March 1st, Flame Island.
The Flame Island was called an island, but its surface area was tens of millions of square kilometers, and it was as vast as a continent. Hundreds of millions of people live on it. Among them, about 50 million people lived in the center of Flaming Island: Flame City.
After tens of thousands of years of continuous construction, Flame City had become one of the most magnificent cities of the human race.
The buildings of Flame City were not particular about symmetry. Instead, they preferred a grand and exaggerated style.
The colors of the buildings were also bright and vibrant. Vermilion tiles, bright yellow walls, and so on. There were bright red and green colors everywhere!
The capital cities of the seven human nations all had different colors.
Simply put, the Mountain Kingdom was simple and heavy, the Jiang Kingdom was luxurious and exquisite, the Yue Kingdom was gentle and elegant, the Yang Kingdom was righteous, the Lin Kingdom was natural and simple, and the Wind Kingdom was neutral and peaceful. However, these six countries were deeply influenced by Daoism and Confucianism, so they all pursued symmetry and unity in their styles.
The overall style of Flame City was vastly different from that of the other six capitals. It wasn't just the architecture, but also the customs, food, and so on. They all had a strong and unique characteristic of the Fire Nation.
The news of Gao Zhengyang establishing his own sect spread. Since February, experts from all over the world had been pouring into Flame City. The rich and bright colors of Flame City gave these outsiders a great shock.
The unique Flame City also attracted the interest of many people. Taking advantage of the fact that the sect's opening ceremony had yet to be held, they toured around Flame City. It also added a bit of liveliness and noise to this ancient city.
"Big Sis Feihong, you've stayed in Flame City for a long time, so you're the most familiar with this place. Quick, tell us where it's fun …"
Jiang Yueyi tugged at Yan Feihong's sleeve and said coquettishly.
Yan Feihong, who was dressed in a moon-white dress, had her sleeves pulled off by the lively Jiang Yueyi. However, there was nothing she could do. All she could do was smile bitterly.
Jiang Yueyi was bright and spirited, while Yan Feihong was elegant and gentle. They were both rare beauties with extraordinary temperament. The two beauties tugging at each other in the middle of the street also attracted a lot of attention.
Some of the young men's eyes even began to shine. Those who were thick-skinned couldn't help but slowly move closer to the two beauties.
Yan Feihong did not like being the center of attention. She said helplessly, "Martial Aunt Xiaoyi, you are not a little girl anymore. You have to be obedient. Grandmaster told us not to wander around … "
"That old man is the most bored. He stays in his room every day!"
Jiang Yueyi said disapprovingly, "Flame City is quite fun. Bring me around, okay …"
In the end, Jiang Yueyi put on a pitiful face and acted cute. Yan Feihong was too embarrassed to reject his adorable and bright appearance. However, Yan Shisan had instructed them not to go out and cause trouble now that experts from all over had gathered in Flame City.
Just as Yan Feihong was in a dilemma, someone beside her couldn't help but step forward and say, "I'm very familiar with Flame City. I can bring the two of you around …"
The man who volunteered was in his twenties and was quite handsome. However, the crimson robe he was wearing was a little too colorful. Waving a fan on such a cold day made him look like a slut.
Jiang Yueyi rolled her eyes at the man. "We're talking. It's none of your business."
More than ten years ago, Gao Zhengyang had placed her under Yan Shisan's care, and she had been learning the sword from him ever since. Although he had just reached the Heaven Rank, he had seen countless experts as he followed one of the three great swordsmen. How could he care less about this kind of wastrel?
Jiang Yueyi's words were very blunt, but she was bright and cute. The man fell in love with her more and more. How could he be bothered with her tone? He was also an experienced womanizer and was very thick-skinned.
He chuckled and said, "Miss, I'm just being kind. Please don't misunderstand. I know a friend who can see the Vermilion Bird Stage up close. That's a forbidden area in the palace. Ordinary people definitely can't see it … "
"Shoo, shoo. I'm not interested."
Jiang Yueyi waved her hand disdainfully as if she was chasing away a fly, gesturing for the man to scram.
According to her plan, she should go and see Gao Zhengyang after arriving at Flame City. However, Yan Shisan was adamant. This made her very depressed. She could only drag Yan Feihong out to relax.
She thought about how a random man could enter the palace while she, Gao Zhengyang's good friend, could only stay outside. Jiang Yueyi was even more depressed.
There were many people watching at the side. Although the man was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed after being treated like this. He frowned slightly and said, "Miss, I'm just doing this out of goodwill. When you travel, you need to rely on friends. The more friends you have, the more options you have, right … "
"You're dressed like a girl. Who wants to be friends with you?"
