1590 The Goddess’s Predicament, Demonic Voice

A weak voice came from the communication crystal. The signal was being severely disrupted, and the sound wasn’t too clear, but one could tell that Nikai’s current situation was not optimistic.

“She must have been injured,” City Lord Cotillard said.

“How could that be? Little Niki had the protection of the Divine Wings!” Nizeru spoke up nervously.

Cotillard frowned. “This is a Demon Palace we’re talking about. The power of Bloodline Suppression cannot be underestimated. We also have demon blood. It’s just that we haven’t hit the Bloodline threshold, so we’re still humans!

“There’s a lot of static in the communication crystal. This is also created by the formidable power of the Demon Palace. As for Nikai, she should be inside the Demon Palace. The suppression and disturbance has weakened her ability, so it was unable to completely protect her, causing her to be injured.”

Bang!

Nizeru slammed the table. Bloodline Suppression had always been a problem for the Demon Subduer Army. It was like a single wolf. While it might be aloof and vicious, when it ran into a tiger or lion, it would still instinctively tremble in fear.

When an ordinary person encountered a Demon King, they wouldn’t even be able to stand straight, with the excessive fear and Bloodline pressure even causing their blood vessels to instantly clog up. Thus, all former Demon-slaying heroes had possessed immense courage that was able to push back against the Bloodline suppression. Erupting with a willingness to die, they had fought against the endless pressure of the Demons!

“Nikai, listen to what I’m saying. First, you need to inject energy into the communication crystal to strengthen the signal. In this way, we can more clearly receive your message.”

As Cotillard spoke, he also injected energy into his own communication crystal. White light emerged from his finger, looking like a drop of water as it entered the crystal swirling around within it.

The signal was strengthened to the maximum. If any more energy was injected, the crystal might go past its limit and shatter!

Cotillard’s method worked, and it wasn’t long before Nikai’s voice became clearer.

“I did as you said. Can you hear me now?”

“Very clearly! Nikai, tell me the state of your injuries and if you can still hold on.”

“I think my left leg is broken. It hurt a lot a moment ago, but I’m gradually starting to lose sensation in it. Besides that, I’m okay, only a few surface wounds.”

Nikai’s left leg was broken, and she was losing feeling in it?

This wasn’t good news. Even though surgery could help the leg recover, and if the injuries were too severe, it could be replaced entirely, a repaired or transplanted leg could never compare to the original!

It was like artificial teeth. The most expensive artificial teeth weren’t as usable as the original teeth, let alone something more complicated and more important like a leg!

Nikai spoke again, “I see Xiao He and Wei Guo. They were caught up in the whirlpool with me, but they didn’t manage to survive.”

This wasn’t hard to understand. Nikai had the Divine Wings of Color to protect her, and she still ended up injured. The impacts borne by the others had to have been even worse!

“Nikai, where are you now? Is there anything around you that you can use to identify your location?”

There was a pause of several minutes. Nikai was probably observing her surroundings.

“It’s very dark, and there are a lot of statues. It’s like some strange graveyard. Wait, there seems to be an exit. I’ll go over and look.”

There was another long period of waiting. Everyone could imagine the beautiful Nikai, her body covered in wounds, dragging her broken leg around. Could she still walk? She had probably crawled over, right?

“It really is an entrance. It should lead into the Demon Palace. There’s a small box embedded into the wall of the entrance, and there’s a crystal recording a demonic voice inside. I think this crystal should be the Demon Palace’s safety guide.”

Everyone’s faces sank. A building like the Demon Palace would have a very high safety level, and it would be filled with countless traps. If one touched the wrong trap, it might cause the entire Demon Palace to self-destruct!

Thus, for the sake of safety, the demons left behind demon crystals that would contain messages regarding the safe route through the Demon Palace. If it was their own people, they could listen to the demon crystal and naturally figure out the safe path through the palace.

Humans couldn’t understand the language of demons, and even though Subduing Demon City had used demonic music to develop a method of having youths awaken their demon energy, that was a mental kind of enlightenment. When you heard the demon music, your Inner Demon would resonate, and you would naturally awaken to your demon power.

