Chapter 3474: Chapter 3474: Too Scared to Move! (Part 1)
...
The next day, Ye Chen and Gu Han left Black Gold City.
At this time, Gu Han seemed full of energy; although his aura was still somewhat unstable, and his power had only recovered to seventy or eighty percent, it was far better than yesterday!
At the same time, he looked at Ye Chen with growing awe!
Casually taking out a supreme-grade healing pill — how could Ye Chen’s identity be ordinary?
Just outside the city gates, Gu Han spoke to Ye Chen: "Young Master Ye, we need to first go to Ziling City."
"Ziling City? Not heading directly to Refining God Peak?"
Ye Chen’s gaze flickered; he knew that Ziling City wasn’t far from Black Gold City.
Gu Han said: "I have a friend in Ziling City. Originally, we planned to go to Refining God Peak together. His family runs a business with travel beasts and has bred a few Green Phoenixes with extremely pure bloodlines. Riding on a Green Phoenix to Refining God Peak would be even faster than a Space Airship!"
With the speed of the two of them, they arrived at Ziling City within half an hour.
Ziling City appeared more prosperous than Black Gold City, and its size was almost half as large again; clearly, it was a higher-ranking city.
Ye Chen showed the identity proof that Chen Yang had prepared for him to the guards at the gate, and easily entered the city.
Led by Gu Han, Ye Chen soon arrived before a grand mansion.
The plaque on the mansion was inscribed with two flamboyant characters, Zhang Residence.
Gu Han nodded to the servant guarding the Zhang family’s gate, and the two entered the mansion, guided by a maid with a delicate appearance, heading towards the guest hall.
Gu Han observed the expressions of the people within Zhang Residence and frowned slightly, asking the leading maid: "Xiao Rou, has something happened in Zhang Residence? Why does everyone’s expression seem so strange?"
The girl named Xiao Rou turned her head with a sorrowful expression: "Young Master Gu, Second Miss has returned..."
"What!?" Gu Han exclaimed and suddenly stopped, his face changed drastically.
Ye Chen looked at Gu Han in confusion and asked: "What’s wrong?"
Gu Han’s face turned somewhat grim as he said: "Young Master Ye, this might be a bit troublesome. My friend is named Zhang Chi, the third young master of the Zhang family.
Zhang Chi, although flamboyant, is actually quite a decent person. However, his second sister is the most terrifying woman in Ziling City!"
Ye Chen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Fear flashed in Gu Han’s eyes as he replied: "The Zhang family, although the number one family in Ziling City, is merely a medium-sized family within the Star Swirl Domain. But, even people from major influences would give the Zhang family some face! Because it produced someone like Zhang Qiao Ling!"
"Zhang Qiao Ling, known as the number one genius in Ziling City for ten thousand years, broke through to the peak of the Heavenly God Realm at the age of fifteen, causing a stir in the entire Star Swirl Domain. Later, she was accepted as a disciple by the renowned elder of the Qianlei Sect, and within ten short years, she broke through to the seventh level of the Holy Ancestor Realm. Nowadays, Zhang Qiao Ling is considered the holy maiden of the Qianlei Sect, almost being groomed as the next sect master!"
"And this Zhang Qiao Ling is Zhang Chi’s second sister!"
Gu Han considered his martial arts talent quite monstrous, yet compared to Zhang Qiao Ling, it seemed insignificant...
Ye Chen asked puzzled: "Even if Zhang Qiao Ling is strong, what does it have to do with us?"
Gu Han opened his mouth, seemingly ready to say something, but at that moment, a flash of a figure appeared before them — a delicate-looking young man clad in a fiery crimson robe.
This young man, though seemingly young, had an aura matching that of Gu Han’s, similarly a Sixth Layer of Holy Ancestor Realm martial artist!
Gu Han showed a look of joy and said: "Zhang Chi!"
This person was indeed Zhang Chi!
Zhang Chi was taken aback, quickly covered Gu Han’s mouth with his hand, and whispered: "Don’t speak! My sister has gone out. Let’s take advantage of this time to quickly ride a Green Phoenix on the way! If she discovers, it might be troublesome!"
He looked at Ye Chen and asked: "Who is this?"
Gu Han quickly introduced: "This is Young Master Ye, who will go with us to the marriage conference at Refining God Peak."
"Heavenly God Realm First Layer Heaven?" Zhang Chi raised an eyebrow, "Brother, I advise you not to go. With your level of cultivation, you might encounter a lot of trouble at that Refining God Peak."
Gu Han slapped Zhang Chi’s head and said: "What are you talking about? Young Master Ye’s prowess is far above ours! You should worry about yourself instead!"
As he spoke, he wildly winked at Zhang Chi, signaling him not to provoke Ye Chen.
Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn’t help but laugh and said: "Gu Han, did you drink too much yesterday? You’re still not sober? Heavenly God Realm, stronger than you and me? Why don’t you say an ant can kill an elephant?"
He swept his gaze over Ye Chen, who stood quietly by the side, and laughed: "Mr. Ye, I’m somewhat curious about how you managed to turn my friend like this..."
Gu Han tightly covered Zhang Chi’s mouth and apologized to Ye Chen: "Young Master Ye, please forgive him. This kid is actually okay, but his mouth is somewhat rude..."
Ye Chen nodded indifferently; he could see that this man named Zhang Chi, although he spoke unpleasantly, wasn’t mocking him, but sincerely reminding him of the dangers at the Refining God Peak marriage conference.
Zhang Chi broke free from Gu Han’s grasp, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, since he’s your friend, let’s go together. If anything happens, this young master will hold up for you!"
He pounded his chest exaggeratedly and said: "Even those monstrous ones from major powers in the Star Swirl Domain have to give my second sister some face, right?"
Ye Chen chuckled lightly, although Zhang Chi was flamboyant, he seemed to value relationships.
Soon, a phoenix with feathers completely green as jade, majestic in appearance and as large as a small mountain, let out a clear cry, rose from the rear courtyard of Zhang Residence, carrying the three of them towards Refining God Peak.
Fierce winds swirled rapidly between the Green Phoenix’s wings. Its form trembled slightly and transformed into a blurry green shadow, instantly vanishing at the edge of the sky with unparalleled speed!
Even Ye Chen, sitting on the back of the Green Phoenix, showed a faintly surprised expression; in the Outer Realm and Upper Realm, even such travel beasts were far beyond what the Divine Kingdom could compare.
But this Green Phoenix hadn’t flown for long when suddenly from behind the trio came an even more resonant cry of the phoenix!
The Green Phoenix beneath Ye Chen and the others shivered upon hearing the cry, immediately halting in mid-air, not daring to move further!
