"Mr. Ye, my sister Vermilion Bird is much stronger than me, and..."

At this moment, Ye Qingtian slightly squinted his eyes, then suddenly burst with peerless brilliant light!

"Da Huang, lead him a bit further away, let him watch from a distance obediently."

After Ye Qingtian spoke, he headed toward Vermilion Bird City.

Vermilion Bird City is surrounded on all sides by moats, and the moat is a full hundred meters from the gate, requiring a boat to reach it.

A group of people was gathered at the dock.

Leading them was a pair of male and female, the man with blue eyes and red hair, radiating noble elegance in his gestures.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes harbored resentment, and she was complaining about something.

"Little sister, don’t worry, there will definitely be someone willing to take us across."

The man reassured her.

The young girl furrowed her brows, showing impatience.

Ye Qingtian approached with Da Huang, and the man immediately noticed Da Huang.

He had a keen eye and recognized Da Huang as a Demon Beast.

Da Huang emitted a mysterious aura, instantly attracting everyone’s attention, while Ye Qingtian seemed ordinary and was overlooked.

"Brother, are you heading to the city?"

Tang Feng asked.

"Sort of."

Ye Qingtian replied calmly.

Yet Da Huang tilted its head; this Mr. Ye was not going to enter the city but to wreak havoc!

Vermilion Bird City had Middle-Tier Martial Gods stationed, with the Esoteric Sect backing them, but this Mr. Ye didn’t care at all.

He even intended for Vermilion Bird to act as his servant girl.

"Brother, my name is Tang Feng, I’ve come to Vermilion Bird City to invite the Vermilion Bird Celestial Empress to participate in the Divine Artifact Conference. An artifact has appeared in the mountain behind our Tang Family, but no genius in our family can wield it, so we’ve invited talents from the Hidden Sect."

"May I ask what brings brother to Vermilion Bird City?"

Tang Feng asked again.

"In need of a servant girl, I’m letting the Vermilion Bird fill in temporarily." Ye Qingtian said.

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent.

Then an uproar ensued.

"Heh, where did this ignorant kid come from? The Vermilion Bird Celestial Empress is greatly valued by the Mud Bodhisattva of the Secret Sect, the ruler of Vermilion Bird City, even reaching the status of Goddess of Celestial Martial Academy, yet you dare to speak nonsense."

Tang Chan’er was full of mockery.

"Little sister, don’t be rude."

Tang Feng admonished, saying to Ye Qingtian: "Brother, don’t mind her, she’s my sister Tang Chan’er."

"My little sister has been spoiled by me, I hope brother won’t take offense."

Tang Feng’s generous humility did not provoke any resentment from Ye Qingtian.

He nodded, indicating it was no problem.

Soon, Ye Qingtian introduced himself.

"Young Master Tang, we’ve inquired, but none of the boatmen are willing to go to Vermilion Bird City!"

One of Tang Feng’s subordinates rushed over to report.

"Why aren’t they going?"

Tang Feng was somewhat puzzled.

"Vermilion Bird City dislikes being disturbed by outsiders, when a boat approaches, the grand array in the city activates and sinks the boat."

"The boatman said unless there’s a master who can withstand the pressure of the grand array."

Tang Feng’s subordinate said.

Upon hearing this, Tang Feng was somewhat troubled.

He had been observing Vermilion Bird City’s array, but even he could not withstand its power.

"Seems like we’ll have to invite other talents." Tang Feng was somewhat disappointed.

"Brother, are we just giving up?" Tang Chan’er asked.

Tang Feng could only sigh.

At this time, Ye Qingtian’s words quietly sounded.

"I have a way."

"What!"

"Brother Ye, are you saying you have a way to help us?" Tang Feng was full of excitement.

"Brother, he’s obviously bragging, look at his body, there’s no Spiritual Qi fluctuation at all, I fear he’s not even a martial artist, we can’t trust him!"

Tang Chan’er said disdainfully.

At this time, even Tang Feng was somewhat skeptical.

Ye Qingtian was only twenty, could he really possess reverse divine techniques?

