While the Northern Continent was facing a crisis, Yun Lintian was currently arranging things on the Moon Garden and prepared to leave for the Divine Phoenix Palace.
"Actually, you don't have to go." Nantian Fengyu looked at Yun Lintian and said with a serious expression.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "Helping them is akin to helping myself. As you can see, the Poison Valley is extending their tentacles everywhere throughout the world. There's no way I can fight them alone… I'm not trying to be a hero who saves the world, but I simply cannot avoid them since our grudge has been formed deeply. There's only one victor in the end."
Nantian Fengyu went silent for a moment and said. "Since that's the case, I will try my best to take over the palace."
Yun Lintian said. "Just do at your own pace. No need to force yourself."
"Mhm!" Nantian Fengyu nodded. "Let's go, shall we?"
"Yes." Yun Lintian nodded and followed Nantian Fengyu toward the Divine Phoenix Palace with Linlin.
With the Heavenly Cloud Profound Skyship's speed, the two had arrived at the perimeter of the Divine Phoenix City in an hour.
Looking at three majestic mountain ranges in the distance, Yun Lintian couldn't help saying. "The location here is really good. With mountains on three sides, I'm afraid anyone with ulterior motive has to think twice."
Sitting on Yun Lintian's shoulder, Linlin cast her gaze over the mountain range curiously. With her bloodline, she could perceive a strong Divine Phoenix aura coming out of it, which showed that the Divine Phoenix bloodline here was genuine.
"Let's go in." Nantian Fengyu didn't feel anything special about it. To her, this place was full of sorrow that she wanted to forget.
Yun Lintian could perceive Nantian Fengyu's low mood and stopped saying anything. He calmly followed her toward a giant city gate in the distance.
Divine Phoenix City was the divine city governed fully by the Divine Phoenix Palace. Anyone who wanted to do business here must go through a strict review by them first, which made this city one of the safest and most impartial cities in the Azure World.
The foundations of the Divine Phoenix Palace could be rivaled by that Sky Qilin Clan of the Western Continent. Their prestige was incomparably high that even the Azure Palace must give them face if they wanted to do anything here on the Southern Continent. This was also one of many reasons that the four great sects didn't dare to challenge them.
In front of the city gate, where many guards could be seen patrolling and checking the crowd, a teleportation formation that frequently lit up as people entered came into Yun Lintian's line of sight.
He looked at it with great interest as he asked. "There's even a teleportation service. How convenient. It seems the Divine Phoenix Palace is really rich."
"There's a large Profound Stone mine underneath those mountain ranges." Nantian Fengyu explained without hiding anything. "Besides, it's not free as you think."
"I see." Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. This further confirmed that the location here was indeed a golden area.
With the Profound Stone mine here, unless they were stupid enough to excavate every piece of Profound Stone, the Divine Phoenix Palace would enjoy a rich profound energy environment and hefty wealth that was almost inexhaustible for thousands of years to come.
As Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu approached the city gate, several guards immediately noticed them. More precisely, they noticed Nantian Fengyu's Divine Phoenix aura.
Immediately, a group captain strode forward and greeted Nantian Fengyu with the utmost respect. "Welcome back, True Inheritor. May I know if you want to go to the palace directly or walk around the city first?"
"Go to the palace." Nantian Fengyu replied coldly.
The captain glanced at Yun Lintian and hesitated slightly. According to the regulation, he must strictly check everyone that comes and goes out of the city, even if that person came with the Divine Phoenix Palace disciple. However, Nantian Fengyu's position was different. He wasn't sure whether he should perform a regular check on Yun Lintian.
"He's my Junior Brother." Nantian Fengyu looked at the captain coldly.
Her words were enough to scare the captain. He didn't dare to be neglected anymore and hurriedly opened the teleportation formation for her.
Yun Lintian followed Nantian Fengyu into the formation and bright light flared up as spatial fluctuations rocked the area before the two of them vanished from the place.
The captain heaved a sigh of relief while wiping cold sweat out of his forehead when he saw the two go away. He had long heard about the True Inheritor's personality before, but he didn't expect to meet her here one day. Thankfully, he wasn't stubborn and insisted on checking. Otherwise, he would certainly become a pile of ashes by now.
A moment later, Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu appeared in a beautiful garden with countless exotic flowers.
"Welcome back, True Inheritor!" As they appeared, a group of female disciples stepped forward and greeted them respectfully.
Nantian Fengyu frowned in dissatisfaction. She didn't like this kind of reception. When she was about to say something, Nantian Xuanyu's voice suddenly resounded.
"You two are here. Come to the inner hall directly."
Nantian Fengyu didn't say anything and directly led Yun Lintian to the inner hall.
Along the way, Yun Lintian carefully observed the place and found many powerful auras hiding in this place. Presumably, they were the hidden guards of the Divine Phoenix Palace.
What surprised him the most was the formations here. He recognized that all of them were extremely ancient, and some were said to be lost along the passage of time. This proved that the Divine Phoenix Palace's heritage was deeper than he had imagined.
A while later, the two arrived at a majestic hall with a phoenix image shimmering above the roof. This place was the inner hall usually prepared to welcome an esteemed guest.
Nantian Fengyu ignored a few disciples standing at the entrance and directly brought Yun Lintian to the hall.
Upon entering the hall, Yun Lintian suddenly felt a wave of burning sensation sweep over his entire body, causing him to frown slightly.
"How dare you?" Nantian Fengyu was angry as she stared coldly at an old woman sitting on a phoenix throne.
