Chapter 220 - He’s Here!
After a long and uneventful night, the darkness of the night finally receded as the majestic yellow sun took its rightful place in the sky, announcing the dawn of a new day.
At this moment, whether it was Ling Chen or the others, they were already up and ready. Just like usual, Ling Chen was dressed in a robe that was even whiter than snow.
A white cloak hid his tall stature while his body emitted a chilling aura. He was very handsome to the point where one might even mistake him for a young beautiful woman disguised as a man.
What was even more attractive was his pair of eyes which was different from another. The red one which was covered with some sort of magic circle gave off a pure evil and demonic air while the blue one gave off a gentle and sacred air.
As for Ling Lei, Hu\'er, Azure, and the other little devils, they were all dressed in black warriors\' attire along with a pitch-black cloak that hid their appearances. Nonetheless, their height which was about seven feet tall still set them apart from the masses.
Throughout the whole Heaven Suppression Region or even the Great Luo World, it\'s pretty rare to find a six feet tall human being, let alone a seven. As such, Ling Lei and the other little devils looked like some sort of mini giants.
Aside from that, their bodies exuded a cold aura that made it clear to anyone that they weren\'t softhearted characters.
\'Let\'s hope the Sun Demi-God doesn\'t play any tricks and answers all my questions, otherwise, I don\'t mind destroying this whole city and turned her into my nutrient.\' Ling Chen thought inwardly as he was looking coldly at the majestic Fire Phoenix City in the distance.
Even though Ling Chen didn\'t know who was spying on him, he was sure that the Demi-Gods knew something about it.
Not only that, but he was also well aware that they conspired against him long before he came to the Heaven Suppression Region.
Though he didn\'t know their purpose, he knew that it was something big. Big enough for them to overlook his heaven-defying devouring power which instilled greed into the hearts of every warrior who heard about it.
They only clue he had about their conspiracy was the fact that they referred to him as the Fateless Monster which was an unfamiliar term to him. Still, he was able to infer something from the term Fateless but not the full picture.
He always wanted to uncover their plot but his strength wasn\'t enough. However, it\'s a different story now. Even if he had to slaughter the entire Fire Phoenix City, he\'d get the answers he came here for.
When it came to his safety as well as the safety of his children and family, Ling Chen didn\'t play around. Both his children and his family members were his Achilles heel.
"Alright guys, it\'s time to set off." Ordered Ling Chen as he withdrew his gaze from the city and looked back at his children and followers.
"Yes, Divine Father."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Yes, Master." They simultaneously and respectfully answered as their bodies exuded a powerful and frightening killing intent.
As his children and close followers, Ling Chen didn\'t hide anything from them. Whether it was the fact that he was being spied on by a powerful unknown existence or the conspiracy of the Demi-Gods.
As such, they were all arm and ready to lay waste to the entire Fire Phoenix under Ling Chen\'s order if the Sun Demi-God didn\'t know what was good for her.
Swoosh!
Without wasting any time, Ling Chen transformed into a stream of white light and flew into the sky followed by Ling Lei and the others.
Within just a few minutes of flying, Ling Chen and his group finally made it to the Fire Phoenix City. They didn\'t directly fly into the city but landed out outside the city wall and queued up like the hundreds of people that wanted to enter the city. Though he wasn\'t afraid of trouble, he didn\'t like looking for it needlessly either.
Standing in front of the City walls of Fire Phoenix City, Ling Chen couldn\'t help but be surprised as he stared at the grand sight in front him− the behemoth city gates and the colossal walls. Seeing it from afar and up close were two different things.
The Ancient Blue Dragon City of the Long Family and all the cities he had seen along the way while traveling through the Sun Demi-God\'s Domain were nothing compared to the Fire Phoenix City gates standing before his eyes. It was similar to comparing a small dilapidated hut seated next to a palace.
The walls of the city were over two hundred meters tall and the people walking below the city walls were like ants that were crawling on the ground.
Even Ling Lei and other little devils who viewed humans as inferior and low-level beings were impressed by the City walls.
