Chapter 298: Chapter 295 Miss Yu Yi

Whir, whir, whir...

As soon as Ye Xuan reached the center of the Demon Tower’s ninth floor, beams of light rapidly spread beneath his feet. Around him, Demon Souls formed one by one—a total of seven, including a dragon, a fox, a python, a peacock, a barbaric elephant—all of immense size, emitting extremely fierce fluctuations.

"The ninth floor is indeed not simple."

Seeing the Demon Souls emerging one by one, Ye Xuan’s expression became solemn. On every previous floor, there was only one Demon Soul guarding, but on this ninth floor, there were as many as seven. The difficulty had increased several times more than on the eighth floor.

Roar, roar!

Emitting earth-shaking roars, all seven Demon Souls charged at Ye Xuan, and in that instant, Demon Energy skyrocketed within the tower so intensely that even from the outside, the entire Demon Tower was violently shaking.

"The battle has already started; this guy, he actually didn’t give up."

On the top of the tower, a hint of a faint smile appeared on the face of the handsome young man. He had also braved the ninth floor of the tower and knew exactly what it held. The seven Demon Souls were manifestations based on the original forms of the seven Demon Venerables of the Sky Demon Mountain. Their strength was extraordinary.

The beautiful woman clad in fur clothes was also indifferently watching the towering Demon Tower that continuously emitted pillars of Demon Energy. Yet, the flickers of light in her eyes revealed her unease.

The seven inspection envoys were also looking gravely at the Demon Tower before them. If Ye Xuan managed to successfully pass the ninth floor, he would match the record of the Demon Dragon Young Master. No, he would set a new record since even the Demon Dragon Young Master hadn’t cleared the tower as swiftly in his first attempt.

However, inside the Demon Tower, unbeknownst to the outside world, Ye Xuan had already defeated six out of the seven Demon Souls. Although it had taken considerable effort, defeating the last one would suffice to clear the ninth floor.

But at that moment, Ye Xuan hesitated.

"I’ve already made it past the sixth floor. Continuing any further has less appeal. If I were to rush through the ninth floor in one go, it might instantly draw countless attentions, which I do not want."

"Besides, the Honglian Envoy mentioned that passing the ninth floor would result in the arrival of either the Demon Dragon Venerable or the Sky Fox Demon Venerable. If they see through my disguise, it could backfire."

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment; his main purpose for coming to Sky Demon Mountain was to find Ye Mei and Su Ying and to uncover the truth about the past events, not to compete fiercely.

With this thought, Ye Xuan took a step back, abandoning the idea of continuing to defeat the Demon Soul, and he headed toward the entrance to the eighth floor.

Creak!

The entrance to the eighth floor of the Demon Tower opened, and Ye Xuan dashed out, landing in a meadow.

"He didn’t make it through?"

Upon seeing Ye Xuan emerge, the Honglian Envoy felt both excitement and slight disappointment; disappointed that he had not managed to clear the ninth floor, but excited because if Ye Xuan had cleared it, he would have gained the favor of two great Demon Venerables. But for now, he could join her under the Huoyou Demon Venerable.

"It’s good he didn’t make it; otherwise, he would have had a tough time maneuvering within Sky Demon Mountain from now on." The handsome young man smiled and a gleam of light flickered through his eyes as he wondered, "It’s hard to say whether he actually failed or did it on purpose."

"If it’s the former, then indeed he’s a genius; but within Sky Demon Mountain, his talent is first-class but not top-tier. But if it’s the latter, then this man is not only a prodigy but also knows when to advance or retreat, showing high wisdom or possibly harboring some motive beneath his actions," the beautiful fur-robed woman observed Ye Xuan from afar. She felt that Ye Xuan was not so straightforward.

"You’re probably overthinking it; this guy is just someone the inspection envoy brought back from the outside. Compared to us, he still has a long way to go. Besides, he’s merely at the Third Grade Demon King level now, too low a realm. Sister, you are our Fox Clan’s top genius, destined to one day rival the Demon Dragon Young Master. No matter how excellent that man is, he can’t compare to you," the handsome young man said indifferently.

"Demon Dragon Young Master?" Mentioning this name well-known throughout Sky Demon Mountain didn’t cause much of a stir in the woman’s eyes. Instead, a hint of displeasure flickered through them, "Though the Demon Dragon Young Master is strong, his talent still falls short of the Dragon Girl from a decade ago. It’s a shame that she committed an unforgivable mistake and has been imprisoned in the Ice Prison ever since, never seeing the daylight."

"That’s an internal affair of the Demon Dragon Clan; we need not interfere too much. The spectacle is over; let’s leave." Mentioning the Dragon Girl from the Demon Dragon Clan, the handsome young man’s eyes briefly flickered before he turned and descended the tower.

After a short while, the figures of the two disappeared from the top of the tower.

Meanwhile, beneath the tower, the area was buzzing with activity, with most discussions undoubtedly revolving around Ye Xuan.

Making it to the ninth floor of the tower was a matter of great prestige and honor. Even those members of the Demon Clan who were part of Sky Demon Mountain looked at Ye Xuan with some admiration. After all, wherever and whenever, the strong were respected, and this held true in the Demon Beast Territory as well.

