Chapter 595: Chapter 589 Young Master Flame Demon

"Do we need a Saint Realm powerhouse to help us get out?"

Ximen Ying and Qian Wuchen both looked unhappy. A Saint Realm powerhouse—where were they supposed to find one? That was practically the same as having no way out.

Although they had somewhat prepared themselves mentally, they still felt utterly disheartened when they realized there was no hope.

"We’ll have to find another way. But first, let’s focus on staying alive."

Ye Xuan shook his head. For now, they needed to establish a firm footing among the Demon Clan.

"Are you afraid that Jialuo, the Demon Saint, will kill you?"

Suddenly, Zi Ying, the violet-eyed girl who had kept silence, spoke up. She glanced at Ye Xuan and said indifferently.

"I promised Jialuo, the Demon Saint, that I would heal his wounds within two months. If I fail, I’ll have to die by his hands," Ye Xuan said with a light smile.

"You lied to Jialuo, the Demon Saint? You can’t cure his illness at all."

Zi Ying’s eyes seemed to flicker for a moment.

"No, I’m afraid that even after I heal him, he won’t keep his promise," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"That’s indeed something that old guy would do."

A look of contempt flashed through Zi Ying’s beautiful eyes. Their Shadow Demon Clan, unlike the Blood Demon Clan, had their own faith. Honesty and keeping promises were ancient tenets of the Demon Clan, while the Blood Demon Clan had long since abandoned these principles.

"Don’t worry, you human still have some usefulness left. I’ll persuade Jialuo, the Demon Saint, to turn a blind eye. I’ll give him some benefits to spare your lives."

Zi Ying averted her gaze. "But after that, you’ll be my slaves, and you must do whatever I ask of you."

"Let’s wait until you can persuade Jialuo, the Demon Saint, then."

Ye Xuan neither agreed nor disagreed, but inwardly he let out a sigh of relief. If this woman was willing to help, then that was naturally the best outcome.

"Young Miss, why would you save these useless human trash? Knowing Jialuo, the Demon Saint’s temperament, even though they’re just a couple of slaves, he’ll surely ask for an exorbitant price. Better let them die," Chi Yi said with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Shut up."

Zi Ying gave Chi Yi a glance. "He’s useless, you think you’re any better? I don’t need your opinions on my decisions."

"Yes, yes..."

Chi Yi dared not talk back and could only look at Ye Xuan with a sullen expression, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.

"Ye Xuan, this Chi Yi seems to harbor quite a grudge against us."

Qian Wuchen was worried. Their status was very low right now, and for the Demon Clan, killing them would be as easy as flipping a hand. If they provoked Chi Yi’s hostility, not only would their future days be miserable, but they might also bring about their own untimely deaths.

"What’s there to be afraid of? We haven’t deliberately provoked him. Besides, with his capabilities, what harm could he possibly do to us? If we can’t even handle a fellow like this, we’re doomed to die here sooner or later anyway," Ye Xuan said, seemingly unconcerned.

Just a mere Chi Yi, Ye Xuan hadn’t even begun to take him seriously. What troubled him now was how to leave this damnable place.

"I’d advise you not to waste your efforts," scoffed Zi Ying, seemingly having read Ye Xuan’s mind. "Once a human like you enters, you’ll never get out, unless one day the Demon Clan is confident enough to conquer the Spirit Martial Continent. Maybe then, you’ll have a chance to leave."

"Then it seems I’d better start hoping the Demon Clan grows stronger sooner rather than later."

Ye Xuan smiled, but internally he wasn’t troubled by the notion at all. Waiting for the Demon Clan to grow strong? By then, the moment would have long since passed. He didn’t have so much time to waste here.

"Scum of the Human Clan."

At that moment, Chi Yi spat disdainfully on the ground, evidently deeply contemptuous of Ye Xuan’s behavior. He viewed Ye Xuan as an unprincipled scumbag worthy of nothing but death and couldn’t fathom why the young lady would bother to save such a one’s life.

Hearing the word ’scum,’ both Ximen Ying and Qian Wuchen looked a little uncomfortable, but Ye Xuan felt not the slightest displeasure. He had a different set of beliefs from normal people, and didn’t care about the Human Clan at all. In the Heavenly Realm, there are only the battles of the gods. If you have the power, you can become the ruler of your domain. Countless powerful beings would flock to you, and no one would care whether you’re from the Human Clan, Demon Clan, Dragon Clan or Evil Dragon Clan, Bone Clan or Spirit Clan.

In the Heavenly Realm, racial distinctions have long been diluted to the extreme, and only in low-level continents do they still take race so seriously.

The group returned to the Demon Clan’s tribal village. On his previous visit, Ye Xuan hadn’t observed the place closely. This time, he took a careful look around and saw that most of the residents were from the Blood Demon Clan and the Shadow Demon Clan. Of course, there were also many ordinary demons, but he did not see the presence of the Flame Demon, Ancient Bronze Demon, or Heavenly Demon among the inhabitants.

Ye Xuan guessed that within the Evil Domain, the Demon Clan must have their own cliques and factional divisions; this village was surely not the only one in the domain.

The village was large, with a population of just tens of thousands, while the Demon Clan’s population must number in the millions.

When the group arrived at the central highland square of the village, they saw dozens of tall demonic figures. Each was imposing, their bodies a deep crimson as if clad in layers of molten lava armor, creating an intensely explosive visual impact.

The leader was a young demon with an incredibly powerful aura that clearly reached the Seventh Grade of Demon Lord, just one step away from being a Semi-Saint, not much different from Zi Ying’s cultivation level.

"It’s the Young Master Flame Demon, Fei Lian."

Chi Yi’s eyes suddenly shifted, and his face grew uneasy, flickering with strong apprehension; he clearly recognized this young member of the Flame Demon Clan.

"Little Shadow, you’re finally back."

Upon seeing Ye Xuan and his companions, the young member of the Flame Demon Clan’s face also revealed a touch of joy, an expression laden with unabashed affection.

"So, it’s a suitor," Ye Xuan revealed, realizing the situation. He glanced at Zi Ying, whose eyes were as calm as still water, emitting a faint disgust. This hint of aversion, though subtle, did not escape Ye Xuan’s keen perception.

"This just got more interesting," Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly upward.

"Ye Xuan, right? To make me keep you safe from Jialuo the Demon Saint, you must do something for me. Your first task has arrived. Get rid of that guy for me; I don’t want to see him," Zi Ying’s indifferent voice suddenly cut through just as Ye Xuan was ready to enjoy the drama.

"Me?"

Ye Xuan was taken aback, "Why me? I think Chi Yi would be a much better choice." He wasn’t foolish; he was already a target of Jialuo the Demon Saint, and to add offense by antagonizing the Young Master of the Flame Demon Clan? Did he no longer wish to survive in this Evil Domain?