Soon, Ling Chen and his group followed the large crowd of people entering Fire Phoenix City. Though their appearances were somehow hidden by the large cloak they were wearing, it didn\'t really draw the attention of the crowd as it wasn\'t their first time seeing people like that.
The only thing that caught their attention was their height. Despite being in the middle of hundreds of people, their appearance still could be seen due to their towering height that towered over everyone.
"One Hundred gold coins per person." Coldly asked one of the city guards as Ling Chen and his group arrived in front of them.
Though the entry fee was a little excessive, Ling Chen didn\'t even bother to argue with them as he fetched a thousand gold coins from his inter-spatial ring and gave it to the guards. Currently, he was so rich that he didn\'t even know what to do with all that money and wealth.
However, as they were about to enter, one of the guards suddenly stopped them as he coldly and arrogantly said." You all need to take off your cloaks when checking into the city. If not, go back where you come from."
Even though they were nothing but city guards, not many people in Sun Demi-God\'s Domain dared to mess or disrespect them and that was because they weren\'t just any city guards, but the city guards of the Fire Phoenix City.
Upon hearing the city guard, Ling Chen didn\'t take off his cloak but simply tilted his head and coldly looked at him.
Plop!
The moment the city guard\'s gaze met with Ling Chen\'s, both of his limbs suddenly went numb like jelly as he fell on the ground.
Furthermore, even though Ling Chen\'s gaze wasn\'t directed to the other guards, they were still affected by it as they were trembling non-stop with cold sweats dripping down on their foreheads.
At the same time, Ling Chen didn\'t waste any more time as he walked over the city guard and entered the city followed by Ling Lei and others. He had more important things to take care of and didn\'t have time to play with a mere city guard.
After a while, the frightened city guard on the ground finally regained his wits as he incoherently mumbled like a crazy person." It\'s ...it\'s him....He...he.....he\'s here."
Even though that little monster was gone, the poor city guard still couldn\'t forget those cold and emotionless pupils. He felt as though an invincible hand was tightly squeezing both his heart and soul the moment he met that monster\'s gaze.
Though he was an early stage Martial King expert, he was no different than an ant in the presence of that monster.
"Chu Feng, you know the identity of that person?" Asked one of the guards with a frightening expression on his face.
"It\'s him, the Little devils, the God Slayer. Quickly send word to her majesty the Sun Demi-God." Anxiously answered Chu Feng.
...
Fire Phoenix Palace.
"Your Imperial Highness!" At this time, an old man dressed in black entered a luxurious main hall, respectfully bowing to a woman that stood by a window looking at the heavenly garden outside.
The woman ahead had her face hidden by a black veil and her back was facing the old man. However, even though one could not see her face, just by looking at her graceful and slender figure that was accentuated by magnificent curves, one could tell that she was a peerless beauty.
Your Imperial Highness!
In the whole Sun Demi-God Domain\'s, the only person that could be greeted with the title\' Your Imperial Highness\' was none other than the Sun Demi-God herself.
"What brings you here this early in the morning?" Asked the Sun Demi-God without turning around. Her voice was very soft and light, yet it contained an insurmountable majesty.
"He\'s here, your Imperial Highness." Answered the old man with some anxiety in his voice. At the same time, his hands were filled with cold sweat.
It was not his fault for being anxious. Nowadays, the only responses upon hearing that person\'s name were shock and awe!
Even the Demi-Gods rank powerhouse didn\'t dare to look down upon him and even somehow dreaded him, let alone a peak Martial Saint like himself.
Upon hearing the old man\'s words, the Sun Demi-God\'s mind went blank for a moment. Even though she was expecting him to come, her body couldn\'t help but subconsciously tremble upon knowing he\'s here.
If it was before, she wouldn\'t care about his presence. However, it was different now.
After some time, the Sun Demi-God finally spoke."Take Yan\'er with you to receive our guest. Also, tell her to behave herself in presence of that Devil, including you."
"Yes, Your Imperial Highness, don\'t worry. This old man knows what to do." The old man respectfully answered before he left, leaving the Sun Demi-God who was still lost in thought by herself in the main hall.
