Vermilion Bird

The noise was like a tidal wave that surged towards him. Zhuowen was shocked to discover that the core of the imperial capital was not far away from him.

At this moment, many ancient martial art practitioners had gathered around the imperial capital. These ancient martial art practitioners were all looking up at the sky with curious expressions. Zhuowen followed the crowd's gaze and also looked up at the sky.

In the sky above the imperial capital, a huge bird covered in flames was flying over. Its beautiful wings were filled with terrifying flames as it soared through the air like a small sun.

"Vermilion Bird?"

Looking at the huge bird in the sky, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. He recognized the origin of this huge bird.

The Vermilion Bird was an extremely terrifying Origin Beast. Its body also contained the bloodline of the ancient Divine Beast, the Phoenix. However, the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird was much less than that of the Fire Bird, so its overall strength was much weaker than that of the Fire Bird.

Even so, a mature Vermilion Bird's strength could reach the level of an ultimate Nine-wheel Emperor. Furthermore, this Vermilion Bird was so huge that it was obviously a mature Vermilion Bird. Its strength was even more terrifying than an ordinary ultimate Nine-wheel Emperor.

Flames burned the sky. Two figures stood on the Vermilion Bird's huge back. One of them was tall and straight like a bamboo pole. He wore a ghost mask and his true appearance could not be seen clearly. However, the aura that he faintly exuded was extremely terrifying. Even Zhuowen could not help but tremble when he looked at him from afar.

This person's strength definitely surpassed Zhuowen's. Otherwise, Zhuowen would not be able to feel such a strong sense of danger from him. This sense of danger caused Zhuowen to tremble uncontrollably.

"This person is too dangerous!"

Narrowing his eyes, Zhuowen looked at the person with the ghost mask on the Vermilion Bird's back. His face was filled with fear. Zhuowen's sense of danger was far stronger than that of ordinary people. He could feel that the person with the ghost mask was extremely terrifying. It was so terrifying that he could not even think of resisting.

The other person on the back of the Zhuowen Bird was a slender and elegant figure. Her figure was slender and graceful, with a light veil wrapped around her body. She was like a pure and holy fairy that had descended to the mortal world. This was a young girl about the same age as Zhuowen.

A pair of bare feet stepped on the back of the Vermilion Bird, forming the shadow of a lotus flower behind her. Zhuo Ya was different. She stood aloof from the world, like a lotus flower rising from the water.

This woman's face was covered by a veil, so it was impossible to see her true appearance. However, the unique temperament that she exuded attracted the gazes of countless cultivators below. This temperament was very unique and also very outstanding. Just by raising her hand, this woman was able to display the most gentle and beautiful feeling. This was a beauty that came from the inside out.

Zhuo Wen's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the beautiful figure that stood out from the crowd. He actually revealed a trace of absent-mindedness. The temperament of this woman's every move was like a drug that firmly attracted him, causing him to be completely addicted and unable to extricate himself.

"What a unique temperament, what an elegant and wonderful person!" Involuntarily, Zhuowen silently praised in his heart.

On top of the Vermilion Bird, the beautiful figure seemed to have felt Zhuowen's gaze. Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and that pair of cold and elegant autumn eyes met with Zhuowen's gaze. Immediately, Zhuowen keenly discovered that this woman's originally cold autumn eyes actually revealed a rare trace of strangeness.

This trace of strangeness was like a stone falling into water, causing waves of ripples on the surface of the water, breaking the calm.

However, this trace of strangeness only lasted for a moment. The ripples in the woman's autumn eyes disappeared, and she regained her calm. She only glanced at Zhuowen indifferently, and then naturally turned her head away.

A clear bird cry resounded through the clouds. The gigantic Vermilion Bird suddenly flew through the air and directly entered the Imperial City. The enormous dragon-shaped Qi above the Imperial City did not obstruct it in the slightest, allowing the Vermilion Bird to enter.

"That pair of eyes … So familiar?

I seem to have seen it somewhere before. "Lowering his head, Zhuowen muttered to himself in deep thought.

Just now, when their eyes met, Zhuowen felt that the gaze of the woman on the Vermilion Bird gave him a feeling of deja vu.

"Is it my imagination?"

Shaking his head, Zhuowen once again gazed deeply in the direction of the Imperial City. He knew that to be able to use the Vermilion Bird as a mount, and to be able to enter the Imperial City so casually, the identities of the two people on the Vermilion Bird were extraordinary.

Throwing away the wild thoughts in his mind, Zhuowen no longer thought about the identities of the two people on the Vermilion Bird. Instead, he found a Martial Warriors on the road, and after asking for directions, he followed the directions of a passerby and headed towards the Drunk Spring Pavilion.

What Zhuowen did not see was that when he turned around to leave, the beautiful figure on the Vermilion Bird that had not yet landed suddenly turned her head slightly. A pair of ink-like beautiful eyes stared closely at Zhuowen's back. A trace of strangeness spread out in her eyes like a tide. Unfortunately, Zhuowen did not notice it at all.

