Chapter 403: Chapter 397: For the Fire (1st Update)

"Missing home?" Su Chen was somewhat surprised. Ling Long appeared to be the type who was very cold, as if her entire life was left with nothing but martial arts cultivation. Even compared to Yoo Junluo, she wasn’t much different. Such a personality shouldn’t harbor thoughts of home."

"Yes!" Ling Long nodded, slightly embarrassed.

Su Chen looked at her deeply, it turned out he was mistaken...

"Su Chen, let’s go!" Ling Long did not want to continue this topic and said coldly, quickening her pace.

"Alright!" Su Chen naturally did not mind accompanying Ling Long. First, Ling Long was beautiful—though cold, she was still a feast for the eyes and having her company along the way meant he wouldn’t be lonely. Secondly, being new to the Divine Wind Continent, his initial plan had been to leave the Burning Heaven Mountain Range alone and then ask for directions, possibly finding the route to Feng Yin City. But now, with Ling Long, at least he did not need to ask for directions.

Both of them were quite strong and not slow, so it took them about two Shichen to exit the Burning Heaven Mountain Range.

Upon exiting the Burning Heaven Mountain Range, Su Chen finally couldn’t help but speak up as Ling Long had been silent like she was practicing Silent Meditation the whole time.

"Since you are from Feng Yin City, Ling Long, tell me about Feng Yin City!" Su Chen said, knowing your enemy and yourself, you shall not be defeated in a hundred battles. His trip to celebrate the City Lord’s birthday was like entering the tiger’s den—extremely dangerous, so the more information he had, the better the chances of preserving his life.

"Feng Yin City is the largest city within a radius of 30 million miles. It has a constant population of 30 million martial cultivators, and each day, as many as 50 million martial cultivators come and go."

"There are three Fifth-Rank Powers in Feng Yin City. The first is the City Lord Mansion Lin Family, which is not only a Fifth-Rank Power but also a top contender among them."

"The second is the Xu Family, which also has considerable influence within Feng Yin City, second only to the Lin Family. The Xu Family dominates over seventy percent of the elixir business in the entire city, and moreover, they own the largest auction house in Feng Yin City."

"Then there comes the Ling Family. The Ling Family is an old, established family, one of the longest-existing families and once sovereigns over Feng Yin City. In recent centuries, due to the rise of the City Lord Mansion Lin Family and the Xu Family, they have been suppressed to the third place!"

"Besides, there are no fewer than ten Sixth-Rank Power families in Feng Yin City, none of which are inferior to the Burning Heaven Sect in comprehensive strength!"

......

After Ling Long finished, Su Chen’s eyes narrowed: "Ling Long, you wouldn’t happen to be a member of Feng Yin City’s Ling Family, would you?"

"Yes!" Ling Long did not deny and nodded.

"Then why aren’t you cultivating with the Ling Family instead of going all the way to the Burning Heaven Sect?" It was strange, after all, as a Fifth-Rank Power, the Ling Family definitely had better martial cultivation resources than the Burning Heaven Sect.

Ling Long’s choice was indeed very strange.

Ling Long fell silent, not answering, but Su Chen noticed a hint of coldness flash through her beautiful eyes!

"Let’s talk about the Lin family head’s birthday celebration," Su Chen shifted the conversation.

"The Lin family’s birthday celebration is very dangerous!" Ling Long said solemnly and glanced at Su Chen, "The event will gather all the talented individuals from the powers large and small within 30 million miles around Feng Yin City. With so many talents gathered, there will inevitably be comparisons and competitions. Su Chen, though I know you are extraordinary and strong, please do not be careless. Divine Martial Continent is never short of talents!"

"Will you be going to the Lin family head’s birthday on that day?"

"Yes, but not representing the Burning Heaven Sect, but the Ling Family!" After Ling Long spoke, the atmosphere became quiet again.

Su Chen and Ling Long did not speak again.

After a long while, Ling Long took the initiative to ask, "Su Chen, why did you choose to join the Burning Heaven Sect?"

In Ling Long’s view, Su Chen’s talents were sufficient to join a Fifth or even a Fourth-Rank Force.

"For fire!" Su Chen said truthfully.

"For fire?" Ling Long looked startled, then seriously said, "Then, when you go to Feng Yin City, you must seize the opportunity, it’s best to form a good relationship with the Xu Family..."

"Why so?"

"The Xu Family owns the largest auction house in Feng Yin City, and through them, you can get some information about the True Fire Spirit, Fire Seed!"

"I see!" Su Chen nodded, taking note. Though his aim was the Earth Fire Vein of the Burning Heaven Sect, having other fires he needed was even better. He wasn’t one to turn down what came his way.

Moving on.

Both of them sped up again.

Under Ling Long’s lead, they headed in a certain direction.

Along the way, Su Chen noticed a distinct difference between Divine Martial Continent and Earth—there were no roads, everything seemed like wilderness.

Yet, there were not few people. Su Chen’s Divine Soul constantly covered about a kilometer around him, and from time to time, he could sense the presence of other human martial cultivators.

These human martial cultivators, basically moved silently with great speed and haste, navigating without fixed roads.

He understood that this was due to the specific environment of Divine Martial Continent—aside from cities and Sects where forces gathered, other areas of Divine Martial Continent were basically ruled by Demon Beasts.

It was very dangerous.

Thus, the martial cultivators travelled very swiftly.

Moreover, human martial cultivators also intentionally separated, moving in different places and directions rather than making a road that everyone would follow.

Making a common road would be like seeking death; if everyone followed the same path, it would gather too many human martial cultivators, attracting Demon Beasts to make them into lunch or dinner?

Finally, after a half-day’s journey.

They arrived!

From a distance, it appeared as a gigantic city, even more magnificent than Divine Human City, and in front of the city, there was a protective moat that was a hundred meters wide.

Directly in front of the city gate was a wooden suspension bridge.

The city walls were very ancient and already showing signs of wear, and atop the city, there were multiple martial cultivators with solemn expressions guarding it.

"Su Chen, you must not be from Divine Martial Continent, right?" Ling Long suddenly said, "Along the way, although you haven’t said much, it’s clear that you are curious about everything around you, like a newborn baby seeing scenes you’ve never seen before!"

"Indeed, I am not from the Divine Martial Continent; my homeland is a subsidiary plane of Divine Martial Continent!" Su Chen said with a wry smile. Although Ling Long was cold, her observations were indeed sharp.

"I see!" With Su Chen’s affirmative answer, a flash of astonishment passed through Ling Long’s beautiful eyes. To ascend from a low martial plane to the Divine Martial Continent under such cultivation illusion conditions, Ling Long was certain that it was as difficult as scaling the heavens, yet Su Chen had done it; he was outstanding.
