With Ye Chen agreeing to keep the Little Phoenix by his side, the Little Phoenix once again fluttered its chubby little wings and flew onto Ye Chen's shoulder, wanting to continue absorbing the energy inside him.

However.

It couldn't absorb it anymore!

Ye Chen's face darkened slightly.

Little fellow, I've only got a little bit of the ancient clan's remnant energy left unrefined, and you sucked it all out. What more do you want to absorb now?!

Then, without a word, Ye Chen grabbed the Little Phoenix in his hand again, and shouted, "If you dare burn me again, I'll roast and eat you!"

The Four Demon Kings: "..."

Honestly, the Four Demon Kings wished to slap Ye Chen into a pulp right now, for daring to treat the young master this way... Bastard!

The Four Demon Kings couldn't understand why the young master was so determined to follow Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sensed the killing intent from the Four Demon Kings and quickly placed the Little Phoenix back on his shoulder, saying, "Don't mind me, I'm just joking with the Little Phoenix."

The Black Flood Dragon Demon King said in a low voice, "Ye Chen, please treat our young master well. Furthermore, you can stay in the Luoyao Mountain Range indefinitely. The Moon God of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom has spoken, the Thousand Spirits Sect won't dare to bother you again. Since you've declared your separation from the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, you have nowhere to go anyway."

"The world is so big, I want to see it!" Ye Chen said.

"But the young master..."

"The Little Phoenix is following me. If you're worried, you can follow me too!"

Riding a phoenix with the Four Demon Kings as guards sounds wonderful just thinking about it.

"We once made a promise not to leave the Luoyao Mountain Range. This time we went to the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, fortunately, it's not far from the Luoyao Mountain Range. If we go too far from the Luoyao Mountain Range, we would suffer the backlash of our oath..." said the Golden Roc Demon King.

Ye Chen's eyes flickered.

Previously, Luo Qingyi mentioned that there was nothing special about the Luoyao Mountain Range and that there was a problem with the Four Demon Kings staying here with the phoenix egg.

"What's the deal with this Little Phoenix?" Ye Chen asked.

The Four Demon Kings remained silent until the Black Flood Dragon Demon King spoke, "The master intended to continue the bloodline but unfortunately met with a great calamity and fell here.

Before the fall, the master had us swear a lifelong oath to guard here, not allowing anyone to desecrate the master's remains..."

"Where are the remains?"

That must be a powerful phoenix, even after death...

The Black Flood Dragon Demon King said, "The master was schemed against. After the fall, the master's remains... turned to dust shortly after."

"Since the remains have vanished, your oath should be invalid then."

"No." The Celestial Fox Demon King's voice rang out, "Back then, there were actually five of us Demon Kings following the master. Later, one of them thought the master's remains had perished and had second thoughts, even stealing the essence left by the master and leaving the Luoyao Mountain Range. That guy immediately suffered the oath's backlash and the essence was lost..."

Ye Chen suddenly understood. The essence to nurture the phoenix egg was lost outside because of this, and then Ye Chen asked, "I heard there's another egg in the Luoyao Mountain Range, what's that about?"

The Golden Roc Demon King said, "That's my egg!"

Ye Chen: "..."

"We were worried enemies would come, so we used my egg to transfer some of the young master's aura into it. In the end, that egg was stolen and broken by some damned guy!" The Golden Roc Demon King was filled with killing intent.

Ye Chen remained expressionless, pretending to know nothing.

Dongfang Xiu helped him, so he decided not to betray him.

It seems the idea of having the Four Demon Kings as bodyguards is unrealistic, but Ye Chen didn't feel particularly disappointed. So he said, "Since you can move around the Luoyao Mountain Range, if anything happens at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, I hope you'll take care of it."

The Black Flood Dragon Demon King said, "We know what to do, but please also be kind to the young master!"

Ye Chen picked up the Little Phoenix and placed it in his palm, gently stroking its feathers, saying, "Don't worry."

......

Not long after, Ye Chen left the Luoyao Mountain Range heading northwest with the Little Phoenix.

He wanted to see a broader world. The True Martial Hall was indeed an excellent choice. According to the map sent by Fatty, the branch of the True Martial Hall in Cangzhou is located in central Cangzhou.

Meanwhile, the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in southern Cangzhou.

Therefore, the road to the True Martial Hall is a long one.

After leaving the Luoyao Mountain Range, Ye Chen once again grabbed the Little Phoenix from his shoulder.

He was wary of the Four Demon Kings watching him from the shadows earlier since they were so close, but now he had no such concerns.

"Little Phoenix, quickly grow bigger," Ye Chen shouted.

How can he ride it if it doesn't get bigger?

This little thing can grow. It got bigger during the tribulation earlier, Ye Chen saw it clearly!

The Little Phoenix had tears of grievance almost in its eyes.

"It's still young. Occasionally growing bigger is fine, but it can't carry you flying yet," Luo Qingyi from within the Sword Tomb couldn't help but comment.

Ye Chen laughed sheepishly, "So that's how it is."

Saying so, he placed the Little Phoenix back on his shoulder, and while traveling he said, "Little Phoenix, what's your name? Let me give you one."

"How about Dandan? After all, you were an egg before."

The Little Phoenix let out an angry zizi noise.

A noble member of the Phoenix Race being called Dandan… it would be better off dead!

"Then how about Rou Rou? Little Chick? Fat Bird?" Ye Chen teased.

The Little Phoenix continued to express anger with zizi noises!

"My name is Huang Xuan!"

"..." Ye Chen: "You can talk!"

"Why not Feng Xuan?"

"In the Phoenix Race, Feng is male, Huang is female." Luo Qingyi couldn't help but remind Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chuckled.

So this Little Phoenix is a female...

"Huang Xuan doesn't sound good, let's call you Zizi then."

The Little Phoenix remained silent.

Zizi doesn't sound good, but compared to Dandan, Little Fat Bird, Little Chick, it's infinitely better!

Within the Sword Tomb.

Master Legs: "Ye Chen, this silly boy used to be good at naming things, what kind of lousy names did he come up with today for the Little Phoenix!"

Luo Qingyi glanced at Master Legs.

Ha... and you think being called Master Legs sounds good?

Master Legs muttered to himself, then chuckled, "I must say, this silly boy has a good mentality. Someone else would have been crushed by what happened at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

I can tell he's suffering inside, but he doesn't show it. Using this way to relieve his stress isn't a bad idea."

Luo Qingyi didn't refute Master Legs' comment.

She also saw that Ye Chen was under enormous pressure.

But this boy never liked to say it, he only resolved it in his own way.

......

Seven days later.

Ye Chen, traveling at full speed, finally reached the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This area was filled with yellow sand, exuding a sense of desolation.

Ahead, a tall city wall stood, with guards lined up above it. Also, there were many array restrictions surrounding the city wall, making it difficult to leave quietly.

Ye Chen scrutinized the city wall.

Suddenly, his expression focused, and his gaze was fixed on a figure.

Blue hair like a waterfall, face covered with a light veil.

A white dress as pure as snow, unstained by dust, like an immortal fairy in a painting.
