Inside the Heavenly Phoenix City Lord's residence, the venue had already been set up. There were lanterns everywhere, and the flames in the lanterns burned brightly. Through the patterns on the lanterns, it looked as if a flaming phoenix was about to spread its wings and soar.
The maids and attendants, who had been carefully dressed and dressed beautifully, moved about in an orderly manner.
The banquet hall was located in the Phoenix Hall, the most spacious hall in the City Lord's residence. The beautiful maid led Chen Zong to the Phoenix Hall with graceful steps.
Normally, the Phoenix Hall would not be opened. It would only be opened during important occasions to show its extraordinariness.
The Phoenix Banquet would be held in the Phoenix Hall.
"Unparalleled Sword Chen Zong … has arrived …" At the entrance of the Phoenix Hall, someone was responsible for announcing the arrival. The high-pitched voice, which sounded like a song, traveled into the hall and into the ears of many people.
"Uh … who is it?" Some people thought that they had misheard.
"Unparalleled Sword …"
"What a boastful person."
"Unparalleled in the sword. What does he think of all the powerful swordsmen?"
Everyone in the Phoenix Hall was stunned.
Immediately, a figure stepped into the Phoenix Hall as straight as a sword. Everyone's eyes fell on him.
Every gaze had a tangible feeling, as if they wanted to see through Chen Zong. Chen Zong's expression did not change.
Everyone present was only at the Heaven Stage. Even if there were differences in combat strength, they were still at the Heaven Stage and had not surpassed it. With Chen Zong's willpower, he would not flinch even in the face of the gaze of a Saint-level master, let alone a group of Heaven Stage masters.
The moment he stepped into the Phoenix Hall, Chen Zong swept his gaze across and saw everything in the hall clearly.
Set up!
It was magnificent. The dome was a picture of a phoenix bathing in fire. With it as the center, there were many patterns. Those patterns looked like birds, vivid and lifelike. It was a picture of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
Hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix!
Phoenix Hall!
Phoenix Banquet!
There seemed to be a special meaning to it.
Then, was the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden compared to the phoenix, and the others who came to participate in the Phoenix Banquet were birds?
Such an analogy.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Chen Zong did not say anything. Instead, he glanced at the group of people.
Shocking Heaven Sword Hundred Li Wu Yun was staring at him with a terrifying gaze, as if he wanted to kill him. On the other hand, Flowing Clouds of Heaven Ye Tianfeng smiled at Chen Zong. As for Boundless Ocean He Zhanghai, he glanced at Chen Zong indifferently before retracting his gaze.
He Zhanghai was not a swordsman, so Chen Zong called himself the Peerless Sword. It had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't help but mock him in his heart.
The others were a group of top prodigies, all of whom had the combat power of 11-star or 10-star. In the end, there were only ten people who came through the invitation cards.
Other than that, there were also people with high authority in Heavenly Phoenix City, such as the commander and vice commander of the Heavenly Phoenix City Guard.
"The City Lord has arrived." The sound of singing came from outside the door. It was very loud and resounding, and it directly entered everyone's ears. At the door, an old man wearing a luxurious robe walked in with a smile on his face. It was the Heavenly Phoenix City's City Lord.
"Greetings, all prodigies." The City Lord smiled and cupped his hands. Even though his combat power was extraordinary, and he had the combat power of the Heaven Realm, he did not become arrogant because of his strength and status. To put it bluntly, this was the world of cultivators, and strength mattered.
Without strength, no matter how high one's status was, it was useless.
The prodigies who were invited or came by their own invitation cards were not simple. They were all very talented, powerful, and had a bright future ahead of them. It was not impossible for them to reach the 11-star or 12-star level. Some of them even had a slight chance of entering the Undefeatable Realm.
Giving a good attitude and leaving a good impression of being polite was always a good thing.
"Greetings, City Lord."
No matter what the prodigies' temperament was or where they came from, at least they were invited. They all had to maintain their composure and return the greeting.
"No need to be so polite," the City Lord replied with a smile, looking very friendly.
…
In the Phoenix Court specially built by the City Lord, six Blazing Phoenix Guards were spread out in all directions, guarding everything.
In the Phoenix Court, the Heaven Fire Phoenix was resting, and the Golden Phoenix Carriage was parked at the side. Inside, there were three figures.
Two of them were maids, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's maids. They wore tight-fitting golden-red armor, which perfectly accentuated their tall and slender figures. The aura they exuded was very powerful and shocking. They were all Heaven Realm cultivators, and their auras were extremely terrifying. They were definitely elites with the combat power of the Undefeatable Realm.
As for the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden in the middle, her aura was incomparably deep, like the abyss of the sea. It was impossible to sense it.
"Goddess, someone actually calls himself the Unparalleled Sword. Isn't he afraid of being bitten by the wind?" The maid on the left smiled.
"He's just trying to please the crowd." The maid on the right was cold.
These two maids looked almost exactly the same. They were twins, and they were carefully cultivated by the Ancient Phoenix Mountain since young. They were maids who specialized in serving the Goddess. Their strength was very strong in the Heaven Realm.
But their temperaments were different.
"Unparalleled Sword …" A hint of surprise seemed to appear in the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's eyes.
"Goddess, it's your turn." The maid on the right didn't care about the Unparalleled Sword and reminded her instead.
"Let's go." The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's tone was light. She stood up and walked out of the Phoenix Court.