The talents of the Hidden Sect exuded extraordinary bearings and pride that soared to the heavens, unlike Ye Qingtian.

"It can be done." Ye Qingtian pointed at Da Huang.

Such trivial matters were beneath Ye Qingtian’s effort.

"Indeed, he has no strength, he’ll rely on a Demon Beast in the end."

Tang Chan’er scoffed coldly.

"Let me tell you this, even the Celestial Empress of Vermilion Bird City, doesn’t have the strength to face me." Ye Qingtian said calmly.

"Bragging! If you truly have that strength, I’ll marry you!"

Tang Chan’er scoffed coldly.

"As my woman, you’re not qualified."

Ye Qingtian glanced at her.

Tang Chan’er was proud in nature, poised, possessing excellent features like a beautiful little girl.

If cultivated, she would absolutely be stunningly beautiful.

But, in these years, Ye Qingtian had seen countless heavenly beauties.

Even Shen Huamo, the Empress of Japan, could only be his slave.

"Not qualified? With the surname Ye, you sure talk big, don’t you?" Tang Chan’er said disdainfully.

Ye Qingtian shook his head, not intending to argue further.

But Tang Chan’er persisted.

"With the surname Ye, do you dare to bet with me?"

"Bet?"

Ye Qingtian raised his eyebrows, asking.

"Didn’t you boast about your strength? If you’re truly stronger than the Vermilion Bird Celestial Empress, I’ll marry you, but if you lie, you’ll be my servant. Do you dare?"

Tang Chan’er said arrogantly.

"There’s nothing in this world I’m afraid of doing, but when I win, I won’t marry you; you’re unworthy."

Ye Qingtian said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Chan’er secretly laughed to herself, "Once you lose, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be wild!"

Da Huang carried two people at a time and quickly brought everyone to Vermilion Bird City’s gateway.

In front of them was a chasm-like gate, ten zhang tall, surrounded by walls made of bluestone.

At this moment, a cold shout echoed: "Who goes there?"

From within the city, several silhouettes flew toward them.

"Honored Immortals, we have important matters and wish to see the Vermilion Bird Celestial Empress."

Tang Feng stepped forward and bowed.

The arriving individuals were dressed in flowing white robes, appearing immortal and transcendental.

The leading middle-aged man stepped forward, speaking arrogantly: "Is our Celestial Empress someone you can see just because you wish? Leave quickly before I get angry!"

Tang Feng cupped his hands: "Immortal, I am Tang Feng of the Tang Sect, here to invite the Celestial Empress to our family-hosted Divine Artifact Conference."

"I hope the immortal can pass on the message."

"I’m just a guardian, not some immortal. Without offering anything, you want to see the Celestial Empress, then would everyone in the world be able to see her?"

Zhu Dahua’s arrogance grew stronger.

"The immortal speaks rightly, I’ve brought our sect’s specialty, a Demon Core specially for the immortal, hoping the immortal will accept it."

Then, he took out a walnut-sized Demon Core from his embrace.

Upon seeing the Demon Core, Zhu Dahua was secretly pleased.

But his face remained unmoved, "Hmm, seeing how determined you are, I’ll let you meet our steward, if he says you can see the Celestial Empress, then you may."

Saying this, Zhu Dahua discreetly accepted it.

He was just a martial artist employed by Vermilion Bird City, usually fond of gambling, with pitifully few possessions, this Demon Core could fetch a good price.

Seeing Zhu Dahua accept the gift, Tang Feng was overjoyed.

"Brother Ye, let’s go in."

He had just said this to Ye Qingtian when Zhu Dahua said: "You can go in, but others cannot!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Feng froze, quickly understanding that the gift wasn’t valuable enough.

He bit his teeth and took off the Spiritual Jade from his neck. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Immortal, this is my family’s heirloom, a Jade, offered to the immortal."

"I hope the immortal will allow my friend to enter."

Tang Feng bowed.

As Zhu Dahua reached to take the Jade, a quiet voice sounded: "Brother Tang, I don’t need these to enter Vermilion Bird City, if they kowtow in welcome, fine, if not, I’ll fight my way in and flatten Vermilion Bird City!"
