Chapter 1304 Southern Expedition King

After walking out of the Endless Forest, the man said respectfully, "Where are your attendants? We will treat you and your attendants well."

"What attendant?" Xiang Nan discovered that he had encountered another problem that he did not understand.

The man was even more curious. After he explained, the question was answered.

The Demon Slaying Cultivator used the power of heaven and earth to activate his martial skill, but there was a very serious problem with it, and that was, it was slow!

A martial artist first absorbed spiritual energy and tempered it into Astral Qi in his spiritual sea. When he used it, he would directly release it, and it would have an almost instant effect.

However, the Demon Slaying Realm couldn't do that. There was nothing stored in the divine soul, because the divine soul was just a combination of spiritual energy.

Therefore, when a Demon Slaying Cultivator fought, he needed to use his divine soul to summon the power of heaven and earth, condense the power of heaven and earth into his spiritual sea, and then temporarily temper it into Astral Qi before releasing it with a martial skill.

This process was extremely slow. Usually, when the Demon Slaying Cultivator was still summoning the power of heaven and earth, he was swallowed by the demon.

Therefore, every "successful" Devil Slaying Cultivator would have a large number of purely powerful martial artists as their attendants.

When fighting demons, these attendants would use giant shields that had been added with magic crystals to defend the Demon Slaying Realm and buy time. Then, the Demon Slaying Realm would unleash their martial skills to kill the demons.

Pills above the sixth grade and weapons above the profound grade all required magic crystals as their core. That made the Demon Slaying Cultivator extremely rich, extremely rich!

Some demon slaughterers loved face and even raised a thousand-man army of attendants.

Xiang Nan was really a little … unable to laugh or cry.

Forget it, it's not easy for people in this world to survive.

If it weren't for the fact that half a gourd had converted the Zhengyang Profound Technique and the Ghost Axe into the Sun God Technique, Xiang Nan would probably only be able to kill half a dozen demons after he encountered them. It would be very difficult for him to kill them.

The group of four boarded the flying demonic beast convoy and flew through the sky. Two days later, they arrived at the Southern Expedition Palace.

The Southern Expedition King's mansion was already comparable to the new Haoran Sect.

A martial artist usually wouldn't be full. He would build a house outside the sect, brew wine, sell snacks, and sell food. Even if he could, he wouldn't be in the mood to manage those things.

The Southern Conquest King had attracted a million civilians to live in Southern Conquest City at an attractive price, turning this place into an "incomparably prosperous" city.

Listening to the "astronomical figure" of one million civilians, Xiang Nan's heart did not fluctuate at all.

A bluestone city has nearly a million inhabitants.

"Look, did I scare you?" The man proudly pointed at the commoners below and said, "Our Southern Expedition City is famous for its prosperity. This kind of scene is very rare in other places."

"Indeed, it is very shocking." Xiang Nan said indifferently.

The eight-eyed snake said in Xiang Nan's heart, "Back then, how many people did I kill in the Eastern Region?"

Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "Probably tens of billions."

The serpent thought for a moment and said, "I suddenly feel a sense of guilt."

In the bustling Southern Expedition City, there are millions of civilians and 16 million martial artists …

All martial artists lived in their own sects and clans. It was very difficult to buy daily necessities in the city. Basically, there was a shortage of supplies.

Moreover, those "commoners" were treated very well. They wouldn't work all day long. Generally, when they were in a good mood, they would do something. When they were in a bad mood, they would directly close the door and go to sleep.

"Let's be prosperous." The man asked again.

"It's really bustling." Xiang Nan replied weakly.

Outside the Southern expedition palace, carriages, flying demonic beasts, and flying boats were already packed.

The entire manor was filled with a large number of martial artists, as if they were conducting a grand operation.

The man was the son of the Southern Expedition King, which surprised Xiang Nan. According to the man, the Southern Expedition King was already more than 500 years old, but his son was only about 40 years old.

