Chapter 881: Imperial Demon (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The fox-masked woman, sent to Zhao Yu’s side, felt a bit anxious. However, seeing that he was focused on watching the demonic creature, she relaxed a little.

Recalling what Zhao Yu had said earlier, she couldn’t help but ask, “Master, where is that ‘very far away’ place you mentioned?”

Zhao Yu glanced at her and replied, “What’s the farthest place you know?”

“The farthest place…”

The fox-masked woman scratched her head, unsure. “Qing City, or maybe Yu City?”

Zhao Yu nodded, “The place I come from is even farther than those.”

“Wow, Master, you are amazing!” the fox-masked woman couldn’t help but exclaim.

Zhao Yu smiled and asked, “Why does that make me amazing?”

“I’ve heard that even the esteemed Imperial demon don’t dare to travel between cities alone; they always form caravans to travel together…”

The fox-masked woman explained. “For you to come from such a faraway place alone, you must be exceptionally powerful, even among the Imperial Demon…”

She said this, but in her heart, she was puzzled. Zhao Yu’s appearance was too clean, almost like an ordinary person.

After all, truly powerful Imperial Demon had obvious demonic features, unlike Zhao Yu, who seemed too pristine.

Maybe… his demonic features were hidden under his clothes?

The fox-masked woman looked at Zhao Yu’s strange armor, guessing that it must be to conceal his demonic features.

But why would one hide demonic features?!

She felt that this new Lord Imperial Demon in front of her was shrouded in mystery.

Zhao Yu chatted idly with the fox-masked woman for a while. Meanwhile, the two tiger-masked men had already dismembered the demonic creature’s corpse and tied it up with ropes.

“Master, this demonic creature is too large. We might not be able to carry it all…”

One of the tiger-masked men pointed at the three piles of meat on the ground.

“That’s fine, just take the valuable parts,” Zhao Yu nodded.

The three men immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They had feared that this master would be too overbearing and force them to carry the entire demonic corpse, which would have been a huge burden.

With that, the group set off in a direction.

Zhao Yu learned that the dark red desert was a restricted area. There was nothing unusual during the day, but no creature had ever lived through the night.

No matter how powerful a being was or how powerful the demon was, there was no exception.

“We are all herb gatherers from the forbidden border town. Usually, we rarely encounter monsters here. After all, this place is close to the forbidden area…”

“I don’t know what happened this time, but I actually encountered a demonic creature. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to encounter you and escape…”

“Otherwise, we might have to hide in the restricted area…”

“The forbidden zone is too ominous. It’s best not to enter if possible…”

The few of them walked for a while. For some reason, the three of them felt that Zhao Yu had a particularly peaceful aura on him, making them involuntarily want to get closer.

If it were any other , they would not dare to say so much.

As for Zhao Yu, he had more or less understood the situation of this world from chatting with the three of them.

Other than humans, there were also a large number of monsters in this world.

In the past, humans were completely unable to resist the monster or demons and were almost driven to extinction.

At that critical moment, a group of sages stood up and used various methods to try to obtain the power of the demons to fight against them.

In the end, one of the sages captured an ape-type monster and bred it, successfully giving birth to the first Lord Imperial Demon with the characteristics of a monster and far more powerful than a human.

Although the strength of the Lord Imperial Demon was still very weak compared to the real demons, they were much stronger than ordinary monsters.

In the early years, many Lord Imperial Demon joined forces and successfully killed the real demons, thus completely opening the era of Imperial Demon.

Zhao Yu was stunned.” So, people nowadays are all hybrids of humans and demons?!”

“Plop ~~!”

The three men were startled and immediately knelt on the ground, hurriedly pleading, “Spare us, my lord! We didn’t mean it that way…”

Zhao Yu was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized that they had mistaken him for a Imperial Demon.

After some questioning, he understood that although the era of Imperial Demon had been established for a long time.

Yet, not everyone was a Imperial Demon. In this world, they didn’t know much, but in the small border town where they had grown up and never left, ninety-nine percent of the people were ordinary, with only a small minority being imperial demon.

These imperial demon were invariably local elites, intermarrying to keep their bloodlines pure and rarely allowing their powers to spread beyond their families.

The reason for this was that marrying non-demon tamers weakened the inherited powers of their descendants.

“Is there no other way to combat those demonic creatures besides relying on the Imperial Demons?”

Zhao Yu asked.

From what he had just dealt with, that demon creature was only of the first rank. With some training in martial arts or techniques, it should be manageable, right?

Moreover, a first-rank creature wasn’t that powerful. Ordinary people, if equipped with some weapons and formation, should be able to handle it, shouldn’t they?

“Well…”

The three men looked bewildered and shook their heads in unison, “No, we owe our survival to the Imperial Demon. Without their protection, humanity would have been extinct long ago…”

“You mean you all have never even tried to rely on increasing human strength alone to fight the demonic creatures?”

Zhao Yu shook his head.
