Chapter 239: Chapter 238 The Differences Between the Barbarian Tribe and the Ancient Barbarian Tribe_1

This was the most rugged and grandiose city they had ever seen. It was built with massive refined steel and stone, indestructible, emanating a sense of stern slaughter. It stood tall like a stalwart figure, situated at the border between the human race and the Demon Race, suppressing all invading enemies.

The three big characters “Demon Suppressing Pass” were not just for show, they were a rare treasure, capable of differentiating between the human race and the shapeshifted Demon Race. Anyone who wanted to enter the city would have to pass through the rays of this great treasure to prove their innocence, and this was no exception even for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“My uncle is stationed at the Lock Demon Gate, seems like we won’t be able to meet him.” Meng Jingzhou shook his head, somewhat regretful.

“Make way, make way, my brother is wounded, we need a doctor to treat him!” Just as the two of them were about to enter the city, they heard shouting from behind. Two stout men were carrying a palanquin with a leaner individual on it, who was groaning painfully.

The crowd naturally made way. However, when this group was about to run into the Demon Suppressing Pass, the three characters “Demon Suppressing Pass” enveloped the trio. To everyone’s surprise, they screamed in unison, smoke started to rise from their bodies, revealing their true forms.

Those two strong men were actually two giant wolves, and the person they were carrying was not a human cultivator, but an uninjured beast.

The assemblage of warriors guarding the entrance of the Demon Suppressing Pass reacted swiftly without a trace of hesitation, promptly took out their spears and axes, and killed the three Demon Beasts!

It was not uncommon for Demon Beasts trying to sneak into the Demon Suppressing Pass. The fate awaiting them was always death!

Upon entering the Demon Suppressing Pass, they saw people selling Demon Beast skin and Inner Cores on the streets, people selling elixirs for wounds claiming it to be twenty percent cheaper than the store’s price, and people boasting about their high cultivation levels, offering themselves to be bodyguards.

The people were just like the city: rugged and bold.

The duo found an inn, rested for the night to restore energy, and clarified their current situation.

Lu Yang, pointing at the map, started to analyze the information they had gathered.

“This is the Demon Suppressing Pass, about 200,000 miles away from the Lock Demon Gate where your uncle resides. The dense forest we just entered is the boundary between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Demon Territory, serving as a neutral ground between the two, not in the possession of any specific power.”

“We’ll need to cross through the dense forest and walk through a thick fog to reach the authentic Demon Territory.”

“An incidental piece of information I’ve gathered from the newspaper seller suggested that this place is a major hub for Demon Beast trade, the Land Money Trade Association’s flying boat will make scheduled stops here. There will be one arriving tomorrow at noon. So, do you want to go back?”

Meng Jingzhou was about to say ‘Is there even a need to think about it? Of course we should go back.’, but he changed his mind mid-sentence.

“Go back? Why should we go back? After the dense forest gave us such a hard time, we need to show these Demon Beasts some manners, otherwise how are we going to show our face in future?”

Lu Yang gave a hearty smile, “What a coincidence, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”

The two agreed immediately and decided to stay here for a while; they would not go back until they made a name for themselves.

Returning in a state of defeat was not their style.

“It’s a pity that the fellow Man Gu didn’t come. The bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe in his body naturally suppresses Demon Beasts.” In the Spiritual Space, Fairy Eternity shook her head regretfully.

Lu Yang suspected that when Eldest Senior Sister was standing behind them, Fairy Eternity had known everything clearly, and she did not warn him because she wanted to make fun of him.

It was a logical suspicion.

Lu Yang was soon distracted by Fairy Eternity’s topic, “Really?”

When it came to this matter, Fairy Eternity was exceptionally proud. She put a hand on her hip, implying as if she was controlling everything: “Of course, did you think that I only enhanced the wisdom level for Barbarian tribe and bestowed the wisdom to them? At that time, a minor part of my power was also shared to them!”

“Who do you think I am? Do you know how many ancient Demon Beasts I tasted while creating the ‘Culinary Bible’?”

“The Ancient Demon Beasts fear me encoded deep in their blood, although Man Gu has received only a negligible part of my power, he indirectly has the ability to naturally withstand the Demon Beasts.”

“The Ancient Barbarian Tribe, powered by my gift, can boast overwhelming superiority among the Demon Race. They can control those who are inferior in their status merely using their bloodline. If they encounter someone who is equal to them, they can easily handle two opponents by themselves.”

Just when Lu Yang was about to praise Fairy Eternity for her power, he thought of another question:

“Can this suppressive power be temporarily concealed? Like if the Ancient Barbarian Tribe went hunting, they would hide in the dark, once a beast came near, although they did not see any Barbarian, their instincts would make them afraid of the bloodline of the Barbarian Tribe, scaring them into fleeing?”

Fairy Eternity first calmly fell into silence to think about the issue, followed by bursting into laughter: “Ha-ha-ha, you really do consider things thoroughly! When the Barbarian Tribe has my protection, how could they ever run short of food?”

“Fairy, can you please stop laughing and answer my question?”

“Ha-ha, with my protection, the Barbarian Tribe…”

Lu Yang: “…”

Prior to this, Lu Yang always wondered what was the difference between the Ancient Barbarian Tribe and the present Barbarian Tribe. He asked Man Gu, but even he could not answer. Man Gu only said that Ancient Barbarian Tribe possessed a kind of mysterious power, they had multiple capabilities and it gave them great assistance. But because this power made the Ancient Barbarian Tribe go against natural laws, it was gradually fading away as years passed by.

As for what exactly this mysterious power was, not even Man Gu knew, even elders of the tribe could not give a definite answer, only referring to it as a gift from heaven.

Now thinking about it, this mysterious power might be the curse made by Fairy Eternity, right?

As for why only Man Gu was left from the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, whether it was natural evolution, survival of the fittest, or because generations had diluted Fairy Eternity’s power was still unknown.

“In fact, I was quite popular among the Demon Race.”

Lu Yang looked at Fairy Eternity skeptically, wondering if it was true or false. Are the Demon Races out of their minds? They actually like you?

“Why, you don’t believe me? Qiongqi Tribe said that the Toad Branch Tribe would warmly welcome me to visit them, whereas, Toad Branch Tribe said the Qiongqi Tribe would warmly welcome me to visit them. I took a stroll in the Demon Race’s territory, waves of laughter and cheering were everywhere seeing me off on my departure.”

“Truth be told, it’s understandable. After all, an Immortal visiting the realms of the Demon Race is equivalent to receiving a blessing from the heavens.”

“Now you know, right? For me to reside in your Spiritual Space is such a great blessing. Apart from anything else, the ancient secrets alone that I casually mention here are something that anyone else couldn’t possibly know.”

“Fairy, have you mentioned a single useful ancient secret?”

Lu Yang felt that he’s not blessed to receive this kind of blessing. It would be better to have someone else with high luck to bear it instead

Eldest Senior Sister seems to be a great choice.

Back in reality, Lu Yang sighed deeply: “Poor Man Gu.”

Meng Jingzhou was taken by surprise: “What happened to Man Gu?”

How did Man Gu became pitiable while the two of them were suffering in the dense forest?

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