Chapter 434 Ocean Nobles
Lu Yuguan quickly tried to tear through the void, forming hand seals and focusing his energy into his dantian.
"Sesame my ass!"
"Open the door!"
……
No response.
The space remained completely still, without even a ripple.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Yuguan grew anxious and tried several more times.
They chanted the incantations loudly and rubbed their hands together until sparks flew, but it was all for naught.
Stop shouting.
Even shouting until your voice is split open won't help.
The system said faintly.
"What?"
The spiritual energy here is so thin it's almost comical.
The demonic energy was so thick it was sticky on my ankles.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; without spiritual power, how can you tear through the void?
Lu Yuguan took a look.
indeed.
There was almost no spiritual energy in the surrounding air.
Instead, that violent demonic energy was everywhere, seeping into every pore of his body.
Lu Yuguan was in tears.
"Then why did you come to the Demon Realm? Didn't I follow the incantation?"
The route is correct.
However, void travel is affected by many factors.
Especially human interference.
The system paused for a moment.
【I doubt】
Someone has secretly adjusted your travel path.
Lu Yuguan's heart skipped a beat.
"Who?"
"Is it Ji Shan? Or Li Ping?"
【have no idea】
[I didn't detect any living beings when I was moving through the area.]
Lu Yuguan felt a chill run down his spine.
What do we do now?
First, survive.
[The Demon Realm is not a tourist attraction]
Just saying.
Heavy footsteps echoed in the distance, accompanied by the clanging of metal armor.
Something's coming!
Lu Yuguan immediately concealed his aura and hid behind a giant bone.
Peeking over, I saw a group of strange-looking creatures walking towards us.
The leader was a bull-headed monster nearly three meters tall, covered in stone armor, dragging a spiked mace.
Following behind were snake-men flicking their tongues, winged yakshas, and several twisted lumps of flesh whose original forms were unrecognizable, each exuding a fierce aura and radiating demonic energy.
"Could it be an army of demons?"
Lu Yuguan's pupils contracted.
The key point is that these guys are all at the Nascent Soul stage, with the lowest being the early Nascent Soul stage!
As for the minotaur that led the group, it was even stronger than a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
Lu Yuguan's calves are cramping a bit.
He was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and even if the opposing team went all out, he still couldn't defeat them!
"Brother Tong, is it too late to play dead now?"
[Not recommended]
[Creatures in the Demon Realm are sensitive to living things]
If you play dead, they might just eat you up as a snack.
Just then, the Minotaur's nose twitched twice, and its large, copper-bell-shaped eyes suddenly turned toward the giant bone where Lu Yuguan was hiding.
"Roar!"
"It smells like humans over there!"
It's over.
Was discovered.
Lu Yuguan groaned inwardly, her mind racing.
We can't win a fight.
run?
This is a godforsaken place, I don't know anyone here, where should I go?
As the patrol team closed in in a fan shape, each of them glared at them with hostility.
The Minotaur gave the order in a deep, booming voice.
"catch him!"
"You lowly human, how dare you trespass on the territory of Stone City? Do you have a death wish?!"
Several yakshas flapped their wings and charged in.
Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth, preparing to fight to the death.
Even if it means death!
We should break a few of their teeth too!
At the critical moment, a shrill voice suddenly rang out:
"and many more!"
At the end of the line, a small, skinny lizard monster jumped out and pointed at Lu Yuguan's ankle.
"Look!"
What are those on his feet?
All the monsters turned their gazes toward Lu Yuguan's ankle.
There, a small, delicate harp pattern was shimmering slightly.
It is the mark of the Merfolk Queen.
"Golden harp pattern!?"
The lizard demon gasped.
"This...this is the mark of the sea nobility, only those of royal blood are qualified to be bestowed with it!"
The patrol team was in an uproar.
Ocean nobles?
In the Demon Realm, the sea creatures are a supreme being, not to mention their nobles.
The minotaur's fierce look subsided, replaced by a hint of surprise and uncertainty.
"You... are a humanoid sea creature?"
Lu Yuguan was taken aback at first, but then his expression became calm.
good chance!
He immediately straightened his back and put on an unhappy expression.
"Humph!"
"You only see it now?"
His mind raced, and he focused all his energy on activating the nascent soul of the Mermaid King within his dantian.
hum...
In an instant, azure light surged from Lu Yuguan's body, and his figure became even more fluid and graceful.
Transparent fins sprouted from behind her ears, her pupils turned ocean blue, and her long hair moved without wind—she was clearly the queen of the merfolk!
The entire patrol team froze.
The minotaur's spiked club fell to the ground with a clang.
"The aura of royalty... royalty!"
"They are high-ranking merfolk!"
"Your Excellency, I pay my respects!"
slam-la-
The group of ferocious beasts that had been so menacing just moments before now knelt down, heads bowed low, trembling all over.
Offending the royal family of the ocean is a serious crime!
The lizard demon kowtowed repeatedly.
"It was my fault for being blind and offending you, sir!"
"Please forgive me, sir!"
Lu Yu was overjoyed.
He slightly raised his chin, glancing at the kneeling monsters out of the corner of his eye, his voice cold and clear:
"I was just passing through and wanted to rest, but you have disturbed me. It's really noisy..."
The minotaur was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "We didn't know you were meditating here, sir. We'll leave right now, please spare us!"
Lu Yu was secretly delighted.
The feeling of pouring it into a cup is truly wonderful!
He imitated the orca's movements and casually waved his hand.
"get out."
"Don't get in my way while I'm enjoying the scenery."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The patrol team felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They didn't dare look back and disappeared in an instant, afraid that if they were even a step too slow, the official would change his mind.
Lu Yuguan only breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the monsters.
Maintaining the form of the Shark King is extremely mentally taxing.
He quickly deactivated his transformation and returned to his original form, sweat already beading on his forehead.
"call……"
"You scared me to death..."
[They're putting on quite a convincing act]
System timely comments.
“That’s right,” Lu Yuguan said smugly, “it was all acting practiced while daydreaming in class!”
[Deduct 10 points]
Pride and complacency are no good.
"..."
You are cruel.
Lu Yuguan shook his head and began to observe his surroundings.
barren mountain.
White bones.
Red Sky.
The demonic energy made people dizzy.
We need to find a way to get out of this awful place quickly.

the other side.
The patrol team, which had run quite a distance, gradually slowed down.
The minotaur wiped away a cold sweat, still shaken: "My god, I almost messed with a big shot..."
The lizard demon frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
"Boss, something's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"That noble lord," the lizard demon recalled, "since he is a member of the prestigious ocean royal family, why is he here all alone, without even a servant?"
The minotaur was taken aback.
"yes……"
"When nobles travel, it is the norm to be surrounded by a large entourage."
Another Yaksha chimed in, "Besides, he just transformed into a completely human form. Aren't humans the lowest race?"
"How could a nobleman maintain this form?"
In the Demon Realm, power reigns supreme; the closer a form is to the original, the more powerful and noble it appears.
Only demons with low strength can maintain human form for a long time, as this is the only way to avoid consuming too much demonic energy.
High-ranking nobles, in particular, value dignity and would never easily appear in a lowly manner.
More and more doubts are emerging.
The patrol members looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Could it be..." A glint of light flashed in the lizard demon's eyes, "that we've been tricked?"
The minotaur's face immediately darkened.
If they were really scammed, their entire patrol team would become a laughing stock!
"Chase them!"
The minotaur let out a low growl, raised its spiked club, and revealed a fierce glint in its eyes.
"Find out who that kid is. If he's just a human pretending to be a nobleman, skin him alive!"
