Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 211: Chapter 209: Phoenix Perch Mist (The Sixth Update!)

Another ten days had passed.

On this day, Su Han and his companions set out for Phoenix Perch Mist.

Phoenix Perch Mist was located in the central-western part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, beyond the borders of Dongling Kingdom, within the jurisdiction of Illusion Sun Kingdom. It was nearly a hundred million miles from Yunyang County City. Even for Su Han and his group, it would take them close to half a month to travel there.

From this, one could see the benefits of a teleportation formation.

If there was a teleportation formation, one could arrive within a day.

…

Half a month later, Su Han and the four others arrived at Famous Peak County City, looking travel-worn.

Famous Peak County City was the closest to Twilight Mountain, a county city under the control of Illusion Sun Kingdom, about the same size as Yunyang County City.

By the time Su Han and his companions arrived, Famous Peak County City was already bustling with people.

On the streets and in the alleys, everyone was talking about the ‘Gate of Deer Chasing.’

The Gate of Deer Chasing was no secret – the entire Dragon Martial Continent knew about it, but only the younger generation from grand powers could enter, and they had to be invited by Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

“There really are a lot of people here,” Shangguan Mingxin said, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. “Looking at this hustle and bustle, I’m afraid it’s several times more crowded than Yunyang County City, right?”

“Hong Yu, don’t wander off,” Lian Yuze called out helplessly.

Hong Yu could be seen running from one stall to another, looking but not buying anything, as if she was extremely curious.

“From here to Twilight Mountain, it’s only a three-day journey. We can rest here for two days,” Su Han said with a smile.

“Then I’m going to go… take a look first!”

Liuu Feng chuckled and, under the stunned gazes of Su Han and the others, entered the nearby Mandarin Duck Pavilion.

The Mandarin Duck Pavilion was five stories high, with gorgeously dressed women on top, waving their handkerchiefs and giving flirtatious looks to the men passing by below.

“What the heck, he actually went to that kind of place,” Shangguan Mingxin muttered with a pout.

“Do you want to go?” Su Han asked Lian Yuze with a smile.

“I…”

Just as Lian Yuze was about to speak, Hong Yu raised her eyebrows and challenged, “You dare?!”

“I, I’d better not go… I mean, I’m definitely not going. I have no interest in that kind of place!” Lian Yuze exclaimed loudly.

“Hmph.”

Hong Yu snorted and said nothing more.

Looking at Hong Yu and then at Lian Yuze, Su Han thought to himself that there seemed to be something going on between the two.

“Wow, the First Elder of God-Slaying Pavilion is actually managed like this by Sister Hong Yu. If this got back to God-Slaying Pavilion, wouldn’t people die laughing?” Shangguan Mingxin laughed behind her hand.

“I didn’t manage him,” said Hong Yu with a flushed cheek.

“It’s my own decision not to go there. What kind of place is that? Only Liuu Feng would go. I would never join him in such disgraceful collusion,” Lian Yuze said righteously.

“Now why do I believe you?” Shangguan Mingxin continued to tease.

…

And so, the group settled down in Famous Peak County City. ℯℯ𝑙.

In the days that followed, they frequently saw members of grand powers arriving.

Their appearances were always extraordinary. Even though Famous Peak County City was already bustling and crowded, whenever they arrived, there would immediately be a path cleared for them, as people were eager to avoid any provocation.

What a joke – these were true grand powers, not at all comparable to those ninth-rate or eighth-rate sects.

Although they currently do not know which powers those people belong to, it is best not to offend them, for fear of making an unwitting enemy of a super sect and having nowhere to cry.

“This Famous Peak County City seems bustling on the surface, but underneath, there are turbulent undercurrents!”

Su Han stood by the window, looking through it as a large crowd of people departed.

In the center of that crowd was a carriage.

The carriage might have been ordinary, but the creature pulling it was definitely not a horse. It was a single-horned demon beast, ten meters long and immensely imposing.

The demon beast was majestic and the fierce aura it exuded forced the people within several meters to retreat immediately.

This was a fifth-order demon beast—a Dragon-Eye Beast.

It was said that the Dragon-Eye Beast possessed a trace of giant dragon bloodline, a hybrid of a dragon and other demon beasts, with a large crack where its brow would be—the location of the dragon eye.

However, this dragon eye was usually closed, only to reveal a dragon chant when opened.

“To actually use a Dragon-Eye Beast to pull the carriage, this power must be extremely terrifying!” exclaimed Lian Yuze at his side.

A fifth-order cultivation base was equivalent to the Dragon God Realm of humans, and with the innate talent of a Dragon-Eye Beast, it could be considered invincible when the dragon eye was open.

“What’s this? The power that came riding on a Golden-Winged Roc Bird before was even more terrifying.”

Shangguan Mingxin said, “The Pavilion Master mentioned that even though the Golden-Winged Roc Bird is also fifth order, it definitely reached the peak of fifth order, making even the human Dragon Emperor Realm step aside from its edge.”

“What treasures exactly are inside the Gate of Deer Chasing, to attract so many grand powers to participate?” Liuu Feng whispered.

“Why not go in and see for ourselves?”

Su Han smiled slightly, “Everyone make sure to stabilize your cultivation base properly. Tomorrow we set off for Twilight Mountain.”

“Hmm.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

…

The following morning, after having disguised themselves, they set out early.

There were simply too many grand powers, and if they were a grand power, they would inevitably be exceedingly arrogant, or simply put, boastful.

With the personalities of Su Han and his group, they could not tolerate such arrogance and would likely offend them.

This was the reason for the disguises.

It seemed that since last midnight, the number of people in Famous Peak County City had greatly decreased, and by now, the crowded scenes had vanished completely, the streets were deserted, with hardly any voices to be heard.

Clearly, these people had also set off for Phoenix Perch Mist.

Every time the Gate of Deer Chasing opened, it drew a large crowd. People living nearby would seize the chance to witness the grandeur of the super powers.

Although they were not qualified to enter the Gate of Deer Chasing, it was still good to have a look at it.

When Su Han and his group arrived at Phoenix Perch Mist, the place was indeed overcrowded.

Phoenix Perch Mist was under the jurisdiction of the Illusion Sun Kingdom, but spread across the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Normally, it would be rife with demon beasts lurking around.

But now, there were no beasts to be seen, only a dense crowd of people.

“Myriad Treasures Pavilion really has deep pockets!”

“Phoenix Perch Mist is a nesting ground for both fourth and fifth-order demon beasts, and yet all of them have been cleared out by Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Truly, their strength is formidable!” Lian Yuze exclaimed in admiration.

“Although the Gate of Deer Chasing is opened by Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they also need to ensure the security of this area, and at the same time, use this opportunity to demonstrate the strength of Myriad Treasures Pavilion to the world,” Su Han said indifferently.

Legend has it that Phoenix Perch Mist was originally unnamed, but during the Ancient Era, a phoenix rested here and as time passed, the place came to be known as ‘Phoenix Perch Mist’.

“Let’s head up.”

Su Han looked up, gazing at the indescribably massive platform about halfway up the mountain.
