Chapter 356 How Arrogant!

As I entered the city, the noise around me not only did not decrease, but continued to grow. Some of the literati here wore strange clothes, as if they did not belong to this era.

"Could there really be an underground city here?"

Li Xunfeng suddenly felt that this scene was quite terrifying. After all, he had just experienced life and death, but now he had come to a completely different world, as if it were a new world.

"This is not an underground city. These scholars seem to be ghosts, which are equivalent to maintaining the fortune of this Sage City. When this city was attacked, it was probably because the power of the Sage Path was too great, which is why the scholars here did not die, but their images were preserved, just like what we see now."

Ye Ling thought for a moment, and it seemed that she had seen it in some ancient book before, and then slowly explained it to everyone.

"Then are all these literati's actions now just illusions?"

Ye Ru looked at the passersby and felt the wonder of nature. He then reached out to touch someone, but his hand passed right through that person's body.

“That’s fine too. This is just a record of a period of prosperity during their lives. Every city of sages has a main hall. Let’s go inside first.”

Ye Ling nodded, then pointed to a building in the city and said.

"it is good."

Afterwards, the group walked towards the main hall. The hall was extremely spacious, and there were four seats at the front, but there were many figures present. These scholars all exuded a strong aura and were clearly the pride of their respective countries.

There were even some people here with two horns on their heads, or with a demonic aura.

Clearly, there are also demons, monsters, and dragons here.

At the first seat was a man dressed in black. A slight smile played on his lips, but his eyes flashed with a chilling intensity.

To his left, on the demon side, was a man in white robes. This man was also protected by demonic energy and possessed considerable demonic power.

However, it is worth mentioning that although there are more humans here, the main positions are all occupied by the demon, monster, and dragon races.

"Brother Ye, are you alright?"

As Ye Ru was observing the area, a voice rang out, and he immediately turned his head to look, where a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Brother Guanhai."

Before him stood Guan Hai, a student of the Half-Saint Guan Yu. He stepped out from the crowd, bowed to Ye Ru, and Ye Ru smiled in return, then said:

"What is everyone doing gathered here? And it seems that our human race is not in as good a situation as we thought."

"Don't even mention it. This is the lifeline of this city. Generally speaking, the treasures of the Great Sage are mainly located here, and the better the location, the more treasures will appear. However, the demon and monster races are united, and the dragon race is neutral, but they are powerful. Even the demon and monster races dare not act recklessly. We humans can only be bullied here. Although we are numerous and powerful, no one wants to be the first to stand up. There are a few people who want to compete for that seat, but they lost. Otherwise, how could they sit in such a good position so easily?"

Brother Guanhai shook his head, looking disappointed. The human race's cohesion was really too poor, and they were extremely prone to internal strife. If the scholars of the ten kingdoms united, their iron cavalry would probably have already crushed the demon race.

"So that's it..."

"I didn't expect Ye Ru to come too."

In a corner, Meng Yun and his three companions saw Ye Ru, paused for a moment, and then whispered something.

Ye Ru naturally saw Meng Yun as well, but since the latter was from Yuzhang Academy and not on the same path as him, he didn't need to bother with him.

"I, a human, can give you another chance. Fight me. If you win, you can have the first place. But if you lose, you humans should turn your backs and never let me see you on the Holy Road again."

At this moment, the demon leader in the first seat chuckled softly, his words filled with sarcasm, and turned to the human camp, speaking in a low voice.

"Brother Xue, the human race is regressing more and more, and they are no match for you at all. Aren't you just bullying them by doing this?"

The demon youth couldn't help but sneer, then looked towards Ye Ru:

"You'd better leave quickly, don't embarrass yourselves here."

After he finished speaking, the demons and monsters burst into laughter.

"Does your human race have a man named Ye Ru? I've heard he's quite talented, and many in our demon race are terrified of him. You can invite him over, and I'll have a go at him."

Yao Xue stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Guan Hai and the others with extreme arrogance, and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru narrowed his eyes, preparing to make a move, but was stopped by Guan Hai:

"Brother Ye, be careful not to fall for his provocation."

"It's alright. Even the Demon Saint couldn't kill me. How could a junior of the demon race let me suffer? The human race has fallen to such a state today because no one dares to take the lead. Since no one is willing to be the first, I am willing to be the first."

Ye Ru smiled at him, then said coldly:

"No need to learn, I'm right here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy atmosphere around them immediately quieted down, and all sorts of gazes turned towards Ye Ru's direction.

Upon hearing this, Yao Xue's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes held a faint hint of disdain.

He also wanted to see just who Ye Ru, who had stirred up the demon race, really was.

The demons and dragons also raised their heads, looking at Ye Ru who had come out with a mocking expression.

Ye Ru is quite bold, but he's arrogant and ignorant. Doesn't he know that Yao Xue is one of the top geniuses of the demon race?

"Those who are ignorant of their own limitations will die by their own hand sooner or later."

Han Fengxian was also in the crowd. When he saw that Ye Ru was not dead, he was surprised, but not too upset. After all, with the Half-Saint around, Ye Ru was definitely not going to die.

"I'm quite interested in your number one spot, but I wonder if you could reluctantly give it up?"

Ye Ru took two steps, then stood up, and finally raised his head, looking at Yao Xue with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Oh? You want my number one spot? Well, that'll have to see if you have the ability to take it."

"Lord Yaoxue, this boy is too arrogant. Why don't I fight him first and dampen his arrogance?"

At this moment, a member of the demon race stepped forward and stood beside Ye Ru with a malicious expression.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru chuckled lightly, then his gaze turned cold. He beckoned to the man with his outstretched hand, and his words caused an uproar among those present:

"roll!"