In the center of the Imperial City that was like a huge coiling dragon, there was an extremely large square. This square was filled with hundreds of stone pillars that pierced the sky and the earth. The stone pillars were carved with lifelike dragons that seemed to soar into the sky.

Screech!

A clear bird cry rang out. A gigantic fiery red bird, like a falling meteorite, suddenly stopped in the middle of the square. Its flame-like feathers emitted a frightening light.

At this moment, in the center of the square, a group of people wearing heavy armor and riding Dragon Horses quietly stood in place. This group was the Imperial Guard, and the strong man in front of the group was the Commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Under the command of the Qing Emperor, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Li Jing, respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect. The Qing Emperor is very happy that the Saintess has come to a small place like our Qing Xuan Empire. He has personally arranged a banquet in the Throne Room to welcome the two distinguished guests of the Burning Heaven Sect."

The Commander of the Imperial Guard, Li Jing, was very humble. He was very clear about the strength of the Burning Heaven Sect. It was a powerful existence comparable to the Blue Dragon Hall. Although its sphere of influence was not in the Eastern Land, its strength was so great that it could destroy the Qing Xuan Empire with a wave of its hand.

Now, the Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect was actually willing to come to a small place like the Qing Xuan Empire. How could the Qing Emperor dare to neglect her?

Li Jing was personally instructed by the Qing Emperor. It could be seen how much importance the Qing Emperor attached to this guest.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Qing Emperor!"

A melodious voice like that of a lark came from the Vermilion Bird. Soon after, two figures slowly descended from the Vermilion Bird. The extraordinary woman, whose face was covered by a veil, was quietly floating in the air with bare feet. She was pure and holy like a fairy.

Looking at this woman with an otherworldly temperament, Li Jing was stunned. However, he quickly recovered and quickly lowered his head, saying, "It's no trouble at all!

The Qing Emperor said that this is his honor. Please follow me to the Throne Room! "

"Then I'll have to trouble you. Lead the way!" The woman chuckled and said indifferently.

Li Jing cupped his hands and led the way with a straight figure. They walked along the red carpet in the square toward the huge Throne Room. The Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect and the man with the ghost mask slowly followed behind Li Jing.

At the entrance of the Throne Room, Li Jing humbly saluted and said, "Please come in!

I'm not qualified to enter the Throne Room, so I can only send you here. "

The two nodded. Immediately, the Saintess glanced at the man with the ghost mask beside her and said softly, "Elder Qiu!"

The man with the ghost mask nodded, but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. He suddenly stomped his feet and a terrifying aura burst out. It soared into the sky like a pillar that held up the sky. The Dragon Qi above the Imperial City was affected by this aura and roared in horror.

"Qing Emperor!

Since when did you have such a big reputation?

We've already arrived at the Throne Room. Are you still going to hide inside? "The man with the ghost mask said coldly.

Li Jing, who was not far away, looked at the terrifying aura of the man with the ghost mask and trembled. This man was too terrifying. Just this aura alone made him feel a terrifying sense of oppression. Even the Dragon Qi of the Qing Emperor was shaken by this aura.

Only an Emperor Power Realm warrior with similar strength as the Qing Emperor could do this. He knew that the man with the ghost mask was actually an Emperor Power Realm warrior who was no weaker than the Qing Emperor.

"Haha!

Please don't be angry. I was dealing with some matters just now, so I neglected you. I hope you don't take it to heart. "

A hearty laughter burst out from the Throne Room like rolling thunder. Immediately, a green figure slowly walked out from the Throne Room. His aura was as terrifying as the sun, the moon, and the stars.

The green figure slowly walked out, surrounded by green Qi. This man looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. His face was white and he had no facial hair. His eyes were like bright moons and stars. The green Qi around him transformed into many green dragons. The green dragons crawled under his feet as if he was stepping on thousands of dragons. He looked down on the world like a deity.

This man was the highest leader of the Qing Xuan Empire. He was the number one expert and the guardian of the Imperial City. He was the only terrifying expert who had reached the Emperor Realm in the Qing Xuan Empire.

The man with the ghost mask squinted his eyes and stared at the high-spirited Qing Emperor. He said indifferently, "I didn't expect a peerless figure like you to appear in such a small place like the Qing Xuan Empire. If I am not wrong, you should have reached the Second Heaven Emperor Realm."

The corner of Cyan Emperor's mouth held a smile as he said, "You should be Burning Sky Sect's Elder Fen Jue, Qiu Yan, right? As expected of an expert at the second level of the Emperor Realm, to actually be able to see through this emperor's cultivation realm with a single glance.

"You flatter me!

You are quite talented to be able to reach the Second Heaven Emperor Realm in such a small place. My lady and I have come without notice. You will welcome us, right? "Qiu Yan said indifferently.

"Haha!

Elder Qiu, you must be joking. It is my honor to have the two of you here. Come in!

I have already prepared a banquet for the two of you in the Throne Room. Come in quickly! "

The Qing Emperor was very enthusiastic. Qiu Yan and the Holy Maiden nodded and followed the Qing Emperor into the Throne Room. There were many banquets in the Throne Room. There were many people sitting at the banquets and most of them were the upper echelons of the Imperial Family.
