Chapter 869: Chapter 534: Ghost Venerable and Phoenix Maiden Rivalry (Part 2)

"Boom————"

As they spoke, something drilled out from underground.

Someone’s Demon Qi instantly expanded, transforming into their true form, and looked warily.

But someone quickly stopped them.

"Wait, no need to rush."

"This is a specialty from Ghost Ridge, the Earth Cave Ghost Worm, likely a mutated product of the Earth Cave Worm."

"These Earth Cave Worms are very docile and will lead us to Ghost Ridge City."

Someone curiously touched the cold yet smooth and dry skin of the Earth Cave Worm.

"It’s rather different from the Earth Cave Worms I remember."

"Since Houtu created Netherworld, Ghost Dao has been flourishing."

"In our Demon Race, some bloodline species allied with Ghost Dao have risen with it, and many Demon Race bloodlines can fuse with the characteristics of ghostly creatures, becoming entirely new products."

Though the speaker was dressed as a Demon Race, they looked more like a scholar of the Human Race.

Knowledgeable and calm.

"Master, can we really?"

They mounted the Earth Cave Worm.

Seeing the terrifying decaying figures passing by, even though they’ve gone through much, they felt a tinge of fear in their hearts; someone uttered this with some trepidation.

The person called Master was observing the environment.

"What kind of technique is this that can draw out the fear in Cultivators’ hearts..."

"This time, we’re inviting the Ghost King to come forth."

"Can we really... Apart from that Chief Manager Yu of Ghost Ridge City, no one has ever connected with the Ghost King."

"Let alone invite him out."

"It’s rumored that Chief Manager doesn’t like fighting."

Someone beside them worried.

But the Master shook his head.

"Everything has its stakes."

"Perhaps I’ve brought enough stakes this time."

......................

Central Domain Phoenix Clan.

"This generation’s Phoenix Maiden pre-selection is confirmed."

"Cyan Simurgh Clan, Biran."

"True Phoenix Lineage, Fengy Hongyu."

The old woman’s voice echoed through the skies.

On the high podium.

The two women faced each other.

One wore a blue frosty garment, like a flower on a lofty peak, or like an icy mountain snow summit.

One wore a fiery garment, radiant as a flower, with golden, luxurious accessories.

"Biran, I didn’t expect you to stand before me."

Fengy Hongyu calmly looked at Biran.

Biran didn’t reply, simply snorted then left.

Fengy Hongyu’s eyes showed a hint of anger.

In the air were representatives from various clans attending the ceremony.

And what’s surprising is the humans beside the Dragon Race.

"I support Miss Hongyu."

"Biran, this little girl is cold; I don’t like her."

A young man in luxurious clothes from the Dragon Race, embracing two women as beautiful as blossoms, laughed while commenting on the two from the Phoenix Clan.

But soon, he received a punch on the head.

"Shut up."

Looking, it was a blue-clothed woman.

"These are two Celestial Pride true disciples from the Phoenix Clan. Even if there’s only one Phoenix Maiden, the other’s achievements might not be inferior to yours."

"If you indulge your tongue here and get caught by the Phoenix Clan, I won’t care."

"Got it, sister," the young Dragon Race man obediently said.

He was Ao Bin, the Sixth Prince of the Starry Sea Dragon Palace.

Yet, as a True Dragon, his talent wasn’t very high.

He’s considered at the lower end of True Dragons, still not stepping into Celestial Demon at a thousand years old.

However, Ao Bin instead favored the Dual Cultivation Path.

As Human Race cultivation civilization flourished.

He joined the Hundred Skills of Cultivation to study Dual Cultivation Path.

The Star Sea Cultivation Council had established a directory of Demonic Secret Techniques, but monitored them significantly.

Because if some Demon Dao deviates, it becomes an Evil Path.

And the Evil Path is more detrimental than beneficial to the entire cultivation civilization.

Though the Dual Cultivation Path is somewhat special.

There’s already talk of capturing Yin to supplement Yang, capturing Yang to supplement Yin, using superior Furnace Cauldrons to repair oneself.

