Xu Chen and Qingyin finally managed to escape from the West Zun Palace. They encountered countless attacks from toads along the way, but these toads were mainly targeting the West Zun Palace. They chased Xu Chen and Qingyin for a while, but gave up when they couldn't catch up.
Xu Chen and Qingyin didn't bother to kill these low-level monsters to avoid attracting more toads.
"Phew... We finally... escaped!" Xu Chen supported his knees with both hands, panting.
"Yeah... I endured humiliation here for hundreds of years, but finally, I'm free!" Qingyin's neck was dripping with sweat as well. She wiped her forehead and stood on the cliff, looking into the distance. However, this was the underground world, and it was hot and stuffy everywhere. Even on the cliff, it wasn't much cooler!
"I feel sticky and humid all over!" Qingyin complained.
"Let's go ahead and see if there's a demon village, somewhere we can take a bath!" Xu Chen suggested.
"Why bother? My magic power can transform into frost and water. Xu Chen, let's find a secluded place, take off our clothes, and wash ourselves!" Qingyin laughed.
"Huh???"
After a while, Xu Chen stood in front of a large rock while the sound of rushing water came from behind.
"Really, Qingyin, we're both girls now, why do we still have to be so secretive?" Xu Chen asked.
"Hmph, you still have the heart of a man, Xu Chen! How can I let you see so casually!"
When it was Xu Chen's turn to bathe, Qingyin also used the rock to splash water behind it for Xu Chen to bathe.
After bathing, Xu Chen changed into a more neutral shirt and pants. Although he still looked like a girl, at least he was dressed as a man.
"Alright!" Xu Chen said, "During the crisis earlier, there was no time to break the restrictio ns on this ring. Now that it's broken, let's see what's inside!"
In the previous battle, Xu Chen used his mental power to secretly attack West Zun, but the power of his mind was limited by his own cultivation level. If it wasn't for the Golden Toad Demon Lord's full force attack that pierced through West Zun's defense and muscles, Xu Chen wouldn't have been able to hurt him with his mind alone!
The Golden Toad Demon Lord's treasures were all plundered by West Zun, except for this dagger forged with his essence. As for West Zun, he had too many treasures!
There were plenty of Demon-crushing Crystals alone! It was estimated to be enough to allow Qingyin to cultivate to the peak of a Demon Lord.
However, there were very few Divine Jades. After all, West Zun didn't need them. In total, there were only twelve pieces. Xu Chen immediately understood. After his comprehension, the divine power fluctuations inside the Divine Jades disappeared, turning them into dull and ordinary stones. This time, Xu Chen's strength was raised to the mid-late stage of Heavenly General!
There were also plenty of weapons, armors, gems, medicines, and even many aphrodisiacs specifically for women! Qingyin blushed when she saw them.
"This West Zun is really a lecherous demon! Fortunately, I escaped before falling into his hands!" Qingyin said worriedly.
"It's a pity that there don't seem to be any treasures suitable for Qingyin. These things are worth a lot of money. Let's find a place to sell them when we get back!" Xu Chen said.
"Okay!"
Xu Chen searched the entire spatial ring. In addition to various treasures, there were also 230,000 magic stones (spirit stones). One magic stone was equivalent to one thousand pieces! This was a real fortune!
"If there are no suitable treasures, we can buy them! Haha!"
Xu Chen carried the Golden Toad Dagger, the final treasure of the Golden Toad Demon Lord, with him. This was a rare treasure used for assassinations with mental power! Then Xu Chen randomly picked a high-quality magic sword to use.
There were also seven or eight flying treasures in the ring!
Among them, a black-armored Qilin car was a high-quality flying treasure with strong speed and defense. Xu Chen easily refined it with his mind.
"Qingyin, we have a car now!"
"Hehe, that's great!"
Aside from necessary items, Xu Chen threw the rest of the treasures along with the entire spatial ring to Qingyin. "Qingyin, keep this!"
"Hey? All for me?"
"Hehe, these are the assets of our mercenary group. When we find Star Dance later, she will be responsible for keeping them. For now, let's leave them with you!" Xu Chen said.
