Chapter 155: Entering the Demon Tower

“Let’s pick up the treasure drops first, then we can head to the Demon Tower,” yelled the elder of the clan who was trailing behind.

The Demon Tower could be visited any time.

Every time the Land of the Demon Slayers opens, each individual can only enter the Demon Tower once anyway.

But once they have been kicked out from the tower, don’t even think about scaling it again.

If one chooses to scale the tower first, he would jeopardize his chances of finding any treasures.

The priority was to pick up the treasures along the way and look for the inheritance left by the masters of the Land of the Demon Slayers. Once this was completed, they could head to the Demon Tower.

“Don’t worry. We have 49 more days. Those who are wrong can seek justice for themselves, and those who hold a grudge can go seek vengeance.”

All of a sudden, someone roared. Almost immediately, the Land of Demon Slayers was thrown into turmoil.

Picking treasures became fighting for treasures.

There was only an uneasy truce between the people who had entered this land. There were already grudges and resentment between some of them to begin with. Now, as they encountered treasures, people immediately started fighting.

It wasn’t long before the Land of Demon Slayers was in complete chaos.

People were dying.

At the same time, masters continued to swarm in from the 17 entrances.

“Crap! Those are masters from the other regions.”

The Fox Clan masters on guard outside yelled in shock before dashing into the entrance.

Now that masters from the other regions had arrived, there really was nothing the Fox Clan could do.

It wasn’t just the Fox Clan; all the other Fenglan clans can forget about getting any loot from the Land of Demon Slayers.

They had failed to anticipate that their plans would lead to their own demise.

Just then, desperation spread across the faces of the other orc scouts.

“Wenguang from the Tianfeng region is here.”

An actual demon.

A demon who subdues all orcs with their bloodline alone.

Swoosh!

Before the scouts who stayed outside could even react…

A bolt of lightning flashed at one of the entrances.

“What was that?”

“I think it’s Thunder from the Shangqing region,” said the elder from the Tiger Clan.

If it wasn’t for his high power levels and how small the entrance was, that flash of a figure wouldn’t have slowed down at all.

“It’s all over! Even Thunder is here.”

“Which bastard spread the information about the Land of Demon Slayers? It gave all the other masters outside of Fenglan time to prepare themselves.”

“Fenglan region finally had a Land of Demon Slayers emerge, and now it’s going to be invaded by the other regions.”

…

At the central area of the Land of Demon Slayers.

On a mountain beside the rubbles, several orcs were fighting over a long sword.

Swoosh~

Just then, a youth donning rainbow-colored clothes appeared atop the center of the rubbles.

He was a handsome man wearing a rainbow-colored crown.

The moment he appeared, he attracted the attention of all the masters with his unique, dazzling outfit.

“Who’s that? Why have I never seen him before?”

“I don’t think he’s from our region. We’ve never had such a show-off!”

“Shh~ keep your voice down, if he dares to dress so outlandishly, he’s gotta be good.”

The masters stared at the youth, trying hard to identify him.

“I think that’s… Feng Baiqing from the Tianyao region,” said one of the masters. He gasped in surprise.

“What?”

“Why is he here?”

“Information about the Land of Demon Slayers has spread across the entire continent. Every master has their eyes on invading this place, so of course he’s here!”

“It’s all over,” the masters from Fenglan sighed.

Feng Baiqing was one of the strongest masters amongst the younger generation of the Phoenix Clan in Tianyao.

Although he was still in his youth, he had already reached the upper level of the True Realm.

No wonder he dressed so outlandishly; it was because he had the ability to match his outfit.

Swoosh!

Just as the elders of the clans were engrossed in their thoughts, a dark shadow appeared behind Feng Baiqing.

“Ao Wenguang, I didn’t think you’d come.”

“The opening of the Land of Demon Slayers is a huge event for the Demon Clan. Naturally, I couldn’t miss it.”

The dark figure stopped moving and revealed itself to be a jet-black Jiao Dragon.

