The shock in Yin Zhaoxian's heart was far greater than that of anyone else present. He realized where he was at the first moment. It was exactly in the book he wrote. This was not only due to the surrounding environment, but also a kind of spontaneous induction. Combined with the previous books, he understood the situation.
"Master Yin, this is what you think in your heart."
Ji Yuan's voice rang in Yin Zhaoxian's ears, and the old dragon and the dragon girl on one side had slowly squeezed through the crowd and walked over. With the power of a real dragon, even if they themselves did not make any moves, the pedestrians around them would subconsciously avoid them.
At this moment, the old dragon, the dragon girl, the mother dragon, and the dragon son could not hide the surprise on their faces. Compared with the guests, they knew some inside information, but they did not expect it to be so shocking.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ji to have such an amazing skill. So, it's not surprising that he killed the nine-tailed fox in his drunken dream."
"So Mr. Ying already knew about it?"
"I didn't know it at first, but it was Zao Niang who told Ruoli."
After saying this, the old dragon sent a message to all the guests in the Dragon Palace, stating the current situation in as calm a tone as possible, at least so that the guests would not hear how shocked he was.
"Dear Dragon Lords and guests, we are not teleported to some human city outside the Dragon Palace, but in a book that some of you may have read. It is Theory of Birds by Dazhen Yin Gong."
After hearing what Lao Long said, all the guests became even more shocked, and those who were close to each other began to talk in low voices.
"In the book?" "Dongtian?"
"How can it be!"
"'The Birds'? Why are there people everywhere?"
“Is this person around real or fake?”
Some of the water creatures were talking in horror, but they saw that some of the people passing by were looking at them with strange eyes, but they didn't say much and continued to follow the direction of the prison van.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the long line of prisoner cars finally passed by. Some of the common people were still chasing and cursing, while others dispersed. There were thousands of guests in the Dragon Palace, a small number of whom were located on this main street, and most of them were scattered throughout the city.
Most of them were still shocked by the somewhat absurd statements they had read in the book. The surrounding scenery and people couldn't be more real. There were even water creatures following the indignant people to chase the prison van. Observing everyone's reactions and feeling everyone's aura, they were undoubtedly real living people and it was definitely not an illusion.
But no matter how much they refused to accept it, the facts were right in front of them and they could not refute them for the time being. Instead, some people remembered the main purpose of this trip.
"Are Madam Ying and Mr. Ji fighting here?"
"Yes, this is in the city... Even if it may be in a book..."
"Yes, these people are too real. If the fight spreads to this city, I'm afraid we won't be able to save it."
Ji Yuan smiled and sent a message directly to the guests from the Dragon Palace in various parts of the city.
"Everyone, please be patient. It will be night here in just over an hour. It is the time for the chapter "Night Tour". There will be phoenixes flying in the sky, and people will be fighting against evil below. At that time, we can also see the appearance of this real phoenix, and then go to the sea together to fight in the vast ocean."
Having said this, Ji Yuan paused and continued.
"You can go around now, either inside or outside the city. As long as it's not too far away, we will definitely see the phoenix birds parading at night. Please do as you please. By the way, please don't harm the people in the city. Although they are in the book, they are also sentient beings at this moment."
After saying this, Ji Yuan waved to Hu Yun, who was a little further away and looked confused. The latter was holding a wooden basin full of water, and walked towards Ji Yuan together with Bai Qi and Lao Gui.
Everyone looked in the basin and saw a small green fish in the water. Needless to say, they knew who it was.
Ji Yuan extended his hand to invite everyone forward. There were quite a lot of people in their group. The envoys from Dazhen were all there, and several people from the Ying family and a small number of guests followed. There were dozens of people in total, and they all finally walked towards a restaurant that didn't seem to have many customers.
The restaurant owner was lying on the counter bored and in a daze, when he suddenly saw so many well-dressed people coming in, and almost all of them had extraordinary demeanor. He was immediately cheered up and hurried out to greet the guests together with the waiter.
