According to their account, the Imperial Demons in this world faced a stifling reality, needing to design traps to breed with ape-like demons.

Given the capability to design traps for ape-like demons, it shouldn’t be inconceivable to expand their ingenuity to capture and kill other demons, should it?

“Relying solely on human strength?!”

The three were utterly shocked, not expecting Zhao Yu to utter such words.

“Lord, our survival as humans, our very existence, is entirely thanks to the Imperial Demons…”

They instinctively assumed Zhao Yu was a one of the Imperial Demon, thinking his statement was sarcastic, and hastily expressed their respect and affirmation for the Imperial Demons.

Zhao Yu frowned, stating bluntly, “I am not one of your so-called Imperial Demons; I am a purebred human, a pureblood human!”

“What?!”

The three were bewildered, not understanding.

“Please, my lord, don’t joke with us…”

To them, Zhao Yu’s ability to kill demons bare-handedly could only mean he was a Imperial Demon.

“Forget it, you’ll understand in time.”

Zhao Yu had no intention of further explaining, signaling them to lead the way to the Forbidden Border Town.

This conversation dispelled the previously relaxed atmosphere between them, making the rest of the journey tense and silent.

After nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the Forbidden Border Town.

A small town with five-meter-high walls, surrounded by some farmland, though there were no people, and only hardy crops were planted.

The city gate was small, merely a one-meter wide and two-meter high opening, clearly designed for defense against demon invasions.

Two guards stood at the gate, watching the group of four from afar.

Few ventured out of the town, mainly periodic farmers or herbalists.

“They’re carrying quite a bit this time, looks like we’ll get a share…”

One guard remarked with a sly smile.

Guarding the gate was a cushy job, with plenty of opportunities to take advantage.

“Wait, that one seems unmasked…”

The other guard noticed Zhao Yu behind the three.

“Is he a Imperial Demon?”

“Doesn’t seem like it…”

The Forbidden Border Town wasn’t large, with only a few Imperial Demons, all of whom were known, but Zhao Yu was a new face.

“Stop, who are you?!”

The two guards blocked Zhao Yu’s path.

“This honorable… lord comes from a distant place…”

The fox-masked woman quickly explained, “The demons we’re carrying were hunted by this lord…”

The guards initially suspected a commoner breaking the mask rule but seeing the demon meat on the herbalists’ backs changed their minds.

“Apologies, lord, we’re just doing routine checks!”

The guards bowed and apologized.

Zhao Yu noticed the guards also wore masks, though more menacing and imposing than the herbalists’.

“No problem, let’s enter.”

Zhao Yu said calmly.

He could tell the strict mask rule applied to ordinary people here.

Just then, someone inside the gate, hearing the commotion, came out.

“What’s going on?!”

A man with a furry face and snake-like narrow eyes appeared.

Scanning the scene, Zhao Yu realized this wasn’t a mask, but the man’s true appearance.

“Captain, this sir is an Imperial Demon from afar; he hunted these demons…”

A guard quickly explained.

“From afar?!”

The furry captain scrutinized Zhao Yu, his disdain visible as he saw Zhao Yu’s clean face.

With a superior tone, he asked, “Where are you from?!”

“From Chang’an!” Zhao Yu replied casually, avoiding trouble.

“Chang’an?!”

None had heard of this place, not even the furry captain.

He frowned, “Where is Chang’an, why haven’t I heard of it?!”

“In the distant east,” Zhao Yu said coolly.

The captain glanced at the demon meat on the herbalists’ backs, recognizing it as a formidable demon.

His expression softened, then he asked, “Are you alone? Where are the others in your team?”

“Just me.”

“Just you alone?!”

The captain was skeptical, finding it hard to believe anyone could travel such a distance alone.

“Then what’s your purpose here?” he asked.

“I have no purpose. I’m here to travel!”

” No motive?!”

Captain Fluffy Hair frowned, unsure if what Zhao Yu said was true.

He turned to the three herb gatherers and asked,” Are you sure he hunted this monster?!”

“Captain, we are certain that this was hunted by that lord…”

The three of them said in fear and trepidation. It was obvious that Captain Fluffy Hair had a lot of prestige in their hearts.

Captain Fluffy Hair glanced at Zhao Yu, seeing no anger in his expression, grew more suspicious and continued, “Tell me exactly what happened!”

The three of them then recounted their encounter with the demonic creature and how Zhao Yu had saved them.

“So, you’re saying that when you turned around, the demon was already dead?!”

“Yes!”

Captain Fluffy Hair looked at Zhao Yu, squinting, “Kid, you claim to be a Imperial Demon, so where are your demonic traits?”

“When did I ever say I was a Imperial Demon!” Zhao Yu replied calmly.

“Hmph!”

Captain Fluffy Hair snorted coldly, “So you’re not, daring to travel without a mask. Why are you two just standing there? Capture him!”

The three herbalists beside them were stunned. They hadn’t expected Zhao Yu to outright deny being a Imperial Demon. Could it be that someone else had saved them earlier?

The two guards, upon hearing this, became furious, realizing they’d been fooled by an ordinary person.

“I knew there was something off about your clean appearance. Turns out you’re just a regular guy, daring to mess with us without a mask…”

The two guards grinned malevolently and charged at Zhao Yu with their weapons.

“Disgusting!”

Zhao Yu shook his head, raised his hand, and sent an energy blasting out, sending the two guards flying.

Then, he pointed at Captain Fluffy Hair.

“Boom!”

Captain Fluffy Hair was sent flying as well.

In an instant, all three were incapacitated.

Zhao Yu had controlled his strength, otherwise, with his peak third-tier power, he could have easily killed them with a single finger.

However, being new here, he saw no need to stir up trouble.

“How is this possible?!”

Captain Fluffy Hair lay on the ground, eyes full of shock.

“What did you do?!”

He struggled to lift his head, looking at Zhao Yu in utter disbelief, his voice trembling.

“As humans, faced with demonic invasions, instead of thinking about how to resist, you forsake your humanity and choose to become hybrids…”

Zhao Yu shook his head, “Not only that, but from what I see, you even consider pureblood humans a disgrace and hybrid demons a source of pride. Truly hopeless!”

“Hybrid demons… How dare you say that!”

Although Captain Fluffy Hair lay on the ground, Zhao Yu’s words enraged him, “I refuse to believe you’re just an ordinary person. You must also be an Imperial Demon…”

“Heh, would I need to lie to you about something like that?”

Zhao Yu said calmly, “The powerful demons you speak of are weak and pathetic to me…”

He shook his head again, feeling it pointless to continue the conversation with them.

So, he decided to head directly into the city to see what was happening there.

Seeing Zhao Yu about to enter the city, Captain Fluffy Hair was both shocked and angry, shouting at the three herbalists, “Go sound the alarm…”

“Us?!”

The three were panicked. How could they handle something like this?

“Go now, or you’ll be punished!”

Hearing this, the three didn’t hesitate any longer. They rushed through the city gate and quickly sounded the alarm.

The small border town wasn’t large, and the area could be scanned visually, allowing Zhao Yu to quickly grasp the situation within.

The city center was undoubtedly where the noble Imperial Demon resided, while the outer areas were populated by ordinary humans.

And the strongest Imperial Demon among them, were only at the peak of the first tier, vastly inferior to Zhao Yu.

In this place, he was virtually invincible.

The fact that this small town could exist here indicated that the surrounding demons were also weak, merely first-tier.

Of course, he would need to explore other places to see if the monsters, demons and Imperial Demon were more powerful compare to here.
