205 The Phoenix Dynasty
âThe Phoenixâs Nest!â Supreme Sage Qin Tian cried out in shock and his expression became nervous. After all, the Phoenixâs Nest was one of the nine forbidden grounds in the Canglan Continent. It was a forbidden place that even he didnât dare to set foot in.
âElder King, the Phoenixâs Nest is a forbidden place. are you confident about this? Do you need my help?â Supreme Sage Qin Tian asked sternly.
Qin Chen shook his head and replied softly, âSenior, donât worry. Since I could return safely from the Demon Emperor Tomb, I will definitely return safely this time as well.â
Hearing Qin Chenâs words, Supreme Sage Qin Tian was half relieved. After giving Qin Chen a few instructions, he did not say anything more. After Qin Chen rested for a night in the palace, he brought the big scorpion to the north the next day.
In the depths of the Northern Castle was a world of ice and snow. As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast expanse of white. There was not a single living being in sight, only a towering ice mountain and a sea of snow.
At this moment, two beams of light streaked across the sky, flying toward the depths of the Northern Castle. They were Qin Chen and the big scorpion, who were rushing to the Phoenixâs Nest.
Looking at the endless ice mountains and snow sea, the big scorpion showed a curious expression and asked, âElder King, where are we going?â
Qin Chen did not tell the big scorpion that their destination was the Phoenixâs Nest, one of the nine forbidden grounds. After all, with the big scorpionâs cowardly personality, if he had told the latter, he might not have been able to get the other party to come even if he kidnapped him.
Looking into the depths of the Northern Castle, the Phoenixâs Nest was not far away. Thus, Qin Chen stopped hiding it from the big scorpion and said honestly, âWeâre going to the Phoenixâs Nest.â
âThe Phoenixâs Nest?â The big scorpionâs expression changed and he stopped in the air.
He wore an incredulous âyou tricked meâ look on his face as he roared at Qin Chen, âYouâre taking me to the Phoenixâs Nest?â
âYes!â Qin Chen nodded.
The big scorpion raised its head and refused without thinking, âImpossible. I wonât go to the forbidden ground to court death. Whoever wants to go can go. Either way, Iâm not going.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the big scorpion immediately went on strike. Looking in the direction he came from, he had the thought of returning home.
Seeing this, Qin Chen was not surprised at all. He had already expected that the big scorpion would refuse to go, so he replied with a smile, âOf course, you donât have to go, but I heard that the Phoenixâs Nest has scattered phoenix blood. Since youâre going back, it seems that you wonât have the opportunity.â
âPhoenix blood! are you telling the truth?â The big scorpionâs eyes were wide open. he was immediately attracted by Qin Chenâs words. After all, if he devoured the phoenix blood, his bloodline would be improved again. It could even be comparable to the bloodlines of top demons like the flood dragon and fake phoenix.
Seeing that the big scorpion was tempted, a smile appeared on Qin Chenâs face. He nodded and said, âThe information is highly credible. There must be phoenix blood in the Phoenixâs Nest.
The big scorpion looked hesitant. Without the information about the phoenix blood, he wouldâve just left without looking back. However, it was different now that he knew about the phoenix blood. Even if he wanted to leave now, he couldnât take a step. The attraction of the phoenix blood to him was just too great.
After careful consideration, the big scorpion finally lost to the temptation of the phoenix blood. It snorted softly and said, âElder King, I can go with you to the Phoenixâs Nest, but I must have a share of the phoenix blood if we find it. You have to protect me too.â
Qin Chen was speechless. The big scorpion was not weak. After devouring the golden roc, his cultivation base had advanced to level four of the Supreme Sage realm. Yet, such a powerful Supreme Sage was even more cowardly than an ordinary Sage king.
âDonât worry, this trip wonât be too dangerous,â Qin Chen replied softly. Then, he continued flying toward the Phoenixâs Nest with the big scorpion.
Soon after, a city appeared in front of them. On the city wall were three words: Wind Imperial Dynasty.
The Phoenixâs Nest was right behind the city, but Qin Chen did not go straight to it. instead, he landed on the Wind Imperial Dynastyâs city wall. As soon as the two of them landed, a group of soldiers ran out of the city and surrounded them with alert expressions.
âWho are you? Why have you come to the Wind Imperial Dynasty?â The leading general asked loudly.
The big scorpion rolled his eyes. He waved his hand and sent these people flying. He released his Supreme Sagely might and said in a deep voice, âYou think youâre qualified to question us with your weak cultivation?â
âA... A Sage realm expert! Fast, report this to the princess!â The general turned pale with fright and hurriedly ordered his men to return to the city to report.
Qin Chen pulled the big scorpion behind him and smiled. He said to the general, âWeâre just passing by. We donât have any ill intentions.â
âItâs just a small city, so why bother explaining to them?â The big scorpion pouted and showed a look of disdain.
At this moment, a terrifying aura came from the city. A child appeared at the city gate and said coldly, âTo think a mere demon raceâs Supreme Sage is so arrogant!â
The big scorpion looked at the child and shuddered. It felt a terrifying pressure, and its scorpion face turned ugly.
Qin Chen frowned. He had seen the child at the Myriad Races Gathering before. The child was the eight-shedding divine silkworm that struck fear into the hearts of the ten thousand ancient races. No wonder he had found the name Wind Imperial Dynasty familiar. So it was the eight-shedding divine silkwormâs territory.
âSenior, weâre just passing by. We donât have any ill intentions,â Qin Chen cupped his hands, not willing to offend this important figure.
The eight-shedding divine silkworm also recognized Qin Chen and revealed a puzzled expression. it said softly, âThe human Elder King? Why arenât you in the Central Province looking for the demon god race? Why did you bring a demon to the Wind Imperial Dynasty?â
âSenior, weâre going to the Phoenixâs Nest. Weâre just passing by the Wind Imperial Dynasty. We mean no harm,â Qin Chen did not hide anything and stated the purpose of his trip frankly.
âYouâre going to the Phoenixâs Nest?â The eight-shedding divine silkworm exclaimed.
âYes, senior,â Qin Chen nodded.
The eight-shedding divine silkworm was shocked. It looked at Qin Chen and the scorpion meaningfully, then shook its head and sighed, âYou want to go to the Phoenixâs Nest with your abilities? You simply donât know what youâre doing.â
Qin Chen wasnât angry when he heard the eight-shedding divine silkwormâs words. He only said, âSenior, the two of us have no ill intentions. I hope senior wonât hold it against us for what happened before.â
âHmph, donât worry. Iâm not that petty. As long as you donât do anything bad in the city, I donât care whether youâre dead or alive,â the eight-shedding divine silkworm snorted and retracted its pressure, not bothering with the big scorpion anymore.
At this moment, a red carriage drove out of the city, and a devastatingly beautiful girl in a red dress alighted from the carriage.
The young girl took a look at the eight-shedding divine silkworm and walked over with her graceful figure. She patted the eight-shedding divine silkwormâs head and rebuked, âEight, itâs just a misunderstanding. How can you be so rude to Elder King and his friend?â