“These treasures are left behind by the great masters of the Demon Clan, how could we allow them to fall into the hand of these non-demon, non-human, non-orc beings.”

The Jiao Dragon’s lantern-sized eyeballs scanned its surroundings, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

The Fenglan masters all lowered their heads.

The elders of the Fox Clan felt like they wanted to kill themselves.

They were the one who always schemed and plotted against others, but they had never thought that their schemes would end up going against themselves.

Why hadn’t they realized that the prodigies of the Demon Clan would get involved?

Boom!

“This place belongs to the Demon Clan now. Everyone else, get out!” The Jiao Dragon swung his massive tail, causing a localized sandstorm.

The elders from the other orc clans quickly channeled their powers to fend against the attack.

“Ao Guangzhi of the Eastern Ocean is here, it’s all over. This place doesn’t feel safe, let’s head to the Demon Tower!”

A few of the less powerful orcs and those who belonged to lower-ranking clans started to leave, one after another.

…

Inside the Demon Tower.

The four girls managed to reach a couple of levels above the tenth story before they had to go back down.

They were ranked near the bottom, out of everyone who had entered the Demon Smelt Tower.

Even the last few rankings on the inscription managed to reach above level 30.

Meanwhile something strange was happening to the slab at the bottom of the Demon Tower.

A line of inscription kept blinking.

First it showed level 33, but the line kept skipping upwards quickly.

A few orcs arrived at the Demon Smelt Tower.

“So this is the ranking that was mentioned in the Legends.”

The orcs looked at the words engraved on the front of the slab of stone. Then they moved to study the ranking system that was written on the back of the slab.

“What’s the point of looking at this? The names on the top 5000 rankings have never come from Fenglan,” said one of the Orc Clan members.

“I knew it, none of the top-ranking names came from Fenglan.”

Two Horse Clan members had arrived and they shook their heads too.

The disappointment on their faces was obvious.

“We finally had a chance to own the Land of Demon Slayers, I thought…”

“Stop fantasizing. Let’s enter the tower! When the masters of the other regions arrive, there won’t be any chances left for us.”

The orcs entered the Demon Smelt Tower hurriedly.

A few moments later, masters from the Tiger and Wolf Clans appeared before the tower.

“No need to look at the rankings. The Demon Tower has existed for tens of thousands of years and the rankings at the top have never changed. We need to just get in as quickly as we can and get whatever items we can find.”

As the tiger and wolf orcs went it, the Fox Clan arrived as well.

“These bastards, fighting at the Land of Demon Slayers,” said the elder from the Fox Clan.

He didn’t think that the Jiao Dragon and Feng Baiqing would start fighting.

The battle between the phoenix and the dragon gave them the opportunity to escape.

Getting the other treasures seemed impossible now.

They needed to explore the Demon Tower first.

If they didn’t enter the tower, this whole expedition would be wasted, and all their plans that had taken so long to craft would have been for nothing.

As they once again recalled their schemes, the orcs from the Fox Clan felt like slapping themselves across the face.

If they had abandoned the scheme, they would still be fighting for the treasures!

By the time they came out of the Demon Tower, whatever treasures out there would have nothing to do with them.

Half a day later.

Several more figures dashed in to the Land of Demon Slayers just as the entrances closed.

The four girls were huddling together in an unknown corner of the rubble.

“Terrifying! There are so many masters here.”

“Shhh, speak softer. Hubby told us to hide and not make a sound.”

“I know. So many masters have already entered. The entrances to the Land of Demon Slayers would be closed soon, and no one else can enter. There aren’t that many people here, so we’ll be safe hiding in a quiet, inconspicuous place like this,” Xu Fang said softly.

A voice suddenly appeared above the girls’ heads.

“Hey hey! Look at these human hot chicks! You think you’re gonna be fine? Even I find it hard to bring myself to eat ya’ll.”

The four girls raised their heads and looked upwards.

“Run! It’s the Bat Clan!”

“Run? Who can run away from my hands?”

The black figure opened its wings, sweeping the girls away in one fell swoop before flying into the distance.
