This was a coniferous forest, and there were thousand-year-old pines growing there. Each pine was as thick as a millstone. More than fifty Beast Kings were carrying brightly armored soldiers. Everywhere they passed, sand and stones flew, and the beasts retreated.
Mo Chongji sat on the head of a nine-hundred-year-old Soaring Serpent. The Soaring Serpent's body was more than two meters in diameter and more than sixty meters long. It had a pair of snake scaled wings on its back, and when it flicked its tongue in and out, a large amount of poisonous fog filled the air, causing the leaves of the thousand-year-old pine trees to wither.
Mo Chongji was very excited. He didn't expect to have such a powerful mount that was no weaker than him.
"Your Excellency, that Shi Zhenxiang is not dead yet. Once he recovers, he will definitely come for us again. How will we stop him then?" Mo Chongji was a bit worried.
Feng Feiyun was still sitting on the back of the scaled tiger, refining the five-thousand-year-old Scarlet Cloud Grass. Condensing the second phoenix bone wasn't an easy task. Not only did he need to refine the grass, he also needed the energy from the spirit core of a spirit beast.
Feng Feiyun was working day and night to condense the second phoenix bone. He wanted to succeed before reaching Heaven Worship.
Feng Feiyun heard Mo Chongji and lightly said: "As long as we reach Heaven Worship, Shi Zhenxiang won't be able to do anything."
"But Heaven Worship is also an Ancient Jiang tribe, a bit stronger than Heaven Witchcraft. They have six tribe lords in total …" Mo Chongji said.
As long as a Jiang was as strong as a Giant, they would be given the title of "tribe lord". This was an honorific title and they would be given their own territory.
Feng Feiyun naturally knew what Mo Chongji was worried about. After all, the Jiang were xenophobic. Moreover, Feng Feiyun was the Divine King of the Jin Dynasty. His arrival at Ancient Jiang would arouse the suspicions of the other tribe lords. If he didn't buy them, they would band together to suppress him.
Feng Feiyun said: "No need to worry.
Strategist Mo, you've already notified the Ancient Jiang Prefecture's lord and the Heaven Worship Division's division masters. They should be aware of my arrival, right? "
The worry on Mo Chongji's face couldn't be dispelled. He had traveled to Ancient Jiang before and knew how fierce these people were. They were not as relaxed as the soldiers of the Shenwu Army. He said: "Yesterday, I sent a message through a jade talisman. The prefecture lord knew that Your Excellency is coming and was so happy that he couldn't sleep well last night. He said that he will personally welcome you into Witch God City."
The Ancient Jiang government office was located in the Witch God's Barbarian City, but it was only a formality. The ones truly in charge of this land were the six division lords and the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess.
Feng Feiyun didn't say anything else and continued to refine the Scarlet Cloud Spirit Grass. This trip to the Ancient Jiang Prefecture would not be an easy one; every bit of strength counted.
The Senluo Temple and one of the three evil realms, the Dark Realm, were both located in the Ancient Jiang Prefecture. Feng Feiyun only cared about these two powers, not the barbarian division lords.
After trekking for three days and crossing 70,000 miles in the mountains, they finally arrived at the territory of the Heavenly Witch Barbarian City.
Along the way, they met many small Jiang tribes. Feiyun told his men to be careful and avoid them. Try not to have any conflicts with the Jiang people in order to avoid unnecessary troubles.
The Ancient Jiang Prefecture Lord, Chen Daoran, along with several Prefectural Governors and officials, were already waiting at the city gate. It wasn't until dusk that they saw a group of intimidating Shenwu Army approaching from the horizon along with the roars of strange beasts that shook the earth.
There were piles of white beast bones on top of the city walls. A group of Jiang warriors was startled and thought that a strange beast was attacking the city, so they were very nervous. Many of them raised their seven-meter-long Golden Divine Crossbows. The arrows were like flagpoles. Once they were fired, even a giant beast that had cultivated for six hundred years would be pierced.
Chen Daoran stood outside and shouted: "How dare you! This is the arrival of a Divine King, put away your crossbows!"
Chen Daoran's cultivation was quite amazing, at the early stage of Giant. He was the favorite disciple of Grand Tutor Dongfang Hanlin, a member of the Yin Gou Clan as well.
His roar contained the laws of the heavens and made people's eardrums hurt. A blue divine light rushed into the sky and many Jiang barbarians were knocked to the ground by the impact.
"Keke, Sir Prefecture Lord, you don't have the final say in this city. Divine King?
Never heard of him.
I only know that a large number of powerful beasts are approaching. If these powerful beasts enter the city, it will definitely cause unimaginable damage. If the Goddess is injured, hehe, I'm afraid you, Chen Daoran, won't be able to keep your head. "
On top of the Witch God's city wall, a black-haired Jiang was more than four meters tall. He was playing with a 100,000 pound axe in his hand while wearing heavy armor. He sat on top of the wall with his legs spread apart. His eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance.
Anyone who wanted to enter the city would have to walk under his crotch.
