ALL NOVEL Chapter 825: 804 Fuxi City_1
"Chu Qin, feel free to speak."
Quickly, Chu Qin described the general appearance of the city to Huo Ninger.
"A city that is hundreds of times larger than the Fire God Capital can only refer to two places in the Life Forbidden Zone: Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City," said Huo Ninger. "It must be one of them, no doubt."
"Then, is it Fuxi City or Chi Emperor City?" asked Chu Qin.
"It doesn't matter, both cities are right next to each other, only a few hundred miles apart," Huo Ninger replied. "By the way, Chu Qin, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"The Tree of Life is very likely to be near these two cities," Chu Qin said with a smile. "I want to go and see for myself."
"Ah? Chu Qin, you're leaving!" Upon hearing this, Huo Ninger actually exhibited a hint of desolation.
"Yes, I came here to find the Tree of Life," Chu Qin said with a nod, smiling. "Of course, I have to visit these two cities."
"Alright…" Huo Ninger nodded and hesitated.
"Will you come with us?" Chu Qin asked.
Huo Ninger shook her head, "I am the Ruler of the Fire Nation. Unless the Divine Emperor orders otherwise, I cannot leave the Fire Nation light-heartedly."
"Then there's nothing to be done," Chu Qin said with a light smile. "I can only wait to come back and see you after I return from Fuxi City."
"How long will you be back?" Huo Ninger asked subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin seemed to understand something. "Why, can't you bear to part with me?"
At this, Huo Ninger's pretty face blushed slightly, and she hurriedly retorted, "It's because with you all here, I have many people to talk to. Once you leave, I will be the lonely emperor of the Fire Nation again."
"If you don't wish to be the emperor of the Fire Nation, why not just give it up!" Chu Qin said with an indifferent smile.
Huo Ninger shook her head, "The Fire Nation was handed down by our ancestor Zhurong, and I am the only direct descendant of the Zhurong line. How could I just give it up because I say so?"
"Alright, then there's nothing to be done," Chu Qin said with a smile. "Don't worry, once we find the Tree of Life, we will definitely revive your grandfather!"
"Okay! So, when will you leave?"
"Once they wake up."
Under Huo Ninger's reluctant gaze, Chu Qin led the women away from the Fire God Capital.
"Chu Qin, Ning'er seems to have a hard time letting us go," Xi E said, looking at Chu Qin.
"There's no choice, she must stay in the Fire Nation," Chu Qin said with a smile. "And I cannot stay here either; otherwise, who would revive Elder Taicang?"
"Right," Xi E nodded.
"Chu Qin, are you sure that the Tree of Life is definitely in Fuxi City?" the Life God King asked.
"Of course, I can't be certain," Chu Qin replied. "I merely used the Tree of Life leaf given to me by the Moon Emperor to find the approximate location. As for its exact spot, I don't know."
"Right, your name is Huo Dong, isn't it?" Chu Qin looked at Huo Dong, the man who was to be their "guide," provided by Huo Ninger.
"Yes, my lord," Huo Dong nodded.
"Tell us about the situation in Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City," Chu Qin said, looking at Huo Dong.
"Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City, like you distinguished lords, were established in this realm by mighty human beings from the lower planes," Huo Dong explained. "The current City Lord of Fuxi City is named Calabash Great Emperor, while the City Lord of Chi Emperor City is Ren Tu Great Emperor. Both are as inscrutable in strength as the Divine Emperor and Emperor Youlong. Moreover, Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City are home to numerous powerhouses, which is why they can maintain their footing alongside our Ancient God Tribe and Nether Beast Race."
"However, the enmity between these two cities runs deep, with constant wars erupting over the years. Thus, the entire Life Forbidden Zone has formed a standoff, known as the 'Two Cities, Two Realms, One Tree.'"
"How powerful are Calabash Great Emperor and Ren Tu Great Emperor, exactly?" Xi E inquired.
"I don't know," Huo Dong shook his head, "Their powers are unfathomable, and moreover, it's been many years since any of them made a move. However, the power of the Divine Emperor is three parts stronger than that of Great Emperor Taicang."
"It seems they are above the Sky Calamity Supreme God," Xi E said, realizing.
"Yes, just yesterday, when I used my Divine Sense to probe, I encountered a super-strong being," Chu Qin said, "It must have been one of those two emperors."
"Chu Qin, do you think our master could be in one of these two great cities?" Xi E asked.
"Whether he is there or not, we'll know once we go," Chu Qin said with a smile.
"My lords, that right there is the territory of Fuxi City," said Huo Dong, pointing to a gigantic city below them at that moment.
This city was identical to what Chu Qin had glimpsed, its appearance and format exactly like that of the Fire God Capital, but it was much larger than the Fire God Capital.
"In Fuxi City, our Fire Nation has some influence as well," Huo Dong continued, "The ruler has ordered that these forces can be freely utilized by you."
"Good, when we return, thank your ruler for me," Chu Qin said, nodding and smiling.
"Yes!"
In the midst of conversation, Chu Qin, along with the girls and Huo Dong, had already arrived at the city gates of Fuxi City.
Just as Chu Qin and his group were about to enter the city, a masked army suddenly came galloping and whistling from behind.
"Who are these people?" Xiaowu complained. The dust kicked up by the army had dirtied her skirt.
"They are the Nether Beast Race, who have transformed," Huo Dong said.
"Indeed, and they are not just any Nether Beasts," Chu Qin said with a smile.
"Does Fuxi City actually allow the Nether Beast Race to enter?" Xiaowu asked with slight confusion.
"They do allow it," replied Huo Dong, "Both Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City are open to all races. As long as the creatures aren't too large and don't threaten the public order of Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City, they can enter. That's why Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City are large gathering places for races other than the Ancient God Tribe and the Nether Beast Race. However, the Ming Clan generally stays within the Nether Beast Realm. The fact that so many of the Ming Clan have come here probably means something is happening."
"Whatever it is," Chu Qin said indifferently, "Let's enter the city. As long as it doesn't hinder our business, it doesn't matter."
"Yes!" responded Huo Dong, nodding.
It was evident that the streets of Fuxi City were unusually prosperous with many races walking about, and the vast streets were packed full.
The arrival of Chu Qin and the girls immediately attracted countless gazes.
There was no helping it—Chu Qin and his group were simply the epitome of attractiveness, inevitably becoming the center of attention wherever they went.
But no one dared to cause trouble. In Fuxi City, causing trouble would mean at best being expelled from the city, and at worst, losing one's life.
"Chu Qin, how is it? Can you sense the exact location of the Tree of Life here?" asked Xi E.
Chu Qin shook his head, "It's still a bit vague, but the feeling is getting clearer, which means we're on the right track."
"Mm," Xi E nodded.
Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, and many others were drawn to the bustling streets and began to roam around.
The currency here was also Divine Core Energy Crystals, which were practically universally accepted throughout the universe. Soon, the girls had their hands full with various items.
"Aren't you charging too much? Asking for a billion Divine Core Energy Crystals for breaking such a small, broken bottle?" Just then, Wang Qiu'er's voice could be heard from up ahead.
Chu Qin and the girls all walked over.
They saw, at Wang Qiu'er's feet, the remnants of a shattered vial of liquid, which she must have accidentally knocked over.
"Miss, this is liquid that dripped from the Tree of Life," said the shopkeeper, a fat, middle-aged man, speaking coldly, "Today, if you don't pay up a billion Divine Core Energy Crystals, you're not leaving."
