Chapter 438: Chapter 436: The Demon Race Grand Gathering! Lu Ye Arrives at Demon Saint City, the Guarded Demon Saint Stele

"If it were me, I’d go crazy too! Senior Sister Jiang she..."

At this moment, near the mountain gate, several sect disciples had already taken out their Memory Stones.

Such a shocking scene, if told, would hardly be believed by others. Recording it would be more convincing.

Jiang Lingyue noticed this, but she didn’t care at all.

The reason she asked Lu Ye to escort her to the mountain gate was exactly this intention.

Lately, almost every day, someone would appear pretending to coincidentally meet on the path to and from Dan Peak, which Jiang Lingyue had long been annoyed by.

This was a perfect opportunity!

Satisfied, she let go of Lu Ye. Under the watchful eyes of so many, Jiang Lingyue felt a bit shy, her cheeks a rosy red.

After releasing Lu Ye, she quickly whispered, "I’ll head back first!"

Before the words even fell, Jiang Lingyue swiftly entered the Wuxiang Sect’s mountain gate.

Watching Jiang Lingyue, who ran faster than a rabbit, and looking around at the obviously stunned disciples of the Wuxiang Sect, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

Then, with a flicker, he also left the Wuxiang Sect’s mountain gate.

Leaving behind the disciples of Wuxiang Mountain staring at each other, feeling that perhaps the sect would explode because of this...

...

After leaving Wuxiang Mountain, Lu Ye did not stay too long in the Northern Territory.

He swept across vast regions, heading straight for the Demon Saint Province at the border with the Northern Territory.

A few hours later, upon reaching the edge of the Northern Territory, Lu Ye successfully entered the Demon Saint Province.

After some thought, Lu Ye decided to transform into Lu Yan and take the nearest route.

Moreover, he wanted to see.

Now, months later, if the Celestial Wolf Race’s territory was still as heavily guarded as before.

The Storage Ring in Lu Ye’s hand now only contained some simple items, even the Source Crystals were stashed away in the Myriad Dao Pavilion’s space.

Although he knew they wouldn’t inspect everyone’s Storage Ring, as it is a cultivator’s privacy.

But to be cautious, Lu Ye had prepared in advance.

Several hours later, as he entered within the territory of the Celestial Wolf Race again.

He was unsurprisingly intercepted not far in.

"Stop, we are conducting inspections."

At this checkpoint, there were also three or four other Human Race members.

However, these Human Race people seemed accustomed to the commotion of the past few months, accepting the inspections calmly.

Seeing this, Lu Ye inconspicuously blended into the group.

The inspection process was quick, a person could pass within a few minutes. Soon, it was Lu Ye’s turn.

Watching the Celestial Wolf Race member in front of him performing a routine inspection, Lu Ye asked, "Wolf Clan friend, how is it going? Has the person who dared to lay hands on the princess been caught?"

Hearing Lu Ye’s question, the celestial wolf member didn’t react at first.

A moment later, he glanced at Lu Ye in surprise and shook his head.

"It’s not that easy. I heard that human is very cunning and has likely already used other means to slip out of the Demon Saint Province."

Occasionally, some Human Race cultivators would ask about this.

After all, most people could accept inspections but were growing weary of it over long periods.

Some inquired about the results hoping the inspections would end sooner.

"Thank you." Lu Ye smiled lightly and cupped his hands in gratitude to the celestial wolf member.

Immediately, Lu Ye quickly left the area.

Behind him, the celestial wolf member scratched his head, thinking this Human Race person was rather polite.

Shaking his head, the celestial wolf member continued his own inspection task in a lackluster manner.

...

Following that, Lu Ye smoothly passed through several checkpoints of the Celestial Wolf Race and finally exited their territory.

After half a day, he once again arrived outside of the Demon Saint City.

This largest Human Race city in the Demon Saint Province was still bustling and lively.

Upon entering the city, Lu Ye found an inn.

He originally wanted a superior guest room, but the innkeeper said with embarrassment.

"Sir, we are already fully booked, with only one inferior room left. Would that be acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was about to leave since he wasn’t lacking in silver now.

Unexpectedly, the innkeeper called after him, "Sir, there’s no need to look outside, most other inns are already full."

"If you wait any longer, even this inferior room might be gone soon."

Hearing this, Lu Ye stopped in his tracks, raised an eyebrow, and cupped his hands to inquire, "Brother, what’s going on?"

As there were no pressing matters at this moment, the innkeeper tossed a towel over his shoulder and quietly said.

"In three days, the Five-Year Festival of the Hundred Saints of the Demon Race will occur. At that time, all demon races in the Demon Saint Province will send their representatives, and some demons may even have Demon Kings coming in person to the Demon Saint City!"

Hearing the innkeeper’s words, Lu Ye was a bit surprised.

The Festival of the Hundred Saints?

But why is a Demon Race festival held inside a Human Race city?

Lu Ye wondered, "Isn’t it a demon celebration? Why is it being held inside the Demon Saint City?"

"Because of the Demon Saint Stele!" the innkeeper glanced around before continuing in a low voice, "This kind of demon event requires the use of a special item to communicate with the Great Power of the Upper Realm Demon Race."

"Afterward, young Demon Race members with certain qualifications can touch the Demon Saint Stele and receive gifts from senior demons of the Upper Realm based on their own talents."

This innkeeper seemed to have worked in the Demon Saint City for quite a while and was very knowledgeable about these matters.

The Demon Saint Stele?

Lu Ye didn’t expect that this stele in the Demon Saint Province could have such functions.

Given this, Lu Ye requested the last room from the innkeeper.

Then, Lu Ye planned to go out and wander around.

After asking several inns along the way, he confirmed they were indeed full, proving the innkeeper wasn’t lying.

When he arrived at the previously mentioned Demon Saint Stele Plaza, Lu Ye found that within ten meters of the stele was already being guarded.

Lu Ye: "?"

The event doesn’t start for another three days, yet they’ve already secured the Demon Saint Stele. How could he make the list now?

The guards here were a diverse mix of demons, with about a dozen scattered around in each shift.

Lu Ye took a look around and spotted a Celestial Wolf Race member among them.

Immediately, a faint smile appeared on Lu Ye’s face as he walked forward.

"This is a critical area of the Demon Saint Stele, unauthorized personnel are not allowed!"

Unexpectedly, when he was five meters away, a stern celestial wolf member shouted.

Instantly, several other eyes turned to tightly fix on Lu Ye.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ye knew that sneaking up the stele unnoticed in the coming days wasn’t going to be possible.
