Chapter 295 - 199: Only Hate That I’m Not Crazy Enough

It is a seven-story hexagonal iron tower, with six chains as thick as a human body. One end of each chain is connected to the eave of the tower’s peak, while the other end is firmly nailed to the ground with massive copper pillars. Both the iron tower and the chains are flickering with faint light patterns of talismans that repel demons. A restricting force is swirling around it, specifically targeting the demon creatures.

“This is the Lock Demon Tower!”

Following Feng Qing’an’s gaze, Xiao Yi answered very tacitly before he could ask.

Every first-time visitor to the Demon Nation is invariably awestruck by the sight of the Lock Demon Tower. It was a part of the display of the thousand-year-old heritage of the Xiao Family.

“Hehe, Mr. Feng, don’t be fooled by its grandiosity. I’ll have you know, the Xiao

Family only built this Lock Demon Tower one by one after opening up the

Demon Nation. They didn’t have such a contraption in the beginning!”

Yun Lin started revealing the Xiao Family’s secrets again, tossing out little-known information to Feng Qing’an for free. Xiao Yi shot him a glance but didn’t bother to react.

If revealing a touch of one’s strength lessens trouble, then it isn’t a bad thing. As long as the revealed strength is intimidating enough, it can scare off many potential problems.

Vice versa, if one tends to be too low-profile, others might think they could easily be manipulated, which could invite disaster.

Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger is an embarrassing affair, especially when the act is convincingly carried out that everyone takes you for a pig. Then even if you reveal yourself to be a tiger, no one would believe you anymore.

“Built one by one?”

Feng Qing’an picked up on the key detail, his eyebrows lightly raised. He gazed at the thirty-foot tall tower, noting that its construction materials were no ordinary metal.

The spiritual essence within was so intimidating that even Black Mountain next to him was taken aback. This was indeed a genuine Lock Demon Tower. Even a powerful demon captured inside would likely be at a disadvantage. “How many of these Lock Demon Towers exist?”

“To ensure all the demon creatures sent to the Demon Nation can’t escape, a Lock Demon Tower has been built at every human passage, combining the number of celestial strangulations!”

At this point, it wasn’t just Yun Lin spilling the beans. Xiao Yi took it upon himself to reveal their secrets. There were thirty-six Lock Demon Towers erected in the Demon Nation, each one corresponding to a passage connecting the outside world.

“The Lock Demon Tower! It prevents the demon creatures from escaping!”

After a few considerations, Feng Qing’an sensed something off.

The number of entrances and exits set up in the Demon Nation seemed too many. Built such many Lock Demon Towers, could it merely be a ploy to appease visitors indulging in debauchery, letting them vent their excess energy and desire on the demons here?

What a joke!

“The Demon Nation isn’t just a place for the visitor’s pleasure, is it?” Feng Qing’an turned to Xiao Yi.

“The Young Master is indeed brilliantly insightful. The top laureate in the upcoming Imperial Examination can be no one but you!”

“The examination hasn’t started yet, it’s too soon to tell. I’d be satisfied with attaining a mere scholarly title!”

“If the Young Master wishes, just like your brother, getting the Six Principalities is not impossible!”

“I know my own capabilities. Comparing literary talent, I am not even one-tenth as good as my brother. How could I get the Six Principalities? Now let’s talk about your Demon Nation!”

Listening to the somewhat profound conversation of the world’s young gentleman before him; seeing Yun Lin on the side seeming to take it for granted, Feng Qing’an furrowed his brows. He swiftly changed the subject back to the Demon Nation, as he was more interested in it than the Imperial examination.

Although the Demon Nation had one entrance situated in the pleasure districts, it was clear that allowing people to indulge in pleasures with the demon creatures was merely a ploy for income. It seemed that the Demon Nation served some more significant responsibilities within Da Jin.

“To the demon creatures residing here, calling it the Ten Thousand Demon prison would be more fitting!”

At this point, Yun Lin spoke up, answering Feng Qing’an’s question. But he was serious for less than one sentence before bursting into laughter,

“However, for us, whether it’s called the Demon Nation or Demon Prison makes no difference. We just come in for pleasure, we don’t get to see the real Demon Prison, we just roam around the upper layer!”

“The top layer?

“The Demon Nation has more than one layer, but I don’t know exactly how many. You’ll have to ask the root-and-branch Xiao gentleman here, he knows better!”

Yun Lin looked towards Xiao Yi, whose face had turned black again.

“I don’t know. Don’t ask me!”

By this point, Xiao Yi’s attitude was clear. If it was about something the Xiao family openly exhibited, he could answer. But, when it came to more intrinsic matters, he simply didn’t know.

“One layer for the Demon Nation and one for the Demon Prison? So there must be at least two layers!”

“Mr. Feng, you’re off by a bit. There must be at least three layers. They have one layer for the Xiao family residences too! Although there are also rumors of five layers, and even seven. The most outrageous claim is nine layers. But how many layers there actually are, only the direct line of the Xiao family would know! ”

Yun Lin was still trying to reveal the Xiao family secrets. However, when it came to the most basic matters, even he was clueless.

The Xiao family had never openly shown their entire blessed land, only allowing outsiders to speculate. They never confirmed anything, as they had already demonstrated their strength, so they did not feel the need to prove

anything else..
