There were many princes and princesses in the Demon Race. They were like the Dragon People in the Desolate Land and the Spirit Bodies in the Five-Element Factions. Be it their status or bloodline strength, they were superior in number. They were born to be lofty existences that countless people looked up to.
Spirit Bodies were only a general term for outsiders. If one really wanted to differentiate them, there was naturally a difference in strength and status. It was the same for the princes and princesses of the Demon Race. As for the noble and cold Seventh Princess, she belonged to the highest level.
Such an existence was even more noble than a spirit body. Usually, when they saw humans, their eyes grew on top of their heads. However, today, the Seventh Princess took the initiative to greet a human. This made the Perfect Body reveal a look of surprise.
In the Demon Race, many people could die because of a word from the princess. Among humans, the Demon Race's princess was an existence that they were extremely afraid of. However, today, Zi Chen's answer to the princess surprised everyone.
"It's you. The Holy Burial Ground opened in this area. I don't think I let you Demons come, right?" Zi Chen raised his head slightly and looked at the princess, his eyes revealing some hostility.
"Last time, it was because of me that you gained so much. I thought you would be grateful. No matter what, we are still friends." The princess looked down at Zi Chen with a faint smile.
"Friends."
Zi Chen revealed a mocking expression and sneered. "Have you ever seen anyone become friends with someone who betrays their friends?"
Zi Chen was naturally referring to what had happened in the Flame Castle. At that time, almost all the people from the large factions had died. Even those who had not died had been trapped in the castle and taken away by Zi Chen. Only he, the princess, and a few demon guards knew the truth.
If not for the princess's hint, it would have been impossible for that matter to be leaked. Similarly, the Infinity Sect would not have faced the calamity of being destroyed.
"That matter was just a misunderstanding. Of course, I'm not here today to clarify the misunderstanding. I'm just here to make a deal with you."
Without waiting for the princess to finish speaking, Zi Chen immediately waved his hand and said, "I won't make a deal with the Demon Race. Your wishful thinking is wrong."
"These are the rewards for the transaction." The Princess ignored Zi Chen's refusal. With a flash of light, four black stones appeared in her hands.
Others might not know about it, but Zi Chen naturally knew the value of the black stone. It was the key to evolving a Spirit Weapon into an Earthly Spirit Weapon.
The crystal in her hand was the Demon Race's Brilliant Demon Crystal. She had once told Zi Chen that the Brilliant Demon Crystal was divided into three grades: Mortal, Extreme, and Saint.
At this moment, there were four pieces of Brilliant Devil Crystals in her palm. Three of them were top grade and one was saint grade. If they were exchanged for soul weapons, they would be two ownerless peak soul weapons.
Seeing these Brilliant Demon Crystals, Zi Chen's expression changed. All of this seemed to be within the princess's expectations. She smiled and said, "This is to thank you for giving us the opportunity to come in. Only half of it. After the transaction is completed, you will have the other half."
"What is that?" Seeing Zi Chen's expression change, the others asked in confusion.
"Brilliant Demon Crystals," Zi Chen whispered. He stared at the Princess and asked, "What kind of transaction?"
The Princess smiled and jumped off the Demon Kirin's back. She then extended her slender finger and pointed at the Holy Burial Ground in the distance. She said, "You should be able to see that the demon image on the gate is not carved. It is sealed on it. I need the power inside."
Zi Chen looked at the Princess and did not immediately agree.
The Princess explained, "The demon image that can be sealed on the gate of the Holy Burial Ground has a very high status in the demon race. They have been dead for so many years, but their power has not dissipated. This is the purest demon power. It is very useful for my cultivation."
Zi Chen turned his head and looked at the Demon Ape. The Demon Ape said, "Yes, the power is very pure."
"There is power on both gates. You need to absorb it all," Zi Chen said.
"Of course, I can't absorb it all, but I have a brother here," the Princess said. "We talked about it and we agreed to split it in half."
Zi Chen thought for a moment and finally said, "Thirty percent. I need thirty percent of the demon power."
"You should give it to the Sky Splitting Battle Ape. But thirty percent is not enough. I can only give you ten percent at most."
Zi Chen shook his head and said firmly, "Thirty percent. It has to be thirty percent."
"Twenty percent."
Zi Chen did not say anything.
This time, it was the Princess who fell into deep thought. She hesitated for a long time, which showed the importance of thirty percent of the power.
"Okay, thirty percent it is. But you and your companions must help me." The Princess finally made up her mind and nodded.
"What do you need us to do?"
"I need your people to guard outside and not let anyone in until we successfully take away the power."
"Okay."
After discussing the distribution of benefits, the following details were quickly resolved.
"Zi Chen, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."
The princess turned around and smiled. Then, she rode Mo Lin away. Beside her, the middle-aged man took a deep look at Zi Chen.
