Gate of God

Chapter 478: Purple Demonic Eye

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

...

The Blood Shadow City was aptly named. It was given this name because of its layout and infrastructure.

Ordinarily, a city would have four gates, one in each direction. Each one would be linked by walls that allowed for better defense.

However, the Blood Shadow City was an exception.

This was a fortress. It should only be viewed from a distance. Anyone foreign and close to it would likely die.

Yet...

There was a youth standing on the walls of the Blood Shadow City. He seemed out of place, looking around in his blue long sleeved shirt.

He was clearly in awe.

To be honest, anyone who could see such an ancient city would be in awe. This ancient fortress covered the entire mountain.

Circular...

A circular wall at the foot of the mountain was the first layer of protection. It surrounded the entire city.

One mile in was another circular wall. However, this wall was more than two meters higher than the one on the perimeter.

The wall was as high as a tree.

But that was not all...

Layers of circular walls continued to surround the city, each one spaced one mile apart. Every layer was two meters higher than the previous one.

"Grand!" The youth looked at the layers of walls behind him and gasped in admiration.

It was no wonder it was known as the Blood Shadow City.

The youth looked at the red flags in the middle of the trees. He really felt like he was surrounded by a sea of red.

Of course, the grandest thing was the ’scar’ that he was standing on...

This was a scar that extended from the outermost wall all the way to the center.

The youth was slightly confused as he looked at the scar.

It had clearly been repaired, but...

It seemed to have been done rather half-heartedly. It was not difficult to fully repair the cracks...

Yet, the crack was still visible.

It was extremely attention-grabbing.

"I guess it’s a warning to the younger generations..." The youth thought to himself. He could confirm a few things.

First, the Blood Shadow City is built on a mountain. It was not a tall one, but it covered a great amount of space. There were four gates at the outermost wall.

The second layer also had four gates.

However...

They were not aligned with the gates at the first wall. This greatly increased the time required for people to walk into the city.

It was extremely inconvenient.

However, it made for great defense!

There were only two ways this place was defended. First, the people entering could be separated by race. Every race would face different rules when entering the city.

Of course, they could also be separated by castes.

The second possibility was that there were magical formations embedded within the walls.

It could even be a combination of the two.

This would make entry extremely difficult. Not only did you have to follow the ’rules’, you had to get past all the guards.

It was no wonder...

The easiest way was to just split the entire city. It would take ages to gain entry via conventional methods.

More importantly, one would find it even more difficult to get out than to get in.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a voice behind him. This voice was filled with shock.

"Freeze, turn around slowly!"

The demon soldiers on guard duty at the perimeter walls were completely shocked to see a youth standing on the wall, admiring the scenery.

Which rural clan was this person from? Is he here to visit?

Doesn’t he know the rules of the Blood Shadow City?

The demon soldier gripped his spear tightly. He didn’t strike immediately because this person seemed too relaxed, almost as if he was at home here on the wall.

This caused him to take extra precaution.

At that moment, the youth turned around, his lips twitching in displeasure.

The demon soldier loosened his grip on the spear.

He saw that there was a glittering demonic eye on the youth’s forehead. That meant that this youth was definitely a demon.

However...

His demonic eye was weird.

Hang on...

Purple... purple demonic eye?!

The soldier was stunned. He had been stationed here for decades and seen many strange things.

However, he never felt like vomiting blood as much as he did today.

"Spy, spy! Catch... catch the intruder!" The demon soldier stammered. He didn’t feel any satisfaction when he recognized this youth as an intruder.

After all, there was no such thing as a purple demonic eye.

As such, this intruder...

Was plain dumb!

That was the first thought that flashed through his mind. Then, he felt the world spinning, almost as if he had been knocked in the back of the head.

He turned around and saw a figure standing behind him.

This was a man in black clothes. His jaw was sharp and he had a demonic eye on his forehead, a red one.

Most importantly, he held a black metal pole in his hand.

"How dare this guy... impersonate a Rebirth State..." The demon soldier was furious, but he crumpled to the ground as the world around him turned black.

"Ah Jiu, what’s the count?" The youth shook his head as he turned away from the demon soldier frothing at the mouth.

"Master, he is the third one today. We are left with the Northern Gate, do you want to continue?" The servant replied.

As a lowly servant...

