In response to Qinchuan's question, the old man shook his head and answered, "It's not me, but the Gate of Myriad Demons."
Qinchuan subconsciously turned to look at the city gate and said to the old man, "This gate is really called the Gate of Myriad Demons."
The old man nodded with a smile and said to Qinchuan, "It was refined from the bloodline of myriad demons, so it's naturally called the Gate of Myriad Demons. If the Gate of Myriad Demons couldn't even identify the true dragon bloodline, then it wouldn't be worthy of being called the Gate of Myriad Demons."
Qinchuan gently nodded at the old man's words, then asked the old man, "You're a demon too?"
The old man nodded and said to Qinchuan, "I'm called Xuan She, the commander of Myriad Demon City."
Qinchuan looked at Xuan She curiously and asked, "Then who's the city lord of Myriad Demon City?"
Xuan She replied, "The city lord's name is Long Bo, but he's been dead for tens of thousands of years.
Right now, the only person in Myriad Demon City who's qualified to become the new city lord is you. "
"Me?" Qinchuan shook his head and said, "I'm here to search for treasures, not to become the city lord."
Qinchuan wasn't a hot-blooded young man who didn't know anything. Right now, there were countless people blocking the Gate of Myriad Demons. They had yet to break through the Gate of Myriad Demons, but that didn't mean that they wouldn't be able to do so in their lifetime. Once the Gate of Myriad Demons was broken through, Myriad Demon City would definitely be attacked. To become the city lord at such a time was simply courting death!
Xuan She wasn't surprised by Qinchuan's rejection. He stared deeply at Qinchuan and said, "Are you worried that you'll become the target of everyone when you break through the city?"
Qin Chuan nodded honestly and replied, "Although I have the bloodline of the True Dragon in my body and have some connection with you, I really can't risk my life because of this. I'm sorry, I really can't do it. There are still many important things waiting for me outside. I can't risk my only life here."
Qinchuan had always believed that the more powerful one was, the more one could do. He was now at the peak of the Dongxu Realm, not the peak of the Body Integration Stage. Even if the Tian people didn't interfere, he wouldn't be able to resist the 20 Body Integration Stage overlords of the Protoss.
Xuan She appreciated Qinchuan's honesty very much. He smiled at Qinchuan and said, "I think you've misunderstood my intentions. I want you to succeed me as the City Lord because I don't want the items in the city to fall into the hands of outsiders. As for the invaders, I'll naturally deal with them."
Qinchuan glanced at Xuan She and said, "To be honest, I don't feel any powerful aura from you. There are at least 40 Body Integration Stage overlords outside. How are you going to deal with them?"
Xuan She smiled and said to Qinchuan, "I naturally have a way to deal with them. Before I die, they won't be able to destroy the Demon City!"
Seeing Xuan She's firm attitude, Qinchuan asked curiously, "What is it that you want me to take with me?"
Xuan She turned to the side and made an inviting gesture to Qinchuan, "Please follow me."
Rumble!
Hearing the loud noise from the city gate, Qinchuan subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, as if he was worried that the Door of Myriad Demons would be breached.
"Don't worry. With their strength, they'll need at least three days to break through the Door of Myriad Demons," Xuan She said to Qinchuan, "Before that, you don't have to worry about running into them."
Qinchuan nodded and followed Xuan She into the palace. When he saw the countless figures hiding in the palace, Qinchuan was stunned. There were tens of thousands of Demon Clan members hiding in the palace!
Xuan She sighed when he saw Qinchuan's shocked expression. He said to Qinchuan, "They are the descendants of our Demon Clan. For generations, they've lived in the Great Demon Ridge outside the city. If it weren't for the Invaders, they might still be living freely in the Great Demon Ridge.
In order to prevent the Invaders from using them to open the Door of Myriad Demons, I took them all into the city. "
Qinchuan asked curiously, "Apart from you, who else was in the city?"
Xuan She shook his head and replied, "Ever since City Lord Long Bai passed away, I'm the only one left."
Qinchuan looked at Xuan She and asked, "How did Long Bai die?"
"No matter who you are, even if you're a supreme existence, you can't escape from old age, sickness, and death." Xuan She sighed and said, "City Lord Long Bai passed away after seventy-four thousand years."
Hearing Xuan She's sigh, Qinchuan pursed his lips and asked, "Are you all trapped here?"
Xuan She shook his head and replied, "I don't know what happened back then. The expeditionary army left and never returned. However, this is our home. Someone has to stay behind to protect it."
Qinchuan couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in his dream. The expeditionary army was probably the pitiful people who were slaughtered by the Human Sovereign.
With this in mind, Qinchuan couldn't help but sigh and ask Xuan She, "Do you know about the Void Empire?"
Xuan She replied, "Of course I know about the Void Empire. Our demon race and the human race are the vanguard against the Void Empire. We're mortal enemies with the Void Empire."
Qinchuan took a deep look at Xuan She and asked, "What do you think of the Human Sovereign?"
Xuan She pondered for a moment before answering, "Yu is a good Human Sovereign."
Yu.
Qinchuan was slightly moved after hearing Xuan She's way of addressing the Human Sovereign. He asked, "The Human Sovereign's name is Yu?"
Xuan She nodded and sighed. He told Qinchuan, "You came from the outside world but you don't know the Human Sovereign's name. I'm sure the outside world has changed a long time ago."
Since a long time ago, Xuan She had already guessed that the outside world was no longer the world he was familiar with. The demon race probably no longer existed. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so many years for people to arrive at Myriad Demon City.
Qinchuan looked at Xuan She with a complicated gaze and replied, "The human race and the demon race have now retreated from the stage of history and are hiding in a corner to recuperate. I can be said to be the strongest of the two races. Most of them are only at the Nascent Soul realm."
Xuan She fell silent after hearing Qinchuan's words. He didn't expect the situation of the human race and the demon race to be worse than he imagined. Not only did they lose their homeland, they didn't even have a single overlord at the Body Integration realm. Most of them were only at the Nascent Soul realm!
"How sad. The once strongest race in the universe has fallen to such a degree. I thought you were the heir of one of the two races. I didn't expect you to be the leader."
Xuan She let out a long sigh and said to Qinchuan, "If that's the case, you have to take that thing away."
Qinchuan asked curiously, "What is this thing you're talking about?"
Xuan She gave Qinchuan a deep look and said, "It's the hope for the human race and the demon race to rise again!"