Chen Daoran angrily said: "Chang Dakai, don't think that just because you are the sixth lord of Heaven Worship that you can ignore His Excellency the Divine King. Do you even care about the Jin Dynasty?"
"Bah!
I, Chang Dakai, only have the Heavenly Witchcraft God and the Goddess in my eyes. Dynasties and whatnot are nothing but bullshit in my eyes. "
Dakai didn't care at all. He sat on top of the wall and stared at the dust in the distance. His thick lips revealed two rows of teeth just like a beast.
In the distance, Feiyun sat on his scaled tiger and stared at the barbarian walls ahead. It had an ancient aura and was filled with the rhythm of history. It was as if an ancient city from tens of thousands of years ago had suddenly fallen to this era.
The bones of the beasts piled up like a mountain. Some were eighty to ninety meters tall, giving off an oppressive aura. The beasts below became agitated after seeing these bones. If it wasn't for Feng Feiyun, they would have retreated already.
There was a terrifying power inside the city that made these beasts not dare to come close.
This was not Mo Chongji's first time in the Witch God's Barbarian City, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Rumor has it that this Witch God's Barbarian City is the tomb of the Heavenly Witchcraft God. It is protected by the Witch God's power. Even the ferocious beasts of the Hundred Thousand Land wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.
Feng Feiyun used his phoenix gaze to look at the city. He saw a shocking qi image hovering above the city. It looked like a human and a beast at the same time, towering at 3,700 meters. It had a black hammer in its hand but no head. Its body was covered in thick chains. Above its head was a crimson sky.
This was just like the Barbarian Holy Spirit from the primordial myth. One swing of its hammer could shatter a corner of the continent and destroy a dynasty with a flick of its finger.
This was the qi image hovering above the city. It was majestic and intimidating.
Feng Feiyun put away his phoenix gaze and took a deep breath: "Perhaps this city really has an amazing origin. Maybe it really is the body of someone who dominated the world."
Mo Chongji couldn't see the qi image above the city so he wasn't as shocked as Feng Feiyun. He only stared at Feng Feiyun in shock: "Your Excellency is proficient in the Qi Observation Art and Star Observation Art?"
Feng Feiyun answered: "I know a thing or two."
Although Feng Feiyun's words were modest, Mo Chongji was still quite excited: "Your Excellency is too humble.
You have to know that in order to see through qi images, one needs to be well-versed in astronomy and geography. One must understand the cycle of heaven and earth, the direction of the terrain, the grand dao, and even have a deep understanding of the sun, moon, and stars.
I'm afraid even a ninth-ranked wisdom master wouldn't be able to do this. In the entire Jin Dynasty, there are no more than ten people who are proficient in this art. All of them are knowledgeable sages or Enlightened Beings who have reached the heavenly dao. "
"Your Excellency, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I have studied astronomy and geography as well as the sun, moon, and stars for more than three hundred years, but I still haven't reached the level where you can see through qi images. I can only vaguely see the qi images of a few geniuses. As for this kind of terrain, I really haven't touched it yet.
There are many people like me who know a little bit about aura viewing, but those who can see through the aura of a large city with just a glance like Sir Divine King, only a few people in the entire dynasty are truly proficient in the aura viewing technique. "
Mo Chongji admired Feng Feiyun to the extreme.
Feng Feiyun, on the other hand, didn't think that there was anything special about this. In the end, as long as one cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze, along with his previous life's study of the heavenly dao and the laws of the terrain, seeing the qi images and stars was a piece of cake. However, he didn't think that other people would view this as a sacred thing.
"Since Your Excellency is proficient in both qi and star gazing, I have a word of respect." Mo Chongji said.
Feng Feiyun patted Mo Chongji's shoulder and smiled: "Old Mo, don't keep me guessing, hurry up and say it."
Mo Chongji had been with Feng Feiyun for a long time, so he naturally knew that Feng Feiyun was an easygoing person, so he smiled and said: "I heard that the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess inherited Grand Wisdom Master Jing Feng's wisdom and witchcraft. She is also a wise person who is proficient in celestial and geography. If Your Excellency can have an academic exchange with the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess, then it would be a great benefit for this trip to the Ancient Jiang.
As long as we can win the favor of the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess, then it would be the same as winning the hearts of the entire Ancient Jiang tribe. Our actions in the Ancient Jiang tribe would also be like a fish in the water. "
"Haha!
Academic exchange, alright!
I like this phrase, I'll leave this matter to you! "
Feng Feiyun's horse left the dust behind as he flew towards the Witch God's Barbarian City. In his mind, the timid face of the young tea seller in Spirit State City suddenly appeared. She shyly curled up her naked body and bowed with both hands folded in front of her. She was like a little quail crying and begging: "Young Master Feng, I'm begging you, I'm still young!
Please let me go … "
At this moment, this pitiful little girl had become the spiritual leader of the entire Ancient Jiang tribe, the famous Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess. It was said that a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. Feng Feiyun really wanted to know what this little girl had become.