"Brilliant Demon Crystal. Zi Chen, this is really a Brilliant Demon Crystal that can transform a soul weapon," the Perfect Body asked anxiously after the Princess left.
"I've seen it before. It shouldn't be fake," Zi Chen said.
The Perfect Body asked excitedly, "Then can you sell one to me?"
Zi Chen said with a smile, "Why would I sell it? I'll give you one."
With that said, Zi Chen threw a piece to the Perfect Body.
"This …" The Perfect Body caught it with a look of disbelief, but he felt that it was too valuable, so he wanted to return it.
"Take it. These things aren't of much use to us at the moment. Besides, we don't lack this piece," Zi Chen said.
The Perfect Body thanked him profusely, indicating that he wanted to help the demons with Zi Chen.
"Be careful. I have a feeling that woman is up to no good," Su Mengyao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.
Zi Chen nodded solemnly.
After that, Zi Chen gestured for the Boundless Sect's army stationed here to seal off the area and prevent other factions from entering.
During this period of time, the Demon Princess led more than a hundred demons and approached the ancient castle.
After letting the demons pass, the army blocked the other factions outside. This instantly attracted the displeasure of the others as all sorts of shouts sounded.
"Everyone, calm down. We're just opening the door first," Lv Peng explained to everyone.
"If you're just opening the door, why aren't you letting us pass? Why are you blocking us outside?"
"That's right. Are you doing something shameful?"
Everyone naturally didn't believe it as they shouted loudly.
"Everyone, don't worry. It's just opening a door. It won't affect the matter of entering the Holy Burial Ground. As for why I'm stopping you, it's because I'm afraid that you will cause trouble midway and ruin things, thus delaying the opening of the castle door."
Lv Peng explained patiently.
In front of the ancient castle, a group of demons began to move. They began to carve and draw on the ground. At the same time, they threw out array platforms one after another, placing them in all directions.
"What are they doing?"
Zi Chen and the others were puzzled by the demons' actions. When they asked the Demon Ape, the latter said that he didn't understand either.
"Call Lv Peng over. Don't worry about those people. Let him see what's going on with this array," Zi Chen transmitted.
Soon, Lv Peng arrived and carefully observed the demons carving the array.
After a moment, Lv Peng gave an uncertain answer. "This array is related to power, but I'm not sure if it's a power extraction array."
"Demon Ape, can the power inside really be extracted?" Zi Chen asked again.
The Demon Ape shook his head. "I'm not a true demon, so I don't know much about demons. There are no records of arrays in my inherited memories, so I'm not sure if I can extract it."
No one understood. They could only watch as the demons worked.
After two hours, the array was finished.
"Alright, you can begin."
The Princess walked over and said to Zi Chen, "You need to designate a location and then inject power into the array. By the way, I also invited a few people. Get your men to let them in."
Zi Chen turned his head and saw the spirits of the Five Elements faction flying over. Apart from that, there was also Jianxin and the Overlord Body.
These were all spirits, so the Infinity Sect's guards couldn't stop them at all. However, to Zi Chen's surprise, other than these people, there was also Monk Ming Xin, the Ape Dragon, and the Draconian Demon.
These people were almost the entire Tianwu Continent's top geniuses from the large factions. Their strength was naturally top-notch.
They flew over, and the Infinity Sect's guards chased after them. Zi Chen waved his hand and sent a voice transmission, indicating for the guards to leave.
Apart from Su Mengyao, a group of existences comparable to spirits, Zi Chen's group of six, and the Perfect Body stood at the array formation's core, preparing to inject power into it.
The middle-aged demon walked forward until he reached the nomological force in front of the ancient castle.
The demon extended his hand forward, and there was a white bead in his palm. As a wisp of power was injected into the bead, beams of light fanned out towards the nomological force in front of him.
Immediately after, a suction force seemed to emit from the light. The nomological force followed the fan-shaped light and floated towards the white bead.
This white bead was actually absorbing Rule Force, which made everyone's expression become extremely surprised.
After 15 minutes, the nomological force in front of the castle was completely absorbed by the white bead. The middle-aged demon put away the bead and nodded at the Princess.
"Alright, everyone, get ready," the Princess said before glancing at the male demon at the array core beside her.
The man was extremely handsome and cold. After appearing, he didn't interact with Zi Chen and company. His expression was very arrogant.
The man nodded and shouted, "Activate the array."
With that said, the array cores began to glow. Following that, pure demonic power surged out from the array cores. The array patterns under everyone's feet lit up one after another, accumulating quite a bit of demonic power.
"Alright, exert your strength."
The Princess also shouted and pressed her palm on the array core. The pure demonic power in her body surged towards the array patterns like a flood.
