Riding the flying chariot all the way back to Wanmo City, Lu Xuan could finally see the true appearance of the demon race's settlement. Wanmo City was the only city of the demon race on the Demon Sealing Continent. There weren't many of them, so one city was more than enough.
Wanmo City wasn't as shabby as Lu Xuan had imagined. Instead, it was comparable to the major human cities on the Sky Sword Continent. Even if it couldn't compare to core cities like Jiuhua City and Sky Saint City, it was comparable to a second-tier main city like Red Flame City.
The buildings were arranged in picturesque disorder, and they weren't simply put together. They could be considered exquisite. Many demons could be seen walking on the streets, and there were even many vendors. It was a miniature world of its own.
It made sense. The demon race had stayed here for tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years was enough for them to change the entire Demon Sealing Continent several times.
The flying chariot didn't stop after entering Wanmo City. Instead, it continued forward. The demons below only glanced at it once before paying it no more attention. They were already used to it. Wanmo City wasn't that big, and they could tell at a glance that the flying chariot in the sky belonged to the Ling Family.
"Our Ling Family's castle is right in front." Ling Jin smiled at Lu Xuan. "Apart from me, there are two other uncles in our Ling Family. I'm sure they'll be very happy to see you, Senior Xia."
In order to block the news of Lu Xuan's arrival, Ling Jin didn't inform Ling Shang and Ling Yu in advance. She didn't want the news to leak, but she wasn't too worried now. On one hand, she had regained Lu Xuan's favor, and on the other hand, she had slandered the Xuan Family a little. Unless there were special circumstances, Lu Xuan probably wouldn't turn to the Xuan Family.
The flying chariot flew above Wanmo City and soon arrived in front of a rather tall castle. Just the castle's gate was nearly thirty meters tall. Considering the size of the Giant Demon Race, it was understandable that it was taller.
However, what interested Lu Xuan even more was the design of the Ling clan's castle, which was completely different from the architectural style of the human race. Almost all of the buildings had pointed roofs, giving off a tall and thin feeling. Compared to the grandeur that human architecture emphasized, the castle had a unique, exotic feel to it.
The flying chariot slowly landed. Ling Jin stood up and said, "Senior Xia, we're here. Please."
The flying chariot slowly landed. Ling Jin stood up and said, "Senior Xia, we're here." At this moment, there were already many demons standing in front of the Ling Clan Castle. The two demons at the very front were obviously from the Heavenly Devil Clan. It was obvious that they were the uncles that Ling Jin had mentioned.
Ling Shang and Ling Yu were both stunned when they saw Lu Xuan walking out. They looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. They naturally had to welcome Ling Jin back from hunting. However, they didn't expect that the person who walked out of Ling Jin's flying chariot wasn't Ling Jin, but a stranger.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the two of them could only stand there foolishly, trying to guess Lu Xuan's identity. Fortunately, Ling Jin walked out and stood next to Lu Xuan.
Ling Shang and Ling Yu heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Ling Jin. Ling Shang took a step forward and asked, "Little Jin, this is?"
Ling Jin didn't rush to answer. She only said, "We'll talk when we get back."
She then waved at the Devil Race behind her, signaling them to disperse. Only then did she lead Lu Xuan into the castle. Ling Shang and Ling Yu were even more surprised when they saw how respectful Ling Jin was to Lu Xuan. In the entire Demon Sealing Continent, there wasn't anyone worthy of such respect from Ling Jin.
There was no need to mention the Xuan Clan. Ling Jin had never been very fond of them. Although they were Ling Jin's clan uncles, Ling Jin's status was that of a commander. She didn't need to be respectful to them. Instead, they had to bow to her.
Ling Shang and Ling Yu followed Ling Jin into the castle with their hearts full of questions. After entering the castle's main hall, Ling Jin first asked everyone to leave. Then, she invited Lu Xuan to sit on the main seat. She then explained to Ling Shang and Ling Yu, "Senior Xia is a member of the Xia Clan of the Devil Race in the Heaven Region. This time, he came down as a messenger of the Heaven Region to help us return to the Heaven Region."
