CHAPTER 505: CHAPTER 505: DEMON RACE YUE WUXIA

This statement... it’s...

Chen Pingping rolled his eyes. "Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person."

Hehe!

Chen Shixian laughed. Had he not given an explanation, she wouldn’t have been so sure that Chen Pingping was planning to deceive her. Now it’s confirmed.

"About that second anomaly of yours..." Chen Pingping chuckled, hesitating.

"It’s unique to those with the Moon God body; not everyone has it," Chen Shixian replied.

"It’s like this..." Chen Pingping pulled her along, walking further and further away.

The group of people behind them was utterly baffled.

Wen Qingshan couldn’t help but ask, "Is she also a Divine Body?"

Jiang Ni’er answered, "Yes."

"What’s their relationship?" Wen Qingshan asked again.

"That’s the kind of relationship they have," Jiang Ni’er said, barely holding back her laughter. A love-hate relationship... no, to be precise, it’s mutual disdain, yet they always end up together somehow.

...

The elders of the Star Sea finally escaped from the Secret Realm. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds before them, each face brimmed with the joy of having narrowly escaped disaster.

Damn it.

They were finally out. That Secret Realm was truly terrifying.

"Wait, where is the Fairy?" Luo Muyu turned his head. They had already lost one Divine Body; they couldn’t afford to lose the Fairy too! Otherwise, the younger generation of the Star Sea would be ruined!

Upon hearing this, the group’s expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other, but no one dared to re-enter the Secret Realm.

"Let’s go back first and think of a plan," the Great Elder decided.

"Right. The most important thing now is to deal with the Wuji Sect and Chen Pingping first; Qingshan is still in his hands."

The Wuji Sect should be destroyed by now, right?

Even though they had suffered a crushing defeat at Chen Pingping’s hands in this encounter, a group of Star Sea’s experts had also invaded the City of Extinction. Based on their calculations, the Wuji Sect should have been obliterated.

Hearing these words, everyone smiled.

However, when they returned to the Star Sea and saw the chaos, they inquired about what had happened, and their expressions changed drastically.

Someone had broken into the ancestral grounds of the Star Sea and stolen the Life Origin from the remains of the Ancient Phoenix.

"Who was it?" the Great Elder asked angrily.

"A chicken."

"???"

"Damn it... I remember now! Chen Pingping had a chicken with him when he entered the Star Sea, and when he left, it wasn’t with him."

"I see; it makes sense now. Chen Pingping entering the Secret Realm was a feint. He was buying time for that chicken," another deduced.

I’m so furious!

"Chen Pingping..." The high-ranking members were furious, almost spitting blood.

This was especially true for Yang Wuzong, since it was he who had introduced Chen Pingping to the Star Sea. Although he had harbored suspicions at the time, Chen Pingping had later left the Star Sea with Chen Shixian, and they had joined them on the journey to the Secret Realm. But no one had expected that the one to make a move was not Chen Pingping, but a chicken.

Not long after, approximately an hour later, another message arrived: the Star Sea experts who went to the City of Extinction had been completely wiped out.

The high-ranking officials were all dumbfounded.

For a time, everyone within the Star Sea was panic-stricken.

When Li Chaoge returned, he said only one sentence: "Wait a little longer!"

No one was more eager than they to acquire the Ancient Phoenix’s Life Origin. It could enhance the concentration of their bloodlines and was also key for them to return to the Divine Clan. But that chicken had stolen the Life Origin right before their eyes.

The one who should have been most anxious was Li Chaoge himself, yet for some reason, the Star Sea higher-ups could not detect a trace of tension or anxiety on his face. He was very calm. But this calmness made the Star Sea higher-ups uneasy.

The Great Elder said, bracing himself, "Mr. Li, if the Star Sea were to revive the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, we could surely obliterate the Wuji Sect and take back the Life Origin."

This was their most powerful heritage as a superpower: the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. Once revived, it would be equivalent to the Great Emperor himself taking action.

Li Chaoge shook his head. "In the coming days, the Wind Cloud List of the Ancient Country is about to open, and numerous young talents from various forces are entering this realm. If you were to revive the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, the commotion would be too great and might attract the attention of certain individuals. At that point, the loss would outweigh the gain."

Upon hearing these words, the Great Elder’s heart trembled. "Are you going to join the battle?"

He found it hard to believe. Li Chaoge had been in the Star Sea for many years, always sitting in meditation in the depths of the ancestral land, oblivious to worldly affairs and uninterested in anything. Yet now, he intended to compete in the Wind Cloud List of the Ancient Country.

"Yes!" Li Chaoge spoke, his eyes bright with resolve.

Wind Cloud List of the Ancient Country.

Legend had it that it was a ranking created by a Great Emperor himself, opening periodically. Those who made it onto the list would receive various rewards: perhaps a Divine Skill, a formidable sword skill, or even a Great Saint-level Weapon or a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.

The one who claimed first place on the Wind Cloud List would be hailed as The Son of Destiny. It was rumored that such a person would receive guidance from that Great Emperor, or even a strand of The Source of the Great Emperor.

Regrettably, no first-place winner had emerged from the Wind Cloud List in ten thousand years. It wasn’t because there was a lack of geniuses or that they weren’t powerful enough. Every time a first-place winner emerged, that genius would die under mysterious circumstances. Yet despite this, the geniuses’ pursuit of the Wind Cloud List remained fervent.

"This time it will be very intense," Li Chaoge murmured.

"Why?" the Great Elder was perplexed, thinking, Isn’t it always intense?

Li Chaoge did not explain. He got up and walked towards the distant land.

In that direction, a splendidly ornate carriage was slowly approaching. Suddenly, a curse came from inside: "We’ve been exposed, we’ve been exposed! Ali, is your shielding array useful at all?"

"Miss, the array has always been effective!" said Ali. She was a young girl with strange, large ears, resembling those of a legendary fox. Before the young lady in the carriage could speak, Ali added, "Unless there are masters proficient in arrays, no one can detect our trail."

"Yet, we have been exposed," the young lady muttered incessantly. "Stop the carriage; I want to go down and see!"

Helplessly, Ali had to bring the carriage to a halt.

A purple figure stepped out from within. She had a graceful figure, skin as white as snow, and a melon seed-shaped face with thin, red lips that appeared slightly seductive. Her gaze was enchanting—not black, but a deep blue instead.

She looked at the landscape, took a deep breath, then stretched languidly and said blissfully, "I’ve finally escaped."

"Miss, the Human Clan area is just a bigger prison for us," Ali said, practically spitting blood.

"Shut up." Yue Wuxia glared at her. In the Demon Race area, home was a prison—as small as could be. And now, the entire Human Clan area is my prison! Which is better? I, Yue Wuxia, know very clearly. This is just a little more dangerous, that’s all. What does it matter?

Yue Wuxia chuckled lightly. "This time, I have come to compete for a spot on the Wind Cloud List. According to the rules, Human Clan seniors are not allowed to attack me; only the younger generation can challenge this young lady."

Then, suddenly, she exclaimed, "Damn it!" pulled Ali along, and dashed off in a certain direction.

Not long after, Li Chaoge arrived at the scene. Looking at the splendidly ornate carriage, he whispered to himself, Monster Emperor City?