Su Jiu had enjoyed life the past two years. He had gone from Huai An County all the way to the River of Trust Province.

Right now...

He was following his master to enjoy the ’scenery’.

He also painted a red demonic eye on his forehead to try to blend in.

"I’ve seen most of the things outside. It is time for us to go inside." The youth took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.

"Okay." Su Jiu nodded, unsurprised by the youth’s words. His lips twitched, almost as though he wanted to say something.

"What else is there?" The youth spotted this.

"Master, are you going to continue sporting the purple demonic eye? As far as I know, there is no purple demonic eye amongst the demons..."

"Do you think that the color is a problem?"

"No... not at all!"

"I didn’t think so. Don’t you think that this color is more noticeable than others?" The youth nodded.

"Yes, indeed... it is attention-grabbing..." Su Jiu nodded as his mouth twitched. He didn’t dare to finish his sentence.

Attention-grabbing!

Everywhere they went, they would be recognized as spies and intruders! This was the Blood Shadow City!

Shouldn’t they be keeping a low profile?!

"Okay then, let’s go inside and have a look." The youth began his descent, using a wooden ladder that was pre-positioned.

"Yes, master!" Su Jiu followed behind the youth.

...

...

Bai Xing didn’t think that he would be able to lead a proper life after the war. However, there was nothing out of the ordinary ever since he returned.

He was still the Domain Chief of the Star Domain.

Furthermore, Yun Qingwu had given him a few more deputies to command.

Bai Xing was initially unsettled by this, but after a year, his position as Domain Chief was still secure.

Yun Qingwu was still herself and Bai Xing was still himself.

As one of the Domain Chiefs, his standing amongst the demons was naturally high. The demons had kept a relatively low profile after the war.

Other than the usual military exercises, Bai Xing spent most of his time in his residence, enjoying music whilst practicing his techniques and researching formations.

He was not relaxed...

But it was a stable and regular life.

However, this routine had just been broken in the strangest of fashions.

The person who broke this year-long routine was a youth.

This was a youth in a blue long-sleeved shirt. Bai Xing was familiar with this shirt, and he even dreamt about it sometimes.

However...

He never expected that this youth would show up on his doorstep, especially not in broad daylight.

How was this possible?

Bai Xing couldn’t figure it out.

Was the Blood Shadow City breached?

If it hadn’t, how did this youth manage to walk into his residence in broad daylight?!

His residence was located within the third layer of walls in the Blood Shadow City.

The only reason why he was so far out was that he had to train with the demon soldiers frequently

Even so...

It should not be so easily accessed by an outsider.

Most importantly, this fella had a demonic eye on his forehead. This demonic eye was purple.

What the hell?!

Bai Xing thought that he was facing a ghost. He knew that this youth had been under the radar for the past year.

It was almost as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

How could a youth who had disappeared for over a year appear in his residence all of a sudden? Furthermore, what was with the purple demonic eye?

Bai Xing rubbed his eyes...

When he opened them, he realized that the youth was still standing in the same position as before. To make things worse, the youth was smiling radiantly at him.

"Fang Zhengzhi?!" Bai Xing was rarely shocker. However, he could not hide his shock when he saw this youth.

"Mm, it’s me." The youth nodded calmly.

"You... why are you in the Blood Shadow City? And why are you in my residence?" Bai Xing knew that his questions were dumb...

When a human entered his residence, he should have gathered his guards and captured this man.

However...

He didn’t do so...

He was still curious about what had happened to Fang Zhengzhi over the past year.

Even though it was a dangerous choice...

He decided to spare some time to talk to Fang Zhengzhi.

"Would you believe me if I said I came here to admire the scenery?" Fang Zhengzhi chuckled as he found himself a seat.

"Admire the scenery? Here at the Blood Shadow City?" Bai Xing’s eyes glimmered but he forced himself to calm down.

"I had wanted to make my way to the center of the Blood Shadow City. However, when I saw the sign reading "Bai Residence" on your doorstep, I couldn’t help but stop. Could it be Domain Chief Bai? As such, I decided to come in and take a look. It is you!" Fang Zhengzhi replied.

"I see." Bai Xing nodded and squinted. He could tell that Fang Zhengzhi had entered through the main door.

However...

How did this fella do it? Were all his guards blind? Could they not see the purple demonic eye on his forehead?
