Chapter 506: Chapter 254: The Foreign Demon Dares to Kill a Pureblood? A Change is Coming! (6800 words)_1

An unknown amount of time passed before Xiang Yuan left the small courtyard, and tranquility was restored. Only the ruins and marks on the ground proved what had just happened.

The next few days continued as usual. Under Nicholas’s guidance, Xiang Shan kept causing great stirs to attract more followers. Yet, the three great families made no move against him.

Xiang Shan knew this was Xiang Yuan’s doing. With his current status, he had pulled some strings, wielding immense authority within Three Origins City. The significance of the Divine Demon Ritual was no joke. Even now, Xiang Shan didn’t consider it an honor, but he had to admit that anyone chosen to participate in the grand ceremony would attain an exceedingly high status. Even the old patriarchs of the Pureblood Families dared not treat him lightly. Affecting the Divine Demon Ritual would have serious consequences. The Demon Emperor would become furious, and no one was willing to bear that wrath.

Of course, this was his ultimate glory, and also the final toll of his life’s bell.

He was fortunate that he had spared Xiang Yuan’s life, and he deeply admired Nicholas’s wisdom. Otherwise, if he had really killed Xiang Yuan, the consequences would have been enormous! The affairs of the Ancestral Demon Sect would have been inevitably affected. A chosen champion of the Divine Demon Ritual who actually believed in the equality of all demons and sought to overthrow the Demon God—that would cause great chaos and stir up massive unrest.

...

Soon, several days passed. All was calm.

However, Xiang Shan’s reputation spread farther and wider. His name and deeds began to circulate throughout the neighboring cities. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Have you heard? A sage has emerged in Three Origins City! He’s from the Earth Magic Elephant Clan and treats the Foreign Demons under him so well!"

"I heard he defied his family, even turning against them to tear down their Demon Battle Arena! He saved a huge number of Foreign Demons and gave them a new lease on life!"

"Is that all? I heard he willingly accepted punishment for his Foreign Demons, taking a public whipping that countless people witnessed!"

"A whipping? I heard he was flayed alive with a thousand cuts! They brutally skinned him; it was incredibly cruel and bloody!"

"Where are you all hearing this gossip? It’s obvious he was castrated! He sacrificed his entire lineage just to save a few Foreign Demons he didn’t even know! What a noble demon!"

The rumors grew more exaggerated as they spread, and many sighed in amazement. It was an unprecedented event. A young master from a Pureblood Family had actually gone to such lengths for lowly Foreign Demons, ones he didn’t even know!

"What sage? He’s a fool! He’s defiled the pure blood in his veins, a disgrace to the Pureblood Demon Race!"

"A Pureblood mingling with a bunch of mongrels—it’s ridiculous!"

Of course, the vast majority paid it no mind, some even mocking and sneering openly. One scion of a great clan even made Xiang Shan the subject of ridicule at a banquet for days on end and commissioned a play to be written just to insult him.

But regardless, events were developing in a favorable direction, meeting Xiang Shan’s expectations.

"HISS! Look, what is that?"

Atop the walls of Three Origins City, a demon on watch duty suddenly widened his eyes and pointed toward the gray plain in the distance, dumbfounded.

Following his gaze, everyone else froze in shock.

On the plain, a countless, pitch-black tide of figures surged toward them. They came from all directions, converging into a single, endless flood near Three Origins City. The sight was spectacular—a press of darkness that was clearly a demon tide.

The demons on the wall were shocked, their scalps tingling as they broke into a cold sweat. "Enemy attack! This must be an enemy attack!"

Even Demon Sea Island was not always peaceful. It was common for the great demon cities and tribes to wage war against one another. Recently, however, most places had been busy preparing for the Divine Demon Ritual, so conflicts were rare. The rulers of each ancient city seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement, and so they had grown lax. Seeing this scene now terrified them, and they trembled all over, instinctively reaching to sound the alarm.

"Wait!" a demon with a powerful aura suddenly stopped them, his eyes gleaming with Demonic Light as he stared intently into the distance. "It’s not an enemy attack... They’re all Foreign Demons!"

Foreign Demons?

They calmed down and looked closer.

Indeed, they were all Foreign Demons. If this were a major war, powerful experts from the Pureblood Families would be leading the charge, their overwhelming presence filling the sky. The Demon Race worships the strong, and this was the typical rhythm of every great battle. But there was nothing of the sort now.

"Halt! Who are you? For what purpose have you come to Three Origins City?" the lead demon on the wall shouted.

Below, the massive throng of Foreign Demons halted. A Shadow Fiend stepped forward, its voice ringing out clearly, "We have come to pay homage to the Ninth Prince of the Earth Magic Elephant Clan!"

At these words, every demon on the wall was stunned.

Such an incredible number of Foreign Demons... and they were all here for Xiang Shan?

Why?

But they quickly understood. While many high-ranking demons saw Xiang Shan’s actions as foolish, in the eyes of the lowliest Foreign Demons, he was a truly noble demon, the likes of which hadn’t been seen in millennia. This was enough to attract countless Foreign Demons from all corners of the world.

The news spread quickly. More and more figures appeared on the city wall, looking down at the scene below, utterly shaken. Many Pureblood Demons also appeared, their bodies shrouded in imposing Demonic Qi. They stared down at the scene below, their faces grim and silent.
