The young man calmly gazed at Xuanyuan Po, gradually calming down.
That killing intent had already disappeared, leaving behind only absolute calmness, indifference.
His voice and expression were cold to the extreme.
In his view, Xuanyuan Po was an inanimate object, an inevitable sacrifice.
"Even if I don't use anything, you are still no match for me. Chen Changsheng is also like a dog in front of me, let alone you? Once I finish my business, I will kill you. Of course, I will not personally kill you. I will have you die a painful and despairing death at the hands of your own clansmen. "
Xuanyuan Po said nothing, his body covered in blood. He did not respond.
Victory and defeat had been decided.
It seemed that no one could stop this young man from obtaining the final victory in the Heavenly Selection ceremony.
The Imperial City was abnormally quiet, devoid of sound.
The fact that the young man had so easily defeated Xuanyuan Po shocked everyone.
What was even more shocking was the information that was vaguely revealed in the few sentences that he said.
Just who was he? He had actually called the Elder of Heavenly Secrets an old man, had actually said that the Pope was like a dog in front of him?
Countless gazes fell on his body and the bamboo hat.
The Archbishop of the Western Wastes looked at his left hand.
Earlier, when the young man had clenched his hand into a fist, he had faintly seen a seal.
As one of the most senior archbishops of the Orthodoxy, he knew many ancient secrets. Coupled with the urgent message from the Li Palace last night, he had already confirmed the identity of the young man in the bamboo hat, and this was the answer he least wanted to see.
The archbishop's face was somewhat pale, his body slightly trembling.
The Great Zhou envoy and the Tang clan steward glanced at each other, seeing the shock and fear in each other's eyes.
The archbishop's body suddenly stopped trembling, and his red Divine Robe began to exude a biting and somber Qi.
The shock in the eyes of the Great Zhou envoy and the Tang clan steward also transformed into determination.
They had already confirmed the identity of the young man, so the Demi-human race should have known long ago. Yet in the last few days, there had been no sign of activity in White Emperor City. Even now, the demi-human personages in the Imperial City still had not responded. What did this mean?
They couldn't hesitate any longer. Even if it would cause the conflict to intensify, they couldn't let the Demon Race continue to trade with this person in secret!
An incomparably loud and clear shout filled with deep alarm rang out in front of the Imperial City.
"This guy is a devil!"
Then, another shout came from the opposite side of the crowd.
"He's a demon!"
Shouts rose and fell in succession in front of the Imperial City. No one could stop them, and they instantly fell into the ears of all the Monster Race citizens.
"You're a demon!"
…
…
The young man in the bamboo hat was actually a demon!
There was a sudden silence in front of the Imperial City, and then a commotion quickly broke out.
Countless gazes once more fell on the young man in the bamboo hat.
Previously, those gazes were mostly filled with respect and bewilderment, but at this moment, they were filled with vigilance, loathing, and hatred.
The high official in charge of the Heavenly Selection ceremony frowned and turned to the young man in the bamboo hat.
The Beast Guards and soldiers in front of the Imperial City suddenly paled. They raised their weapons and aimed them at the young man in the bamboo hat.
The young man quietly stood where he was. He had no intention of fleeing, nor did he open his mouth to explain himself.
He looked at the crowd around him and easily found the source of the first few shouts.
A priest, a military official from the Great Zhou embassy, and a steward of a trading company.
Only now did he realize that the Human race had already made preparations for today's event. He couldn't help but be rather surprised.
According to the military advisor's plan, the capital would only respond tonight at the soonest.
Just where had the problem gone wrong? Or were these human representatives in White Emperor City acting on their own?
But none of this mattered, and he soon stopped pondering these questions.
He had intended to reveal his identity in the first place. Although being seen through would make the situation a little more chaotic, it would not affect the overall situation.
… …
… …
"This fellow is actually a demon? Then how did he sneak into the city? "
"I just thought it was strange. Why is he always wearing the bamboo hat and looking so sneaky? So it's to hide himself."
"There are two large holes in the bamboo hat, but I don't see any demon horns."
"Could this fellow be a descendant of the Demon Imperial clan?"
The area in front of the Imperial City was in an uproar. The crowd discussed the young man surrounded, growing more and more shocked.
Ever since the alliance with the humans one thousand years ago, besides a few spies, it had been many years since a demon had appeared in White Emperor City.
And this young man was highly likely to be a descendant of the Demon Imperial clan!
The high official in charge of the Heavenly Selection ceremony had an abnormally cold expression as he sternly ordered, "Seize him!"
Several hundred of the most elite and powerful soldiers of the Red River Beast Guard slowly advanced toward the center of the plaza.
The young man glanced at Xuanyuan Po.
Xuanyuan Po was covered in blood, and many of his bones had been broken. He was no longer able to move.
If he could seize Xuanyuan Po and use his life to threaten the demi-humans, this truly would be a very good method.
Xuanyuan Po was the future of the Bear tribe, Princess Luoluo's student. More importantly, he was representing the Orthodox Academy in this battle.
The demi-humans had to consider the Li Palace's stance.
But the young man in the bamboo hat did not do this.
He quietly stood at his original position, allowing several priests and two cultivators from the south to take the enormous risk of breaking into the plaza and taking Xuanyuan Po away.
Some of the crowd couldn't help but be shaken by this sight, thinking, if he really is one of those demons who doesn't shrink from any evil, would he be willing to be captured?
The young man asked, "Why do you want to capture me?"
The high official of the Demi-human Court expressionlessly replied, "We need to confirm that you are not a demon spy."
The young man was quiet for a while, then he said, "There is no need to confirm, because I have never denied it."
Not denying it was admitting it.
The crowd fell into an uproar.
Several shrill cries resounded through the sky, and then black silhouettes flew by.
The gray vultures had left the city walls and were preparing for battle.
On the stone steps leading up to the Imperial City, one could faintly see several Yao Supervisors running.
The gate of the cavalry camp behind Heavensguard Pavilion was slowly opening, and one could already hear the faint sound of hooves.
All of White Emperor City was nervous at the identity of the young man in the bamboo hat.
He was still very calm, not the slightest bit nervous.
Because although he was a demon, he was not a spy.
A calm and lofty voice drifted down from the highest point of the Imperial City.
"Those who have come from afar are guests. Please."
These words silenced the crowd in front of the Imperial City.
The crowd was shocked and perplexed.
The high official was even more shocked, wondering if he had misheard.
The Red River Beast Guard and soldiers were the same.
The archbishop of the Western Wastes and the Great Zhou emissary had extremely nasty expressions.
It was like they had heard the news that the demons had won a war.
The young man faintly smiled as he walked up the Imperial City.
Yes, he was not a spy.
He was a guest.
A guest invited by White Emperor City.
