Chapter 274 The Fierce Encounter for Zhe Liang, the Pure Fire Phoenix
The efficiency of Fierce Fire and Black Abyss was astounding, as they each immediately began to deploy their secret techniques almost as soon as they left the imperial palace.
In no time, both of them almost simultaneously located the whereabouts of Zhe Liang.
"Black Abyss, I'll take the lead!" Fierce Fire's figure transformed into a gentle breeze, instantly vanishing from the spot.
"Heh heh!" Black Abyss coldly chuckled, his entire being merging into the shadows.
In the pursuit of Zhe Liang, both of them showcased their respective talents.
At the Gu's Tea House.
"When the moon is dark and the wind is high, atop the Tianqiong Mountain, the envoys of the Three Realms appear like celestial beings descending to the mortal realm, one with overwhelming momentum, one with unfathomable depth, one..."
The storyteller was narrating the tale of the selection of envoys for ascension, despite being a mere mortal, he spoke with vivid expression, as if he had witnessed it himself.
Zhe Liang and Zhongren listened to the story while sipping their tea.
"This story lacks interest."
"In my opinion, the envoys of the Three Realms should engage in a battle to see who is truly formidable."
"Whoever is the most powerful will be able to select the most cultivators."
On the side, Gu Xiaoqi boredly propped her chin, gazing in the direction of the city gates.@@@@
Upon hearing this, Zhongren shook his head helplessly.
With Xiaoqi's talent, she naturally had the confidence to make such remarks, but cultivators in the mortal realm were always chosen, they had no say in the matter, it was good enough to kneel and lick to ascend!
"Ascending to the Upper Realm is a dream cherished by countless cultivators in the mortal realm."
"No matter how powerful the envoys of the Three Realms are, cultivators heading to Tianqiong Mountain will strive to participate in the selection."
"The power of choice has always been in the hands of those three envoy, not in the hands of cultivators in the mortal realm."
Zhe Liang set down his teacup, his gaze shifting towards Tianqiong Mountain.
If it were him from before, he might have been like those cultivators heading to Tianqiong Mountain, exerting all efforts for a chance to ascend to the Upper Realm.
Because only in that way could one defy fate.
He knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to defy fate.
If not for the young master, he might still be the ordinary, unremarkable youth mocked by others.
"Still, it's not interesting."
"Little Zhe Liang, and little Taoist, shall we go explore a few ancient ruins... no, shall we cultivate?"
"We've been stuck in the capital every day, it's been so boring... "
Gu Xiaoqi stared eagerly into the distance, like a bird yearning for freedom.
"No, we can't."
"The envoys of the Three Realms are still within the borders of Jing Nation, and now with so many people flooding into Jing Nation because of the ascension, the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Announcements Bureau are both short-handed. We must stay in the capital to watch over them and ease the burden for the lord and lady."
Zhe Liang immediately objected.
Though he usually indulged Xiaoqi's playful nature, at times like this, the matters concerning the lord and lady were more important.
"No to this, no to that?"
"Oh, that's right! The last time you went to intercept someone, you didn't even remember to bring me along... You two ungrateful scoundrels, not at all honorable!"
Gu Xiaoqi crossed her arms, glaring at Zhe Liang with puffed cheeks.
Zhe Liang paused at her words, realizing that indeed, last time things were rushed, and he had forgotten her.
At this moment, he could only adopt a gentle tone to appease her.
Meanwhile, Zhongren sipped his tea indifferently, feeling somewhat relieved that Xiaoqi wasn't brought along last time.
"Zhe Liang, my young friend, ascending to the Demon Realm is your primary choice. The senior has also agreed to both of us, recruiting you is each on our own merits... Don't let this rascal deceive you!"
The envoy from the Demon Realm, Fierce Fire, hurriedly arrived.
Black Abyss actually resorted to Underworld techniques to find someone, so shameless.
Luckily, they arrived in time; this fellow almost seized the opportunity.
Fierce Fire glanced at Black Abyss with a gnashing hatred.
"What do you two mean? Where are you taking little Zhe Liang? Can you take me along too?"
Gu Xiaoqi, upon seeing the two ferry envoys, immediately grew excited.
She was just thinking of going out to play, and now there were two envoys coming to her door, it felt like a dream come true.
This bloodline aura... hmm?
Phoenix!?
Damn it!
Fierce Fire only noticed Gu Xiaoqi now, feeling the aura emanating from her, his reaction more exaggerated than Black Abyss's, his whole body instantly jolted!
Even recoiling half a step!
My god!
There are hardly any pure-blooded Phoenixes left in the Demon Realm... it wasn't until a hundred years ago, when a Xuan Frost Ice Dragon went there, step by step cultivating to the level of the Supreme Emperor, that the strength of the Divine Beast Clan became formidable, otherwise, they were nearly extinct!
But here... there's actually a Pure Fire Phoenix!?
Damn!
An underworld member with a powerful mysterious Demon Clan bloodline, one is the descendant of the ancient divine clan, and then there's the Lord of Yin God Palace, all under that senior's command, this is... Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
Fierce Fire dared not think further.
He hadn't had the honor of meeting the Empress of Jing Nation yet, but just thinking about it, he knew she was definitely not simple!
Having Gu Lan, a descendant of the ancient divine clan, casually kept by her side was already beyond his ability to fathom.
Fierce Fire withdrew his gaze, looking back at Zhe Liang.
"My young friend, come with me to the Demon Realm, I can activate the Demon Clan bloodline within you, allowing you to fully tap into your potential."
"Believe me! Once you can perfectly integrate the Demon Clan bloodline and the Underworld bloodline within you, even if you look across the Six Realms, you will be an extraordinary figure!"
"Hehe!"
"Black Abyss, stop talking nonsense. Zhe Liang can activate other bloodlines within him by going with me to the Demon Realm."
"..."
"My young friend, I come from the Holy Land of the River Styx in the Underworld. As long as you follow me, you will be the Holy Son of the River Styx in the Underworld in the future!"
In the end, it turned into a quarrel.
Black Abyss directly offered a bigger deal!
Fierce Fire's expression changed at his words.
Promising the identity of the Holy Son of the River Styx, Black Abyss was really bold!
Fierce Fire also didn't want to be outdone, he also wanted to offer a bigger deal!
Anyway, as long as they can deceive Zhe Liang to the Demon Realm!
As for whether the promised deal can be fulfilled, it depends on how high Zhe Liang's talent is.
"Come to the Demon Realm, and you will be the next candidate for the Lord of the Demon Realm!"
"..."
