Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 597 There is Still One Place to Go

Chen Yuan was speechless, and said hesitantly:
"How did you find out that I was hiding here? My true body is hidden in the trees, so I can hide nothing even under the eyes of a golden immortal."

"Should I ask you or you ask me?" The Lovebird said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't answer, I will tell the other seniors!"

"It doesn't matter. This is not my real body." Chen Yuan said indifferently:

"But I came here because I really want to ask a few Spirit Bird Heavenly Demon Seniors something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Now that the humans are watching, it's not convenient for me to show up."

"Is that so? Okay, wait for another two hours, and we will set off after we have rested. Then you go to the front and wait. If you dare to run, I will let other seniors catch you."

After the Lovebirds finished speaking, their gaze remained on Chen Yuan, but they stopped transmitting messages.

Half a minute later, the leader of the group of spiritual bird demons, Fire Phoenix, nodded to Zhang Rang:

"Thank you, City Lord, for your help."

"You have all worked hard to quell the Undying Volcano. These trivial matters are not worth mentioning." Zhang Rang responded with a bow.

The Fire Phoenix nodded slightly without saying anything more. Instead, it stretched its neck, let out a long cry, and flew up first.

With it leading the team, other spiritual birds also spread their wings and flew, and the strong wind they raised drove away the cold rain.

Chen Yuan's Jiamu clone, with the advance reminder from the lovebirds, had already bypassed Dangxing City and was waiting in front.

The group of magical birds flew for half a quarter of an hour, and the lovebirds suddenly spoke:
"in front of."

Hearing this, the leading Fire Phoenix looked down and saw a man in a green robe standing on a high peak.

Judging from his aura, he has nothing to do with the person that Phoenix Ancestor is looking for.

I sighed and shook my head, wanting to leave immediately, but the lovebirds said:
“Senior Fire Phoenix, this person mentioned the Ghost Car and Phoenix Ancestor in his mind.”

"Oh?" Fire Phoenix raised an eyebrow, and finally folded its wings and descended from the clouds, landing on the peak where the man was, looking down at the man whose true identity could not be seen through and said:
"How did you know about the ghost car? Why are you looking for us?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at the lovebirds in the flock.

As if guessing his doubts, the lovebird raised its head complacently and said:
"We are a couple, so we can understand people's hearts. It's not difficult for me to hear your voice."

So that's how it is. The lovebirds have such natural talents and magical powers.

Chen Yuan suddenly realized, and then used the authority of the gods to protect the mind of this clone, isolating the innate magical power of the lovebirds, and then looked at the leading fire phoenix and said:

"What I want to ask is about the ghost car."

The Fire Phoenix tilted its head, signaling Chen Yuan to ask directly. As for whether to answer or not, that depended on its mood.

Seeing its attitude, Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment:
"May I ask where the Ghost Chariot is now at the Undying Volcano in the South?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? What does it have to do with you?"

The Fire Phoenix asked back and glanced at the Lovebirds, but the Lovebirds shook their heads in embarrassment.

It also didn't expect that Chen Yuan actually had the means to isolate its innate magical powers. If it had known this, it would not have told anyone about its abilities.

Now that I can't hear Chen Yuan's voice, I naturally can't help.

Fire Phoenix glared at it, then looked at Chen Yuan and said:

"First, tell me why you are looking for her, and then I will tell you whether she is in the Undying Volcano now."

Chen Yuan frowned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"I have an old agreement with her. If it is convenient, please tell Guiche..."

"If you have something to say, go find her yourself." Huo Feng interrupted disdainfully: "Are you really a great sage? Are you qualified to let me pass on your message?"

Chen Yuan was slightly stunned. He had been invincible in the Earthly Immortal Realm for a while, but he had forgotten that this was the Immortal Realm. He spoke a little casually. He immediately cupped his hands and said:
"It is not my fault, but I got a drop of Vermillion Bird's blood before I ascended. If you are willing to help pass on a message, I will offer this blood to you afterwards."

"Suzaku's blood?" Huo Feng raised his eyebrows: "Great Sage level?"

"···no."

"What use is that to me? I don't want it." Huo Feng refused straightforwardly.

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "In that case, I will not bother you any more."

"Wait, you haven't explained clearly why you're looking for the ghost car, and you're leaving now?" Huo Feng frowned, and raging flames rose above him.

Obviously, in order to protect the essence of the four seas in its mouth and the cold mist in its claws, it had intentionally suppressed its own breath.

