This was the most rugged and majestic city they had ever seen. Built from large, refined steel stones, it was indestructible, exuding an aura of solemnity and killing intent. Like a towering figure, it stood at the border between humans and demons, suppressing all invading enemies.

The three characters “Demon Suppression Pass” were not just for show. This was a rare treasure that could distinguish between humans and transformed demons. Everyone who entered the city had to be illuminated by this treasure to prove their innocence, including Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“My uncle is stationed at the Demon Lock Pass, it seems we won’t be able to see him.” Meng Jingzhou shook his head with some regret.

“Make way, make way, my brother is injured and needs a doctor!” Just as the two were about to enter the city, they heard a shout from behind. Two strong men were carrying a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was rather weak, howling in pain.

The crowd consciously made way, but when this group was about to run into the Demon Suppression Pass, the three characters “Demon Suppression Pass” enveloped the three of them. They screamed, white smoke rose from their bodies, revealing their true forms.

The two strong men turned out to be two giant wolves, and the person they were carrying on the stretcher was not a human cultivator, but an uninjured old bear.

The soldiers guarding the Demon Suppression Pass reacted swiftly, without any hesitation, they decisively took action, raising their spears and weapons, and killed the three beasts!

The Demon Suppression Pass often encountered beasts trying to sneak in, and there was only one outcome for them – death!

Upon entering the Demon Suppression Pass, the two saw people selling beast skins and inner alchemy on the streets, people selling healing pills, claiming they were 20% cheaper than in the stores, and people claiming to be powerful and offering their services as bodyguards.

These people were as rugged and bold as the city itself.

The two first found an inn to rest for the night, recover their energy, and understand their current situation.

Lu Yang pointed at the map, analyzing the information they had gathered.

“This is the Demon Suppression Pass, and it’s two hundred thousand miles from the Demon Lock Pass where your uncle is. The dense forest we just entered is the boundary between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Demon Realm, separating the two sides. It’s a neutral zone, not belonging to any power.”

“To reach the real Demon Realm, we have to pass through the dense forest and a thick fog.”

“I also asked the newspaper seller, he said this place is a major trading hub for beasts. The flying boat of the Golden Money Chamber of Commerce will fly here regularly. There’s one coming tomorrow afternoon, do you want to go back?”

Meng Jingzhou was about to say that there was no need to think about it, of course they should go back, but he changed his mind when the words reached his lips.

“Go back? Why should we go back? We’ve suffered so much in this forest, we can’t just let the beasts off without showing them some colors. If word gets out, how are we going to survive?”

Lu Yang showed a thick smile: “Coincidentally, I was thinking the same thing.”

The two hit it off and decided to stay here for a while. They wouldn’t go back until they made a name for themselves.

Going back in such a sorry state was not their style.

“It’s a pity that little guy Man Gu didn’t come. His ancient barbarian bloodline has a natural suppression effect on beasts.” The Immortal Maiden in the spiritual space shook her head regretfully.

Lu Yang suspected that the Immortal Maiden knew everything when his senior sister was standing behind them, but didn’t remind him because she wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

A logical suspicion.

Soon, Lu Yang was attracted by the Immortal Maiden’s topic: “There’s such a thing?”

When it came to this matter, the Immortal Maiden was extremely proud. She put her hand on her waist, with a sense of pointing out the world: “Of course, do you think I just increased the intelligence limit of the barbarians and gave them wisdom? At that time, I also shared a small part of my power!”

“Do you know who I am? Do you know how many ancient beasts I have eaten in order to make the ‘Cooking Encyclopedia’?”

“Ancient beasts fear me because of their bloodline, and Man Gu, who has received a negligible part of my power, has indirectly gained this ability. He can naturally suppress beasts!”

“The ancient barbarians, with my gift, can be said to be able to show off in front of the beasts. They can make the lower level beasts crawl with their bloodline pressure, and if they encounter beasts of the same level, one person can fight two without a problem!”

Just as Lu Yang was about to praise the Immortal Maiden for her power and greatness, he suddenly thought of another question:

“Can this suppression be temporarily hidden? For example, when the ancient barbarians were hunting, they hid in the dark. Once a beast approached, even if it didn’t see the barbarian, it would instinctively fear the ancient barbarian bloodline and run away in fright?”

The Immortal Maiden first thought about it calmly, then burst into laughter: “…Hahaha, you really think things through! With my protection, how could the barbarians lack food?”

“Maiden, stop laughing and answer my question.”

“Hahaha, the barbarians have my protection!”

Lu Yang: “…”

Before this, Lu Yang had always been curious about the difference between the ancient barbarians and the current barbarians. He asked Man Gu, but Man Gu couldn’t answer. He only said that the ancient barbarians had a mysterious power in their bodies, which gave them various abilities and greatly helped the ancient barbarians. But because this power was so strong that it violated the laws of nature, it gradually faded and disappeared over time.

As for what this mysterious power was, Man Gu didn’t know, and the elders in the tribe couldn’t explain it either. They just said it was a gift from heaven.Looking back now, could this mysterious power be a curse from the Immortal Fairy?

As for why the ancient barbarian tribe was left with only Man Gu, whether it was survival of the fittest or the dilution of the Immortal Fairy’s power through generations, it remains unknown.

“Actually, I am quite popular among the demon race.”

Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Fairy with suspicion. Was this true or false? Had the demon race gone mad to welcome her so warmly?

“What, you don’t believe it? The Poverty-stricken clan said the Glutton clan warmly welcomed me to their side, and the Glutton clan said the Poverty-stricken clan warmly welcomed me to their side. I walked around the demon race, and there were laughter and cheers everywhere, bidding me farewell.”

“It’s understandable, after all, the arrival of an immortal in the demon race is like a blessing from heaven.”

“Now you know, right? Staying in your spiritual space is such a great fortune. Not to mention anything else, just the ancient secrets that I casually mention, no one else could do it like me.”

“Is there any ancient secret you mentioned that can be used?”

Lu Yang felt that he was not destined to enjoy this fortune. It would be better to let someone with a tougher life bear it.

For example, the senior sister would be a good choice.

In reality, Lu Yang sighed leisurely: “Poor Man Gu.”

Meng Jingzhou was puzzled: “What’s wrong with Man Gu?”

Why was Man Gu pitiful when they were both suffering in the dense forest?

“Nothing, let’s continue discussing what to do next.”
