Chapter 1045

The group of six moved forward without flying. During this time, the Princess did not speak to Zi Chen, and the other four did not communicate with each other.

The group of six, walking on the ground, was very silent and very strange.

It seemed that she herself also felt this strange atmosphere. After walking for half an hour, the Princess said, "You will come with me later."

There were five people behind her, but the Princess only used the word "you". He did not know who she was talking to, but after seeing that the other four did not respond at all, Zi Chen guessed that she was talking to him.

He nodded, and then found that he was walking at the back, and it seemed that no one would pay attention to him, so he just nodded casually.

After that, there was another period of silence, but in the silence, whether it was the expressions of the four people or the Princess, there were some changes in them.

Zi Chen paused for a moment, and then remembered that his behavior just now was not very polite, so he added, "Where are we going?"

The four devils looked back at Zi Chen, and their expressions became more and more strange. As for the front, the Princess also paused for a moment. Normally, she would not explain, but for some reason today, she unexpectedly explained, "We are going to see some humans."

"See humans? Aren't humans and devils enemies?" Zi Chen asked again, and his face showed surprise.

"Yes, they are enemies. If you want to kill people later, you can kill them," the Princess said again.

The four guards behind the Princess had been with her for many years. They knew that the cold and noble Princess was usually not very talkative, and as for patiently explaining to others, they had never seen her.

But today, the Princess's attitude was really unexpected. Of course, even more unexpected was the guy named Mo Chen behind her. Just from his surname, it could be seen that he was just an ordinary devil.

But this guy did not even have the minimum respect for the Princess, as if the two of them were on equal footing. But his attitude did not arouse the Princess's dissatisfaction.

The princess was not displeased, but the four of them were. They all glared at Zi Chen fiercely. As the princess's guards, even if they had feelings for the princess, they had to hide it deep in their hearts. They could not show it in the slightest.

Therefore, when they looked at Zi Chen, there was only warning and no other emotions such as jealousy or anger.

Zi Chen also came to his senses after the warning. He recognized his identity and didn't say anything else.

After that, there was silence all the way.

In silence, the six of them advanced for another four hours. After six hours, the six of them had advanced over five hundred li. Normally, flying would only take a moment.

At the end of his line of sight, Zi Chen saw an ancient castle. The ancient castle was fiery red, and its architectural style was like a blazing flame. From a distance, the entire ancient castle looked like a burning ancient castle.

Zi Chen could guess the origin of such a stylish castle at a glance.

Only the Huo Clan, known as the Flame Controller, would have such a preference for fire.

The ancient castle was right in front of them, but the six of them had already walked ten-some li. This was a massive ancient castle. Just the walls of the castle were nearly one hundred meters tall.

Around the ancient castle, within a radius of five li, there was a no-fly zone.

The gate of the ancient castle was several dozen meters tall, and both of the gates were engraved with images of flames.

As if this wasn't their first time here, the four Demon Race experts' faces didn't change. When they reached the gate, it automatically opened.

The Princess took a step forward and then paused. Behind her, under the fierce gazes of the four Demon Race experts, Zi Chen hurriedly followed.

The gate behind them slammed shut, and Zi Chen felt like he had arrived in another world.

Up ahead was a flat red road, and the red stones were like flames. Deep within the ancient castle, there was not a single figure to be seen, and it seemed lifeless.

The Princess took a step forward and stepped on a red stone. A moment later, the red stone flashed with light.

As soon as this light appeared, it was like a chain reaction, and the other red stones lit up one after another.

Then, Zi Chen felt his vision blur, and he arrived in a world of flames.

"This is an illusion." Zi Chen looked at the Princess in front of him and whispered.

The Princess didn't speak this time, nor did she explain. She continued to walk forward, and with a single step, Zi Chen lost sight of her.

Zi Chen's pupils shrank, and he stood in place without moving. At this moment, his mind was spinning rapidly. First, he wondered if this was a trap set up specifically for him, but it obviously wasn't. If the other party had really recognized him, then they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to find an Earth Origin Realm Demon Race expert to kill him.

Moreover, he had already guessed that this was the ancient castle of the Huo Clan. The possibility of an illusion appearing as soon as he entered was very small. It was most likely to be a test.

After figuring this out, Zi Chen strode into the depths of the flames. During this time, he didn't use his Yin Yang Eyes, nor did he use his Demon Power, because once he used his Demon Power, he would be exposed.