But regarding this raging fire, Chen Yuan said calmly:
"I have already said that I have an appointment with Guiche, and I am only looking for her to fulfill the agreement."

"What agreement?" Huo Feng asked with narrowed eyes.

"What agreement it is is a private matter between Guiche and me. As you said, what qualifications do you have to ask about it?" Chen Yuan asked back calmly.

"Okay, okay, you're just relying on your clone to speak so arrogantly, right?"

A fierce look flashed in the Fire Phoenix's eyes, and then flames rose out of thin air and ignited on Chen Yuan's Jiamu clone without any warning. It was the aerial fire magical power unique to the Phoenix bloodline.

However, Chen Yuan, who was burned by the fire in the air, did not care. There was just a bit of coldness on his calm face, and he understood a truth in his heart.

If they don't seek protection from others, even if the Ghost Chariot and the Phoenix don't say anything, the spirit birds under them will probably look down on them.

Looking at the attitude of the Fire Phoenix, one can tell how arrogant these spirit birds are.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, he suddenly raised his hand, with most of his body burned, and pointed his right hand like a sword at the fire phoenix.

In an instant, sword intent like a volcanic eruption burst out from his sword finger, condensed into sword light and pierced towards the Fire Phoenix's head.

The fire phoenix reacted extremely quickly, tilting its head and pecking down fiercely with its long, sharp beak.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, a small hole was pierced in the beak of the fire phoenix, but the sharp sword intent dissipated, and Chen Yuan's armored wood clone was completely burned to ashes by the fire in the air.

A trace of brutal murderous intent flashed in Huo Feng's eyes, because the essence of the four seas that she had been holding in her mouth for nearly two months was now seeping out from the sword hole.

"You bastard, don't let me find your true form, or I will burn your body, mind and soul!"

After cursing, she looked down at the pair of lovebirds again.

The pair of lovebirds shrank their necks at the same time but dared not make a sound.

"Let's go!" The Fire Phoenix shouted angrily, spread its wings and flew away from the peak, leading the flock of birds to the Immortal Volcano in the south.

Hurry back before the essence of the four seas in your beak leaks out.

In Dangxing City, Chen Yuan's other clone arrived in front of a tavern in an alley.

As he stepped in, the shopkeeper who was counting the bills paused. When he looked up at him, his eyes were filled with the mark of time of Zhulong.

But he is not Zhulong, just a mortal with Zhulong's mark, or a puppet.

Chen Yuan sighed inwardly. He thought he had found another protector, but he only found a cover. But he was right. He had found the wrong place with the time mark, and it would be even more difficult for the Heavenly Court to find him.

If it was really that easy to find, Zhulong would not have lived to ascend.

Shaking his head, he walked into the tavern and sat down and said, "Boss, do you know where the mark in your eyes comes from?"

The shopkeeper's face flashed with panic at first, but he soon calmed down and said:
"Yes, it was given by someone."

"Where is that person?"

"do not know."

"Then why did he give you these two marks?"

"He spared my wife and I's lives and left these two marks, saying that they would help him share the attention of the pursuers. As for how long my wife and I can live, it all depends on when the pursuers find us."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan sighed helplessly:

"Give me a pot of wine. I am not the one chasing him. I am just a person who comes to collect a debt from him. So I will not harm your life or your wife's life."

When the shopkeeper heard that Chen Yuan was not here to kill him, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

After nodding, he turned around, picked up a cup of wine from the counter, and poured it for Chen Yuan with a smile:

"It may not be easy for you to find that person to collect the debt."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Chen Yuan picked up the wine and took a sip. It was spicy but not hot, but had a unique flavor.

"When that person appeared, he had a human head and a snake body. It was obvious that he was not from our human race. But he was able to enter this Dangxing City. He must have great magical powers. Such a person is not easy to find."

"The shopkeeper is right." Chen Yuan said with a smile:
"Especially after meeting someone like the shopkeeper, it becomes even harder to find him. I wonder how many people he has left his mark on."

The shopkeeper didn't say anything more, but went into the inner room and cut some more slices of meat and brought it over.

Chen Yuan was not polite either, and used this unknown liquor to calm his frustrated mood.

After finishing a cup of wine, his mood gradually calmed down, and his mentality completely changed from looking down on the world when he was in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Now, just like when he first entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, he considered everything from the bottom up.

If the Ghost Car does not come to look for him, he will have no choice but to find the way to the Immortal Volcano in the South by himself.

As for whether he would run into Emperor Donghua on the way, he couldn't say for sure.