Yet there’s also the Dual Cultivation Technique hugely beneficial to both Yin and Yang sides.

So True Dragon Ao Bin kept studying Dual Cultivation Technique.

Also having a vast harem, becoming an eccentric figure in the Starry Sea Dragon Palace.

This era.

Though Dragon Veins spread among various races.

True Dragons needed to purify their bloodlines, storing essence for the purity of the next generation’s bloodline.

True Dragons with sprawling branches were rare.

Unlike the later saying that dragons inherently lecherous, spreading seeds worldwide.

Only time will tell after True Dragon Ao Bin.

Dragon King could only rage impotently, then acquiesce, letting this rebellious son be.

As the Dragon Race evaluated the Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix Clan secretly observed the Dragon Race.

"That Starry Sea Dragon Palace is unique."

"But the humans beside them are more unique."

Beside the Dragon Race.

Were seven or eight cultivators.

These cultivators either had their eyes slightly closed or stared forward.

Extremely low-key.

Yet everyone could perceive the powerful force on them.

Clearly, their vitality was far less powerful than High-Tier Demon Cultivators of the same level.

But in a fight, none of the high-bloodline Demon Cultivators present could guarantee surviving in a duel against them.

Fengy Hongyu’s eyes flickered with peculiar light.

"The Human Race has no small potential."

"Star Sea... with the Star Sea Dragon Palace as an example, it might be a good idea to ally with them."

"Rumors say, the Hundred Skills of Cultivation of Star Sea humans has various wonders, maybe I can use them."

On the other side.

Biran frowned looking at the human group.

As a Phoenix Clan member who climbed up from the bottom.

She held deep disdain for lower-tier races.

"Humans, without even a Great Saint, what’s the point in allying."

Biran’s eyes also flickered with a light similar to Fengy Hongyu’s.

"Rather than investing in the Human Race, I’d choose the Ghost Race."

"The uniqueness of the Ghost Race itself represents its strength."

"But that True Dragon..."

Biran looked at the Dragon Race woman dressed similarly to her.

It’s a True Dragon, yet carried an aura slightly familiar to Biran.

It was the aura of Netherworld.

"Is she the protagonist of that big news from centuries ago."

Biran recalled the Netherworld-infused Dragon Race internal conflict incident in the Demon Realm.

A True Dragon who gained Netherworld power because of Houtu.

A Sword God of the Human Race shattering the strongest Celestial Demon body of the True Dragon with a sword slash.

In the current grand environment, it’s quite difficult for Demon Cultivators to step into Netherworld, and high-tier Demon Cultivators with Netherworld Power might only be this person here.

"Other Dragon Palaces sent only one True Dragon Envoy, but Star Sea sent two, perhaps there’s something more."

Biran and Fengy Hongyu both had this thought flash in their minds.

Both almost simultaneously stepped forward.

Yet both noticed each other.

Biran snorted coldly, glanced at Fengy Hongyu icily, then left.

Not many knew her alliance with Zhao Fu, though that Third Dragon Princess held Netherworld’s aura, she didn’t need to probe now.

Fengy Hongyu watched Biran leave coldly.

Then went up to chat.

There’s gunpowder between the two women, as True Dragon Ao Bin rubbed his head innocently.

......

"Reply to Senior Sister."

"Ao Bin seems to be here to propose, seeking a Phoenix Clan woman as a Dao Companion."

"Seems to study some Human Race’s Dual Cultivation Technique."

After thoroughly understanding the related technique.

Biran’s face blushed, then returned to normal, she snorted.

"Nonsense!"

But Biran didn’t say much more.

Marriage between great clans was common.

"As for those humans, they seem just here to see the world, and they’ve traded substantial resources."

"Miss Hongyu gave them many advantages as well."

"Star Sea Dragon Race truly wealthy, even with Demon Countries nearby fighting to death, they’ve developed such trade."

"Seems Fengy Hongyu wants to befriend the Human Race." Biran sneered.

"I haven’t caught up with my friend in a while."

"Prepare a gift."

"I want to head south, to Five Mountains Demon Kingdom."
