Nightmare Demon City
Nightmare Demon City is located in the remote and continuous mountain range to the east of the Henghai Sea. The entire eastern region of Henghai is covered with treacherous mountains and occupies a vast area. Many intercity trades require passing through this vast Heng Mountain Range.
Merchants often hire soul pets with exceptionally high endurance to transport goods. Sometimes, they would spend a significant amount of money to hire flying soul pets to transport their goods from the southern cities of the Heng Mountain Range to the north.
However, flying soul pets are undoubtedly very expensive, and not every merchant or every product can afford such transportation costs.
Of course, crossing mountains and ridges is also impractical, so it is necessary to traverse this continuous Heng Mountain Range. There are only two very smooth roads across the Heng Mountain Range, running from south to north. At the north end of the mountain range, they converge. The intersection of these two necessary roads is precisely Nightmare Demon City. Nightmare Demon City is a bustling tenth-level city and holds the most authoritative position on this vast continent.
Xia Guanghan’s Winged Rank Tiger had been carrying Chu Mu in flight non-stop for a month, finally bringing him to the distant Nightmare Demon
As Chu Mu rode the Winged Rank Tiger over Nightmare Demon City, he felt a surge of emotions!
Gangluo City is an eighth-level city, two levels lower compared to Nightmare Demon City. The majestic and imposing grandeur of Nightmare Demon City is awe-inspiring, especially when viewed from the misty sky above. It left an unforgettable impression on Chu Mu that took a long time to calm down.
Solemn, ancient, like a giant creature prostrate in the very central of the boundless mountain range, it exudes a profound sense of historical heritage while simultaneously emitting an unembellished aura of a king!
The airspace of every large city is strictly prohibited from being entered by soul pets and their trainers.
The magnificent Nightmare Demon City is also no exception for flying soul pets. However, this prohibition is relative to the vast majority of people. If a person has a certain status in the city, they can be granted the privilege to fly through the city’s airspace. Those who can obtain this privilege are often the higher-ups of the city!
When the Winged Rank Tiger carried Chu Mu into Nightmare Demon City, a group of Nightmare Demon Palace’s Executors quickly arrived on winged soul pets to stop them.
However, when these ten Executors in mid-air patrol recognized Xia
Guanghan’s Winged Rank Tiger, they all showed their respect and gave way!
These ten air patrol Executors are all Soul Warriors and control War General level soul pets of the fifth rank or higher. Yet, they are only one of nearly a
thousand air knights in the entire city, which shows the formidable power of Nightmare Demon City!
Nightmare Demon Palace Battlefield
The Nightmare Demon Palace Battlefield is located in the very center of the entire city. It is a vast, flat rocky area. Standing in the center, if one ignores the magnificent palaces and buildings in the distance, it feels as if they are in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
The battlefield is designed to simulate the wild environment. In the center of this rocky Gobi, there is a deep and unfathomable crevice. The crevice winds and twists, dividing the entire field into two sides.
At this moment, several imposing soul pets were standing on the edges of the crevice on both sides of the battlefield. Confronting each other with anger across the obstacle of sand and rock!
There is a high seat to the north of the battlefield, from which one can overlook the vast battlefield. Soul Pet Masters’ vision far exceeds that of ordinary people, so even from this perch, one can clearly watch the battle unfold over the expansive field.
About a dozen people sit on the high seats, with Xia Guanghan being the leader. Beside him sit other various people of importance. Xia Guanghan, with an indifferent expression, does not seem too interested in the soul pet duel between the two youths on the battlefield, as if he has already predicted the outcome.
Sir Xia seems a bit listless,” Su Yu slowly muttered.
Xia Guanghan just nodded and slowly said, “The outcome will be determined within three minutes.”
Su Yu on the side also laughed, “Sir Xia, it seems that this position is ultimately going to be mine.”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, an elder-like man sitting next to Su Yu laughed and said, “Su Nightmare Young Master, it seems that you are too confident. Don’t forget the rising star of the Nightmare Demon Palace who could control a Blue Nightmare Demon at the age of eighteen— Jia Ming.”
“Elder Zhou, it seems that you appreciate Jia Ming very much,” Su Yu said dismissively.
“Of course, he’s up next, and I can bet a Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal that Jia Ming will defeat the forceful contender who controls the fifth-rank Horror Wolf within ten minutes,” said the man known as Elder Zhou, laughing.
Elder Zhou’s position in Nightmare Demon Palace is second only to Xia
Guanghan. This time, Xia Guanghan presides over the selection of a close attendant for the Little Princess, with Elder Zhou serving as a supervisor.
In name, this competition among many talented young experts from Nightmare Demon Palace is meant to select a loyal attendant for the Little Princess.
However, in reality, Xia Guanghan has been extremely strict during the selection, which has led some smart individuals to speculate that this position might be related to a major matter in the future.
So, although this attendant selection was somewhat low-key, many high-status young warriors deliberately put down their status to compete for this position.
Among them was Su Yu, the eldest son of Blue Nightmare Demon Palace’s Master. He was determined to win the position after receiving news about the upcoming events.