It's still the same problem. There are too many martial artists here, and their average lifespan is too long. Unless it's a whim, they generally don't have offspring.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Nan pointed at the crowded entrance of the palace.

The man said, "In the past three months, my father has been anxious about the Great Devil Slaughterers of the Vastsea Dynasty. He is preparing for a great expedition to the Endless Forest!"

"Six months from now, it will be Emperor Canghai's 600th birthday. My father is going to present a batch of good-quality magic crystals as a birthday gift."

"That's why." Xiang Nan was thoughtful.

Since that was the case, then he could follow them directly into the Endless Forest. This was also a good thing.

The mansion was already busy, and the servants were busy entertaining guests.

Xiang Nan was accompanied by the Little Prince, so he naturally received a high standard of treatment. However, the food he ate and drank was indeed not refreshing.

The dishes here were also prepared by the martial artists themselves. Their cooking skills were too shallow, and it was already not bad to be able to eat their stomachs.

"Quick, Mr. Xiang, the Demon Slaying Convention is about to begin!" As the young prince, the moment he saw the banner hanging in the depths of the palace, his face immediately turned red. He said excitedly, "There are many devil slaughterers here. Let's hurry over and broaden our horizons."

Xiang Nan didn't care, so he followed him in.

The Demon Slaying Conference was held on the royal altar.

The altar was square, and there were seats on all sides, with the Southern Conquest King on the first seat.

The leading and respected Demon Slaughterers from the Vastsea Dynasty were all sitting proudly with their chins raised high, as if other than them, they were all untouchables under the heavens.

On the altar, there was a huge cage that contained a Purgatory level demon.

The level of this demon was not high, and its spiritual energy resistance was limited. However, its realm was very high, and it had already reached the Fortune Realm.

Obviously, this demon was supposed to be used to test his saber.

At this moment, the surrounding spectators were nervous and excited, waiting for the next procedure.

The little prince pulled Xiang Nan and rushed out of the crowd excitedly. He came to the altar and said excitedly, "Father, I have invited the youngest Demon Slayer in history!"

The Southern Expedition King had a country-shaped face, his nose and mouth were wide, his complexion was red, and he had an aura of self-prestige without anger.

On the other hand, the four personal bodyguards following the Southern expedition king were all late Divine Martial Great Late Stage experts. They had probably already stepped into the Martial Saint realm with half of their feet.

Even at such a high realm, those four guards were only servants.

On the contrary, those Good Fortune Realm and old Demon Slaying Cultivators who were almost unable to open their eyes were the high and mighty figures.

"Oh?" King Nanzheng's eyes lit up, "The youngest person in history?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Demon Slaying Cultivators opened their eyes and looked at Xiang Nan one by one.

The Southern Conquest King stared at Xiang Nan's face and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. This righteousness really has the demeanor of a devil slayer."

"May I ask this little hero what his cultivation realm is? Can he reach the Heaven Origin realm?"

Actually, this was just a polite question. When the Southern Expedition King asked, he already shook his head and laughed.

The high and mighty Demon Slaughterers also burst into laughter.

They were indeed quite shocked. Xiang Nan had reached the Divine Martial Realm at such a young age. This was extremely impressive.

However, they also judged from this that Xiang Nan was not a Devil Slaying Cultivator at all.

Who had seen a 20-year-old Fiendslayer at the Divine Martial Realm?

Xiang Nan didn't mind and whispered to the little prince, "Actually, a Divine Martial Stage martial artist's role should be greater than a Heaven Scryer martial artist, right?"

The little prince nodded, "That's true. That's why these highly respected devil slaughterers are especially precious."

Martial artists could also fight demons. Although their chances of winning were extremely low, at least a Divine Martial Realm martial artist was much more dangerous to demons than a Heaven Scryer martial artist.

Therefore, although there were many young people in the ranks of Demon Slaughterers, those young people were too low-level and hadn't "left the mountain" yet.

However, Xiang Nan suddenly felt a strange gaze condense on him.

He followed his gaze and saw the handsome man.

The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and nodded in greeting.
