"I have a way to find a stronger Dragon-Phoenix Pool, do you want to give it a try?"
When Mu Chen heard Cai Xiao's enticing words, his heart uncontrollably jolted. At this moment, even with his composure, he couldn't help looking at Cai Xiao in shock. After a long while, he suppressed his voice and exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible?"
If the Dragon-Phoenix Pool could be found so easily, then there wouldn't be so many people fighting to the death every time the Dragon-Phoenix Haven opens.
"If they can detect the location of the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, why can't I?"
Cai Xiao lightly smiled. Her unfathomable attitude left Mu Chen stunned. After all, he was clear that this girl before him was rather mysterious.
"Then, it should be dangerous, right?" Mu Chen asked in a solemn voice.
"In this world, who doesn't have to pay a price that others can't afford to obtain?"
Cai Xiao looked at Mu Chen and continued, "I don't think that you're the kind of naive person that expects a pie to fall from the sky, right?"
"I just don't want to do useless things."
Mu Chen smiled as he slowly nodded his head and looked at Cai Xiao with a serious expression. "But I'm somewhat interested in your suggestion. So if you want to give it a try, I can accompany you."
Clap.
Cai Xiao gently clasped her hands together as she smiled. "Let's do it this way, then. But for my suggestion to work, we will need to find a Dragon-Phoenix Pool first. So we will have to obtain a Dragon-Phoenix Pool in our Dragon-Phoenix Haven."
"We still have to fight for a Dragon-Phoenix Pool?
What's the point of searching for other Dragon-Phoenix Pools? "Mu Chen knitted his brows.
"Are you stupid? There are strong and weak Dragon-Phoenix Pools. So the 'Ersatz Dragon Physique' and 'Ersatz Phoenix Physique' that we can use to cultivate will also have a difference in strength. If we can refine ourselves in a Dragon-Phoenix Pool, it will be greatly beneficial for our training in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven." Cai Xiao spoke with fervor and composure. She didn't seem like someone that knew nothing about the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
Mu Chen pondered for a brief moment. He had no choice but to admit that what Cai Xiao said was right. However, he still helplessly flung his lips aside. Looks like he still had to fight for a Dragon-Phoenix Pool. A fierce battle would probably be unavoidable. After all, there were only five Dragon-Phoenix Pools in this opening of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. The competition would definitely be unimaginable.
As Mu Chen and Cai Xiao conversed, the commotion in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion grew louder. The number of Dragon-Phoenix Pools must have given them quite a bit of stimulation.
When Mu Qiu saw this scene, he helplessly shook his head and said, "According to our estimations, the Dragon-Phoenix Haven will open tomorrow. At that time, it will be the best time to enter. Furthermore, the Dragon-Phoenix Haven is filled with danger. Although those beasts don't have high intellect, they are extremely powerful due to the fall of the True Dragon and True Phoenix. So I hope that everyone will be well-prepared."
When he finished speaking, Mu Qiu no longer spoke as he slowly turned around and left, leaving the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion in an even more clamorous atmosphere.
"Let's go, there's nothing for us to stay here. Let's wait for the Dragon-Phoenix Haven to open tomorrow." When Mu Chen saw this scene, he stood up and said to Cai Xiao.
Cai Xiao gently nodded her head, before the two of them left the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.
The departure of Mu Chen's group had attracted the attention of some gazes. Su Biyue and Hong Yu's eyes lightly flickered. Although this Mu Chen from the Great Heaven Domain only had a cultivation at Third Grade Sovereign, the fighting strength that he had displayed far exceeded that. This was something that they couldn't help but pay attention to.
Looks like there will be quite a few dark horses in this Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
Liu Yan also coldly looked at the departing silhouettes of Mu Chen and Hong Yu with an eerie lustre surging in the depths of his eyes as he muttered to himself, "I'll let you be complacent for another day. After entering the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death …"
However, when Mu Chen and Hong Yu left, no one noticed that there was a figure fluctuating in the higher floors, before disappearing.
…
Mu Chen and Hong Yu left the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and headed towards the west of the Dragon-Phoenix Ancient City, intending to find a place to rest for the night. But when they passed through numerous ancient streets and entered a street with few people, Cai Xiao's figure suddenly paused as her pupils narrowed like a cat.
"You've followed us for so long, you're still not going to show yourself?"
When Cai Xiao's voice resounded, lightning instantly burst out from Mu Chen's body. Shortly after, he clenched his fist and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared in a flash. Without any hesitation, he had ruthlessly smashed it towards a certain space behind him.
Within the void, a slender hand seemed to extend out, before gently patting the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Instantly, ripples that could be seen with the naked eye rippled out.
Buzz!
