Chapter 327 Heavenly Demon City

"No!"

Scorching crimson flames engulfed Lie Yu's entire body. His face was burnt to a bloody mess, and he rolled repeatedly on the ground, emitting piercing screams.

He wanted to retrieve the previously acquired Jade Spirit Bottle to absorb the flames, but in his haste, he brought out the wrong item, which Feng Jin Yao snatched away and crushed.

"How dare you injure the Young Sect Master!" two elders from the Beast Taming Sect, enraged, flew towards them.

Two powerful auras at the Saint Emperor level erupted instantly, causing the surrounding terrain to tremble!

"You won't succeed!"

Feng Hao Cang immediately reverted to his Undying Phoenix form, fanning his scorching flames to meet the attack!

However, the Golden Emperor Lion and the Wind Cang Wolf, both Saint-level spirit beasts, would not allow him to have his way so easily.

"Damn it, get lost!"

Both of the Beast Taming Sect's contracted spirit beasts were at the four-star Saint Emperor level. Feng Hao Cang couldn't defeat them quickly.

Only then did the two Beast Taming Sect elders dare to attack Xin Ci and the others without restraint.

However, Xin Ci merely glanced at them indifferently and struck forward with his palm.

A colossal Immortal Golden Dragon Claw, solidified by true essence, descended from the sky, slamming the two Beast Taming Sect elders to the ground. The earth rumbled with a tremendous sound, causing violent tremors.

After the grand display of power, a massive golden dragon claw print appeared on the ground. The two Beast Taming Sect elders foamed at the mouth, their bones shattered.

Both Feng Hao Cang and Feng Jin Yao were stunned.

In their eyes, the strength of this Immortal Golden Dragon senior was terrifying. With a single palm strike, he had instantly killed two human Saint Emperors.

Meanwhile, Lie Yu, under the terrifying high temperature of the Undying Phoenix Flame, could no longer endure. His body was reduced to ashes by the flames.

Feng Jin Yao quickly approached the carriage and used the Undying Phoenix Flame to incinerate the cage, rescuing the injured Undying Phoenix.

Since the trouble was resolved, Xin Ci didn't need to stay any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, Feng Jin Yao suddenly called out to him.

"Esteemed Immortal Golden Dragon senior, please wait a moment."

"Is there something else?"

"No, it's just that you helped us, so naturally, we should thank you properly."

"No need," Xin Ci replied calmly.

For some reason, looking at the man before her, Feng Jin Yao felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had met him somewhere before.

Mu Qing Qing, within the consciousness space, saw Feng Jin Yao staring at Xin Ci with some hesitation and couldn't help but worry, "Will Feng Jin Yao recognize us?"

Back at Fengming Mountain, she had met her in female form, and Feng Jin Yao had never seen Xin Ci's true appearance.

Moreover, Xin Ci had now replaced his bloodline with Immortal Golden Dragon blood and cultivated the supreme true meaning of the Immortal Golden Dragon clan, the Golden Scale Art. His human aura had long been concealed by the Immortal Golden Dragon aura.

Just then, Feng Hao Cang stepped forward and respectfully asked Xin Ci, "Esteemed Immortal Golden Dragon senior, are you returning to the Beast God Valley next?"

"Yes," Xin Ci replied lightly.

"If you are returning to the Beast God Valley, the two of us can escort you part of the way, as a token of our gratitude for your assistance earlier," Feng Hao Cang said with a smile.

Xin Ci hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Very well, I shall trouble you both."

Considering the beast essence restriction of the Beast God Valley, Xin Ci did not dare to enter it carelessly.

Since Feng Jin Yao and the others were willing to take him to the Beast God Valley, he decided to go with the flow and see how they entered.

Seeing Xin Ci agree, Feng Jin Yao and Feng Hao Cang couldn't help but show a hint of pleasant surprise.

With the presence of this Immortal Golden Dragon senior, they would not fear being intercepted by human powerhouses on the way.

Soon, the three of them were sitting in the Beast Taming Sect's carriage and arrived at a ten-thousand-zhang cliff outside the Beast God Valley.

The injured Undying Phoenix rescued earlier had now transformed into a lively and cute red-haired little girl, cradled by Feng Jin Yao.

Under Feng Jin Yao's treatment, the little girl's injuries had improved somewhat, but she was still unconscious.

To care for her, Xin Ci and the others had no choice but to take the Beast Taming Sect's carriage to the Beast God Valley.

Looking at the ten-thousand-zhang cliff before them, Xin Ci frowned slightly.

The Beast God Valley was not only protected by a beast essence restriction but also isolated by its natural terrain.

The Beast God Valley lay on the other side of the cliff face, separated by over ten miles.

Furthermore, due to the influence of the barrier set by the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors, any race that approached this area was unable to fly using true essence.

"Senior Xin Ci, the Beast God Valley is just ahead," Feng Hao Cang said, pointing towards the other side of the ten-thousand-zhang cliff.

Looking at the Beast God Valley on the opposite side, shrouded by the beast essence restriction, a hint of hesitation flickered in Xin Ci's eyes.

However, to avoid revealing anything to Feng Jin Yao and Feng Hao Cang, he silently nodded with composure.

Feng Jin Yao and Feng Hao Cang did not notice Xin Ci's abnormality, merely finding him somewhat aloof and disinclined to speak.

But given that this man was a senior from the Immortal Golden Dragon clan, they didn't find anything amiss.

Just as they approached the cliff, the beast essence restriction outside the Beast God Valley suddenly mutated!

A gap suddenly appeared in the beast essence restriction that had previously enveloped the entire Beast God Valley.

Golden streams of light flowed out from this gap, transforming into a bridge of spiritual light that connected to this side of the cliff.

This scene surprised Xin Ci slightly, but he remained impassive and followed Feng Jin Yao and Feng Hao Cang onto the bridge of spiritual light.

As they passed through the beast essence restriction, Xin Ci inwardly breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that the Immortal Golden Dragon blood within him had indeed played its part, not being recognized as human by the beast essence restriction.

However, shortly after Xin Ci and the others entered the Beast God Valley, the beast essence restriction flickered slightly before returning to its calm state.

This minor anomaly did not attract Xin Ci's attention.

...

Upon entering the Beast God Valley, they were greeted by an endless expanse of primeval forest.

Various powerful demonic beasts roamed within the forest, their numbers far exceeding those seen in the mountain ranges outside.

Xin Ci attempted to scan the area with his soul power; the primeval forest was far more vast than he had imagined.

Mu Qing Qing, within the consciousness space, explained to him, "The Beast God Valley is a territory opened by the Ancient Dragon Ancestor. Its size is comparable to a continent. We are currently in the Myriad Beasts Forest of the Beast God Valley."

"Beyond this Myriad Beasts Forest lies the main city of the Beast God Valley, Heavenly Demon City."

The Myriad Beasts Forest had been protected by the Ancient Dragon Ancestor, resulting in exceptionally dense spiritual energy and the growth of many rare and precious fruits.

However, Xin Ci's objective in coming to the Beast God Valley was to find the last Eternal Dao Seal, and he had no interest in lingering in the Myriad Beasts Forest.

Xin Ci, Feng Hao Cang, and the others spent over a month traversing the Myriad Beasts Forest before finally emerging from the dense woods and arriving at Heavenly Demon City.

Heavenly Demon City, built by the Ancient Dragon Ancestor, occupied a vast area and was currently jointly governed by the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors.

However, unlike human cities, the buildings here were composed of unevenly arranged trees.

Most houses were constructed at the treetops, and each dwelling was connected by thick branches.
