Chapter 350: The Semi-Divine Realm of Pojun City

On the wall, the portrait on the warrant was quite vivid, even clearer than photos taken on Earth. The middle-aged man glanced at the woman beside him, whose gaze seemed somewhat dull, and a hint of displeasure crossed his brows before he fixed his cold stare on the man in the portrait.
The portrait was gradually surrounded by the crowd, who began to chatter among themselves. The sounds of their discussion reached the ears of the two of them.
“This is the man from Pojun City, right? The warrant was posted all the way here…”
“That’s right. I heard he killed seven top-tier warriors in an instant…”
“The Third Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm has gone to quite a bit of trouble to capture this kid. The reward offered is comparable to that for capturing a top-tier warrior.” The middle-aged man removed the coldness from his eyes and smiled at the woman beside him.
“Mm,” she replied softly before turning to leave. “Let’s go!”
“Where to?” The middle-aged man stepped closer immediately.
“Back to the Immortal Realm. This Demon Realm isn’t as nice as I thought.” She shook her head with a smile.
“The place we’re in is just a small corner of the Demon Realm. Of course, it can’t compare to the luxury of my Purple Supreme City. But we could visit a few of the main cities in the Demon Realm.” The middle-aged man smiled obsequiously. “How about we go to Pojun City? It’s also a huge city, second only to the main cities, with many strong warriors. And who knows, there might even be some excitement to see.”
“Pojun City?” She frowned slightly. “Are you interested in the reward offered by the Third Demon Emperor?”
“Of course not. Though the Third Demon Emperor is strong—about on par with my disciple—I wouldn’t dare think of attacking him.” The middle-aged man shook his head and laughed. “I just saw you unhappy and wanted to take you there to see the excitement. After all, with this reward, Pojun City will be even more lively than the main cities of the Demon Realm. If you don’t want me to get involved, I promise I won’t take part in such fights. But if someone tries to harm you, I won’t show any mercy.”
She hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed. “Alright, then we can go take a look.”
“Great! Hold on tight, and let’s go see the excitement!” The middle-aged man laughed loudly and stretched out his arm. The woman gently grabbed his sleeve, and the two of them vanished from that small border town in an instant.
In Pojun City, two figures suddenly appeared on the bustling street. Most passersby didn’t notice the two extra people, but a few did see them.

“At least the person who came is a supreme-level warrior,” a thin man quietly poked his head out from a corner. “Po Jun City is also a super-large city. The restrictions outside the city can prevent all warriors below the supreme level from teleporting…”
As soon as he poked his head out, a cold snort echoed in his head, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.
“Is this Po Jun City?” The woman was slightly surprised, as the population density here far exceeded her expectations.
“That’s right. Po Jun City is a super-large city and one of the cities with the highest population density in the Demon Realm…” The middle-aged man nodded, about to continue, but was interrupted by a commotion.
Several screams gradually came from the crowd not far away.
“What’s going on?” The woman frowned slightly and glanced in the direction of the sounds.
“It’s nothing. Just a few people died,” the middle-aged man said nonchalantly. “You know, this is the Demon Realm—survival of the fittest. It’s normal to be killed in an ambush if enemies find you on the streets.”
The woman frowned even more, her gaze suddenly falling on a tavern not far away. “Let’s go sit there and see if there are any updates.”
“Good idea,” the middle-aged man nodded and followed closely behind her.
Inside the tavern, it was bustling with noise.
“Two guests, we have private rooms upstairs,” the waiter immediately recognized the expensive clothes on the two of them and quickly greeted them with a smile.
“No need. We’ll be fine here,” the woman said, pointing to the only empty table on the first floor.
“Well…” The waiter glanced at the middle-aged man, looking slightly embarrassed.
“Then let’s sit downstairs!” The middle-aged man didn’t care, simply nodded, and tossed a black crystal to the waiter.
The waiter casually put the crystal in his sleeve, guided the two to sit down, then left quickly.
Once in a secluded place, he took out the crystal and was filled with excitement. “I never expected to meet guests of such high status today. This magic crystal… it’s not even a low-grade one. These guests are so generous… But it’s not a mid-grade crystal either. I’ve seen mid-grade crystals from the shopkeeper… Could it be a high-grade crystal???”
The waiter was stunned, staring intently at the black crystal in his hand as if trying to see through it.
“You just gave that waiter a discount,” the middle-aged man suddenly whispered. “I came to the Demon Realm in a hurry and didn’t have time to exchange for a magic crystal. I could only give him the top-grade magic crystal I had stored in my ring.”

