Beside Head Guard Huang, there was also a fellow who looked like he had crawled out from a pile of coal. It was none other than Head Guard Huang's son, Huang Cheng's lackey, Zhao Xingwu, one of the Zhao brothers.
After experiencing the dangers of the Boundless Secular World, Miao Yi originally thought that Zhao Xingwu wouldn't be able to come out alive. He never expected that Zhao Xingwu would actually return alive as well.
Needless to say, he knew that Zhao Xingwu had told him everything the moment he saw Head Guard Huang carrying his shining saber.
Others might not dare to act recklessly here, but Head Guard Huang was one of the leaders who had been transferred from the nearby city walls to maintain law and order. If Miao Yi killed his son, he would definitely find a reason to take care of Miao Yi.
"Hurry up and get to the willow tree!" Miao Yi anxiously pushed the siblings towards the willow tree.
The three siblings climbed up the willow tree and hid among the branches and leaves. Sensing that something was wrong, Fatty Zhang glanced at Head Guard Huang, who was leading a group of men to search everywhere. He asked in a low voice, "Big Brother, did something happen?"
Miao Yi immediately gave a simple explanation of how he had killed Huang Cheng and Zhao Xingkui. Little Lu covered her mouth in shock, her beautiful eyes staring at her Big Brother in a daze.
Fatty Zhang was also a little shocked. He never thought that his Big Brother would kill someone, but he quickly retorted angrily, "If he dared to do such a thing, Old Zhang will kill that Huang's entire family sooner or later!"
At this moment, the people inside and outside the city broke into a commotion. Everyone lifted their heads to look at the sky.
The silhouette of a magnificent golden phoenix was hovering in the sky above the ancient city.
After circling a few times, the golden phoenix suddenly collapsed into countless rays of golden light, revealing a woman in a fluttering red robe. The violent golden light transformed into a golden hairpin on the woman's head, and three pairs of golden bracelets on her wrists.
Two strands of red silk that were a hundred meters long fluttered in the sky, wrapped around the woman's arms, pulling her slowly down to the city walls.
Beneath her fluttering red dress, her snow-white, jade-like feet were exposed. Wearing a pair of pointed red cloth shoes, she gently landed on the city walls. Her posture was light and graceful, truly like a fairy walking on water.
The two strands of red silk that were a hundred meters long continued to flutter in the sky, as if they wanted to pull the woman in the fluttering dress back up to the heavens, to prevent her from being defiled by the mundane world.
The red-clothed fairy was standing on top of the willow tree. The three siblings looked up at her from a very close distance, and they were all dumbfounded.
A peerless beauty with delicate eyebrows appeared in front of the three siblings. Her skin was creamy, her eyes were clear, her nose was like a jade, her lips were red, and her eyebrows were like a painting.
The red silk sash on her waist perfectly accentuated her graceful figure, showing off her ample breasts and slender waist. A six-petaled red lotus appeared on his glabella, looking extremely lifelike.
Especially that chilly bearing contained within her refined and dignified demeanor, it seemed to be extraordinary, and it caused others to only dare look at it from afar and not dare approach it.
Hiding on top of the willow tree, Miao Yi and his siblings could smell the fragrance of orchids in an empty valley. It should be the fragrance of the red-robed fairy.
Miao Yi and Fatty Zhang were a little dumbfounded. In the past, Miao Yi thought that Old Li's daughter from the tofu shop was already pretty enough. But now, when he compared her to this fairy in front of him, not to mention her looks, her temperament was like the difference between heaven and earth. There was simply no comparison.
A silver-armored cultivator dashed up to the top of the city wall and cupped his fists in greeting. "Fifth Earthly Branch's Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing, I didn't know that Fairy Hong Chen would personally come. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you!"
As soon as he said this, the cultivators in the city were shocked. The person who had just arrived was actually Fairy Hong Chen? Most people had only heard of her name, but had never seen her in person.
