The scene quickly changed for Yu Tian and the others on the live broadcast as their dark surroundings turned into a street crowded with people.
"…" - Yu Tian stared at the space around him silently for a few seconds and was impressed by the power of the Phoenix Illusion as everything seemed real as he could taste the taste of the air which was extremely real.
[Yun Yun: Is this Teleport? ]
"No, this is an illusion created by Phoenix." Yu Tian shook his head lightly and started walking into the crowd.
[Yueru: This illusion technique is so impressive that even a demon spirit that specializes in illusion couldn't do this.]
"Although the illusion is impressive, it is powered by an Array. A Phoenix Soul Shard shouldn't have enough power to create such an elaborate illusion." Yu Tian chatted with the members of the chat group and quickly entered a nearby restaurant in order to obtain information. .
When he entered, there were many people chatting while eating, but he ignored them and focused on two people who were drinking alcohol and were clearly drunk.
"Hey, can I sit down?" - Yu Tian asked but he had already sat down before he heard the two's answer - "I'm visiting with my family and I want to know more about this city."
"…" Someone stared at Yu Tian sharply, causing the atmosphere at their table to become tense.
"Hahaha... You must be from a merchant family or your family likes to relax," the man said, stroking Yu Tiam's back while drinking.
"Because this city is called Chong Qing City (City of Adventurers," the man said with pride evident in his voice), "this city was built by the City Lord 50 years ago and is now one of the most attractive areas for tourists due to the wonderful scenery and hot springs in addition to "It is famous because of the Adventurers' Guild where many merchants and noble families come to hire adventurers to protect themselves and their goods."
"…" - Yu Tian raised his eyebrows with a little surprise as he did not expect such a thing as an adventurers guild to exist in a world based on Chinese fantasy.
"The Adventurers' Guild includes many farmers, including rogue farmers and farmers from sects and families, and everyone starts with an F rank, as you need higher achievements and cultivation for each rank." - The drunkard said and he and his friend began to explain with a smile. Great as it is clear that they are proud of the city and the Adventurers' Guild - "In addition, the union receives all tasks and the reward is obtained immediately upon submitting evidence of completing the task to the union's reception office."
"…" - Yu Tian and the others in the chat group listened intently as it was interesting how the City Lord had built all of this in just a few years.
The City Lord's name was Ni Yuan, and he was just a rogue cultivar whose origin no one knew. It seemed that he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became famous after defeating all the recognized geniuses.
Ni Yuan possessed great physical strength that overwhelmed all of his opponents. Additionally, his profound energy was incredibly pure and dense, which allowed him to defeat enemies in kingdoms higher than his own.
He seems to specialize in body training, in addition to training in the Profound wind arts.
After becoming famous throughout the continent, Ni Yuan disappeared for a while and reappeared a few years later and built this city and became City Lord.
"Found you, you bastard!" Someone exclaimed as he pointed at Yu Tian.
"Can I help you with something?" Yu Tian said, staring at the person with an unhidden frown.
"You are the bastard who stole my wife!" The person said, his face red with anger and releasing his profound energy.
"…" Yu Tian stared at the person in front of him with a frown and released his profound energy to resist the other person's pressure.
Even though Yu Tian's kingdom was lower than the other person's, he was superior in terms of quality and quantity thanks to his possession of the for Heaven's Secret Art.
"So get out of my face, old man, I don't know who you and your wife are." - Yu Tian was not polite to someone who called him a scoundrel on their first meeting.
"Die!" Without hesitation, the person attacked Yu Tian and tried to snap his neck by using his hand as a claw.
Bzzzzt*
Bzzzzt*
Bzzzzt*
"..." - Yu Tian stared at the person who attacked him and a blue thunder surrounded him and disappeared from his place.
"Cough!!" The person suddenly coughed up some blood and stared at his chest in disbelief.
Yu Tian was not as naive as before as he would kill anyone who tried to kill him without batting an eyelid.
Yu Tian pierced the person's heart and crushed it with his bare hands with an indifferent face.
"Blame yourself, you have wronged yourself, I have no mercy on my enemies." Yu Tian said coldly and withdrew his hand from the person's chest.
"…" - The person stared at Yu Tian in disbelief and his body quickly turned into particles of light and disappeared.
"Murderer!!" - someone nearby exclaimed as he stared at Yu Tian fearfully - "that person killed Tang San!!"
"…" Yu Tian didn't care about others and spread out his wings and flew towards the City Lord's Palace.
This was clearly a form of harassment by the Trial to prevent him from reaching the City Lord.
But unfortunately, this was useless against Yu Tian, who could reach City Lord Palace in a few seconds due to his speed.
Yu Tian's speed was something impossible for anyone else as it was the result of his Cloud Steps as well as his wings.
In less than a minute, Yu Tian was standing in front of the City Lord, who was sitting on his throne and staring at Yu Tian calmly, not seeming surprised by his arrival.
"You are City Lord: Ni Yuan?" Yu Tian asked, but this was clearly more of a statement than a question.
The City Lord was a twenty-year-old man, 182 cm tall. He had long white hair and red eyes, and he looked like Sephiroth from Final Fantasy.
"That's right." - Ni Yuan nodded and slowly got up from his throne and calmly walked towards Yu Tian - "I've been waiting for you, Yu Tian."
"..." - Yu Tian's eyebrow rose in confusion but he quickly ignored the matter as this was the Phoenix Trial and it was no surprise that she was controlling it.
"Even though I have no enmity with you, you must die for me." Yu Tian said calmly, his sword already in his hand.
"…" - Ni Yuan didn't say anything and smiled lightly as he entered a fighting stance as Yu Tian wasted no time and attacked him.