"Mm!"
Xu Chen and Qingyin got on the Black Kirin vehicle and operated the flying car, heading towards the Star Moon Cave Mansion in Huoshu Country.
It would be a three-day journey!
However, on the first day of flying in the sky.
"Xu Chen! Look, there seems to be something following us outside the window!" Qingyin looked out of the car window and said.
Xu Chen also noticed it. They were not good at aerial combat, so they stopped the Kirin vehicle on top of a mountain. Xu Chen and Qingyin got off the car.
"I wonder which hero is following us?" Xu Chen asked directly.
From the sky, two raven people with black wings and crow-tengu faces flew down. They were both powerful monsters, posing no threat to Xu Chen and Qingyin.
"Two divine sisters! We apologize for the offense. We are Yatengu from the Demon Capital, searching for powerful individuals in this demon realm and inviting them to visit our Demon Capital!" one of the crow-tengu said.
"Demon Capital?" Xu Chen and Qingyin were taken aback.
"Hehe, it's normal for the two divine sisters to react this way. Our Demon Capital was established in the central core of the first level of the Demon Realm only a few hundred years ago. Although it was built relatively recently, its scale is extremely vast. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Demon Capital is the largest and most prosperous city in the Demon Realm!!! It has all kinds of rare treasures, luxurious entertainment facilities, and can meet all kinds of needs. It has a market that stretches for ten thousand li, a treasure tower that is millions of feet high, and various forces have established branch bases there. Currently, there are already millions of experts above the Demon King level residing there, and the number of residents is countless! More importantly, the Demon Capital has a powerful army, the Demon Capital Guard, guarding it. Fighting is prohibited inside the city, making it extremely safe. It also has a gateway to the Abyss that leads from the second to the fifteenth level. Adventurers from all over the Demon Realm can directly travel between the Demon Capital and the Abyss, making adventure more convenient! Most of the experts in the central region have already moved to the Demon Capital! Even in the remote western region of the Demon Realm, those who have heard this news mostly want to go and see! The two divine sisters have extraordinary appearances and high ambitions. I believe you will not be satisfied with staying in this barren land in the western region. I sincerely invite the two divine sisters to visit our Demon Capital! Whether you choose to settle there or not, you will make a decision after seeing it!" the crow-tengu said.
"Demon Capital?" Qingyin's eyes lit up. Women always liked bustling cities that never sleep. "Xu Chen, the news in the Demon Realm is blocked, and we need to go to such a metropolis to see for ourselves. We can also obtain a lot of information about our next moves!"
"Well, Qingyin, you're right! The Demon Realm is so vast that our current exploration is like finding a needle in the sea. It would be better to go to the Demon Capital than to wander aimlessly. However, we need to go to Huoshu Country first to meet the Star Dancer. Besides, I am more interested in the Tianle Pavilion in Huoshu Country." Xu Chen said.
"The two divine sisters don't need to be in a hurry. I have a Demon Capital token here. Please keep it. It records the position of the Demon Capital. Moreover, this token is also a pass to enter the Demon Capital. The two sisters can go there after finishing your tasks!" The crow-tengu handed over a black token with a red '京' written on it to Xu Chen and Qingyin.
"Great! Thank you! We will definitely go and have a look when we have the time!" Qingyin took the token and smiled.
"In that case, I won't disturb the two divine sisters any longer. I will go with my junior brother to find other experts in the western demon realm and distribute these tokens. Farewell, two divine sisters!" The two crow-tengu respectfully bowed and flew away!
"It seems that the Demon Capital is not an ordinary place! The messengers who come out of there are also so well-mannered! They didn't even spare us a sideways glance. It's really not easy for demons and monsters!" Qingyin said with a smile.
"Yes, they are obviously not targeting us. They are issuing a wide call to gather. It seems that the Demon Capital is truly extraordinary. After we meet Star Dancer and confirm the situation, let's go and see the Demon Capital!" Xu Chen said.
"Great!" Qingyin smiled and replied.