The man's incessant pestering made Jiang Yueyi lose her patience. She became even more impolite with her words.
The surrounding crowd roared with laughter. Spectators were never afraid of things getting out of hand. Moreover, no one expected the beautiful Jiang Yueyi to have such a venomous mouth.
The man in red's face turned slightly red. He suppressed his anger and said, "So what if I'm wearing red? Gao-Sect Leader is still wearing red!"
The agitated man almost called out Gao Zhengyang's name. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that he was in Flame City. Calling Gao Zhengyang's name in front of so many people was practically asking for death. He quickly changed his words.
Jiang Yueyi was even more disdainful now. "Gao Zhengyang is still the world's number one. Are you?"
She turned to Yan Feihong and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this person's brain. How dare he compare himself to Gao Zhengyang. How dare he! "
Yan Feihong didn't want to cause trouble. She pulled Jiang Yueyi's hand and said, "Alright, I'll take you out to play. Don't cause trouble."
Yan Feihong didn't want to cause trouble. She saw that the situation wasn't right. If they continued talking, something might really happen. She dragged Jiang Yueyi away.
The man in red's expression flickered. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't dare to stop them in front of so many people. After all, this was Blaze City, Gao Zhengyang's territory.
All the heroes of the world were gathered here, but how many dared to act so impudently in Flame City?
The man in red was originally from a branch of the Huo imperial family. He shouldn't cause trouble at a time like this. But in front of so many people, he really couldn't take it lying down.
At this time, a middle-aged man beside him said in a low voice, "Third Master, there's nothing to be afraid of. These two women both have golden swallow pendants on their belts. They're prostitutes from Swallow Dock. "
Huo Wuyuan's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He sneered, closed his fan, and clapped his hands. "So it's just prostitutes. How dare they put on airs in front of me? Let's go and play with them to death! "
Although the Huo imperial family had declined, their ten-thousand-year foundation couldn't be dug up in a short period of time. In reality, apart from the pure-blooded Huo imperial family members who had been killed. The other branches of the Huo imperial family were living quite well. In fact, they were even more comfortable than before.
After ten thousand years, the bloodline of the Huo imperial family had long since spread throughout the Fire Nation. Zhu Jinghong could kill the direct descendants of the Huo imperial family. However, there were countless branches of the Huo imperial family. If he really did kill them, he would kill at least one-tenth of the Fire Nation.
Thus, no matter what, Zhu Jinghong could only tolerate the original branches of the Huo imperial family. Although their bloodline wasn't pure, they had all received good education and practiced profound martial arts. Their abilities were far above that of ordinary commoners.
Zhu Jinghong had changed the name of the nation to Ming, but he still needed all kinds of talented people to manage such a vast empire. The original branch of the Huo Clan had quietly risen to power in the process of reselection.
Zhu Jinghong was well aware of this. However, he himself was a branch of the Huo imperial family. He was inextricably linked to these branches of the Huo imperial family. He couldn't kill them.
After a few years, although the original branch of the Huo imperial family didn't have the grandeur of the past, their power continued to expand.
Huo Wuyuan didn't have an official position, but he could do whatever he wanted in the western district. Because the opening ceremony was about to begin, Fire City was filled with all sorts of people. That was why he was more cautious.
But after being encouraged by his subordinates and knowing that the other party was just a woman from Swallow Dock, he became excited.
Swallow Dock was the most famous brothel in the world. The women who came from there, no matter how beautiful, were all for sale.
The Yan clan relied on their own beauties to form relationships with the other factions. They had a stable foothold in human territory. The Yan clan didn't have a good reputation among humans. They had always been treated as playthings by the various Huo imperial families.
Huo Wuyuan naturally didn't care about Swallow Dock. He took his four subordinates and hurriedly chased after them.
The middle-aged subordinate who was a step behind had a cold look in his eyes. It wasn't a coincidence that he was able to meet Jiang Yueyi and Yan Feihong here today.
Huo Wuyuan was a lecherous wastrel. He couldn't stand beautiful women. With a bit of encouragement, they took the bait.
Yan Feihong also noticed that there were people chasing after them. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she pulled Jiang Yueyi and walked a few steps faster. It was too easy for two Heaven rankers to shake off their pursuers.
After chasing for a while, Huo Wuyuan found that Jiang Yueyi and Yan Feihong had disappeared. His anger rose, and he waved his hand fiercely. "I'm going to play these two girls to death today! Go, find more people. Let's see where they can run to … "
In a restaurant on the long street, two men were standing by the window, watching the show. They had all heard Huo Wuyuan's words clearly.
The two men looked at each other and smiled. The net was already spread. Zhu Jinghong, Buddhism, Gao Zhengyang, no one could escape!
