"Huh? Why is the street so deserted? I can't see a single person."
"Demon Spirit, is this the capital city you spoke of, the human capital?"
On the street, a small shadow was moving, occasionally circling around and slipping into some houses.
However, there was no sign of any living people in those houses.
The demon spirit felt something was strange. It wasn't his first time in Mingdu. Although he hadn't been there often, he remembered from that last glimpse that Mingdu was one of the most prosperous cities in the human world.
"It's definitely the capital city. Could it be that the humans here are holding some kind of large-scale event and have all gathered together? That's why there aren't many people in the outskirts?" The demon scratched his head.
Regent pulled back the restless Liya and said, "Let's go to the center of this human capital. There must be people in the central area."
The spirit nodded and slowly moved along the shadows at the edge of the street.
He needs to be careful; this is a major human capital, and there must be many human experts within it.
He needs to be careful not to get caught.
To humans, he is now a mobile 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, and he also carries two great gifts—no, three—and the fish-dragon is still perched on Lijing's head.
"Meow."
The fish-dragon looked at the demon spirit with its adorable big eyes, and it seemed as if the demon was thinking something bad.
The shadow moved cautiously. The demon spirit could only perceive a small area, roughly within a radius of ten meters. Perceiving a large area posed a significant risk of being discovered.
Lijing, with the ichthyosaur on her head, and Liya, along with the two mermaids and the ichthyosaur, stared wide-eyed at the scenery on both sides of the street, as if trying to take in the structure of every brick and stone.
Liya's eyes lit up, and her little body wiggled. If Lijing hadn't held her down, she probably would have jumped out at any moment.
"Ouch! Sister! You pressed my head too hard!"
"If I don't hold you down, are you planning to evolve the ability to stretch your neck?"
"They just wanted to enjoy the scenery!"
"Stick your head out to see the scenery? Is it because your eyes are inconvenient?"
"Ugh! I'm not talking to you anymore! I'm angry!"
"Hmph, try getting angry!"
Liya, who had been slapped, shrank back to the demon spirit with teary eyes and glared at Lijing.
The demon smiled bitterly. It was no use the little girl coming to him; he was also afraid of Lijing.
Although we are currently in the shadow world of demons, we are actually on land.
If Regent really loses her temper, with the Water Stone, she can turn this city into a vast ocean.
The demon spirit had no choice but to ignore Liya's plea for help; otherwise, his limited talent wouldn't be enough for Lijing to unleash several tsunamis.
After suppressing Liya, Lijing used her spirit's innate ability to look around the streets. The prosperity of Mingdu was no less than that of their mermaid clan's palace. The novel style attracted her attention, but she did not forget why she came here, and urged the spirit to move closer to the city center.
She needed to go check on that human as soon as possible.
She misses her teacher so much; she still hasn't finished even half of that "53" textbook!
She also came to understand the saying that knowledge is power. She used the "53" textbook to discipline her disobedient younger sister, and she became obedient with just one slap!
The fairy sensed Regent's passion and silently took two steps forward.
"Junior sister, let's secretly observe for a while! We need more evidence to prove it," the demon spirit instructed.
Regent narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile playing on her lips. "Junior brother, what should you call me?"
"Okay, senior sister, I understand!"
Spirits can be quite accommodating at times.
While wondering why she hadn't seen anyone, she walked towards the city center.
The demon spirit has a good memory; it still remembers where its little ancestor landed.
However, he soon saw a large group of people at the end of the street, with a large number of weapons sitting next to them.
"Demon! This is no friendly visitor!" Regent's hands swirled with water, ready to strike at any moment.
The demon calmly raised his hand to stop Lijing. "Don't rush. I'm not exaggerating, but these insignificant characters aren't qualified to sense me in this realm!"
As he spoke, the demon spirit quickly bypassed the squad at the stronghold.
The team was completely unaware of the demonic spirit moving in the shadows.
"That's strange. There weren't these people when we came here before. Could the city have been captured in such a short time?" the demon spirit muttered to itself, silently quickening its pace.
Regent frowned, pressing down on her restless younger sister with one hand. "If that's really the case, then we've probably made a wasted trip. If someone attacks, there will definitely be chaos in the city. That human might have already left!"
The spirit paused slightly, then increased the speed at which it manipulated the shadow to move several times over, but still reassured Regent, "It's not a big problem, I should be able to find him."
My little ancestor is quite close to that human. If there is any disaster, my little ancestor will definitely be able to sense it and then run away. That human will most likely stay in the same place as my little ancestor.
The closer they moved to the center, the more troops the demon encountered, and some groups dressed in the same clothes were being chased by the armed troops.
"That's a human soul tool?" Lijing pointed to a tall soul cannon, a look of seriousness flashing in her eyes.