As for the young and beautiful female demons, they watched with eyes full of admiration and excitement, and eventually, their gazes settled on Ye Xuan, showing a hint of adoration.

Within Sky Demon Mountain, anyone who could reach the ninth floor of the Demon Tower was a figure of not insignificant renown. Although Ye Xuan’s Cultivation was still low, reaching the ninth floor of the Demon Tower represented boundless potential; he might well become a great figure in the future.

In a world where strength was revered, especially in Sky Demon Mountain, which crazily worshipped the strong, a young prodigy like Ye Xuan naturally attracted much adoration and admiration.

Even the few patrol envoys were full of praise for Ye Xuan, gathering around the Honglian Envoy and even plotting to recruit him to their sides.

"Honglian, your Huoyou Demon Venerable seldom recruits male members. It must be inconvenient to have him join Huoyou Demon Venerable. Why not let him join me under the Sky Fox Demon Venerable? Consider it a favor owed to you."

"No, no, I think it would be better for him to join us at Tiger Roar Peak. As an exchange, Honglian, I’ll give you a heavy treasure."

"How could that be? Our Peng Venerable and Huoyou Demon Venerable have always been on good terms. If he is to switch allegiances, then he should join Peng Venerable’s lineage."

The envoys all urged him with smiles on their faces.

If they could recruit a talent like Ye Xuan, even the Demon Venerates above them would reward them, and the rewards would certainly be substantial.

"A bunch of shortsighted fools; this brat, he’s doomed not to live long. The Demon Energy resonance he triggered earlier seemed like that of a giant python; yes, his bloodline must definitely be that of a giant python. Bloodlines capable of triggering a Demon Energy resonance will definitely interest Young Master Blood Python."

The Scorpion Envoy sneered inwardly. What a stupid ’genius’. He won’t be proud for long. A new kid, and they’re worried he can’t be dealt with?

Young Master Blood Python, that’s the son of the Blood Python Demon Venerable, who always has interest in the bloodlines of Python Clan talents. After all, taking over a powerful bloodline of the same tribe would best enhance his own bloodline.

"Rest assured, fellow envoys. Ye Xuan will not switch to any other place; he is a core member of our Huoyou Demon Venerable’s clan and will be a key figure for development. As for having many female members, although it’s true, Lord Huo You never said that Huoyou Peak forbids men," the Honglian Envoy said with a smile. Only if one were kicked by a donkey would they let such a talent go.

"Ye Xuan, let’s go."

The Honglian Envoy gave Ye Xuan a look, then also led the people behind him toward the northwest.

This time, four people entered Huoyou Peak through the assessment. Sky Demon Mountain rarely absorbed people from other places because there were countless members of the Demon Clan living within, reproducing and thriving; the only thing they lacked was the elite.

Huoyou Peak, one of the seven towering peaks within Sky Demon Mountain, was under the control of Huoyou Demon Venerable, the youngest among the Half-step Demon Venerables and the one with the most potential to break through to Demon Venerable. However, Huoyou Peak has always had more women than men, and the male members they recruited were used for manual and heavy labor, with very low status.

Ye Xuan only learned of this situation after his arrival. However, the Honglian Envoy reassured him that his treatment would not be the same as that of ordinary men; he would enjoy top-level treatment from Huoyou Peak. Besides, Ye Xuan didn’t believe he could really be bullied by women.

Along the way, indeed, he saw mostly enchanting Demon Clan women, many of whom looked at Ye Xuan with somewhat fervent gazes. The news of his reaching the ninth floor of the Demon Tower had already spread throughout Huoyou Peak. Most people there knew that Ye Xuan was going to join Huoyou Demon Venerable’s clan.

"Sister Honglian."

While the group was moving forward, several women in red robes approached and bowed to the Honglian Envoy.

"It’s you," the Honglian Envoy obviously recognized them.

"So this is the Brother Ye Xuan who reached the ninth floor of the Demon Tower?"

The women, quite bold, greeted the Honglian Envoy and then came up to Ye Xuan, scrutinizing him brazenly.

"Brother?"

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but get goosebumps. He was someone who had lived twice, and these little demon women were calling him ’brother.’ But he thought about it and decided not to make a fuss over a title.

"Sister Honglian, you must be tired from the long journey. Go rest. We’ll take care of Brother Ye Xuan."

"You few, do you want to eat him?" the Honglian Envoy said with a laugh.

"We would like to, indeed. He looks so tender; I really want to bite him. Don’t worry, it’s just that Miss Yu Yi is very interested in him and wants to exchange feelings," the demon women said while staring at Ye Xuan, smiling.

"Miss Yu Yi? The Demon Venerate will surely summon him in a few days; you must not play too rough," the Honglian Envoy suddenly had a bad feeling. Miss Yu Yi was known as the demoness of Huoyou Peak, with a hobby of tormenting men. Every male demon on Huoyou Peak had been tortured by her, with broken legs, plucked hairs, and subjected to various inhumane tortures.

Little did she expect them to be so well-informed; Ye Xuan had just arrived, and she had already learned about him. Now, she could only look at Ye Xuan with sympathy, hoping he could escape this ordeal.
