Having devoured the Fruit of Life and Death. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Xiao Yi, who had stepped into the fortieth level of the Ultimate Holy King, now possessed battle strength comparable to the second level of the Saint Emperor Realm.

This significant increase in power also gave Xiao Yi more confidence in the upcoming mission to rescue the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion.

“Your Highness Saint Heir, your power level…” Zhang’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Xiao Yi. Just at the moment of Xiao Yi’s breakthrough, he felt the threat of death.

It was a suppression of absolute power and realm.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, “It’s just a small breakthrough, nothing to make a big fuss about!”

“A small breakthrough?”

Zhang rolled his eyes.

The commotion during that breakthrough made him think that Xiao Yi was about to step directly into the Saint Emperor Boundary.

If this was just a small breakthrough, what would be considered a major breakthrough?

However.

Zhang, who was determined to be the foremost follower of Xiao Yi, naturally wouldn’t say much, but instead said with admiration, “As expected of Your Highness Saint Heir, even a small breakthrough causes such a great commotion. If I didn’t know that the Saint Heir hasn’t broken through to the Saint Emperor Boundary yet, I would have thought you were already a master above the Saint Emperor…”

“Bootlicker…”

Lei Peng cast a disdainful glance at Zhang, then looked at Xiao Yi with earnest admiration, “The Master truly deserves the title of an immortal descended from the heavens. Even a small breakthrough has caused such a terrifying phenomenon, indeed a person among people, a true dragon on earth, with unmatched talent, making the world look up in awe…”

Watching Lei Peng speak with eloquence and endless praise.

Zhang was already dumbfounded, wearing a big puzzled face: Damn, who between you and I is the real bootlicker?

Xiao Yi glanced at Lei Peng and shook his head with a bitter smile: “Alright, alright, it’s just a small breakthrough, otherwise, people might think I’ve become the strongest in the world! Hurry up, let’s get out of this ghostly place!”

This time, it was really Xiao Yi and the others’ good luck.

If they were on the other side of the Naihe Bridge and drank the Meng Po Soup, they truly would have fallen for the trick of the red-clad woman.

Becoming the nourishment for the Fruit of Life and Death.

As for Xiao Yi’s command, Zhang and Lei Peng naturally had no objections.

The two followed closely behind.

All the way deep into the already poisonous sea of Bianhua flowers.

Now, the sea of Bianhua flowers had become a desperate situation.

Unless those who came later, like Xiao Yi, crossed the Naihe Bridge without drinking Meng Po Soup, if they touched this desperate area, they would immediately be eroded by the poison and fall.

Probably before these toxins dissipate, they will be the last batch to pass through the sea of Bianhua flowers.

Onward they went.

The boundless sea of Bianhua flowers finally came to an end, appearing on the horizon before them was a massive city.

The entire city was pitch black.

Like a huge black beast lying on the horizon.

Its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for prey to enter.

As they approached.

The group then saw clearly this ancient city, a pitch-black city with three huge city gates arranged in a triangular shape. The main city gate in the middle was the tallest, with the two on the sides being about two-thirds its height.

Right above the middle city gate, a pitch-black plaque was hanging high.

On it were three large characters written in bright red—Fengdu City!

“Fengdu City?”

“Is it the legendary city where the Emperor of Fengdu, the ruler of Yin Ming, resides? I didn’t expect such a city to actually exist here…”

According to ancient legends.

Yin Ming was dominated by the Emperor of Fengdu, who had ten Yama Kings under his command.

Just like the ten Yama Kings in the Hall of Longevity back then, they were modeled after the Yama system in Yin Ming.

Xiao Yi said, “Since there is the Yellow Springs Path, Meng Po Soup, and Naihe Bridge, it’s not surprising to have Fengdu City. Perhaps beyond Fengdu City lies the legendary eighteen levels of hell…”

“The eighteen levels of hell? It’s said that each layer of hell imprisons peerless Great Demons. The deeper the layer, the stronger and more heinous the demon…” Zhang murmured.

Lei Peng glanced at him, “Considering the crimes you’ve committed, I’m afraid even the eighteen levels of hell wouldn’t be enough for you. You should be locked in the nineteenth level!”

“Bah, you belong in the nineteenth level yourself…”

Zhang glared fiercely at Lei Peng, “No, you should be in the twentieth, thirtieth level…”

“…”

Watching the two arguing, Xiao Yi only felt a headache.

He simply chose to ignore them.

Heading towards Fengdu City on his own.

Fengdu City didn’t have the imagined scene of ghosts wandering at night, but was exceptionally quiet.

At least, all the way Xiao Yi and his group walked, until they entered the city gates, they didn’t see any ghostly figures, let alone living people.

“Why does Fengdu City feel like a ghost town?” Walking on the empty street, devoid of people, eerily silent like a land of death, made Zhang involuntarily shudder.

Lei Peng scoffed, “How can you achieve great things with the Master if you’re so timid and fearful?”

“…”

Zhang bared his teeth at Lei Peng, wishing he could rush up and take a bite out of his neck.

Lei Peng completely ignored Zhang, instead looking at Xiao Yi and said, “Master, there really doesn’t seem to be any life here…”

The Thunder Whale clan is also extremely sensitive to smells.

The entire Fengdu City was within his sense of smell, and as he said, he didn’t detect any scent of living beings.

Xiao Yi gave him a glance, his brows furrowing slightly, “You should check again, really can’t smell any trace of living people?”

Lei Peng and Zhang closed their eyes simultaneously, focused, and heightened their sense of smell to the extreme.

However…

A moment later, both shook their heads simultaneously: “Didn’t detect any scent of living people!”

“Then there’s no need to worry!”

Just as the two thought Xiao Yi would also feel heavy and uneasy because of this, Xiao Yi instead breathed a sigh of relief and, seeing their puzzled expressions, Xiao Yi explained, “The three of us are standing here alive, and you didn’t smell our presence either?”

“Uh…”

Zhang and Lei Peng exchanged a glance.

They hadn’t realized it earlier, but with Xiao Yi’s reminder, the two immediately woke up.

Indeed, they couldn’t even smell the scent of the three of them.

“Could there be something wrong with my sense of smell?”

“Impossible, even if your sense of smell is off, mine wouldn’t be…” Zhang confidently said.

“Shut up!”

Xiao Yi barked coldly. Ever since entering Fengdu City, he had a vague suspicion; it was just that at first, he wasn’t sure. But now, he was quite certain of the hypothesis in his mind. Pointing to an empty tavern on the side, he said, “Let’s go up there and rest for a while!”

“Master, this place is too strange, should we leave before anything else?” Lei Peng suggested.

For once, Zhang wasn’t contradicting Lei Peng: “Right, maybe we should leave here first!”

Xiao Yi shook his head, squinting his eyes as he looked at the blood-red sun slowly descending on the celestial dome: “Let’s wait here; we should be able to see the true face of Fengdu City before long…”
