Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 402 - 400: Arriving at Demon Saint City, Lu Ye Gains Fame in Demon Saint Province Before Even Making the Rankings
"If it were me, I probably wouldn’t be hiding now; I might choose to leave the Demon Saint Province, after all, the Celestial Wolf Demon King is an experienced powerhouse!"
"Yeah, even the City Lord of our South Mountain City has to be very polite when meeting such a top-tier demon from the Celestial Wolf Race."
Upon hearing the conversation behind him, Lu Ye felt that they seemed to be talking about him.
After all, he had just dealt with the Celestial Wolf Princess not long ago.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial Wolf Princess had already issued a bounty on him.
"In that case, if we cross paths again... I won’t be so courteous next time."
With this thought in mind, Lu Ye immediately changed his Lu Yan mask to another disguise, then stopped to wait for those people to arrive.
Lu Ye pretended to be curious and asked them.
"Fellow Daoists, I overheard your conversation just now and am a bit curious. Could you tell me more about it?"
Seeing Lu Ye smiling and stopping beside them, bowing and asking, they looked at each other and did not refuse.
"Actually, it’s just that an outrageously bold human appeared out of nowhere, not only offending the Celestial Wolf Princess Qin Qingqing but also seemingly doing something outrageous to her, which led to the Celestial Wolf Demon King angrily issuing a warrant."
"I heard that providing a valid clue could earn you a million silver plus an Elixir!"
"If you could catch him, the reward would be even more tempting. Ah, I wonder when we’ll get that lucky," another team member said, sounding somewhat envious.
The team leader shook his head, exasperatedly saying, "You’re really overthinking; you’re courting death. If this person can make the Celestial Wolf Princess suffer, even if we tied our whole team together, we probably wouldn’t be his match, and you still want to catch him?"
The other team members were suddenly startled! Indeed!
They hadn’t thought of this. Although the Celestial Wolf Princess doesn’t have outstanding talent,
with resources stacked up, she has already reached Tier Three, equivalent to the Human Race’s Innate Realm standard.
A human capable of bullying the Celestial Wolf Princess isn’t someone they can capture.
"By the way, fellow Daoists, do you have a portrait of the human on the warrant?" Lu Ye smiled and said, "I’m also a bit interested in that person. If we happen to meet later, providing two clues to exchange for some Cultivation Resources wouldn’t be bad."
The team leader nodded and said, "There is a portrait, I heard it was described by the Celestial Wolf Princess herself and drawn by an artist."
Then, the team leader took out a brand new portrait obtained not long ago and opened it in front of Lu Ye.
Looking closely, the portrait was indeed of Lu Ye with the Lu Yan mask.
Pretending to scrutinize it, Lu Ye bowed and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoists."
Subsequently, Lu Ye made an excuse to part ways with them and swiftly headed toward South Mountain City. After half a day, he finally arrived in South Mountain City.
Upon reaching South Mountain City, Lu Ye found that many people in the city were also discussing the matter.
"Fortunately, the mask can transform into several identities."
This Celestial Wolf Princess is so stubborn...
Lu Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly. If they crossed paths again, it wouldn’t be as easy as last time.
Even though there’s a life-saving card that prevents him from killing her, leaving a deep impression on the Celestial Wolf Princess isn’t impossible.
Lu Ye actually didn’t take the pursuit too seriously since he’s not from the Demon Saint Province.
Once the ranking on the stone monument is over, he’ll leave.
By then, even if they searched the majority of the Demon Saint Province, they wouldn’t find him.
A little later, Lu Ye bought some things in South Mountain City and then directly headed towards the largest human city in the Demon Saint Province, Demon Saint City.
...
Meanwhile,
In the Celestial Wolf territory,
In the palace, the Celestial Wolf Princess Qin Qingqing lay there as several maids carefully applied medicine to the various wounds on her body to reduce swelling and bruising.
Each time they started applying, the Celestial Wolf Princess would cry out in pain.
And each cry of pain added to Qin Qingqing’s anger towards that human.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare he do this to me!"
"Any news about that damned human?" the Celestial Wolf Princess cursed angrily while turning her head to inquire.
"Replying to the Princess, no useful information has come through yet," the maid beside her quickly answered.
"If this Princess catches him, this Princess will have to whip him hard!!"
The Celestial Wolf Princess gritted her teeth and said.
Upon hearing this, the maids knew the Princess was in a foul mood and didn’t dare to say more, each focusing on carefully applying the medicine.
...
Two days later.
Along the way, Lu Ye grew even more cautious, trying to conceal his presence whenever he felt a powerful aura above Tier Five.
By now, an even larger human city than South Mountain City appeared on the horizon.
"Is this the Demon Saint City?"
Gazing at the distant city, Lu Ye’s eyes showed contemplation.
It is said that the city gets its name due to the first Demon Saint of the Demon Saint Province.
The first Demon Saint was extremely powerful, able to rival the creator of the Xuanzhou Lingyao Celestial Palace.
Moments later, upon reaching the outskirts of Demon Saint City, Lu Ye noticed there were people checking something at the gate.
At first, Lu Ye thought it might be the Celestial Wolf Race’s arrangement to track his movements.
Observing for a while, Lu Ye realized it wasn’t the case, it was just a routine check.
Lu Ye also noticed that in the line entering the city, there were not only humans but also members of the Demon Race.
Thinking about the unique situation in the Demon Saint Province, Lu Ye could understand this phenomenon.
The Demon Saint Stele is also located in the plaza within the Demon Saint City.
After entering the city, Lu Ye disguised himself as a tourist and leisurely wandered into the Demon Saint Plaza.
At a glance, he saw a Demon Saint Stele almost identical to the East Cang Stele, standing tall at a hundred meters.
The Demon Saint Province Stone Monument list ranks thirty, also a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but slightly stronger than the East Cang Stele, being the Grandmaster Second Layer.
This indicates that due to the coexistence of humans and demons, there is more intensity, and thus, the competition in the Demon Saint Province is slightly greater than in Xuanzhou.
"It seems that even in the Otherworld, where there’s an inward competition, the rivalry becomes more intense."
Lu Ye couldn’t help but have this thought cross his mind.
After briefly browsing the Demon Saint Stele, Lu Ye turned to leave, planning to challenge the ranking later at night.
Just then, a group of demons approached the plaza, intending to post a notice.