What a terrifying weapon!
The demon spirit's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He nodded and answered Lijing's question, "Yes, humans have been developing these weapons. Sooner or later, we soul beasts will be unable to withstand them."
Upon hearing this, Regent narrowed her eyes slightly, firmly imprinting the scene of the fight outside into her mind.
The soul beasts on the mainland and the soul beasts in the ocean are the same.
Liya looked at the soul tool roaring with flames and shrank behind her sister in fear.
This is not the human world she imagined!
After some effort, the demon spirit arrived at the Aodu Hotel, and as expected, Qiu'er had already left.
The demon spirit thought for a moment about the fastest way to find the person, then ran to the rooftop and looked down over the entire Ming capital.
"There, on that giant ice tree, the power that human possessed was of the ice attribute."
Upon closer inspection, Lijing noticed that a battle was still raging at the Ice Tree, and approaching it now would be extremely risky.
However, in order to find the Soul Egg Master who abandoned her and her fellow disciples, she had to seize this possible opportunity.
Two suits of armor materialized from the Water Stone. Regent solemnly told Liya, "You must stay close to Xiaomi! Do you hear me?! This isn't the Deep Sea; danger lurks everywhere! If you're in danger, call for your sister! Do you hear me?!"
Liya nodded in agreement with a serious face, letting the fish-dragon jump onto her head.
The latest novel is first published here!
With a wave of his hand, the demon spirit unleashed countless black shadows from his body, forming layers of light that enveloped the beasts. These shadows then transformed into a black arrow and hurtled toward the place where the ice tree had grown.
On the way, the demon encountered a group of evil humans who appeared out of nowhere.
Those evil humans took advantage of the chaos to reap the lives of other humans, and they did so in a very ferocious manner.
But the demon spirit had no time to deal with this matter; he didn't care about the internal strife among humans as long as it didn't affect him.
The closer they got to the ice tree, the more terrifying the chill became to the spirit and Lijing.
"What a terrifying chill! My water element circulation has been affected!" Regent looked at the water stone in her hand in surprise, its light dimming slightly.
The demon was shrouded in shadow, with only its masked face visible.
"Is this the strength of that human beside the little ancestor? It's terrifying; he can actually affect me, who is in the shadow world."
As the frost spread outwards, it suddenly sensed the aura of a demonic spirit's soul power, and some of the frost rushed towards the shadow.
The shadow, which should have been governed by the rules of light and shadow, was slowly covered by frost.
The demon spirit acted decisively, escaping from the shadow world and using its power to stop the spread of frost.
Regent immediately summoned a large number of water elements, which surrounded Liya and the spirit.
"That human is right ahead, I can sense a very strong ice element!" Regent said, pointing ahead.
The demon looked up at the sky and sensed another power sandwiched between the cannon fire and the ice element.
"Do you remember what Master was best at?"
"Soul power," Liya replied, a light seemingly shining in her eyes.
"Soul power can be manifested in human spiritual power. The stronger the soul power, the stronger the spiritual power will be. I have seen many titled Douluo in the human world, and even Super Douluo who are one level higher, but their spiritual power does not seem to be stronger than this power." As the demon spirit spoke, it suddenly turned its head to look to the side.
Lijing followed his gaze and saw a fully armed squad staring in her direction, with faint flashes of light coming from the dark muzzles of their cannons.
"To retreat or to fight?" Regent asked.
Just as Fish Dragon King Xiaomi was about to jump off Liya's head, Lijing stopped him.
"Let's just clean this up while we're at it. There aren't any strong ones around." As the demon spirit spoke, the shadow beneath its feet pounced out like a ferocious beast.
"Fire!" the squad leader immediately ordered.
Hundreds of soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons roared, their firepower tilting towards the demon spirit.
The demon waved its hand again, and a wall of shadows suddenly rose up, swallowing up all the incoming artillery fire without emitting a single spark.
The shadow beast suddenly leaped up from the ground, opened its exaggeratedly large, blood-red maw, and bit down at the team.
All attacks that landed on the shadow beast vanished silently, as if falling into an abyss, without a sound.
The squad led by Contra was quickly swallowed up by the Shadow Beast.
At the last moment, the squad leader suddenly recognized the demon's identity, but he didn't understand why a ferocious beast would appear in Mingdu City.
"Let's go." The demon spirit let out a long breath.
"It seems like it's not going to work. The noise just now attracted quite a few things." Regent frowned as she looked at the two small teams that suddenly appeared in front of her.
One was clearly the same army from before, while the other exuded an eerie aura, its eyes bloodshot and filled with greed as it stared at him.
"Hit." Regent coldly uttered a single word.
Behind her, countless water elements converged, forming a giant wave.
