After realizing the miraculous utility of the golden horn of Tier Five on his forehead, Qi Chuan shook his head with mixed emotions.
Nonetheless, since he could smoothly bypass the Demonic Race’s artifact at the city gate, Qi Chuan decided not to dwell on it and strutted into the city through the gate.
Upon entering the city, Qi Chuan saw that, apart from the relatively wide streets, the various buildings in this Demon City exuded a raw, rugged flavor, vastly different from human cities.
Some nooks and crannies were filled with an unbearably filthy stench, hardly bearable to behold.
Of course, those areas were akin to slums, gathering places for Low Tier demons. Let alone nobles, even demons of slight standing wouldn’t enter those zones.
Qi Chuan’s purpose for entering the Demon City was, of course, to assassinate the Tier Four Upper Grade demon.
If within a human city, it’s quite a task to locate the person with the highest standing.
However, in this Demon City, finding out the whereabouts of the Tier Four Upper Grade demon is incredibly simple.
Just head to the most magnificent, clean, and civilized building in the Demon City to find them.
Immediately, after walking around a bit and having no more curiosities about the Demon City, Qi Chuan didn’t waste time and headed towards the central area of the city.
All the demons he encountered on the way, regardless of their status, naturally stopped, showing respect and awe towards Qi Chuan, clearing the path, not daring to obstruct him.
As Qi Chuan got closer to the city center, the buildings on the sides of the streets increasingly resembled human civilization’s architecture, losing some of the primitive coarseness and gaining refinement, with larger areas.
Soon, Qi Chuan finally arrived at the central location of the city.
Upon arriving here, Qi Chuan discovered there wasn’t any other construction, only a gigantic and lavish palace.
At the gate, there stood two lines of Demonic Race guards, tall and robust, wearing neat and fitting attire, resembling human guards, impassively stationed beside the entrance.
These Demonic Race guards displayed relatively few non-human traits, and their bodies emitted the aura of Tier Three demons.
Apparently, this Tier Four Upper Grade demon Lord is quite a particular demon noble.
"Stop!"
"Who goes there?"
"Lord’s palace, no approaching allowed!"
"Back! Back! Back!"
Noticing a humanoid figure approaching from a distance, the Demonic Race guards immediately turned cold-faced and shouted, yet their bodies didn’t move.
The reason is simple, as the person might have wandered accidentally; once warned, they’d likely scurry away.
However, events unfolded unexpectedly for them; the humanoid figure ahead didn’t stop and continued towards the gate.
"Roar..."
The Tier Three Lower Grade demon at the forefront on the left side stared fiercely at the figure, letting out a low growl filled with murderous intent.
By now, the warning has lost its effect, and only slaughter awaits the intruder.
Yet, as all the Demonic Race guards prepared to let the Tier Three Lower Grade demon on the left side spring into action and brutally crush the intruder upon approach.
Suddenly, the Tier Three Lower Grade demon’s body stiffened abruptly, started shivering, his complexion turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Not just him, all present Tier Three Demonic Race guards shivered nonstop, frightfully gazing at the intruder.
Or better said, frightfully gazing at the golden horn on the intruder’s forehead.
"Res... respected Upper-Tier Demon Race, I’m afraid I don’t understand what you said."
Qi Chuan slightly pondered and then waved his sleeve, gesturing for them to clear the path.
Seeing this, the Demonic Race guards naturally didn’t dare to resist and opened the way for the Upper-Tier Demon Race.
But the furthest guard, though equally terrified, struggled momentarily and suddenly darted inside the palace.
Seeing this, Qi Chuan’s eyes flashed, yet he didn’t stop him, simply unleashed a strand of Divine Sense to follow the guard, allowing him to go ahead and alert others.
Qi Chuan strolled into the Lord’s palace, guided by the Divine Sense, heading deeper inside.
Soon, as Qi Chuan traversed hallways and courtyards, before reaching the palace’s central area, he sensed a formidable aura rapidly approaching.
"Here it comes..."
Seeing this, Qi Chuan’s eyes slightly shimmered.
He could feel this was the aura of the Tier Four Upper Grade demon, no mistake.
Moreover, just one entity...
Qi Chuan didn’t move further, instead waited on the spot.
Boom!
Soon, a terrifying Tier Four Upper Grade demon’s pressure descended like a storm upon the clearing where Qi Chuan stood.
As Qi Chuan looked up, he saw the Tier Four Upper Grade demon appearing in his view.
