.
As she was walking towards the castle, the visor of the helt she wore magically disappeared, revealing a beautiful feminine face, with slightly dark skin and a pair of ruby-red eyes.
Her face showed no obvious expression while she walked calmly.
It was as if she were in her world, isolated from the noisy surrounding environnt.
As she walked, Jing Xia's thoughts could not help but wander, as the face of an elven girl she had bought a little over three years ago ca to mind.
At that ti, she had participated in that auction by chance, intending to see if she could find sothing interesting.
Although she didn't appreciate the sale of slaves, she also understood their necessity.
Among the various bad uses that other demons might have for them, slaves, although considered at the bottom of the food chain in this place, were also a driving force for their army since many of the small tasks were done by them, and even on missions, they could be useful depending on the type of slave.
So were from races very skilled at detecting certain types of presences, others had infallible mories, and so who could command the elents to a certain extent, sothing their own race couldn't do because demonic Qi was the opposite of the source of these elents.
All these factors made slaves very useful in battle for demons, and consequently, it was normal to hold these slave auctions to see what they had to offer, to check if the fellow commanders from other squads had found good products or not.
It was at one of these auctions that she t the elven girl.
Back then, she saw no use for the girl either for herself or for her group in battle, so she almost ignored her.
But then her eyes t the elven girl's gaze. A shiver ran down her spine.
There was sothing in those eyes, sothing unbearably familiar. For a mont, the world around her went silent, leaving her alone with that face and a mory she thought was dead.
Was it pity? Was it guilt? She wasn't sure.
She had spent the last half of her life this way, surrounded only by battles and destruction.
At this point, anything else other than these two things didn't exist for her, but at that mont,
seeing that innocent, but at the sa ti familiar sparkle in the elf's eyes,
she couldn't resist, so she bought her.
She knew that if she ended up in the hands of soone from her race, it wouldn't necessarily be a good fate awaiting her.
That was also the first ti in a long while that she did sothing that seed pointless and would bring her no benefit,
and that was also the mont when she began to think that the world was not all black and Red.

Ethan had taken his ti to explore the information about the two demons, so he didn't overlook any detail regarding this city and the people who lived there.
From what he had discovered, the city was called the City of the Red Moon, a floating city that also served as a base for the legion of one of the Demon Kings of the demonic race.
At first, Ethan didn't know what a Demon King was and what it ant for this city to be a demonic stronghold.
After all, he could feel a great presence of the Void elent everywhere, which ant that this place was most likely so kind of dinsional rift.
And indeed, it had been discovered that it was.
This was one of the dinsional rifts of the demonic race that served as a bridge between their dinsion and all others.
Infact, the demons apparently weren't just a threat to the three heavens from which Ethan ca, but they were a threat to the entire universe.
Needless to say, the news was quite shocking for Ethan.
He had often discussed with Bai Yu whether there were other worlds beyond the celestial planes or not, and she said that the mortal plane was more like a step where all worlds that couldn't surpass a certain power level existed,
the so-called mortal worlds.
But unlike these, the celestial plane was a single, vast world, still unexplored in its entirety.
She told him that she didn't know if there were other similar worlds , like the situation with the mortal plane,
but it was assud that there were, even though, as far as she knew, no one had ever co into contact with them.
Needless to say, when it ca to the divine plane, things beca even more uncertain, as only a few beings had managed to ascend to that plane, and those beings were none other than the so-called deities of the celestial plane's inhabitants.
Ethan took things as they were because the arrangent of a world into planes was one of the most common things he ca across in the novels he read in his old world.
But it was precisely because he was from a different world that he had imagined the various planes of existence were not composed of just a single world.
And now, with the discovery of these demons who were a universal threat, it seed his assumption was correct.
As for the power system, demons had a hierarchy very similar to the military one from his past life, with so additions and modifications.
For example, the lowest rank wasn't that of a soldier, but rather a slave, and in this category, not only were those captured and exported from other worlds included, but also half-demons, like those who had been transford through demonic Qi, or through relations between demons and other races.
These people were considered slaves in the eyes of demons, slaves who were not only used for reproduction but also for use in battle.
The idea of reproduction seed strange to Ethan at first because although demons could be lustful, the fact that they paid attention to the reproduction of their race didn't seem normal, especially when considering that all pure demons were supposed to originate from the sa source.
Ethan later discovered that even the offspring of demons born from relations with other species had certain ranks among them, and depending on these ranks, the being born could be considered a slave, or one of their own race.
Ethan wasn't sure how exactly this worked, but personally, it didn't concern him.
What mattered to him, however, was the part about how this floating land contained various teleportation stations that allowed travel to other dinsions.
And for Ethan, who was currently stuck here, sothing like this was exactly what he needed to return.