Perhaps some people didn't know who Fairy Hong Chen was, but surely all cultivators knew about the Six Sages of Heaven and Earth. They were the six strongest people in the cultivation world, and all cultivators could only look up to them.
And Fairy Hong Chen was the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun's youngest disciple. One could only imagine her status.
Little Lu saw that her two brothers were almost drooling when they saw the beautiful fairy. She pouted her lips, looking very unhappy. She seemed to know how to be jealous at such a young age. She reached out and pinched her two brothers' waists …
The two brothers, who were grimacing in pain, snapped back to their senses. Fatty Zhang rubbed the place where he was pinched, and glared at Little Lu as a warning. He then turned back to continue admiring the beauty.
Miao Yi scanned his surroundings and realized that everyone was attracted by the red-robed fairy. This was the perfect opportunity for him to escape and enter the ancient city. As long as he entered the ancient city, Head Guard Huang wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
He quickly pulled his younger brother and sister and signaled them to go. The three of them quickly slipped down the old willow tree that had been resurrected from the dead. They stuck close to the foot of the city wall and quickly slipped away.
However, before he descended the tree, Miao Yi lifted his head to take a deep look at Fairy Hong Chen, deeply imprinting her beauty into his mind. He fantasized about how great it would be if he could take her as his wife one day. But soon after, he realized how laughable his thoughts were. He wasn't even qualified to marry the daughter of the tofu shop's Old Li, let alone a fairy. What a ridiculous fantasy...
Fairy Hong Chen also noticed the three people hiding under the willow tree. However, she only glanced at them indifferently. She didn't even pay attention to the silver-armored cultivator's greeting. Her bright eyes carried a hint of doubt as she swept her gaze across the surroundings. She softly muttered, "Ask the world of mortals, the withered tree meets the spring …"
This prophecy had puzzled her for a while. A few days ago, the most mysterious and elusive person in the cultivation world, the Sorcerer, suddenly arrived at Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun's wonderland, the Realm Beyond Heaven. He asked for something from Mu Fanjun, and Mu Fanjun gladly agreed and generously gave it to him.
The Sorcerer was an expert in divination. It was said that he could peer into the mysteries of the heavens. However, he was too low-key and mysterious. Normally, it was hard to find him. Now that he had finally appeared, Mu Fanjun naturally wanted to ask him for a divination.
Perhaps it was because he had received some benefits from the other party, but the Sorcerer didn't refuse. He ground jade into sand and laid out a prophecy. It was this sentence, "Ask the world of mortals, the withered tree meets the spring."
No one present could understand the meaning of this prophecy. Mu Fanjun immediately asked, "What does it mean?"
The Sorcerer shook his head and said, "The mysteries of the heavens cannot be revealed."
Mu Fanjun asked again, "Is it ominous or auspicious?"
Unexpectedly, the Sorcerer tilted his head and looked at Fairy Hong Chen. He smiled without saying a word, and then floated away.
His actions naturally attracted everyone's attention to Fairy Hong Chen. It was as if they had found a breakthrough point in this prophecy.
Didn't Fairy Hong Chen's title have the word "Hong Chen" in it? Moreover, the world-renowned Boundless Secular World was about to open. Everyone seemed to know what to do.
Thus, Mu Fanjun sent Fairy Hong Chen out to find the answer to that sentence, "the withered tree meets the spring."
However, Fairy Hong Chen had gone around the Boundless Secular World to several locations, but she still couldn't find the answer to that sentence. This was already the sixth location she had arrived at.
Just as she thought that she might not be able to find anything here, and was about to fly away, her eyes suddenly lit up. She stared at a certain spot in the ancient city.
She saw that on the eaves of a richly ornamented building in the city, there was a patch of fresh green. The wood that had already become a flying beam had actually grown new branches. A tender green stalk swayed in the breeze, looking fresh and moving.
"The withered tree meets the spring …" Fairy Hong Chen seemed to have found a clue. She floated away from the city walls, dragging two strands of red silk that were a hundred meters long in the air as she descended towards the building in the city.
