624 Trespassing the City (1/2)

”The Spiritual Fire is in that tower. Won't it be dangerous?” the Giant Crocodile Beast King asked worriedly. If anything happened to the Spiritual Fire, the Giant Crocodile Beast King would most likely never be able to become a demon.

'”Don't forget that the Spiritual Fire came into existence here. It should not be in any danger in this city,” the Peacock Beast King said. ”Also, Lord Dragon Horse has already followed the Spiritual Fire into the high tower. With Lord Dragon Horse guarding it, the security of the Spiritual Fire should not be a problem.”

”Even I do not understand this mysterious place,” the Peacock Beast King continued. ”I only know, from the memories that our ancestors passed down, that this was a place where immortal cultivators gathered in ancient times. This space is one of the shards from that ancient gathering place. The residents of the ancient city were the immortal cultivators of the lower echelons of the immortal cultivator society. As for the high tower, it seems that it was also used to train these lower echelon, immortal cultivator disciples. But for us, everything in the high tower is still very frightening.”

The Peacock Beast King looked at the high tower with eyes full of fear. The tower was slanted at a 45° angle and the top half of it had collapsed.

The city they were in had existed long, long ago. Even the Seven Major Beast Kings did not know exactly how ancient it was. The monstrous beasts in the Fire Domain had always considered this space to be a forbidden land. Unless they were forced to, they absolutely would not put one foot in this place. The mysterious region had a terrifying aura that filled them with horror.

All of the monstrous beasts in the Fire Domain, even the Seven Major Beast Kings, had never dared to come to this region before. But this time, because of the Sacred Flame, the Seven Major Beast Kings had been compelled to come.

Among the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings, the Peacock Beast King knew the most about this mysterious place. That was because, in the Peacock Beast King's bloodline heritage, there remained the remnant information of his ancestors. This information was the strongest memories that the ancestors of the Peacock Beast King had held on to during their lives. Those images were marked in their bloodline and passed down to future generations.

Among the Seven Major Beast Kings, the Peacock Beast King's ability was second only to that of the Dragon Horse. It was also the wisest of the Seven Major Beast Kings. Hence, the other Beast Kings were willing to listen to what the Peacock Beast King said.

Elsewhere in the city, the human ancient martial art practitioners had finished their discussions. In the end, they decided to enter the ancient city. After all, knowing that the spiritual fire was imprisoned in the high tower, none of the ancient martial art practitioners who had come all this way wanted to give up.

What astonished Mo Wen was that there were more than ten human ancient martial art practitioner teams having discussions. Each team had Martial Arts Grandmasters to hold the fort. With so many human strong practitioners, it was no wonder that they could out the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings under so much pressure.

Mo Wen did not want to mingle with these ancient martial art practitioner teams. Hence, he found a quiet place to be alone. Knowing that the spiritual fire was in the ancient city, Mo Wen also did not want to give up. At least in a situation with so many people, there was still the possibility of him profiting amongst all the confusion.

Right now, there were still human ancient martial art practitioners flying into the ancient city. Although large numbers of monstrous beasts had gathered, all the human ancient martial art practitioners who had come were the best of the best. Aside from the Seven Major Beast Kings, very few monstrous beasts could pose a threat to them.

Mo Wen knew he was in the southern suburbs of the ancient city. As he explored part of the city, he had discovered a gate which was inscribed with ancient characters indicating that it was the southern gate of the city.

Mo Wen quietly flew into the air, maintaining a distance from the members of Golden Dragon Sect as he moved towards the ancient city.

”Grandmother, among the Seven Major Beast Kings, there is a Peacock Beast King which is very strong,” Jin Ying said. ”It is said that not long ago, the Yuanming Sect Grand Elder Gu Tong was injured by the Peacock Beast King. If Elder Gu Tong hadn't taken the Yuanming Sect's most valuable Yuan Ming Lantern with him, he would most likely have died at the hands of the Peacock Beast King.” Jin Ying's expression was serious as she flew alongside Granny Jin Hua.

Among the Seven Major Beast Kings in the Fire Domain, the Peacock Beast King's ability was ranked number two. Jin Ying knew that they would certainly encounter the seven Beast Kings when they ventured into the city. She hoped her grandmother would not encounter a Beast King which was too strong.

Yuanming Sect Grand Elder Gu Tong was a famously strong practitioner from the Zhen Wu Mystery Dimension. His cultivation was comparable to that of her grandmother. He had also had the Yuanming Sect's most valuable Yuan Ming Lantern; even so, he had still nearly died at the hands of the Peacock Beast King.

”Ying'er, don't worry. There are some unparalleled strong practitioners among the human ancient martial art practitioners too. There will naturally be someone who will go up against those formidable Beast Kings.”

Granny Jin Hua smiled. If they didn't have the certainty of success, the human ancient martial art practitioners would not enter the Fire Domain so boldly. Among the human practitioners who came, she could think of a few people who were far more capable than her.

The group moved at a fast speed. Soon, they arrived at the ancient city. Just as a Golden Dragon Sect ancient martial art practitioner was about to fly into the ancient city, his facial expression changed drastically. His body plummeted towards the ground like a piece of rock.

With a loud thud, the Golden Dragon Sect ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm slammed forcefully into the ground. He was facing downwards and his limbs outstretched.

”Huh?” The sudden change startled all the Golden Dragon Sect ancient martial art practitioners. They stopped immediately, staring cautiously at the city.

”Everyone, be careful. There is an Anti-air Field. We cannot fly any further.” The Golden Dragon Sect ancient martial art practitioner who fell onto the ground crawled up. With a bitter smile, he loudly warned the others. There was a mysterious anti-air energy in the air above this ancient city. Nobody could fly above it.

No wonder then that earlier, the Dragon Beast King had actively descended from the air and walked on the ground when returning to the city.

The few members of the Golden Dragon Sect glanced at each other. Then, one by one they landed on the ground and walked in an orderly fashion through the city gates. This ancient city hid many secrets. No one dared to act recklessly in such a place.