"Dear guests, please come in. There are elegant seats by the window upstairs. The best seats are all empty. Please invite the guests upstairs quickly. We will treat you with good tea and water~~~"
"Yes, yes, please come in, and tell me what you would like to order..."
The shopkeeper and the waiters worked hard to attract customers, and they responded attentively to whatever the customers said or asked. Only after everyone was served upstairs, seated, and ordered food and drinks did the waiters breathe a sigh of relief.
When the waiter went downstairs, the shopkeeper was looking at the direction of the stairs, and waved to them when he saw them coming down.
"How about it?"
"Don't worry, boss. Please sit down. They are all big money sponsors. They are very generous. They have ordered good wine and food. This is the deposit!"
A waiter spread out his palm, revealing a gold ingot on it with a little imprint on it, obviously the waiter had tried it.
The shopkeeper quickly took it and weighed it, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum. When he saw the waiters looking at him, his face immediately turned stern.
"Hurry up and tell the kitchen!"
"Yes, yes!" "I'll go right away!"
There were originally only two tables of people eating on the second floor, but now most of the people were seated. In the eyes of the original two tables of six people, the eight newly seated tables all looked like dignitaries or celebrities. They suddenly felt extremely awkward and soon finished their meal quickly, paid the bill and left.
Soon, some food and wine that could be quickly served were brought in, but the guests were still lamenting their own situations. Like other guests scattered around the city, they had been observing carefully during this period, and comparing the details in the book with those who knew "On the Birds", from the country to the background, and the conclusions they came to were exactly the same.
"I didn't expect that there is such a magic in the world. Although Mr. Ji said that we didn't enter the book in our true bodies, I couldn't detect it at all."
An old dragon looked at his arm, feeling the magic power in it, then looked at the streets and pedestrians outside the window. It was as if he was in a different world.
"Brother, what you said is absolutely right. Even the feeling of the food and wine in my mouth is the same."
"Everyone, please stop talking. It's getting dark. If it's really as the book says, there will be a phoenix flying at night tonight. It should symbolize that the filth in this area has been swept away and the world has been restored to purity. Lord Yin, do you think this is the correct interpretation?"
Hearing someone asking the question, Yin Zhaoxian smiled and nodded to the person who was speaking.
“That’s exactly the answer.”
"Mr. Ji, how did the phoenix come into this world? Was it all due to your magic power?"
Ji Yuan shook his head.
"The wonders here are actually beyond my comprehension. I only know that I am indeed extraordinary in this world, but it is definitely not just my power that can bring this world to life. When you see the True Phoenix Dan Ye, you will know that this is true."
"Dan Ye?"
Yin Zhaoxian looked thoughtful when he heard this, because he had never given a name to the phoenix in his books.
Ji Yuan nodded, looked at the sky outside the window, and said lightly.
"The stars have appeared, and night is about to fall."
The sky seemed to be getting dark very quickly, and the many guests of the Dragon Transformation Banquet who were in the city or already outside the city focused their attention on the sky.
About half an hour after nightfall, the night sky in the distance was suddenly illuminated by colorful clouds, and a very pleasant cry came from afar, like the sound of a flute from nature.
“Sob~~~~~~clang~~~~~~~~”
The sound is extremely penetrating. Even if the listener knows that the sound source is still very far away, it can still be heard very clearly and not at all harsh.
Soon, the colorful light became more and more conspicuous, illuminating a large area of the sky. The mortals who noticed the light gradually walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky, and the guests in the Dragon Palace did the same.
Everyone raised their eyes to the distant sky and saw a beautiful divine bird shrouded in colorful clouds, with a flowing tail, five-colored wings spread out, and a divine light on its head. It was flying from afar. Before the divine bird arrived, thousands of auspicious auras had already swept across the sky.
“Phoenix…” “It’s really a phoenix!”
"Mr. Ji really didn't deceive us..."
The guests in the Dragon Palace were all staring blankly at the divine bird approaching in the distance, while the surrounding common people had come to their senses after their exclamations. Most of the people seen in the sky were kneeling and worshiping the sky, and the standing guests in the Dragon Palace looked extremely awkward.