“We have to translate the demon words!” Cotillard said, his eyes turning cold. “Nikai, listen to me. Have the demonic recording play, and we’ll record it and mobilize all of Subduing Demon City to analyze its contents!

Although it wasn’t officially announced, the fact that Nikai had encountered a mishap at the Northern Sea still managed to spread through the warriors of Subduing Demon City. Everyone’s hearts ached when they learned that Nikai had been sucked into the Demon Palace and was currently missing.

The news even caused a disturbance, some of the more impulsive warriors wanting to mount their flying beasts and immediately head to the Northern Sea. Naturally, they were swiftly intercepted and rebuked by their superiors.

Reality was cruel. Even if they made it to the Northern Sea, what could they do? The investigation team had all the elites of the city, together with Cotillard and the stalwarts from the Demon Slayer Clans. Even they were powerless!

“I’m so envious. If I could have so many men willing to plunge into the flames for me, then it would be worth it to be stuck in a Demon Palace.”

“Don’t be stupid. Living is better than anything. I’d rather have no man want me than be like the goddess and pass away in my youth.”

“Don’t go jinxing it. Nikai isn’t necessarily going to die.”

Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha heard that conversation as they turned the corner of the stairs. It came from two female warriors that they didn’t know.

Opening the door to the room, Traveling Buddha sighed and said, “Ha, what a pity. Nikai was quite nice. I hope that she can come back safely.”

Xia Fan chuckled. “It’s rare to see you appreciating beauty. But I recall that you’re married. You’re not worried that Hidden Water is going to come settle accounts?”

“What are you saying?” Traveling Buddha straightened up and said righteously, “I’m not doing this for me, but for you! Who made you my brother? I already have a family, but you’re still a loner. I just thought that Nikai was a pretty good match for you.

“On that subject, Le Jiajia and Jane are also pretty good. But Jane’s background is too ordinary, and she was left back at Ashen Moon, which is a little far. However, Le Jiajia is close by. Unfortunately, she has a Demon King’s Bloodline, and from what I can tell, she has a rather strange personality and doesn’t seem interested in you.

“After considering all the options, I still think Nikai is pretty decent. Her status is high enough to match your Skywings, and her ability is powerful. She also has a good personality, with even the aunties selling snacks on the street praising her for her intelligence. She’s truly a noble daughter.”

“When did you get so gossipy?” Xia Fan grumbled. “With your EQ, it’s best if you try not to worry about me. The auntie on the street told you that Nikai was pretty good, but did she tell you that the two strongest guys of Subduing Demon City are after Nikai? Moreover, anyone who marries Nikai will become public enemy number one for every other young man in the city!”

“Tsk.” Traveling Buddha didn’t seem to mind that. “Aren’t you a Skywing? Are Skywings afraid of being a public enemy? Don’t joke with me! And stop finding excuses. If you don’t try, how can you know if it will work out?”

Xia Fan couldn’t be bothered to listen to Traveling Buddha’s nonsense. While there was nothing particularly happy about being single, he wasn’t at the level where he just had to get a girlfriend. It was better to let things proceed naturally. Trying to change oneself to match those girls and pretending to run into a girl you liked somewhere in the city were things that Xia Fan couldn’t do. The Skywings were all rather straightforward men!

Suddenly, the door banged open, and a large fellow charged into Xia Fan’s room. Thankfully, Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha were very disciplined, or else they could have instantly annihilated the impulsive fellow!

Jiang Zhibei was covered in huge beads of sweet, his fat body jiggling as he shouted, “Hurry! There’s an assembly!”

“What? Are we going to war?” Traveling Buddha raised an eyebrow and asked.

“It’s even more serious than that!” Jiang Zhibei jumped around and said, “Nikai is imprisoned in the Demon Palace, and we need to decrypt a special demonic recording. The City Lord has summoned all the warriors with high levels of Demon blood!”
