"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Next, Yang Qi asked some questions about the mysterious strong man, but unfortunately the Phoenix clan knew very little, almost nothing substantial, which made Yang Qi very disappointed.
Seeing that there was no more information about the mysterious strong man, Yang Qi turned his gaze directly to the ruins and asked, "Where is the ruins?"
The ruins were in the Land of Chaos and Darkness, which was known for a long time. However, the area of the Land of Chaos and Darkness was not small. After all, it was once the border area of the three major forces. In terms of the size of the territory, it was even larger than the Blood Soul Sea that Yang Qi had been to. In the Land of Chaos and Darkness, there were many different areas, and different areas represented different levels of danger.
"Emperor Burial Gorge!" Feng Hao said directly.
Emperor Burial Gorge
As soon as these words came out, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. As the name suggests, the Burial Emperor Gorge is the place where the powerful Martial Emperors were buried. To be more precise, it was once the place where countless Martial Emperors fell. It was named because too many Martial Emperors fell there!
In the early days, the three major forces were constantly fighting each other, and the intersection area of the borders of the three major forces, which is now the Land of Chaos and Darkness, has become the place where the fighting is most intense.
The three major forces had fought countless battles in the Chaos Star Sea, and countless practitioners had perished in them. It was said that when the battle was at its most intense, the entire Chaos Star Sea was shrouded in dark red blood mist. The blood mist was not the blood mist of the Blood Soul Sea, but the blood energy that escaped after the death of real flesh and blood creatures. From this, we can imagine how brutal the battle was back then.
Even after countless years, the Burial Emperor Gorge, the place where the war in the Dark Land was most intense, is still not suitable for ordinary practitioners to survive and reproduce, so today the Burial Emperor Gorge has almost become a forbidden area.
Yang Qi never imagined that the location of the ruins was actually the Emperor's Burial Gorge.
“Didn’t the Phoenix Clan investigate the Emperor’s Burial Gorge back then?” Yang Qi said, looking at Feng Hao and the other man in front of him.
"No!"
Feng Hao shook his head slightly, and continued, "We investigated the Dark Land back then, but did not find any information about the mysterious strong man. We also suspected that he was from another star field, so we expanded the search range and did not investigate the Burial Emperor Gorge."
The Burial Emperor Gorge is very special. In addition, the mysterious strong man may have come from other star fields, so the Phoenix clan naturally did not go to the Burial Emperor Gorge to investigate. However, they did not expect that the mysterious strong man may be hiding in the Burial Emperor Gorge. It must be said that the mysterious strong man really knows how to choose a place.
Yang Qi looked at Feng Hao and the other man in front of him, and said hesitantly, "In fact, I have always been a little puzzled. Although the mysterious strong man entered the Phoenix tribe's territory and cut off a section of the fire phoenix tree and took it away, it was indeed a shame for the Phoenix tribe, but it did not cause any substantial harm to the Phoenix tribe. Why would the Phoenix tribe offer such a huge reward for a bounty mission?"
The real reason for the shame of the Phoenix Clan was, to put it bluntly, the mysterious master. If the mysterious master was still alive, the Phoenix Clan's bounty mission could be said to be to find the mysterious master, avenge him, and wash away the shame. However, after so many years, the mysterious master had long since fallen. It was a bit puzzling that such a high reward was given just to find the lost Fire Wutong.
"This is actually no secret among the Phoenix clan's high-level members. The Fire Wutong was still in its infancy back then, and the section of Fire Wutong that was cut off caused a portion of the Fire Wutong's essence to be lost. If we can find that lost section of Fire Wutong, the Fire Wutong may be able to grow further, and then it will be easier for the Phoenix clan members to practice." Feng Hao explained.
I see!
After hearing Feng Hao's explanation, Yang Qi immediately understood why the Phoenix Clan would issue this bounty mission, and even for countless years, they had never given up on finding the lost Fire Wutong. Because the lost Fire Wutong was not only related to the reputation of the Phoenix Clan, but more importantly, it could give the Phoenix Clan a chance to make further progress.
Therefore, although the bounty mission issued by the Phoenix Clan seems to have a huge reward, in fact, the value of that section of fire phoenix tree is worth such a huge reward offered by the Phoenix Clan.
Next, Yang Qi asked some questions about the Fire Wutong tree. Feng Hao and Feng Wei did not hide anything and answered Yang Qi's questions one by one.
After learning more about it, Yang Qi left Feng Hao's cave, but he did not go to the inheritance hall this time. In fact, he had already read almost all the books that could be read in the inheritance. And he would soon go to the dark land, so it would be meaningless to go to the inheritance to read the books. It would be better to digest and absorb the previous gains and turn them into his own strength.
Time passed, and several days went by in a blink of an eye. On this day, Yang Qi was in seclusion, but suddenly he received a message from Feng Wei, informing him to prepare to set off for the dark land.
“So soon?”
After receiving Feng Wei's message, Yang Qi couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. The speed of the Phoenix clan's actions was somewhat beyond his expectations.
You have to know that the territory controlled by the Phoenix Clan is smaller than that of the Dragon Clan, but it is still very vast. The fact that they were able to send practitioners scattered in different areas to their territory within just a few days shows the control and dispatching capabilities of the Phoenix Clan. It also shows how much the Phoenix Clan values this trip to the Dark Land to retrieve the Fire Wutong. In order to send those practitioners here, the Phoenix Clan must have spent a lot of effort.
Knowing the significance of that piece of fire phoenix tree to the Phoenix Clan, Yang Qi naturally would not find it strange. In order to retrieve that piece of fire phoenix tree, the Phoenix Clan would definitely go all out.
Whoosh~
After finishing his retreat, Yang Qi left the cave and rushed to meet Feng Wei and her group.
Flying all the way, Yang Qi soon arrived outside the city and met Feng Wei and her group who had been waiting there. In addition to Feng Wei, there were three other practitioners in the void.
There are three practitioners, one of whom is a five-star Martial Emperor in the early stage, and the other two are like Yang Qi, who are in the early stage of four-star Martial Emperor.
Feng Wei looked at Yang Qi who had arrived and introduced him, "This is Emperor Xu Xing, and these three are Feng Ke, Feng Shen, and Feng Tao."
"My name is Xu Xing, nice to meet you three fellow Taoists." Yang Qi bowed slightly to Feng Ke and the other two.
Emperor Xuxing
After hearing Feng Wei's introduction, Feng Ke and the other two were slightly stunned. Generally speaking, practitioners of the Phoenix bloodline would use Feng as their surname to highlight their identity as practitioners of the Phoenix bloodline. However, Yang Qi was called the Great Emperor Xuxing, which was undoubtedly beyond their expectations.
If they could not feel the fluctuations of the Phoenix bloodline in Yang Qi, they would probably doubt whether Yang Qi in front of them was a cultivator of the Phoenix bloodline