Outside the Phoenix Facing Hall, an incomparably sharp and resounding voice sounded directly as if it pierced through the clouds. It directly entered the ears of everyone in the Phoenix Facing Hall.
"She's here."
"Quickly go and welcome her."
Everyone in the Phoenix Facing Hall seemed to become enthusiastic. The eyes of all the prodigies lit up, and they stared expectantly at the entrance of the Phoenix Facing Hall. There were even some prodigies who quickly rushed over to welcome her closer.
Figures flashed, and someone stepped into the Phoenix Facing Hall.
She's here!
The first figures that came into view were wearing Ardent Phoenix Armor. They were the three Ardent Phoenix Guards.
The three Ardent Phoenix Guards stepped into the Phoenix Facing Hall in a semicircle. After passing by the three Ardent Phoenix Guards, everyone's eyes became brighter.
"We welcome the arrival of the Goddess." The Heavenly Phoenix City Lord immediately bowed, and the officials of Heavenly Phoenix City stood behind him. They bowed together with the Heavenly Phoenix City Lord and shouted loudly.
"Welcome, Goddess."
The prodigies also bowed one after another, and their eyes were all shining.
There was admiration and worship.
The Ancient Phoenix Goddess was the Goddess of the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. She was the representative of the Ancient Phoenix Mountain, and her status was lofty and extraordinary. Of course, that was not all. No matter how high one's status was, if one did not have the strength and potential to match it, it would be like a castle in the air, lacking a foundation.
The Ancient Phoenix Goddess was a powerhouse, and she was evaluated as a monster. In other words, the Ancient Phoenix Goddess' future was astonishing. She could have the battle prowess of a Heaven Rank powerhouse, which was an astonishing level that surpassed the twelve-star level.
In the entire inner universe, although there were many Heaven Rank powerhouses, there were not many true Heaven Rank powerhouses in the ultimate realm. And those who could surpass the ultimate realm were even rarer. Every one of them was famous in the Ancient Mystic World, and they were infamous for their fighting prowess.
Of course, the current Ancient Phoenix Goddess had not yet grown to that level, and she had not yet become an invincible powerhouse. However, it was said that the Ancient Phoenix Goddess' current battle prowess was extraordinary, and she was at least at the level of an eleven-star Higher Realm. As for whether she had reached the twelve-star level of the ultimate realm, it was hard to say, because the Ancient Phoenix Goddess had very few opportunities to fight.
Usually, when something happened, the ones who needed to fight were the Ardent Phoenix Guards and the two maids beside them. As long as the Ardent Phoenix Guards and the two maids fought, even a twelve-star level supreme realm powerhouse would be defeated.
Moreover, the status of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was extraordinary, and it was extremely rare for there to be elites who would deliberately target her. In this way, the chances of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden personally making a move in battle were even rarer, and it also made it even more difficult for others to know what level her strength had reached. In short, she could be described as unfathomable.
When the Ancient Phoenix Goddess stepped into the Phoenix Palace, Chen Zong's eyes suddenly narrowed, and wisps of light gathered at the bottom of his eyes. He stared, wanting to see the Ancient Phoenix Goddess clearly. Previously, outside the city gate, the Ancient Phoenix Goddess was sitting in the Golden Phoenix Carriage, and was covered by the protective light of the Golden Phoenix Carriage, so he could not see clearly. Now, there was no Golden Phoenix Carriage.
However, Chen Zong was disappointed, because the Ancient Phoenix Goddess's face was covered by a light red veil, and everything below her eyes was completely covered.
The problem was that the veil seemed to be some kind of protection, causing the aura of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden to be unfathomable and unfathomable. It also caused her face to become blurry, and her eyes seemed to be covered by clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
No matter who looked over, trying to see the Ancient Phoenix Goddess's face clearly, they could not see clearly. It was as if it was covered by a layer of invisible power, and there was a hazy feeling like looking at flowers in the fog.
The Ancient Phoenix Goddess's eyes were level, and it was as if in an instant, she was looking at everyone, but also as if she was not looking at anyone. This kind of feeling was very strange.
Chen Zong carefully observed the Ancient Phoenix Goddess's eyes, and found that when the Ancient Phoenix Goddess's eyes were fixed on him, there was no change, and it was completely the same as the way she looked at others.
"It really is not Nianxin." Chen Zong could not help but secretly say, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and also an indescribable feeling of disappointment.
Although from the beginning, Chen Zong felt that Yu Nianxin could not possibly be the Ancient Phoenix Goddess, and at most, she was someone close to the Ancient Phoenix Goddess, or she was acquainted with the Ancient Phoenix Goddess, but in the depths of his heart, there was actually a small fluke that even he himself could not detect.
That was, Yu Nianxin was the Ancient Phoenix Goddess.
Of course, this kind of situation was almost impossible, and the probability was less than one in a hundred million.
Fluke was still fluke, and now it was finally confirmed that it was really a kind of fluke.
No!
Otherwise, the Ancient Phoenix Goddess would not look at him the same way she looked at others.
Thinking of this, Chen Zong secretly shook his head, and felt that he was thinking too much. He also looked at the others, such as the six Ardent Phoenix Guards and the two maids. They did not wear veils, but the Ardent Phoenix Guards wore Ardent Phoenix Helmets, and only their eyes were exposed. The faces of the two maids could be seen clearly, and it was also because of this that he was sure that it was not Yu Nianxin.
"Now, I can only hope that the Ancient Phoenix Goddess and Nianxin know each other," Chen Zong secretly said.