The phoenix in the sky was approaching, and even lowered its altitude a bit, staring intently at a city below.
“clang~~~~~~~”
This time the sound seemed to pierce through metal and stone, and was extremely harsh to the ears of Ji Yuan and others, causing most of the guests to frown slightly, but most of them also met Fenghuang's scrutiny that was clearly directed at them.
However, the phoenix did not stop there, but gradually flew away, dragging its colorful light.
At this moment, Ji Yuan sent a message to all the guests.
"Everyone, let's chase the phoenix now."
After saying that, Ji Yuan cast a spell to bring up many envoys of Dazhen. The people around him also cast a spell at the same time, and they flew into the sky together. At this moment, the guests from the Dragon Palace in various parts of the city also performed their own flying techniques. Thousands of magic lights rose up like retrograde meteors, shocking countless people who were still worshiping the phoenix and making them stay where they were.
The flying speed of the phoenix was beyond imagination. Ji Yuan and others had to frequently use their magic power to catch up with the real phoenix after a long time. The latter looked back and saw so many lights chasing after them, but did not react much. However, he was actually very attentive to the whereabouts of several real dragons. He had only seen flood dragons in his life, but the rolling dragon energy on those people was too shocking, which made the real phoenix wonder if they were the legendary real dragons.
Of course, Zhen Feng also cared about Yin Zhaoxian's righteous spirit, but at most, like Zhen Long, he did not see anything special about the author. When he saw Ji Yuan, he was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of doubt and thought in Zhen Feng's eyes, and his speed gradually slowed down.
Originally, Ji Yuan didn't have any other ideas, but the way Dan Ye looked at him at this moment clearly showed that he still had an impression of him. This made Ji Yuan also feel surprised. He thought that the two bird worlds he transformed into through his spell were completely unrelated, but now he had the idea of trying to confirm it.
Ji Yuan stepped on the Dharma Cloud and approached the phoenix dragging colorful rays of light, and bowed to it first.
"Fellow Daoist Dan Ye, we meet again. This time I want to borrow the treasure to fight with the real dragon. I hope you can help me."
"Is there really a real dragon..."
Zhen Feng hummed softly, her words were very beautiful, then she looked at Ji Yuan and said.
"You know my name? For some reason, I seem to have seen you before, but I can't remember where, let alone who you are..."
Ji Yuan's heart moved. Sure enough, Phoenix Dan Ye had such a feeling. You know, the last time he brought Hu Yun and the Nine-tailed Yuan Ling in, he was directly on the sea. Even if the two times were in the same world in the book, the last time should have been after "Night Tour".
"Fellow Daoist Ye Dan, Ji Yuan has indeed met you. I have also heard your singing and seen your dancing, but I am not sure whether it was in this world. By the way, after that day, Ji left. I wrote a song as you asked, but I have not found a successor yet."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan took out a book from his sleeve, and the cover of the book was inscribed with "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".
At this moment, a tingling sensation like a beating electric current passed through Zhen Feng's body. His mind was in a trance, as if he could vaguely see that day, the man in white clothes standing on the phoenix tree, singing and dancing...
The True Phoenix Dan Ye stopped and hovered in the air. Thousands of lights behind it also stopped a little further away. In their eyes, the phoenix spread one wing in the air and bent the other wing in front of its body, performing a graceful unknown etiquette to Ji Yuan in the colorful light.
"So it's Mr. Ji. It's Dan Ye's honor to see you again. Can you lend me this book?"
"I just felt inspired by your song, so what's wrong with that?"
Ji Yuan threw the book to Dan Ye, who carefully caught it on his feet and then spoke behind him in a loud and beautiful voice.
"Everyone, please follow me to the sea, sobbing~~~~~~clang~~~~~~~"
Colorful rays of light continued to spread from the phoenix, soon enveloping everyone. Then the phoenix spread its wings, and a ray of light moved with the divine bird, and in an instant it was at the horizon.