“What?” The woman was shocked. “You actually gave away such a precious magic crystal?”
“There’s no other way. Later, let’s go to the Treasure Pavilion. I’ll sell some trinkets to exchange for some magic crystals. You can also take a look for anything you want. Having seen plenty of things from the Immortal Realm, many things from the Demon Realm give a different feeling. Who knows, you might find something you like.” The middle-aged man said softly.
The woman fell silent for a while before forcing a smile. “You’re being so good to me—it’s really not worth it.”
“I’ve practiced for hundreds of millions of years. This is the only time I’ve felt affection for someone. It’s worth it for me.” The middle-aged man still wore a gentle smile. “Since taking one step forward means happiness, I certainly won’t back down. Even if happiness slips away in the end, at least I’ll have done my best to pursue it.”
Their conversation quickly turned awkwardly silent, but fortunately, the dishes were served one after another, easing the tension a bit.
The middle-aged man picked up a forkful of food and placed it in the woman’s bowl. “This is leaf from the Concentration Wood. Eating it can stabilize one’s mental cultivation. It tastes great when cooked…”
“It’s okay, I can do it myself…” They began eating absentmindedly.
The noisy voices of those around them could also be heard clearly now.
“Why doesn’t that swordsman run away after killing so many strong fighters? He doesn’t even change hotels…”
“I wonder if he’s stupid or doesn’t realize he’s being hunted…”
“I think he’s confident. He must have left on purpose…”
Everyone in the crowd had their own opinions.
“Interesting. This kid doesn’t even change rooms…” The middle-aged man laughed. “Let me see where he is…”
“You promised me you wouldn’t use force.” The woman looked up at him.
“I just want to see where he is, then we can go and watch the show together, so we don’t miss anything interesting.” The middle-aged man said nonchalantly.
“A semi-godly realm warrior!” The moment the other party’s mental energy scanned his body, Ye Feng immediately realized it.
“What incredible strength!” Tie Niu looked up in the direction of the mental energy’s source.
“He must be targeting me!” Ye Feng judged right away. “It’s been three days since I killed those seven top-tier warriors. It seems the other side has finally reacted. But I didn’t expect them to send a semi-godly realm warrior so quickly.”
“But I can’t run away. Otherwise, it will waste time if Pearl comes looking for me.” Ye Feng frowned slightly. “With an imperial-level puppet, I have no chance of defeating a semi-godly realm warrior.”

Before being captured by Wu Ze and taken to the Black Witch Clan, he had already experienced the power of half-god level warriors.
“The remaining uses of the half-god puppet are few; I can only resort to it as a last option…” Ye Feng immediately began to strategize. “I now have black crystals within me, possess a domain, and have also learned the Break Art. My strength is much greater than when I was captured last time. I shouldn’t be killed so easily… If that half-god level warrior really comes after me, I might as well fight him first to see how strong I am now. If that fails, I’ll use the half-god puppet.”
While Ye Feng was thinking of a plan, the warrior who had scanned for his location immediately reined in his mental energy.
“Interesting. He actually has an ally,” the middle-aged man said softly with a smile.
“Did you find him?” the young woman couldn’t help but ask.
“Mm. His strength is considerable—peak Absolute Stage. And he has another ally at the same level,” the middle-aged man nodded, while secretly observing the young woman’s subtle expressions.
“Peak Absolute Stage?” The young woman seemed surprised but quickly calmed down. “Strength at that level already makes one a regional ruler…”
“Huh…” The middle-aged man suddenly looked into the distance, his gaze flickering.
“What’s wrong?” the woman asked curiously. She had never seen him look like this before.
“Two half-god level warriors! One of them is as strong as me, but strangely, I’ve never seen him before…” The middle-aged man looked grave.
“Uukaka… It seems someone has discovered us… And they’re quite strong too,” said a human dressed in white, whose gender was indistinguishable, as they gently stroked the fur of a white puppy in their arms.
The white puppy looked in one direction, then lay down and closed its eyes after a while.
“Ignore him for now. We’re here to watch the show. If he dares to attack, we’ll work together to defeat him,” the man in white said, then turned his gaze toward another direction.
“Another half-god level warrior!” Ye Feng was shocked. “How can there be two half-god level warriors? How could the Third Demon Emperor bring in two half-gods to deal with me? In his opinion, one half-god should be enough. And bringing in just one already costs a lot. I don’t believe he can afford two. Nor do I believe two half-gods would lower themselves to work together to kill me!”

Ye Feng had forgotten that he could only sense those scanning him. As for other half-godly realm powerhouses in this Broken Army City, if they didn’t use mental scanning to reach him, he simply couldn’t sense them at all.
“There are two possibilities right now. One is that the two half-godly realm powerhouses were hired by different factions, both aiming to kill me. The second possibility is that they’re not here for me—this chance is small, but it’s still possible. If there’s some rare treasure emerging in this area recently, that’s also a possibility,” Ye Feng’s mind raced frantically.
He wasn’t even sure he could handle one half-godly realm powerhouse, let alone two. If these two really were here to kill him, then the half-god puppet would have to be used.
Ye Feng calmed himself down slightly and turned to Tie Niu. “Tie Niu, you must have sensed it too, right?”
“Mm, this is even more troublesome than last time!” Tie Niu nodded, his brows furrowed.
“If they really attack, I’ll hold them off while you leave immediately. Otherwise, you’ll die.” Ye Feng didn’t want Tie Niu to sacrifice himself needlessly. Although Tie Niu was strong, his chances of being instantly killed by half-godly realm powerhouses were high.
“I won’t leave!” Tie Niu clenched his fists tightly. “Last time I let you get captured. If they attack now, they’ll have to step over my body! I, Tie Niu, may die, but I’ll never break my promise!”
“Tie Niu, I know you’re someone who values loyalty and keeps his word, but you don’t have to do this for me…” Ye Feng was momentarily at a loss. He had asked Tie Niu to protect him at first because he hadn’t expected to encounter half-godly realm powerhouses as soon as he arrived in the Demon Realm. He had intended to train under Tie Niu’s protection. Now, however, he was putting Tie Niu in a deadly situation.
“You don’t need to say more. If I die, it’s my fate!” Tie Niu interrupted Ye Feng. “If this place is destined to be my grave, it’s better for you to let me fight alongside you to the end.”
Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly after a long while. “Alright then…”
But in his heart, he thought, “This time, I can only do my best to maneuver things, trying to draw their attention away…”