"Return to the Heaven Region?" Ling Shang and Ling Yu exclaimed at the same time. They didn't know how long it had been since they last heard these words. If there were still people who hoped to return to the Heaven Region when the Devil Race first came to the Demon Sealing Continent, then after a thousand years, almost no one had this hope anymore.
Now that ten thousand years had passed, almost all of the Devil Race on the Demon Sealing Continent had accepted their fate. They treated the Demon Sealing Continent as a place to rest, not a temporary refuge.
If there was any Devil Race that still wanted to return to the Heaven Region, it would be the Ling Clan. This was also the reason why the Ling Clan had maintained a pure bloodline.
"After ten thousand years of persistence, the light of hope has finally come?" Ling Yu seemed very excited. Even his robes were trembling slightly. Then, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Ling Yu of the Ling Clan greets the Lord Messenger. I hope that the Lord Messenger can bring us back to the Heaven Region as soon as possible. We have waited for this day for ten thousand years!"
Although Ling Yu was a Ten Star Demon Emperor and his strength was incomparably inferior to Ling Jin's, this' Lord Messenger 'was from the bottom of his heart. First of all, Lu Xuan was their only savior, so he naturally deserved to be called 'Lord'. Secondly, Lu Xuan was able to pass through the powerful barrier of the Sky Sword Continent, so his true strength was at least at the Demon Exalt level.
Lu Xuan had already gotten used to his identity. At this moment, he stood up unhurriedly and raised his hand to indicate that Ling Yu did not need to be so polite. He smiled and said, "This is what you deserve. Although the mission ten thousand years ago failed, your contributions and sacrifices cannot be erased. It's a pity that this day came ten thousand years too late. Many of the ancestors of the Ling Clan died while waiting. "
Compared to Ling Yu's overflowing excitement, Ling Shang's expression was a little doubtful. The reason for his doubts was similar to Ling Jin's. Firstly, Lu Xuan's appearance was too sudden. Secondly, why was this Lord Messenger only a Three Star Demon Emperor?
However, he did not suspect that Lu Xuan was sent by the Xuan Clan. After all, he had always been in contact with the Xuan Clan. If the Xuan Clan had made such a big move, it was impossible for him to be completely unaware.
"Ling Shang of the Ling Clan greets Lord Messenger. May I ask Lord Messenger, why did the Heaven Region only send someone to receive us after ten thousand years?"
Ling Jin's expression changed slightly when she heard Ling Shang ask the same question as her. She was worried that Ling Shang would anger Lu Xuan again. If that happened, everything she had done before would have been in vain.
"Second Uncle, opening the barrier of the Sky Sword Continent requires the help of a Demon Emperor. It's already good enough that the Demon Emperors are willing to open the barrier for us. How can we ask for more?" Ling Jin's tone carried a hint of reprimand as she took the initiative to explain for Lu Xuan.
"Then why is it that a Demon Emperor is willing to help us now? Ten thousand years isn't a short time for the Heaven Region. It's already a blessing that we haven't been forgotten, let alone that they've taken the initiative to help us. " Ling Shang threw out another question. It had to be said that a wily old fox was indeed a wily old fox. He had considered more things than Ling Jin.
It wasn't that Ling Jin wasn't considerate. It was just that Lu Xuan had put on an expression for her earlier. She was worried that she would anger Lu Xuan, so she didn't think too much about it and didn't dare to ask.
Hearing Ling Shang's question, Ling Jin couldn't help but think about it. That's right, why did they think of saving us now?
She wasn't the only one thinking about it. Lu Xuan was also thinking about it. That's right, why did they send someone to save us after ten thousand years? Sigh, what a headache. It's so hard to lie.
