1126 Suffocating Trap
Yu Huang sat up straight when she heard this. “That’s right! It’s the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!”
Yu Huang understood the whole thing after Sheng Xiao’s reminder.
Seeing the confused expressions of Donor, Yin Rong, and the others, Yu Huang explained, “Back then, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was rumored to be a clan of jinxes that would bring calamity to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. It was precisely because of this rumor that the Grand State Master was almost killed by his father the moment he was born.”
“Come to think of it, isn’t the Elve Clan’s matter and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s matter similar?”
Feng Yuncheng, Donor, and the others were shocked.
After thinking for a while, Feng Yuncheng said thoughtfully, “The reason the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has such rumors is that Senior Mo Jing’s death almost exterminated the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. The reason Senior Mo Jing died tragically is because of ‘it’!”
“It?” Beatrice asked in confusion. “Who are you talking about?”
Back then, in the Kunlun Mystic Realm, Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao, Kunlun, Donor, and Feng Yuncheng accidentally entered the illusion set up Mo Jing had left for them to save Estelle. Therefore, Beatrice and Yin Rong didn’t know the details of what happened in Mo Jing’s illusion setup.
Feng Yuncheng told Beatrice, “Back then, in order to save Estelle, we entered the Reincarnation Mirror and went to the illusory realm that Senior Mo Jing left for us. In it, we saw the truth of Senior Mo Jing and Senior Kunlun’s deaths. The reason they died was that a mysterious and powerful person appeared. Senior Kunlun and the others called him ‘it’.”
Nodding, Donor added, “Who is it, why did it kill the Divine Masters, and whether it’s still alive are all mysteries.”
“Speaking of the encounter of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and the Elve Clan, I suddenly thought of something else.” Sheng Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Huang. The tragic experiences of Yu Aofeng and Jing Huang in their previous lives flashed across his mind.
Sheng Xiao’s eyes were filled with sorrow. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “There was a ridiculous rumor on the Demon Beast Continent ten thousand years ago.”
Sensing that Sheng Xiao’s mood was off, Yu Huang looked up at him.
Yu Huang was stunned when she noticed that Sheng Xiao’s eyes were filled with sorrow. She could guess what rumors Sheng Xiao was talking about.
She said, “Are you referring to the fact that the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan and the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan are archenemies and that if a Prime Emperor powerhouse can successfully devour the Prime Emperor powerhouses of the enemy clan, he will be able to break through and become a Divine Master?”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao looked sad. “Yes.”
Yu Huang’s expression darkened.
To be honest, these three things were indeed similar.
If these rumors were all a part of its scheme, what was it plotting?
Yin Rong and the others knew about the rumors that the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan and the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan were archenemies. Hearing Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao’s conversation, Yin Rong said, “Are you suspecting that ‘it’ deliberately made up these rumors? Its goal is to make these superpowers fight amongst themselves and kill each other?”
When they heard Yin Rong’s analysis, everyone’s expressions became extremely solemn.
Sheng Xiao nodded. “It’s very likely.”
Yu Huang said, “Ever since the Divine Masters died, there has never been a Divine Master in this world. Even the War God Clan, which dominates the Cang Lang Continent, is nothing in comparison. No matter how strong the War God Clan is, can it be stronger than the Elve Clan and the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan of the ancient era?”
“If…” Yu Huang pressed the perfume pearl on her wrist tightly, and her pupils quivered as she said,” If ‘it’ makes a comeback, who in the three thousand worlds can be its match? Those who were feared by it have long been eliminated. ”
Yu Huang’s hypothesis stunned Yin Rong, Donor, and the others.
They suddenly felt breathless. The suffocating feeling was like a heavy rock pressing on their chests.
This wasn’t the end.
Sheng Xiao looked at the night sky outside the window as he muttered to himself, “Do you think the eye in the abyss rift is related to it?”
Hearing this, everyone felt even more suffocated.
Yu Huang’s fingers, which were fiddling with the perfume pearl, couldn’t help but tremble.
“Perhaps this is just our imagination.” Yu Huang gave Yin Rong and the others a comforting smile as she said, “Besides, we still have the Time Administration. They might have discovered the problem we can discover long ago. If this is true, they will definitely be able to think of a countermeasure.”
“We’re still thinking about how to enter the top 100 of the Central Continent Selection Competition.”
Knowing that Yu Huang was pretending to be calm to appease their uneasiness, Yin Rong and the others also laughed and pretended to be indifferent.
After that, on the way to Ice Blazing City, they remained silent.

“We’ve arrived at the destination, Ice Blazing City Station. Please take your luggage and prepare to alight. I wish you a pleasant trip and look forward to our next meeting.”
The staff’s announcement echoed in every train.
Yu Huang pulled up her sleeve and took off the perfume pearl necklace on her wrist. Then, she used it to tie her long black hair into a high ponytail. She stood up and gazed at the city built on the desert below as she said, “Our first battle is finally about to begin. Let’s go!”
“Okay!”

The Icy Blazing City was a capital city built on yellow sand.
This desert was desolate, but Ice Blazing City, which was built on the desert, was like a pearl embedded in this vast yellow land.
The architectural style of Ice River City was avant-garde and bold. It showed a sense of technological innovation and modernism. Ice Blazing City was even more magical. It wasn’t built on flat ground like the other capital cities. The entire city was built on the corpse of a giant snake that rose from the ground!
The snake towered into the sky. The entire capital was surrounded by the snake.
The houses were the densest where the snake’s tail circled.
Where the snake’s body was winding, the houses were relatively low and flat.
The building at the head of the snake was the most majestic.
From afar, the entire Ice Blazing City looked like a huge cobra!
Even when standing on the maglev train, Yu Huang and the others could only see the snake’s tail and body when they lowered their heads. They could only see the snake’s head clearly when they raised their heads.
When they saw this city, Yu Huang and the others were instantly shocked into speechlessness.
No one expected the Icy Blazing City to be so magnificent!
At this moment, a middle-aged man said in surprise, “This is Ice Blazing City, a dazzling pearl built on a Prime Emperor’s skeleton!”
Sheng Xiao and the others looked at him.
The man was standing very close to them and looking out the window at the giant snake city with admiration.
Sensing their gazes, the man turned to look at them.
Seeing that Sheng Xiao and the others were confused, as if they knew nothing about the history of Ice Blazing City, a look of contemplation flashed across his eyes and he asked, “Are you all ascendants who have just arrived in the Central Continent?”
He heard that the mayor, Jun Qing, had recruited seven ascenders from low-level small worlds but unlimited potential to join the Central Continent. Could it be these seven people in front of him?
However, he couldn’t tell if these seven people had unlimited potential or not for the time being.
However, he could tell that these fellows were quite good-looking.
When his gaze landed on the dark-skinned Night Elf, he added inwardly, “Besides this guy.”
