To Break the Magic

Chapter 8

Over the years, demonic beasts had attacked cities where humans lived more than once, and the responsibility of human martial artists was to slay demons!

For this reason, many warriors had sacrificed their lives. Among them, there was no lack of top experts in the "Breaking Emptiness Stage and Sky-breaking Stage", who repelled the demon beasts' attacks and kept the dignity of human beings!

Seeing this, Zhan Feng felt respect for the martial artists of this world for the first time. When faced with a savage monster, they could come forward and defend the dignity of the human race with their lives. Just based on this point, martial artists were the most respectable people in the demon-sealing continent.

After countless years of battle with demonic beasts, martial artists were roughly divided into four ranks,Sky, Earth, Dark, and Yellow. The four ranks corresponded to the martial artists' "Formation Stage" to the "Breaking Emptiness Stage". Above the "Heavenly Realm", there was another rank, which was called the "Body Transformation Stage"!

If a demonic beast of this rank could transform into a human, it would be equivalent to a 'Sky Splitting Stage' martial artist. Since a demonic beast of this rank could transform into a human, and a demonic beast was naturally gifted, a 'Body Transformation Stage' demonic beast would be a bit stronger than a 'Sky Splitting Stage' martial artist, making it extremely difficult to identify.

In order to effectively resist the attack of demonic beasts, and in addition to the fact that the demonic beasts' Demonic Cores could enhance their cultivation, all the Giant Spirit Sects on the continent were united to form the Demon Slayer League, which was located in various big cities of the empire. Martial artists were specially organized to enter the areas where the demonic beasts inhabited to kill and hunt for Demonic Cores!

"Hmm? Why does this book mention the City of Red Sand separately?"

Zhan Feng thought that it was over, but when he looked back, he found that the book mentioned the Red Sand City alone. Curious, he continued reading.

Redsand City was located in one of the two great empires of the Fiends continent, the South Heaven Empire. It was adjacent to the other empire of the continent, the Big Dipper Empire. But the reason why Redsand City was famous wasn't because of this point; it was because there was an endless mountain range a hundred and fifty kilometers to the south of Redsand City,the Highwater Mountain Range!

The Qilian Mountain Range was one of the lands inhabited by the ten demon beasts on the Devil Sealing Road. The number of demon beasts and spirit beasts in the mountain was astonishing. Therefore, many warriors had used Red Sand City as their supply point to the Qilian Mountain Range. Thus, there were also a huge number of warriors in Red Sand City. Many of the major merchants had also settled down here in order to purchase the best demon cores and demon beast materials.

There were three major native clans in Red Sand City, the Sima Clan, the Zhan Clan, and the Wang Clan! These three clans were deeply rooted in Red Sand City, and most of the businesses in the city belonged to the three clans...and so far, there was a monopoly over the entire Red Sand City!

Zhan Feng slowly exhaled, closed his book and put it aside. The conjecture in his mind became more and more real.

It was very likely that the demon-sealing continent was a place that specifically sealed fiendish demons! Not only were there fiendish demons present, even demonic beasts and spirit beasts had come out, but they were also able to transform... All of this confirmed the authenticity of his conjecture.

"If this is really an independent space that seals demons and devils, how powerful does it require? And who built this space? What intention does the creator have?"

Zhan Feng felt his head ache when he thought that speculation might turn into reality.

She shook her head impatiently and thought, "Take things as they come! Now everything is just speculation, and it is hard to say whether it will become a fact or not. Don't think too much. They can survive here. Am I not allowed to do that?"

Zhan Feng felt much more at ease after he understood this point. He wanted to go out and take a look at the massive Demon Slaying League.

"Xin'er, call Zhan Yun over." Zhan Feng called over a maid and said.

"Yes, Young Master!" The maidservant by the name of Xin'er answered respectfully and turned to greet Zhan Yun.

Seeing the respectful expressions on the maids' faces, the corners of Zhan Feng's lips curled into a faint smile.

Since his birth in the test yesterday, his status in the Zhan family had changed dramatically! Zhan Shiyuan had wanted them to move to a better yard, but Qin Qianxue said that he had feelings for this yard, so he did not change it. However, Zhan Shiyuan still sent some maids to serve them, which made the yard become lively.

The housekeepers and deacons, who used to be arrogant, all came to fawn on him, which annoyed the mother and son.

According to Zhan Feng's personality, he could just throw those people out directly, because that kind of hangers-on was the most unreliable person. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was better not to think about it. He could not stay with Qin Qianxue all his life, sooner or later he would leave. In order to make Qin Qianxue live better in the future, he allowed those people to flatter him, but handed over the reception thing to Zhan Yun, so he did not have time to care about those trivial things.

"Sigh! This is indeed a world where the most powerful are respected," Zhan Feng said with a long sigh.

