Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 304 The Demon Capital Opens

News of the opening of the Demon Capital quickly reached Crescent Moon City.

Zhuque glanced at the lazy Yun Yi and said irritably, "Oh no, we're a step behind them."

Yun Yi yawned and said leisurely, "Who told you to give me such a big gift?"

"Say that again?!"

"I'm not going to say anything more, you don't need to rush. I never intended to be the first to enter."

"Why?"

"Lan Zhenxin and Wen Daoxian want the same thing, so there will probably be a big battle. If I get involved, it will be troublesome."

Zhuque blinked: "I don't quite understand. I only know that if you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step."

Yun Yi thought to himself, "You don't understand. The Heavenly Pillar is a vital thing in the human world, and its hiding place contains hidden secrets."

For example, the Heavenly Pillar of the Fuyou Sect is hidden in the Lingxiao Platform. Without an Ascension Realm cultivator breaking the mechanism, it is extremely difficult to make it appear.

For example, the Heavenly Pillar of Fusheng Temple is hidden within the Fusheng Secret Treasury, and can only be seen by passing through the Realm of No Consciousness.

The Demon Capital has a long history, and the methods used to hide Tianzhu are probably even more bizarre. It would be better to let Zhao Wuxiang keep busy for a while.

Seeing that Yun Yi seemed genuinely confident, Zhuque asked, "Then why don't we rest for a while before heading to the Demon Capital?"

Yun Yi asked in surprise, "Again?"

Suzaku: "If you don't want to, then get moving right now!"

Her voice was full of energy, and it sounded like her cultivation had increased considerably.

This made Yun Yi wonder if his body was some rare treasure, since Song Xinci's cultivation broke through on their wedding night and Zhuque had also made progress today.

Zhuque could tell that he wasn't thinking anything good, so she forcibly dragged him out of the room.

At this time, the disciples of Burial Sword Valley had already gathered in the backyard, and Pei Jianjia had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Yun Yi arrive, she wore a half-smile, "Young Master Yun, you certainly have a good time."

Yun Yi said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have made Senior Pei laugh at me."

"That's understandable. That cup of wine is a secret technique of the Hehuan Sect. Although it has a miraculous effect on increasing cultivation, it also has some negligible side effects."

Zhuque blushed deeply and whispered to Pei Jianjia, "Good sister, please stop talking."

Pei Jianjia smiled and asked, "What's our next move?"

Yun Yi put away his romantic thoughts and explained, "The strongest group of people have already entered the Demon Capital. However, the righteous disciples will be a little slower. For them, treasure hunting is not the main purpose. Coming out to train is the real business."

"In my opinion, we should act in accordance with the righteous path this time. We should not force opportunities when they arise, lest we lose our lives by accident."

"Senior Pei, please join me with Zhuque. We can communicate with each other using the communication jade talisman. I have prior agreements with the other two forces, so it would be best if I acted alone."

Suzaku asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can manage on your own?"

“If I encounter someone I can’t afford to offend, I will naturally run away. Besides, ‘being without desires makes one invincible.’ I have no desires for demons. On the contrary, they should be the ones who are wary of me.”

"Okay, then be careful."

Yun Yi gave Pei Jianjia a deep look, and she nodded slightly to reassure him.

As long as Pei Jianjia is stationed in the rear, Burial Sword Valley will be safe.

It could even be said that Zhao Wuxiang is in a precarious situation.

Under the watchful eye of the Vermilion Bird, Yun Yi flew away on his sword. As soon as he left Crescent Moon City, he encountered a group from the Righteous Qi Sect.

Yuan Duoqing and Chu Qiaoqiao led the team, walking side by side, looking quite well-matched. "Brother Yun!" Yuan Duoqing recognized Yun Yi first and took the initiative to catch up with him on her sword, "Would you like to come with us?"

Yun Yi declined, saying, "The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow. It's easier for me to act alone."

"Alright, but we made a prior agreement that we'd help each other out if we ran into trouble!"

"Don't worry, since I promised your senior brother, I will never go back on my word." Yun Yi thought to himself that the disciples of Burial Sword Valley would definitely not provoke the Righteous Qi Sect, but it was hard to say about the others.

He said goodbye and sped off towards the Demon City.

As the demonic energy surged forth and began to disperse in all directions, the storm was already showing signs of weakening. It was likely that the strong wind that had been blowing for so long would soon come to an end.

Even so, most cultivators found it extremely difficult to advance against the fierce winds.

Yun Yi held the Fangyuan Sword, his sword intent pure and refined. Although he arrived late, he was able to strike first despite being late.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finally arrived at the entrance to the Demon Capital.

Looking at the dragon-like city in front of him, he wondered if Feng Mo and his men had been inside for some time and if they had found anything of value.

More importantly, did Futiange find the Heavenly Pillar?

Most likely not.

Because there has been no unusual phenomenon caused by the shattering of the Heavenly Pillar, and even more strangely, the aura of the Heavenly Pillar cannot be sensed at all in the Demon Capital.

Yun Yi thought that the Heavenly Pillar must be hidden somewhere, and Zhao Wuxiang had not found it yet, which was why there was no movement.

Besides that, there was something else that particularly intrigued him: the Demon Capital seemed far too quiet, and there was no sound from the demon beasts within.

This isn't quite right.

There's probably a hidden secret.

Yun Yi had not participated in the events in the Demon Capital in his previous life and did not have much of an impression of it, so he could only proceed cautiously at this moment.

After confirming that everything was ready, he rode his sword and rushed into the gate that resembled the gaping maw of a dragon.

As his body entered the Demon Capital, the scene before him suddenly lost its color. In an instant, the light of heaven and earth dimmed, and the demonic energy became so dense that it almost turned into wisps of smoke.

Yun Yi suddenly realized that the Demon Capital was actually a huge city, but it was later swallowed up by the descendants of Zhu Jiuyin.

Strangely, it did not digest the city; instead, it kept it in its belly and swallowed many monsters, allowing them to live in the city.

Until the descendant of Zhujiuyin was killed by the immortal, the demon within its belly finally reappeared in the world, and after being bathed in dragon blood and fused with dragon bones, it is still under the protection of Zhujiuyin to this day.

Yun Yi was in the city. He looked around and found that the entire city had become intertwined with the dragon bones.

It's less like a demon city and more like a dragon city.

In addition, Yun Yi also discovered that the demonic energy in this place was too strong, which suppressed his own spiritual power and made it difficult to project his divine sense. For a time, he was unable to detect the whereabouts of Lan Zhenxin and the others.

He listened intently to the wind but heard no sounds of fighting, so he figured the group must be busy exploring deeper into the demon capital.

After all, the best things are often hidden in the back.

Yun Yi was not in a hurry. He knew that the Hehuan Sect had also set up the Paradise Heaven, making people mistakenly believe that the greatest benefit was in it.

Who would have thought that the biggest benefit would be being possessed by Pei Jianjia?

The Demon Capital is the dwelling place of the ancient demon race, and its eeriness is comparable to that of the Eternal Fallen Heaven. You must be careful.

Yun Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing through the layers of demonic energy. He had only been in the demon capital for a short while when he had already spotted several cubs of ancient demonic beasts.

They appear to be in no danger at this moment because they were unable to grow up in the demon capital due to the previous seal.
