Chapter 1016 Reputation as Having No Sense of Direction

“All right!”

Ding Hao could only look up at the sky and did not know what to say.

He became more and more curious about the Great Phoenix Saint. “Where does this mysterious expert come from? Why did she carry out such policies in her own territory? That’s simply not in line with the image of a greatly experienced master who has been cultivating for thousands of years.”

As they talked, Demon King with Magical Eyes came over and said respectfully, “Your Highness, Phoenix City, the Holy City, is right ahead of us.”

When they came back, they took the snatched black ship of the God’s Palace, which was extremely fast as if it was shuttling through space.

Ding Hao looked down and saw a towering square city in his sight.

Under the sunlight, the towering tall buildings reflected silver light. It was like a shining forest. Each building was more than 50 meters high. Although Ding Hao had prepared himself, he was shocked again when he saw the shapes of these tall buildings.

They were obviously modern skyscraper buildings. The materials on the surface similar to glass should be some kind of crystal, which was many times stronger than glass. There were demonic streaks on those buildings, but at the same time, they appeared transparent and bright.

As the black ship of the God’s Palace slowly descended, Ding Hao was shocked to the extreme.

What did he see?

He actually saw something similar to traffic lights in the city. There were spacious streets, with garbage cans to be found every one kilometer, and there were also public toilets.

“Damn, is the Great Phoenix Saint a time-traveler?” Ding Hao gritted his teeth and guessed.

Everything in front of him was really incredible.

There was a transparent protective cover flickering like water in the sky above the True Phoenix City. When the black ship was landing, the ripples swirled and a kilometer-long crack was opened. After the ship landed, the crack closed up again.

The ship finally stopped at a huge square in the city.

The elite True Phoenix Guards of the Immortal Phoenix Palace had been waiting here for quite some time. They were all extremely powerful experts of the Demon Clan. The weakest ones were above the Demon Saint level. They wore golden helmets and armors, and their aura was vigorous. It was like an army of gods. There were only a hundred of them, but it was like a troop of a thousand.

As Ding Hao walked down the ladder of the black ship, he was even more surprised.

The strength of the Immortal Phoenix Palace was truly stunning.

Just these one hundred True Phoenix Guards were a powerful force that couldn’t be overlooked.

Although Ding Hao couldn’t tell which Demon Clan they were from, they were all handsome men and beautiful women. The Divine Senses of the Mind Essential made Ding Hao a little aware that the Demon Aura of these True Phoenix Guards was not stable. It was obvious that they were the experts at the Saint level who had been cultivated with secret methods in recent years.

The Great Phoenix Saint’s methods were shocking.

Ding Hao’s eyes swept through the crowd. He frowned slightly and said, “Where is Jieyu? Why didn’t she come pick me up?” Ding Hao believed that if Xie Jieyu knew that he was here, she would definitely come out to meet him right away, but now she hadn’t shown up. It was a little strange.

Demon King with Magical Eyes hurriedly explained, “Water Province in the south was attacked by the Divine Grace Mercenary. Holy Goddess has led the True Phoenix Army to support them. She has already known the news of your arrival. I guess she will be able to get back by tonight.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Ding Hao nodded.

As they talked, a burly young man from the Demon Clan walked out of the True Phoenix Guard’s camp and said with a smile, “Your Highness, after we parted that year, you have become famous all over the world. Who wouldn’t know you now?”

It was none other than the former Golden Eagle Demon King.

Back when the One-legged Ox King and the Demon King with Magical Eyes made a scene on the shore of Mirror Lake and were trapped under the Demon-killing Cover of Mysterious Frost, it was the Golden Eagle Demon King, who was ranked first among the top ten Demon Kings, broke the cover and rescued them. In the end, he even killed Zhuo Feifan, the Mysterious Frost Inspector with a phoenix feather.

This was the first time that Ding Hao saw the Golden Eagle Demon King.

It was also the last time he did that.

“Should I call you Golden Eagle Demon King? Or should I call you Golden Eagle Demon Sage?” Ding Hao said with a smile because he could see that the ancient bloodline in the Golden Eagle had been fully activated, and its purity was many times higher than before. He had a real ancient constitution of Thorned Golden Crown Eagle. The Demonic Qi in his body was overwhelming, and he was already in the realm of a high-level Demon Saint.

“Your Highness, you flatter me. The former ten Demon Kings still have their titles in the territory of the Immortal Phoenix Palace. Everyone here is named after the given title from the Great Saint.” The Golden Eagle Demon King bowed respectfully with a smile on his face and said, “Your Highness, the Great Saint hasn’t finished her closed-door meditation. She ordered me to meet you here. Your Highness, please come with me first. Everything has been arranged. When the Holy Goddess returns, the Great Saint will definitely receive you as soon as she comes out of seclusion.”

“Hasn’t the Great Phoenix Saint come out of seclusion yet?”

Ding Hao was slightly stunned. He remembered that her incarnation had crushed the army of God’s Palace. Her magical power was shocking, but he didn’t expect that she was in seclusion.

“Will it be okay if I go to the downtown area to have a look?” Ding Hao said with a smile.

The Golden Eagle Demon King hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, “Of course, you can do that. The Great Saint has already issued an order to allow you to roam around True Phoenix City as you please. However, I heard that you would often lose your way. Why don’t you have the Demon King with Magical Eyes and One-legged Ox King with you on your tour? What do you think?”

Ding Hao’s forehead was covered with sweat. He didn’t expect that his reputation as having no sense of direction would be spread here.

