Fire State Capital, Fire City.
As they neared Fire City, Chu Xin and Chu Chen stepped out of the Divine Coffin, planning to enter the city discreetly.
"This Fire State is really hot."
Chu Chen, sipping on Ice Beast Milk, looked up at the scorching sun and muttered softly.
"Otherwise, why would it be called Fire State?"
Chu Xin, also drinking Ice Beast Milk, found the weather in Fire State unbearably hot. Even though they were robust, they still found it a bit difficult to adjust to this heat upon their first arrival.
Back in Big Stone Village, it was snowing every day.
Even when they had visited other states, it just felt warm, having never imagined that it could be this hot.
Fortunately, they had Ice Beast Milk to drink, which was chillingly refreshing.
"Let’s go, into the city."
With a wave of her fair hand, Chu Xin led Chu Chen into Fire City.

As they strolled, they moved closer to the Teleportation Array. They saw some small items for sale that were unique to Fire State and bought them.
On their way to Fire City, Chu Chen had already erased the marks from the Sumeru Ring and categorically sorted all its treasures. Naturally, there were plenty of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Coins.
In the Divine Coffin, Chu Xin, with purple hair, determined the direction of the Transmission Array by asking those Cultivators from Longzhou and simultaneously relayed the directions to her physical self.
Although those people were from Longzhou Cultivators, they visited Fire State often and were quite familiar with it.
"We’re here."
After a period equivalent to the burning of a stick of incense, Chu Xin and Chu Chen finally reached the vicinity of the Teleportation Array.
"Uncle, hello, we want to go to Longzhou."
Chu Xin paid the fee, tilted her head back, and said in a babyish voice.
"To Longzhou?"
The Teleportation Array Guard, with a full beard, scrutinized the two kids, his eyes flickering slightly. Then, accepting the money, he smiled and said, "Alright, wait a moment, I’ll set up your destination."
Having said that, he waved his hand and began setting the destination for the teleportation.
A little later, he turned to Chu Xin and Chu Chen and said, "All set, go ahead."
"Thank you, uncle."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen thanked him and stepped into the Teleportation Array.
Buzz!
The Teleportation Array flashed with light, and the siblings disappeared.
"Sister, is this Longzhou?"
Chu Chen opened his eyes, looked around at the empty, vast expanse, and asked in confusion.
"No!"
Chu Xin frowned slightly; just a moment ago, the purple-haired Battle Body had learned from those Cultivators from Longzhou the truth. This place was not Longzhou, it seemed more like a special space formed by some Prohibition.
"Who’s playing tricks, come out right now or I’ll whoop your butt!"
Chu Xin, hands on her hips and puffing her cheeks, said angrily.
"Whoop your butt."
Chu Chen, understanding the situation, mimicked his sister and shouted loudly.
"Whoop."
The two-headed piglet on Chu Chen’s shoulder joined in the chorus.
Whoom!
A Blood Robed Man slowly emerged, hovering in the air, looking down at the siblings and said indifferently, "Brat, hand over those twelve Blood Demon Pillars."
Next to the Blood Robed Man, another middle-aged man appeared, looking at the siblings in surprise, he said, "Blood Demon Envoy, are these the two cultivators you mentioned who dug out the Blood Demon Pillars? You aren’t joking with me, are you? By their looks, they seem to be no more than five years old, right?"
"State Governor from Longzhou, never underestimate these two brats. All ten Great Elders under my command are in the Martial Emperor Realm, yet these two kids still managed to escape."
The Blood Demon Envoy said indifferently. However, he was too embarrassed to admit that the ten Great Elders were defeated by these two kids, as that would be too shameful.
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise appeared on the face of Long Yuyan, the State Governor of Fire State. These two brats could escape from the joint hands of ten Martial Emperors, it seemed they really had some abilities.
It was said that the elder brother took the Heavenly Prides of Longzhou to force the Empress to abdicate, but they returned without success. Long Shaotian who was in the Martial Emperor Realm was defeated by one of these brats. According to the Blood Demon Envoy, these two kids came from Central State, presumably one of them was the monstrous Heavenly Pride who defeated Long Shaotian.
"Blood Demon Pillars? What are those? Sister, do you know?" Chu Chen looked completely bewildered.
"I have no idea either."
Chu Xin shook her head, her round eyes also full of confusion.
"You don’t know about the Blood Demon Pillars?" the Blood Demon Envoy asked frowning.
"Nope, what kind of treasure are they? Are they powerful?" Chu Chen asked curiously.
The Blood Demon Envoy was somewhat speechless. If these two kids didn’t know about the Blood Demon Pillars, why would they dig them out?
Suppressing the urge to explode, he said sternly, "They are the twelve red pillars that support the Blood Demon Hall. Hand them over, and I might spare your lives."
"Oh, those pillars."
Chu Xin’s face lit up with realization, asking excitedly, "If you had just told us that from the start, wouldn’t we have known? So they are called Blood Demon Pillars, huh? What do they do? Tell us about it."
They had emptied out all the treasures of the entire Blood Demon Hall, and yet the Blood Demon Envoy only wanted those twelve pillars back; clearly, those twelve pillars were the most precious objects in the entire Blood Demon Hall.
Seeing the look in these two kids’ eyes, the Blood Demon Envoy finally confirmed that they genuinely did not know about the Blood Demon Pillars, and then said, "They are of no use to you, but the Blood Demon Hall needs these twelve pillars to stand up; apart from that, they have no other function."
Chu Xin rolled her eyes dramatically, saying in dismay, "You bad guy, you think we are three-year-olds and easily fooled, don’t you?"
The Blood Demon Envoy’s eyes flashed with a hint of rage, but he still forcefully suppressed it, saying sternly, "Those Blood Demon Pillars are truly useless to you; just hand them over, and I can exchange them for other treasures."
Long Yuyan’s gaze flickered slightly, and he chuckled, "It’s unexpected to see the Blood Demon Envoy being so hesitant."
The Blood Demon Envoy glared at him, I am being cautious, not timid, okay? As the plan to rescue the master was progressing step by step, at this critical juncture, he did not want to provoke a powerful enemy and disrupt the plans for rescuing the master.
With such exceptional talent and strength, the forces behind these two kids must be even more formidable; it’s better to avoid provocation if possible.
Chu Xin blinked her round eyes and said cheerfully, "It’s okay, we can take them back and use these twelve pillars to build a palace for fun. Little brother, what do you think we should call it?"
Chu Chen tilted his little head, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "How about calling it Barbecue Palace?"
"Great, let’s call it Barbecue Palace."
Chu Xin nodded her head and turned to the Blood Demon Envoy again, asking, "You bad guy, do you think this name sounds good?"
Barbecue Palace? What kind of tacky name is that?
Long Yuyan was somewhat speechless.
"I..." Just as the Blood Demon Envoy was about to speak, Chu Xin interrupted him.
"Never mind, whether you think it sounds good or not isn’t important. I think it sounds cute because I really like eating barbecue, hehe."

Chu Xin waved her tiny white hand, her voice milky and playful.
"Brat, since you are seeking death, don’t blame me."
The Blood Demon Envoy’s tone turned cold, and the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Despite his apprehension about the power behind these two kids, those twelve Blood Demon Pillars had to be seized back; they were essential for setting up the Twelve Blood Demon Array and were absolutely critical.