The earth crumbled as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was pushed back. Mu Chen's figure heavily jolted as the stone slabs beneath his feet were reduced to dust. Shortly after, his gaze turned grave as he looked in a direction. In that direction, space started to fluctuate as a white-clothed figure slowly appeared.
That white-clothed figure had a head full of long black hair. He had a pair of sword-like eyebrows and a pair of star-like eyes. His face was exceedingly handsome. Furthermore, there seemed to be a mysterious fluctuation rippling from his body.
"Haha. Formidable. I never thought that even my Void Concealment Technique couldn't escape from your senses. Since when did such a formidable person appear amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region?" The white-clothed figure lightly smiled as his gaze locked onto Cai Xiao as he spoke in a gentle voice.
Although that white-clothed figure was handsome to the point that girls would be infatuated with him, Cai Xiao only cast an indifferent glance at him. "It's just a Void Concealment Technique. It's not as amazing as you think."
"Who are you?
Why are you following us? "Mu Chen knitted his brows together.
"I'm sorry. I've unintentionally overheard your conversation, and I'm also somewhat interested in it." The white-clothed man replied.
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. He had used Spiritual Energy to envelop his voice when he spoke with Cai Xiao, and this fellow was actually able to unintentionally hear it?
That means was pretty formidable.
"If you're interested, then go and play by yourself. We're not lacking in manpower."
Cai Xiao's crisp voice didn't have the slightest enthusiasm. Clearly, she wasn't too interested in those fellows that came up to her.
The white-clothed man clearly did not expect Cai Xiao to reject him so straightforwardly. He lightly knitted his brows. "I believe that with my help, your chances of success will be much higher. Furthermore, there might not be anyone that can disturb us at that time."
"But I believe that your appetite isn't small."
Cai Xiao gently waved her hand. "Let's go. I won't bicker with you about your eavesdropping and following us."
"Are you really not going to reconsider?"
A light flickered in the depths of the white-clothed man's eyes as he softly said, "Isn't it better to have another friend?"
"Threatening me?" Cai Xiao smiled. That bewitching smile of hers could simply make one's heart leap out.
The white-clothed man did not speak as he stared at Cai Xiao. In the next instant, his eyes suddenly narrowed and his figure disappeared.
Rustle!
However, in that instant when he disappeared, Cai Xiao's figure had also disappeared and appeared a few hundred feet away. Thereafter, her slender finger abruptly pointed towards the void.
Buzz!
Space fluctuated as Cai Xiao's finger seemed to have pierced through space, before a powerful Spiritual Energy storm exploded, shattering the stone slabs on the street into dust.
Cai Xiao retreated upon contact and returned to her original position. Looking at the space that had gradually calmed down, she twitched her brows in astonishment. "That fellow is pretty formidable. It's a pity that there are too many seals on my body. Otherwise, I would have locked him in space and he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to."
Clearly, she did not have much of an advantage in the previous confrontation.
Mu Chen pondered as he softly said, "If I have not guessed incorrectly, there's a high possibility that that fellow is the Numero Uno of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Fang Yi of the Divine Pavilion."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean that you've offended all of the Numero Uno Rankers?" Cai Xiao exclaimed in astonishment, but the ridicule in her eyes could not be concealed.
Mu Chen gritted his teeth as he looked at her. "You're the one who made a move this time!"
"That fellow is too scheming, I don't like him. So I don't want to cooperate with him."
Cai Xiao spread her hands out as she had an indifferent attitude. She did not have any fear just because the previous person was the Numero Ranker of the Dragon-Phoenix Record.
"Up to you."
Mu Chen nodded his head. That white-clothed man had indeed made others feel pressured and Mu Chen wasn't particularly willing to cooperate with him. Although it would be a little troublesome to offend him, Mu Chen had never been afraid of trouble.
Mu Chen's indifferent attitude had also made Cai Xiao a little surprised as she smiled. "I thought that you would be reluctant. After all, I believe that even Liu Yan wouldn't dare to touch you after befriending him."
"If he wants to touch me, he can do so. I'm not afraid of him. Furthermore, I don't make friends to use them as weapons."
Mu Chen lightly smiled. But shortly after, his tone changed as he stared at Cai Xiao with his eyes narrowed. "Furthermore, don't I still have you? That Fang Yi might be formidable, but you might not be any weaker as well."
"I was just admiring you a little earlier …" Cai Xiao rolled her eyes at Mu Chen and ignored him. She turned around and walked out of the street. Mu Chen smiled as he followed after her.
After the two of them left, the space on the roof of a house in the distance distorted, and a figure in white appeared. He looked in the direction in which the two of them left, then lowered his head. There was a faint trace of blood on his finger.
His abstruse eyes flickered as he faintly smiled. Thereafter, he waved his hand and disappeared.
"Just who is that young lady … this Dragon-Phoenix Haven is going to be interesting."