"Young Master, are you looking for me?" asked Zhan Yun in a low voice. She ran to Zhan Feng with a face full of excitement and impatience.

Zhan Feng smiled and asked, "Haha, what do you think? Are you happy to see those people flattering you?"

"Yes, a little bit... I have to be careful when I see them in daily life. Zhan Yun never thought that things will turn out this way. I can't even dream of it. It's all thanks to Young Master." Zhan Yun answered excitedly. She felt very relieved when she thought of the flattery of the housekeepers.

"En? Did I make you unhappy in the past?" Zhan Feng's face purposely turned cold as he asked.

"No, no, no, Young Master... Zhan Yun's life was saved by Madam. I would never dare to think that way."

Zhan Yun realized that she had said something wrong when she saw Zhan Feng's cold face. She hurriedly explained herself in horror.

"Haha, okay! Let's have a joke. Don't make such a fuss. Let's go out."

Seeing the terrified look on Zhan Yun's face, Zhan Feng felt very bored and explained with a smile.

"Yes, Young Master!" Zhan Yun answered in a low voice and stood by the side in a proper manner.

Zhan Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

###Chapter9,Wonton Zone

After Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun went out.

The master and servant walked along the wide streets of Red Sand City. Zhan Feng looked around curiously and discovered that there were shops on both sides of the street. There were actually over ninety-five percent that were established by the three major families! The shops that the families of the other cities had opened here were all under the protection of the three families, and the situation was not optimistic at all.

Zhan Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "No wonder the three families have remained in Red Sand City for so many years. They do have some ability and methods..."

In his second life, he was a successful businessman! He naturally knew that it was impossible for the three families to live in harmony. They must have been fighting against each other openly and secretly.

However, the three families also knew that they couldn't go too far! In external policies, the three families could only unite against the outside world. Otherwise, the result of the competition between the three families would only benefit those foreign companies for free. However, the foreign companies were not fools. They were even more shrewd than the three families and were able to see through the situation.

From now on, the situation of the foreign families was tough, but it could be seen that they were able to survive through the cracks of the three great clans.

Thinking of this, Zhan Feng gave a wry smile. "Mercyman! It's just like a group of cats. They will catch up with me if there's any smell of me. Their speed... Tsk, tsk..."

Along the way, Zhan Feng discovered that, as was written in the book, there were truly a lot of warriors in Red Sand City. He had only been out for a short period of time, and he had already discovered at least a few dozen of them. Among them, there were even a few who were at the same realm as 'Spirit Awakening Stage' experts!

However, Zhan Feng dared to say that the Spirit Awakening Stage was definitely not the strongest in Red Sand City. There was definitely an expert at the Creation Stage, Void-breaking Stage, and even Sky Piercing Stage. It was just that he didn't notice it.

"Zhan Yun, is there a place where you can forge weapons?" Zhan Feng suddenly turned around and asked.

He remembered that he didn't have suitable weapons in his life. This life was different from the first. At that time, he could refine flying swords. But now, he didn't have real fire or materials in his body.

"Even a clever woman can't cook without rice!" He had to borrow some worldly weapons first, and then refined them on his own after the seal in his mind was broken.

"Young Master, there is a house not far ahead, but..." Zhan Yun answered carefully. In the end, she hesitated as if she was considering whether to say it or not.

"Hmm? But what? Just say it! It doesn't matter if you're wrong." Zhan Feng smiled faintly and said.

In his heart, however, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. "The level of hierarchy in the entire Fiend Entrapment Continent is simply too strict. A single joke is enough to make her so afraid for so long. Alas!"

Hearing that Zhan Feng was not to blame, Zhan Yun calmed down and said, "Zhan Yun knows an 'refining master', who is better than all the other alchemists in the city."

Zhan Feng was stunned and suddenly understood, "It turns out that the person who can forge weapons on the demon-sealing continent is called 'refining master'. Does an alchemist have true fire in his or her body? How did Zhan Yun know this little girl?"

Seeing that her young master did not say a word, Zhan Yun became afraid, thinking that Zhan Feng was angry again. She hurriedly explained, "Young master, Zhan Yun didn't mean to hide it. A year ago, when Zhan Yun came out to play, she saw a poor old man lying on the street. I gave her some money, and then he gave me this thing to thank me, saying that this can make him do something..."

Then Zhan Yun took out a half-horse-like object from her arms. It had the same shape as a horse except that there was an extra horn on its head.

Zhan Feng took the item and waved his hand. "I'm not blaming you. What are you afraid of? By the way, how do you know that old man is an alchemist? And do you know where he lives now?"

"That old man told Zhan Yun that he was an alchemist and also told me where he lived. But he didn't allow me to take anyone else there," answered Zhan Yun in a low voice.
