.

“Take him out and roast him. Don't make him too salty.” After Wan Qianqian finished speaking, she instantly struck out with a palm, directly sealing Yang Lingchen's cultivation level.

“Yes, City Lord.” The Golden-winged Great Peng flashed and instantly appeared in front of Yang Lingchen.

“City Lord, I have something to say.”

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly spoke. He hadn't expected the other party to turn hostile so quickly. If he didn't confess honestly now, the other party might genuinely roast him.

“Say whatever you want to say!” A hint of slyness curved Wan Qianqian's lips.

“With my strength, I am indeed an invincible existence within the Haotian Realm,” Yang Lingchen admitted.

“This City Lord will now give you a chance. Two months from now is the Grand Competition among the major powers of the Dragon God Star Domain. If you can lead Myriad Demon City to a good ranking, this City Lord will not only restore your freedom but also give you unexpected benefits,” Wan Qianqian said.

“The Grand Competition among the major powers of the Dragon God Star Domain? Are there any restrictions?” Yang Lingchen frowned and asked.

“There are no restrictions. Anyone whose cultivation level is within the Haotian Realm can participate,” Wan Qianqian replied.

“What kind of ranking counts as a good ranking?” Yang Lingchen asked. He had to clarify this point.

“As long as you represent Myriad Demon City and secure a spot in the Top Ten, this City Lord will grant you freedom, and all the rewards you obtain during the Grand Competition will belong to you personally,” Wan Qianqian stated.

“Alright, it's a deal.” Yang Lingchen readily agreed.

He was very confident in Haotian Realm level battles. Unless he encountered a Heaven-Defying Prodigy like Yang Tianlang, no one in the Haotian Realm could injure him.

Most importantly, if he won the champion title, he would not only gain his freedom but also receive the champion's reward, which was why he agreed so readily.

“What is your name?” Wan Qianqian asked.

“Yang Lingchen.”

“From today onward, you will live in the City Lord's Residence!” Wan Qianqian finished speaking, tossed a Token to Yang Lingchen, and said, “If you need anything, you can simply instruct them.”

“Can I walk around Myriad Demon City freely?” Yang Lingchen asked.

“Of course you can, but This Seat warns you: if you dare to escape, you will bear the consequences.” Wan Qianqian shot out a cold Killing Intent from her eyes.

“How could I? When I, Yang Lingchen, speak, I always keep my word. I will definitely fulfill what I promised you,” Yang Lingchen quickly guaranteed.

In this strange Star Domain, he didn't want to run around recklessly either. Who knew what kind of dangers this place held.

Over the next few days, Yang Lingchen stayed in the City Lord's Residence, occasionally taking casual strolls through Myriad Demon City.

Perhaps because Wan Qianqian had given instructions, Yang Lingchen did not encounter any trouble in Myriad Demon City.

During these few days, Wan Qianqian never appeared again, but Hei Beishang showed up a few times, even taking Yang Lingchen to tour Myriad Demon City.

Through the interactions of the past few days, Yang Lingchen realized that the Yao Race people were actually quite straightforward, whereas the human heart was much harder to fathom.

Since the Yao Race and Human Race belonged to different races, contradictions between them were inevitable. Just as humans hunted Yao Beasts, Yao Beasts would similarly hunt humans.

Yang Lingchen held no prejudice against the Yao Race. All things in heaven and earth possessed spirituality, and every race had good and bad individuals. Relatively speaking, the human heart was more sinister, while the Yao Race was less cunning.

Because the Yao Race always advocated violence, they generally wouldn't choose schemes if a problem could be solved by force. Thus, in some ways, the human heart was actually more terrifying... To be continued?