Su Yu already had a reputation in the Nightmare Demon Palace, and his incredibly domineering Blue Nightmare Demon made him have few rivals among his peers. It was precisely because of this guy’s involvement that more than half of the people who were originally competing for this position voluntarily gave up…
Jia Ming was also an outstanding figure among the youngsters. This young man had climbed up from the bottom and was valued by Elder Zhou. After some years of cultivation, Jia Ming now had great potential in the Nightmare Demon Palace. Like Su Yu, he had obtained the highest honor of the younger generation in the Nightmare Demon Palace, the title of “Nightmare Demon Young Master.”
“Eight minutes, hehe. It seems that Jia Ming’s strength has grown recently. He resolved the First Level Soul Master in just eight minutes,” said Elder Zhou, looking at the young man in the blue robe on the battlefield with a satisfied smile on his face.
As Jia Ming was nurtured by Elder Zhou, it was only natural that Elder Zhou would want Jia Ming to win this crucial position.
“Elder Zhou, since you just used a Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal as a stake to guarantee that Jia Ming would win within ten minutes….”
At this moment, Su Yu showed a confident smile and slowly spoke, “In that case, I, Su Yu, will also use a Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal as a stake. I will resolve Jia Ming within ten minutes. If I can’t, I will admit defeat after ten minutes, and this Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal will be yours.”
As he said this, Su Yu had already taken a crystal-clear Soul Crystal from his Space Ring.
“Beast type, Thunder type dual-attribute Level 4 Soul Crystal!!” Elder Zhou was stunned, having not expected Su Yu to be so arrogant. It took him a while to say, “Are you sure you want to use this as a stake?”
“Yes.”
“What do you want if you win?” asked Elder Zhou.
“I don’t want anything. This bet is just to let you know that, in my eyes, Jia Ming is just a piece of garbage,” Su Yu mocked.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately showed an astonished expression, looking at Su Yu who had deliberately provoked the situation.
Xia Guanghan, with a cold face, looked at Su Yu and slowly spoke, “You truly are Nightmare Demon Palace’s Number One Arrogant.”
Su Yu shrugged indifferently, reciting a spell to control a strong gust of wind, his body floating up from the high seat and quickly flying into the battlefield. He directly faced Jia Ming, who had just finished the battle, across the deep crevice.
“Lord Xia, do you think Su Yu can really resolve Jia Ming within ten minutes? Jia Ming’s strength is not ordinary,” whispered the woman standing beside Xia Guanghan.
This woman was Xia Guanghan’s personal female attendant, who, like Xia Guanghan, had a cold ice-like demeanor.
“Yes, he has that strength.”
The battle had already begun. However, with the passage of time, Elder Zhou, who had hoped to win the Level 4 Soul Crystal, became increasingly gloomy.
Seeing the scenes on the battlefield, Elder Zhou had to admit that he had indeed underestimated Su Yu’s strength.
“Seven minutes… even faster than Jia Ming defeating those ordinary opponents…”
“It’s no wonder he’s the Number One Arrogant of the Nightmare Demon Palace. Su Yu does indeed have the capital to be arrogant, defeating Jia Ming in just seven minutes without even summoning the Blue Nightmare Demon.”
“Before, I thought Jia Ming’s strength was extraordinary, but now compared to the Number One Arrogant, the gap is still quite significant.”
Soon, discussions rang out among the high seats. Many people had only heard of Su Yu but had not witnessed him in person. Now that his true strength was revealed, it was indeed quite astonishing and well-deserved!
On the battlefield, Su Yu’s arrogant gaze stared at Jia Ming, who was kneeling on the ground with raised corners of his mouth. His arrogance was not concealed.
“With three more years of cultivation, you still won’t be a match for me.” Su Yu withdrew his Soul Pet and slowly walked back to his high seat, not sparing another glance at the defeated Jia Ming.
After returning to his high seat, Su Yu sat back down in his original position, looking disdainfully at Elder Zhou, whose face had turned somewhat gloomy. He looked at Xia Guanghan and said, “Lord Xia, you don’t seem to be someone who likes to drag things out. Why do you keep delaying the announcement of the result? Is there anyone more suitable for this position than me?”
Xia Guanghan glanced at Su Yu and then looked at the far end of the Nightmare Demon City. He soon withdrew his gaze and said, “Wait for ten minutes.” “Why wait ten minutes?” Su Yu asked in confusion.
“Lord Xia, there is no one here who can compete with Su Yu. In fact, among the
Nightmare Demon Palace, there are only a few people who can contend with Su Yu. Now that Su Yu has defeated all his opponents, is there still a need to hesitate?”
“Lord Xia, my ten minutes is very precious, but I am willing to wait if you give a reason,” Su Yu said.
Xia Guanghan looked at the sky above the Nightmare Demon City and soon recalled his gaze. He said, “Do you remember the strong competitor I told you about?”
“I have some impression.”
“He’s still alive, and he’s now in the sky above the Nightmare Demon City. If this person is still alive, this position may not necessarily be yours.”
