Chapter 217: Filled with Fatherly Love (Third Update)
Qin Zi flew all the way in that direction without encountering any more demons.
Perhaps it was due to the night.
Of course, Qin Zi preferred to believe it was because he was getting closer to the edge of the Demon Realm.
After all, common sense says that border areas are generally barren.
He was thinking rather optimistically.
But he didn't know how many demons his dear father had secretly cleared out for him.
These demons often smelled the human aura on him, but before they could roar or rush over, they had already silently fallen to the ground without even stirring up a speck of dust...
Thus, Qin Zi effortlessly and safely penetrated deep into the heart of the Broken Star Demon Realm.
This illustrates a truth:
There is no such thing as peaceful times, only someone carrying the burden on your behalf.
There is no such thing as a smooth journey, only someone charging into battle for you...
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
Finally, Qin Zi saw a large city with many people coming and going, some rising into the sky, others arriving from afar.
"A city of the Human Race!"
Qin Zi's eyes lit up. This must be the border of the Purple Cloud Domain. He had finally escaped this harrowing experience.
"Hahaha, after more than half a year, Purple Cloud Domain, I'm back! I, Qin Zi, finally see the light of day again!!"
He shouted joyfully up to the sky.
This shout attracted the attention of many "people" at the city gate, but after looking at him briefly from afar, they ignored him and continued their unperturbed in-and-out flow through the narrow gate...
In high spirits, Qin Zi flew over.
He was about to enter the city.
Suddenly, his body froze because he saw four ferocious characters written above the city gate—Eastern Yi Demon City!
Demon City!!
He wasn't truly careless; he was just too eager to return to the Human Race Territory, and his care turned into chaos. Now, looking at these characters and sensing the dense demon aura around him, he instantly understood.
Then, his scalp tingled!
At this moment, he clearly felt that the atmosphere around him had turned eerie, and even the air had fallen silent.
He slowly turned his head to look and found that all the "people" around him had stopped, quietly watching him.
In those pairs of eyes, there was a crimson glow, even an intense killing intent permeating through.
"Good morning, everyone..."
Qin Zi forcefully smiled, raising his hand slowly to align with his cheek, then curled his four fingers several times.
"Kill him!!"
Someone shouted, and a horde of demons immediately lunged at Qin Zi, each full of ferocity and brutality.
"A mere Celestial Saint dare to intrude into the heart of our Broken Star Demon Realm, how arrogant!"
"He doesn't regard our Demon Race at all!"
"Does he think our Demon Race has no one?"
"Tear him apart!!"
The demons were furious. In their view, this human strutting around here was clearly humiliating them.
They wanted to annihilate him.
However...
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
A series of muffled sounds rang out as the demons were sent flying backward, filling the sky like a famous scene from the movie Kung Fu.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm just for show?"
Qin Zi snorted, then transformed into a long rainbow, flying into the distance, maneuvering the Imperial Artifact Flying Shuttle, quickly disappearing over the horizon.
This Imperial Artifact Flying Shuttle.
It was given to him by an Emperor from the Southern Domain of the Fragment Continent, who was, at that time, pinned to the ground by his father and stripped...
"Audacious!!"
"A human junior dare be so rampant!"
"Kill him!"
Soon, several powerful figures of Demon Emperor level rose into the sky from the Eastern Yi Demon City, carrying immense pressure as they pursued.
The involvement of a Demon Emperor is no trivial matter.
Like several suns rising at once, wherever they passed, heavenly thunder rolled, sweeping through with terrifying pressure.
But, not long after, an ominous commotion came from the horizon, as if a massive Ice Dragon Spear descended from the sky, its light covering all directions.
"Boom——"
The ground suddenly shook, the light flooding the horizon, accompanied by the wails of those few Demon Emperors.
"Ahh!!"
"An Emperor's Artifact, he has an Emperor's Artifact!"
"Avenge me!!"
This piercing scream sent chills down the spines of the demons in the city, and they were all shocked.
Emperor's Artifact!!
That human kid actually possesses an Emperor's Artifact!
"I understand!!"
Suddenly, a voice, brimming with self-satisfied wisdom and excitement, sounded from somewhere:
"This human kid must have found clues to an Emperor's Artifact, discovered it was in the Broken Star Demon Realm, so he took the risk to come here looking for it. Apparently, he's found it!"
Upon hearing this, other demons nodded, but when they looked around, the speaker was nowhere to be found.
No one was surprised by this.
Wise ones always hide among the crowd.
As the saying goes, three men make a tiger; once the basic logic is confirmed, the news will spread naturally, and as it spreads, the details will also be perfected and rationalized, becoming more real than reality in the end!
Thus.
Soon, the Broken Star Demon Realm was in turmoil, with countless Great Demons taking action to capture this audacious human.
The face of the Broken Star Demon Realm is a small matter; the main concern is that Emperor's Artifact, who wouldn't covet it?
In this situation, Qin Zi was in dire straits!
He couldn't figure out how these demons knew he had an Emperor's Artifact. He thought it might be the aura of the Nine Phoenix Furnace being sensed.
Actually, it was Qin Chuan's Ice Dragon Spear!
Qin Chuan had always been soaring in the sky, escorting his son.
Now, after mistakenly asking for directions, Qin Zi had figured out the general direction of the Human Race Territory.
But whenever Qin Zi tried to head for the Human Race Territory, Qin Chuan would unleash the Emperor's pressure, accompanied by strange cries, pretending to be a pursuing Demon Emperor. This forced his unsuspecting son to flee in other directions...
Much like a shepherd dog.
Only, they were herding pigs.
Qin Chuan himself wore a 30-value Invisibility Cloak, not worried about being discovered by the Demon Race. Even the Demon Emperor, without careful probing, would have difficulty finding him, and the Broken Star Demon Realm wasn't likely to have a Demon Emperor.
Under Qin Chuan's protection, Qin Zi wandered unimpeded in the heart of the Demon Realm.
He found it very strange.
Because he only encountered triple-layer Demon Saints, but not a single Demon Emperor.
What he didn't know.
In the eyes of the Demon Race, he had already killed many Demon Emperors, and all were slain using an Emperor's Artifact...
Time passed.
The demon strongmen chasing Qin Zi grew increasingly powerful, and ordinary Emperors dared not make a move anymore; at least peak Emperors were required.
There was even... a quasi-emperor!
"Boom boom boom!"
That day, Qin Zi finally faced a quasi-emperor.
Why?
Because even Qin Chuan couldn't silently deal with such a strong foe, and moreover... wasn't he waiting for just this kind of formidable enemy?
"A mere triple-layer Saint, daring to intrude into the Demon Realm, quite courageous, but unfortunately... not of my race!"
The quasi-emperor in the sky didn't show himself, but the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed, presenting a spectacular scene.
"Senior, spare me!!"
Without hesitation, Qin Zi immediately begged for mercy, raising both hands and shouting: "Please wait, I have something to say!"
"I have no interest in listening, die."
The quasi-emperor's tone was indifferent, and then, a towering pressure bore down, as if even the universe was about to be turned upside down!
"Ding! A first-layer quasi-emperor harbors killing intent towards your son. In keeping with fatherly love like a mountain, and the principle that father must win, your cultivation will be elevated to the first-layer quasi-emperor!"
The system's voice rang in Qin Chuan's ear.
