"Something is wrong here."

Zhihao was ignored by Riku, but what Riku had spoken took his attention.

"What do you mean?" They are currently inside Riku's World, and if she said something is wrong, then something must've changed from its previous luster.

Riku looked at Zhihao and replied.

"Don't worry about it, it just feels like the Celestial Energy within this World is dense."

Zhihao looked at Riku and spoke: "Dense? then isn't that great? your citizens will be so much stronger than before."

Hearing Zhihao's words, Riku shook her head as she replied: "Well if you come back to the Cultivation World and immediately felt that the density of the Spiritual Energy is million times stronger than before, would you think it is great?"

Zhihao was shocked at such a thing, if those things are true, then there could only be a few reasons.

"What is the problem?"

Riku pondered for a bit, after a while, a serious expression appeared on her face and spoke.

"I could only think of a few reasons, one is that my World, evolved further on my absence and the inhabitants inside couldn't drain it."

Pausing for again for a few seconds, Riku continued: "Or that, the inhabitants of my World has weakened, they have not properly consumed the Celestial Energy and it stacked so much that it has now come to this state."

Zhihao looked at Riku who's expression is extremely in a bad mood, he then asked: "What's the bad thing about it?"

Riku looked at Zhihao as she replied: "The worst outcome is, my Celestial World will explode and it will go back to the time that I first made it."

Hearing those words is shocked, Ying Mai then asked.

"How many inhabitants live in your World?"

Riku closes her eyes and went into her very own World.

Inside her head, a World appears, Riku is in her human form, waving her hands back and forth, then after a while, some ancient texts appeared together with a lot of seals like some sutra.

Riku read those words as a frown appeared on her face.

Returning to the physical world, Riku looked at Ying Mai and replied.

"There are 2,180,240,988 inhabitants living in my World, double of the population that my World previously had."

Both Zhihao and Ying Mai frowned, that's a big number.

Riku looked at them and added: "That population is occupying 5% of my World, while monsters are occupying 53%"

Zhihao was shocked.

"How big is your Celestial World Riku?"

Riku pondered for a while before replying: "Well, about a thousand times bigger than your Cultivation World."

"That's extremely big!"

Zhihao and Ying Mai simultaneously exclaimed.

Riku was about to reply, but someone outside shouted.

"Halt!"

Riku stopped what she's about to say, Zhihao and Ying Mai looked outside and saw that they are already in the entrance of the City.

Seeing Zhihao's face, the guard is slightly hesitant, but he still asked.

"Sir, do you have a Phoenix pass? or will you pay?"

Zhihao immediately made his head go back inside and looked at Riku.

"What do I do?"

Riku looked at Ying Mai and spoke: "There is a pass inside the pouch I gave you."

Ying Mai nodded as she scanned, then a wooden tablet is inside with a phoenix inscribed with a wing in the upper part of it.

Ying Mai withdrew it out of the pouch and immediately handed it to Zhihao.

After taking the pass, Zhihao immediately passed it to the guard.

The guard nodded and received it, retrieving his stare, he looked at the Phoenix pass that Zhihao gave, but seeing the Phoenix pass, the guard was shaking, he immediately became scared as he handed it back to Zhihao.

"Pardon me for stopping your carriage, your Majesty!"

Seeing their Guard captain shaking in fear, the rest of the guards became scared and opened the gate immediately.

The demon beast immediately entered seeing the gate finally opened.

A silhouette in the distance saw these and frowned, she immediately vanished into the shadow and stealthily followed.

Riku noticed this as a smile formed on her lips.

Ying Mai also noticed bug just tried to ignore it.

Zhihao was astounded: "Shouldn't you give us something to make us take a little low profile."

Zhihao's power is currently sealed due to the side effects of the power he had used against Akasha.

Riku smiled as she replied: "Don't worry, just go and find an Inn for the both of you to stay."

Zhihao sighs as he let Riku do what she wants.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of an Inn.

Zhihao and Ying Mai walked out of the carriage, Riku landed in Ying Mai's shoulder and unsummoned the carriage and inserted it inside her own dimension.

The three of them walked towards the Inn, then a silhouette appeared out of nowhere, covered in a black rode, glaring madly at Zhihao and spoke.

"Traitorous b*stards! I`ll have your neck serve in a silver platter!"

Zhihao looked at the silhouette in shock: "What do you mean by that?"

The one in black robe didn't reply and immediately dashed forward, pulling out a sword out of nowhere as the one in the black robe pointing it at Zhihao's heart directly.

Ying Mai immediately stood in front of Zhihao as she glared at the black-robed man.

Seeing this, the black-robed man was shocked but immediately increased his phase.

"Royal Swordsmanship: #21 Phoenix Pierce!"

A surge of power was summoned as he continued his pierce, a red stone floated above the black-robed man as the sword is immediately wrapped in some mysterious power, but it resembles something, an extremely fiery flame.

Ying Mai opened her eyes widely and spoke.

"Playing fires in front of me! You are not qualified!" Ying Mai held her hand out as her thumb and index fingers caught the sword, the flames wrapping the sword immediately dissipated as the sword shattered to pieces.

Ying Mai summoned her own flames as the flames wrapped around her, it immediately formed into two wings and immediately blew away the robed man, throwing him a few meters away.

"Do not ever think, that I`ll let you die an easy death!"