"He's only in the middle stage of the Mortal Origin Realm, but the Princess is willing to bring him along. This is very strange."

"Indeed, the Princess has never talked to other demons before. She wouldn't even look at those geniuses. But today, she took the initiative to bring a strange man here."

Outside the ancient castle, the four demons finally couldn't understand.

One of them said, "He has a very strange aura. I think the Princess brought him along because of this."

"Strange aura, Si Xiu, you've been with the Princess the longest. Do you know something?"

The demon named Si Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's just a feeling. I can't describe it, but I feel that his aura is similar to that of the Princess."

"What? Similar to that of the Princess?" The other three's expressions changed.

"Could it be that he's a prince?"

Si Xiu smiled and said, "That's impossible. There are only so many princes, and every single one of them is protected by the demons. How could he be a prince? When I said similar aura, I meant the Demon Power. Maybe he's had some kind of adventure. The Demon Power in his body is extremely pure, almost comparable to that of the Princess and the Prince."

"According to what you said, his battle power is even stronger than ours."

"That's hard to say. After all, it's just my guess. As for whether he's extraordinary or not, we'll know when he comes out."

"Yes, there's a test before entering the ancient castle. If he can't even pass that, there's no need for him to come out. But if he can come out alive, it means that he's not weaker than us."

At this moment, Zi Chen was in the test they were talking about. However, it was different from when they passed the test. Zi Chen passed the test completely by relying on his perception and his powerful physical body. During this period, he didn't use any power.

The Princess had passed the test and arrived outside the sea of fire. There was a young man in a robe of flame standing there. When the young man saw the Princess come out, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "As expected of the Royal Princess. You actually passed through the sea of fire so quickly. You've once again broken our fastest record here."

The Princess glanced at the young man and said indifferently, "Huo Di, aren't you bored? You always use this kind of trick. Do you think you can trap me with this?"

Huo Di waved his hand and said, "Princess, you've really misunderstood me. This test was set during the inspection of the ancient castle. It was born with the ancient castle. I have no right to cancel it. Moreover, this is also a proof of strength. If you don't have the corresponding strength, you're not qualified to come here."

"Hey, where's your guard? Judging by the time, they should have come out." Huo Di was surprised.

The princess's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She said, "I have a new guard today."

"Oh."

Huo Di looked at the Princess and then at the sea of fire in front of them. He waved his sleeve and said, "Just wait for a while. I want to see what's so special about your guard."

A light image appeared in front of them. It was a sea of fire, and Zi Chen was standing in the middle of the sea of fire.

At this moment, Zi Chen's eyes were completely closed, and he didn't use any strength. Seeing this scene, Huo Di was surprised. The Princess' expression also changed when she saw Zi Chen pass through the sea of fire.

"He's completely relying on his perception and didn't use any strength. The sea of fire can't do anything to him. His body's strength is also not bad. If he can really walk out like this, it'll be very good."

Looking at Zi Chen in the sea of fire, Huo Di gave his evaluation.

The Princess didn't say anything, but she had already made up her mind. If he could really walk here without using any strength, then she would let him be her guard.

As for her background, the Princess didn't want to investigate because she was confident that she could suppress such a guard. Even if he was sent by someone with ulterior motives, she was not afraid.

"Why aren't you coming in? Do you have something to say?" At this moment, a voice rang out from inside.

A young man with a sword on his back walked out. When he saw the Princess and Huo Di looking ahead, he also subconsciously glanced ahead.

"Hmm, a very interesting demon. He's going to rely on his perception and strength to get through here."

"He's very interesting," Wang Di added.

"There really are quite a few hidden dragons and crouching tigers under the Princess. I'd like to see this guard. I just don't know how long he can last against me," said the young man with the sword on his back.

This time, no one answered him because Zi Chen had already reached the end of the sea of fire. As he stepped out, the sea of fire disappeared. Then, when Zi Chen opened his eyes, he saw three people in front of him. One was a spiritual body of the Huo clan, and the other was a spiritual body of the Sword Sect.

The fact that the two of them appeared together made him think of something. He secretly wondered if the Sword Sect and the Huo clan were in cahoots with the demons.

"Alright, let's go in quickly. Everyone's getting impatient from waiting," said the young man from the Sword Sect. He then turned around and walked into the castle.

"Princess, let's go." Huo Di extended his hand and gestured for the Princess to go first.

The Princess nodded and was the first to enter. Huo Di followed and walked side by side with the Princess.

Zi Chen stood outside, not knowing whether he should go in or out.
