Chapter 750: You're A Devil

Chapter 750: You're A Devil

The City of Light was filled with light. It was exceedingly hard to even find a dark corner because the entire city was built from glass. On top of each building was a round pearl, intensifying the sunshine that filled the city’s every nook and corner with light.

According to the angel named Dreve Rose, the City of Light had a longer history than humanity. The only reason they even had any sort of relationship with the humans was due to the appearance of the Envoy of Light among the humans. Back then, this expert had contributed greatly to the angels, resulting in the opening of this city to humans.

Of course, the city wasn’t fully opened to all humanity. Rather, it was only opened for Dragon Phoenix Academy members. Other humans would have a much harder time coming here. One ought to know that the angels didn’t exactly have a pristine impression of humans—human craftiness and viciousness had once harmed the angels.

Because of that, the Dragon Phoenix Academy took great care in restricting the number and personality of anyone entering the City of Light. Otherwise, the angels would ignore all past agreements and sever their connection with humans.

Before coming, Xiang Shaoyun had already read the key information about the city. It was reminded again and again that one should never create trouble in the City of Light. The moment one angered the angels in any way, one would be forever banned from the city. And if one committed a serious crime, one might even be expelled from the academy or outright killed.

Thus, nobody dared to disobey the rules as the consequences were grave. Xiang Shaoyun had a rather pleasant interaction with Dreve Rose. She told him a lot about the local customs and the rules of living here.

Xiang Shaoyun would listen seriously, occasionally giving some humorous replies, causing Dreve Rose to giggle without stop. Under her guidance, he arrived at the Tower of Light, the city’s most important building. The tower was triangle-shaped, reaching the clouds high in the sky. Its entire body was bright and dazzling, looking incredibly grand and spectacular.

“Handsome Xiang, if you stand below the Tower of Light, your talent in the way of light will be displayed. Do you want to give it a try?” asked Dreve Rose. 

Xiang Shaoyun rejected, “I don’t think I should do it. This Tower of Light is so pure and holy. Mortals like me would not dare to stain it with my presence.”

“Don’t worry. A lot of humans have tested themselves at the Tower of Light. Humans with pure hearts will even be rewarded by our high priest. Even if you fail to get the reward, you won’t lose anything by trying, right?” Dreve Rose persuaded. 

After a slight hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun agreed, “Ok. I’ll give it a try.”

He guessed that this Tower of Light was probably the same as the Evaluation Stele, capable of scanning one’s physique. It wouldn’t be an issue for him to take a little test here. Thus, he strode toward the tower.

Standing before the tower, he could feel himself bathed in the power of light, giving him an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Swish! Swish!

Rays of light energy shot out of the tower and enveloped Xiang Shaoyun. When these rays converged on his body, his light star stirred and started absorbing the light energy in them. It was also at this moment that a radiant aura erupted from his body. It was as if he was going to fuse with the light energy around him.

Dreve Rose watched on with a smile on her face, clearly pleased about what was happening. Since Xiang Shaoyun could fuse with the tower’s power, it signified that his physique suited the cultivation of light.

But the next moment, panic covered her face. She retreated repeatedly, and as she pointed at Xiang Shaoyun, she shouted, “Y-You’re a devil! Men! Come! Seize this devil!” 

Xiang Shaoyun was still bathed in the power of light. Hearing Dreve Rose’s shout, he was completely confused. At this time, several angels flew out from different directions.

Their gazes focused on Xiang Shaoyun and saw a specter hovering above Xiang Shaoyun. The specter was akin to a Devil Emperor, swaying about in the air with its vicious features clear for all to see.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun sensed what was going on with himself. His Imperial Nether Clan bloodline had apparently been exposed by the Tower of Light. No matter how he tried, he couldn’t suppress it.

Shit! I need to retreat! Xiang Shaoyun cursed inwardly when he realized the truth. Without any hesitation, he used his footwork and dashed in a certain direction.

He recalled how the angels held a natural hostility against those with dark or devilish physiques. Now that the tower had exposed his devil bloodline, the angels would not spare him. They would most certainly purify him in a way they deemed necessary. He did not know what would happen to him then.

Xiang Shaoyun fled at top speed, his single step sending him far away. Even the angels failed to encircle him. He had to reach the teleportation formation as quickly as possible, or things would get troublesome.

Unfortunately, angels were everywhere in the City of Light. With their high unity, so long as one called for help, the others would quickly work together. Xiang Shaoyun was able to escape the first encirclement, but he couldn’t escape the others.

Hundreds of angels surrounded him, their wings spread wide as they blocked all routes of escape. These were angels of differing strengths. Some were weak and some were strong. Xiang Shaoyun could still try breaking free of them, but he knew that if he harmed them, he would be in even bigger trouble.

Thus, he kept trying to escape while withholding from attacking. However, the angels launched numerous beams of light, filling the sky with a bright radiance that forced Xiang Shaoyun to shut his eyes before forcefully restraining him.

This was one of the angel combination techniques. Even if Xiang Shaoyun was a Sovereign, he still wouldn’t be able to escape this easily. Restrained by that move, he couldn’t even move anymore. Thus, he gave up on resisting.

One of the angels stepped forth while muttering, “Dear gods, please purify this evil human.”

The angel started conducting an odd ceremony, and all the other angels started doing the same. Energies leaked out of their bodies and drifted toward the Tower of Light. Next, a four-winged angel flew out of the tower. He flew over and tied Xiang Shaoyun up with a radiant rope.

“As commanded by the high priest, take this devil to the Holy Land of Light for purification,” said the four-winged angel before dragging Xiang Shaoyun into the Tower of Light.