If you think in the worst case scenario, the Ghost Chariot will ignore the Soul Contract and just sit on the Immortal Volcano, waiting for itself to come.

If I die on the way, it won't be her fault.

Apart from this worst possibility, the next best possibility is that the Ghost Chariot is willing to come looking for it, but is stopped by the Phoenix, which then sends many spirit birds to look for it.

Ostensibly, the purpose was to suppress the immortal volcano in the south and to find the essence of the four seas and the cold fog to bring back, but in reality, it was to find himself.

But with such a big commotion and lasting for such a long time, even Zhang Rang felt that it was inappropriate. Don’t other people think there is a problem?

Therefore, Phoenix may want to stabilize the Ghost Chariot, but actually does not want to send this hot potato to the Immortal Volcano.

The deliberate fuss is made to attract the attention of those who are interested.

Both possibilities are extremely dangerous for Chen Yuan.

As for Zhulong, if he is determined to avoid me, then I will be as conspicuous to him as a firefly in the dark night by searching for him based on the time mark.

If he didn't want to see me, I wouldn't be able to notice him even if he was sitting opposite me or walking past me.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the shopkeeper behind the counter and shook his head.
"Thank you for the hospitality, boss. Please settle the bill."

"No need, no need, just consider it as my repayment for that person..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Chen Yuan left a top-grade spirit stone and a fist-sized silver ingot, then stood up and walked out of the tavern.

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly trotted over, picked up the spirit stones and silver, and chased to the door, but just as he got outside the door, he saw Chen Yuan's figure turned into incense and divine light and disappeared.

“Eh…”

The shopkeeper opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly, then took the spirit stones and silver ingots and sat down behind the counter.

As he struck the abacus again, his facial features began to change.

Soon, he turned into Zhulong. Looking at the spirit stones and silver beside the account book, he said helplessly:
"It's a pity that I can't repay the favor with this dinner."

As he spoke, the tavern in the alley began to distort. An illusory sound of water could be heard all around, as if a long river of time was washing away the surroundings.

When the sound of water died down, the tavern disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared, or as if it had just appeared, but was just a silhouette in the long river of history.

Outside Dangxing City, Chen Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the fairy spirit roiling in front of him in silence.

Seeing him like this, Tian Yao Palace couldn't help but wonder:

"What's wrong? Is things not going well?"

“It didn’t turn out well for either side.”

Chen Yuan shook his head, briefly described the experiences of the two clones, and mentioned his own speculation.

After hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Hall Spirit panicked: "Your two backers are unreliable, what are you going to do?"

Chen Yuan originally wanted to hear what good suggestions it had, but he didn't expect it to ask what to do right away. He sighed and said:
"With all your years of experience, don't you have any suggestions?"

"The Demon Court is gone, what other suggestions can I have? I asked you to revive the Demon Court but you are unwilling to take up the banner. Otherwise, some great saints would be willing to come out and help you."

"If I jump out now and say I want to revive the Demon Court, the Heavenly Court will be able to capture me first without Emperor Donghua taking action." Chen Yuan said with a smile:
"Who do you think is faster, the Heavenly Palace or the Great Saints who survived?"

"What do you mean by surviving? That's so ugly..." Tian Yaodian muttered, and then said blankly: "Then I really don't know what to do."

"Is there no place to hide?" Chen Yuan said unwillingly.

"No, if there was, I wouldn't have been cast down to the lower world. I could have just found a place to hide."

Chen Yuan sighed when he heard this. His plan to use Huangquan to pass on something had not yet begun, but this place was already in a dangerous situation.

Without anyone to protect him, it’s hard to say how long he can survive in this fairyland.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the Heavenly Demon Palace suggested:

"Otherwise, you should go to the Undying Volcano in the south by yourself. Although the journey is long and dangerous, if you can really get there, it will definitely be safer than staying here."

Chen Yuan said with a slightly serious expression:

"Didn't you hear my speculation just now? If Phoenix really didn't want me to go to the Undying Volcano, she would have countless ways to kill me, and the simplest one is to tell Donghua."

"But this is just your guess. What if she doesn't have such thoughts?"

"What if she does?" Chen Yuan asked back:
"If she didn't, after hearing that I had an old agreement with the Ghost Car, her spirit birds would not refuse so straightforwardly even if they didn't want to pass on the message. Besides, I'm paying them to deliver it."

The Heavenly Demon Palace Spirit was silent for a long time before speaking:
"Then your ascension is a way to your own death, isn't it?"

"No, I have somewhere else to go."
