Chapter 1329: Chapter 728 Immortal_2 Chapter 1329: Chapter 728 Immortal_2 However, just at that moment, the proud young demon suddenly called out to them, “Wait! You’re just going to leave like this? Do you think we, the Demon Clan nobles, would let you go so easily?”

Elder Talon Skyler’s heart tightened. He turned around, his gaze steadfast as he looked at the young demon, “My lord, we have done nothing wrong. Why won’t you let us go? We only want to spend a quiet night. Is there something wrong with that?”

The young demon sneered, “Ha, you’ve done nothing wrong? Then why won’t you face your own identity? Why won’t you admit that you are mixed-blood? In our world of the Demon Race, only pure bloodlines are a noble symbol. You mixed-bloods are only fit to be our slaves and servants!”

Upon hearing these words, Elder Talon Skyler felt a surge of anger. He knew that this racial discrimination and oppression were common in demon society, but he could not tolerate such insults and provocations. He took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm, “My lord, one’s bloodline cannot determine their value and dignity. Although we are of mixed heritage, we also have our pride and dignity. We will not bow our heads to anyone, nor will we accept any unjust treatment.”

The young demon, taken aback by Elder Talon Skyler’s firm rebuttal, flashed a hint of astonishment in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his arrogant demeanor, “Ha, no matter how eloquently you speak, it’s useless. In our Demon Race world, bloodline is everything. You mixed-bloods will never have a chance to turn the tables!”

Elder Talon Skyler said no more. He gave the young demon a deep look, then turned and led his companions away from the inn. Their figures gradually receded into the night, but their hearts were filled with resolve and belief. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges they faced, they would never give up their dignity and pursuit. The dispute with the Demon Clan nobles was just a small episode in their long journey.

Elder Talon Skyler felt a heaviness in his heart as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe. He knew that in this territory of the Demon Race, they, the mixed-bloods, would always face varying degrees of discrimination and exclusion. Every inch of this land, every wisp of air, was filled with prejudice and hostility against mixed-bloods. However, Elder Talon Skyler knew that now was not the time to act rashly; he must remain calm and look for the most appropriate strategy.

He took a deep breath, striving to make his voice sound calm and respectful, “My lords, we mean no offense, we’re just passing through and wish to rest here for a while. We have no ill intentions, nor will we cause any trouble for the lords. Please show mercy and let us pass.”

However, before Elder Talon Skyler could finish, he was interrupted by a much colder and firmer voice. It belonged to a seemingly leading demon soldier, a towering figure with bulging muscles, like a walking mountain. His expression was serious, his eyes radiated an unquestionable authority, and his tone as cold as winter frost, “Enough, under normal circumstances, I might turn a blind eye and let you insignificant characters scrounge here. But the situation is different now, a Lord Dragon has arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion. His strength is extraordinary, one of the best among us demons. His arrival signifies that our city will face stricter governance. At such a time, we can’t afford to be slack, we cannot allow any factors that might cause trouble.”

The leading demon soldier paused, his gaze cutting through Elder Talon Skyler and his group like a knife, as if trying to dissect their souls, “You all come with me. Don’t cause trouble here. Otherwise, once you anger Lord Dragon, the consequences will be unimaginable. By then, not even the City Lord could protect you.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler felt a pang of dread in his heart. He knew that the arrival of Lord Dragon had indeed brought a great uncertainty to their mission. Originally, they had only planned to make a brief stop at this station to replenish some supplies and then continue their journey. But now, it seemed that this plan was likely to fall through.

However, Elder Talon Skyler was not willing to give in so easily. He took a deep breath again, trying to seize a glimmer of hope, “Lord, we are really just passing by and harbor no malice. We are willing to cooperate with your inspection to prove our innocence. Please give us an opportunity to demonstrate our innocence.”

The leading Demon Soldier frowned slightly upon hearing this, seemingly weighing Elder Talon Skyler’s words. After a moment, he scoffed, “Prove your innocence? Do you think this is a joke? However, since you insist, I will give you one chance. But remember, you only have one chance. If you cannot satisfy me, you will bear the consequences!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal his soldiers to surround Elder Talon Skyler and his companions. Then, he began a thorough search of Elder Talon Skyler and his companions, not missing any detail and scrutinizing every corner. Elder Talon Skyler and his companions could only endure this humiliation and injustice in silence, silently praying they would safely get through this ordeal.

Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler couldn’t help but inwardly groan, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart. He knew that the arrival of Lord Dragon, like an unexpected storm, had thrown their carefully planned journey into chaos. Originally, they had planned to make a brief stop at this relatively secluded station to replenish some necessary supplies before continuing their secret and perilous journey. But now, with the appearance of Lord Dragon, the City Lord’s Mansion would undoubtedly become the focus of the entire Demon Clan territory, where any little movement could attract the attention of the Strong One. Once inside the City Lord’s Mansion, their identities and movements would probably no longer be hidden, like ice exposed to the blazing sun, constantly at risk of melting.

Elder Talon Skyler’s brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes flickered with complex emotions. He knew that every decision at this moment could affect the life and death of all of them. However, at this critical juncture, an unexpected and shocking situation suddenly occurred, breaking the original tense standoff.

In an atmosphere so tense it could almost wring out water, a wave of inexplicable fluctuation suddenly surged, as if every molecule in the air trembled at that moment. Following that, a figure appeared quietly before everyone like a ghost, without stirring a breeze or disturbing a leaf. This person was Elder Logan, a revered, unfathomably powerful Elder among the Demon Clan. His appearance, like a sudden breeze, instantly dispersed the surrounding oppression and tension, subtly changing the previously tense atmosphere.

Elder Logan’s face was calm and profound, seemingly able to see through the abyss of people’s hearts. His gaze swept over everyone and finally rested on Elder Talon Skyler. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted in a meaningful smile, “Talon Skyler, long time no see. It seems you’ve run into quite some trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He knew that Elder Logan’s arrival had undoubtedly brought them a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, “Elder Logan, your arrival is timely. We indeed encountered some trouble and hope you can lend a hand.”

Elder Logan gently waved his hand, signaling that Elder Talon Skyler need not be overly courteous, “No need for formalities. Since I am here, I naturally will not stand by idly. However, the trouble you’ve gotten into is no small matter, that Lord Dragon is not to be trifled with.”