“Well, thank you very much,” Ding Hao said with a smile.

After a simple exchange, the Golden Eagle Demon King was busy with all kinds of affairs in the city. He had to arrange a banquet for Ding Hao, so he left first. The Demon King with Magical Eyes and the One-legged Ox King accompanied Ding Hao to wander in the True Phoenix City.

...

When the sun was about to set, Ding Hao sat on a chair beside a colorful fountain on the street. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Su Qing and the other four disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were also shocked.

Logically speaking, they were from a famous sect like the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and had been to beautiful places like the Mountain Gate of Fortune of the Land of Divine Grace. They had long broadened their horizons. Even the giant cities of the super sects such as the Blue Cloud Sect, Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, and River Palace in the Northern Region could no longer shock them again.

However, everything that they saw in True Phoenix City was simply too incredible.

Su Qing and the others didn’t expect that there would be so many strange designs in this world. What they saw and heard in the whole city made them feel as if they had come to another world. There were wide and well-organized streets, demon power control systems, traffic light access systems, demonic streaked transmission ladders, demonic streaked illumination systems...

These strange and unique things appeared to be children’s toys. However, they also had an effect that the team of people could not understand. The entire True Phoenix City was orderly as though it was a city that could talk.

“I’ve never seen such a clean and bright city. I feel very comfortable here.” Su Qing smiled and sighed, “To be honest, I really envy the demons here.”

“Haha, we spent three years building this True Phoenix City with the strength of tens of millions of demons,” One Legged Ox Demon King proudly said, “I can guarantee that in the entire Northern Region... no, even in the entire Land of Infinity, no one can find another city that is comparable to the True Phoenix City.”

Ding Hao nodded as he had to admit that this was true.

In fact, during the occasional intervals when he was traveling for cultivation and fighting, he had also thought about these things. He used some memories he had when he was on Earth in his previous life to transform a brand new mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. But he was so busy that he didn’t even have time to catch a breath, so he didn’t have time and energy to do the things he had planned.

But now, his imagination was almost perfectly realized by a mysterious expert in the territory of the Demon Clan, which countless people thought was a barren land.

What kind of mystery did the Great Phoenix Great Saint have?

While Ding Hao was wondering, a True Phoenix Guard came to report that the welcoming evening banquet had been arranged.

Ding Hao was delighted.

Coincidentally, he should be able to meet the mysterious supreme master of the Demon Clan at the banquet. He might be able to find some clues. He was a little expectant. Could it be that the Great Phoenix Saint was really a time traveler?

Led by the True Phoenix Guard, Ding Hao and the others walked toward the core divine hall in the True Phoenix City.

Su Qing was a woman after all and had a keen mind. She had noticed that Ding Hao’s expression was strange. She didn’t know if it was good or bad. At the moment, she didn’t say anything but secretly transmitted a voice message to the other four martial brothers, asking them to be on guard.

...

...

“Let me go. Who are you? Let me go...” Hua Mojian roared angrily, but there was a fire dragon as thick as a finger on his body. It was like an immortal-trapping rope, tying him up, making him unable to exert his strength at all.

Huo Jun looked at him with a smile and did not speak.

Although he was seriously injured in the fight with the Great Phoenix Saint, he was still a God Realm Master. It was a piece of cake for him to capture a junior like Hua Mojian. Even Gu Xing’er was controlled by him.

“Sir, why are you pressing him?” Gu Xing’er calmed herself down and asked.

Huo Jun laughed and said, “It’s not bad to be loyal to his sect, but it’s too stupid. This kid has the physique of the Southern Underworld Ignis. Those people of the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect don’t know anything about anything. They don’t know how to teach him properly and it’s a waste of resources. If he takes me as his master, I can teach him the way to really activate the bloodline power and stimulate his ancient bloodline. At that time, it won’t be a problem for him to reach the God Realm. If he is lucky enough, his achievements will be more than achieving the God Realm in the future... Hahaha, this matter is of great importance. It has something to do with my Taoist technique. He has no way but to agree on my proposal today.”

“Let me go, you monster. I don’t want to be your disciple. Let me go...” Hua Mojian was a teenager. If Huo Jun had persuaded him nicely, he might think about it. But now, if Huo Jun had pressured him, his stubbornness had been aroused, and he would not agree no matter what.

The fire dragon rope on his ribs was getting tighter and tighter, and it seemed to be going into his muscles. Hua Mojian only felt as if endless flames were pouring into his body, and his internal organs were about to burn.

Huo Jun smiled and said, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll kill this little girl.”

He was referring to Gu Xing’er.

“How dare you... you old thing!” Hua Mojian was furious.

Huo Jun stretched out his hand and pointed. A fire dragon appeared above Gu Xing’er’s head. As long as it fell slightly, it would burn the beautiful girl into ashes.

“Stop, you... I... Don’t kill Senior Xing’er. I... Let’s talk through this.” Hua Mojian was shocked and quickly admitted defeat.

With a wave of his hand, the fire dragon entered Huo Jun’s palm. He smiled and said, “Kid, although you refuse to admit it, you have already accepted what I offered. As long as you do inherit the inheritance of my Southern Underworld Ignis Way, it doesn’t matter whether you call me master or not.”

As soon as he finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, a ball of flame enveloped Hua Mojian and Gu Xing’er. The three of them instantly turned into a flowing light and flew toward the sky.

“I’ll take you back to the God’s Palace first. I have to go to get my wounds treated.”
